Las Calaveras de Glam Affair

Glam Affair Dia de los Muerto

This month’s Collabor88 will open at midnight with an exciting theme centered on the delightfully macabre Burtonesque palette and mood board. I am sure there are some people in the world who do not like Tim Burton’s work, but they are probably unhappy. I headed off to Deadman’s Island, a haunted sim with a beautiful ghost ship. I think Tim Burton would like it a lot.

I think Tim Burton should do a film about las calaveras, the happy, delightful sugar skulls that mark the celebration of All Saint’s Day in Mexico. The Day of the Dead is not Halloween, in many ways it is the opposite of Halloween. After all, Halloween focuses on fear of the dead and the Mexican celebration of el día de los muertos is a welcoming visit with the much beloved dead. Families visit the cemetery and spend the day with their dead, leaving ofrendas (offerings) such as food and wine and the lovely pan de los muertos. They also will place photos and even a soap, mirror and razor so the dead can freshen up for the coming year.

From SPIRIT, there are these lovely striped trousers and corset top in the range of colors including black, red, pink, yellow, blue, grey and white, the colors for this month’s Burtonesque theme for Collabor88. I added these Nemesia boots from Glamistry.

My hair is from Vanity Hair which is joining Collabor88 this month. I added a couple older pieces, this gorgeous jacket from BOOM and the wonderful vintage collar and pearls from Maitreya. Digging around in my inventory, I pulled out these old earrings from Violet Voltaire with the candy skulls or calaveras. I also tried on the many wonderful makeups from Glam Affair for the Day of the Dead. Just remember to wear them in celebration.
