SLMB Event Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you back to the SLMB Event, the shopping event associated with the SLMB (^^SL Mesh Body) group. There is a small fee of $9L to join, most likely to keep out scammers and spammers. You know, like the 1 day old accounts that post to every group they're in, asking for a $100L loan until tomorrow? *eyeroll* The chat and group notices are great sources of information, all the details on sales and new releases from the designers who take part. Now many of them do have SLMB group gifts in their main stores, but tonight we're going to just one location for all of the gifts you see here :) That's because the event has a gift section that covers 2 floors, all of these being on the lower one where you will land. Take the stairs up to the outside if you want even more treats! By the way, if you do see one of those new accounts asking to borrow lindens in a group chat, please don't reply in the group as they are designed to go through and join all your other groups if you do. Just report them and block them, not that it really helps when they just create endless new accounts...also please don't feel sorry for the bots and never give them any money.

I started the evening in our ::T.B.O.M:: Valeria Outfit Top&Jeans gift from The Best Of Me. It combines casual with flirtatious, thanks to the cropped top and low cut jeans that hug every curve. Each of these are provided in fitmesh standard sizes as well as Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. The top has a HUD with 5 texture choices (click it for a popup blue menu of numbers) and the jeans have a similar HUD with 2 traditional jeans coloring options, both of which you can see above. It makes me want to add sandals, a belly ring, and/or some belly area tattoos or a lower back tat :)

Another outfit I simply cannot resist is the lovely Carola*june 0723 gift. The halter dress and strappy heels will each fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. There are HUDs for each of them too, with the dress HUD offering 35 colors and the heels HUD offering the same 35 hues but for three separate sections. Just click something from each column to see which goes where :) 

Since summer is almost here, I am tickled pink (yep, wordplay intended) with the [Luxury] Naty Set gift and the timing of picking it up now :) The bra and pants each come in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. It gives the appearance of a pink bikini with beachy pattern (seashells, starfish, and more) layered beneath an open pair of denim shorts, and I love it! Did you notice the bikini's pattern appearing on the back pockets of the denim shorts too?

Next we have the TD SLMB 1124 treat from Taylor Designs. This pairing of crop sweater and fluttery skirt will fit your Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies with ease. The high neck and long sleeves make it fun for a cooler evening, while the sparkly patterned skirt is short enough to show off a lot of leg :)

My final look tonight is the Lara AC Dress SOFIJA GIFT BLUE. I adore the intriguing neckline, and peekaboo openings in various playful spots. The attached belt really brings things together too :) The gift consists of Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes. I think the triangular geometric pattern is a stunning match for the bold buckles too by the way.

It was a busy weekend here, but not a bad one by any means. Going out in the rain yesterday was a bit of a bummer of course, mostly because it was an unexpected shower that we were trying to avoid. Sometimes the forecast says sunny or cloudy, but the skies decide otherwise ;) Therapy was another deep dive into my past, because that's where most of my bad habits got their start. There was plenty of the Hello Kitty game to lighten my mood, and that is going really well. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MIIX Anniversary Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're celebrating the MIIX Event's 5th anniversary, with group gifts galore for their Hype Events group. It is free to join the group, and the gifts are at most of the displays in pretty purple gift bags. A few weren't set up just yet, either no contents or no script to deliver it, but I'll be checking back soon :) The deals here are always wonderful, and the brands you can find are those of very talented and generous designers. 

For my first look of the evening, I am enjoying our [Luxury] Debbie Set group gift :) The strapless top and shorts with built in belt are each included in Legacy, Perky, Pushup Nerido, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizing. There is also a HUD of course, offering 40 choices each for the top, shorts, and belt. Half the choices are solids and the other half are various patterns, which allows for a wide assortment of looks.

The sexy :::FurtaCor:::Dheart Dress can be found on the wall with the event signs and info rather than at their display, and there gifts for other groups there as well. This peekaboo dress has tiny heart-shaped holes all throughout the fabric, so that does make it somewhat see-through. There are sizes for Kalhene, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies included, along with a 12 color HUD and the valentine bear with built in hold that you see here. With the bear being an optional addition, I do still feel this dress is suitable for any time of year :) Just be sure to wear the proper undies or pasties if you're headed somewhere G rated. One of my favorite features is the intricate straps on the back, tied with a pretty bow like a sweet present.

Next I changed into the {EB} SPECIAL GIFT MIIX from Ewa Boutique. This treat has a pair of bold black roses in full bloom, one on the single shoulder and the other at the waist where the wrap skirt meets up, and it's all one piece so very easy to wear. We receive Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing of this lovely dark floral set.

