Feeling Sassy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was indeed feeling a little sassy, so I visited the *BSASSY* store to see what's new there. Their group is free to join, and the first gift you'll find is in front of the desk on the main/first floor. Then you can either walk up 2 flights of stairs or use the teleporter board to go to the third floor, where there is an entire room dedicated to group gifts :) I've shared some before and will probably do so in the future too, but since there are monthly gifts going back to 2018 there are plenty of options whenever I do. This store is a longtime favorite for their wide range of styles and their generosity. 

We're starting the post with the newest gift that I mentioned being the one located on the main floor, called *BSASSY* AUG 26 GG COMPLETE OUTFIT. The fun part is that this entire outfit is one piece, from top to flowing pants to even the footwear :) The gift includes Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. 

Up on the 3rd floor I found a similarly easy to wear treat, the *BSASSY* GROUP GIFT MAY 26 JUMPER AND HEELS. It's another all in one outfit, and comes in the same sizes as the first one I shared. This time we have a sleek halter neckline, mauve belt, and the shoes are hard to see in these photos but they are light mauve to match the belt. I can't resist the ability to put on an entire outfit at once with just a couple of clicks :) 

*BSASSY* FEB 26 GROUP GIFT DRESS AND BOM STOCKINGS is just the right gift if you need something sexy to wear just about anywhere. The dress comes in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, while the fishnet stockings with side seams are a BOM layer. The vines with pink hearts decorating them are a fun nod to Valentine's Day since it was a February gift, but not something that would prevent you from wearing them any other time of year. The stockings come down to our ankles, so that might influence your choice of footwear; I'm thinking boots if you want to hide that bottom seam or high heels to accentuate it. 

Next I switched into the *BSASSY* JULY 25 GROUP GIFT DRESS, a soft beige beauty with bare shoulders and a short skirt with sheer polka-dotted layer. I love the way that top layer matches the puffy sleeves, very cute touch! Open this gift and you'll find Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu body sizes inside. 

It's fairly unusual for me to have an entire blog post with all neutral colors, and it wasn't intentional but I am still getting a kick out of it :) Our final look here is called *BSASSY* JANUARY 25 GROUP GIFT DRESS, and has lots of lace to soften the edges of the dark black coloring. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. The bodice and sleeves have an embossed look to their lace, while the skirt is trimmed in an open weave of a different style that certainly caught my attention :)  The short hem will probably attract others' attention as well, a different story indeed.

Whew, it was chilly in here but now it is starting to get warm again, so weird. My weekend was busy but good, starting with the very enjoyable farmers market trip Saturday. There was an occasional vendor who made an unscheduled appearance, so surprise pierogis, yay! Therapy was decent, and I've got a few things planned for the upcoming week that should be helpful. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Be Sassy This Weekend

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm starting my weekend with several terrific gifts from *BSASSY*, because being sassy (not to be confused with mean or rude) is a fun frame of mind for SL. The positive meanings include confident, spirited, and stylish, so these fashions are going to help us bring our inner goddess out to play. The group is currently free to join, and the room upstairs (teleport via the sign on the wall, or walk up 2 flights of stairs) has an impressive array of monthly gifts from the past several years. There are holiday ones too, so your wardrobe can be spruced up for all sorts of occasions now and in the future.

I chose my first look with Memorial Day weekend in mind, even though it's the *BSASSY* JULY 24 GROUP GIFT SWIMWEAR that was probably meant for 4th of July celebrations. The summers in the USA are filled with reasons to wear red, white, and blue :) This gift includes the swimsuit and a shine layer which gives an animated sparkling appearance, each in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Most people consider bikinis to be the sexy sister of swimwear, but this one-piece is smokin'! The gold chain that drapes around the neck and waist to connect in the center along the cleavage line is a fantastic touch. 

This lovely dress makes me want to go dancing :) Our *BSASSY* GROUP GIFT DRESS APRIL 25 has a baby blue floral pattern, fluttery hem ruffle, draped bodice, and a slender tube bra attached to keep it all in place. We receive Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu sizing, along with a HUD that offers 2 metals for the clasp. I'm also very fond of halter style necklines, so I'm just loving everything about this little beauty.

I had to laugh because I didn't set it to make this an all-blue post, yet inexplicably my random selections are really leaning into an accidental blue theme :) I'm not mad at it, just surprised. The *BSASSY* APRIL 26 GROUP GIFT JEAN SHORTS AND TOP is a perfect choice for the warm weather we've been having, and I will always say yes to denim. Each piece will fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. Again we've got a fun floral to catch my eye too, and those low rise jeans shorts have just the right amount of fraying on the hem for that comfy lived-in appearance. 

