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!!

Xs and Os Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to explore the Xs and Os Hunt with me. It is a $1L gridwide hunt, but you can alternatively decide to purchase the hunt prizes for $25L each at the sign in each store if you prefer not to hunt around. Either way, you will be paying far less than full retail price would be for these prizes, so you can feel good about treating yourself :) The hunt object we're looking for is a trio of pink blocks that spell X&O in red, and of course you will see an example as the one for sale for $25L. The website has all the landmarks, hints, and lots of preview images so you know what you will be receiving at each location. The hunt runs until the 28th, so we have the entire month of February for this one. 

First we have the Freya's Fashions prize called FF Trisha Tube Dress - Cupid. It is very figure flattering, and comes in sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Signature Alice, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. There is also a 6 texture HUD so you can change up the look if you wish, with all the choices decored with tiny cupid outlines in a contrasting color. 

Next I visited AdelleArts Manor Fashions, where I happily found their X's & O's Hunt Prize outfit. Its dress is provided in a fitmesh M size for classic avatars, plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. The matching heels fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Mid feet, and the bracelets for each wrist are resizable. The vibrant magenta color certainly caught my eye!

Another wonderful prize is the [Park Place Casuals] Jillian Cocktail Dress - Raspberry, a head-turner with its single sleeve and partial peplum that wraps around on the right. It is included in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. The subtle pattern reminds me of brushstrokes or plants, either way very lovely :)

The Sissy Bar can always be relied upon for well crafted hunt prizes, such as this adorable (TSB) Xs & Os Hunt cardigan and shorts. The cropped top and denim shorts each come in standard mesh sizes along with sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The pattern on the cardigan is loaded with hearts and does have some XOXO hugs and kisses on it as a nod to the name of the hunt, very nice touch. 

For my final look this evening, I changed into the ::REA:: Valentines Dress which is one of two prizes hiding at this location (the other is a male outfit). This dress is decorated with sketched hearts and lace trim, not to mention the beautiful bow on the back, and comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Our prize also includes the matching shoes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet to correspond with the dress sizing. This is such a cute look for Valentine's Day, but I will also gladly wear it any day of the year. 

It was a quiet day here, but tomorrow I have an appointment since I get my toenails trimmed by a podiatrist to fix all the ingrowns that they are prone to. My usual doctor is out this week so I'll be seeing a different one who is new to the practice, so I'll be explaining my low pain tolerance due to neuropathy and asking him to please not torture me ;) They are still sore from the last visit 9 weeks ago, so I am a bit nervous. The weather for Friday is still looking bad, so my dinner plans look doubtful and will probably have to be rescheduled once again. Oh well, it's better to be safe than sorry. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hunting Around The Grid

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are traveling Around The Grid in 80 Days with the hunt by that name and its 9th annual round. The prizes are hidden inside orange starfishes for $1L apiece, or you can purchase from the starfish at the hunt sign in each store for $25L if you prefer not to hunt. The website has landmarks, hints, and many preview images so you can see sneak peeks of what you can find, and that could help you decide if you want to purchase the prizes :) They are all worth much more than $25L, let alone the single linden dollar if you are adventurous and search around for the hidden one. The hunt started mid-July and runs until the end of September, for the full 80 day experience.

My first look comes from Grumble and is called Summer Heat Dress. This sleeveless mini really lives up to the name, with its vibrant patterns and right hip with the gathered and tied detail. The prize includes sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minimizer bodies. 

Next we see the Cats n' Kittens Boutique prize, the lovely CnK: Egyptian Eye Mini. It combines bare shoulders with long sleeves that are laced on the upper arm, in black with silvery accents. There are sizes included for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. This dress certainly is a striking eyeful!

Freya's Fashions has a beautiful and unique prize for us called FF Sunni Swimsuit ATG Hunt 2021. The one-piece suit has side cutouts that lead to intricate lacing in the back, and there is a HUD that offers 6 textures for the suit itself plus 6 for the laces and 2 metal colors. The swimsuit comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. 

There are 3 prizes at GoodVibes, and they all had the same hint so I will add for the female one that it was a good place to find a STARfish :) I right clicked the hunt object then edit then the contents tab to see which prize was inside before I bought it to make sure I had the correct one. It holds the Womans Tropix Set, a cleverly compiled look from head to toe. The dress and panties (solid white) each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, while the sandals and camera are unrigged so we can adjust them. The men get a matching outfit, and there is a third unisex prize of a spinning seahorse to ride :)

My final look of the evening is a fun outfit from the Harambee-Gwassi charity store called Boho bright pants & top. The bandeau style top comes in a Maitreya mesh body size only, but the matching pants include several sizes for classic avatars (standard S, M, L plus fitmesh S, M, L) as well as Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous body sizes. The colors are delightful, and there are plenty of ways to wear this with a non-Maitreya body...anything from a solid white tank top to your favorite pasties to a pretty bikini top. 

