We are pleased and proud to offer the services of an excellent and talented seamstress. Jennifer Duvall, also known as "Ho-Made" has been selling her quality designs at Rad Betty's for two years now. Make an appointment for a day and time that's convenient for you. She can fulfill any garment need or dream. Alteration, repair, vintage remakes, custom creations. All she needs is a photo. Did I mention how nice she is?

"How many times do I have to tell you? You don't put a bra in a dryer! It warps!"~Hedwig; Hedwig and the Angry Inch

As far as your vintage clothing finds are concerned, the dryer is not your friend! If you care for your new vintage piece properly it will reward you with literally decades of wear.

Depending on the fabric, hand washing in Woolite or dry cleaning may be in order. This goes for wool, jersey knit, silk, and anything with beads or sequins. Always check the care label. A good long soak (30 min) in lukewarm water, swish, roll in a clean white towel to remove excess water. Never wring or twist. Dry flat after reshaping.

Oxyclean is a miracle for brightening and stain removal. For less delicate items, use the gentlest setting your washer offers, cold water, mild detergent, and hang dry or dry flat. Wet fibers are weak, and hanging can cause it to stretch out of shape, or even to tear under its own weight. Synthetics, such as nylon and polyester are especially sensitive to heat. Pretend they're plastic. To prevent wrinkles, hang immediately. Too late? Steam, or place in a warm (not hot) dryer with a damp washcloth and tumble for 10-15 min.

Who I'd like to meet:
People with cool clothing addictions that want to trade their stuff. Burners. Former showgirls. Men who haven't thrown out a suit since 1951. Drag Queens. Rock stars. Estate sale haunters.

These Rad Items Fresh In: Men's western shirts. Hats and glasses are on order.

We are in Need of: Fall and Winter Wear. Ladies sizes 12 and larger. Belt buckles. Men's wear. Dresses. Costumes and Burn Wear. Vintage! boots and shoes.

Thank you for adding The Gentleman Photographer to your friends and contact list!!! Did you know that other photographers have started rumors and lies about The Gentleman Photographer because they're worried about my success??? Seriously! Could a higher compliment be paid aside from having my work blatantly copied???

Check out what all their fuss and frustration is about!!! Commission The Gentleman Photographer for your special get-together, event, or just for giggles!!! Or keep an eye out for my casting calls for original projects that WON'T cost you a dime to participate in!!! You might even get published!!!

I just found out yesterday and I'm am truly sad:( I've been shopping at rad Bettys since my career as a hairdresser began when it was on 1st street. Reno is going to be sorry losing it's first cool vintage clothing store. She has paved the way for others to grow their businesses and supported the gay community like she is one of our own. It Is bittersweet and extremely heartbreaking knowing that the doors are closing for good. I would hope eveyone will pull out their pocketbooks buy some clothes and let shelly go out with a bang!!! A Salon 7 loves Rad Bettys and always will.
