A – Blacklist

The Blacklist Fashion Freak has a penchant for the dramatic sartorial flourish, particularly with a dark edge. They love black and deep blood-like colors, especially in old-school fabrics like brocade, velvet, antique lace. Virtually anything in the Blacklist division would be ideal, but the actual Blacklist group is the best choice. Great basics and extravagant accents make this the go-to group for any gothic wardrobe.
B – Classic Lippy
Whether it’s punk, old-school rock, or metal, Rock-n-Roll represents the first roots of Lip Service and is still at the heart of Lippy fashion. Do they lean toward the punk side? Check out the tasty treats in Punk and Disorderly and hot basic (and not-so-basic) jeans in the Rock n Roll Jeans Hardcore.
Old school and glammy hair bands more their speed? Look to the Lippy über-classics, like the Dagger-emblazoned 25 Years (now 10% off, too, SAVINGS WIN!), the more daringly fashion-forward Rock n Roll Jeans Street and the newest rocking styles for her in Batz N Bones.
Is their rocking self a bit darker, more intense? Try our Rock n Roll Jeans Classics and, for him, the brand new Dead-Nation jackets and shirts.
C – Military and Fetish

So they’re all about the clean line and put-together look of military gear? A bit more challenging in their fashion, with a touch of hardcore fetish? Check out our fantasy military group, Das Bunker, or the clean-lined Fallout (now 50% off or more … sweeeet!), and, for him check out the badass Dead-Nation with all that awesome hardware and straps!
D – It’s a girl thing … Burlesque, frills, and lace

She’s all about being a girl, lots of frills, bows, and femimne touches, but she’s also got a distinctly naughty side, which you REALLY dig. Give that naughty side something delicious to wear from the brand new Nocturnal Rendezvous or Lolita Candy (now ON SALE!) or, if their girliness has a darker side, try the slinkily vinyl Black Diamond Dynasty. Or maybe just go for the gusto and pick her up a super-sexy ensemble from our hot leopard lingerie, Cat’s Meow.
E – Cyber Sexy

They’re not just fashion forward, but fashion WAY forward? Giger and Gibson make their heart go pitter-pat? We’ve got a lot of great sexy cyber looks, from fetishy to cyberpunk. Check out the futuristic looks of Cyber Sniper or Dead-Nation, the fetishy futurism of Desensitized (on sale!), or the colorfully club-friendly Circuit City (on Sale!) Or, you can go full-tilt cyber fetsish sexy with the Giger-inspired fishnet slice of awesome that is Erotomechanics (now 10% OFF!).
F – Shiny, shiny sexy

So they like a little taste of the fetish, but just a hint. They like to let their freak flag fly at chic clubs with slinky, shiny, sexy gear and whimisical dress-up looks. Mmmm yeah, we dig that, too, and have lots of killer looks to cross the lines between fashion, fetish, and funky in style. Check out the eclectic groove of our Patent Vinyl collection, the naughty fun of Looks That Kill, club-friendly monster fur and vinyl of Burning Fur You, and straps and only straps of Caged.

They’re all about the fashion flashback? She’ll adore the slinky, tulle-fluffed, and polka-dotted pin-up looks of Pin Me Up. He’ll dig the retro gearhead classics of the Service collection: badass tees with killer graphics, work shirts, jackets, hoodies, and straight-leg Greaser fit jeans.
H – Steampunk and Steam Pirate Flashbacks to a Future Past

Their Victorian era is filled with speculative visions of gears, steam, and airship pirates? We have just the thing for their sartorial pleasure. Try looks from Step In Time for the height of steam fashion, from the casual to dress pieces and brass-decked accessories. They lean more toward a more nefarious character?