I am back from my weekend blogging break, but only for one day unfortunately. The poorly timed checkup for my infected toenail (mostly better, whew!) will prevent me from having time to take photos and notes in order to be properly ready to blog tomorrow evening. I feel awful about that because I have a dentist appointment on Thursday that will also cause me to take a night off from blogging, so it will be a light week here at Midnight Magpie. I will still try to pack each post with high quality freebies and affordable offers, and ask for your patience when I am not here. My weekend was a good one, and I am excited as always for the new month and all that means in SL :) New rounds of hunts and events, and many stores change out their group gifts on a monthly basis, so there will be lots to explore. I hope you're all having a fantastic 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!!

Summer Is Coming

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features prizes from the Summer Is Coming Event and Treasure Hunt. They are free and can be claimed by finding and clicking wooden treasure chests at many of the displays. There are an impressive range of designers taking part, so you and your family can find new fashions and redecorate your living space for the upcoming season. 

My first look is the charming Mara's Mysteries prize called *MM* Sarai Springtime Dresses. It comes in sizes for Altamura, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. There is also a HUD provided with 10 texture choices, 5 of which are solid colors and the other 5 beautiful florals. The style is really eye catching too, with the fluttery high-low hem and intriguing straps in the back. 

I also found a prize from Freya's Fashions called Kirby Swimsuit (PolkaBrown). This treasure chest will ask for payment of $1L, but it will be immediately refunded while the gift is delivered. It includes system/BOM layers as well as appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink bodies. One piece swimsuits have just as much potential for sex appeal as bikinis, depending on the design, and I think the chains and thong rear here demonstrate that wonderfully.

I combined two treasures for this look, so let's start with the clothing :) That would be our Cherry Amore Roxxy Lingerie, a bra and panties each in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body versions. There is also a HUD to show or hide the writing on the elastic. It shows off just enough skin to allow me to share the [SS Creation] Tattoo Timeless Unisex prize. There are system/BOM layers in 50%, 75%, and 100% opacity, so you can decide if you want your ink to look fresh or faded. The abdomen looks like the skin is torn to reveal gears beneath, and both upper arms have artwork in addition to the full back piece. 

My final look of the evening is the daring LM BELLE - Coral from Lilleth Mills. This lace top and satiny skirt are each provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra Low, Kupra Original, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. The color is so pretty, and the sheer top might turn a few heads ;) I would only wear it to places where adult clothing is permitted since it does reveal hints of my nipples, unless you have pasties or shields that match your skin. 

It was a slightly better day here, and my RL is getting a little bit less chaotic. Anything that gets things moving in the right direction for once is a positive thing :) I got a kick out of something that made me smile...right after the lawn was mowed, I happened to be in the kitchen and glanced outside where I saw several birds hopping around excitedly where I guess the freshly cut grass revealed some bugs for their dinner. There were several robins and a pair of cardinals who brought flashes of color to the party. I would have thought the noise would scare them away for a while, but the front yard was still being mowed while they were feasting. I am particularly fond of cardinals for many reasons, so seeing them is a special treat. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Early Weekend Celebration

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a fun mixture for you, starting with some Wash Cart Sale finds from their final round. The theme is Make Your Soul Bloom, and all selections are $50L or less until the 7th of April when things wrap up. I also get to show you a terrific Saturday Sale offer that is already available at Entice and will be for several days, because saving money should be enjoyable :) There are even some treasure hunt prizes from the Easter in Wonderland Shopping and Treasure Hunt event. We are looking for small easter baskets to click which have 3 eggs and a ribbon on them, and they distribute prizes for free when touched. They are in buildings and near carts, all throughout the very pretty event area, available until the 5th of April. If you don't have plans yet for the upcoming weekend, please take any and all of these as my suggestions!

Artistic.Rage makes their home at The Wash, and for this final cart sale they have two carts filled with bargains. One of them has these gorgeous Summer Days Jumpsuits available for just $50L each. The purple is on the left and yellow to the right, each of which includes the top and pants in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The finds at this cart sale and recent hunts have really made me a fan of yellow lately, which I never was before so I am impressed! No matter what your favorite colors are, there are enough options here that I think you will be pleased too.

