I have to agree with Ven on that one.  I had a blast shopping at Mr S when I was in San Fran for the Folsom street fair a couple of months back.  I came home with a new whip that I just had to have.  If you're talking about attire, there was a great shop just down the street from there where I purchased a new leather skirt.  My corsets I only by from Ms Martha's Corset Shoppe.  She has a profile here, but is in the Atlanta area.

One quick piece of advice.  One mistake that people tend to make when they are new is to go out and spend a fortune on toys and outfits.  These things can run you a lot of money, so it really is better to go slow.  My toy collection is pretty big, but you have to remember that I've spent a number of years putting it together.  (Merc is the only one brave enough to call Me a toy whore.)  The same goes for My waredrobe.  You really don't need that much when just starting out, especially if you're still learning to use the toys you buy.
