Cool* clothes for fat girls…read more Let's expand on that slogan (which isn't their official slogan, because god forbid we actually use the word fat as a descriptive word instead of an insult). The design of some of the clothes is okay, but I'm going to issue a blanket generalisation and say it's all overpriced and poorly made (so wait for sales, 50% isn't uncommon). Their official slogan is "Be styled in sizes 14+", but they should tell the whole truth and call it "Be styled in sizes 14-22 in store and 14-24 online because we pulled XXL from our retail shelves and then put it back in the online store as a compromise when so many people got up in arms about it". Positive: CC don't use that horrid lycra fabric (essentially swimwear fabric) that some plus size brands love (I'm looking at you, Leona Edmiston Plus Size Collection). They use a lot of cotton elastane, poly/viscose elastane, bit of straight polyester - straight poly's fairly horrid but I don't mind anything with the poly viscose elastane tag. Still, the decent items of clothing can often be few and far between. Prices are always preposterous, as CC has a monopoly on the "cool clothes for fat girls" market. They make a killing on shrugs and cardigans because they also sell a lot of sleeveless dresses, and a lot of women hate their upper arms. Too many items on CC's shelves are covered in tacky, ugly sequins and beads. Others are t-shirts with horrendous "Little Miss" prints on them, or Betty Boop prints, or "vintage pin-up" prints (and for lols, the vintage girls in the prints are all slim). To end with another positive: CC usually has at least a couple of items that are on-trend with seasonal fashion, or at least not-far-behind-trend. It's nice to have the opportunity to try their clothes on in retail stores, as a lot of other decent plus-size clothing is only available from international online stores. And if you purchase something online, you can return it to any of CC's retail stores for your refund. It's just a pity that the closest retail stores to the city are here at Chermside, out to Garden City, or Mt Ommaney. I've never even been to Mt Ommaney. Where is that? The girls who work in the retail stores are always really lovely and helpful, so this review should bear no brunt on them. Yet for all the good I associate with CC, there's still more bad, and that's why my friends and I continue to refer to the brand as Sh*tty Chic. Of course, I'll still buy their clothes, because I don't really have a lot of choice at this size. *loose term. Read the rest of the review. EDIT: HAHAHA NOT LONG AFTER I POSTED THIS A BUTTON CASUALLY DROPPED OFF A CC JACKET I AM CURRENTLY WEARING. A+++++

Cheyenne really knew her stuff and made our experience pleasurable. We chose the second dress my Daughter tried on as it was absolutely stunning.I still cant believe my Daughter and I agreed on a dress so quickly (we were in and out in 30 minutes). Also, as an added bonus, the prices were extremely reasonable. Thank you Cheyenne. Ann & Genna

Gametraders is one of my favourite stores at Chermside, as they often get in retro video game…read moreconsoles such as the Nintendo 64, the Gamecube, the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. They also have a large selection of video games for older consoles. You should definitely avoid Gametraders if you have an addiction for Pop! Vinyl Figures, as they sell hundreds of them, in addition to merchandise for franchises including Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Doctor Who and Star Wars. They also have a large selection of board games and card games, many of which you would not find at most toy and department stores. Gametraders also sells comic books, anime DVDs / Blu-ray's, a small selection of clothing and various video game / TV show props, which would be perfect for cosplay. You will often be able to find items that Gametraders are selling for less online, though they offer convenience and a unique retail experience, which EB Games is finally catching on to, with the launch of their new Zing Pop Culture stores.

Video games are expensive - and don't really have anything to do with videos anymore now I think…read moreabout it. Gamestraders has a very clever model based around letting you trade in your old games to help offset of that brand new $100 game YOU HAVE TO HAVE RIGHT NOW. Other game stores do this too, but Gamestraders seems to be a bit more generous with their refund. Don't get me wrong, they then turn around and sell your traded in game for heaps more than they paid you, and it's pure profit (they only have to pay the manufacturer for new games so selling second hand games is heaps more lucrative than selling new). There's a decent range, and parents and partners can feel slightly better about watching their loved one trade in that game that cost a fortune just a week ago (trust me, you never really go back and play a game once you've finished it).
