The Art Theatre of Long Beach and Lil Devils Boutique teamed up in June to host “Love Among The Stars: Prom 1976”.

This ’70s themed shindig got revelers in the mood for the Art Theatre’s showing of the ultimate Prom nightmare: Stephen King’s classic movie, “Carrie”.

Lil Devils Boutique (2218 E. 4th; 562-439-0555), the “Retro Row” children’s specialty store featuring apparel, accessories, and gifts for the whole family, is celebrating its FIRST Anniversary! For its very first birthday, LDB is throwing a party (in conjunction with 4th Street’s “Last Saturdays” monthly soiree), and will be serving yummy treats (PBJ sandwiches), games (Pin the Tail on the lil devil), giveaways and party favors, plus a live DJ!

Plus, stop in for storewide savings of 10% on purchases of $50 or more—ALL DAY!

Opened in mid-August 2008 by Sarah Benton and Peter Toulios, Lil Devils Boutique encompasses a wide range of merchandise from “edgy,” vintage- and rocker-inspired clothing, to retro-style toys and books, as well as an assortment of hip gifts and accessories.

“It was nearly impossible to buy gifts for our friends’ babies,” said Benton. “Nothing we could find in retail stores suited our style. While I was able to buy hipper presents online, I found it hard to tell the quality by looking at a picture. That was the motivation for us to open Lil Devils.”

“We have had great success at finding handmade goods for the store—and many of our items are locally handmade,” adds Toulios, “Being in heart of ‘Retro Row’, where shoppers know to come to find unique items not found anywhere else locally, has proven to be the perfect location for Lil Devils. Our customers are always thrilled by the constantly-changing selection of cool kids’ duds, toys and more that we offer.”

Throughout the year, Benton and Toulios hosted an assortment of entertaining events from the Easter egg-stravaganza (with a larger-than-life bunny), to a pre-Mom’s Day in-store pampering (including free massages for all moms), to this past June’s Seventies Prom (in partnership with The Art Theatre’s showing of the Stephen King horror flick, “Carrie”). Guaranteed, there will be more wacky happenings to come in year two!

“It’s been a great to way to hang out with our customers,” said Toulios, “but also to provide some treats and tricks for both kids and parents alike. We’ve got a few fun tricks up our sleeves for this year, so stay tuned!”
