We decided to drive down to Wacko / Soap Plant, a cool store that I was turned onto by the guy that did my first tattoo.

Wacko / Soap Plant is located at 4633 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, California, (323) 663-0122. They moved into the Hollywood Blvd. location in 2000.

We shopped for a while – the store sells an eclectic collection of art, toy and non-sexual fetish objects. In addition there’s an art gallery in the rear that has rotating shows. If you want Rat Fink model kits, odd motorized critters or a book on van Eyck (the painter), then this is the place for you.

We bought three books and a few chachkas, including a plastic Japanese Buddha.
