Pride at Home

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am delighted to invite you to the Pride at Home event, where the LGBTQ+ community and allies *waves happily* can come together and celebrate Pride month. There are special people in my life who are part of the community and have struggled for acceptance, so it means a lot to me to see such love and kindness at events like this. Support is crucial, and we all deserve acceptance of who we love or what gender we are. I picked up several free gifts at the Pride at Home sim, no group needed, and will be sharing their rainbow-y goodness in this post :) The event is open for the entire month of June, so there is plenty of time to visit as often as you wish. As always, I may reference sizes as men's or women's but that is merely the avatar build category to help inform which type of mesh body or shape they will best fit. I respect that not everyone fits into general categories. Okay, let the rainbow fun begin!


*NeverWish* has a trio of t-shirts for us as their gift, called Love is Love - Crop Top. There are black, rainbow, and white versions that are each provided in sizes for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. They all have the Love is Love saying emblazoned on the front in a rainbow coloring, and I am loving the tie-dye look of the rainbow shirt! Naturally I couldn't resist wearing them with the LRD Samira jeans Gift from Loud Rebel Design, with its multicolored stripes that end in a paint drip design on the thigh, into a neutral grey denim tone. This gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. You may have noticed my eyeshadow, another glorious rainbow which is part of the Keymoko - Pride Set Freebie. This includes system/BOM layers of rainbow eyeshadow and highlighter (seen in upcoming photos in this post) as well as a tintable cheek hearts layer. They look terrific, and really do bring an extra pop of color for June or any time of year.


I kept the LRD jeans on and the Keymoko eyeshadow, but changed tops to the Pride 2020 GIFT from 28LA. The fur comes in black and white versions (left above and right) that both have rainbow sleeves, along with our black tank top that says PRIDE. Each are included in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes. For the men, there is a coat and a top that are each sized for Gianni and Jake bodies, so this is worth picking up for just about everyone :)


This next look could be assumed to be a single gift or from the same designer, but I was actually just lucky enough to pair up two different goodies. The shirt is the Pride Tee [Gift] from Palette, with a soft rainbow across the front with two strategically placed hearts in rainbow stripes. The gift includes sizes for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Love Body, Love Momma, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The cute panties are from ROULY, their Be My Lover Thong - Pride Gift. Inside you will find Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. It is cut high in the rear in traditional thong style, but you have all seen quite enough of my bum on this blog so no rear view tonight ;) I would also like to draw your attention to my left cheek, where you can see another part of the Keymoko gift. This is their rainbow highlighter, included with the eyeshadow I already showed above and a pair of cheek hearts that you can edit and tint. The highlighter is in the remainder of tonight's images here.


Blueberry is so generous in general, so I was not surprised to see that their gift is two amazing bikini styles. This is the "Splash" of their Splish Splash - Pride Pack, with top and bottom each provided in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is a HUD for Splash that offers 9 textures each on 3 buttons- one for both at once, then a row for the top and another for the bottoms so you can change them separately if you prefer. There are also 7 metal choices, on/off for the ruffles, and Splash has a humorous Wedgie option on its HUD that includes an animation for picking it out. You can turn the animation off and leave it unpicked as I did on the right above so you could see, that left side is just slightly drifting its way into where it does not belong. I am also holding another gift, this one from DAZED. called Pride Phone Pride at Home EDT. It has a hold pose as seen on the left above, and there is a resize script built in that you can access just by clicking the phone. 


For my final look of the evening, I changed into the Splish bikini from Blueberry's thoughtful gift. Its top and bottom are included in the same sizes as Splash, and it has a similar HUD with 9 textures each and 7 metals, with the ruffles on/off option that I used to turn them off on the right. I must admit that I get confused by the various pride flags, but I believe I have non-binary on the left and pansexual on the right here. There is a lovely amount of representation among the textures offered, and the bikini is a terrific nod to Pride month being the beginning of summer so we should take time to frolic in the sun :) I haven't been to a beach in RL in years, but would gratefully slip into a pool right about now. 

I enjoyed a visit to my parents' for dinner, and am looking forward to my first trip to the farmers market in several weeks. Life has been weird lately, LOL, but I am definitely grateful to be able to return to one of my favorite places and chat with the awesome people. The tasty treats are part of the appeal too of course ;) I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
