How Bazaar

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have more delightful group gifts from the EBP Black Friday Bazaar 6 event, where the Evil Bunny Hunts group tag "I'm Evil!" will let you claim dozens of free treats while you do some holiday shopping. The group is free to join, and it's a great way to stay informed of all the events and hunts that the organizers hold each year. I am a longtime fan and really appreciate their hard work, which helps us all save money at the events and find low priced hunt prizes at wonderful stores. As for my title, I know that quirky 90s song was called How Bizarre, not Bazaar, but well...wordplay... :) I can't resist it!

My first look is the lovely Indigenous - Dressy Top gift. This blousy tube top comes in Khara, Kupra, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu mesh body sizes. It also includes a 6 texture HUD, so we can choose from several color schemes of gradients and beautiful sparkles. 

In my next look I'm wearing two very different group gifts that have one obvious thing in common besides being found at the Bazaar...they both look terrific with the blue Delizio jeans I wore in my first photo :) On the left is the {Belissima} Laninha Top 1 gift, a playful animal print tube top in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. The hoodie on the right comes from nope., formerly ZFG, called sass- problem. It says "Not my problem" on the front, which I think we can all identify with at times, and I really like the stitched appearance of the sleeves too. We receive Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu mesh body sizing of this fun cropped sweatshirt. 

Designs by Danielle is offering the charming DbD Houndstooth Skirt and Sweater as a group gift for this event, and despite the name implying separate pieces it is actually one easy to wear piece :) There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies provided. The black trim looks great against both the houndstooth pattern and the solid pale top, don't you think?

Two gifts combined very nicely here for an edgy yet festive look. The dress is our Moon Dress gift from JR Wolf Creations, which fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh bodies. I enjoy all the fun details like keyhole opening, crescent moon embossing, and small ruffles at neckline and hem. The strapless style helps me show off the other gift, which is the [Witchery] XmaS Chest Tattoo. There are two opacity versions included, each as BOM layers, so it can be worn with most mesh bodies along with classic avatars. 

My final look of the evening is the stunning - Kinky Pinky - Cowaii Dress, which has a clever name that's a mashup of cow and kawaii :) The dress comes in sizing for Erika, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with a 6 color HUD to choose your favorite cow print hue. The straps are a beautiful aspect, holding the top and crisscrossing the partly open sides and back. I was also drawn to the high hip slits on both sides, showing extra glimpses of skin.

**Quick Mesh Body Note: I just saw on social media that the Maitreya Lara X has been released, so if you have the Maitreya Lara body (5.3 was the current version) you can click the redeliver button on the body's HUD and receive both Lara and Lara X. This is exciting news, and I'm eager to play with them when I login in a while!!!!

It was a frustrating day here, so I'll move on to say that I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, with many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts from UpNext

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I found lots of terrific gifts at the NextUp Event, which is a replacement for gachas where we can tell which items are being purchased instead of completely random. These machines show the next 3 numbers and names, so there are no surprises or buying things you do not want/need. Their event group is free to join, and nearly every designer has a large gift box (most black with different colored ribbons) in front of their display that you can click to receive your free gift. I really enjoyed my visit and hope that you will too!

My first look this evening comes from [C.Y<3Fashion] and is their *HALLOWEEN 2022* DRESS GIFT. There are 5 versions that each fit Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and Tonic Curvy mesh bodies. I'm wearing Black&Red on the left above, and Skeleton on the right, with our other varieties being Orange Cemetery, Skull, and White Blood. They are ready for a late Halloween feeling, or perhaps year-round Goth :)

Next I changed into the playful .:: L.F ::. Camila Dress gift from Luxury Fashion. We receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, along with a HUD that offers 10 textures for the dress and 6 colors for the belt. The dress choices are a mix of solids and patterns, so you get plenty of variety. I'm thinking this is just short enough to layer a pair of jeans or leggings beneath for a chilly autumn or winter evening too. 

This charming t-shirt dress is the {Belissima} Khloe Dress 1 gift, also yours for free with that NextUp group tag. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing, and has "L♥VE" on the front with a cute gourd to its left. This is another dress that could also double as a long tunic top, just by adding some leggings or pants underneath. I am thinking about the chilly weather ahead, as it's getting cold here in RL.

The *So Pink!* - Dress Irina Fat Pack is another fantastic gift you do not want to miss! In sizes for eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, we can wear it in a wide range of color combinations thanks to its HUDs. There is one for the top and one for the skirt, with each offering the same 10 colors. Mixing and matching is so much fun!

KEY STYLE is also still in the mood for Halloween it seems, as their treat for us is their Sweet Witch outfit. It includes the dress and boots seen here, each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There are also a hat and a broom with built in flying pose that are provided but not shown here. Purple and cobwebs can definitely work for your dark side, no matter what time of year it is, right? :)

I don't usually do a 6th photo, but I simply couldn't narrow down the gifts I wanted to share and miss out on any of the ones seen here! This final beauty is the AnaSTyle - Era Gray gift, a daringly designed dress with front and back cutouts and draped slits on each thigh. Even the back of the skirt has a high opening, so your luscious legs get lots of exposure! This gift is provided in sizing for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. What a treat!

It was an unusual day since my Friday dinner with my parents was shifted to Thursday, but I did find out a little more about Thanksgiving plans. They are preordering a smoked turkey tomorrow, and apparently my grandmother's oven actually does work so that will make things a lot easier. We are still waiting to find out what other people are bringing before deciding what I will bring to avoid duplication, but we still have a bit of time. Trying to accommodate so many dietary restrictions and preferences is a challenge, but that's family for ya ;) The weather is going to be rough tomorrow, although it looks like it will clear up just in time for the farmers market Saturday morning. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
