Hollywood Glamour Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're star searching with the CMH Hollywood Glamour 4 Hunt. That's because our hunt object is a star like the Hollywood Walk of Fame tiles, with a movie film camera in the center rather than a celeb name. They each contain either a $1L hunt prize or an exclusive offer from $25L - $50L, designer's choice as to which and how many they wish to provide. Glamour leaves itself open to such broad interpretation, and the designers have done a fantastic job as always :) If you've ever known someone who always looks glam even if they are in jeans and an old t-shirt, you might agree that it is a state of mind rather than any one singular look. Be sure to have the Cheeky Monkey Hunts website open to guide you with their location links, prices, hints, and previews!

First we see the wonderful $1L GoodVibes Hollywood Glamour Casual Tank prize. The pretty teal fabric has a playful pattern of things like popcorn, film cameras, and music notes with the word Hollywood scattered about. We receive sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. I really like the way the hem is cropped but fluttery, so not an overly snug fit but very flattering.

Just right for the upcoming cooler weather, Starlight Apparel has their .{SA}. Lottie Yellow & Black Crop Sweater as a $1L prize. There are fluffy and non-fluffy versions included (NF = non fluffy, on the right above) each in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Animal prints always make me smile, and this style with the lifted right side is extra flirty ;) Please note I am wearing the nipple covers that came with my skin, so to hide your nips you may need something similar or even a BOM bra for modesty.

Now we knew that The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. would be offering some fantastic looks for this round, and as usual they deserve gold stars! Their $1L treat is the UNPAID ACTOR Tee I'm wearing here, which says "Unpaid Background Actor" on the front and made me chuckle. I kinda feel that way in RL sometimes ;) Their cozy tank tops are provided in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. Fortunately it's on an unpacker HUD so you are just clicking the brand you need, and you can hold onto that for future use.

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. NO AUTOGRAPHS Tee is their $50L exclusive for this hunt, and I'm a huge fan of the breezy, sassy attitude! The gorgeous starlet on the front is adjusting her sunglasses while saying "No Autographs Please", and I'm picturing her flashing a sparkly smile before flipping her hair and sauntering off :) The same sizes I mentioned in the prior image's description apply here as well, and it's a good time to mention that so far I've been wearing the white Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack gift in all of these photos. They're free and versatile, so I am a grateful fan.

Okay, so perhaps your idea of glam is more focused on the dressy side of fashion...please allow my final look of the evening to dazzle you then :) The Blink2Wink - Marlene Set CMH is their $1L hunt prize (not to be confused with the $50L exclusive that is a fatpack of this stunning style in dozens of colors) and I love the way the green looks with the golden threads woven through. The dress and the sleeves are separates, each in traditional and PBR texturing (PBR is on the left above), all provided in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. It could just be from the colors, but the tulip sleeves make this remind me of a fairy or wood nymph :) 

I'll be taking the evening off from blogging tomorrow because I have plans that will take up most of my day, not leaving me time for taking photos and notes to prepare a post. I'm excited to go to Trader Joe's and see what they have for fall though, and to drop by my parents' to give my mom her birthday card and gift on time :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sunflower Hunting

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are going hunting, primarily the Malus Park Sunflower Hunt. That sends us searching for pretty yellow sunflowers which are each $5L or less, so there are bargains galore at each stop on the hunt path :) For a bit of variety I am also sharing a CMH Kawaii Summer hunt prize from one of the sunflower hunt stops (Ari-Pari ♥) who were not ready yet when I first blogged selections from that hunt but are good to go now. We all know that RL can become very complex and interfere with time in SL, so I am very understanding and just glad to see that the designer was able to participate after all. It's very exciting to share these budget-friendly beauties with all of you :)

@rOrO is offering their beautiful Khloe Blouse Sunflowers as a $2L prize, and I simply adore it :) The pattern of course matches the theme perfectly, and the style is intriguing with the full long sleeves and deep plunging back. I'd happily wear this in any color or pattern! Find this sunflower and you can claim sizes for Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies. I'm wearing the cream pair of Delizio jeans with it, but you can pair it with all sorts of skirts, pants, shorts, or whatever you wish.

More sunny blooms appear on the [Ari-Pari] Sunflower Outfit, which is a fantastic $5L prize. The top and skirt are each provided in Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes, along with a HUD to select from 10 colors apiece. The softly gathered top with square neckline and tiny bow is always a solid color, and the loose fitting mid-thigh length skirt has sunflower pattern options with 10 colors of background to match the shirt's hues. 

