Ophelia..... a haunting

Happy Halloween! This is my favorite holiday and as I missed posting yesterday (for the sake of hot cider, pumpkin picking and a hayride) I'll be putting up two Halloween related posts today!

Following in the theme... I put together another costume, which is inspired by Shakespeare's Ophelia.. but with a little twist. Here I envision her haunting her watery grave.... (for a little brush up on our Shakespeare read on....) Again.. the idea is to use LoveCats items to create as much of the look as possible.

Ophelia is a character from the Shakespearean play Hamlet. Distraught over Hamlet, she either slipped and drowned.... or as is suggested in the play, killed herself in madness and heartbreak.

And if this is a little out there for you.. I think it would still make a great base for a ghastly costume (think dead bride, etc)

Flowers and plants cling to her as she wanders the lonely nearby fields



She slips comfortably back to her watery home







Here I am wearing from LoveCats:

and since I can't have *everything* on hand for the perfect look....I have added:

Lashes- MIASNOW

Eye Makeup (tintable)- TULI



Demon in the Forest

While I'm comfortable in Second Life barefoot and in jeans, I love the myriad of looks we can have here. I might be found as a mermaid, a neko, fairy, or anything in between. Why wear what we wear in real life? Sure, it is nice and comfortable... but why not explore? Halloween is the *perfect* time to play... just like in RL we can be whatever we want to be, so lets have fun!

Today I went to the extreme (for me) with this all black demon look. The idea, of course, is to wear my own designs.. but with a twist.

Clearly this dark creature is lost- in a mystical land... wandering through the trees to find her way home

Flying to the treetops, she surveys the forest below

Finally she spies her means of escape... back to her netherworld home.
