Holy Priscilla Queen of the Dessert Folks!
Let me be very clear, this is a boutique of women's clothing but for men. It is just brimming with every tranny's clothing, makeup and accessory desire. There are the best strapping long boots in an assortment of designs and colours with I swear 5 inch heels (look at my photos). There is also some great shit kicking heels that with make you tower over everyone when you go out and flaunt what you got. And keep in mind they will have the bigger sizes so you won't be disappointed.
An assortment of great wigs, long and short in every colour line one wall of the store, and they have a great little area for the bangles and bling that will just make your outfit sing.
Another impressive thing amongst many here at DevaDave is that they carry Ben Nye makeup which is high quality entertainment makeup which does not irritate your skin and is super hypoallergenic. So you go girl and lip sync your heart out to that Kylie Minogue song.
Dave the owner was upstairs in his beauty salon working which is on the second floor level of this location so basically he came down greeted me with a hug and told me to make myself at home and went sauntering back up the stairs.
I love this shop and they also have a great assortment of rainbow propaganda to wave it "proud" girls and boys. -

I live really close to Edmonton Trail and often it seems like a shame to drive so I'll walk to the Video Store or a Restaurant or what-have-you. I really like it, and it gives me an opportunity to explore places I might not otherwise get the chance to explore.
Walking by Diva Dave's, the first thing I noticed were the sheer amount of shiny stripper shoes in all shapes, sizes and colours. I LOVE stripper shoes, so I could not resist and I went in. I lack powers of observation, so I spent a full five minutes under the impression that it was your run of the mill, a little sumthin sumthin for everyone dress up and erotic shop. I kept wondering why everything was not only not my size, but well, a lot bigger. Even the aforementioned stripper shoes seemed to outsize me. Guys, I'm hoping you clue in a lot faster. It's called Deva Dave's for a reason. But even though I'm a little disappointed that the sparkly platforms are meant for men, I think its awesome.
The lovely lady who was minding the store was totally nice and explained everything. I am pretty sure she thought I got it until she saw the understanding literally DAWN on my face. That aside, I managed a fairly thorough exploration. The salon is upstairs and I was informed Dave works wonders on hair.
But the stuff downstairs: hairdye and fishnets and wigs and shoes and corsets and women's clothing and makeup, all for men. Actually, you know there was a decent amount of stuff that is great for the ladies and the guys, but whatever: I have a special fondness in my heart for drag queens, and so it was great to see a store that caters to a population that probably finds it difficult to find nice stuff that fits. At the very least, they have nice stuff.
The lady was actually the owner of Gibson's designs which are also sold out of the boutique. They are beautiful, and she is totally willing to make custom corsets, and her ready-to-buy designs were beautiful. Again with the goes both ways - awesome. It is definitely worth a visit.Comment from dave r. of DevaDave Salon and Boutique 3/16/2010

I didn't even bring in a picture of any haircut ideas and Dave gave me exactly what I wanted - like he's psychic or something. Having to walk through the shoe and rainbow section to get to the salon upstairs is kinda evil because I now know where my next paycheque may end up!

I just realized this store is mostly for men who love women's clothes, but this boutique has some unique hats and cool accessories, suitable for everyone. I must say, I was highly entertained by the staff, which entices me to go back.
