Iris Wants to Know: What Costume Are You Wearing For Halloween in Second Life and/or Reality?

Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style

I haven't had the occasion to dress up for Halloween for a few years now, even though it's easily one on my favorite holidays. This year for the first time in a while I won't even be dressing up in the virtual world, either. It's a bit of a bummer, especially since I've still got that fashionista itch to buy loads of newly released Second Life costumes, just for the sake of having them. After all, one day I might need one of them (I won't.) Maybe (Nope.) Who can say? (Me.)

So let me celebrate this holiest of days vicariously through you. I want to know what you'll be dressing up as for Halloween, both online and offline. Share your costumes in the comments below and, naturally, if you're a blogger or photographer feel free to link your favorite Halloween looks as well and inspire those of us who have to wait until next year to get back into the spooky swing of things.

And if you're looking for the creepy-cute costume pictured above, it's a classic mesh gem from Bakemonoya that I covered way back in 2012. Check out the details here.

I am dressing up as Flash Gordon in Second Life and an unshaven sandals-wearing Floridian in real life -- which I dress up as every day actually!