*BSASSY* AUGUST 2025 GROUP GIFT TOP AND PANTS is in a shade of blue too, but a deep navy that has me thinking of midnight. The short sleeved crop top and flared pants with lace from the knee down are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. This left me wondering if I have a matching necklace and belly piercing set, or maybe a belly chain in the same metallic hue as a bracelet or earrings. Accessorizing can really bring out our creativity :)

For my final look of the evening, I shimmied into the *BSASSY* JAN 26 GROUP GIFT OUTFIT, which I think is going to knock your socks off ;) Would you believe that this entire outfit is all one piece, from the top to the shorts to the fishnets and ankle boots? In RL this would take a heck of a lot of shimmying to get into, LOL, but we get to get dressed with just a couple of clicks. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, plus a HUD with 3 metals for the belt buckle. This is one of those looks where I may not know yet where I'll be wearing it, but I am certain that it will be somewhere fun!

So usually the farmers market I go to every Saturday sends an email out on Friday with a list of vendors and their specials, and I did receive that earlier so I thought we were good to go. A few hours later, the owner sent out another email to tell us it's cancelled 😵. Really? The reason is rain; not a thunderstorm or even high winds but some light rain. I'd like to point out that these are small businesses who show up, after spending the week obtaining ingredients and preparing foods, so that is who his decision is hurting. In this economy, we don't make people waste ingredients! I am mad on their behalf and not just my own, although of course I'm disappointed that I won't get to see some of my favorite people this weekend, and a dog or two ;) At least dinner was nice, and I have some leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. I hope you all enjoy your weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Time to B Sassy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm pleased to share some group gifts from *BSASSY*, whose group is currently free to join. This is a new location for them, but the layout is the same as the last one and the group gifts are up on the third floor. You can either teleport by clicking the board on the right side of the main floor behind the current December group gift, or explore and walk up the two flights of stairs :) With so many fun fashions to see, I wouldn't blame you for taking the scenic route. The group gift room has several years' worth of monthly treats as well as some for specific holidays and other occasions, very generous and worth the visit. I'm grateful for the random thought that sent me here, and of course to our designer for the many impressive gifts.

My first look tonight is their *BSASSY* DECEMBER 24 DRESS GROUP GIFT, so the most recently released goodie for us :) It feels like if you wear it near this time of year, it would be recognized as Christmas themed because of the red and perhaps the Santa-like belt, but any other time of year it would just be a playful strapless top and skirt. They are linked to wear at one time, in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I think the gold is making me think of New Year's celebrations.

Still feeling in the wintry spirit, I tried on the *BSASSY* DEC 2020 COZY DRESS GROUP GIFT here. It's a great knit dress with reindeer making a subtle nod to the holiday, but the black and white coloring reminds me of snow at midnight :) This gift includes a classic M size as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizes. As with most sweater-dresses, I suggest layering some leggings or pants beneath if you want to wear it as a long tunic in a cold weather location. 

Next we celebrate the holiday that'll be here before we know it with our *BSASSY* GROUP GIFT JANUARY 2020 outfit. It is one piece for easy wear, a hoodie and shorts in deepest black with "Happy New Year" in gold with sparkly stars surrounding it. There is a classic M size along with sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. A hoodie over shorts is an ideal choice for wandering a beach town at night, speaking from RL experience, as the temperature can drop when the sun goes down but it's easier to carry a sweatshirt than a full change of clothing. Mine was usually tied around my waist until I felt chilly :) 

I wanted to share a gift that wasn't strongly tied to a holiday or season, yet would come in very handy if you have plans this weekend :) The *BSASSY* GROUP GIFT DRESS NOVEMBER 22 has bold straps that cross in the back, daring side slits on each thigh, and a lovely floral pattern in deep shades of blue. The colors are giving me midnight vibes again, so I definitely have New Years Eve on the brain! This beauty fits Erika, Freya, Isis, Kupra, Bimbo, Low, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. So pretty!

