Okay, I didn’t actually forget, I’m just over it. In fact, everyone’s blogs have become little pinched out linkloaves of Valentine’s Day URL floatiness — despite my attitude, faves of mine include Xeni’s Omakase linkdump: Valentine’s Day and Viviane’s exhaustive Valentine’s Day links.
I feel like being the the anti-Valentine this year. Which is weird because I actually have a hot date tonight — indeed I did not have one last year, so I should be less snarky, right? Wrong! I’m so sick to death of sex retailers pushing their gift guides, which are always the same old toys and ideas just repackaged. I just couldn’t do a gift guide — and last holiday season I felt the same way and instead did this guide to giving erotic gifts, which may have some good ideas for you. But me — I’m a dark and broody Valentine today. I’m going to go get my stripey socks, and rent a scary movie, harumph.
Soooooo, wups Valentine’s Day indeed. Gothic Valentines & Broken Hearts is way more my speed (don’t miss her iServe collection). Even closer to my black little heart this year are the items to be found on Pushin’ Daisies: A Mortuary Novelty Shop, where you can actually give her your (gummy) heart to gnaw on when she wants to do a hot zombie fetish scene.
Did you forget? Send a cheesy but cute-as-a-cemetery Gothic Greetings Valentine ecard, as befits the Hallmarkiness (Hallsnark Card, anyone?) of the day. Even better — join me in my crankiness and send them an Anti-Valentine ecard (their server is up and down, tho). Of course, there’s always the Zombie Pinups gallery — and you can send a Zombie Pinup to the pale, shy boy of your dreams with the Sinister Circuit: Sinister Greeting ecards.