This look features something from the Wash cart sale and something from Entice, can you guess which is which? The tattoo is by Leave Your Mark, and that is one of several striking choices at their cart at The Wash for $50L each. It is called LYM - 3 - Hope is an Anchor - ACS OSC, and includes system/BOM layers and an Omega applier. The artwork covers both arms, the neck, and above and below the breasts, not to mention that amazing back piece! I had been trying to decide what to wear to show off the tattoo as well as possible, and then the Saturday Sale offer from Entice was released so it just seemed like fate :) This is their Satin Doll v2 - Blue, one of 3 colors especially for the Saturday Sale at $75L apiece. Each consists of the pasties and panties sized for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite bodies. There is also a discount on the original colors, 8 of which are $180L each and then there is a fatpack of 10 (two bonus exclusive shades!) for $360L. Lots of great ways to make your upcoming weekend extra seductive! The Saturday Sale items will be at these low prices until April 1st, and that is not an April Fool's joke, I promise. 

Our next stop is the Easter Wonderland event for that fun treasure hunt, where I found this hilarious [RnR] Swag Jelly Bean Outfit (Easter). The top reads "Ever wonder where jelly beans come from?" above an image of two bunnies, well, having some fun ;) The top and shorts each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with bunny sneakers in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat versions. Even the bunny I am holding is included, with a built in hold pose as shown. I can't get over how adorable the sneakers are, and just might wear them with other outfits too.

The basket for Freya's Fashions is set up a little differently, as we need to pay $1L but it is immediately refunded while our hunt prize is delivered to us. It is their Julia (Carrots Cream) lingerie, whose bra and panties are each provided as system/BOM layers and Omega appliers, to wear together or individually. The touches of lace are a flattering contrast to the playful carrot pattern that certainly calls Easter and spring to mind.

I kept Freya's panties on for the last look of the evening, so I could show you another treasure hunt goodie called Loki - Banana Bunny Tee - Yellow - Maitreya. It has a bunny holding a banana on the upper left as a whimsical logo, and I really like the soft yellow complemented by the white trim at neck and both sleeves. You can pair this with just about anything you wish, jeans or leggings or a skirt, to make the look your own. 

I feel so confused today, with the dinner plans I usually have on Friday being moved to Thursday and trying to get plans organized for the next couple of days. Did all of you manage to get the $1L Catwa head from the marketplace? That was quite an adventure this morning, being inworld just after midnight SL time and seeing several groups chatting about marketplace struggling with that kind of volume. I was able to purchase it but it hadn't been delivered yet when I logged out, so I will see when I login in an hour or two. I am really stuck in a rut with this Genus head and how much I like it, so even heads I got for free around the holidays are still lingering in my inventory without being worn. I need to snap out of it, since variety can be a good thing. Well I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Reindeer Games Hunt

Hiya everyone! Tonight I would like to share some hunt prizes from the Reindeer Games Hunt, where each prize is $1L in the hidden twig reindeer or you can purchase for $25L at the sign in each store (also from a twig reindeer) if you prefer not to hunt. The hunt object is really cute, a rustic wooden deer decoration with a log as the body and twigs for limbs and antlers :) Most of the hidden ones are remarkably small, so it will help to follow the hints on the hunt's website. That is also how we navigate from store to store in this hunt path, no landmarks are provided in the prize folders. 

My first look this evening is from Applique` Chic, called AC: Dashing Deer Jumper Navy. It has a layered appearance but wears as a single mesh piece, with a subtly striped knit sweater beneath the pretty patterned jumper over top. The prize includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies.

HolliPocket is offering this flirty BunBun Outfit - Holly Snow as their hunt prize, crafted specifically for Maitreya mesh bodies. The top has a hood with long bunny ears dangling from it, and the shorts are trimmed in wide snowy white lace. It makes me want to snuggle in front of a fireplace :)

This seasonal goodie is our prize from Grumble called Ruffled Holiday Mini - Santa. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The style features a halter neckline tied in the back with long bow, and an empire waist with cascades of ruffles. I thought the pattern on the top with Santas was a very cute touch.

We all need and deserve some pretty lingerie, whether to wear for a special someone or to simply have the confidence boost of wearing it beneath our outerwear for the day :) So I highly recommend the hunt prize from Freya's Fashions called Rachel Red & Teal Stars. It is provided in system/BOM layers as well as appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink, so you can enjoy this with classic avatars or your favorite mesh body. 

My final look tonight is a closer view of my nails, which happen to be our hunt prize found at Go Frock Yourself. Their ~GFY~ Tangled Nail Appliers come in Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink HUDs, each with 5 designs as shown above. Those sure are some tangled lights, but at least there is a dainty view of them neatly across the tip on one design :) The white background makes me think of snow, which is also quite appropriate for this time of year.