For my final look of the night, I found another terrific look for the upcoming holiday, particularly for those of us who are keeping things casual this year. *BSASSY* NEW YEARS T-SHIRT 2024 says "New Year Wishes Midnight Kisses" on the front, on a snowy white tank top that is slightly crumpled at the hem for that extra cozy look. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, as well as a classic size for our original avatars. Now you can pair this with just about anything that makes you happy, from skirts to shorts to leggings and more, whereas I've reached once again for my handy Delizio jeans :) These are the black pair, one of several hues in their marketplace gift that includes BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega. I figured the black highlighted the text on the shirt and contrasted the white nicely. Just think, there should be another new gift for January soon and very possibly New Years!

It was a decent weekend here, and would have been even better if my favorite hockey team would stop losing so often. We've got some talented players, although it seems a few of them cannot be trusted to behave like an adult, LOL...funny story, one got on the plane to their west coast trip with a full head of hair, then hit the ice Saturday (yep 2 games this weekend) with a buzzcut. What happened? He and one of his teammates were in their hotel room, bored, and the other said he used to shave his brother's head. So they decided that this was a good cure for boredom, and now he looks like he was recruited into the army. He also thinks the teammate lied about being experienced as a barber, or so he said during an intermission interview ;) Oh well, it's just hair and it grows back. I'm glad in SL we can just go shopping for new hair and get any style or color we could ever wish for :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More BSASSY Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're still at *BSASSY* taking a look at several more wonderful group gifts from their 3rd floor group gift room. It's free to join their group, and there are a few years' worth of monthly treats for us to claim that I've noticed all have a wide range of mesh body sizes so that can be quite helpful to know. I only own a few bodies but I know some of you are enjoying changing up your look fairly often and need a range of brands on hand. The easiest way to reach the group gift room is the teleport board on the wall, but you can always take the scenic route by walking up a couple of flights of stairs :) Do avatars need cardio? 

For my first look of the night, I am loving the *BSASSY* SHORTS SET GROUP GIFT JULY 2023 outfit. The high waisted denim shorts can be paired with either the solid or see-through versions of the top, all of which are provided in a fitmesh version along with Freya, Isis, Hourglass Petite, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. I'm wearing the solid on the left and the see-through on the right, not a very noticeable difference because of the texturing, at least from behind. I really like the built in belt on the shorts, and the pink and blue color combo in spring pastels.

Another irresistible gift I picked up is called *BSASSY* HEARTS IN FEB 22 GROUP GIFT DRESS. It was most likely intended as a Valentine gift, but I am absolutely going to wear it any time of year :) There are sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies included, all with that front and back gathering and smattering of pink hearts. The plunging neckline makes me want to try on every necklace I own, LOL, see what dangles just right into the cleavage.

*BSASSY* GG DRESS OCT 23 could be thought of as a 'little black dress', but the details make it so much more :) The first thing you might notice is the keyhole opening at the cleavage, or maybe it'll be the slightly asymmetrical hemline trimmed in pretty lace. For some it might be the way it clings to every curve. They are all noteworthy of course :) Claim this gift and you will receive BBL, Erika, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes.

One of the more recent gifts is this charming *BSASSY* GG DRESS MARCH 24, in a soft romantic peachy hue. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included. This can certainly be dressed up or down with your choices of accessories, and I think gold or silver would go well with the coloring.

My final look this evening is the stunning *BSASSY* SEPTEMBER 23 GROUP GIFT WITH PANTIES. The dress and panties are separates, each sized to fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The slightly sheer white fabric makes the panties show through and really highlights the bold pink flowers embroidered on the front. 

It was a day...now that I've had a full day to let my grandmother's passing sink in, it is perhaps a little easier but I am still hurting inside. I'd already had a doctor visit scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, so hooray for more stress? I will be telling the doctor to go ahead and change my antidepressant, because I certainly need one that works well. Many are helpful for anxiety and panic attacks too, which is the goal to find the best one for my personal body chemistry. The funeral is Saturday and it is too far for me to go at this point, which adds a level of guilt to my grief. If you've ever heard of the analogy of grief as a ball inside of a box, I definitely agree with it. The idea is that there is a pain button in a box, and our grief starts as a very large ball that hits the pain button very frequently. Unexpected things can shake the box and make the ball hit the button. But time will help the ball to shrink, so it triggers the pain button less often but still unpredictably sometimes. It is a great way to explain things, don't you think? The button may cause sadness, numbness, anger, any number of responses when hit, but those ease over time as well. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Time To Be Sassy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I stopped by the new location of *BSASSY* where I found their newest group gift on the main floor and a bounty of prior gifts on the third floor. The current gift is next to the teleport sign, just click the floor labeled with group gifts and you will be whisked up to the room of treasures ;) They have been offering monthly gifts for several years now, and many of them have been made available here at the new store for those who might not have gotten them yet. Also good news, the group is currently free to join so these goodies won't cost you a single thing :)

My first look of the evening is the *BSASSY* MAY 24 GROUP GIFT BRA TOP AND SKIRT OUTFIT, this month's gift and the only one on the main floor. The floral pattern is delightful for spring, and the skirt has panties built in for a touch of modesty. Our top and skirt are each provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Bombshell, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. We even receive a HUD for the metals with 2 choices, so those little loops can be either silver or gold depending on your preferences.

