I have a deep admiration for Angelina Jolie – an actress who invests tremendous energy and time in aiding the most vulnerable, the refugees who are homeless, stateless and often forgotten. And I also love the Tomb Raider computer game and the movies. So what better choice for my first Halloween in Second Life than to come as Lara Croft?

Gidge and I will be trying to include costumes each day as we come up on Halloween which I think is THE holiday event of the Metaverse.  This costume began with the shape which was made by Alea LAmont of ND/MD. She helpfully provided a style notecard suggesting hair and skin options.

The Lara Croft paraphenalia came from cherry-picking bits of two Lara Croft costumes though the one from Canimal is the best of the two – if you get only one, get that one. I kind of went overboard considering this is just a costume, but at the time I was dating a guy who really likes Angelina Jolie (for many of the same reasons as I do) and thought it would thrill him. And it did!
