Happy Weekend Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got another event to tell you about, the Happy Weekend Anniversary event from ACCESS. That means that you'll want to be a part of the ACCESS group (free to join) and that tag will let you claim gift at many of the booths here at the event. We get to pet (click) the cutest kitties to get our gifts, and they're sitting in pretty cupcakes for that extra dose of sweet :) They are celebrating 7 wonderful years of bringing weekend sales to the grid, and this event round lasts until the 30th of July.

My first look is the lovely Gaia - anna halter neck top & low panty gift. It gives retro swimsuit vibes with a modern twist, so it can be worn as a shorts outfit as well :) There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Reborn, Juicy Rolls, and Waifu mesh bodies, and the pieces can be worn individually or together as shown. The polka dots are a fantastic detail, and I've always been a fan of pink and white as a combo. 

I am also having lots of fun with our Alice Dress - FATPACK gift from Black Flowers. The neckline is cut daringly low, and the fabric just looks so soft and flowing :) We receive Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, along with a HUD that lets us pick from 12 colors each for top, skirt, and belt. Choosing the same color for all gives a sense of elegance, and I think I was feeling a bit more playful by mixing things up. 

Next I combined two generous gifts for one look, and I think it turned out really nicely :) The CATARSIS - POGO Corset - BLK is the irresistible top I chose, with lacing in the front and a small zipper in the back. It comes in sizing for Kupra Squeezed, Legacy, Bombshell, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The style would look right at home over your favorite jeans or a sassy skirt too, just depends on your personal style. I'm wearing it with the Galagher - Mona Edition 5 pants, a gift which I think of as 'convertible' since it can be worn as shown or with just the upper portion above the knees. The chains are attached to the lower piece which is labeled "remove this", with both pieces designed to fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn bodies. The fabric is so eye-catching with its newspaper print, although I just had an "oh no, I'm so old" moment by realizing that soon the younger generations won't even know what that is. Well you see, kids, we used to chop down trees and mash them up to make paper, and that's how we got our news in the morning...no, no computers or phones...LOL. 

Not only do we get to see the shorter version of those pants here, but I've paired them with another gift :) That would be our TRASH. Drycell Turtleneck (Femm) - Delulu Gift, with tiny rainbow writing on the front that says "Hot Girls are Delulu". There are sizes for Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu bodies included, as well as a HUD with 3 states of distress. The one on the left is the longest and least shredded, while you can almost tell that the one on the right above has the front lifted high enough to bare our breasts and raise the back a bit too. 

One final peek for the evening, this is the EUTHA - Lilith Lingerie BLACK gift. Isn't she sexy? The bralette and panties are separates that will fit Lara X, Legacy, Pushup, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs bodies. I'm not certain if the main material is meant to be leather or latex, but that and the lace trim got me humming "Leather and Lace" by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley :) My brain just does that, lol, as it's overly full of 80s lyrics and song titles. Sometimes they just break free. 

I'm slow tonight and running late, so let me hurry and wrap this up with wishes for a beautiful day/evening, and many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Wasteland Birthday

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're getting our grunge on with the Wasteland Event and their 2nd birthday round. As that so often means in SL, we are celebrating with lots of gifts, which can be found in black giftboxes hanging from dark chains at nearly every display. You'll need the free group tag for most of them, and a few are set up to buy for $1L but it is refunded immediately while the gift is delivered to you. I believe that is to create a record in their vendor system, so you could get it redelivered if you ever needed to :) Best wishes to Wasteland on their anniversary, and may they have continued success in this wild world of SL.

Our Galagher - Laura Shirt Edition 1 gift has some words of wisdom on it that I took to heart earlier. Those would be "Keep calm, and everything gonna be okay", in a circle around the image in the middle. The cropped long sleeve top is provided in Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizes, and I'm wearing it with my favorite marketplace gift which is the Delizio jeans. You're about to see them a few more times too, so you can see why I find them so handy.

I got a kick out of our .Estus. - Mara Top - Fatpack gift, as there are 3 different feline designs you can choose from for the image on the front, or you can go with a solid color. All of these options are in 4 colors apiece for a total of 16 options, so you could wear this fun tee several times in a row without people even realizing it is the same free gift :) In addition to the HUD, we receive the shirt in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

There are a few excellent tattoos among our many gifts, so I spun around a bit here to show you the { aa } Atomic Tramp Stamp - BoM gift from anxious angel. I certainly identify with the brand's name ;) The gift includes 5 opacity levels - 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% - so we can decide if we want it to appear freshly inked or slightly broken in. 

I kept the jeans on for this next look, but I suspect it was meant to be worn alone ;) The CryBunBun - Daddy's Issue Top - Third Eye gift is provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a BOM alpha layer designed for each size which you will need to add to help with the cinched in appearance of the roped upper part of the top. The ropes creating a pentagram layered over the third eye image is such a striking combo, and there is just as much attention to detail in the back with the way the ropes have been knotted. 

