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.)

Hunt Report: Tainted Love 2

(click to enlarge)

It's strange to be suddenly be a father to someone I have never met. I don't think I can argue paternity since Vonie has a striking, albiet more human, resemblance to me. He insists he is not a vampire and does not "crave blood or anything." But I am skeptical. His shirt brazenly declares, "I only date vampires." I am beginning to see the problem with his love life. He has questionable taste. In fact, he could be in the beginning stages of "The Change." It's time to lay down the rules before something terrible happens.

Dating Rule 1: Do not date blood suckers.