Next I changed into the open weave *BSASSY* APRIL 24 GROUP GIFT. This wispy dress has a honeycomb type texture that makes me think of wearing it as a beach coverup, over a favorite bikini :) There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes provided for this lovely pale peace mini dress.

We will definitely turn heads with the *BSASSY* JAN 24 GROUP GIFT DRESS AND BOOTS, don't you think? Both the dress and thigh high boots are provided in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, with a 4 color HUD for the gems on the wedge heels of our boots. What a fun extra touch! The asymmetrical hemline means that one cheek is showing off in our rear view, noteworthy if you are looking to wear this somewhere G-rated.

When you first enter the group gift room upstairs, the wall you're facing holds 3 recent gifts, one of which is this gorgeous *BSASSY* VALENTINES 24 RED FORMAL outfit. Now I know, it's technically for a holiday a few months ago, but that is merely because of the red color which I've always considered timeless :) The top has some great lace detail both front and back, while the flowing satin skirt is open on the left side and decorated with lovely chains on the hip. Each piece fits Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

My final look tonight is the *BSASSY* AG COLLECTION GROUP GIFT JUNE 23 SKIRT AND TOP, stunning in royal blue. The halter top has lace and fishnet with ties at each side, while the skirt is pulled up on one side for another cheeky look ;) The pieces are each included in sizing for Belleza X, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies.

I received bad news this evening, not unexpected but still sorrowful...my beloved grandmother passed away this afternoon. My parents were there to meet with the hospice nurse who said her blood pressure was very low, and her favorite niece (no, we aren't supposed to play favorites among family, but we still usually have one or two) was there and said they should call the priest. The nurses kept asking if there was someone my grandmother was waiting to see, and my mom didn't think so. The priest gave her the sacrament of the sick (last rites was what we called it when I was a kid) and my parents walked him to the door after, but when they returned to her she was gone. Peaceful, painless, and surrounded by people who love her. I believe she is reunited with my grandfather, her parents, all her siblings who died before her (just the youngest brother remains), and lots of friends who loved her during her 97 years on earth. My godparents' son is a priest in a different area, and my mom contacted him to see if he can preside over her funeral mass because he dearly loved her too. She asked about him often, so we feel she would want it that way. I am struggling a bit, grief is a terrible thing that we all face so I am just doing my best to muddle through. I will keep tabs on my mom to make sure she is okay, as well as one can be at a time like this anyway. The services will probably be Saturday. I already had these blog photos and notes prepared when I found out, and will probably keep blogging throughout to keep myself occupied. I hope you're all having a good day/evening, and please go hug a loved one :)

MORE BSASSY Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we return to *BSASSY* for some more of their generous group gifts. Their group is currently free to join, so we can claim dozens of gifts without spending a single linden :) Their generosity does inspire me to do more shopping there, as I tend to thank designers with my spending habits that way as well as admiring their talents. The group gifts range back several years and seem to have been distributed monthly, although I didn't see many for 2021 so I think the store may have had a hiatus at some point. Things seem to be thriving now though, so come on over to BSASSY!

My first look tonight is the *BSASSY* FEB 21 LS SHIRT AND SKIRT GROUP GIFT. The LS must stand for long sleeved, and the style is a buttoned sweater that tucks gently into the high waisted mini skirt. Each are included in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. I really like the balance of the soft pink top decorated with darker pink hearts, against the deep hue of the skirt that are all in the pink family. 

I have also been drawn to shades of blue lately, so this striking *BSASSY* MARCH 21 DRESS GROUP GIFT called to me too. It fits Freya, Isis, eBody Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Signature, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The halter straps that cross in the back create a triangular frame for our cleavage, and the skirt is gathered on the left side and tied to show off even more leg. 

If you are in the midst of a RL heatwave too, you might appreciate the *BSASSY* AUGUST 2019 GROUP GIFT even more ;) The flirty tied top and shorts are each included in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. Are you noticing a trend with floral patterns? I am loving it!

