Shopping at SL16B Gilded Sim

Hiya everyone! Tonight you will see a sampling of the gifts available for everyone who visits the SL16B event (Second Life 16th Birthday) where the presents are for the residents. I am taking things sim by sim since there are 5 entire sims dedicated to the shopping alone, and tonight's can all be found on the Gilded sim. The generous designers are offering discounted merchandise in addition to free gifts, so there are plenty of reasons to brave the crowds and come celebrate.

My first look is from *Vanilla Bae* called Catalina Dress, in a special version for the SL16B event. There are PG and Adult versions, each in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and Legacy for the classic avatars. The adult version has a Strip Me feature, where clicking brings up a menu to set private, public, or you can add a Master with permission to strip the dress in 6 stages. 

::UNA:: has a gift for us too, their Vera White dress in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizing. It has a delightful tulip style to its sheer skirt, which can provide a bit of a surprise from the rear view. 

This cute outfit is the gift from Baiastice, SleepDress & Panties in 4 colors by HUD. The panties are linked to the dress so it all wears as one piece, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The included HUD lets you choose from 4 background colors, all with a pretty floral design.

When you visit the Blueberry display, you will find a gift for SL16B and another gift for Pride Month, which look terrific worn together but can also be paired with whatever you might desire. The top is their Pride Shirts Wet/Dry, and include half wet, full wet, and dry versions. Each comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with a bra HUD that offers 21 colors (visible through the wet versions) and an on/off feature. The shorts are the SL16B gift called Pride Shorts in 3 colors, with each color provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. As you can see on the right, the shorts say "LOVE IS LOVE" on the back and have rainbow wings right above the pockets. The HUD is marvelous, offering 19 fabrics and 12 leathers for the zipper line (in a black leather on the left), 30 colors to tint the ties on the sides, and 10 metals for all those rivets.

My final look this evening is Pride themed too, our gift from alme. called Mesh S&R Nails - Rainbow 2019 Rose. It consists of stiletto and rounded versions of the mesh nails, each rigged to fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink hands. There is a HUD for each shape with 3 lengths and 4 designs, which can be applied to each individual finger separately if you wish for variety within the manicure. There is also a HUD included for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and Vista, helpful for applying a matching pedicure for example. I am wearing the rounded mesh nails in medium length above.

It is going to be extra hot here the next few days, in the 90s, so I will be running fans and fighting the urge to stress out my air conditioner. The system is 20 years old and probably cannot handle full blast, and I need it to last the entire summer so the plan is to baby it a little. My thyroid problems mean I do not handle the heat too well these days though, so we shall see. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
