This edition of ECLIPSE Magazine we feature Trompe Loeil by the very talented Cory Edo on our cover. We take it to the streets to explore some of the best places to shop and visit this holiday season. On the topic of untraditional ways to celebrate, we learn how about Giftmas in The Wastelands. The Proust Spotlight shines bright on amazing photographer and blogger, Luka Requiem. Of course, this issue would not be complete without our Voices from the Grid segment, where residents tell us how they celebrate the holidays in SL. From the fashion perspective, ECLIPSE Models have been challenged to show us their Ready to Wear with an artist inspired twist! Our designer showcase this issue belongs to NX-Nardcotix and their lovely shoes. Get ready for battle! Our Ways to Wear has a surprise: models vs. bloggers, tell us who YOU think styled it best.
