SL23B Is Golden

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm sharing some SL23B gifts from the Golden region of Shop & Hop, one of my favorite events for finding new stores, longtime favored brands, and lots of discounts to make things budget-friendly. There are 24 regions (18 moderate and 6 adult) in our shopping area, with 20 stores apiece, for a total of 480 to explore and enjoy. That's why we have until the 19th of July, lol, as it is a lot to take in :) My advice is to bring friends to add to the fun, and use the FabFree spreadsheet that they've so kindly worked hard to create so you can ensure that you don't miss anything. I usually stick to the right, keep the gifts in folders by region, and make sure I grab landmarks for mainstores where possible if there is store credit as a gift that must be used at said mainstore.


My first look this evening is the lovely AlaFolie VERO Gift. This saucy dress has a lace inset and a diagonal ruffled hemline. There are Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Senra Jamie mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD with 3 colors. You can apply the color of your choice to the entire dress first (as I did on the left) and then choose a different one for the trim/lace if you wish (right). I definitely appreciate the versatility :)


Another gift with several options is the Blue Blood - Lara Outfit I'm enjoying here. It consists of the top and skirt, each in black, blue, gray, green, purple, and red, all in Legacy, Perky, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing. We even receive a HUD with 4 metals for the buttons. I'm wearing the red top and skirt on the left, but went with the blue top and green skirt on the right for fun :) The black lace trim is consistent on all pieces, and I love the bows where the straps connect to the top. 


Summer is certainly upon us, and the Jack Spoon: Sel Bikini set - white gift is a fantastic way to enjoy the warm weather. Our bikini top has bold 3D flowers on each cup, and the bikini bottom is wrapped in a snowy white sarong that is linked to it as one mesh piece. Both of these will fit Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies just right. The lace trim on the right side where the sarong is tied in place may be a subtle detail, but it certainly caught my eye in the best way.


So you've got plans that involve a beach or pool, but you want to crank up the sensuality even higher? Our [F.C.O.] Dreza Bikini Black & Red gift is here to fulfill that wish :) It includes the top, bottom, and chains, all in sizes to fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn bodies. Since the chains are separate they are optional, so we can wear this look a couple different ways which is always a plus. Red and black is a smoking hot color combo for any time of year too, even if it is a minimal amount of fabric ;)


One last look of the evening, we have the gorgeous Ghee - SL23B GIFT dress to tempt us. They have a gold sequined column dress for us, in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star body sizing. The black edging up top really shows off the gold even more, and what an appropriate region to find this gift in :) I feel like an award statue, LOL! Okay upon reflection (pun intended) I've decided that we all look even prettier than an award statue in this treat. Oscars don't have particularly stylish hair for one thing, and we get to play with makeup that they could only dream of.

Whew, have you ever found yourself arguing with AI? Sadly I can say that I have, as I share my blog posts on the Book of Faces and they have taken to notifying me that they can no longer recommend my page to new audiences. No reason given other than not conforming to community standards, and I do not think that any of my content is violent or highly sexual or anything that should be an issue. Eventually I realized that it's probably my #slfreebie and #slfreebies tags, as they mention content that people don't like such as scam giveaways. I promise these are not false advertising! Their technology (AI) keeps flagging me, and then that same tech keeps rejecting my appeals. I tried reasoning with their AI in the chat thingy on their support page, but I think you can guess how that went. I stopped using those hashtags but I think the damage is done, so I'll still post there but I would suggest checking my Social Media tag above and following me elsewhere too if you'd like :) Eventually they will probably decide to just close my FB page altogether, and if you're following me there I apologize in advance if you no longer see my content there. Otherwise I'm planning an outing tomorrow that has me stressed to the gills, so I am taking the evening off from blogging. I know it'll be okay, I just get very worked up ahead of time. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
