Kira's Dia de Los Muertos Oferendas

I received a comment from Miss Kelley the other day, telling me that she had created an ancestor altar in Speirling. I went to see it and was so moved by its beauty as you can tell that it is love-filled...Even here in SL, we change...we discover new things about who we are and what we want. Sometimes, to move forward, we have to have a measure of closure on our past and on those that we have lost in our lives as often that pain alone can keep us from healing and continuing on a path to evolve and change into the person we are meant to become.
I think she did a beautiful job...don't you?

Dark Victorians Dia de Los Muertos Exhibit

I love being an active member of the Dark Victorians group. It suits me well, given my penchant for wearing either black or red. Tonight was the opening of the Dia de Los Muertos exhibit at the Tanglewood Bunneh Hutch. You'll find Muertos-inspired pieces created by Caledonians, such as my "poster" below......As well as artwork and an oferenda for artists Diego Rivera and Frieda Kahlo...You'll also find a box of amusing calavera (skeleton) skins by Miss StormChat Noir, similar to those in traditional paintings such as those by José Guadalupe Posada--whose work you will also be able to see examples of. Here I am dressed up as a calavera along with Doc Mason. For a while, the two of us sipped tequila and margaritas while exchanging bad skeleton puns and jokes (see below)...
Miss Laval & Doc Mason's Top 5 Calavera Bad Jokes:
1. "Drink your milk!"
2. "Well, at least they didn't 'rib' me about it..."
3. "Dr. Mason, have you lost weight?"
4. "...kneebone connected to the legbone..."
5. "I don't mind if you smoke. It's not like it's bad for my health..."
