Should Castle be considered Anchorages "oldest and greatest?" I think so lol…read more There's something for everyone here. Definitely a wide selection of items for sale, but the place is organized and well labeled. All staff encountered were very professional and discreet while also being warm and welcoming lol All prices seemed on trend. The popular honey packs are kept behind the counter FYI.

Great staff, super friendly, and super professional…read more Space is clean and you feel safe. Not at all what I was expecting, honestly. The selection is smart: it's mostly filled with stuff that is NOT videos (although they have those too): clothes, toys, lubes, gag gifts, etc. Staff are also a mix men and women, so I imagine it's pretty female-friendly.

Super duper over priced... like big time. Items they sell are available online for a as much as…read morehalf the price. But if you're like me and you like to be hands on before you make a purchase, then this is an ok place to scope out. I recently got some lingerie there that was more than half off, which was a steal. yay. full price would have been a rip. But I also got a toy, which was 30 bucks overpriced, so boo... but, it was, ahem... worth it. That's all i'm gonna say about that. They also redid the store about a year ago and it's much better organized and there's a lot more merch. They have a headshop section with "smoke" stuff downstairs. Some interesting things if you're into that. They had silicone bongs which I've never seen before. I don't know anything about that stuff, but it was kinda neat. They also have some funny weed related novelty items that would make nice gifts for the pothead in your life.... They made the clothing section downstairs smaller, which was a smart move. They've gotten more choosy with what they stock. Mostly all stuff for skinny bitches though. Boo. Upstairs, all the sex stuff. Again, mostly for skinny bitches, lots of gear for exotic dancers like wigs and costumes. Way less shoes than they used to have. Cindy's is still a better bet for people who are in the business of turning people on for a living. They have a very limited selection of costumes for men. Boo. Same for chubby chicks. But I found 4 things that I liked and fit, so yay, not a total loss. They have a variety of novelty items for pre-wedding festivities like penis straws and ice cube trays. There's a limited selection of sex toys... mostly just vibrators and cock rings. Some of their vibrators are the higher quality silicone stuff though. If you're into really hardcore fetish stuff, you're out of luck. The only place in town that has that stuff is Castle, and even their selection is limited (and no, I'm not into fetish stuff... but I figured some people might wanna know, so I'm including this in my review for their benefit.) So if you're looking for any kind of S&M, swings, clamps, pony play, double ended toys, etc, your best bet is online. They do have a few things, but it's novelty quality and not what a person with serious fetishes would invest in. But if you're the kind of person that has a light interest in toy play, then the Look is adequate.

I have to admit a feeling of shock when we walked in. I read previous negative reviews and wasn't…read moreexpecting much. I was pleasantly surprised to find a fabulous selection on hand. It says something that my uncle, daughter and grand daughter all walked out with new clothes. I even found a couple of sweatshirts to bum around in. Do the math and that's four generations served by one store. My uncle's new wife won't let me use her name in the review and got mad and yelled at me about it. So, let's call her Mandice. Not because she has massively huge man-feet, but it's just a random name. Right? Point is, that there were shoes that fit those gunboats...and looked great, to boot (see what I did there). She left with a pair of heels, a running shoe and slippers. NR has a new shoe customer, thanks to me (even though she'll never admit it was me). I love the fact that they keep the place clean and orderly. There's a wide variety. The people are very nice to us, but, they do have to pick up the pace at the check out. We went back a second time and it was no better. Still it's a great find for us. 08/23

Oh the days of being obsessed with Victorias Secret scent: "Love Spell."…read more These days I visit Victorias Secret for the needs of my teen. She hates Love Spell btw....as if! VS has a great selection of clothing and undergarments but the scent section is where we hang out. Customer service could definitely improve, but we were helped efficiently enough.

