Halloween Meme: Dance Macabre

1 Halloween with my wifey MG

I had actually planned on using these photos for my post on Halloween, but of course, Miss Berry had to do a Halloween Meme on Monday! Something tells me she could never wait until her birthday to open her presents, either 😉

Halloween falls on Thursday this year, so I will be DJing at The River from 12-3am, kicking off the festivities for the club. My host and I had already decided to do a costume party event (there will be Lindens to be won!), so of course, when I picked out my costume I told my wifey, Cynner, that she had to come as my zombie groom. Since she couldn’t find a suitable outfit, she made one! My wifey is a very talented woman and runs her own clothing store, Impulse. Sadly, this is a one-of-a-kind outfit and isn’t for sale, but she does some really awesome biker stuff and she’s even recently added some pink to her line (yes, she can thank her wifey for that 😀 )

Before I get to the meme, let me tell you how Cyn became my wifey. I’ve told the story before, but I’m too lazy to dig up the link to the post lol

Cyn and I used to hang out at the same club. She is a bit of a naughty girl, you see, and at the time I stupidly wore a titler. One night while I was AFK, Cyn, whose boyfriend wasn’t in world and left her unsupervised, changed my titler to, “Cyn’s Wifey”. That was about three years ago, and it’s just stuck. And I’m glad – she’s one hell of a woman and I’m lucky to call her my friend – and my Wifey 🙂

Now, on to the meme!

Meme Instructions: Share a picture of your Halloween Costume in Second Life and/or answer the following questions about Halloween. Don’t forget to share a link to your post in the comments (of this post) and if you share a picture, feel free to add it to the Blog Memes Flickr Group.

1. Did you go trick or treating as a child? Yes, I did. I grew up on a farm so that meant Mom packing my sister and me into the car and driving from farm to farm to trick or treat. No mean feat in a Halloween costume!

2. What is your most vivid memory about Halloween? One year, my best friend and I stayed at her house with her baby while her husband took their two older children trick or treating. I dressed up in a Santa costume with a knife sticking in my heart and blood running down the front. I don’t know what was more memorable – the pillow that kept slipping out from under the jacket causing my pants to fall down or the look on the poor kid’s face who was devastated that Santa had been stabbed.

I probably should have considered the audience when I picked out that costume o.O

3. What is the scariest movie you have ever seen? I remember going to a midnight showing of some slasher movie when I was in high school, but I spent the entire time with my eyes closed and my head buried in my lap, so I don’t remember the name (thankfully!) I guess the scariest movie that I remember the title of would be Wolf Creek – probably because it is set in Australia and marketed as being based on a true story (although I don’t know if it really was).

4.Do you ever get nightmares after watching a scary movie? I rarely remember my dreams, so I’m going to have to say no.

5. Are you superstitious? If so, name at least one superstition of yours. No, I’m not really. I guess the closest I would come to being superstitious is being a bit leery when something bad happens, wondering if it will be the first of three.

6. What will you be doing for Halloween this year, if anything, in SL and RL? As I mentioned earlier, I’ll be DJing at The River from 12-3am SLT, which is 6-9pm on Halloween night for me. Chances are I won’t be heading out trick or treating after that! Halloween isn’t a big deal here in Australia and I live in a security building, but I’ll make sure I have a bag of candy handy in case any of the neighbourhood kids do venture to my door. Anyway, that’s the excuse I’m using for ordering a bag of Reese’s Miniature cups from USA Foods a couple of weeks ago 😉

And just because I know you’re dying for a closeup of my wifey and me in all our glamourous finery:

It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere

1 LMD & Quint_021

While I’m most likely to be sipping a Virgin Mary, the idea of sitting in a beach-side bar, chatting and laughing with good friends as the sun slowly begins to fade certainly has an appeal. And if they get too tipsy, I’ll be the one giggling when they teeter off their chairs and fall into the pool.

I’m not saying I would push them, but then again, I’m not saying I wouldn’t 😉

Shopping Spree In A Pink Hat

1 Plains Hat v2 Pink_071

Strolling through the park, heading for the shopping district (of course) is the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Sun streaming against my shoulders, birds singing, the breeze playing through the leaves and the soft scent of the flowers makes for a very pleasant outing.

The hat is a special edition just released by Johnfrancis Laville. It is such a lovely shade of pink that I think this one is more for the ladies than the men (although there is no reason the guys can’t wear pink!) Click the link in the credits to try it on for yourself.

You can’t go wrong with a little shopping spree while wearing a pink hat 😉
