Manic Panic (brand)

Sisters Tish and Snooky Bellomo opened the Manic Panic flagship boutique on July 7, 1977, at 33 St. Marks Place, in New York City’s East Village.

(The NYC store's front and signage were featured prominently in a shot in the opening montage of Saturday Night Live's 1980-81 season).

[2] Manic Panic is women-owned and independently operated by Tish and Snooky Bellomo, who have been referred to as "The Martha Stewarts of Punk Rock".

Manic Panic has been mentioned in many documentaries, crediting them for beginning what would become a trend and now the acceptance of men and women wearing "fashion" hair colors.

[14] They also continue to perform with the Sic F*cks, reuniting for special occasions like tributes to CBGB, Joey Ramone benefits, and various animal charity events.
