Today ONLY: All Flannels 50% Off!
Get your Kurt Cobain on for cheap! Today, Wednesday, Feb. 10, all flannel shirts at The Red Light are 50% off!
We have a huge selection of flannels – all sizes, many colors, many plaids and buffalo checks. All you need to do to grab today’s special discount is mention “Flash Sale” at the registers. (If you don’t mention the sale, you don’t get the discount.)
And while you’re in here stocking up on flannel shirts, why not try to figure out which black velvet painting hanging in The Red Light Courtney Love tried to buy? We wouldn’t sell it, but she didn’t take “no” lightly…
Who Loves Johnny Thunders?
Who loves Johnny Thunders? We do! But we were beyond surprised to read Simon Doonan, famed Barney’s window dresser, singing JT’s praises in The Daily Beast.
Mr. Doonan basically writes that what the world needs now is a little Johnny Thunders; the New York Dolls guitarist had serious cool and serious personal style, not to mention great talent. How could you not be inspired by just that hair?

Do You Like/Love Vintage Blacklight Posters?
Along with being crazy about vintage clothes, if you’ve ever been in The Red Light you might have noticed that we also have a thing for vintage velvet paintings and blacklight posters. Judging by how many people ask us everyday if our posters or paintings are for sale, we’re betting that a number of our customers share our fondness for tacky pop art.
If you’re one of them, then check out this book: Ultraviolet by Dan Donahue, with an introduction by MGMT. The book features 69 premium vintage blacklight posters reproduced in full color with light sensitive inks so they glow under blacklight just like the originals!
Turns out this tome came out in October ‘08! We’re shocked we didn’t hear about it sooner (especially since the publisher, Abrams Image, also produced our book on vintage rock T-shirts, Rock Tease), but what can you do?
Just put on “Electric Feel”, open the book and enjoy the psychedelic explosion!

Hair Metal for Christmas?
Dudes! We just got in a bunch of copies of Hollywood Rocks! - a big, beautiful, picture book all about Hollywood and hair bands in the ’80s. Bands featured include those you know (Motley, Poison) and those you probably don’t (Leatherwolf, Glamour Punks) plus pics of the hair studios, clothing shops and other haunts favored by hair metal rockers. This book is seriously metal nirvana.
Hollywood Rocks! is sure to please any rocker you know, as well as any fashion junkie (so much spandex!)…And who wouldn’t want a book with Axl Rose on the cover anyway? Give hair metal for Christmas!
