I've been a bit MIA lately -- wish it was because I was on a fabulous vacation but alas, mostly I've just been insanely busy. But, here's hoping June will be a little less hectic...and to start the summer off right, both Gabriel and Equilibrium have some cool stuff for you.
Gabriel swapped up the group gift to include a tribal tank in blue and black. Summer is the best time for tank tops and these graphics reflect that -- not a store logo, just a cool summertime sun emblazoned along one side.
That makes them perfect to be matched up with the usual generous gifts offered by Equilibrium -- this month there are three separate pairs of jeans and a fun Guitar Hero graphic Tee (in store gift -- look for the bag near the door.)
The pale blue jeans, with the dark shading are this month's Group Gift. For having the store in your profile picks, you can pick up these dark brown jeans, and the Midnight Mania offering are these open-waist blues (and fixed boxers - sorry those of you who like to go commando -grins-) complete with undone belt.
Over at Bellissima! you can snag this full outfit from their lucky board. The T shirt set (three versions, tucked and untucked ) are from the popular "Archer" animated series on FX --the outfit comes fully loaded: shirts, jeans, belt and boots. Even if you aren't a fan of the series, you can certainly be a fan for the generosity at Bellissima!
In the Free and Not Entirely Free category, I offer up the new monthly from F2H, which is one of my favorite places for nice looking , stylish looks that don't break the bank, Linden or otherwise. This red Racerback tank has a nice sheen, shadow and wrinkle texture, an unobtrusive logo and pride star at the chest.
I put it with this not free kilt from Sangre Noir (at the Shopatorium) which you should consider for a couple of reasons: First, its $200L which is an excellent price for a kilt of this quality. And what makes it quality, you ask - well, you can't see it in this static picture, but this kilt moves like it's made of cloth. It's a dark charcoal grey texture that looks like finely scraped leather and the triple wrap belt detail on it is amazing (take a look at the clasp sets). You actually get two versions of the kilt itself - one with a resize script and one without. Noirran Marx, the creative mind behind the Sangre Noir line, doesn't do men's clothing very often, but she's a kick ass designer and when she does something she does it well. (She also has a couple of turtlenecks available for men with equally nice detail and textures -- but since we're going for the summer theme here, I'll let you take a look at them for yourself.)

Tainted Love part two
I had to bandage some wounds and trade bloody clothes for cleaner -- not that it matters. Expect a lot of blood, and a not a few sharp implements on your hunt. But, you'll find plenty of ways to work out your frustrations.
#1 Yellow Jester is actually the driving force behind the hunt - and just to get you started, they offer you this homage to past loves with a keepsake of My First Boyfriend, his handsome head lovingly displayed in this collectible keepsake jar.
#6 Bellissima! offers you the cursed Kilt; glitch pants, kilts in black and red, handy belt with all your cursing needs and an arm guard with syringes in case you need to subdue your victim calm your lover before you curse them, and boots so you can kick them in case cursing isn't enough. You also get a pulsing heart in a jar -- I'm not telling you whose heart is in mine. The set also comes with 6 sets of suitably tainted eyes.
From #9 Rasetsukoku, you get skins. the male version is Dominus - My heart is yours. Which is a little messy, so it's a good thing that Forsaken gives you this strappy top to wear with it. The blood kind of soaks into the leather; you hardly even notice it.
Once you cut out your heart for your love with help from Rasetsukoku, #2 +DV8+ gives you the option of encasing it in a cybernetic chamber so you can continue to function. (I mean, this is a tainted love hunt, not a Zombie hunt -- you kind of need your heart to keep going. ) Pulsing, pumping heart, right out there for all to see, with color and glow options.
From #3 Mia Snow comes a set of 4 multi-layer tainted heart tattoos which actually make a pretty cool back drop for you heart on display.
If you want a little more of a display...#4 SMOTD give you this rather statement making display case, multiple poses, for showing off the Object of My Affection. You might need those syringes after all.
Once the object of your affection knows you mean business, #42 Frosting Ink and #56 Fiction & Chaos, make sure you keep that bittersweet taste of love in your mouth. Fiction & Chaos gives you Consume, a beaded rosary type necklace sure to satisfy your oral fixation...if you're fond of raw heart. It's kind of like sushi, I hear.
And in case your love doubts your affection, Frosting Ink, gives you another heart in your mouth treat with a bit of an edge, to remind you that Love Hurts. You've heard that promise about walking over glass for the one you love, well, swallowing razorblades just takes that oath of devotion up a notch. (It may notch your throat and intestines too...but all in the name of love. )
Sometimes love doesn't work out and #40 Lar's Workshop, offers Jack Was Here, a full body set of blood and scratches to how how mightily you struggled with love. Bloody but unbowed ... multiple layers and facial versions from scars to wounds, adjustable and very cool.
Then from #39 LNL, comes this handsome outfit, pants and shirt, and if all your bids to gain your love's attention have failed, they even offer a comforting hand on your shoulder to remind you that it will be okay.
If you still are having trouble either proving your love (or escaping from it), then #61 Oddment may offer you the ultimate in tainted love -- a full Voodoo Avatar complete with pins to make sure you can target your curses appropriately and a lovely little bleeding heart droplet tree...which can double as a vampire feeding station if you're not in the mood to host hungry visitors.
There's more, but I think I need a blood transfusion before I get back into the Love is a Battlefield Mode
