Have A Super Halloween

The Torch has been looking for the perfect costumes for this Halloween. Last year we were witches, ghosts and creepers. This year we decided to go the way of the Super heroes, thanks to watching so much of Linkara’s Atop the Forth Wall, from That Guy With The Glasses.

With our need to be superHeroes_001heroes for the month growing we decided to look around the grid and stumbled onto ( and by stumble I mean look at our Torch Jack O Lantern Hunt list) and found Heroes Clobber, a store that belongs to Heroes Nightclub, a club for…well…superheroes and super villains. Heroes Clobber was created by Abby (nightgirl destiny) and features characters from both the DC and Marvel universe, as well as the Heroes Clobber’s very own characters. Their costumes are very affordable, ranging from as low as 75L$ to as high as 200L$

Omega03

Omega is a Heroes Clobber original. A mysterious explosion in a Science Academy changed the lives of 48 students who worked there, this is the faith  two of 48. It turned them into Omega. they have control over the darkness, and emits an eerie black fog, that will have you terrified. It is unclear if they are super heroes or super villains, but which ever they are, it is certain they are the end of all things.

This costume comes with a female version and male version and cost 100L$

tau01

Tau is another Heroes Clobber original, they were created from the same explosion that created the Omegas but while the Omegas bring the darkness forth, Tau brings the dead back the life, if you see them run as fast as you can, or before you know it a ghoul will be after you.

This costume also comes in a female and male version and also costs 100L$

There are more awesome Heroes Clobber originals waiting for you, don’t you want to find out the fate of the rest of the students?

We couldn’t leave out the amazing heroes (Villains) of the DC and Marvel universe, there are a lot of familiar faces in Heroes

You all know Steve Rogers AKA Captain America and Batman’s greatest enemy, The Joker.

If you are in a super mood, this Halloween make your way to Heroes Clobber and have yourself a super Halloween.

oldnyc_001

Old NYC was started in 2008. The previous sim owner, spent an entire year to build the sim, which included the Brooklyn Bridge, which currently spans two sims. In 2009 the original sim was sold to the current sim owners, Rickie Jameson and Delilah Buscaylet, who added the Staten Island sim, rebuilt the sim, and expanded the Brooklyn Bridge to span over both sims. The sims are not based on roleplay but more of a residential feel for people to enjoy their own slice of New York in Second Life.

Smooth Jazz at Bella Vida Jazz Club

The sounds of the decades are flowing through the walls of this Jazz Club. One thing you have to love about SL is that it is a very musical place. Every where you look you can find, clubs, and pubs that range musically, from classic rock to modern, from blues to hip hop, from classical to jazz all are available in Second Life. We have looked at classic rock, urban and Metal clubs before., but never a Jazz Club. Personally I am a firm lover of Jazz and my first SL Jazz club will forever be Phatcats, but that review will come sometime later. For now lets concentrate on Bella Vida Jazz Club.

Smooth Jazz of the Decades flow through this amazing club, I happen to come to this club on a day that there was a live artists. The fabulous and funny Wytchwhisper Sadofsky, who lit up the stage. When there aren’t any live artists running around being just incredible and making you tap your feet to their tunes, Bella Vida slows down with the sounds of the old favourites, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and new favourites like Norah Jones.

Any good club must have friendly people and Bella Vida is OK in that department. If you are a music lover and want a place with a relaxing atmosphere this is the place for you.

Midnight Eclipse Strip Club and Mall

Midnight Eclipse

 

You can only imagine who surprised I was when I say this place. I am talking fantastic décor, excellent details down to the unlucky chair. The Halloween decorations made the place even more of a gothic style to the whole place. The club has the fantastic location and awesome staff and owner. You will feel like you walked into a family club with all the more mystique that makes it all the more gothic.
Opening in February of this year, 2011, it has 94 total members and has a friendly family oriented type staff. They are looking for workers who want to join a fun and friendly club. In the staff they look for nice look avatars, in other words you can’t look like a newcomer. They are hiring strippers, hosts, and even DJ’s who have been on Second Life for more than 30 days for hosts and dancers/strippers and 60 days for the DJ’s with their own stream. If you need an application contact Maleficent Silentghost and she will be happy to hook you up with a notecard application.
When talking with Maleficent, I learned how she feels about her club and what her club means to her. When asked what makes her club really great, she says that her strippers are what makes people feel happy and love to stick around. The strippers are required to be able to emote very well and are very engaging and friendly. The hosts are also friendly as well and fantastic DJ’s.
They have events at different times throughout the day and week; they are hoping to find live bands to increase the traffic. There is even a full mall that has many stores and things to look at. They are also hosting a photo contest, its 25L$ to enter and voting costs 10L$. The prize is 300L$, however if they get two full pages they will increase the prize to 500L$.
While finishing the interview I asked Maleficent if she had any advice for people who are either new to Second Life or wanting to start up a club or those who have been in Second Life for a while and what to start a club for the first time. This is what she had to say, “It takes a lot of hard work, patience, and a trusting, hardworking staff that is willing to put in the hours and time to help you with the club.” She was glad to help me with the article and hopes that the article will bring even more traffic to the club and mall. I think her club rocks and is going be around a long time.
One last note before I close this article, if you want to go to a gothic club that has a family feel to it then this is the club for you. The mall and club make you feel very welcomed while still being gothic. They accept everyone no matter the way your avatar looks like nekos, dragons, furrys, and even lycans. The only thing is that you have to look like an adult and act like an adult. So head over to Midnight Eclipse Strip club and Mall and check it out for yourself.
