it has various kabbalistic symbols, but my fave is the huge hamsa on the back. i wear hamsas in real life, pretty much keep them everywhere, and found it funny that the second life logo is a modified hamsa.
i was making an outfit to go with this splendid new skin when the hilarity of this idea struck me, and i just had to do it.
in lieu of a seder, the ritual meal where all the foodstuffs have a meaning, i purposely included a few things to serve as a kind of visual/clothing seder. so i suppose this is my utterly vain, profane, and probably semi-sacriligious passover observance this year.
- the bands are symbols of slavery
- amusingly enough the belt of the skirt has an anhk on it, a reminder that we must mourn the egyptians, because they were suffering too.
- the bones and skulls on my shoes reference both the bones of the slaves that were crushed to make mortar for the pyramids, and also the scorched lamb bone of the seder plate.
- the horns are for the common misconception/mistranslation that jews have horns.
- the bracers and torc are from the "abbadon" set. "abbadon" supposedly means destruction in hebrew.
