Ok, a couple of short tales about outfits.
First, a tale of witches.
Back in the old days, there were some Halloween costumes in VG2, witches mostly, that the users loved.
So, naturally, there were petitions to Totem to deliver a witch for VGHD.
With the thread "New halloween Animation In HD" by bigmandingo27, on January 15, 2008, the quest for a new witch started. Of course that was kinda an early petition for the date, and Rex responded latter, on the same day: "I like the idea and my best advice to you if you want that to happen is to start bugging us about it two month prior :)"
Side note: Now you know it, boys and girls, if you want something start annoying Totem with a two months anticipation period.
So, listening to Rex's advice, bigmandingo27 started bugging again with the thread "New Sexy Witch Halloween Animation In HD Let's Get The Word Out!!!!", on August 09, 2008.
On September 11, 2008. Rex announced two things that pleased a lot of people back then: That Aria Giovanni would be doing new shows on September 19, and that she would be the 2008 Halloween witch. He also asked for costume suggestions, as can be seen in his thread: "Aria Giovanni & Halloween".
Seems to me that they ended up buying only a hat and a witch cape, though, since the rest of the outfit looks like something unrelated. But the achieved effect is good.
The first two pictures are from previous VG2 witches, might be more witches or halloween outfits, i didn't search extensively. Maybe the Divine's pumpkin card is one of those. You tell.
The third picture is the one that Rex posted when announcing the Aria's comeback. The fourth is one of the many users suggestions for outfits and the fifth the lovely witch we all know.
The sixth picture depicts the 2009 halloween witch, lol.
