It seems to me that there’s rarely such a thing as “a little bit of Halloween.” Yes, people might put up one token decoration, just to acknowledge that they know what season it is. But generally speaking, either people do nothing (or that one thing, which let’s face it, is virtually the same thing!), or they go wild, where the concept of “too much” just doesn’t exist. I have to admit that when my kids were young and we were inundated with trick-or-treaters (we sometimes got 100 or more!!!), I was guilty of going completely overboard. It took several years of post-Halloween clean-up — standing there for hours trying to get all the cobwebs down, multiple trips up all the stairs and the attic ladder to put everything away for the next year — for me to recognize that this was lunacy. Ever since then, every year we’ve done less and less. And now, as it turns out, none of our Halloween decorations made the cut when we were packing for the big move to Florida. Since there are no trick-or-treaters this year, we are officially non-decorating, other than the pumpkins that my husband will carve when the holiday gets a bit closer. Perhaps because of that, I’m one of those who is definitely going a bit Halloween-mad here on the grid… though since I gave up a LOT of prims to move to my current lot, I need to be judicious about what’s out… one thing is for sure though… clean-up is waaaaay easier in SL than it is IRL!!! The entire round of Swank is dedicated to Goth, so it’s incredibly tempting both for decor AND for clothes!!! Happy shopping!
- Outfit: GuGuVaGa Fashion (GGVG) – Gilda Gown in Orange. Personally, I don’t know that I’d actually call this a gown… to me, the word “gown” conjures up “formal”. Yes, Gilda is long, but its unique style makes it so much more wearable than “normal” formalwear. Includes two versions — Wide Open Dress (shows the butt) & the Open Dress (worn), which has a long slit on the back of the left thigh, making that front part into more of a panel for a fantastic sexy look – plus optional “pants” (think thong), a garter, & stockings for mid-heel. To me, this dress cried out for a leg tattoo and thigh-high boots, so that’s what I did! There’s also a teeny bit of alternating bling to the buttons, making it look like the light just happened to catch the metal. Between that & the two slits, Gilda is just awesome to watch! Sized for Legacy, Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I, Kupra O/B/L, & Maitreya, Gilda comes in 11 colors, EXCLUSIVELY at the October round of the Swank Event, open Oct 7th – 31st. Demo available.
