Granville Street is where the world came to Mix it up during the 2010 Olympics. We're carrying this same spirit into the summer with a slew of summer events including dance, music, food and drink. Come visit Vancouver's Street and get the details here.

Chop Shops new Digs.


The Chop Shop will be moving south on the street across from the Best Western Chateau Granville, beside neighbours Le Chateau and The Refinery.

Here's a sneak peak at the space, which will be twice as large as the former location, with a vintage diner-style color bar and pool table.The lovely burlesque beauties you've come to love will still grace the decor.

The new shop is expected to open in mid-december.

Just another day on Granville - With post-Candy Hangover.

The thing about Granville is.. you should expect the unexpected. It's no surprise that the street becomes a natural mustering ground for ghouls and their cohorts the night of Hallow's Eve. Hope you had a safe one.

Canadian Mint to come to Granville for Christmas



The Canadian Mint is making a return in the old Salad Loop location. Rumor says this will be a temporary location just for the Christmas Season so be sure to drop by soon to get your special uncirculated coins here.

Costumes on Granville - Downtown Vancouver

It's still possible to get costumes in Vancouver.

Bang-on/Cherry Bomb - 843 Granville
Tons of costumes for men and women. I saw a cute bumblebee costume for women, super heroes (yes Batman is there too, and you know that'll be a sure thing with the ladies.)



Camouflage - 888 Granville
Medieval costumes for ladies, to fatigues for men. Still a selection upstairs.



Dare to Wear - 1028 Granville
The more daring wenches can go here. More fetish oriented but some cutey ones too. Must be pretty daring as the outfits tend to be a higher quality but considerably less fabric.


Scarlet Shop & Indulgence - 460 Granville
As posted earlier... a limited selection of extremely high quality costumes. Just gorgeous. You'll be the bell of the ball. It's a nice store you could buy your jammies and naughties in without feeling self conscious.


Glinda the Good Witch Costume from the Wizard of Oz/Wicked. Love it. Pricier side at $49.99 but totally worth it when you see it. The material is lovely and it's well cut. You won't look like a drug store tart.

Bob Sagat isn't on Full House anymore. But he's coming to the Vogue

Turns out Danny Tanner isn’t what we think. Bob Sagat is an edgy, pervy comedian and he’s coming to entertain us at the Vogue November 26.
