Twisted Into The Void

Hiya everyone! Tonight my post is fairly time-sensitive, since the Twisted Hunt is wrapping up on the 30th. That means we have just over a week left to find the slowly spinning cubes, which are dark black to match the Into The Void theme of this fall round :) Twisted is widely considered the hardest hunt on the grid, and I'd say that is at least partly due to the decoy cubes allowed in each store (13 visible cubes total, at least 1 of which will contain a prize) and the fact that hints are never published. If you need a little assistance, you can join the free group and ask politely for a hint. I used teamwork with my partner Xan since he is both experienced and exceptional at finding tricky hunt objects, and we get to have fun laughing about them over voice chat :) Usually it's about who found one first, or how clever a particular hiding spot may have been. Please note - due to RL circumstances the End Game isn't open yet, but the group will be notified as soon as it is. That is always a huge challenge in itself, and my cataracts will make it even more so this year, yet I will not let that stop me from trying my hardest.


I'm starting with the stunning :: ANTAYA :: Sequin dress "Brenda" BLACK hunt prize. Who can resist that sparkly texture? The dress and sleeves are separate pieces, both in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I so appreciate the ability to wear this beauty with or without the sleeves, and am loving how the structured top contrasts with the flowing miniskirt.


Is it silly that I'm picturing a cartoon wolf with his eyes bugging out, whistling at this outfit? :) The Steel & Ink Umbra THF26 prize is not for the shy or wallflower type, as you will most assuredly turn heads in it. The dress, panty, stockings, and boots are all included in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with fishnet galore in deep black. As a reminder, I'm wearing nipple covers that came with my skin here, so without those the nipples will be visible. Pasties would look amazing with this, probably the black tape X style if you've got any of those handy :)


It is always a pleasure to visit @rOrO, and you'll be extra delighted when you find the cube containing their Eden Dress Void prize. This lovely belted long sleeved dress comes down to the ankles, and will fit Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Prima, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies. Did you notice the subtle pattern? It's dark on dark, so definitely in that 'void' realm of the color spectrum. I might add a choker and sandals or neutral pumps, keeping things simple yet elegant.


The [TR] Blackout Dress Set prize from Touryuumon is another plunge into the dark side of fashion and color, with a flirty twist. We receive the top, skirt, and panties, each in sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. I honestly can't recall already if the straps we see around the waist are from the skirt, panties, or both ;) The detailed chains on the top and skirt are fantastic details, with a clover shaped clasp at the navel. 


Last but certainly not least for the evening, we get to shine in the Clothes Culture STARDUST dress. This prize includes Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Tonic Curvy mesh body sizes of the beautiful sleeveless minidress with slit bodice to show off some cleavage. As you can tell there is some sheen from the lighting of my skybox, and the flecks of glitter in the texture do remind me of sci-fi movies when they travel through the stars. Outer space is certainly a void, with the unknown waiting to be explored, so A+ for theme interpretation here as well :) Admittedly I am very fond of all these designers' creativity and theme usage, because I think they are all magnificent.

My exposure therapy of watching videos of car accidents (dashcam footage) was extremely stressful earlier, and tomorrow I'll be out for a good chunk of the day in a car. Doesn't that sound fun? LOL! My anxiety has many harsh opinions about that, but I'm basically out of food so that is a good motivator. I won't be able to blog tomorrow evening, but a day off should help me feel even more refreshed and ready to go on Thursday :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FLF Birthday Bash

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're helping Fifty Linden Fridays celebrate their birthday by visiting their FLF Bday Bash. There are over 100 participating designers with brand new $50L offers in every booth, plus group gifts for free if you join their FLF group for just $1L. That tiny fee is to keep out scammers and spammers, so I view it as insurance. The event is still pretty crowded since it opened so recently (the 16th) but now that the weekend is over it might be easier to get in and move around without bumping into people :)


For my first look, I am wearing the flirty Vague. Califa Top & Skirt gift. Our sleek tube top and miniskirt with bold slits on each thigh are each provided in Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh body sizing. I couldn't resist that vibrant deep purple shade, and the knit texture gives a stretchy appearance that suits this style quite well.