Keep exploring [Ari-Pari] to find their Kawaii Summer hunt object too - a striped popsicle that contains the Amikka Outfit for just $1L. That tied tank top looks delightful when paired with the patterned shorts, bursting with kawaii smiling sweet treats of all flavors. This prize includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD with 5 solid colors for the top and the same 5 colors as trim and pattern for the shorts. Safe to say that I've found my new favorite casual shorts outfit for bopping around the grid with Xan this summer and fall ;)

Next we head to Psyche's Pstyles, where the spectacular Sunset Sunflowers Dress can be yours for just $1L :) The colors will lead you into autumn with ease, and the pleated style gives the dress an appearance of movement. There are Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes included. I used to automatically think dress = formal, but this is more of an everyday yet special look. 

For my final look of the evening, I switched back over to the [Ari-Pari] Amikka Outfit from photo #3 so I could crouch down and show you my new footwear. That would be our Adore Amore Emi Okobo Sunflowers, a sweet score for just $1L. These gorgeous Japanese sandals are tied across the top of the foot with intricate knots, and are worn in a tiptoe pose with a tall wooden base. Naturally this pair is decorated with gorgeous sunflowers to match our hunt theme :) You might need to raise your avatar's hover height so these beauties aren't sunken into the ground. 

Tomorrow I'm taking the evening off from blogging because of a busy RL day (podiatrist visit, etc.) but will be back Friday with more goodies :) My anxiety is having a field day right now, just from knowing I'll be in a car for a while I guess. The weather might be hot and muggy, so not the most pleasant outing ever but also certainly not the worst. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Kawaii Summer

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time for the CMH Kawaii Summer 2 Hunt, with treats to help you beat the heat in style. Visit each participating store and look for the cute popsicles (3 color stripes and a kawaii face) to claim the $1L hunt prizes or $25L - $50L hunt exclusives. Their website will guide you with landmarks, hints, and the prices, and you'll notice that many of the designers are offering multiple prizes so you'll want to follow those hints carefully. I love Cheeky Monkey Hunts and am always impressed by the creativity of their designers :) Also the theme really warms my heart, so I like to think of these offerings as virtual hugs to everyone who picks them up or sees one of us wearing them. We have until the end of the month to enjoy all this cuteness :)

Let's start out the evening with the $1L hunt prize from ART & FASHION called PLAYFUL AND FREE OUTFIT. Isn't this sweet shade of orange just perfect for summer? I immediately thought of a creamsicle, then a refreshing glass of orange juice on a bright sunny day :) The minidress and matching strappy platform boots are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. There is always beautiful artwork on this brand's clothing, and for this treat it is a young lady on a swing. As a kid I spent lots of time enjoying the exhilarating feeling of the wind through my hair and the sensation of flying as I swung back and forth on a swingset with my best friend.

Don't leave the store just yet, as we have a flirty $50L exclusive offer to find here as well! Their ART & FASHION - HEART IN HAND OUTFIT includes the dress and boots in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, along with an adjustable choker with double hearts on it. The dress features open sides, soft ruffles, and a silhouette of a woman holding a large heart above her head. I'm absolutely head over heels (puns intended) for the boots and the way the straps cross just above the knee :)

Blink2Wink has a dreamy $1L prize for us called Ichika Set CMH, and I absolutely adore it! The corset and skirt leave a sexy little sliver of bare skin between them, and both come in original and PBR texturing so you can enjoy this no matter which viewer you are currently using. They both fit Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, Squish, and Waifu mesh bodies. The clouds and hearts add whimsy, just like the ruffled layers of the skirt, and I love the way the corset is laced up in the front. Just a note that there is an exclusive offer here as well, a whole fatpack of colors of this fantastic style!

Next we pop on over to Artistic Eye, who are generously offering a few different exclusive offers like this $50L ~AE~ Kawaii Top. Just look at those cheerful faces on all the cuties pictured on the front! ♥ I can't resist the gorgeous shade of blue either, or the fun bows on both sides. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, which is a nice range of popular sizes. I've paired it here with the white pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack freebie, but you can easily wear this with just about any bottoms in your inventory that suit your personal style. Of course for this time of year, shorts are very tempting :)

The jeans also came in handy for my final look of the night, which is our SweetSass Kawaii Panda Top for just $1L. The adorable faces on the clouds and sun above the panda remind me very much of the one on the hunt object, and how precious is this little cub who is nibbling on some tasty bamboo? The t-shirt has cuffed short sleeves and the hemline falls just above the navel, looking very summery and flattering :) Pick up this prize and you'll receive Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes.

