Holiday season got you feeling a little mixed up? Searching for a great fall outfit? If you like what you see, want to get the whole picture and know where your shopping adventures need to take you to get the look for yourself, check out the Fashion Section in this week’s Metaverse Messenger for the scoop!

It was a dark and gloomy night in the graveyard at October Country. They met at the gallows, and it was love at first sight when Lily found Frank hanging charmingly by the neck. Hanging out at the old lighthouse, they discussed all their nightmares and fears. They discovered they were MFEO (made for each other).

(Where does Herman come into this story? Apparently, Frank suffered PTSD from being attacked by a horde of angry villagers on All Hallow’s Eve. Lily found Frank too emo for her tastes, and left him when a better munster came along, his older brother, Herman. Lily and her man live in a spacious castle in the suburbs with their son, Eddie, niece, Marilyn, and Lily’s father, Grandpa).

Costumes by the awesome AliciaKay Kilara at A Touch of Ireland! store. Comes with everything seen except the skin and eyes on Sans. Frank comes with the skin, clothing, shape, shoes, and hair (modeled by the talented and lovely, Phoenix Psaltery <3)

Skin: Demoness by Pandora Jensen, Panjen

Hair: Saleen (FREEBIE!) from Here Comes Trouble! (modded a bit for the Lily look)

Eyes: Silverscreen (Big) by Miriel Enfield.

Our week-long showcase of costumes from AliciaKay Kilara’s shop, A Touch of Ireland, continues tonight.  I have to admit that Serenity’s fun and creative coverage from last night is a tough act to follow.  The best thing about A Touch of Ireland is that you don’t necessarily need to wait forHalloween or a costume ball to take a visit and find some fabulous ensembles.  As her store name implies, you can also find a wide range of ethnicwear. 

When bosslady Madison told me that AliciaKay’s “Vampire Hearts” costume was right up my alley, she wasn’t kidding.  This blood-red gothic lolita outfit is sure to stop the most fearsome night creatures in their tracks.   This is a 7-piece set which includes everything below with the exception of the skin, hair and boots. 

I had also picked out “Evil Queen” which was inspired by Snow White.  Another full ensemble complete with shape and skin!  Because I just didn’t feel like “myself” in another shape I had plans to mod the prims (which thankfully ARE modifiable) to fit my own shape.  Unfortunately, I was unable to accomplish that in a timely manner; however you will see such a variety of AliciaKey Kilara’s work as each Fashion Angel shows off their picks, and ultimately in the feature article due in the next issue of the Metaverse Messenger.

Additional credits after the cut:

Hair: Wish II by Stumbelina Ophelia of Cake

Boots:  Demonia Boots by Kya Eliot of Hexed (fka Escape)

Skin:  Tears Red by Helyanwe Vindaloo of Deviant Kitties (this might be discontinued if memory serves me…but don’t quote me on that, take a look for yourself!)

Now I’m off to the beach for a long weekend of ocean breeze goodness before Old Man Winter takes over!

This week, the Angels are getting ready for Halloween! Partnering with AliciaKay Kilara of A Touch of Ireland, each day this week we’ll feature a costume or two from her lovely shops. From princesses to gypsies, to creatures of the night, you’ll see it all. Come back each day to see your favorite Angels and their take on the outfits.

My post, however, serves as more of a preview! Have you ever longed for a home called Tara? Wanted to yell at someone “Franky my dear, I don’t give a damn!”? Do you find yourself saying “Ash-leh, Ash-leh, Ash-leh” in your best southern accent? Well, the first costumes up for review are for you!

Check out the Metaverse Messenger to be released later this week where the reviews and full pictures will be published. Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

You might see bling in the slide show of sneak peek photos for this weekend’s upcoming Jewelry Exposition, but you won’t see it at the Expo. Expo organizer, Miriel Enfield, is keeping a strict policy of no particles, no bling, and please no attachments for shoppers and jewelers alike in an all out effort to keep this First Annual event to a minimum of lag. Catch more of the story about the Jewelry Expo in next week’s Metaverse Messenger. In the meantime, start stockpiling those Linden dollars because you are going to be completely bedazzled by the fantastic jewels showcased at Jewelry Expo!