I kept on the skirt but changed tops to the ELEVEN - Ruth Top here, with a different shade of purple that is equally beautiful. The cropped tank top has a tiny heart pattern that make me very happy, and it's cut low enough to show off your favorite necklace as well as some cleavage ;) Claim this gift and you'll receive sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn bodies.


This gorgeous gift is our CryptKeeper // No.19 // Maggy Silk Dress. This shade of green looks like it'll be flattering for just about every hair color and skin tone, and the style is sure to turn heads with the single long sleeve and bared midriff. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies included in this group gift.


Next we see the :: ANTAYA :: Sequin dress "Brenda" GIFT, a stunning strapless corseted dress with white pleated skirt. It really catches the light beautifully too, thanks to those sequins! It fits Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.


My final look of the evening is our KLEIN"Lily"Red gift, a playful treat with diagonal ruffled hem and intriguing side opening. In sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Senra, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, it really does fit a wide range of body brands while looking utterly fantastic :) I think the combo of red and ruffles makes me think of dancing, like samba or tango or one of those flirty ballroom dances.

It was a decent weekend here, and I am a little nervous about my first anxiety support group session tomorrow. I am not even 100% sure I won't chicken out, lol, but it is there if I am interested. Otherwise I am always checking SL for new and exciting things to see and share :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Call of Lovecraft

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several wonderful offers and gifts you can find at the Call of Lovecraft event, which has a $25L hunt in addition to sales, gachas, and free gifts. The lore of Lovecraft brought us the fascinating Cthulhu mythos, and you will see many nods to that here at the event. The event closes its doors on the 21st of November, so you have until then to enjoy the sights and shopping opportunities. I initially saw it listed as ending on the 4th which would have been considerably less time, so I hope my new information is the accurate one!


My first look is from [Ari-Pari], including two gacha prizes and a free gift. Their gacha includes 12 possible prizes to win from each $50L play, 2 of which are rare and the rest commons. There are 6 colors each of the dress and shoes you see here, the Lilith Dress and Lilith Shoes, both of which I am enjoying in Violet. The rares are red, but honestly they are all gorgeous and well worth playing for :) The dresses include Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, while the ankle strap shoes come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High versions. As for the free gift I mentioned, that would be the charming Lilith Necklace which includes 3 metals but I am wearing the Silver. The others would be Gold and Rose Gold, equally pretty with the rectangle of onyx adorning it. 


This dramatic Victorian style gown is the gift from ANTAYA called Black gown "Lamia". It has been created to fit the Maitreya mesh body, and has a sleek satiny texture with high neck and long sleeves, contrasted by a dainty wedge of lace both front and back beneath the neckline. 


(BYRNE) is offering a terrific free gift as well, their WitchHouse Outfit-Twilight. The jacket and skirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The flirty style of the jacket really caught my eye, as well as that deep blue color with embossed pattern.


Next, a look that called for the use of modesty flowers ;) It seemed to be the best way to give you an eyeful of the AseRiz gift called Tattoo Amira without giving you an eyeful of parts of me that are generally not featured on my blog. So our lovely golden tattoo includes a system/BOM layer as well as appliers for Omega, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink bodies. There is a wide range of compatibility there! I also needed to show you the back view, so you could tell that the design continues around and even extends down the spine a bit. 


My final look of the evening is the Call of Cthulhu tshirt female (yes there is a male set too) from VI Naidoo. I did not see a store name listed anywhere on the display, but that is the creator's name :) There are 4 different versions (low, medium, high, untucked shown) in each size of Alice, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. That is an impressive array of sizes! For some reason the Maitreya versions were too small for my lower torso, with the exception of the untucked, which is what I am happily showing you here. Be sure to take a peek at the back of these shirts too, for another Cthulhu related image.

What a whirlwind of a day! The farmers market was so enjoyable, and I did see several dogs in costumes plus a couple whose costume must have been simply "adorable dog" ;) There was plenty of delicious food, and the weather was brisk but not uncomfortably cold. My new mask was waiting for me in the mail when I got home, LOL, so I hope to have it washed and ready to wear for my appointment on Wednesday. The fabric has a unicorn print in soft pastels, just hoping to bring a little magic to anyone who sees it. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