My plans tomorrow will prevent me from having time to prepare a blog post (photos and notes take longer than one might expect, and doubly so with my poor vision) so I am taking the evening off after running around for a large chunk of the day. We have at least 3 stops planned, and I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes more ;) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Drama Llama Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to find some drama llamas, who are ready to reward us for locating them :) The CMH Drama Llama Hunt is open, and that means the participating stores have llamas (like the one in the hunt sign image, head wearing sunglasses and looking annoyed) with a $1L hunt prize or a $25L - $50L offer that is exclusive to this hunt/event. Cheeky Monkey Hunts has some amazing designers, and they get to choose which and how many goodies to offer at which price points. Just head to their website and you will see the landmarks, hints, prices, and preview images so you know what you'll find. Women, men, and dinkies will find fashions and home decor among the many possibilities :) Enjoy!

For my first look of the evening, I am enjoying our GoodVibes Her NoDramaLlama dollarbie prize. The t-shirt and shorts will each fit Erika, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. These llamas look very peaceful so no dramatics from these handsome beasts :) I really appreciate that they appear on the front and back of the shirt, and aren't the pert ruffles on the shorts just the cutest?

I kept those adorable shorts on to help me share two of our 3 prizes from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. :) I'm still giggling at the A LLAMA & A MAN Tee, which says "Llama...just killed a man" with a llama who is wearing a very familiar yellow Freddie Mercury jacket. The twist on the opening line of Bohemian Rhapsody just sent me, and I had just watched a reaction video of a couple who were seeing this video for the first time so the song was already in my head. This happens to be our $50L exclusive offer, so if it tickles your fancy too then you'll want to track it down pronto! The $1L hunt prize is the cutie on the right called ONLY YOU Tee, with a llama clad like a park ranger (Smokey Llama?) saying "Only You can prevent DRAMA" above and below the image. Whew, more laughter ensued when I was wearing this one, and I'm sure Xan is going to enjoy seeing it too. These are provided on unpacker HUDs so you can select your sizes from standard, eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. I can only imagine how exciting it was for the store's mascot and namesake to be part of the theme this round!

The shorts are still coming in handy so I can wear the Artistic Eye Offensive Tank ladies prize without pulling a Donald Duck or Winnie the Pooh ;) This fantastic $50L exclusive also has a male counterpart in a different llama, and is a really intriguingly designed top with lots of straps and an open back. The front says "You find it Offensive and I find it Funny 🤣 That's why I'm happier than you" next to a laughing woman enjoying a bottle of beer. We've all known someone who spent entirely too much time being offended by every little thing like people saying heck or dang because it's too close to a naughty word, and were they really happy? (I'm totally thinking of my uncle's wife, I refuse to call her Aunt per her wishes and my own, she is the least happy person I've met in 55 years) This flirty tank comes in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. I have even more good news - this brand has another store with 2 different prizes there, male and female, so you can stop by there as well! You'll find the info on the hunt website of course, so I'm leaving it a surprise for now ;)

I always appreciate an excuse to visit Psyche's Pstyles, and finding their $1L llama containing this lovely Alpaca My Bags Dress is my newest reason. Puns and wordplay make me so happy, and llamas and alpacas do the same :) So the colorful cuties on this dress are making me a very happy magpie. There is a fitmesh M size for classic avatars as well as sizes for Freya, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Ocacin, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. I want to wear this cozy looking sundress everywhere I go!

One final look this evening, we have the beautiful ART & FASHION - SO CLOSE DRESS prize which is their $1L treat for us. The color is stunning, and I can't resist those long slender openings along the neck and hem as well as the one in the back :) Find this llama and you'll receive Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. There's also a heart choker included, which I think is a lovely bonus. Two faces coming in for a kiss are featured in the artwork, bringing a little romance and intrigue.

