Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is another mini tour of a region from SL23B Shop & Hop, the 23rd birthday of Second Life and its shopping areas. All of these free gifts are from the Buttercup region which is one of the 6 Adult areas, so please keep that in mind as you may see some mature themed items for sale. I mention it not as a judgment call but as a heads-up to anyone who either is not set up in SL to visit adult regions or simply prefers to avoid that type of content. It's an integral part of SL for many people to have the ability to explore things that are not as simple in RL, and that does include some mature topics. That said, these gifts are not particularly naughty, and I'm even wearing the nipple covers included with my skin so they stay safely covered :) Remember, an excellent way to keep track of all the SL23B gifts is with the FabFree spreadsheet that you can sort by type, region, and more by the tabs on the bottom left.
My first look of the evening does have me thinking about the Golden Age of Hollywood theme for SL23B, which I am absolutely enjoying. This is our EF - Emilija Dress - Gold gift from Effervescence, and it looks gorgeous in either traditional (shown) or PBR textures. Each of these is provided in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I was having trouble with the PBR on the lace sides with my lighting, and I don't know if my rented skybox has reflection probes that would help with that so I just stuck to the traditional texturing :)
This is where my skin's nipple covers really came in handy, LOL, as the [C.YFashion]*NAYA*Set Gift has a sheer lace tube top that will show that darker color fairly easily. This lingerie is actually all one piece, and will fit Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 6 colors each for the top and thong bottom, so we can get playful with the mixing and matching.
I noticed a lot of tattoos among the adult regions' gifts, maybe because that allows them to show images of the body art without blurring any of the body? The DO INK TATTOO ENTRELACS FLORALS is a beautiful design of flowers and vines down both front and back of each leg, with several BOM layers to choose from. We've got fade, fresh (shown) and medium opacities, with the left leg, the right leg, or both legs as I'm wearing above. I usually go with the darkest option for photographs to make them more visible, but usually choose a medium one for routine wear :)
Next I swapped to the Echo & Aura - In The Stars BOM Tattoo which is one of 2 gifts I picked up at their display. We've still got a flower in the center here, with lots of stars and ribbons. I love the touches of blue! We receive upper and lower layers, in faded and fresh versions. If you look closely you can tell that some of the upper tattoo is hiding beneath the clothing, trailing up that right ribcage to the front of the underarm area. All of our artwork appears on the right side of the body, so you can mix it with other tattoos on the left side if you wish.
My final look of the night is this brand's other generous gift, the Echo & Aura - Art Deco Nails - Stiletto. We know that I'm a huge fan of nail art, so it isn't surprising that I couldn't wait to show this off :) These fantastic mesh nails are designed for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh hands, and all you need to do is hide the body's built in nails and add these to your outfit. The gold striping creates a lovely Art Deco look that really suits the theme of the event, but also just looks incredible with just about any outfit.
How was everyone's weekend? Mine was warm and busy but decent :) The farmers market was nice, even if there weren't many vendors, and the nap afterwards was so good. Is that how tell you're getting old, when you enjoy napping so much? LOL! I've got lots to consider after my therapy session this evening, but that isn't a bad thing by any means. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
