Hiya everyone! Tonight I explored the Spookwood Hunt, which has lots of $25L prizes as well as some free gifts for the Fashion Sales group. That group is free to join, and a few of the gifts are set for sale for $0L with no group tag even required. So for the paid hunt prizes you will want to look at the hunt keys on the wall, which show the hunt object for each (mostly ghosts, pumpkins, flat prim images) and they generally create lovely seasonal outfits. The gifts are in assorted gift boxes or gift bags, which you'll find as you explore the hunt area. It's decorated in a delightfully spooky manner, so it is a feast for the eyes as you replenish your October wardrobe.
My first look might make your Halloween costume dreams come true! Our {EB} DUDA yellow gift from Ewa Boutique consists of the top and skirt each in sizing for Legacy, Bombshell, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, plus the unrigged horns headband and the rigged bento wings. I just realized that's a 6 sided star of David on the top rather than the pentacle I initially saw it as, but of course it still looks very pretty :) We can wear the outfit without the horns and/or wings if we prefer, to make it less a costume and more a flirty outfit for hitting the town.
As soon as I tried on the SPOOKWOOD - GIFT 5 (which is also from Ewa Boutique I believe), I knew I just had to share it. This seasonal goodie is all one piece in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Did you notice that the pumpkins at the hem are 3D? Their carved faces match the one on our top perfectly, and the black lace trim all around seems to wrap things up just right for this time of year. One part spooky, one part flirty, and one part budget-friendly :)
There are gifts here that are not specifically themed either, like this lovely BLK ~#10~ dress. It is provided in GenXC (not sure if that's Classic or Curvy, sorry), Lara X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizes, with a HUD that offers 20 colors for the dress, 20 for the laces, and 5 metals for the hardware that the laces are threaded through. It's so fun to get to play with HUDs and see what color combinations you can come up with, especially if you're feeling indecisive or need to kill time while your date finishes getting ready. While Xan and I don't have that problem usually, I do recall times in the past where I'd make him wait while I spent ages trying to find just the right shade of *insert random color here* shoes to match a new dress or shirt.
Hello, nurse! Our MADEMOISELLE SPOOKWOOD GIFT is a playful costume that will come in handy if you raise any temperatures around you ;) The dress is provided in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The 'tyara' or headpiece is a traditional nurse's cap front, with the cross on it matching the vibrant pink of the trim on our dress. My inner Bon Jovi fan can't stop humming Bad Medicine now, but there are plenty of other songs that work just as well in a medical theme.
My final look of the night is a BlackBarry group gift called BB - 496. The dress and stockings (labeled body and panties, respectively) will each fit Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD has plenty of options for us - 20 colors for the dress inset on the top left of the HUD, 20 buttons on the top right for our legs, 40 colors on bottom left for the main dress, and 40 on the bottom right for the trim on the leggings. If that's confusing, please just click some buttons to see which sections pertain to which outfit components :) The hearts on the fishnet made me think of a more romantic holiday in about 4 months, lol, but I'm also one to wear hearts all year long.
It was a fairly decent day, and I am trying to figure out how to handle tomorrow's podiatrist appointment. Getting there and back (and potentially waiting to be seen, etc.) might take up too much time for me to sufficiently prepare a blog post, so there's a chance I'll take the evening off. If so, I'll be back Friday with some new goodies :) We all know sometimes RL gets in the way of SL plans. The events that are just starting can wait an extra day, with several not even open for the month yet. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
