At 3784 30th St in North Park, Whips n Furs Costume Shop is the neighborhood's only year-round Black-owned and LGBTQ+-owned costume retailer stocking stage-grade makeup from Ben Nye, Kryolan, and Mehron. Performers renting or purchasing costumes here send pieces to Ann's Alterations & Tailoring on University Ave for custom fitting before show night. The inventory spans full costumes, character wigs, masks, special-FX supplies, and a curated vintage clothing section. Drag and burlesque performers preparing for events at Queen Bee's Art and Cultural Center source complete stage looks from this single location. The most involved builds are head-to-toe character assemblies combining rented garments, styled wigs, and Kryolan prosthetic-grade makeup for full theatrical productions.
