I really Love this store and they are EVERYWHERE. They have Music and they have BAND STUFF.

My eldest daughter was an assistant manager there before her baby was born. It's a pretty cool store.

I love Hot Topic...
it is a very cool store!!

looove it!

what are ya? goth?




seriously, though, i have shopped there. mostly for someone else, but they occasionally have something i'd consider putting on my body.

They have lots of cute things!

No, because I'm not 16.

if they'd had a lot of the superhero, movie and video game apparel that they do when i was 15, i'd probably have an orgasm every time i went in.

but alas, i'm trying to dress a little more sophisticated these days one of my best friends buys stuff in there all the time, though. or i do. for him.

No. The one at my local mall is always filled with middle school and high school age kids....I always feel like I'm too old to shop there

never bought anything there. i usually just pass by it in the mall. i feel too old for it.

It is a COOL store,but it is JUNIOR SIZED so the clothing runs SMALL.

i love you and sexton!

I used to love to get my fingernail polish there when I was 17 (200 years ago). I had never heard of it until I visited the Mall of America back in 1995. We ended up getting a store around here about 10 years ago and I do shop there now if I'm buying make-up or jewelry for a costume. Other than that, only when I'm buying a gift card for a my friend's 13 year old. I do think some of the stuff there is really cute but I couldn't fit half a butt cheek in any of it. And the clothes are too expensive for something so poorly made, IMO.

It's a scary ass stow

And they always have loud ass music

Alej said:

loud ass shitty music usually

but i really do like to get stuff from there occasionally. i just make myself temporarily deaf before walking in.

I really like Hot Topic, but unfortunately the stores are like tasty bait to very, very hungry EmoFish. It's been impossible these last few years to go into a store without some over-dramatic 14 year old pushing you out of the way so they can scour the bargain bins for that perfect Nightmare Before Christmas accessory that really and truly bespeaks the pain of their existence.
