**NOTE: Due to the holidays and the webmaster’s imminent move to SoCal this weekend, the Lucky 7 will return next week.**
Putrid Playthings is one of those sites where the stock seems chosen from the merchant’s whim: Halloween silliness abounds in spooky clackers, Munsters figurines, “water worms,” and other miscellaneous skulls and spiders. The couple who runs this site are currently looking for a bigger apartment – and yes, that means there’s a larger catalog on the way – but there’s a real treasure on the Current Items page: Lovecraftian button sets! Yes, fans of the giant squid who have had a hard time locating tentacled imagery will delight in these nine 1″ pins – also available separately – bearing the face of good ‘ol H.P., the Elder seal, and cute sayings like “Jesus saves, Allah protects, Cthulhu thinks you would make a yummy snack.”
Better speak up if you want them – availability is VERY limited.
A little shop of fairewear featuring clothing made from natural fibers and designed for comfort, medieval separates for men and women.
A very good selection of fetish footwear – their line of ballet shoes is extensive, with mule, maryjane, and slingback styles providing an easier slipoff along with the classic lockable can-can, pony players will adore the wedge heels outfitted with “horsehoes” on the soles, and extreme platform enthusiasts might meet their match in the Queen line of towering boots.
An eclectic catalog of London clubwear and accessories that has everybody covered – classic ‘77 bondage straps, metallic cyber jackets, hoodies imprinted with tribal scrawls and black metal imagery, UV stuff from Prohibition, PVC minidresses, brocade bodices, lots of good stuff.
From the woman who brought you 
One-of-a-kind silver jewelry, some of which is cast from the scales of dead fish, perfectly suited to high-end Cthulhuan adornments. These have got to be some of the most elegant tentacles we’ve ever seen! Delicate pendants, rings, and amulets, with a little pagan imagery sprinkled in, highly original and lovely for goth or cyber ensembles. Commissions are welcome.
