It's that time again...time to select which lucky islander will join the island Hall of Fame — otherwise known as our Member Spotlight!

This month, we're going to highlight the winner of the Haunted House contest. If you want to be in the running for member of the month, submit your design today so you can show off your creation and grab some island stardom!

Show us what you've got!

Thanks to all of the ideas you've been sending, we've decided to host a haunted island party! Be afraid!

Well okay, maybe not afraid...but definitely be ready to have fun!

We're going to start with a haunted house contest to kick it off! You have till next week to submit a spooky design for all your fellow islanders to vote on! We're going to take pics and let everyone see how Halloween-ish your design is! It just has to reflect the October Halloween theme — you know, pumpkins, mazes, candy corn land, trick-or-treat central, haunted house style decorations...all of it!

In the meantime, we're going to be throwing an island costume party right in the town center of our new neighborhood, Emerald Lagoon! There's a fun open space for hanging out, dancing, and for everyone to show off their costumes!

Date: 10/30
Time: 4pm PT
Bring: Your spooky, decked-out-in-costume island self
Location: Emerald Lagoon

Catch you all there!

Can you believe it? It's already fall! It's like island time has tick-tocked super fast and summer is already gone! We've got a lot of new things coming, so stay tuned for those updates. There will be lots of new stuff, so don't hold your breath, it'll be here before you know it!

In the meantime, we're thinking about throwing an October bash to kick off the chilly weather! Got ideas? Let's hear them! Do you want to rock the island with a haunted house building contest? A pumpkin pie build-a-thon?

Send us your ideas and let all your fellow islanders decide how we are going to spook and celebrate Halloween!

If you haven't picked up a set, grab a pair of these slick new headphones! This time they're attached to purple and gold hair, just in time for Halloween!

Yup, this month the guys' and girls' new clothing item is practically the same: Headphones with new, colorful and loud hairstyles. Check them out for yourself, and style up, island fashionista! We're going to have a Halloween party this month!

 

I know, you've probably noticed that the new October fashions aren't in the GCK boutique just yet — turns out the original batch of clothing we'd shipped over there was taken over by alien ships! Well okay, not really...but we've got the island designers working on that and they'll be in ASAP! Stay tuned to "What's New" to see when they drop in-world!

Also, don't forget it's island tax time again! So if you own a piece of land anywhere on the island (hopefully you've picked out a cool lot on Emerald Lagoon too!), don't wait and hurry to SIRS today to get all that stuff done! Once you do that little tiny icon on your upper left hand corner will finally go away! I'm just paying mine now — see you in the SIRS building!