Dark Salvation has a gorgeous gift waiting for us, their Shanon DS Gift. This low cut mini dress comes in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 4 sweet floral prints that are ideal for the season :) I'm a fan of flowers year round, but do get the strong connection between spring and new blossoms.

For my final look of the night, I wanted to show you a closer look at the :::FRIDANails::: gift called Nails- PINK 1- Almond. These beautiful long mesh nails have alternating solid pink nails and white with a heart pattern, for an eye-catching manicure that is so easy to wear. Just hide your body's built in nails and add the corresponding size from the folder :) They fit Belleza, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Signature Alice, and Slink hands. 

We had an intense thunderstorm whip through the area earlier this evening, but fortunately it is gone now and my power didn't blink out at all :) That would have been really inconvenient while playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure, because it doesn't autosave that I am aware of so anything we'd done so far would have poofed. We have unlocked a few more things, gotten some new quests, and got a little lost so there is some investigating to do. Meanwhile I am terrified about my dentist appointment tomorrow, which is a good time to mention that I am taking tomorrow evening off from blogging. Either I'll get there and be all nitrous-groggy when I would be blogging, lol, or I will fail to get there again and be busy sulking and trying to forgive myself. I will be back Wednesday though with more April goodies, as there are plenty to appreciate. Hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MLM Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I explored some stores who participate in the MLM Free&Offers group, so I could share some of their generous gifts here :) There is a modest $5L fee to join the group, most likely for our safety to keep out troublemakers. I really do enjoy this type of group and love tracking down all the generous gifts so I can spread the news.

My first stop was Hot Stuff, where I picked up the flirty Dafne Dress as our gift. The light purple floral pattern with deeper hued trim absolutely caught my eye, and I love the way the style ensures that every curve is cradled and accentuated. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Pushup Nerido, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy, and Mounds mesh bodies. 

Keep that group tag active and pop on over to YoUnique Couture, so you can claim their Brigitta Duo upstairs with the other group goodies. This sleek mini dress is provided in Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn sizes, with a HUD that lets us pick from the two vibrant colors seen above. Did you notice the sheer lace panels down each side? You'll probably need strapless panties, aka C-string, to wear beneath but if you're like me you probably have dozens already in your inventory :) 

Another fantastic choice for vivid colors is the Selma Dress by BlackbirdLace gift. The diagonal hem and single shouldered style look amazing with the large roses on the pattern, dark and dramatic in the best way :) We receive sizes for Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Squeezed mesh bodies in this treat.

Next I shimmied into the bold [Luxury] Livia Dress Gift. It's got lots of sex appeal and a sheen that gives me the impression of latex, with unique cutouts and layers combined into one easy-to-wear piece. There are Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes provided. 

For my final look of the evening, I visited DM Design and picked up their DM ~ Skauna Dress Gift MLM. This blousy strapless mini has a separate belt so you can decide if you wish to wear it with or without, and both of them fit Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Who knew that a tiger stripe pattern looks so great in pale blue? :)

So this cold or whatever's got a hold of me, well it's decided not to let go and to get even worse. I lost my voice last night and still haven't found it again :P  As you can imagine I am awfully tired, so I may take two days off for my weekend instead of just one. Extra rest just might help me get rid of it faster. Otherwise not much to say, other than my usual wish for a beautiful day/evening and many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Weekend With SLMB

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we return to the SL Mesh Body Group Event, where we can find 2 rooms full of gifts for the SLMB group members. The rooms are ringed by stores set up by each designer, with special offers and discounted merchandise because we all deserve affordable high quality fashions :) This round of the event is open for another 2 weeks or so, which gives us plenty of time to enjoy. Be sure to use those stairs to visit both upstairs and downstairs so you don't miss out on anyone's sales or gifts!

My first look of the evening is the Bens Boutique - Cecelia Dress Hud Control group gift. This gorgeous gown has spaghetti straps that cross in the back, and it hugs our figure all the way to the hemline. There are sizes for eBody, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a 30 texture HUD that has a mix of solids and patterns for us to enjoy. The simplicity of the style means it looks fantastic no matter what you choose :)

Next I slipped into the lovely Tessa dress from Telsiope's Couture. What a playful style, flirty with that deep V neckline and dramatic diagonal hem! This gift fits eBody Reborn, Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, all with a HUD that lets us select from 10 different colors. It's sexy and versatile, and let's not forget that it is also free, so what are you waiting for?

The [Luxury] Zariah Dress gift gave me quite a chuckle when I read the "Look Up" on the top and then "Yes, I am crazy." at the hem next to the bold side slit. Before noticing the lower message I thought it was just a form of "my eyes are up here" type message, but now I think it is all to be silly and I do love good fun :) This gift consists of sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. The back is solid black with no text, so no secret messages from behind other than having a flattering booty.

