Halloween Across Second Life

 
By Gemma Cleanslate

Now that my work at the Burn2 has come to an end I will be exploring the Halloween sites that are scattered around the grid . There are many!! Some provide a place to shop for Halloween outfits and decor for you region or home.

I visited a new location this year to check for decor. It is called Spookydoo Halloween Market.  It is loaded!!  Scenes for your home like this Witches Snackbar. I found room with absolutely delightful music boxes and could not stop my self from buying the Pumpkin man. Stop by : http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fantasyland%20II/218/235/300

 After that visit I  stopped over at the Spooktakulum Event on Long Beach. They have a great cemetary. This event will run until late November and includes much more than Halloween.This is a good stop for Gacha lovers. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Long%20Beach/125/166/23

I was greeted at the next stop by spooky sounds. Trick or Treat Lane is in Spectacle. It is another little village setting just filled with Halloween decor and outfits and there are gifts hidden in the little shops so look carefully!!! I have already collected some really cute gifts! It is a great place to walk around. GO!  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Spectacle/181/232/58

I made a stop over at Scare Me Silly where I always find items I like.  If you want to shop and also donate to Team Diabetes this is the place to go. 

A myriad of tiny shops line the roads of this desolate little village near the Galleries. Clothing, decor, jewelry and so much more for your Halloween season. Look for gifts in the shops too, little pumpkins for only 10L each. Parties happen here too, and you can check for the times here   https://teamdiabetessl.org/5th-annual-scare-me-silly-event/  and also find out more information about Team Diabetes in their 5th year of this Halloween event.    Slurl: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Water%20Haven/137/132/23

Want a gruesome, gory. and definitely grisly, experience?? Make your way to the Linden Halloween. At arrival it does not look too bad, another haunted house on a hill. But, as you hop into your coffin for the ride through you have no idea how what it is going to be like. Just ride along and be happy you are in Second Life and it is not real! This is tour 1. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Portal%20Park%201/113/58/54

Some grisly scenes from the Lindens!!

Happy Halloween!

More Christmas Markets

By Gemma Cleanslate

Christmas Lane by Bee Caudron of Bee Designs is another wonderful market to visit. Inside the market area and outside the sights are so cheery .She describes it as “A big  mall full of Christmas decor items in a magic place where you will feel the real Christmas spirit wherever you go.” and it is. Many artists presents their creations in the little shops. I did succumb to trying the gachas near the entrance. Watch out for all the cute critters running around.  This is another site where you must roam both outside inside the market area to see the enticing offers of winter decor. It is extensive.

If you are looking for a ‘Special ‘ Santa  ...  working Santa, a fire fighting Santa, a carpenter
Santa you need to stop off at Christmas at the North Pole. There is such a gathering of them just waiting to go to work for you  where ever you need them/ Perhaps your water region needs  a Santa to deliver gifts in a boat. Well, he is here waiting for you.

There are also loads of toys for sale here too in the elf’s store.Upstairs is the Animated Store. This is a great place to get to see the animated scene by rezzing it while you watch. There are so many animated scenes of Santa and I had a lot of fun!How about  a penguin slide!

Some people will be having fun gatherings for the holidays. If you are looking for some really goofy decor for the area or the house check out this place, Never You Mind.  It is a delight to visit and  if one really wants to buy some of the critters to roam around and just keep you company. There are singing elves, walking cupcakes, and so much more. There is a little tipjar at the entrance where you can get a little shoulder pet for a small tip. I got a couple.

Here is another “market” but with a purpose. The 4th Annual Winter Showcase at water Haven is open with loads of creations from clothing and some lovely art for your walls  to more decor and all for the charity, Team Diabetes of Second Life. The sponsor is Potomac Signature Homes.All the shops are filled with enticing items and there are many sheds also loaded with goodies.

Also “Scattered throughout the Christmas Lodge at the 4th Annual Winter Showcase, are pieces of Santa, after he crashed his sleigh! Grab one of the hunt huds  and ind the pieces and put Santa back together again and earn the prizes below! **Hunt huds are 250L's with 100% of the proceeds going to Team Diabetes of Second Life.**"   There are only a few more days to visit and take advantage and also contribute to the research funds. Events there everyday too.
