Around The Grid in 80 Days

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I explored the Around The Grid in 80 Days 10 Hunt, and yes that means this is the tenth annual round of this wonderful tradition. There are prizes hidden inside a stack of suitcases for $1L apiece at participating stores, with the option to buy each prize for $25L at the hunt object at the sign if you prefer. Sometimes we just don't have the time or inclination to hunt, and sometimes a particular prize might be something we really want but cannot seem to locate so purchasing can save time. I did manage to find all of these as the $1L hunt objects though, by following the hints on the hunt website where you can also find all landmarks and preview images of most of the prizes. The 80 days of the hunt started in mid-July and continue until September 30th, so you have plenty of time to unpack (find) your suitcases and enjoy these prizes!


My first stop this evening was Grumble, where I found their Flirt Skirt/Top for just one linden. The top has those gold hearts built in as pasties, and the skirt's hem is flipped up on one side very flirtatiously :) Each piece is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink Hourglass mesh body sizing. Did you notice the unicorn donuts on the skirt print?


AdelleArts is offering their simply named ATG 2022 Hunt Prize, a full stylish outfit. The black leather wrap dress fits Belleza Isis, Maitreya, Physique, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, while the matching ankle boots are provided in Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic mid sizing. There is an Omega applier for sheer black tights that did not work for me due to a temporary SL glitch, and also provided but not shown is a black bob hairstyle. 


I also picked up the prize at Georg Bellic Design, whose single $1L gift includes both male and female clothing offerings. For the ladies we have ~GBD~ ATG 10 Gift Miami in two versions, each in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh body sizes. They have some color variations as well as transparency differences between the two, so you can try them both on and decide which works for any specific event or destination :) The matching men's shirt also has 2 versions and there are classic, Gianni, Jake, Legacy, and Slink sizes provided in each. They are all delightful for the summer or warm climate areas if you are traveling around the grid ;)


Continuing with a summery theme, I next slipped into the ::REA:: Leia Swim hunt prize. The suit itself comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with the sarong includes in 6 standard mesh sizes (XXS, XS, S, M, M2, L). There is also a HUD with 6 textures for the swimsuit, 6 for the sarong, and 3 metallic hues for the ring that holds the sarong together. We can mix and match our colors, or wear the swimsuit without the sarong for variety too. 


For my final look this evening I visited The Sissy Bar in their new mainstore location, where I am glad to have found their (TSB) Around The Grid Hunt tank set. The tank top and shorts are linked into one piece, in sizes for Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The image on the top looks like a sailing ship tattoo, and there are license plates from all sorts of places appearing in the pattern of our shorts. Love it! 

The weather is still steamy here, and there were thunderstorms this evening that seem to have moved along now (whew!). I've been exploring all sorts of things in SL to try to decide what to blog this week, and I am excited about a few possibilities :) There is just about always something new happening there, or we can rediscover a classic favorite to see what they have been up to lately. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
