Dancing With Myself

Hiya everyone! Tonight we take another trip to the Uber event and their birthday round, where there are dozens of free gifts for everyone with no group needed. It is such a popular event that the main sim and even the camera sims (Harajuku and Cam Sim) might still be crowded, so please continue to try every now and then if they are full. You have over 3 weeks to go, as it is open until the 22nd of September, so there is no rush :) The gifts are in pretty boxes with gold and black balloons tied to each, so you can see them easily even if you are camming over from one of the additional sims. I also have a special offer to show you from Entice, that you can find at this round of Cosmopolitan. It is an impressively versatile outfit with plenty of choices for any mood or budget. As for my title, I went completely random and had a Billy Idol song pop into my head for unknown reasons. 


First we have the gift from Storybook, which is their Tymina in Blush dress. It has been crafted for the Maitreya mesh body, with several crossed straps to connect the top and fluttery skirt. The soft color has a satiny sheen to it, for an exquisite effect.


This charming dress is the Charlize Dress Lilac gift from Valentina E. It is also provided in a Maitreya size, and has a built in belt that matches perfectly. I like the deep neckline, which would probably frame your favorite necklace quite nicely. 


Time to get flirty this weekend with the gift from SEUL! Their Lilith Swimsuit - Navy Gift is somewhere between a bikini and a one-piece, since it provides similar coverage to a bikini but is intricately tied together to be a single piece. It comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I continued the flirty look with some body art, the .:Vegas:. Tattoo Applier Take Over 213 gift. This is a unisex gift, tattoos on both arms (sleeves) all the way down to the hands that even include skulls on the knuckles and just a flash of red among all the dark ink. There are various options for how dark or fresh you want the tattoo to appear (light, medium, dark) and each is provided in system/BOM layers along with appliers for Altamura, Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, Signature, and Slink. 


A trio of gifts appear in this look, starting with the top from VINYL called Salt Cami - Uber Gift August 2020. It is a soft grey with delicate straps and a tiny ruffle at the bottom hem, and comes in Alice, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The upper left reads #VINYLBABE so there is a bit of advertising happening there ;) The striking skirt is the GIZ SEORN gift, Simply named Uber Anniversary Gift. It has an attached belt in vibrant deepest pink that almost appears red, and picks up one of the many colors in the embroidered design both front and back, beautifully. I am also enjoying another tattoo gift here, the Doris TaTToo Black from [CAROL G]. You can choose your opacity (35%, 50%, 75%, or 100%) to determine how dark it appears, and each one is available as a system/BOM layer or on the appliers for Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink. The center of the design, both front and back, comes down to a similar point as the top, both of which are tucked slightly beneath my shirt. 


For my last look this evening, we head over to the Cosmopolitan event where we are visiting the Entice display. Their offering this round is this adorable Ruby Tuesday outfit, whose top and skirt each come in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya, with an extra Maitreya Petite for the top. There are individual colors/designs available for $250L each (regularly $300L) or you can pick a fatpack of Dots, Prints, Solids, or Stripes for $499L each marked down from $599L. Each fatpack has 10 choices via HUD, 2 of which are fatpack exclusives. Maybe you are thinking even bigger? How about a Mega Fatpack of all 4 fatpacks, all for just $1199L which is discounted from the $1499L full price. The best part about fatpack HUDs is the ability to change various sections of the outfit independently, so the top has options for the main and ruffles 1, 2, and 3 (on the right I changed the first and third ruffle to a slightly lighter teal) and on the skirt you can change the main skirt, two ruffles, buttons, and built in panties each individually. The possibilities are endless, and I am so enamored with this outfit ♥. Cosmo is open until September 5th, so please stop by and grab a demo and then enjoy the choices. The link to Cosmopolitan is in my ending credits, and Entice's mainstore is linked in the column on the right as always.

This has been a frustrating weekend for me on a personal level so far, but in the grand scheme of things I am still feeling cautiously optimistic. There are so many bigger things in the world to worry about, although my time here blogging and in SL is my escape. We really are fortunate to have a virtual community like this, where we can safely explore and find friends. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
