We love seeing photos of everyone in their Lip Service gear ... and we love Fridays! So we're doing a bit of a mash-up and making every Friday all about what Lip Service you're wearing.

So, shoot a pic, pop it up on TwitPics and share! Make sure you include @LipServiceCult and #fashionfreakfiday in your comment so we can all get a chance to see you! We'll retweet all our favorite photos, so get going and give us your fashionfreakfriday!

The fashion show at Bar Sinister was fantastic! The webmaster and I got to be on hand for the dress rehearsal earlier that day and I took the opportunity to shoot some behind-the-scenes photos. More photos and video of the show and killer set by Jetboy are coming soon!

To see the whole set of rehearsal photos, just go to the the Lip Service Webzine!

The Summer catalog is safely off to the printer (and will be uploaded in printable pdf format to the website shortly), with the new styles coming in soon. This, of course, means that the new Summer 2008 wallpapers are up and ready to download on the Lip Service blog. We've got a few stylegroup desktops, along with some of the kick-ass graphics from the new Screened Tee and Rockshow groups to make your computer that much hotter until the cool Fall styles arrive.

Download any or all of 7 desktop wallpapers on our Downloads & Goodies page.

Yep, it's a brand new photo contest and this time, no conditions, no bullshit, just hot photos of you in your Lippy gear! Send in your best photos in Lip Service and you may just be our July MySpace, LiveJournal, etc avatar, and a killer Summer 2008 wallpaper which will permanently be available to download on MySpace and the Lip Service blog.

Want to be the hot Lippy model on countless fashion freaks' computers? Check out the current contests page and get your photos to us before June 30.

We had ourselves a fetishy fabulous time at the Fetish Prom! If you didn't happen to be in Scottsdale for our catwalk last weekend, Jim has added video of our Rarities Runway show to the Lip Service site, backed up by a hot track by Psychlon>B.

To view the video, just go to a main division page, scroll down and click to play!

Thanks to all the hot volunteers who made the Lippy even hotter and also to Nnysangel, who posted some great shots of all the catwalk action online (including the runway shots shown here). You can check out some more photos of the Fetish Prom (and play "spot the Lippy") at Don't Stay In.

We got a lot of great photos this month, but none better than these shots by Muse of Mab and Suzie Q. Their best photos will be the group graphics for Deadbeat Daggers and Gangsta Pranksta on the main Lip Service site.

To check out all the winning photos, visit our Contest winners page.

Stay tuned ... the June contest will be announced soon!

We just couldn't leave well enough alone with the new photo contest. Being in the email is pretty cool, but we thought we could do even better and ... yeah baby ... we have!

THE WINNING PICTURE, INSTEAD OF BEING OUR AVATAR, WILL BE ONE OF THE GROUP ROLLOVER IMAGES ON OUR DIVISION PAGES FOR MAXIMUM EXPOSURE.

How's that for a kick-ass prize?

Check out the contest page for full details!

Yes, you read it right. Lip Service will be on hand at the Fetish Prom in Scottsdale, hosting a live fashion show (including hot, new Lip Service model Molly D'Amour) and auction as well as shooting lots and lots of pics of you showing your Lippy for a new Feature Gallery! So, if you're a big fetish fan like we are, want to see the only show VNV Nation will do in the States in 2008, or just want to get your sexy groove on with like-minded folks, why not join us in Scottsdale on May 24 for a funky, fetishy good time!

We'll see you there!

UPDATE!!!!
If you're a fan of rare Lip Service and want to get your hands on three one-of-a-kind styles, here's your chance! We'll have a Blacklist cotton sateen jacket, as well as a Gangsta Pranksta Da Boss minidress and vest in charcoal grey, a color which won't even be introduced until Spring '09! You will have the chance to not only be the first to have the color, but the ONLY person to ever have these styles in charcoal.

We've also run through the warehouse and found some of the very last pieces of some of our most popular styles, pieces we call soon-to-be-holy-grails, in a range of sizes and a few brand new colors of brand new styles and Lippy classics.

It should be a great night and a killer show you won't want to miss!

We've gotten so busy, I think I forgot to get all pimp-a-licious about Jim's latest video of the warehouse sale. If you didn't get to be there, it's a little composite of the weekend in all it's funky, fun Lippy glory set to a really great track by Jupiter Crash. Saturday was not only the big, first day of the sale but Drew's birthday too, so there's also the unique opportunity to see an amazing blood red leopard print birthday cake.

To check out the video, just go a division page, click on the Feature Video screen to launch and enjoy!

One thing you can always count on when you work at Lip Service, musicians will show up. This week, Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach stopped in to say hey to Mickey Finn (from Jetboy), who is Lippy's artists' contact, and pick up some new Lip Service gear. He was so taken with his Stretch F**k'n Twill Mortician Mayhem jacket, he put it on right away to take a couple of pics. Click on the image above to check out the full sized photos on the Lip Service Press Page.

We have gotten a lot of great photos of all of you out in your favorite places in your favorite Lip Service gear, but these two really stood out. The first, sent in by Muse of Mab (our new avatar), is all about clean, crisp lines and clever composition, as well as a great photo of the Muse rocking her corset! Inkeri's photo is more about setting a unique scene that coordinates fabulously with her striking image in her Lippy gear. To check out the full-size photos of our winners and see some of the other great photos we just had to show off, go to our winners page.

If you're just itching to see yourself on our Front Page and be our avatar, stay tuned, we'll be announcing the new photo contest soon. This time, there'll be up to 16 photos getting some huge exposure! C'mon, do we ever do anything small-time? You all look hot in your Lip Service and we want to give you lots of chances to show it!

Just wanted to post a quick journal to introduce ourselves to everybody on LiveJournal. We're the web team for Lip Service and manage lip-service.com as well as the Lip Service blog. If you have any questions about the site, want to know how to send us photos for our galleries or songs for the Lip Service Soundtrack, or just want to say hi, just drop us a line. We'll be here!

Until the next time ...

The Lippy WebMistress & WebMaster
