Voodoo

Voodoo is the perfect destination for fans of The Cramps and B-​52s.
An alternative, unisex boutique, it stocks a great selection of 50s rockabilly dresses, polka dot blouses, dogtooth shirts, skinny jeans, stripey jumpers and skull prints. Labels include Iron First, Criminal Damage, Rock Steady, Hell Bunny and Living Dead Dolls and as you’d expect, they stock some fab black and white tees emblazoned with rock and roll bands and old movie stars.
The only disappointment? There’s no poster of Lux Interior and Poison Ivy shredding their guitars and playing ‘Bikini Girls With Machine Guns’.

Like Marj says, Voodoo kind of fits into the same bracket of stores like Hellfire in Glasgow, and to me at least, seems to sell the exact same clothes as them, and all other ‘alternative’ shops I have ever been in.
Goth, Emo, Skater and Punk are the styles on offer, and that’s about it. I am totally not against this type of place, its just that it doesn’t directly appeal to me any more, although it would have done about 7 or 8 years ago. Everyone’s trying to be alternative, different and wayward from the norm but what shops like this create are just Gothic versions of River Island or Topshop mannequin dressers, but with heavier eyeliner. We’ve heard it all, and seen it all, before. Yawn.
Anyway, my own personal views aside, Voodoo stocks top name brands such as Iron Fist & Co and Criminal Damage, and nothing in here is terribly expensive. Although some things are just plain terrible.

Lynsey’s comprehensive review has pretty much summed this place up, but I’ll give it a bash!
A lot tamer than Whiplash Trash and veering more towards alternative than Cookie, Voodoo cuts a happy medium of alternative without trying to be «emo» (or whatever the kids are calling it these days).
A bit like a smaller scale version of Glasgow’s Hellfire, Voodoo stock a number of rockaburley 50s style halterneck dresses from the likes of Hell Bunny and Rock Steady, to name but a few. As Lynsey has said, they are all about their B-​Movies and tend to stock brands who specialise in making such clothing. They have very bright zombie inspired t-​shirts for girls and guys from Iron Fist & Co.
A shop that is alternative without being garish or glaringly self-​conscious, Voodoo is worth a look. Their burlesque dresses are quite bewitching!
