A friend recently pointed out that my blogs have been somewhat patchy, attributing this to the amount of time I've been spending in the sweatshop that I carved deep in the bowels of Heroes Club. And maybe just a little to the time I spend actually running said club and promoting it.
It may even have been suggested that this lack of blogging may be symptomatic of a wider malaise. Isn't that a lovely phrase? I stole it from my daily newspaper. Anyway, speaking of theft, and indeed other nefarious activities such as plots of world domination or destruction, my friend hinted that my distraction had played right into the hands of the criminal underworld, who even now are running rampant and unchecked by the forces of good, i.e. Nightgirl. Me.
There may be some truth in this, but in my defence I have been doing a few calculations. Well, just one, actually, and only a pretty wild one at that. Of my range of costumes, I have sold just over ninety through my Heroes Clobber vendor and on xStreetSL. Excluding people who bought more than one, and those who bought my pyjamas (who presumably just wanted a good night's sleep), I reckon that still makes more than eighty new crimefighters, caped crusaders and people of steel on the streets of Second Life. I'm sure you'll agree that's a pretty impressive result. Probably it's better than our government managed in the whole of last year.
So with this in mind, I'm proud to announce my sixteenth costume. This one is inspired by the magician superheroine, Zatanna. Why not Google her now?
She doesn't look much like a superheroine, does she? In fact, I think she looks like a showgirl. But that's okay! Because it means that you aren't limited to wearing the costume in places that smile on superheroes, or are holding a best in superhero contest. No, with this one, you could be a circus ringmaster! A magician! A maitre d' or a master of ceremonies! Maybe even steal the show at a black tie event. It comes with the usual array of choice and extras, and even a dinky little wand that produces sparks but not much else.
Happy hunting!