For my final look of the night, I am wearing the Stiff - Wicked Dress - Black gift, which is sure to put you in mind of this spooky season. There are Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes included, along with a HUD that offers 3 bones textures and 3 metals. So we can wear our bones white, white and bloody, or (not shown) black that looks almost charred and would blend in with the dress a bit more if it weren't for the fact that they are 3D and do stand out from the fabric. The metal choices are for the rear zipper, which I am now chuckling over the fact that the skeletal hands can't reach to help us with the zipper from that angle, but they sure can cop a feel! They're just providing some support, like an underwire bra but more spooky?

Whew, my day was a whirlwind and even more than I had expected! I managed to find time to prep for this blog post obviously, then got a little bit of sleep before heading to the podiatrist. That was painful for the anxiety and for both big toes, which both had ingrowing nails that needed removing (snip, pull, poke, all the fun) so they are bandaged and throbbing. While out, I got a text from my Hello Kitty gaming friend (we'd played together on Tuesday 'instead' because of my Thursday appt) who wanted to know if I'd have time to play with her when I got home because she obtained rare items to give to me that I desperately needed. Yay, bonus gaming together! That was unexpected but fun as always, but I am a little bit sleep deprived now so I hope I made sense throughout this post. Tomorrow I'm looking forward to dinner at my parents', and then the weekend will be here before we know it :) I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Anniversary Reborn

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the eBody Reborn Event, which is celebrating its 3rd anniversary right now with special  promo gifts from $0L - $50L. Don't let the name fool you, the gifts are not all exclusively for the Reborn bodies, in fact I am wearing my Legacy body tonight and everything I am sharing works perfectly for it :) There are multiple sizes included in most of the gifts, which are all inside boxes with the event logo on them that reminded me of slender milk cartons in shape. I'll attribute that to the folded tops, you'll see what I mean. No group tag is needed for these, just be mindful of the prices so you don't accidentally pay more than you intend to. All the ones I'm showing you tonight are free, either from clicking the boxes or paying $0L. 

My first look is the REED - MICHU GIFT, a steamy little halter style mini dress with tiny holes all over. There are sizes for Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included of this beauty. I'm loving the color and pattern, reminding me of swirling waves in the ocean :) The side cutouts meet in the back to reveal another sliver of skin, very flirtatious.

Another wonderful free gift I found is the .::Supernatural::. Viola Dress Fatpack. The dress comes in Classic, Curvy, eBody, Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing, with a fantastic HUD that has 33 texture buttons and 2 "options" buttons beneath. Each of the 33 buttons has option 1 and option 2, so there are 66 total choices, and you can click to change the trim separately so there is so much versatility here. I did notice a few Christmas patterns in addition to other potential holidays, so this beautiful dress can be worn any time of year.

There were so many wonderful tops among the gifts that I wriggled into my favorite Delizio jeans (marketplace freebie) and then the Galagher - Cassie Shirt Edition 2 gift :) I couldn't possibly resist a shirt with a cool pup in shades on the front, and the background pattern intrigued me too with its gloves, mittens, and cups of hot cocoa. The shirt fits Legacy, Perky, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies.

Next I changed into the charming Bipolar - Demi Top - White gift. I styled it fairly casually here, but I've also got big plans for it and a long full skirt (think hippie/boho) to be determined in the near future :) The intricate straps and bare shoulders captivated me, and I certainly couldn't resist the V hemline in the front. Pick up this free gift and you'll receive sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Waifu bodies.

For my final look of the evening, I'm feeling romantic in the :: pm :: Allegra Blouse gift from PurpleMoon. Isn't that deep turquoise color just gorgeous? The soft fluttery sheer panels almost made me think of lingerie, so if you have panties that would match (similar color or your favorite neutral) you might want to pair it with that. Our gift includes Gen X Classic, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing. 

There was not much noteworthy about my day, so I have been thinking about plans for tomorrow both RL and SL. Halloween is quiet here in RL, as the local kids do "trunk or treat" at schools or churches instead of visiting individual houses. I'll most likely be doing a small outing, as my housemate spotted a new-to-us restaurant on the map while we tried to figure out plans earlier. It's less than 10 minutes away, so we are about to find out if their food is any good :) Very standard fare for my area, things like pizza and sandwiches and pasta and appetizers, and I will be trying their calzone. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Dubai Delights

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more group gifts from the DUBAI Event and their 5th anniversary round to show you. There are dozens of treats for men and women, including fashion, accessories, decor, and more, so plenty of variety among the designers' generosity. I really enjoy celebrating events' anniversaries with them, as I am consistently impressed with the longevity some events and designers have in SL. It feels like a tribute to the ability of our community to adapt to new innovations over the years while expressing creativity throughout. I went back and saw that several of the gifts with the wrong group have been corrected, so you should be able to claim everything now :)

My first look of the evening is the Savin. Trisha x Dress - Creme gift, which is one of the gifts that I was initially unable to claim but as you can see it has been fixed :) There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Nerido Legacy Pushup, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The tight bodice leads to a very short flared skirt, somehow reminiscent of the soft ruffles on the shoulder straps. I think the color looks almost mauve in some lighting, very pretty!

