"This spot, which looks like the quintessential * lingerie shop, also carries more substantial clothing from the likes of Ghost and Cynthia Rowley. At Halloween time, they beef up their selection with maid outfits, rubberwear, leopard cat suits, silver bunny outfits, Red Riding hoods, harem-girl wear, and a Santa's Helper getup that, truly, is to die for."

-Prince and his wife, Mayte, stopped by the Religious Sex clothing store on St Marks Place Monday. In an hour long shopping spree, they snapped up several long velvet dresses, and a red satin "bullet bra mandarin outfit". Other Celebs who've picked up vestments at Religious Sex are: Jenny McCarthy, Lisa Marie Presley, Slash, Joan Jet, and Alice Cooper---NY Daily News

"On Saint Marks Place, hot and dirty in more ways than one, is Religious Sex, which carries upscale rock wear, from neon lingere to beautiful, very gothic dresses from Jane Booke, Eva Delgrande, and London's Ghost."

"Scary shadow of St.Marks on west 8th St: Here there are body piercing emporia, club kid and drag queen versions of Merry go Round and the Gap, each a pale imitation of the true pioneers on St Marks: Religious Sex, Sounds, even Bowl and Board."

"Like a prayer: There are few shops where fetishists and renaissance fair followers can rub shoulders."

"It's weird but welcome to see all these uptown labels on St. Mark's Place: Tracy Feith, Ghost, Helen Storey. In addition, there's sparkly underwear to put stars in your boyfriend's eyes by lingerie wunderkind Deborah Marquit, and new talent like Scott and his ultra-constructed jackets-in sync with the big fashion kids up on Seventh Avenue."

"If you want something that's stylish yet totally outrageous, this is definitely the place."
