I’ll Plague You With A Curse, Like Flowers Rotting In The Mud, I’ll Put You In The Earth
Deep inside a haunted cathedral, Mackenzie and I embrace the darker side of Halloween with [ContraptioN]’s The Wick Head and AMARA BEAUTY’s Lana Makeup, both featured at Salem 2026 by Prism Events. With CUREMORE’s Fragile Monster collection, ghostly shadows, and VANA’s Pray setting the mood, we bring a supernatural confrontation to life where nothing is quite what it seems.
So Flood Me Like Atlantic
Some places never quite let go of the people who once called them home. For our second Salem 2026 feature, Mackenzie and I step into Milkmotion’s The Drowned Village, bringing together ghostly fashion, forgotten memories, and Sleep Token’s Atlantic for a story about what remains when everything else has disappeared beneath the water.
Show Me The Places Where The Others Gave You Scars
Salem is back in Second Life, and seven years after I first wandered through as a shopper, I’m returning for the first time as an official Prism Events blogger. This time Mackenzie is coming with me, and somewhere between a dress, a little magic and a room full of things I’m probably better off not touching, our first Salem story came together.
“If You Want To Be A Better Player, You Have To Prepare, Prepare, And Prepare Some More.”
Every year when August 24th comes around, I find myself back here in one way or another. If you have been around this blog for any length of time, you already know what Kobe Bryant means to me and how much of my love for the Lakers can be traced directly back to watching him play.
Hold On Tight, The Sun Is Gonna Rise
What stands out to me about the white stripe is not just what it represents, but where it sits. Right in the center. Not at the beginning. Not at the end. At the heart of the flag. There’s something meaningful about that placement. The design doesn’t place people who are transitioning, intersex, or non-binary identities at the edges as an exception or an afterthought. Instead, every stripe mirrors around that center point. The white stripe becomes part of the foundation. A reminder that identity has never been as rigid or as simple as people sometimes want it to be.
I’m Beautiful In My Way ‘Cause God Makes No Mistakes
Few colors seem to come with as many assumptions as pink. Somewhere along the way, society decided that colors should have rules attached to them. Certain colors became associated with certain genders, certain interests, and certain expectations. Over time, those ideas became so common that many people stopped questioning them altogether. The strange thing is that pink is still just a color. It doesn’t tell us who someone is. It doesn’t determine what they should wear. It doesn’t decide what interests they should have or how they should express themselves.
And Today Is All You’ll Ever Have, Don’t Close Your Eyes
For a long time, the rainbow flag was the symbol of Pride. Created by Gilbert Baker in 1978, it became a banner that represented the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole and remains the image many people immediately think of when Pride Month arrives each June. Over time, additional flags were created to represent specific identities and experiences within the broader community. While the rainbow flag remains an important symbol of unity, these newer flags tell stories that are uniquely their own. So while this post isn’t officially part of the challenge itself, it felt like a natural continuation of the journey.
Every Time You Get Up And Get Back In The Race
Of all the colors represented in the Pride flag, spirit may be the most difficult to explain because it means something different to everyone. When I think about spirit, I don’t think about perfection, confidence, or having life completely figured out. I think about conviction. I think about the beliefs, values, and pieces of ourselves that remain unchanged regardless of what life throws our way.
Remember All The Sadness And Frustration, And Let It Go. Let It Go
Of all the colors I’ve explored so far, blue has been the quietest. It doesn’t demand attention the way some of the others do. It simply asks us to pause for a moment and consider what we’re still holding onto. Not every burden needs to be carried forever. Not every disappointment deserves permanent space in our lives. Not every difficult chapter needs to remain open.