The more recent *BSASSY* APRIL 2022 GROUP GIFT also has an eye-catching pattern, not to mention the shredded styling that creates wide slashes to let our skin peek through in all the right places. There are sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Signature Alice, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. I feel like the long sleeves cover almost as much as the dress itself, thanks to those openings, LOL! 

My final look of the night is the *BSASSY* APRIL 2018 DRESS GROUP GIFT, for which the saying "oldie but goodie" would be an understatement of its beauty. It is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The deep teal is contrasted by striking beige lace trim, and halter style dresses always tend to frame the cleavage especially nicely :) The zipper and bold seams highlight every curve, so this dress offers a shapely appearance. 

It was an adventure of a day, as I thought something went wrong with Firestorm but it was actually windows' doing. The past two days when I opened my viewer (firestorm) it had a little popup informing me that my settings had changed because a new video card was detected. I hadn't knowingly changed anything or even rebooted my system, so the first time was surprising then the second time was downright disturbing. I checked (with Xan's technical help) and found out that my windows was installing new drivers without telling me, so today I updated the driver to what should be the correct newest one. It's Nvidia, a fairly old card, and I will just have to wait and see what happens in the next few days. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sassy Sunday

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the *BSASSY* store, where their free group tag gains us access to dozens of group gifts (also free) which are several years' worth of monthly treats. So generous, and a wide range of styles and seasons are covered among the variety of gifts. There are so many that I am starting with the more recent ones and then will share some previous looks in a future post. 

My first look tonight is their *BSASSY* GROUP GIFT JULY 2022 FADE DRESS. This charming mini dress has a pretty white floral pattern on pale blue background, with straps that cross in the back then loop through the front to join at the bodice. The gift includes standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. 

Then I changed into the alluring *BSASSY* JUNE 22 BIKINI GROUP GIFT, whose hot pink color will definitely turn heads at the beach or pool. There is a standard fitted size as well as Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Hourglass Petite sizes each for the top and bottom, plus a HUD for the chain offering 2 metal options. I think the silver is more flattering on my skin tone, but if I were wearing gold accessories I would certainly appreciate the choice of changing the chain's hue.

Another summery treat is our *BSASSY* BIKINI AND SKIRT AUGUST 22 GROUP GIFT which is currently the newest of all the group gifts. The bikini top, bikini bottom, and translucent wrap skirt are each provided in eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing. The bikini bottom is a thong, so the skirt may come in handy if you wear this somewhere not adult-rated. I also just like the idea of wearing the skirt to the pool or beach, then slipping out of it to lie in the sun or go for a swim. There are other colors for sale in the group gifts room right near the large sign for this gift, so if you are interested be sure to have a peek at the vendor.

Next we have the *BSASSY* GROUP GIFT MAY 22 DRESS, a soft peach strapless mini with lots of sexy details. The front is held in place by 3 pert bows, and the hemline is a beautiful scalloped ruffle. There are sizes for Altamura, Freya, eBody Curvy, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Signature Alice bodies provided, as well as a classic size. 

My final look of the evening is the *BSASSY* HEARTS IN FEB 22 GROUP GIFT DRESS, which may have been intended for Valentine's Day but the bold purple makes it a less traditional (so less restrictive?) Valentine look other than the fun pink hearts. The gift contains sizes for Freya, eBody Curvy, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. 

It was a long and hot weekend, but not necessarily a bad one...I did not go to the farmers market but my housemate was kind enough to pick up things for me so I have some fresh food for the week. A few vendors were unable to be there, so I am missing some weekly staples but that's summer for ya ;) Vacations usually interfere with schedules all summer long, but we adjust as needed. My back and neck are a little bit better, so I think it could be a muscle pull rather than something out of alignment. I will just let it heal on its own and continue to be careful rather than seeking any treatment for now :) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still Feeling Sassy

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have a few more treats for the *BSASSY* group, free to join and with dozens of available gifts waiting for you. The selection is generally chic and flirty in style, so if that sounds like your type of clothing I suggest it is very worthwhile to stop by. Even the older gifts from 2016 or so have sizes for mesh bodies as well as classic avatars in many cases, and are very appealing. I have some longtime favorite items in my inventory that are certainly not the newest fashions, but as long as they work with my avatar then I will gladly wear them :) This probably explains why I appreciate so much having former group gifts available to claim and not just the newest one. 

