Trick or Treat - Halloween & Sexuality
Just in off the PR wire...
This press release says:
For some singles, a Halloween mask may reveal more than it hides.
In fact, according to a recent national survey conducted by TRUE, the leading scientifically based online relationship service, those identified as Traditionalists by TRUE's SEXPLORATION(TM) test are anything but traditional when it comes to their Halloween costumes; an amazing 86 percent of Traditionalists want to either dress up in sexy costumes themselves or have their partners do so.
Of the 5,000 respondents surveyed, more than 62 percent thought Halloween was a GREAT date night (or chance to meet someone romantically) and over 45 percent planned to dress up for the occasion. Watch out New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Chicago, as the survey found singles in these cities are ready to trick, treat ... and get sexy.
To me, there's a direct correlation with gaming here - among other things, Halloween is our one time a year to role play publicly. You can dress up and be whoever you want to be.

The Second Life Community Convention was this weekend in NY, about 150 or so people showed up. For most of them, it was the first time meeting other SL residents in RL. From all of the blog postings and stories I'm hearing about, this lines up perfectly. People tend to have traits of their avatars, and tend to accentuate the traits they like in themselves in their avatars.
