Tainted Love

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Once upon a time, he was a famous rock star, ...an icon to some, a scourge to others. Romancing the shadowy side of life led to great success, but with it came great risk. One careless night with a "tainted" fan was all it took to forever change his life. When he regained consciousness, he was imprisoned in the city of Cursed. His death reported in the news. And just that quickly, his glory was over. Rather than despair, he opened a small creepy carnival for other permanent members of the Night Clan.

No Salvation's inspiration for the Style Icon fair is Marilyn Manson! When I saw their cool promo picture, I was like... Oooooooo! That's badass! Manson totally deserves Style Icon status. You can pick up the Mason inspired hat, jacket, and pants at the main store for No Salvation.  The set and props in this scene are all from the Tainted Love hunt for only 1L. I dearly loved this hunt last year. I've been so crazy busy this year, I'm glad I was able to scoop a few before it ends tomorrow. The stove by Elegant Goth has a heart cooking and it makes boiling sounds. The Biting booth by Redrum is too fun. (Pecks 50L, Kisses 100L, French Kiss 200L, Bites are free, and Hugs? no!) It comes with a 2nd gift too, pencils in the eye. The chair and table are by the Stone Misery. It comes with single and couple poses.

No goth should be without a Vampire Slayer's Kit, you know just in case you have a run-in with a "tainted" fan. lol  In RL, you can spend a lot of money on an authentic (aka fake) Victorian Vampire Slayers kit. But this one by 11th Hour and Cheeky Peas will only cost you 10L a spin. Fantasy Gacha ends tomorrow, so run over there if you haven't already! The entire set includes:  Vampire Slayer Suitcase (RARE), Candles, Old Century Stake, Slayer Scrolls, Old Bible, Garlic, Holy Earth, Holy Water, Slayer Cross, and Sage. The table I got on great deal along with a chaise lounge from Angelic Designs from 60 Linden Weekend. (Yes, it has bite animations of course.)

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.
