The Little Lingerie Store In Amarillo, Texas Hidden Off Of I-40

I was recently told about a lingerie store in Amarillo that is just off I-40, and what made it a topic of conversation was the signage and what might be the name of the store...or its slogan. No one is really sure at the moment. What was surprising was what happened when I stepped out of the vehicle in the parking lot and made my way inside.

There Is A Lingerie Boutique In Amarillo, Texas Off I-40

Try as I might, I'll never understand why this place keeps its light under a bushel...so to speak. The most visible part of the sign says "Indian Trading" which I guess is missing the "Post" part. Under that is a marquee that says "Shopping Delite, Lingerie And, Costume" which is the strangest haiku I've heard since moving to Amarillo.

The parking lot was pretty much empty when I pulled up. The exterior of the building was faded from taking a beating from the Texas panhandle sun. Additional signage, which was faded, declared, "Lingerie Says Yes!!!" which, in the age of consent, is reassuring.

There were several cameras around the building, and signs were posted about loitering and camping out in the parking lot. They want you to get your lace undies and get moving.

Inside The Indian Trading Lingerie Says Yes Store In Amarillo

I tried the door to go inside and heads up, you'll need to give it a good tug. There's a magnetic lock on it and you need to use some muscle to get it open. Once inside, I was a little shocked by what I found. It was a nice, clean store filled with lingerie. There was even a section of shoes that would make Dr. Frank N. Furter jealous.

I asked, and apparently, they've been open for about three years. I had no clue. This wasn't your usual "adult fun" store. It was shockingly enough exactly what the signs outside promoted...lingerie. Sure they had a small section with incense and some personal care items, but beyond that, it was just the outfits. If you want shoes or lingerie, I found a spot that might have what you're looking for. Just look for the Indian Trading Lingerie Says Yes!!! store in Amarillo.

Say You're From Amarillo Without Saying You're From Amarillo

Amarillo is a pretty quirky place. We've got the Big Texan, the weird signs, and (obviously) the famed Cadillac Ranch. But more than that, there's a distinct culture of close-knit community, eccentrics, a thriving arts scene, and much more.

The point is, living in Amarillo is a unique experience. Because of that, it's really pretty easy to tell who's a native or a long-time resident. And I can prove it.

Here's a couple of ways you can say you're from Amarillo.....without saying you're from Amarillo.