Busy night so I'm running late, but I do want to mention that I'm going to the podiatrist tomorrow for a follow-up for my injured toe. This means no time to blog tomorrow night, but I'll be back Thursday evening :) RL likes to do that to me lately, but all is well and my foot is like 75% better so I don't anticipate anything unusual. They may need to x-ray again, which I don't mind, and my regular visit there is like 5 weeks later so we can check in with it again when he trims my toenails. Gotta keep preventing those ingrown nails :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Midsummer Spell On You

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're back on the CMH Midsummer's Spell hunt path, searching for cute images of mushroom houses that either hold a $1L hunt prize or a $25L - $50L hunt exclusive offering. Each designer decides which and how many total they want to offer, and the hunt's website will help you with the landmarks, hints, prices, and previews :) The prizes are fantastic as usual, and the theme of Fae, Forest, Magical, and Romantic vibes is absolutely my cup of tea. I've always had a fascination with the mystical side of life, and certainly enjoy being able to explore it in SL. 

Our first stop of the evening is offering one of each price point as usual, and I am a very grateful magpie ♥. The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. HEAVY LIFT Tee is the sweet $1L top on the left, with a tiny image of a winged elephant who is giving those wings quite a workout. On the right you can see our BRITE SPRITE Tee which is their $25L exclusive offer, with a fairy showing her rainbow wings that resemble paint splashed by an enchanted brush. All of this brand's tank tops are provided on an unpacker HUD that offers standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. Just click the you need, and hang onto that HUD for future reference.

Yet another polished look you can find here is the $50L exclusive, The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. ELEGANCE Tee. There is something so classic about black and a dash of red on white, probably the ultimate color combo I'd describe as elegant :) This fairy reminds me of a drawing in a book from my childhood that I can't quite think of (not Tinkerbell although there's some resemblance) with the wispy dress, decorative swirls, and even some stardust for extra magic. She is holding a flower with a heart shaped bloom that is our lone touch of vibrant color. Lovely!

Next you are cordially invited to Psyche's Pstyles, where you'll want to locate the mushroom house that holds their $1L Rainbow Idyll Dress prize. Rainbows are such an elusive yet meaningful part of nature, showing up after storms to remind us that there is still goodness out there. Of course we do see it more during this month because of Pride, although usually not with these cute puffy clouds so I'm loving the different take on it :) This beautiful sundress has two wonderful bows on the back, and halter necklines seem perfect for summer. We receive Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. 

I'm also intrigued by the way that artwork can evoke emotions, making it a universal language in a sense. The ART & FASHION - FEELINGS IN PINK DRESS is one of two prizes you can find here, the $1L specifically, and I found myself staring at the image on the front for a long moment just admiring it. The glimpse of two faces, lips on the verge of kissing, is a captivating one for sure :) This sexy mini dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 

My final look of the evening is their $50L exclusive offer, the ART & FASHION - FEELINGS OUTFIT. It is a very similar style of dress (fewer cutouts but same strappy sleeves and short hem) as their other prize, in a deep teal with another mesmerizing image of a kiss that could be just about anyone in any time period. This outfit also includes the laced up boots that come up to mid thigh, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Their color is a perfect match, really completing the look wonderfully.

I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Midsummer's Spell

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is filled with hunt prizes and exclusive offers for the CMH Midsummer's Spell hunt. Cheeky Monkey Hunts has some amazing designers who provide their choice of $1L prizes or $25L - $50L exclusives, all hidden in a sweet image of a pair of mushroom houses :) While this is a sponsored post, meaning I was provided these items as an official blogger of theirs, I only blog what I truly love and I always give my honest thoughts on them. You really might see me out and about wearing something I've featured here :) The event runs until the end of the month, so we do have plenty of time to enjoy browsing these wonderful stores. Be sure to have the hunt website available for the store links, hints, prices, and previews so you know where to go and how many to look for at each stop.

I started the evening in a magical way, thanks to the GoodVibes Butterfly Dreams dress. It's just $1L and includes the dress, butterflies, and shoulder butterflies as 3 separate pieces. Each of these come in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes. The full skirt somehow adds to the fairy feeling, and it will look just as pretty if you leave off either/both butterfly pieces. Just think, you don't need to add jewelry when you have nature's accessories!

The magic continues with the $25L exclusive ~Sassy!~ Nymph - CMH Midsummer's Spell offer. Its slightly sheer lacy bodysuit fits Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and the lovely wings I'm wearing here are also included. If you've ever dreamt of being a flirty forest fairy, this is your chance! The wings are as intricately designed as our bodysuit, all so flattering.

I'm also excited to share the Blink2Wink - BellaDonna Gown CMH1 dollarbie prize, a strapless gown in shimmery copper. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Nhumana, and Reborn mesh bodies, each in classic and PBR textures. I am wearing the PBR here and it is noticeably reflective of my ambient light in the skybox I took the photos in. Such witchy vibes with the celestial symbols and pentacle, and I see some branches that make me think nature or herbology at Hogwarts ;) The strapless style and the way it drapes around the waist are sure to get attention as well. 