I was also captivated by the Graffitiwear SL Mesh Body Group Gift because of its soft colors, floral pattern, and alluring style. The peekaboo cutout on the midriff provides a flash of underboob, with a cheeky view from behind thanks to the skirt being just a bit shorter in the back. Claim this gift and you'll receive Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature Alice, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizing. 

My final look of the night is the tempting *Suna Design* gift of their S-Elza fatpack. The gathered wrap dress has some sheer fabric on the right front midriff, and is clipped with a gold buckled strap on the left to cinch the waist beautifully. There are sizes for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included, along with a 20 color HUD for changing up the look with a quick click. The satiny material is a fun choice for the weekend, just saying :)

My day was stormy, and I wound up not going to dinner at my parents' tonight which is a bummer but not as much as missing the farmers market tomorrow. With this much anxiety I am just not up to going, so things are less than cheerful here at the moment. No worries though, time in SL with Xan will take my mind off the RL stuff, and I will be resting on Saturday. All of Sunday looks stormy again from like 3AM on into the next day, yikes! My sleep earlier was interrupted by 2 huge thunder claps where the second one sizzled, startling me and well that isn't great for anxiety ;) The forecast has changed a few times already though so fingers crossed that things stay safe and fairly calm. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Get in the Miix

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are heading to the Miix Event, which is open until the 20th of February so plenty of time to visit their Valentine's round and treat yourself. There are specially priced offers at every display, and are many group gifts as well for their Hype Events group (free to join). I noticed several tattoos that could be unisex, in addition to a gift or two of clothing for the guys, so please don't assume this is a ladies only affair :) The group gifts are found in stacks of alphabet blocks that spell out LOVE, which I think is a perfect choice for a February event round.

My first look this evening combines two thoughtful group gifts, and I am very pleased with the results :) The tops are from the . Yami Yurei . T-Shirt Jessy gift, which consists of 6 versions each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. The one on the left is called S-girl and I'm wearing Fish on the right. The halter harness is built into all versions, and I like the way the left side is knotted up high to show off a flash of belly. The lovely skirt is the [FLIRT] Valentine's Day Skirt - GIFT, a mauve high waisted mini in Cinnamon, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn body sizing. The seams help it hug our curves, and the delicate polka dot texture is a very pretty touch. 

I chose the Black version of the Yami Yurei gift shirt to wear with this next gift from [Luxury] called Love Skirt. It is a daringly short, pale denim mini skirt with the word Love among hearts and bows/arrows on its texture, very timely and cute :) The gift includes sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature Alice, TMP, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. 

Do you need a hug? If so, please claim the *KR* gift which is this precious LOVE ME TEDDY BEAR PINK. There are versions with and without the heart particles included, both with this built in hold pose. I couldn't resist sharing a snapshot of the one with particles of course, amid a cloud of bright pink hearts, but even if you prefer not to poof hearts your 'without' version has the same texturing with large hearts on the paws, belly, and even cheeks as blush.

Next I had some fun experimenting with love potions, thanks to {Cleo Designs} and their Potion Bottle gift. There are 4 versions each with and without particles so a total of 8 bottles included, and I must admit that the particles look better in person than in a still photo. They have a swirling magic quality that you'll want to see in person :) Each bottle has a holding pose built in as demonstrated above, and a little tag to label them. Personally I think I would do well in Potions class at Hogwarts, as long as the teacher wasn't a bully of course. 

My final look offers a sentiment that I expect many of you will share, at least in part, since video games are fun year-round. The dress is our Videogames Sweaterdress gift from Corvus, with slits on the hips and long crimson sleeves that contrast the black body of the dress wonderfully. The front reads "V is for Valentine Video Games", and if you do not have a valentine this year it would be tempting to plunge into a virtual world of a video game. Even if you do have a valentine, time spent gaming can also be shared or just appreciated as a hobby with or without your sweetheart. Now on the right you'll notice a heart in my hand, and that is another Miix group gift for us to enjoy. It's the Magnetic - My Heart is Yours treat, and all you have to do is right click - add to hold it with its built in bento pose. Then you can click to turn on or off the heart particles that float rather far away from our hands/body to really spread the love. If you're all particled out, LOL, just click and turn it off, easy peasy. 

This evening I became aware of another weather event coming up that might delay my birthday dinner again, since Friday looks like it will have dangerous ice conditions that would prevent being able to get anywhere safely. I am naturally disappointed since I enjoy spending time with my parents (oddity, I know LOL) and was looking forward to that Pad Thai for last week that was thwarted. Mother Nature thinks I should not celebrate this year I guess. However my hockey team won a second game in a row (after 13 losses) tonight so that was certainly more positive :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
