Seasonal FabFree

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I decided to check the FabFree group gift list, to see what I could share that is either autumn or Halloween themed, and I've found plenty that fit that bill :) These are all free for members of FabFree in SL, which is also free to join. They're an amazing source of information, and both the blog and group have helped me in countless ways since my earliest days here over 18 years ago now. I've got so much love and gratitude for them, and it's always remarkable to peek at the list of top designers who offer gifts for their members.

My first look of the evening is our Orange Blessed Minidress gift from Harambee-Gwassi which is a charity store to raise funds for schooling in Kenya. The textures made me think of this time of year, especially with those rich colors! Our dress is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. There is a thong to wear beneath in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, while the coordinating stilettos are designed for Altamura, Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique feet. This is such a thoughtful gift, as a complete outfit that makes getting dressed a breeze.

Our Psyche's Pstyles Heavy Metal Dress gift for FabFree immediately caught my eye, thanks to the orange roses and coppery skulls. This column dress is provided in a standard fitted version along with eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. It's so nice for this time of year with its hem falling below the knee, and the bare arms could easily be covered by your favorite sweater or shrug :) I've mentioned here often that I enjoy floral patterns year round, and this is a great example of a themed floral for autumn.

Next I headed to Grumble, where I eagerly claimed their Miss Batty Dress gift for FabFree. It's got a great seasonal vibe with cobwebs and bats over a kind of dusky cloud backdrop :) There is also a strong flirtatious feeling because of the wrapped top straps and the daring front slits all the way up to the waist, and I do advise caution with the top because you could get some nipple flashing. There are sizes for Erika, Freya, Isis, Kupra, Kupra Low, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included in this wonderful gift.

Some might consider the .::DS::. Hezly Crosses gift from Dark Salvation to be more Goth than Halloween, but as they began offering it very recently and I do see more of the upside down crosses this time of year, I'm going with it here :) The blood red overalls and white tank top are separate pieces, each in Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes. I adore this style of short overalls, buttoned on each hip and with all the pockets you'd expect from a classic pair of jeans. I know that some people might be upset by the inverted crosses, but I also know that it was chosen by St. Peter as a sign of humility. It's still certainly warm enough out in RL here to wear shorts too, so very handy!

My final look of the night comes from FLAMINGO'S, their [FLA] Yummy Dress - BLOOD gift. We receive a revealing dress that may have been worn during something ominous, and a matching Yummy hat to complete a baker's style costume. The extra short dress fits Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and comes with a HUD offering 10 colors each for the buttons, collar, sleeves, and pulse (lower portion of sleeve). The hat is adjustable and has a HUD also, 10 colors each for the hat itself and the strap in the back. You may notice the little modesty flower at the hem there, well it is quite short and was showing off more than I was comfy with so I added that in Photoshop. I also chose a pose to obscure the top, where our breasts are supported nicely but in a way that displays the nipples ;) I'm really curious about some of those handprints, like I could have caused the one in the front but that lower left hip one would have had to come from someone else...who wants to provide my alibi? *innocent grin*

Whew, fortunately it was a much less chaotic day here than yesterday, so I am feeling more optimistic and relieved. No nails in new tires, no weird news about games trying to rip me off, and no fighting to untangle my hair :) The seasonal events in SL keep coming, and I've got several leads to check out later and over the weekend. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Mesh Body Friends Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post has several treats for the Mesh Body Friends group, which is currently free to join. Visit some of their participating designers and you just might find a gift for this group, near its sign that you can click for a link to join if you aren't already a member :) I'm always curious what I can find for these multi-designer groups, and I have had a lot of luck lately so I am feeling extra magpie-like these days.

FLAMINGO'S has a terrific treat for us called [FLA] Fantasy Dress. It includes the flirty dress and a thong to layer beneath, each in sizes for Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. It definitely calls to mind a certain fairy tale heroine, yet all grown up and very alluring.

I also headed to Pearl Fashion, where I found their lovely *PF::Maya2025 gift for Mesh Body Friends. The top and shorts will each fit eBody, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and we also receive a HUD with 8 colors apiece for the bra, ribbon, panties, and ribbon portions. As you can tell above, the ribbon colors go with the trim for the respective pieces, so it is all very versatile with lots of possibilities.

If you crave a curve-hugging mini dress, pop on over to Bens Beauty where their Vika Dress can be yours for free :) They have several gifts for other groups as well, including their own, like this flirtatious one that comes in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Kupra Ups, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The belt you see is separate in the same sizes, and there's also a HUD as I'm sure you guessed, with an amazing 50 colors to choose from and 6 metals for our belt. Change up the look all you want!