I adore the Galagher - Morgana Black gift as a simple, casual outfit for everyday SL adventures! The top and shorts are each provided in Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizing, in solid black with a red racing stripe down the side of the shorts. The combo of cropped tank top and low waisted shorts mean that much of the midriff is bared, yet it is still appropriate for most venues.

I also gratefully claimed the Ruxy-Selena Mesh Dress flower red gift, and got a bit of a surprise when I tried it on the first time and saw that from certain angles the left nipple is very visible. I only mention this so you can have pasties ready if you plan on heading somewhere that it would be a problem, no shaming intended :) It looks like a dress shirt but without the collar, buttoned off to the side with a few upper buttons popped open, in a vibrant red satin adorned with bunches of blossoms. This dress will fit Freya, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. 

Mellani's has two dresses inside their gift box for us, so I'm showing off the "Emy" Print 1 on the left above and "Emy" Print 3 on the right. The styling is the same, but the fabric patterns are wildly different which I am enjoying quite a bit :) Each is included in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The skirt is even shorter in the back, and the bodice has a sheer geometric section like a square with a triangle at the bottom. The sweetheart neckline and tulip skirt shape are definitely eye-catching touches too.

My final look of the night is a romantic gift from HER which is named CAMILLE DRESS. It's got terrific sleeves, full but gathered twice (see the bow on the upper part?) with a square neckline and tight bodice. The fabric is decorated with white hearts, wide enough that they could almost be mistaken for birds or open books at a glance. Neither of those mistakes would be a bad thing in my mind :) Now to decide what jewelry to add before wearing this somewhere fun...

It was a busy morning as I was visiting the SL20B Shop & Hop, well at least getting started since there are 24 regions this time around! 4 of those are adult and I haven't been to them yet, so I'm half curious and half afraid of what I'll find there ;) I think I visited 7 or 8 regions so far, honestly I forget but my hand is aching from all the mousing and arrow key pressing. Then I'll be doing it again later, so no rest for the weary fingers. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

11 Years of Cosmo

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting round two of the Cosmopolitan event's 11th anniversary, where the celebration includes free group gifts in wooden crates at most of the designers' displays. The Cosmopolitan group is free to join, and what better way to stay informed about the twice a month, two week long event rounds? There are exclusive offers, discounts, and much more in every single round, from top designers you either already know and love, or are about to get introductions to in the best way :) If you visited the first round of April and claimed some of the group gifts, most of these are new (either different designer or same designer but new gift) so please feel free to visit again as all of the sales offers are new too.

My first look this evening is the stunning KR MAEVA DRESS -GREEN- gift from KENNY ROWLANDS. This lovely satin dress has a sheer black corset type layer for the bodice, with the satin gathered and draped to accentuate the bust. There are sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies included in this thoughtful gift.

Next I combined two gifts for one breezy summer look. The top is our eXxEsS : Top No. 6 black gift, a halter with crossed straps in the back and a fun bared midriff. It fits Cinn&Chai, Hourglass, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I love the subtle embossed texture that looks like tiny sequins :) As for the flirty shorts, they are the Galagher - Flavia Short Fatpack gift and are quite versatile. They have included sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and there is a HUD with 9 colors each for the main shorts, waistband, and trim on the side slits. That creates plenty of possibilities to match nearly any top you could wish to wear it with, and the shorts are so fun for this time of year!

I kept the Galagher shorts on here but changed into the Cherry Up! Diana Top. Heart Black gift for this look :) The seams on the corset give a heart shaped look to me, as the sweetheart neckline is like the top of a ♥ and the boning nearly meets in the middle at the bottom. We receive eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn Juicy sizes of this beauty. 

Summer will be here before we know it, and since we can visit tropical sims year-round, this wonderful [ADD] Marie Bikini - Pattern04 will always come in handy. Its unpacker HUD lets you choose only the sizes you need to deliver from eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The folder it gives you contains the top and panties along with a 7 metal HUD so you can change the look of those wide looped chains any time you wish. 

My final look of the night is the Via Fulo Christy Dress Gift, a sexy strapless mini with lots of color options. The included HUD has 12 choices each for the dress and the built in panties, which is provided in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The HUD also has a button to turn the panties on/off, so you can hide them if you are feeling extra sexy ;) One of my favorite details is the intricate lace in the deep V of the neckline, as it goes really well with the pinstripes of the satiny dress.

Are we ready for Wednesday and the middle of the week? I feel a bit frazzled but not quite sure why. I tend to startle easily, so you should have seen me flinch and make a weird sound when I turned on a light earlier and the lightbulb blew out with a loud pop...I jumped like it stung me or something. Talk about silly :) I have more gifts from this round of Cosmo to share tomorrow evening, and a hunt or two up my sleeve for posts soon after, so my blog plans are going smoothly. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