Baywatch, anyone? :) The Harambee-Gwassi Bunny red-swimsuit with skirt is a $25L exclusive, and I'd like to remind everyone that this store raises money for charity to help fund schools in Kenya. So just think, you can add something special to your summer wardrobe while helping children learn :) The swimsuit and skirt are separate pieces, each in Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The skirt is held loosely closed by a gold chain that has a peace sign ✌ charm dangling from it, and it gives a feeling of a peplum skirt added to the sexy one-piece. 

For my final look of the evening, I've changed into the lovely Gramma's BEACH BODY WMNS TANK & SHORTS dollarbie prize. I love the sassy practicality of the saying on the shirt: 

How to Get a Beach Body 

1. Have a body. 

2. Go to the beach. 

Simply straightforward, reminding us we don't need to diet to the point of illness or feel ashamed of not being a certain size or weight. This prize includes 3 pieces - pastel tank top, white tank top, pastel shorts - all in 5 standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. I love the white buttons on the front of the shorts, reminding me of double breasted jackets. We've got a slightly cheeky rear view from the high cut legs too ;) Please note, the same image and wording appears on both tank tops.

Mondays can be a mixed bag lately, but I had a productive and fairly decent one so I'm good :) Tomorrow I am going out and not sure how long I'll be, so I am uncertain yet if I'm going to be blogging in the evening or not. RL can be pretty rude that way, lol, interfering with our Second Life like this ;) I'm nervous about going further than usual and might need to unwind after (nap, naps are heavenly) but we'll see what happens. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Unleashed Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to check out the CMH Unleashed Hunt, a new one from Cheeky Monkey Hunts that brings designers' choice so expect the unexpected ;) Depending on the store, we can find $1L hunt prizes or $25L - $50L exclusive offers, all by tracking down the comic style Pow, Bang, or Boom signs. There are hints on the hunt website as well as our landmarks, prices, and preview images of the treats you can claim this month. These designers always bring us their best, and never fail to impress me with their cleverness with themes each month. Since they get to choose this time, we can learn a bit more about their tastes while visiting their stores :)

We start out with the hilarious $1L GoodVibes Her MAY-Hem prize, which is one of two since there's a version for the gents as well. This tee dress is great as either a short dress or long tunic top if you layer your favorite pants, leggings, or shorts beneath :) It says "MayHem! has Arrived!" above and below a superhero monkey, in a playful nod to our hunt organizers. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies included. My life seems to involve loads of low-level mayhem, lol, so I'd love this in RL too :)

If knit fabrics make you think of chilly weather, I would bet that our ~Sassy!~ Faye top and skirt $25L exclusive might make you rethink that! Its high neck, bare shouldered crop top does have some zigzag stripes that might be crocheted, and really an open weave would be cooling for these steamy days and nights. Both top and micro mini skirt are provided in Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The skirt's color really brings out the deepest shade of our top, don't you think?

The skirt is helping me show off some more treats, this time after a spin through The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co.'s store :) On the left you can see our DREAMER Tee dollarbie, with a beautiful dreamcatcher that seems to have captured the word of the shirt's name. This dreamer absolutely approves this message ♥. Another message that got me feeling powerful is the FIGHT LIKE A GIRL Tee, our 25L exclusive from this brand. I've seen this slogan associated with breast cancer research, but I also think of it as not accepting when the world tries to tell women that we are less than. Your gender does not determine your worth, and I value everyone of any gender. 

I have long since come to appreciate The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. for their awesome sense of humor, and I have to confess that I laughed so hard I'm surprised I didn't wake up neighbors when I read the HIGH ROAD Tee. It's our $50L exclusive, and that image says "Why take the High Road when you can take the Psycho Path" . Our gal pal in the middle there is sipping her wine, possibly debating which direction to go if someone provokes her to fight like a girl ;) As with all of these cozy tank tops, it is provided as an unpacker HUD so you can select the sizes you need - standard, eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, or TMP - then hang onto that HUD for future use if you like. This way you don't have dozens of copies of the shirt loose in your inventory :) 

My final look of the evening is a charming choice for exploring nature on a warm sunny day. The :.C!L.: Willow Yellow Boho Dress & Hat is their $1L hunt prize, starting with the lovely maxidress with white flowers on a buttery pale yellow background. It will fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. Then we can add the straw hat which is unrigged and can be adjusted as needed :) When my dad first got his convertible in the early 90s (midlife crisis?) my mom tried to wear a similar hat to keep her hair from blowing all around in the wind, but it wound up flying off her head into the backseat a few times. That was enough to teach her a lesson to just pull her hair back in a ponytail :) I think she still has the hat, or at least one much like it, to shield her face from the sun when they go on walks. Such a timeless addition to any outfit!