Next I happily changed into the Limited Addiction - LOTD 192 gift for Mesh Body Friends. It consists of the daring dress, upper arm bands, and bracelets, all in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. The dress caught my eye with the lacing on both sides and the back, plus who can resist the cleavage cutout? If you feel like wearing the dress alone without the arm bands or the bracelets, you can easily do so since they are each separate from the dress, making this a few different looks in one.

My final look of the night is our delightful ::PCF:: Lila Body Fatpack gift. It reminds me of a gymnastics leotard but sexier thanks to the openings, and is provided in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. The enclosed HUD lets us choose from 13 solid colors, 13 ombres, and 4 striped like the red on the right above. It's either meant to be zebra or tiger, when it's in different coloring I can never quite tell ;) This really gives me the urge to layer a loose skirt over it sometime, just one of these random thoughts that tend to occur when I try on something new.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was busy but decent, and my therapy gave me a lot to think about because of something he mentioned at the end. The clinic I'm working with has a support group for anxiety, virtual and free, so he asked if I'd be interested and I said yes, maybe (didn't want to 100% commit) so I expect during the week he'll email me or we will discuss it more next week. He did indicate needing to get more info about it, and he ran it for about a year when he started there, so maybe he needs to find out who is currently handling it and confirm the time, things like that. Otherwise we talked about my fears about the dentist Tuesday, and how I am wavering in my confidence about it from moment to moment. I was there 4 months ago, and nothing has really changed so I should be able to make it then too :) The weather was stormy last night, but should be clear for a few days. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Free is Fabulous

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was in the mood to explore a bit, so the FabFree in SL group and blog immediately came to mind. Their group is free to join, and the blog is a wonderful source of information that includes the listing of gifts for their group members :) It is constantly growing and being added to, so you can find all sorts of treats for guys and gals, plus home decor suitable for anyone's living space. I usually go down the list a bit and go with slightly older gifts, just to make sure people are aware of them before they get swapped out for new goodies. This does mean that if you like what you see, you may not want to wait too long just in case :) I will definitely be a proud member of this group for life!

My first stop was La Feminique, where the beautiful Selena May GG awaits all FabFree group members. There are sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies provided, and a HUD with 3 color versions of the summery citrus sliced pattern you see above. This is such a flattering minidress, especially the crossed straps.

Our gift from *Flamingos*  is their Clementine Top&Skirt - Pink set, packed separately but meant to pair together perfectly. The top and skirt each fit eBody, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Peach mesh bodies. The top's HUD offers 10 colors each for the sleeves, ribbons, and corset, while the skirt has a HUD with the same 10 hues for the trim and ribbons. Very cute for this time of year, don't you think?

I also picked up a fantastic pair of pretty dresses, the *Glitter Bunny* Xara Dress gift for FabFree. The pink and purple versions are each included in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Star mesh body sizing. There is even a men's gift here too, so spread the word to any male avatar wearers you know :) As for Xara here, I love both color ombres and am going to have a very hard time deciding which to wear out first. 

Next we have the sassy .:Bad Rabbit:. Knitty Dress Gray + Soft Red gift, a fun mix of sex appeal and unique styling. The dress fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies, and we receive a HUD with both color choices shown above. The dress is delightfully asymmetrical, with most of the left side open but tied at the hip. I am a big fan of knit textures, so that added to my appreciation of this generous gift.

My final stop of the evening was {Le'La} where I found their Simeona Dress Gift for FabFree. Did you know they have a separate building for their gifts? Just walk out their front door and you'll see a sparkly stardust path leading you there, for not only their own (paid) group but lots of other groups. This beauty is provided in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Classic Dainty, Gen X Curvy, Gen X Curvy Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. That's an impressive roundup of popular fits :) The dress has a pinkish bronzed color that I really enjoy, embossed fabric with a loosely tied sash belt built in. 