This is a really nice Victoria's Secret. Relative to many of the locations in the lower 48, it's…read morereally, really good. The layout of the store is really nice, the product offerings are better and the displays are on point. I dont know if that's because our winters are longer and they figure we want to heat things up... not sure. So my only complaint is my universal complaint about VS, they dont sell anything for the top heavy ladies like me. So if you're bigger than a DD, you cant buy bras or lingerie her. But they do have some panties, slips, sleepwear and whatnot that will fit bigger ladies depending on the cut and fabric. You basically just have to understand your body type to know what to look for. And since this particular store has a huge selection, I give them high marks because chances are I will find something that fits.

With super affordable online retailers like FashionNova and Shein it's a miracle Torrid is still…read moresurviving. They keep a clean, bright, and trendy space in the Dimond Mall. Their clothes, shoes, and accessories are definitely made with quality materials. They have the biggest selection of women's plus-size clothing here in Anchorage, but still not a wide enough selection for me. I always found it weird that Torrids bra sizes aren't very plus at all. DDD is the largest cup size they carry. Although they do carry band sizes up to 50. Torrid is nice, when on rare occasion, I run out of time to place an online order and need to run to the mall to find something really fast.

I have a love/hate relationship with Torrid. I appreciate that they make cute, fashionable clothing…read morein larger sizes, but holy cow are they overpriced. I don't buy anything from here unless I have a coupon and/or there's a sale. This particular Torrid store is nothing noteworthy, but I have had some...interesting interactions with the staff over the years. The first time I went in there just for a strapless bra. The girl at the register asked me like three times if I wanted to sign up for their rewards program or credit card or whatever. I've worked in retail so I get that asking is part of your job, but as soon as a customer says "no", stop. Just stop. Fast forward a few years and I go to look for a bra again. Nordstrom is my store of choice for bra shopping since they have the widest selection and best quality, but of course the price tag reflects that. Apparently, despite being a plus-size store, the largest cup size they carry is DDD. I asked one if the employees if maybe they had my size since I couldn't find it. And you know what she does instead of helping me find the bra like she should have done? She looks at me in disbelief and says that's no way that's my bra size. REALLY? Why would I lie about my size when I'm shopping for clothing? Just to prove her wrong I had an employee do an amateur size measuring on me, which confirmed I was in fact the size I said I was. I felt vindicated after that and decided to leave without buying anything. So now the only reason I go to this Torrid is if I place an online order since you get free shipping if you have your order shipped to a store for pickup. Here's a tip Torrid: don't accuse your customers of lying about their size and just don't harass them in general. You should be lucky you've gotten any money from me at all after that BS.

This is a good destination for well endowed women to get help with bras. They also have a nice assortment of baby clothes and hats and cute boutique-y stuff like that. They don't carry furniture or car seats or that kind of stuff, but they do have a lot of nice thoughtful baby gift items. The Clinic part of the Boutique is a great community resource because they offer lactation education and counseling and post-partum depression counseling as well. I wish this type of service had been available to me where I used to live, because I may hnursing. I know a number of struggling breastfeeding mothers who initially had a hard time nursing and were ready to quit who ended up being very successful with breastfeeding after they got help from the lactation counselor.

While there u thought I'd check out the housewares and look for new sheets for my guest room. What I didn't like: they're missing tons of prices on the Alaskan goods. They also have a very small selection compared to other Walmarts nearby. If you're looking for Alaska souvenirs this isn't the best Walmart to go to. They also have a huge amount of things behind glass that you need an attendant for. Every other aisle it feels like needs an attendant. What I do like is one: the people who work here are so friendly, work hard, keep the store clean and are eager to help (mostly) I also think that this location has a nice produce selection, and foods that cater to a different demographic of shoppers. They have a wide variety of things like home decor that I don't feel like all the other stores have. This one I see cuter home decor at and they have the little couch, and bed and dining table staged areas so you can conceptualize ideas for new products. I like the setups of the aisles, and it feels very modern with good selections of trendy clothes. So with this location there's good and bad. I come here only when it's convenient but it is still a nice Walmart inside.

The prices tend to vary based on what you're buying, but to me seem very fair. Overall I would definitely recommend stopping by, you'll probably find something you didn't know you needed!
