Just An Outfit Of The Day #6

Halloween isn’t huge in Sweden, at least not compared to American standards by any stretch. As I have never lived in the United States, I don’t know if it’s common for people to have halloween parties in the weeks running up to the actual day. That’s what I’m seeing happening here, and to me it looks a little like people are confused and don’t really know when they’re supposed to celebrate this. In their defence, as Halloween doesn’t have the same cultural meaning in Sweden as it has in the US, people aren’t taking the day off. Who can blame them for playing dress-up on another day or night that is roughly around the correct time of year. It’s not like I stop eating like a pig straight after Christmas either.

You don’t have to spend an awful lot of time in Seconde Lifeâ„¢ to realise that Halloween is pretty big in this virtual world. I haven’t really partaken much this year. The past couple of weeks have been a rocky horror show at work, and there wasn’t a Sweet Transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania anywhere near it. I’ve been doing battle with AI, trying to get images out of to use in an upcoming campaign and it has left me feeling rather hollow. Gone are the days where I would spend hours hopping from sim to sim, participating in a Halloween hunt. Madpea had some pretty good ones over the past years, but I’m not sure if there even was one this time around. I have some rather fond memories of all that wandering around in SL, come across some beautiful and some… let’s call them “interesting” sims. If it payed the bills, I’d trade it in for my day job in a heartbeat. Well, for a bit anyway.

The outfit of the day is an homage to the many girls I’m seeing in town these days wearing obscenely short skirts for this time of year, veering dangerously close to an outfit one might associate with a “working girl”. You know what they say: if you can’t beat them, join them.
