If Huell and Luis were driving around Salina KS taking a quick tour of the town, and they spotted a store selling gothic and fetish clothing, would they go in and feature it on the hypothetical Kansas Gold show? I think not.
What exactly is a gothic and fetish clothing store doing in the middle of Kansas anyway? I don't know, but apparently it's currently the only one in Kansas. It's called The Other Side, and it's located at 1056 East Pacific (corner of Pacific & Ohio). Pictured above, from left, are John, the proprietor of the store, together with two other visitors, "Magdalena," and Jim Penquite.
Magdalena is based in White City KS and makes holographic displays, such as the one on the table which is not visible because of the lighting.
Jim Penquite makes ornamental birdhouses and other yard art. I shot the photo above at Celestial Ironworks in Lawrence KS, and I believe that's one of his pieces. He can be contacted through them and his items can be bought through geezer.com. Here's an interview with him.
UPDATE: The previous address given was just the mailing address. As pointed out in the comments, the address above is the actual location.

My name is Jenna Penquite. That guy that builds the weird birdhouses is my father, James Penquite (or Jim or The Byrdman.) The lady with him is his friend, Roxanne. Just thought it was pretty neat you got to meet him. I am proud to see him on an internet website. Thank you so much!