Wow, I suddenly thought it was Monday, then thought no Tuesday...I promise I haven't been boozing it up, lol, just extra dense brain fog tonight I guess ;) I did have my usual Thursday evening fun with friends gaming together, and I am eager to visit my parents tomorrow for dinner as well. Those are good reasons to keep track of the day of the week. I've been suffering through this 2nd round of the playoffs for my hockey team, just playing like hot garbage, and I felt terrible for the hometown crowd who paid good money to watch them lose game 3 in person. It would be easy to blame injuries or bad calls (both of which are legit factors) but we are just not strong enough yet for this opponent. Oh well, I hope you're all having a blissful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Drizzle and Dazzle Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is time to hunt for some sparkly diamonds, for the CMH Drizzle and Dazzle hunt. It makes me think of April showers, which make me look forward to the May flowers they bring :) The hunt object is a side view of a diamond, and each designer gets to choose which price and how many to hide - $1L hunt prizes or $25L - $50L exclusive offers. Personally I like the idea of an exclusive outfit at a bargain like that, and the dollarbie prizes are usually quite special too. Cheeky Monkey Hunts has some incredible designers each round, so be sure to peek at their hunt website to see the previews as well as links, prices, and hints to find your shinies. These diamonds really are ready to be your best friend!

I'm singing in the rain...this lovely look is our $25L exclusive offer from Harambee-Gwassi called Purple french Coat set. You do get a lot included for the $25L too, starting of course with the coat dress in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There's a thong hiding under there that fits Altamura, Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, while the matching stilettos fit Altamura, Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique feet. We're not done yet though, as that pretty umbrella I'm holding has 2 versions (solid and the pattern shown) with the hold pose that you see here, and there is even an add-on called Perfect Rain that is certainly living up to the hype :) Feel free to wear just the parts that suit your destination or mood. I always like to remind folks that this particular store is raising money for charity for schools in Kenya, so our purchases should make us feel good as well as look good. 

There is something so soothing about looking outside and watching furry critters scampering around, and I do sometimes see cuties like the squirrels pictured on our CloudNine Her Liquid Sunshine V1 prize (one of 2 dollarbies, His being the other) but my local ones don't usually play with umbrellas ;) There are two versions of this terrific cap sleeve t-shirt, with one slightly lighter blue and reading "You are liquid sunshine" then the darker shade of blue has similar "Liquid sunshine" wording beneath the squirrel duo. Each comes in sizing for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies.

We can also find a $1L diamond at Hello Uglies, which holds the HU - Bree CMH Special. If you prefer your fashions to lean Goth or Punk, this is the place for you! We receive the fluttery cropped tank top in Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizes. That design on the front is so intriguing, a grapevine wreath made into a pentacle with a few spring blossoms adorning it :) 

I never pass up an excuse to visit @rOrO, so paying just $1L for their Ulla Top Spring is almost too easy of a decision. The unique style of softly ruffled edges and halter neckline looks beautiful with the neon butterflies pattern, and they really pop against either the white or black backgrounds. Each of these comes in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The white jeans are from the Delizio fatpack that you can find for free on the marketplace.

For my last outfit of the evening, I chose the Psyche's Pstyles Parasols in the Park prize which can be yours too for just $1L. The top has lovely puffed sleeves and a sweetheart neckline, while the high waisted skirt has delicate pleats arounds its brief hem. Both of these are provided in Kupra, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy, and Mounds mesh body sizes, along with a HUD for each that offers 5 colors. Did you notice the playful pattern of umbrellas? Well they look terrific in any color you select, whether you mix things up or match them to a tee. 

My neck is still annoyingly sore, but otherwise it was a quiet and peaceful day here. I'm still using heat (bed buddy, long microwaveable heating pad) and advil, which help in the moment for sure. Sneezing isn't very fun, lol, and allergy season is hitting pretty hard on that front. Oh well, at least there is no pollen in SL :) Okay there probably is, but my avatar doesn't seem to have a problem with it. I hope you're all having a great day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
