Magical Spring Fair Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the Magical Spring Fair Hunt 3, a charity event at the Harambee-Gwassi location until the 10th of May. There are $3L prizes at the event in a magical unicorn hunt object, and lots of the designers are offering free gifts as well with no group tag needed. I always enjoy visiting here, and knowing that the proceeds are going towards helping education and generally improving the way of life in parts of Kenya where needed is a great incentive to shop and donate generously :) It is impressive to find so many thoughtful communities in SL that do what they can to benefit people who need a helping hand, from individuals facing sudden illnesses to entire countries in crisis. These designers are mostly familiar to me from prior rounds of this event or other happenings across the grid, so their high quality offers are wonderful and consistent with their talents.


My first look of the evening combines two terrific gifts found here for free :) The outfit is the Telsiope's Couture Ariadne gift, a boldly sensual top and skirt set in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies each. The strappy top has three chains draped across the bust, which are a nice match for the golden trim on the belt that is attached to our fluttery skirt. As for the body art, I'm also enjoying the Vera tattoo-THIRD EYE treat here which is a unisex tattoo on the chest and shoulders down to the elbows. We receive a BOM layer as well as Maitreya and Omega appliers, with a marking in the center that looks like the Eye of Horus surrounded by intricate linework. 


Another free gift you don't want to miss is the !AS!LADY OUTFIT from ANNE SILVER. The top and skirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, in a vibrant shade of red that looks to be very flattering on many different skin tones. The top has a front-crossed halter strap, and the skirt has a high waist band above the loosely wrapped front that is tied on the right mid-hip to show off lots of leg without revealing too much.


There are a few tops that deserve your attention, like this lovely ::Sweet Intoxication:: Zara Top - Honeysuckle gift. The pretty pink color looks great on the draped top that is gathered and tied in the front, with a bow there that matches the ones on each shoulder. This gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing and will go with all sorts of pants or skirts in your inventory.


I Love Lida has a cute free treat for us on the back wall of their display, called ILL Maria top Maitreya. Care to guess what size it is? ;) While it was created for the Maitreya Lara body, it is possible that it will fit other similar ones thanks to the loose fit. I paired it as with the prior gift with the blue Delizio jeans from their fatpack that is free on the marketplace. It has several different denim hues in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega. The blue pair here is about to make a third appearance in this post as well...


My final look of the evening is the ANTISOCIAL Tee free gift from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. It is a softly ribbed white knit tank top with the word ANTISOCIAL on two lines, with ANTI in pink and white stripes and SOCIAL a pretty teal with yellow dots. I can easily be mistaken for antisocial as I am rather shy and awkward before I get to know someone, and am not good at starting conversations, and if that makes me antisocial then this is the prettiest way I've seen in SL to wear that label :) The Bold Llama's tees are provided in 5 standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions, so this will fit most of us comfortably. 

This weekend felt odd, both longer and shorter than usual, as I am now confused because earlier I thought it was Monday already. Tonight I had a notice where I normally click to start a new blog post, that my last post was flagged as adult and will be behind a warning that needs to be clicked to continue. I am baffled because I didn't think having the word "sexy" in the title was enough to be considered adult, nor bikini shots without nipples or visible thongs, so I apologize if anyone got that warning and was either deterred or disappointed when it turned out to be a false alarm ;) I tested it while logged out and didn't see the warning though, so maybe it was an error. Otherwise my weekend was mostly good, as any day with kisses from a precious Boston terrier would be ♥. He and his human are regulars at the same farmers market I am, so I see them nearly every weekend and look forward to it very much. I know the dog's name but not the human's, LOL, which probably goes back to my social awkwardness. I hope you all enjoyed your weekends too, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

TeleportHub Group Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I scouted around SL for some TeleportHub group gifts, and I was certainly pleased with my findings! Naturally that means I get to share them with all of you, and maybe you will find something special to wear this weekend among them. The TeleportHub group is $10L to join, a measure usually employed to keep out spammers when it is such a small fee. I've been a member for several years and have claimed countless generous gifts in that time from many amazing designers, most of which you can find inside a special frame that has the TeleportHub.com website printed on it and buttons to join the group or visit said site. Even if you don't have plans this weekend, you deserve to treat yourself to something new and very affordable :)


*It's Gau* has gifts for several different groups available, including this fanciful Lavinia Set for TeleportHub members. The dress is a very feminine confection of frills and bows in pink and white, and is provided in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The strappy heels with matching floral pattern will fit Maitreya and Slink High feet, to coordinate with the dress sizes. I was wondering why this made me think of a birthday celebration until I realized it simply must be the bold bow :) 


Next I visited Arcane Spellcaster, where I found their lovely Venus Dress as the TeleportHub group gift. This strapless mini has a tiny ruffle at the bodice and lower hem, and is tied at both hips to raise the hemline just a bit more. The gift includes Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing, plus a 20 color HUD so you can choose the color that best suits your preferences or mood.