My first look is so welcomed for this autumn season with those richly colored leaves scattered about on creamy tan satin. It is their *BSASSY* Group Gift Thankful For You Dress, and is a former Thanksgiving treat. It consists of standard mesh sizes along with versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 

If you claim their *BSASSY* T-Shirt Dress Group Gift November, you too can look pretty in pink with golden lace overlay. This body skimming style has a high neckline and short hem, so you could wear this over a pair of jeans or leggings as a long tunic top if you prefer. It comes in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP body sizing. 

This gift will help you hold onto a warmer season just a bit longer if you wish :) It is the *BSASSY* Group Gift Summer, and seems to have been from June 2016. The asymmetrical hemline and halter style with fun bows in the back are fantastic details, as is the soft floral pattern. Our gift holds a fitted size for classic avatars, plus Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. I am loving the lacing up the front too, just a wonderfully crafted dress.

Another flirtatious look is their Group Gift April 2020, with daring cutouts and vibrant floral texture trimmed in sky blue. It includes Altamura Sofia, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature Alice, Star Body, and Tonic Curvy mesh body sizing. 

I think I was in the mood for bare shoulders in the latter half of this post ;) For my final look this evening I chose the July 2019 Group Gift Dress, a sexy mini dress that is bursting with red and blue fireworks on a dark background. It is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body versions. The red string looped through the front and tied so sweetly is what drew my attention to the colors in the texture, really bringing things together nicely. The sounds of fireworks bother me sometimes in person (too loud, I have anxiety issues) but visually I find them to be so beautiful, and these are no exception.

Time is really flying this evening, and I am being a bit slower than I'd like. I had a nice day so far, and have a few random ideas for upcoming blog posts that I am looking forward to exploring. Sometimes I have loads of things to share, other times I have to search fairly intently to find just the right gifts or affordable goodies to show you, but it is always worth it :) I hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Be Sassy This Weekend

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I chose some more group gifts from *BSASSY*, whose store group is free to join and they have dozens of treats you can claim. There are lots of dresses and outfits, I believe the gifts are released monthly with a few bonuses along the way, and the store has been open for a few years so the gifts have added up :) I am very grateful that they are all still available, so we can find something for any season or occasion among them.

My first look of the evening is the Group Gift May 2020, a charming pants outfit with tied top and high waisted pants with sparkles drizzled down at the bottom. The gift includes each piece in a classic M size as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body versions. The bare shoulders and flash of midriff are appealing, while the rest is appropriately covered so almost modest. 

Next we have the Group Gift May 2020, putting the 'sassy' in BSASSY. This denim halter style mini dress has a bold opening in the front, revealing cleavage plus the navel and a bit below, for a daring fun look. It is provided in sizes for Altamura Sofia, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature Alice, Star Body, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Did you notice the very subtle *BSASSY* logo on the hemline, right thigh? 

For your next beach vacation or visit anywhere with a pool, you might want to pack the *BSASSY* Group Gift July 2020 Bikini. The top and bottom each come in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique body versions, all with a HUD offering 3 texture choices that tint both pieces at once. In addition to the two shown, there is a blue with white stars similar to the red on the left. If you really wanted to change them separately, I suppose you could wear just the top and pick the texture, remove it and wear just the bottom then texture that, then slip back into your top. A little complicated sounding, but it wouldn't really be all that bad :)

I know I am not the only one whose thoughts wander to Halloween when the fall season arrives, so in that spirit (pun?) I wanted to share the *BSASSY* Little Sexy Dress October 2019 Group Gift. It has fascinating straps and a lace inset in the deep neckline, with playful ruffles on the skirt. The gift includes standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. The moons and stars, particularly with the red and orange colors, are what makes this Halloween themed without being over the top, at least in my mind.

For my final look this evening, I stuck with that Halloween flavor as you can see. This is the October Group Gift Skull Dress, and based on the date the enclosed texture/photo was taken I believe it was from 2016. In addition to standard mesh sizes, it includes Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. The pattern behind the skulls is beautiful, I want to say damask but I think that's more floral. Either way, it look terrific in black and orange. 

Does anyone have exciting plans for the weekend? I remember a time when that would have meant going to a bar or nightclub for drinks and dancing, or even a spontaneous daytrip somewhere, but as I got older it became things like trying a new hobby (something craft related) or picking up an old one, or maybe experimenting with a new recipe. These days I am not eager to leave the house at all, except for the farmers market which I will be enjoying in about 10 hours :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
