While Halloween times are full of fun it is also nice to have gifts that move beyond the seasons.  Here are three presents that fit throughout the year.

RIOT / Jameela Leggings - Spooky Pack has a texture hud with brights (and VERY Halloweeny) as well as versions that are not so obviously October :D.

Tails, wings, horns and platform knee-high boots -- pick your poison!

[ZEX] Mazikeen Demon Outfit * Fat pack Noir    LOTS of fits. 

Another great gift.   * Aster * Outfit * Les Sucreries de Fairy * Lara comes in other body fits. Lara fit LaraX except for armbands. Tiny wings are included. 

Some of you may remember my Art region from a few years back. This was the group gallery and it was superb as such.  It is of course VERY large so won't work for everyone, but if you have the space get on over to Superfans this week and grab it. 

Tis that time again -- when you can break out of your shell amidst other like minded folks and be someone you are not. 

Shop and Hop Halloween is open.  

It is no secret that this is my least favorite theme of the four seasons but I did venture over.   And there was a surprise in store.  There is a very different look to the event styling and I won't spoil the surprise. I will say that while very pretty it is not conducive to cam shopping -- my stand by method of a couple of decades.   If you too are a cam shopper then I suggest that the STORE LISITNGS at the bottom of this page may be the way to peruse the items offered. 

There weren't man old guard stores in the mix this round; newish stores and boutique shops were well represented. 

I did find a few items that went into my "keeper" folders and I will be showing those to you over time. 

Meanwhile this is Chandra's gift for the spooky season.  It comes in Lara - LaraX and Reborn. There IS a style menu so read that notecard *wink*.

This is NOT a "safe for work" item, hence shadows ^^.

If dark and brooding historical places peak your interest, if witches and madness are what you are craving, this nicely styled region may be perfect for some seasonal photography.   

Let us not repeat these days ---- 

Find it here. 

Oh so many years ago there were a good number of shops gave out wearable demos with each release.  I can think of a couple that still do. Then again I am not a shopper these days so there may be more.  It would be nice to see that "marketing plan" return to the grid.  

These SOLIAC - Earrings Liam Swallow F seem to be part of that practice. Or perhaps the texture hud was missing when I picked them up.  Either way this is an extremely nice gift.  

You can find them here as part of the Engine Room gifting.   (free group required)

The Trompe Loeil - Kamlai Tropical Ranch is out this week and if you have a beach lot (or pad in the sky) and especially if you are sharing spaces with friends, this may be a perfect addition to your inventory. 

One giant Great Room leads to three separate roomy suites. There is plenty of privacy as well as windows for your water views.  Tropical plants come with.  140 land impact at default size. 

A couple of decades ago casinos were a big thing. Large or small and many with Money Trees they attracted folks even if they weren't gamblers.  Some had camping chairs (a big deal back then).  After awhile  gambling became "illegal" and was banned in Second Life === and a fair amount of folks left the grid.  They didn't vanish in hoards like some other exoduses but there was a notable shift.   

Then "skilled gambling" came into play and "gaming regions" ($$) and NOW gambling can be hosted on Moderate and Adult private lands and mainland (not Belli).  There ARE of course rules and there are costs and chances involved in the process of setting up. So not like the old days, but still ---- 

Just a fun shot with some old favorites that haven't seen the light of a virtual morning in a long while. Taken at Death Valley obviously :D.  So I "DO" get out now and then. 

[Since1975] Traveler Backpack (Female) giant hud which includes snow.

The great buitar pose is 15 years old so likely not around any longer. Also likely a gift or hunt item LOL 

Some of us like to be stylish whatever the day may bring.  If you want to look like a Vogue model on a photo shoot rather than a dusty backpacker the KUNGLERS - Freyja necklace will do the job.  Rigged for popular bodies as well as a resize version and of course a texture change hud.  

If you are a citizen of the city  or live surrounded by lush forest and have never ventured into the emptiness of the dusty plains -- you may want to take a virtual trip to Death Valley. This is a fun photo backdrop for "travel" shots. Grab your backpack and your guitar and have some fun.    

Dress it up, down or somewhere in the middle, this New multi-necklace all in one from Kunglers can handle most any style. Rigged for popular bodies and includes a resize version.  Pretty color hud? Naturally !
