The World of Jimmy Star

If Hot Topic is a McDonald’s breakfast sandwich, than Jimmy Star is Sunday brunch at the Tudor House. To expand upon this, the clothes at Jimmy Star are a more high-​class, trendy version of the boarder– line costume duds you can pick up at your local Hot Topic. A hint of dominatrix, studs galore, rocker-​chic. And maybe that is your thing and all this sounds wicked enticing and you can’t wait to hop in your car and trek off the beaten path all the way to Sunrise Blvd. to this run down strip mall. Well, don’t bother. In the same plaza as Jezablles (see review) I used to pop in here every now and again when in the area, mostly just for a look.
Years went by, a good two or three, where I stopped pursing fruitless shopping expeditions at Jimmy Star. Then one day, not too too long ago, I was in the area and decided «hey why not? I am here anyway.»
I park and stroll on over to the storefront, casual as ever. As I go to open the door though. well it doesn’t open. I can see someone inside and the sign says open. Hmm maybe its a push and not a pull. Nope that doesn’t work either. Having over 20 years of door operating experience, I concluded to the fact that the door was locked. So there I am, standing outside Jimmy Star and having a stare down with the disgruntled looking woman on the inside. Finally, she comes to the door and cracks it just enough to ask me if I have an appointment. Well oh la la, I didn’t realize this turned into such a fancy establishment in the last few years. I told the woman that I did not have reservations to come shop in their store, to which she then asked me if I was going to buy something. Umm? How do I know if I want to buy something if you don’t let me in to look around. At this point, I lost all interest and the whole thing felt a little sketch so I just left.
I have not attempted to go back since and do not ever plan on it.
Just weird.
