Redeux Holiday Season

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're hurrying to the REDEUX Holiday Season shopping event, which is in its final days since it wraps up on the 31st, same as 2025 really. There are special deals at every booth, and nearly everyone is offering free gifts for the Redeux VIP group which is also free to join. I had a great time exploring, and when I realized I was being serenaded by little drunken carolers - a longtime favorite decoration of mine and Xan's - I simply had to bring him to share the merriment :) I've always enjoyed the REDEUX events, and I wish I'd found about this one a little sooner to give everyone more time to stop by!

My first look of the evening is our Faida - Aisha Black Sky dress. This gift includes sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. The golden belt is attached and keeps the front and rear panels in place, both of which have a celestial pattern in a similar gold hue. 

If the cold weather has you longing for a trip to the nearest beach, be sure to grab the #Benk Roxanne Bikini #Pink Polka Dot gift for your virtual suitcase! She's a classic style string bikini with lots of ties and sweet bows, and who can resist those playful polka dots? The top and bottom are separate pieces, designed to fit Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. The name Roxanne is one I've always liked, with Roxy or Roxie as a fun nickname and as suitable for your best friend as for their new puppy or kitten :) 

The holiday spirit is still thriving with our $1L zOOm - Christmas Time Gift, especially since there is so much of it represented on our antlers! Those decorated deer antlers are a part of the gift, with my favorite part being the chickadee because I'm a crazy bird lady at heart ;) As for the wrap dress, that is provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The red and green are such traditional colors for this time of year!

Next I changed into the charming [Oh!] Rompette gift, which is a delightful shorts romper for easy one-piece dressing. There are Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, so at this point I also switched from my Lara 5.3 to my Lara X body. Some brands are creating for just one or the other, so I like to be flexible and ready to change bodies with a few simple clicks. That's why I have outfits saved in my inventory with each body and HUD, and now with Firestorm I can favorite them but I haven't quite gotten around to that just yet ;) The pattern on this romper is a teeny floral print, but it reminds me of sequins or confetti at first glance.

My final look tonight is our sweet treat from Manikin, called Q-Tees Tank Top - Holidays. It has a slightly asymmetrical hem trimmed in white, and says "Holidays are for Martinis and Mistletoe" on the front :) So true confession time, I've never had a martini in my life, LOL, but I've definitely enjoyed a few smooches beneath the mistletoe in my time. When I reached my 20s, wine coolers were the popular "girl drink", and the friends I went out to bars and clubs with were more into sweet mixed drinks so my favorite was amaretto and cranberry juice. I don't disagree with the sentiment here though, spending the season indulging (responsibly of course!) in a little adult beverage and a little kissing sounds perfect! If you love this top too, you'll be glad to find it in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. 

It was a quiet weekend here, no farmers market but I had therapy this evening so I am in a positive frame of mind :) Sometimes we do these deep dives into my past, and it can be painful but cathartic to get reassuring feedback on past decisions and how I've chosen to heal. I'm ready for this chaotic year to end so we can work on a fresh new one. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FaMESHed X Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings us to a very special event, the FaMESHed X Event and their 12th anniversary round. The X does distinguish it from the traditional branch of the event, and it is much more adult themed so the region and items for sale are for mature audiences only :) If you'd like to take a walk on the wild side, there are free gifts at many booths for the FaMESHed group (same as the original event) which is free to join. This event is open until the 10th of November, so you've got time to visit if you are still overwhelmed by all the Halloween stuff ;) Just look for the black gift boxes propped against the wall between booths for your goodies. By the way, I've kept my photos here relatively tame, so you don't have to be afraid to scroll.

My first look of the evening is our [Din] Elaine pink group gift. It includes the dress and a pair of panties, each in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There's also a HUD tucked in with this gift, so we can choose from 8 colors each for the top and panties, and we can adjust the shine, opacity, and turn materials on/off. I really like the scalloped lace trim, and the way the neckline frames the cleavage.

I've got a little secret underneath my clothing tonight, LOL, a set of pasties from the marketplace :) They are the [ Embox ] // Modest Heart Pasties - TINTABLE, a free gift that includes BOM layers in 3 sizes for the upper and 1 for the lower. They came in handy for the [LM] Gabriella Dress - Emerald event gift from Lil Meow, as it is rather revealing :) Such a gorgeous color, isn't it? There are Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, as well as a metals HUD that offers 3 hues each for the top chain, belt chain, and chains 1, 2, and 3 that drape across the left hip. 

