I had a great time decorating for Halloween last year. I think one of the appeals of Second Life is the opportunity to do things that can’t be done reasonably or maybe even at all in Real Life. In addition to going a little crazy with the house and yard decorations, I also had, um, several different costumes for myself. You may not feel the need to go quite that far, but surely you’ll need at least one. Here are some ideas I’m playing with for this year, some new and some that have been around for a while. I only wore one of these last year, though, so I’m not just recycling things that are already sitting in my inventory! I’ve tried to include a mix of clothing costumes and avatars, although some costumes can be so elaborate that the line between often seems blurred. These are just some personal favorites of mine, and we’re by no means done for the season–you’ll undoubtedly see at least a few more seasonally themed items in the next few weeks.

When I was
A young boy
My father
Took me into the city
To see a marching band…
Only the Way brothers could make a marching band outfit this cool. “The Black Parade,” by of kaia Ennui of Nocturnal Threads, is based on the uniform worn by My Chemical Romance as The Black Parade. The outfit is simple– a shirt and pants, jacket extension on the skirt layer, gloves and prim cuffs. The fabric itself is nearly solid black with little texture, a bold decision that allows greater impact of the stark white accents. Sometimes it’s good, it seems, to avoid a realistic fabric weave in favor of a more dramatic contrast. (more…)

For some of us, Valentine’s Day can be…traumatic. You know who you are. If you’re in that crowd, I want to do something a little different for you here. Here are a few great V-Day ideas I’ve run into recently. Hopefully, some of these will work for you. :) First up, a few things to wear, then on to some gift ideas.
It’s a perennial, really. Every year we see another round of Valentine’s Day-themed boxers for the guys–although I’m sure the girls can wear them too, yeah baby! The catch is finding the good ones among the teeming masses. Designer Ravelynn Templar of Liquid Velvet Studios has released her Silky Whispers boxers in two different designs for Valentine’s Day, “Be Mine” (shown at left) and “Kiss Me,” similar in design but scattered with lipstick kisses instead of red hearts. Perfect for those special moments. Priced at L$95 per pair and available now at Liquid Velvet Studios (Forsaken Enterprises 22, 175, 30). (more…)
