"back to back, belly to belly, I don’t give a damn, I done dead already"

i LOVE halloween. love dressing up, love making believe. so why am i not quite feeling it in sl right now? maybe because every single day brings a fresh opportunity to be something else? whatever it is, i'm pretty blah about my favorite holiday and need a kick in the ass. if anyone has any spooky slsightseeing suggestions, please leave them in the comments!

or maybe my mood isn't entirely unsalvagable, as i'm pretty psyched about the handful of things i'll be sharing in a moment. long time free*style readers know that i'm a wretched hunter. when i heard about the big ass hell bop grave robbing hunt i figured i'd give it a go without really expecting to find much, as is my wont. but oh my god you guys, this thing is so fucking easy! i could give the hunt organizers a big juicy kiss. all you have to do is run around clicking on the graves scattered around car wash and the floating comet mall -- you might get yelled at by a ghostie or you might get a gift. it runs through october 31st, and there are a million and two great designers participating (and yes, there's guy stuff) but because i'm a lazy predictable old bat i instantly dove into the artilleri and ingenue folders.

the artilleri dress is a slinky curve-loving (or would be, if i'd blessed this particular shape with any, poor creature) thing, and there's also a softly pretty consumptive-licious skin which manages to do black lipstick without making a girl look like a shitty goth music listening mallrat.





there's a fun skull hair flower too (comes in three attachment points! yay), shown below with the sweet mary tyler moore-ish kmh lucky board hair suri blogged earlier. the ingenue hunt gift is sexy strappy retro-y number, and i love that instead of garish traditional halloween orange it's a luscious cantaloupe shade. between that and the morbidly yummy MMS group gift skin (there's a second, equally nice skin gift not shown... and there's a joining fee, but it's worth it as they give gifts out quite often) i feel like an undead beauty queen waiting around for her zombie man to take her out for some delicious brains.





and since i've now got zombies on my um, brain, i leave you with the trailer to one of my favoritest movies of all time, shaun of the dead:

For the record... the artilleri outfit/skin looks AMAZING with the free Bishwear updo from Savoir Hair.

Love the outfit in the first pic, for some reason the skin and everything in it remind of me of Margaret Cho! :D

That movie looks great! If you like funny zombie films check out a little film called "Fido". It may be hard to find but it's worth it.
