Hiya everyone! Tonight is a perfect time to recognize those of you who are not fans of Valentine's Day, and would like some free gifts to reflect that :) I visited the Cupids Curse event and was blown away by the number of designers taking part, and the region is decorated in Goth, anti-Valentine type style which will make many darkened hearts go pitter-patter. A really fun touch is that the columns next to the displays with a hanging anatomically correct heart are there to distribute gifts to all, just give each heart a click. Some are set for sale for $0L, others deliver the gift on touch, and a few were not set up quite yet; but the event is open until the 8th of March so there is plenty of time for those to be remedied. Please be sure to follow all the paths and stairs, as there are three levels of this event to enjoy. I have had times in my life when I adored Valentine's Day but plenty of years when I was more of a skeptic, just done with all the mushy stuff, so I can see both points of view and respect it all. That does mean you'll see more pink and red and hearts here too, just not exclusively. Please note that these gifts lean towards the adult side of things, so these images leave less to the imagination than typical for me.
My first look of the evening is two gifts paired playfully together. The top is our //Rowers// Frida Hoddie Fatpack, a cropped sweatshirt in sizes for Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. There is also a HUD included that offers 6 colors each for the shirt and the details. I couldn't resist wearing it with the [APPETITE] Valentine-Seni Gift Shorts, high waisted with more fun stripes :) These cuties come in eBody Reborn and Legacy sizes, with a +bulge version for each. I got such a kick out of the hearts on the rear, pierced with an arrow, so you can see that Cupid got here and cursed our booty ;)
Our gift from Uni-qu3: is their :*Aknaa dress*:Red: which is a sheer delight, quite literally! The sparkly see-through dress and solid fingerless gloves are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. It is so handy to be able to choose with or without sleeves, or even peel off those sleeves seductively.
The Uni-qu3 dress has a cutout that made me realize it was just right to share another gift, our Orphic + Heart Tattoo v1. It looks to be symbolic of the three of swords tarot card, which indicates heartbreak or emotional pain, so that is spot on for the Cupids Curse event. We receive BOM layers in 50, 80, and 100% opacities, so we can choose how fresh or faded we wish our ink to appear.
Next I might have gotten a little carried away by combining three gifts in one look ;) The pasties are the SYNAPSE STORE - Noire Pasties Gift which are designed to fit Legacy and Reborn bodies, with a HUD to select from 4 colors. The heart shape is a fun nod to the season, don't you think? They cover up just enough to still show off our (GH) Cupid GIFT tattoo from Ghux, which is a simple BOM layer with several small images on our chest and abdomen. Working our way down, the remaining treat I'm eager to tell you about is our nope. nara solids - cupid set shorts. These low rise shorts have a solid colored trim and heart pattern on the main fabric, all in your choice of 5 color combos via the enclosed HUD. The shorts will fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies.
My final look this evening is a flirty romper called [.KK.] Michele Romper - Flower Lace. This treat would make great lingerie, thanks to the diaphanous lace and the deep V neckline that leads to a heart shaped clasp :) It is designed for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and comes with a HUD that offers 24 colors each for the body and trim. I purposely avoided red this time, but hot pink trim is making an appearance for a spicy nod to the holiday I suppose.
Whew, the winter storm whizzed through without too much damage, as we got about 4" here and the rain all day tomorrow should wash things away. The temperature being above freezing (just by a few degrees) should help with that too. I tried the SL mobile app on an android tablet that is not exactly the newest or most powerful by any means, and it was so bad it was comical. I have a newer iPad that I'll try later, just to see if that helps any. I tried both my main and alt accounts, and the main (premium) did slightly better...she even rezzed as an actual avi and not just an outline of a human! I was running all around the house because I apparently don't know how to walk, just run...I have 2 cats and 2 dogs at the house which rezzed for my main account eventually but not for the alt. It took about 10 minutes for the majority of textures to appear. There must be an instructional video I can watch to see what I did wrong because I am really clueless with it, yet managed to amuse myself :) So I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
