Día de los Muertos @ The Bradbury Project

• Though it's celebrated at the same time of year, Día de los Muertos is a very different celebration from Hallowe'en. 
• Día de los Muertos is a Mexican tradition celebrated on November 1 and 2, honoring deceased loved ones with altars (ofrendas), marigolds, sugar skulls, and visits to cemeteries. 

• The Bradbury Project presented by the Seanchai Library offers interactive live readings and other themed activities featuring worldwide celebrations honoring the Dead based on Ray Bradbury's book, The Halloween Tree. 
• I've read this book every October since it was published in 1972. My favorite part of the story has always been the section on Día de los Muertos. I love the idea that people honor their departed loved ones by building altars of their favorite things and invite them to come visit. No jump scares, no demented ghosts or buckets of blood, just the family visiting and remembering the ones have passed beyond the veil.

• In Second Life we can live realities that are only imagined in RL. I'm posing in Moundshroud's home at the Bradbury Project wearing a beautiful costume called Gilded Calavera (Skull) made by Luna Chelsea available till October 20 @ Designer Showcase.
• Gilded Calavera includes Gown, Boots, Head, Dress, Handbag, Candle Tray and EvoX BoM Makeup 
• [Kupra / Reborn, Waifus / Legacy, Perky / LarX, Petite / Maitreya, Petite]

• Visit Designer Showcase to find your chosen look, then head to the Bradbury Project for a little nostalgia, a little storytelling and a LOT of fun.

Magic in Many Forms

• Jumo brings a magical look to the October round of Designer Showcase with this Greek Goddess Gown from their Halloween collection. 
• With a huge hud of colors, you can make the separate parts any color you wish, so if you'd like to be a red or black demon or a white goddess, you can do that, but I chose to go the other direction and make my look more celestial, or perhaps, more starstruck.

• Showing just a couple of the Jumo texture possibilities. [Maitreya, Petite / LaraX, LaraX Petite / Legacy, Perky / Reborn / Waifu / Nhumana] 
• Crown comes with the Cali Gown. 
• Callie Earrings sold separately.
• Makeup is from Cazimi Autumn Haze Eyeshadow / Senescence Lipstick [2K in 12 colors, 3 opacities]

Fragile Beauty

• Designer Showcase is your one-stop destination for a wide variety of styles. 
• I featured one of the costumes in my last blog and I'm sharing one of the club-wear offerings today. 

• Sparkly trim accents the bodice of a sexy, pocketed jumpsuit from Liziaah, which reminds me of the glory days of Hollywood. The glitz and glamor of the outfit remain even when the owner begins to show the cracks around the edges.
• Liziaah Soumia Jumper comes in 6 colors. Soumia Earrings and Necklace give a polished finish to the look.
• Makeup is Cazimi Autumn Haze Eyeshadow 2K EvoX / Senescence Lipstick 2K EvoX BOM [12 colors with 3 opacities for each set.]
• Lindy Crisiant mid-high heels with a double strap in 6 colors sold separately or all together in a Fatpack [Lara / LaraX / Legacy / Belleza / GenX / Reborn / Inithium / Kupra]

• There are outfits to wear for day-to-day, outfits to wear to clubs or get-togethers and a variety of incredibly beautiful costumes from October 5 -20. 

• I knew the moment I saw it I had to have the Gilded Hex Complete Alchemy Witch Costume from Luna Chelsea! The texturing is amazing, the style is sexy and the accessories are unlike any I've seen in SL. It creates a spell to mesmerize everyone who sees it.
• The Gown is black covered in golden arcane symbols sized and placed perfectly.
