Best Etsy Shop

The Olivia Frankenstein Etsy shop, owned and operated by East Nashvillians Crystal Chan and Marc Vargas, is filled with creepy and cute pop-culture-referencing treasures. One T-shirt shows Mickey Mouse smiling despite a dagger sticking out of his bloody head. On another, inspired by vintage Japanese film posters, Godzilla spits fire upon the Nashville skyline. There are shirts, patches and stickers with a skeletal hand creeping out of a coffin that reads “Get in, Loser,” à la Mean Girls; soaps shaped like Frankenstein’s Monster and the Creature From the Black Lagoon; and glittery enamel pins celebrating a love of true crime. If you’re worried that New Nashville is getting too normal, be thankful Olivia Frankenstein is doing its part to keep things weird. MEGAN SELING