It was a tiring day, so I am practically fantasizing about being able to go to sleep in several hours ;) There is always so much to do on Fridays and Saturdays for me, so this drained feeling is all too common. I'll get a few hours rest before the farmers market, so it will be fine. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hunting Around The Grid

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am exploring the Around The Grid 7 Hunt, a gridwide event that lasts for 80 days (ending September 30th) and has us looking for striped hot air balloons. They are $1L each if you find the hidden one, or you can choose to purchase the prize from the one near the sign for $25L. There are hints, landmarks, and preview photos on the hunt's website, so you will want to have it open and available while you look for all these terrific prizes.

First up, we have the prize from the starting location, Go Frock Yourself. Their balloon holds the GFY-Kathleen Swimsuit, a flirty one piece that comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is also a HUD included that offers 5 color choices, so you can get even more wear out of this summery treat.

Next we see the ladies' prize from {zfg} called emmersyn, a boyfriend style shirt that is loosely buttoned and has a fun plaid pattern. It is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is another balloon hidden with a mens' prize inside, so be sure you find the correct one by following the hint. This style makes me want to snuggle, and that could be with Xan or a stuffed animal or a playful pet in SL, it's all good.

The prize from AdelleArts is a hunt exclusive, their ATG 7 Gown with dramatic black and red paisley pattern. It comes in standard mesh sizes plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. 

Do you love the feeling of wearing brand new lingerie? (I do!) Be sure to find the prize at Freya's Fashions then, so you can claim their FF Rachel Lingerie - Purple Balloon set. There are system layers plus an applier HUD for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink mesh bodies, so most of us can enjoy this very affordable luxury.

My final look of the night is a midlength dress called Tammy Watercolor, found inside the @AdReNaLiZeD@ hot air balloon. The texture has so many beautiful pastel shades, gently blended and blurred into each other, with a wide belt section that looks like snakeskin. It comes in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, so plenty of fits for a wide range of shapes and bodies.

Exciting things are coming in SL, as Bakes On Mesh is now live on the main grid. This means that all those system layer skins, clothing, tattoos, etc. will be able to be layered onto mesh bodies and heads, with a huge number of layers possible. I am waiting for updates from Firestorm (my viewer of choice), Maitreya, and Genus to be able to take advantage of this intriguing advancement. A new month will be upon us soon too, so as usual that will bring lots to enjoy. I cut my hand on a glass bottle that had a little chip in it, so typing is painful but I am doing my best. I am slow tonight though, and I apologize for that. Hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Love Is in the Air

Hiya everyone! Tonight I went with a romantic feeling, and will be showing you some prizes from the Love Is in the Air Hunt. We are looking for pink perfume bottles, the hidden ones are $1L each or you can purchase the prize from the one at the sign for $25L if you prefer not to hunt. There are hints and preview photos on the website, and some of the signs have a hint giver bottle you can click in addition to the $25L version. The hunt runs until the 16th of the month, so you have a little more than a week to enjoy it. Please have a look at my "Hunt Tips" tab up top if you are new to hunting or just curious what methods I find to be helpful.

This first look is the prize from Freya's Fashions called Pearl, a peekaboo style of lingerie in refreshing shades of pink and purple. It comes in system layers for the classic avatars as well as an applier HUD for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink. The texturing is so well done, and this makes me feel like maybe spring isn't so far away after all.

Go Frock Yourself is offering their Esmeralda Robe Set-Love as the prize for this hunt, and it is versatile since you can wear the robe and bodysuit together or separately. Each are included in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. I love how the sash on the robe matches the bodysuit perfectly, and that thong style is super sexy!

This prize immediately made me think of snuggling :) It is the Sweet E's Gray I Love you Ladies mens pajama shirt and socks, all yours for just $1L or at the sign for $25L if you choose not to hunt around the store. The baggy shirt comes in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, while the matching thigh-high socks (I so need these in RL!) are provided for all the same sizes plus an Ocacin version. As you can see from the right, they involve flat feet or you can just hide/remove your mesh feet. 

This pose was just too fitting for the outfit, with that "Tada!" expression! The dress and headband are both included in PENELOPE by Changed Seasons, and have the same playful pink and black heart pattern so they look fantastic together. The dress comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes, while the heart bow headband has a built in resize script so you can adjust as needed. 

My final look can be found inside the perfume bottle at {zfg} which stands for Zero F*cks Given, and it's called Amara Cupid. This body-conscious dress is included in standard mesh sizes along with eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine fits. The texture is a lush knit, and suitable for any time of year rather than mainly Valentine's Day. 

I hope you are all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