Thursdays are not usually very exciting around here, and I am still waiting to find out if my parents are going to be home in time tomorrow for our usual dinner get-together. This week has been hectic for them of course, and I am absolutely not complaining if dinner is a no-go. There are still things to do before Saturday's services, and they are generally busy during the week anyway so this just adds to their chaos. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

eBento Anniversary

Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the 6th anniversary round of the eBento Event, which opened late last week and runs until the 5th of June. Their group is free to join, and that group tag lets you click dozens of gift boxes at most of the designers' displays to claim some wonderful free treats. I found there to be a very nice variety of fashions, accessories, home decor, and more, with plenty for the guys so not just a ladies' event :) I know there are lots of events out there, but I enjoy visiting as many as I can because they each offer different themes, exclusive items, and of course a different set of designers working hard to provide lots of great choices for our SL shopping. The generous gifts from time to time are just a fantastic bonus :)

My first look of the evening will help us get ready for summer with the *Flamingos* SwimSuit Alice - Pink gift. This playful style is a one-piece with three straps holding each side in place, which we can change to our choice of 10 colors via HUD. The swimsuit fits eBody, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I'm sure you also noticed the flock of birds on my upper right thigh, well they are our Aviva. Swallow tattoo-Group gift. This is a BOM (bakes on mesh) layer so you can wear it on any BOM compatible mesh body or even on classic avatars since it's a system tattoo layer. I do love birds of course, even my blog name is a nod to that fact, so these little beauties are a very welcome gift.

Two more gifts make up my second look tonight, starting with the [HU] Dilly Top_Purple by Have Unequal. This fluttery halter top is designed for the Maitreya body, and includes a HUD with 5 metals which are the straps and the clasp in the front center. This looks to be a materials enabled item, as there is a distinct sheen that I am enjoying here :) Then I added the [BB] Belzebubble - Panties #6 gift, a duo of colors of thong panties that have the number 6 on the front in white. The black and red pairs are each provided in eBody Reborn, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes. So fun that the number 6 is a nod to the 6th anniversary of this wonderful event!

Next I changed into the full outfit from **ABSEN** which is aptly named -At the party-. It contains the top, panties, skirt, and boots, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. The alpha/transparency of the lower half of the skirt made the panties disappear somehow, LOL, so I shimmied out of the skirt to show you the equally sparkly panties alone on the right. I know there's a way to fix the alpha layering issue but I was drawing a blank on how, sorry about that. Those boots really make the outfit for me, just a total showstopper of a look.

If you'd like to shine in purple, be sure to claim the ***LURE*** dress Aurora- Violet gift seen here :) Its daring style features a crossed halter neckline above a long diamond shaped cutout, with a slender strap in the back to help hold things just right. There are eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh body sizes of this flirty gift. 

Well, I started the post with a swimsuit and coincidentally I'm wrapping it up with another :) This time it is the lovely {Le'La} Ulva Swimsuit Gift, a two piece bikini whose bra and panties are each designed for Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. That leopard print is as eye-catching as the wild straps, isn't it? It certainly caught my attention, and made me grateful that SL bodies don't get tan lines unless we decide to add them. Geez, I think that's proof that I'm old but I just had a flashback to how many girls went to tanning salons before prom and then worried about the tan lines, trying to use thick chalky makeup from the late 80s to hide them. I've actually never been in a tanning bed, since I've always been just too prone to burning in just a few minutes of sun exposure. 

It was another quiet day and I'm grateful for that, since I have a relatively long car ride tomorrow to get to my family doctor for a mostly routine checkup. I say mostly because I usually have little things to discuss that occasionally merit more attention, and she might want to look at the area I recently had the abscess drained. It has been fairly warm here, not quite summer heat levels but I prefer milder temperatures anyway :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More #BIGGIRL Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are taking a look at more of the treats from the Trick or Treat featured in this round of the #BIGGIRL event. With the Flair For Events group tag active (free to join) you just click every pumpkin you see at all of the designers' displays, and you will either receive a trick of an empty box (labeled trick) or a treat of a free gift from that designer. The event caters to curvy women, and I would say it accentuates the natural sex appeal of full figures with formfitting or revealing fashions. Intrigued? Come on over and see what tickles your fancy!

I was still sifting through the separates, specifically the tops, when coming up with this first look that shows off two of them :) On the left above I am wearing the [WellMade] Skully Blouse GIFT, which includes Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The pattern of skulls on a bed of roses is fun for the season, and the wide band picks up the darkest shade in the pattern and draws the eye. Then we have the teeny tube top on the right, :: Saussi :: Top Caity Black. This sexy treat is provided in sizes for Erika, Freya, Kupra, Kupra Squeezed, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy bodies/mods, with a HUD that lets us choose from two textures. One is the flames seen above, while the other is solid shimmering black. 