Another sexy gift is the *AS* DENISE dress from Anne Couture. This skintight beauty fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and TMP mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 10 colors to choose from. The shine is fantastic, and the sheer panels on the sides really ramp up the sex appeal. I am also a big fan of crossed straps like this, one of the main reasons I prefer wearing updo hair styles to show them off.


Maybe your weekend plans are more casual, well then look no further than [>Ma'De<] and their Marielle outfit! This fun group gift is an unbuttoned top and flare leg pants each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Since they match so perfectly it almost looks like a jumpsuit, and that navel-baring style is a sizzling detail. 


For my final look of the evening, we head to Tastic and pick up their gorgeous Unicorn Fur Hoodie. The wash of rainbow coloring really brings pizzazz to this short sleeved top with hood and front pockets, which was juuuust long enough for me to get away without wearing any pants for the photo ;) Don't worry, I will add some to go out in public. There are lots of sizes included: Freya, Isis, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh bodies. The unicorn simply makes me smile, so it had to be shared.

It was a rough day, as I did something to my back and it hurts to move any part of my upper body. It interfered with my sleep, and made the few blocks ride to my parents' house rather unpleasant. Every little bump (the roads here are terrible) was torture, so I am staying home from the farmers market tomorrow morning. Playing it safe is the wise option even if it is disappointing, but quite a few of the vendors are not able to be there so I am not missing as much as usual. I hope you all have a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Mesh Body Friends Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are activating our free Mesh Body Friends group tag and visiting some participating designers' stores to claim their generous gifts. What will you find? Well I am excited as always to show you :) I deeply appreciate every single designer who offers any sort of group gifts, as it gives us a great idea of their usual style and talents that we can enjoy as a sneak peek. It also encourages me to return to do some shopping, as I usually grab demos from places whose merchandise I am especially fond of. 


My first look of the evening comes from Brunsen Couture, and is called Meli Outfit Black Grey. The top and skirt are linked so it wears like a one-piece dress, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The dark grey top has an eye-catching sheen, and the skirt is trimmed with two rows of lacing down the front which is just a lovely detail.


REED has a gift that will help you get ready for a visit to cooler climates in SL, their KIARA sweater dress. It is a hot pink knit with snowflakes in the design, long sleeved with a few buttons beneath the V neckline. Our gift comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. Since we never know when any store will be changing their group gifts, I figure it's best to grab it now while we can and put aside for late fall ;)


The *Gloss* Katrina Mini Dress gave me quite a chuckle, as I was always a good girl until well into adulthood when I let my bad girl side come out to play sometimes ;) The flirty tank dress includes sizes for Altamura, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. In addition to the words "bad girl" on the front, we also see a red keyhole with a silhouette of a curvy lady inside. 


Next we visit ANNE COUTURE to claim their *AS* SONIA gift for Mesh Body Friends. This playful strapless mini will fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, and includes a 6 texture HUD so we can change up the look. There are 4 solid colors and 2 choices with images like the one on the left above, both sexy and yet amusing :) The rear view is rather cheeky thanks to a very short hemline, just like the dress above it. 


For my final look of the night, I visited GeMyles and went upstairs where all their group gifts are located along with some lucky chairs and a midnight mania board :) The gift for Mesh Body Friends is their Vanezza Dress & Boots Outfit, and to claim it we need to right click the sign and pay $1L which will be immediately refunded while the gift is delivered. The alluring dress has Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes inside, and there is similar sizing for the shoes & striped tights combo - Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. Add the 32 color HUD and you can tint the non-black portions of both pieces at once, for a well coordinated look :) 

As is all too frequent lately, my plans got changed (canceled) so I did not go to dinner at my parents' house. This time it wasn't the weather, but something they had to take care of for my grandmother that took up most of their day. It is complicated but they are trying to get the proper forms for a tax rebate that she is eligible for, and will help enormously with her finances which are dwindling due to the cost of in-home healthcare for several years. Tomorrow morning I am heading to the farmers market, where I will be saying a sad goodbye to one of the vendors on their last day in business. Sweet couple, I've enjoyed chatting with both of them every week for a few years now and it's never easy but I'll be wishing them a fond farewell. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
