Rumors saying as much have been swirling around this very blog (as well as Spec) for a month or so, but Bwog just spoke with a clerk at Kim’s who confirmed the terrible news: When Kim’s closes, a Ricky’s Cosmetics will open in its place.
You might be familiar with the products of Ricky’s if you recall the trashiest Halloween party you’ve ever been to. For come October, Ricky’s boasts an impressive collection of costumes you will later regret having worn.

@honestly though I’m not defending ricky’s however WHY are people complaining about making this neighborhood more like the one around NYU? Their digs are so much better than ours. morningside is hella lame, people. Don’t fear change.
@AAAAAHHHH NO NO NO NO FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT PISS FUCK GODDAMN FUCK-ASS NUTS-KICKING HORSESHIT SHITASSERY
@So what? Ricky’s is a beauty supply more than anything, with an extensive salon-brand hair care section. Be thankful that many girls don’t have to ship downtown just to not be mistaken for subway rats in the morning.
@NOOOOOOOO WHY??????? WHY?????? WHY?????
@msh=blighted bwog: is this a seasonal thing? how will a FUCKING costume store stay in business all year?
@And A BIG FUCKING costume store, at that. Kim’s isn’t a small space, and how many different kinds of fluorescent wigs can you really put in one place, anyway
@ugh plz no rampant epidemics of students going to class dressed as pirate hookers or sexy refs.
and PLEASE for the love of god no clowns.
@fuckkkkk just looking at those stores gives me a headache.
@drag queen great news. now i don’t have to leave the neighborhood if i run out of sparkly eyelashes.
@yeah I love movies. Love them. But not as much as I love boobs.
@O6 Grad This is brill. Kim’s was great. But a store encouraging undergraduate female sluttiness- how can one go wrong with that?
@this is the worst news ever.
@???? what the fuck. just what we all want
@Urgh this isn’t NYU….
@seriously first pourhouse? now ricky’s? aaah! stop trying to turn the Columbia neighborhood into NYU!
@columbia could do something useful and declare the area blighted, then take over – but nooooooooooooooooooo
@... god fucking dammit. they could have at least replaced it with something useful.
@... yes. like an arcade. that has beer. and lots of pinball machines.
@For Real Oh man, I’d totally go for that. No pinball around here :(