I kept my black Delizio jeans on and checked out our treat from Gaia here, called the spook returns top. There are 3 colors packed separately inside - pumpkin seen on the left and white on the right, plus black - which each fit eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. The red stain is only on the front, so it's either an entry wound with no exit wound, or I was a perpetrator rather than a victim ;) 

AURORA will have you feeling spooky-sexy with their generous Paulin Halloween Gift. Its top and panties are each provided in eBody Reborn, Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Flat, and Peach Body sizes. The straps caught my attention with the clever cleavage clasp, and the pattern of pumpkins and bones is perfect for Halloween. 

Wow, the gift from Virtual Diva is sure to turn heads for its vivid color and spicy styling! It is called Kira PINK, and it has a daring opening in the front all the way past the navel, held together with a few buckled straps. There are Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh body sizes included, and I'm sure you can imagine how sexy it will look on each of those :) If the flash of nipples is too much for wherever you're headed, I'd suggest layering a bra or pasties beneath it, either to match your skintone or black to match the trim.

My final look of the evening is a seductive one too, thanks to *Flamingos* and their SinDress - Red gift. The sheer dress has panties built in and bows decorating it, in sizes for eBody, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. There is also a HUD provided with 10 colors each for the ribbons and panties, plus we can hide the panties by clicking the X to the left of the color choices. On the right I selected blue in an effort to create a purple effect for the panties peeking through the translucent red, just playing with color as I do enjoy doing :)

It was a pleasant weekend here, and I am really looking forward to my chiropractic visit on Tuesday to get this neck feeling less achy. The farmers market was fun as usual, and I got lots of delicious food that I will be enjoying throughout the week. I hope you all had a beautiful weekend and are having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Seraphim is my Valentine

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some treats from the Seraphim Valentine's Day 2022 Hunt, which is a free hunt in which we are looking for red hearts with a white Seraphim logo on the front. The landmarks and hints can be found on their website, as well as preview images down below the hints so you can see what wonderful prizes we can claim. The hints are very helpful, and the hunt just opened less than two days ago for a brief time ending the 14th so we do need to hurry. It's funny that I commented in the wrap-up of my last post that I'd be sharing more Shop and Hop gifts unless something else cropped up that ended sooner, and that is precisely what happened. I have not forgotten that event either, and look forward to returning to it soon :) For now, let's get romantic with Seraphim!

The heart at -MUSU- holds their Sweet Baby Lingerie Red, which you can unpack from their HUD in either Maitreya or Legacy sizes. I'm wearing the Maitreya set, whose bodysuit also includes a Petite version, and goes beautifully with the cape, gloves, bottoms (stockings and heels), garter, shawl, and even a pair of large bow earrings (not shown). Wear as many or as few of these components at a time as you wish, for a look that is truly your own. Did you notice the black pointy nails built into the gloves? 

I promise that I am not just showing off the Stories*Co. gift because of its name, which is the Dawn Bralette/Thong - Heart. (No relation) This two piece set includes sizes for Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Physique, Physique Petite, and V-Tech mesh bodies. All have the hunt-exclusive soft pink background decorated with bold pink hearts, with subtle striped knit. This looks like it is as comfortable as it is romantic, a great pairing!

Next I slipped into the Belle Epoque - Harlow GIFT - Valentine Hunt prize, which had me looking high and low but I am delighted to have found it :) The top comes in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes, with matching skirt and gloves for Legacy and Maitreya bodies (perky/petite not needed because they are related to the bust size) all with lovely red hearts like the hunt object. This is definitely versatile since you can wear with or without the gloves, then dress up or down with your choice of accessories and footwear. 

We can really turn up the heat in the Lexi Lingerie - Black from [Glitzz]! This set includes the top, panties, and garter in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 3 metal options for the clasps. Despite the lace, this is not overly girlie but definitely womanly. Maybe it's the strong black color, or the boldness of the straps, but I am certainly enjoying this style!

My final look of the evening is the *Flamingos* Body Seraphim Prize, a strappy bodysuit in hot pink with black straps and a heart patterned chest panel. This prize comes in Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The rear view is quite similar since the bodysuit forms a thong in the back, but I had a little trouble with my body poking through the straps or vice versa, so I stuck with the front view :) I will have to try adjusting my shape a bit to wear this in the future. I love the color combo, so that will probably happen fairly soon.

It was a decent weekend here, and I am really relieved that the weather will be getting slightly warmer this week! Those below freezing temperatures are rough, and even with a scarf on I managed to get windburn on my cheeks Saturday. My dad just lost a friend to covid pneumonia despite his being fully vaccinated with booster, probably because of several underlying health issues including history of stroke, so I would like to remind all of you that I care about you and want everyone to be safe and careful. That's all, no politics and no lectures, just reaching out because it is weighing heavy on my heart this weekend. My dad hadn't seen his friend in person in a few months, but apparently they spoke on zoom and he knew the friend had been ill. This is why I am focusing on SL and other things so much this week, distractions! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

A Very Special Episode

 Hiya everyone! The following blog post contains sexually suggestive language and somewhat revealing images. Reader discretion is advised ;) Please take that in the joking tone I am intending, as there are no sex acts depicted and I have hidden most of the private parts that the clothing chooses to uncover. The hunt itself that all looks tonight are prizes from is very adult by nature, the Hunt For Your Inner Slut hunt which has us searching for golden cocks. No, not a rooster...Mr. Happy is a gold colored male member, with both twig and berries, and that can lead to some very intriguing hiding places. There are a dozen stores taking part in this free hunt, and all locations and hints can be found on their website. Naturally the stores have lots of adult content and are located in adult regions, so please keep that in mind when deciding to take part in this adventure :) The hunt is open until the 15th of this month, and has a general theme of Fall of Rome.

My first look of the evening is the ***LURE*** dress Aurora- red lycra prize. This daring dress has crossed straps and a deep dip both front and back. It is provided in sizes for eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The bright color really shows off the sheen of the fabric beautifully!

I also made another trip to Freya's Fashions (fun fact, visiting for yesterday's blog post is how I found out about this hunt being active!) to claim their FF Junia Halter Dress (HYIS) prize. This version is called Naturals, and includes a HUD with 6 similarly lovely textures for the belt, top, and skirt, with 6 metal colors for the swirl in the front. The dress itself comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The flirty style has a double tied halter top that is barely attached in the front to the long skirt with slits on each side. 

Next we have a sensual prize from Have Unequal called [HU] Gaya Dress Grey. There are two versions included, with and without a lace texture for the top, each in sizes for Belleza Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya bodies. The gold halter neckline, belt, and closures on the top are a nice contrast to the silvery grey fabric color, and I am wearing the lace version on the left but the solid on the right above.

For this look I broke out the photoshop "modesty flowers" that I employ here from time to time, so the white flowers hiding my nipples above are not in SL and not part of the outfit whatsoever. This is the HFYIS Sex Servant hunt prize from Blink2Wink, both sexy and versatile. The sheer body wrap is a system/BOM layer with lots of intricate straps, and the black wrap comes in a fitmesh size as well as Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. I think this makes me envision dancing for someone special, then sliding out of the mesh wrap to show off the sheer layer beneath...

My final look this evening is the provocative *Flamingos* Exposed Bikini COW HYIS prize. I love the way the bra is unhooked in the front, and the panties are a mere strand of cow-print fabric pulled high on the hips into a thong back. The prize includes eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes of each piece. 

It was a decent but busy day, and the podiatrist appointment went better than usual since there were no ingrown nails that needed removing. The new doctor was very good and asked a lot of questions that showed he was truly looking out for my wellbeing, and due to my regular doc's schedule I am seeing the new doctor again instead in 9 weeks. The receptionist said that she's been directing people to new doctor for when the other doctor retires (he is in his 70s but never said anything official yet) because the new doctor is "awesome" :) Tomorrow will be a calm day at home because of the weather, but it should be safe to visit the farmers market on Saturday so I'm looking forward to that. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts From Dubai Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I would like to invite you to the Dubai Event, whose October round has lots of pumpkins with free gifts inside. It is open until November 10th so we have almost two weeks remaining, so that is plenty of time to visit and pick up demos along with those sweet treats. I always enjoy events where I can become familiar with new-to-me designers, while scoping out new releases from longtime favorites. 

First I slipped into the [Flirt] Teona dress white, a charming gift with slender straps that is gathered on the left side. It includes Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Signature Alice sizes, all with that delicate white polka dot pattern. 

The *Flamingos* Lucidity Dress Orange gift is an extremely seductive one, with very sheer fabric and a low neckline that does not cover the nipples but cradles the breasts. It comes in sizes for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 10 color choices for the lace/threads and waist. The HUD makes this gift both sexy and versatile!

Next we have the [[2Love]] gift of Gal Jumpsuit / Black, with a single long sleeve opposite a bare shoulder. The sleeve fabric seems to have found its way instead to a sash on the right side, bringing an intriguing sense of balance. This gift includes Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, all in that satiny black texture.

For a high quality corset style top, be sure to claim the gift at the Via Fulo display. It is called Callie Top Black and comes in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is a subtle sheen and leathery texture, very attractive look. I paired it with the ::Modish:: Nadine Gem Necklace GOLD [Onyx] gift, which is unrigged so you can adjust it as needed. The black of the onyx gemstone is a perfect match for the top, and the burnished gold adds a special flavor.

For my final look, I am sharing two gifts that are nods to this spooky season. My eyeliner is the BEAUTICONIC STUDIO gift of [BS] HALLOWEEN EYELINER, which comes in red (shown) and black as BOM layers and EVOX layers for each. Both versions have a bold flick of black eyeliner above the messy tears. If you look closely at my lips you will see I have sprouted a pair of fangs, which are part of  the VORTEX Vamp Gift. There are also BOM and X layers provided here, in V1 which is the fangs and V2 (not shown) which is a slender white cross on the lips and down below onto the chin. Try them together or separately to see what you think :) I am still wearing the top and necklace from the prior photo, so you can see a closer look at the necklace here too. 

My evening is much more interesting than my day was, as I am watching a hockey game out on the west coast. The score has been very back and forth, so it has been an exciting one for both teams' fans. It is hard to watch quietly, even if it is late! I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

HYIS Bound in Love

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I will be sharing more HYIS (Hunt for Your Inner Slut) hunt prizes, all of which are free and hidden inside golden penises. As I mentioned yesterday and you can probably guess anyway, LOL, this is an adult themed hunt and many of the stores are not safe for work or children or anyone easily embarrassed ;) The website has the landmarks and hints, or you can click the hunt object example on the sign at each store for the hint in local chat in many cases. I forgot to mention last night that the theme this round is Bound in Love, which leads to plenty of creative takes on that idea. There are just a handful of days left since the hunt wraps up on the 15th, so hurry and find those cocks!

First we have the Freya's Fashions prize called FF Sigrid Vest (Hearts) HYIS 2021. It comes in standard mesh sizes for classic avatars, as well as eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. There is also a HUD provided with 9 vest textures, 6 laces colors, and 2 metals to combine any way you please. I paired it with the white pair from the Delizio jeans fatpack which is a free gift on the marketplace.

Those jeans came in handy for my next look too, where I changed into the [Glitzz] Tay Top - Pride prize. There are two versions of the cropped tank top, fishnet as seen on the left above and knitting on the right, plus a pair of nipple piercings, each in sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The piercings are bars through each nipple with a heart shaped gemstone on each side, and there is a HUD included with 8 gem colors and 3 metals.

This hunt prize has a daring rear view, doesn't it? The golden member at Spotlight contains their HFYIS - Nena Dress in Legacy, Maitreya, and Venus sizes. The collar and wrist bands are attached, and really add to the look. There is a HUD provided too, with 3 metal tones to choose from and an on/off option for the built in panties. At first I thought the buttons were colors for the panties, one red and one green, then I realized it was like green = go and red = stop, so on and off :) 

I also found the prize at *Flamingos* which is their HYIS Corset Gold. Its corset has panties and garter straps built in, and comes in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes with alpha layers that you will need for the cinched waist. The white socks (stockings) are a system/BOM layer and match the thong part perfectly. I decided to accessorize with the Slave Necklace - Fatpack prize from !Domina!, a bold chain with Slave tag in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies with an unrigged version you can adjust as needed. It is a fatpack not only because of all the sizes but because there is a HUD too, with 5 metal colors to choose from. Variety is certainly the spice of Second Life!

For my final look of the evening, we see the *HolliPocket* prize Melina Slip-berry. This sheer dress has two versions, lace and dot, each in Legacy and Maitreya sizing. I was pleasantly surprised when trying it on the first time to discover that the berry of its name is apparently blueberry :) This could be a dress or lingerie, depending on your plans for the weekend, and it is up to you if you want to add panties beneath. 

As often happens when I make plans, my chronic health issues stepped in and made me change them. I skipped dinner at my parents' earlier, and will most likely stay home from the farmers market but will have orders delivered so I will still have plenty of delicious food for the week ahead. It is disappointing, but better to decide ahead and plan appropriately then get there and feel even worse. Nothing contagious, nor life threatening, just inconvenient at times. I'm still taking the evening off from blogging tomorrow (Saturday) to relax, but will gladly be back Sunday with more treats. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
