Gorgeous & Hilarious Tributes to Thanksgiving by the Second Life Community

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Adam Cayden very cleverly paid playful homage to “The Last Supper” with this Thanksgiving photo, “The Last Tab.” As in Da Vinci’s original, the host is surrounded by twelve friends. In the original, they are disputing and debating the allegation that one will betray him. In this homage, they seem to be discussing their share of the bill. This was posted in October to celebrate Canada’s Thanksgiving on the Tenth. I wanted to celebrate today’s holiday, but it’s good to remember that there are several other countries that also celebrate Thanksgiving or a similar harvest festival.

Serena captures what looks to be the dreaded arguing over dinner “Happy Thanksgiving.” There’s the chef bringing her beautiful roast turkey and the men are arguing and one of the women is already feeling the wine’s soporific effect and the other is avoiding the argument by reading New World Notes on her phone.

Now if you tried sleeping on your plate at Anthony Rodriguez’ “Thanksgiving Dinner Table,” there is a butler to politely wake you up. This is a very formal and beautifully styled dinner table. Be on your best behavior. 

Val Xox is urging a vegetarian/vegan Thanksgiving in “Thankskilling” a gruesome reminder that turkeys are probably not fond of the holiday, or as PETA says, “Stay the flock away from my family.” 

My favorite, though, is Diney McCallan’s exuberant Thanks Giving. However you celebrate, whatever you eat (lamb, for me), and no matter what the date, I hope you have a happy, safe, and peaceful Thanksgiving. Disney graced us with a snippet from C. J. Beamon’s Thanksgiving poem:

"May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey be plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!"

Lovely photography and poses, but the first image shows something that bothers me to no end: mesh has resulted in female avatars with the same babydoll faces. Males? Slightly better.

We could have built a better world.