Another irresistible gift is our Faida - Gina batty dress, whose name teases you with the fantastic pattern of an entire colony of bats. It fits Lara X, Legacy, Nhumana, Nhuma Momma, Reborn, Waifu, and Lively mesh bodies. Lively is new to me, but I think it's an Nhumana mod? Since the next treat I'm about to share also includes that size, I am hopeful that I'll be learning more about it in the near future. 

Our [Oh!] Booo! Gift is a really fun way to celebrate the spooky season while showing your flirty side. There are sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Lively, Nhuma, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, Waifu, Waifu Hall, and Dreamgirl mesh bodies. Two of these in addition to Lively are new to me, the last two, so I'm once again eager to find out more about them :) The pattern is a terrific choice for this time of year, with sketches of pumpkins, owls, brooms, cats and more.

My final look this evening is the Blackstone - Carol Lingerie - Burgundy gift. You can tell through the lace that I'm still wearing my pasties, lol, which you certainly don't have to do in private. This whole outfit is all one piece, in sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. It also includes a HUD so we can change the gems on the garter clasps to our choice of 20 colors, and there are 6 metals for all those rings linking things together. Burgundy is such a luxurious color choice here too, taking a traditional red and deepening it for a little extra oomph :) 

It was a pretty good weekend here, and I enjoyed visiting the farmers market on Saturday. My anxiety got thrown into high gear on the way home, but generally I have to focus on the fact that I got through it :) One of my favorite vendors there is closing her business in a few weeks, but she may be able to return if her health improves in the future. There is so much more going on in SL for me to explore and share, which is always exciting, and Xan and I finished the Twisted Hunt's end game so I'm ready to show you some of their prizes soon. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

WIP Event Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have more gifts to see from the WIP Event for their free group's members. The participating designers are pulling out all the stops for the first anniversary celebration, and you can find generous gifts in white bags at most of the displays. I always enjoy seeing what they offer for a special occasion like this, along with their usual selections for sale. It can be a great way to discover new favorite stores, and it is an extra reason to stop by the event during its final week. 

For my first look this evening, I chose the TO.KISKI - Nina Mini Dress & Shoes Black which is one of two gifts you will find at WIP from them. The single sleeved dress with pretty lace comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies, while the coordinating heels are for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. I accessorized with the gift from [oh!] which is a choker with their logo on the front. It is easy to resize if you need to, just give it a click, which I actually find easier to do by right clicking it in my inventory so my AO movement doesn't make me click elsewhere instead.

I did mention that there are two gifts from TO.KISKI, and this beautiful dress is the second one called Kami Mini dress New / - Aqua Soft. The neckline is low and draped, then tied in the back as a halter. The split skirt has a daring side view! Our gift is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. 

Speaking of plunging necklines, how sexy is this Rubber Dress from zOOm? :) It makes me want to run my finger along the skirt to hear the squeak! The gift includes Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes, with a 9 color HUD so you can choose your shiny shade. Based on the way it is reflecting the light, I think this dress is materials enabled. 

[meowhi] has a playful treat for us, their Bunny Bodysuit GIFT. There are versions with and without the tail each in several colors (black, blue, green, pink, white) and sized for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I am wearing the green on the left and the blue with tail on the right, and I'm enjoying the straight across strapless neckline and boy short legs. 

For my final look of the evening, I changed into the charming ::WILD:: Fashion Shelly Dress (Purple) gift. The textures of satin and sparkles bring a party feeling, and I am fond of bows so the bodice decoration made me smile too. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I added something shiny to my wrists too, the [LIZ] Samara Bracelet [Silver] from LIZIAAH. These adjustable cuff bracelets have built in resize scripts, and I have always been a fan of the combo of silver and black for jewelry or just about anything for that matter. You could wear just one for a hint of glam, or go ahead and add both as I have here.

What a weird day...when I got brought back to the exam room for my doctor's visit, the power went out so the nurse had to take my vitals with only the light of a flashlight to guide her, LOL. The power came back about 20 minutes later, and the appointment went well from there. I have a 3-page printout of blood tests to have drawn soon, then we can adjust my meds and decide what to do from there. I was impressed that the doctor was genuinely concerned about my mental health as much as physical, ensuring that I am holding up through the stress that is life these days for most of us. She is a very kind person and it showed. The weather was surprisingly nice, and it was generally a good day. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
