Hunt Report: Tainted Love 1

(click to enlarge)

Valentine's Day is coming. It's a time of year that inspires groans and depression. It's so rotten it's ripe for a Gothic revision. Forget cupid, this year I will dress up as a demon. Since no one is really scared of me, I will wear a shirt that gives a dire warning, "I will cuddle you so hard." lol

The Tainted Love Hunt has 79 stores of valentines-gone-wrong. Most stores have a picture of the hunt prize displayed at the landing. For more information and store links go to Tainted Love Hunt. Hunt ends February 28th.

The lantern swung on my tail in time with the music as I listened to the infamous Hungarian suicide song, "Gloomy Sunday." I was gleefully busy plotting my Valentine's Day "Hug Monster" mischief when I heard a knock on the door that changed everything.

This is Vonie, the next generation of the Vaughns. He showed up on my doorstep and announced he was my long lost son. Before I could ask questions, he pointed to his blood stained tuxedo and asked for my help. Judging by the black rose bouquet with the notecard reading "I hate you," I tend to agree. I listened to his tale of woe in stunned silence. I dont know what he is doing on these "dates" of his, but the fool keeps going out there, day after day looking for love. Will he find a date that won't try to kill him in time for Valentine's Day? Who knows. I decided to give him some advice.

Frost Fair RMK Gothic

As the planet warms slowly year after year, Jack Frost is under a lot of pressure. When asked to stretch his icy claw and freeze the Thames once more, he agrees in an unusually warm gesture of goodwill. What could cause this sudden Christmas spirit in his frigid heart?

RMK Gothic celebrates the holiday season by bringing back a piece of history. During the Little Ice Age of the 17th century and 18th century, the Thames River froze in the heart of London. People took advantage of this usual event and created a shopping festival on the river called the Frost Fair. At the RMK Gothic Frost Fair, you can buy many new and limited edition products as well as score some nice freebies. Participating Stores are:
