Cupid Is Still Stupid

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we see more hunt prizes from the Stupid Cupid Hunt 11, as that silly cherub has been very busy flapping around dropping his arrows. We get to look for them in each store for just $1L each, and claim a reward for helping clean up after him :) There are just so many terrific treats that it deserved another post. The arrows are pale pink with bright heart-shaped tips, and because the shafts are so narrow I found it easier to keep an eye out for that heart tip while looking. The hints help too, found on the website and by clicking the example arrow at most of the stores. 

My first look of the evening can be found at Ink Blots, whose arrow holds both male and female prizes. The TSCH11 Female Gift is a beautiful dress in sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a pattern of heart-shaped lip prints in assorted hues. The result is a playfully romantic look that coordinates well with the male prize because it features a small amount of the same fabric on the tie.

I also found the arrow at Melange, rewarding me with their stunning =Goddess Of Love= FitMESH Ensemble. The strapless gown has a sweetheart neckline and gold embroidery on the bodice, with a full skirt that also has decoration that looks to be needlework. There are eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies provided, as well as a standard fitted version. Included but not shown (I'm wearing them but the lush skirt is hiding them) are the matching heels in the same vibrant red, which will fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, and Slink feet. 

Next we take a look at the lovely ~GBD~ Love is in the air Hearts Jumpsuit from Georg Bellic Design. It is provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I was drawn to the color combo, and the tiny heart pattern that even appears on the attached loosely tied belt. I've been enjoying fashions from this store for ages, so it was a pleasure as always to visit.

Another favorite haunt of mine is Artic Storm, where the arrow contains this versatile *AS* Dorrie Dress V2 RoyalRed. The dress fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra Low, Kupra Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a fun wrap skirt trimmed in a solid red ruffle. Peeking out from the low cut neckline is a strapless red lace bra, that is provided with matching panties in system/BOM layers. It's up to you how you wish to wear these pieces, all together or you can go braless for added cleavage showing. 

Finally, is Valentine's day just not your thing? If your mood this year is not so sentimental, The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. has got you covered with their LOVE STINKS Tee! Our scaly green friend is flinching away from a trash can full of hearts, which are emitting heart-shaped smell lines (hmm, what does love smell like??) all beneath the words "Love stinks", and yes I did chuckle because I have definitely had years where this time of year made me the Valentine equivalent of Scrooge. There are standard mesh sizes provided, along with sizing for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. So basically most female bodies can tell the grid how they feel about romance, while looking coolly casual and stylish.

My day was fine, and tomorrow will be busy (bloodwork that also includes urine testing, as I discovered earlier looking at the 3 page request) but I might be able to get a pizza on the way home :) It's a random craving, as my all-time favorite place closed several years ago and I have been trying to find a decent one ever since. A favorite restaurant changed their menu recently and made my pizza of choice a "2.0" changing the toppings to things I cannot eat, so the search continues. I hope you're all having a glorious day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Through The Glass Darkly Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring the Through The Glass Darkly Hunt, a gridwide $1L hunt with the prizes also being offered for sale for $25L at each store's sign if you prefer not to hunt for the $1L hidden one. The hunt object is an oval mirror with intricate carved wooden frame, and purple glass or at least it looks to be reflecting something dark purple. There are hints and preview images on the website for the hunt, as well as all of our landmarks so it is very helpful to have open and available while you look for your prizes. I was curious about the name so I googled it, turns out there was a movie two years ago by that name which I did not see but sounds intriguing.

ZFG started my evening with a chuckle, thanks to their SEE cropped sweatshirt. It says "I see dead people" in red, then an explanation beneath "OK, they are technically stupid people but give me a minute" LOL! *Disclaimer: I am not promoting violence, just amused by the snark as people acting stupid can bring out the sarcasm in the best of us.* The hoodie has pale gray sleeve cuffs to match the drawstring, and is provided in Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. If you've been here to my blog before, you may recognize the jeans I am wearing as a frequently appearing favorite of mine, the blue pair from the Delizio fatpack of jeans that are free on the marketplace. There are several colors in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega.

Next I visited AdelleArts Manor Fashions, where I was happy to find their TTGD Hunt Prize outfit. The wrapped dress with built in tied belt comes in sizes for Belleza Isis, Maitreya, Slink Physique, and Tonic Curvy bodies. The matching shoes fit Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic feet, and there is also a pair of tights as an Omega applier included but not shown because for some reason it just wouldn't cooperate for me. We even receive a hairstyle that I'm not wearing in this photo, but is a dark ebony shade to match the outfit.

Georg Bellic Design brings us into the spooky season with their hunt prize, ~GBD~ Orla Dress Halloween. It includes Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh body sizes, with a HUD that offers 3 colors each for the dress, corset, and lacing. This means we can change the look on a whim :) I am enjoying the batty friends on the corset, and the shiny texture that looks like it would squeak (like a bat?) if touched. 

I also visited The Sissy Bar at their new location, where I found the mirror containing the (TSB) Through A Glass, Darkly Hunt outfit seen above. The cropped jumper comes in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, while the leather pants are in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The top has such a fun pattern for this time of year, an orange moon behind a haunted looking house with a witch alight on her broom, soaring through the air. 

My final look this evening is the delightful Hallow's Eve Sateen Minidress prize from {Poeme}. I do love a good strapless dress like this, and it looks great in black with occult symbols such as skulls, ouija planchettes, and pentagrams adorning it. The prize includes sizing for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Maitreya, Petite, Signature, Star, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim bodies. I feel mystical yet flirty in it :)

Whew, what an evening...I was just about to try to nap when the housemate summoned me to the kitchen, to inform me that the 20+ year old fridge/freezer apparently died, freezer first which is why we didn't notice sooner. Everything in it, including drippy ice cream, was completely melted and nearly room temperature (eww) so we had to throw it all away. That was a messy production and used lots of trash bags and paper towels, so not a very environmentally friendly experience either. The items in the fridge were cold but not cold enough, so unopened beverages are probably fine but nothing else can be guaranteed safe. I politely refrained from pointing out that I've been advocating for a new fridge/freezer for several years because of the dangerous broken drawer and the ice maker that stopped working over a decade ago. I have a mini fridge up here in my office that is now full, and we are borrowing another mini fridge from my parents tomorrow. The new full sized unit will be ordered tomorrow, and I will be glad to have a new one even if it was bad timing and irritating circumstances. Speaking of irritating, lol, he is having his annoying friend as a houseguest this coming weekend and none of what happened today will be changing that. I just tend to hide up here when this happens, so nothing too unusual. I hope you're all having a decent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Around The Grid in 80 Days

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I explored the Around The Grid in 80 Days 10 Hunt, and yes that means this is the tenth annual round of this wonderful tradition. There are prizes hidden inside a stack of suitcases for $1L apiece at participating stores, with the option to buy each prize for $25L at the hunt object at the sign if you prefer. Sometimes we just don't have the time or inclination to hunt, and sometimes a particular prize might be something we really want but cannot seem to locate so purchasing can save time. I did manage to find all of these as the $1L hunt objects though, by following the hints on the hunt website where you can also find all landmarks and preview images of most of the prizes. The 80 days of the hunt started in mid-July and continue until September 30th, so you have plenty of time to unpack (find) your suitcases and enjoy these prizes!

My first stop this evening was Grumble, where I found their Flirt Skirt/Top for just one linden. The top has those gold hearts built in as pasties, and the skirt's hem is flipped up on one side very flirtatiously :) Each piece is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink Hourglass mesh body sizing. Did you notice the unicorn donuts on the skirt print?

AdelleArts is offering their simply named ATG 2022 Hunt Prize, a full stylish outfit. The black leather wrap dress fits Belleza Isis, Maitreya, Physique, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, while the matching ankle boots are provided in Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic mid sizing. There is an Omega applier for sheer black tights that did not work for me due to a temporary SL glitch, and also provided but not shown is a black bob hairstyle. 

I also picked up the prize at Georg Bellic Design, whose single $1L gift includes both male and female clothing offerings. For the ladies we have ~GBD~ ATG 10 Gift Miami in two versions, each in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh body sizes. They have some color variations as well as transparency differences between the two, so you can try them both on and decide which works for any specific event or destination :) The matching men's shirt also has 2 versions and there are classic, Gianni, Jake, Legacy, and Slink sizes provided in each. They are all delightful for the summer or warm climate areas if you are traveling around the grid ;)

Continuing with a summery theme, I next slipped into the ::REA:: Leia Swim hunt prize. The suit itself comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with the sarong includes in 6 standard mesh sizes (XXS, XS, S, M, M2, L). There is also a HUD with 6 textures for the swimsuit, 6 for the sarong, and 3 metallic hues for the ring that holds the sarong together. We can mix and match our colors, or wear the swimsuit without the sarong for variety too. 

For my final look this evening I visited The Sissy Bar in their new mainstore location, where I am glad to have found their (TSB) Around The Grid Hunt tank set. The tank top and shorts are linked into one piece, in sizes for Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The image on the top looks like a sailing ship tattoo, and there are license plates from all sorts of places appearing in the pattern of our shorts. Love it! 

The weather is still steamy here, and there were thunderstorms this evening that seem to have moved along now (whew!). I've been exploring all sorts of things in SL to try to decide what to blog this week, and I am excited about a few possibilities :) There is just about always something new happening there, or we can rediscover a classic favorite to see what they have been up to lately. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Nice Eggs from Evil Bunny

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more $1L prizes to show you from the Evil Bunny Hunt 12. There are nice eggs and evil eggs to find along the hunt path, with stores picking which one they want to use or in a few cases one of each. It just happened to turn out that all of tonight's looks come from nice eggs which are white with a halo and wings. The evil eggs are red with demonic little horns, wings, and pointed tail, very easy to distinguish between the two. As usual, the hunt's website is very handy to have open while exploring because it is our source of landmarks, hints, and preview images so you know what is in which type of egg. I say "as usual" because at this point the vast majority of hunts seem to work that way, keeping info on their website so the organizer can update it easily from a central point instead of trying to change notecards in all the stores' signs or a landmark in an individual's hunt object. 

First we are headed to [Ari-Pari] to celebrate the spring and Easter season with their adorable new Bunneh Outfit prize. This breezy handkerchief top and snug shorts each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is also a handy HUD with 5 colors each to mix and match, so your bunny background up top and solid shorts trimmed in white will have the color of your choosing. Those shorts are about to be teamed up with some other prizes too...

This playful top is the nice egg prize from BlondeQueen called BQ::Pretty Bunny Top:: Pink. There is also a black version in the evil egg, which is in a similar spot but not the same exact area (same hint). There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies provided, and I noticed that the Maitreya size shows off the right nipple a bit where other sizes did not. Of course they didn't fit my body so I am wearing the revealing one, lol, but your mileage may vary ;) The dark pink color for the Ari-Pari shorts work really well to bring out the cute bunny imprint. 

Another terrific top can be found in the egg at Georg Bellic Design. It is called ~GBD~ EBH-12 GIFT Mavi Top Easter, and includes Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Signature mesh body sizes. There is also a 3 texture HUD with color ombres we can select from, all with a skull bunny logo on the front. The top is cropped to show off the tiniest amount of cleavage beneath the breasts.

Next we head over to Applique` Chic, whose hunt offerings have made me very happy over the years like this charming AC: Sweet Easter Outfit. It consists of the top, skirt, and a skirt standalone (I admit to not being sure what that means) each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. There is a top HUD with 6 colors for the main top and 6 for the trim, while the skirt HUD lets us choose from 12 sweet textures that are 6 color combos each of the hearts pattern and bunny pattern seen above. Their waistbands have a preselected color for each, so I chose the trim shades that matched for both of my above looks. That wide bow across the front gives me delicious retro vibes, as do the pretty pleats of the skirt.

One final look this evening, we have one of two gifts inside the nice egg at Ink Blots called TEBH12 Female Gift. Yes, that does mean that the other is a male gift :) The treat for the ladies is a sleeveless hooded mini dress with fun knit texture and plunging sides, striped with pink hood and panel down the back to match the hem band. There are fitmesh standard sizes provided as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. The pastels add a very springlike touch, don't they?

Because of a dentist appointment tomorrow and lots of nitrous oxide, I will be taking the evening off from blogging for everyone's sakes ;) Apparently I am resistant to it and need slightly more than average and I find that the effects can linger for a while, nothing particularly troublesome but taking a night off is a wise move. I'll be back the following evening though, eager to share more bargains as always to help you look gorgeous on any budget. I hope you are all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Stupid Cupid Day

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a few more hunt prizes from the Stupid Cupid Hunt 10 to share, all of which are just $1L each and hidden inside golden arrows with pink heart tips. The story goes that Cupid is stupid and flying around shooting his arrows everywhere, so we are helping to clean up after him for which we get rewarded with the very affordable hunt prizes. I am not personally anti-Valentine's Day and the hunt isn't necessarily either, yet there are plenty of prizes that will suit those who are not fans of the day :) Have a look at their website where you can find all the landmarks and hints, in addition to preview images for many of the gifts so you can decide if you are interested in each one. My title tonight is very tongue-in-cheek ♥.

My first look this evening combines two prizes from Frick-n-Frack, and I would like to mention that there are actually a total of 4 there since there are 2 in the main store and 2 in the nail salon (teleport pads throughout store). The dress is their Mahala Lingerie Dress Be My Heart Red, with lacy bra cups and sheer side panels that show off our panties. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite mesh bodies. The panties peeking through the transparent sides are the other prize, the Mahala Panties Be My Heart Red. These delicate beauties are provided in system/BOM layers and look wonderful with our dress. 

I kept those panties on while sharing this next prize, the ~GBD~ Stupid Cupid hunt Gift from Georg Bellic Design. There are original and naughty versions (without the black bra cups seen above) each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The pattern is a combination of romantic and erotic if you look closely ;)

There is also an arrow hiding at Ari-Pari, which contains their beautiful Scribble Hearts Dress. It has long sleeves barely attached beneath sexy bare shoulders, and is gathered and tied at each hip to make the hemline even shorter. This prize includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a 5 color HUD. All of the colors have the same playful heart texture that I will gladly enjoy any time of year. 

Next I changed into the .Princess Stuff. prize, called Cupid Hunt 2020.#44. The dress is provided in eBody, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The lace & panties (one piece) are sized for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies along with three fitted versions. The cupid headband is included too, unrigged with a built in resize script so you can adjust it to fit your hair just right. 

For my final look of the evening, I visited Applique` Chic and found their arrow to receive the versatile AC: Love Button dress. The crossed halter dress has bold buttons all the way down the right side, and there is a built in belt that coordinates really well. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with a 12 texture HUD that mainly features the charcoal grey, beige, and pink colors seen above in various combinations and patterns. The belt changes automatically to a color that matches, and there are choices for fully solid coloring with no pattern if you prefer. I had a lot of fun with all the texture buttons as you can imagine :) I do love a handy HUD. 

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

On The Naughty List

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features lots of wonderful group gifts from The Naughty List 6, an Evil Bunny Productions event that I am delighted to visit each year. There is a very pretty Christmas tree with gift boxes beneath it, and that is where we can find our group gifts to be claimed with the "I'm Evil!" group tag from the Evil Bunny Hunts group. It is free to join and keeps you up to date on hunts and events that take place all throughout each year. Be sure to explore this round of The Naughty List for special sales offers and $10L items at each display, to save lots of lindens this holiday. 

First I put on the ZFG LEGGINGS - CHRISTMAS gift which are the snowflake knitted pants that come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. They turned out to be a fun pairing for both of the tops I tried on, like the GFY-Candy Cane Sweater from Go Frock Yourself. That would be the cute green top on the left with two candy canes tied together in a bold red bow. This gift includes standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. As for the tank top on the right, that would be yet another group gift for us to enjoy. The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. SNOWMAN THAT DOESN'T MELT Tee comes in standard mesh sizes plus versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The adorable snowman may not melt, but it certainly melted my heart :)

Two of the generous gifts under the tree this year are from Indigenous, one of those being this terrific Seasonal Outfit. The jacket and dress are each provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, while the socks/shoes combo comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya. For added versatility, there is a HUD included too which lets you choose from 6 dark hues for the entire outfit all at once. 

This charming top and skirt duo is the Indigenous - Velvet Touch gift. They are included in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Physique, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Star, Signature Alice, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. There is also a 7 color HUD with deep shades that really accentuate the velvety plush texture. The gold trim stands out beautifully against any color you choose.

If your special someone tells you that all they want for Christmas is you, the gift from Georg Bellic Design can help you make that happen :) It is called ~GBD~ Mia xmas Wrap Ribbon Bra, and comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. A perfect choice to pair it with can also be found beneath the Christmas tree, thanks to Emi's Attic and their Back to Basics Panties. There are black, emerald (right above), royal blue, wine, and wisteria (left) colors, and all are provided in system/BOM layers. I think the black lace trim looks great on every color.

For my final look of the evening, I chose one of the gifts from Grumble whose owner is also the organizer of Evil Bunny events. This is their clever Grinch Please Outfit, whose sleeveless tee and flirty reindeer skirt each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The pattern of the skirt really caught my eye with the extras like stars, candy canes, and trees, and of course the "grinch, please" on the shirt made me giggle. 

It was another day of planning and discussing things, with another possible hitch being that my grandmother's caretaker is worried about having people over on Christmas eve because of the increased cases in this area. It has been on the news and I can understand her concern, as I was worried about Thanksgiving too. I suggested asking if everyone (us included) should get a test beforehand, but I am not sure she was too enthused. I know it's required for certain public events, but I don't know how easy they are to find around here. I saw them for about $20 on amazon, but I think you can get tested for free at pharmacies. We'll look into it if necessary, depending on what is decided. I'm not sure if it is because of the new variant or simply because people are indoors more and traveling from the holidays that our numbers are increasing, but I believe in being cautious especially for the sake of others. I know I thought 2021 would be better than 2020, so are you all gonna laugh at me when I expect 2022 to be an improvement? ;) I do hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Black Friday Bazaar 4

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it is time to visit the latest Evil Bunny Productions event, the Black Friday Bazaar 4. There we can find plenty of affordable treats as well as a group gift from nearly every designer for the Evil Bunny Hunts group (free to join). Those generous gifts are what I will be starting to show you tonight, as with this many it will definitely be a multi-post type of deal ;) I can never resist free group gifts, and there are dozens in one location so I hope you all enjoy the bounty. The event just opened and it lasts until the first of December.

My first look of the evening is the Indigenous - Bauble Drop Outfit gift. It includes the tied blouse and mini skirt each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies as well as a fitted version for classic avatars. There is also a system/BOM layer tank top that goes perfectly beneath the open shirt if you wish, as you can see on the left above. Black and gold are a timeless classic combo, and the stars add extra pizzazz. 

Next I slipped into the Sweet Intoxication gift called Cordelia - Flaming Scarlet. Our dress and separate belt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizing. The neckline and hem are both distressed for visual interest, and the corset style belt is a beautiful touch. Does the bold red make you think autumn or Christmas?

Maybe you are in the mood for a more summery or tropical look, then be sure to claim the [EN] Emma Dress *Gift* from Enigma Apparel. This charming mini comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The floral pattern looks particularly vibrant against the white background, and I adore the crossed straps in the back.

Does this photo give you all ballerina vibes too? :) The gorgeous dress is our gift from Georg Bellic Design called ~GBD~ Leela pink Dream Dress. It has plenty of sizes for lots of mesh bodies - Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature Alice, Star Body, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim. With all the sparkles in the texture, I decided it was the right outfit to add our [ Achromance ] Star Trio tattoo gift. It comes in faded and fresh BOM layers (fresh shown above) so it works for classic avatars as well as all BOM-compatible mesh bodies. I think the shape of the stars makes me think of a tiara, which may have led to my ballerina thoughts.

My final look of the evening is for those of us who enjoy completing a look with some fresh nail polish. It is the .::Stunner Originals::. Bento Nails Mesh Rounded Long gift, and these luxurious nails come in sizes for Alice, Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Slink, and Star mesh hands. The provided HUD lets you paint both nails of each hand (so both pinkies, both thumbs, both middle fingers, etc.) at a time with your choice of 13 beautiful hues that are mostly solids but with a few glittery colors like my middle and ring fingers above. They are deep, dramatic autumn shades, ready to beautify your fingertips with any outfit you choose.

I had a fairly productive day, and I was very lucky that I rent my skybox from someone reliable. I am a very satisfied Active Urban Rentals customer, and there was a weird glitch earlier with my prim count being way higher than it should be. They promptly verified the problem and reset the region, and I am grateful for their attention to customer service. This is not a sponsored statement in any way, I just believe that positive experiences should be brought to light :) The hockey game I watched tonight was a mess, lol, because my team played like garbage, and they get to play again tomorrow night which is probably too soon. We have reached the stage of the season where the new players are fitting in but oops now everyone is getting injured, so patience is needed. I hope you're all having a delightful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Creatures of the Night

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I explored an October gridwide hunt called Creatures of the Night, which sounds great for the month of Halloween, doesn't it? The prizes are $1L each if you search for the hidden bat (a tan colored realistic styled critter with long wings) or $25L if you prefer to purchase it from the bat at the hunt sign at each store. This is a handy feature for those who do not enjoy hunting but really wish to have the prizes which are still deeply discounted over a regular full price. Then I selected another wonderful offer from the Fall Festival at Malus Park to show you and tell you all about, this time from Starlight Apparel. The event is still going strong, with over a week left since it lasts until the 15th, so if you haven't been there yet I say there's no time like the present :) Speaking of presents, have I mentioned there are gifts for $25L or less at each display too? Treat yourself, you deserve it. 

My first look this evening is the hunt prize from AdelleArts, which is simply called Creatures of the Night Hunt Prize. It includes the bare shouldered dress in sizes for classic avatars (S,M,L in standard and fitmesh) and several mesh bodies (Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous). There are shoes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Mid feet, and a matching beaded necklace with a resize script built in. We are definitely ready for the spooky season in this lovely coordinated outfit.

Georg Bellic Design has treats inside their bat for men and women, both in this same cobweblike fabric with glittery skulls. This is the ~GBD~ Meyra Dress, a wispy creation in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The style is daring with the plunging neckline and of course the see-through fabric, so choose your destination wisely when wearing it ;) There is a built in hood that my large hairdo is mostly hiding, which is also a pretty touch.

My next stop was The Sissy Bar, where I was delighted to claim their (TSB) Long Sparkly Gown for just one single linden dollar. It comes in 5 standard mesh sizes and one fitted version for classic avatars, as well as sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies. The sparkles ensure that you look beautiful from the front, and the back has the addition of a small train and a keyhole opening for a playful rear view. 

The prize from Park Place Casuals is the charming [PP Casuals] Morgana - Black outfit. Its single shoulder top and maxi skirt are each included in a fitmesh M size for classic avatars, plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizing. They have a fun subtle swirl pattern on them, which made me think of a cool autumn breeze on a dark night. 

For my final look of the evening, please join me at the Starlight Apparel display at the Fall Festival where you can find this exclusive ::SA:: Laurel - Halloween Ripped Dress with HUD. The sexy tattered dress is provided in sizing for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Signature Alice, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, while the HUD offers 8 colors for our batty pattern. See, it fits the theme of this post with the hunt too ;) Would you believe this exclusive offer is just $100L? Very impressive, affordable and a terrific choice for Halloween if you wish.

The weekend is winding down, so I am looking forward to a new week and lots of different things to blog. I really need to get to a doctor about my hands, to figure out if the stiffness and pain in my fingers is because of the neuropathy or something new...typing is painful since my fingers don't want to bend, but I am doing my best. For about a week the pain was on and off, maybe an hour at a time, but yesterday and today it's been more consistent which is worrying since I was hoping for an improvement. My mom has mild arthritis in her hands and her mother has a more severe case, so maybe it is genetic. Otherwise I had a good weekend, especially the visit to the farmers market where I got to pet a very friendly Boston terrier. His happy little face could brighten any day. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Twe12ve Birthday Round

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I found out about the Twe12ve Event celebrating a birthday round, so I rushed right over to investigate. There are $12L gifts as usual in black drawstring bags with a framed picture of the gift next to each one, at each store's display. But because of the birthday, there are also larger gift boxes in red or white scattered about (middle of each room, near balloons, etc.), and those contain free gifts. As you can guess, those are what I will be sharing here this evening :) This event is organized by Evil Bunny Hunts (Grumble) and is in a building on their lovely sim. They have a great lineup of participating designers, as usual with Evil Bunny events, so that is always a plus as well. No group tag is required to receive these gifts, just purchase them for $0L and they are all yours. I did notice one designer's gift (not shown here tonight) was $1L instead of free, and another used the large box (I think it was the white rather than the red) for their $12L gift instead of the black bag, so please be mindful of that when picking them up.

First up this evening, we have one of two free gifts I found from LOoLOo & Platypus, called L&P Gamer Girl PJ Set. The other has the male version, and each also include a package of gamer decor like controllers and energy drinks. These comfy looking pajamas wear as one piece with the look of two, in a fitmesh size for classic avatars plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. The pattern of various controllers on the pants made me smile, and I think many SL residents will appreciate the gamer gear.

Indigenous also has two free gifts that I found, for which I am very grateful :) One contains this chic complete # Nine Outfit. The blouse and skirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite body sizes. The matching ankle boots come in Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink foot sizing. I was especially drawn to the golden accents on the boots that match the pattern on the blouse wonderfully.

The other present from Indigenous is their Little Black Dress, which has enough clever details that it is far from basic. The gift includes sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. It has bare shoulders, long sleeves that extend almost to the fingertips, and two gathered seams on the front and back each that are tied with loose bows. This style is very flattering and fun!

Time to get sexy with a couple more gifts, starting with the Georg Bellic Designs treat called ~GBD~ Ida Bodysuit. This daring fishnet suit is thong cut in the back and comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. There is also a HUD with 3 options: plain fishnet, the image on the front you see on the left above "I'm a SEXY mama", or another that says "I'm my Daddy's Princess". I figured it would be fun to wear my new Emi's Attic ~ BOM Stockings Black to complete the look, and I definitely think it was the right choice :) The store used to be Tip 2 Toe and before that Changed Seasons, so I am familiar with the designer and very glad to see they are back in business.

For my final look of the evening, I slipped into a pair of jeans (Delizio's marketplace gift that appear here fairly often) and then tried on two playful tops from among our gifts. On the left above is The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. The WHITE ELEPHANT Tee, which comes in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. That elephant with his glasses and headphones is just too adorable, I want to hug him! ♥ For a splash of pink with a regal message, be sure to find the gift from Starlight Apparel which contains their .{SA}. Crown Cropped T-Shirt. It reads "Always wear your invisible crown" beneath a representation of that crown, as a reminder that we are all special and worthy. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with short sleeves and a fluttery cropped length. 

Despite being technically a fashion blogger, I do not really follow much fashion related stuff, however I have been keeping an eye on pictures from the Met Gala and I have been amazed by some of the creative looks that I have seen. Lots of dresses with trains, many very sheer dresses, and I am curious which creations will be seen influencing SL designers. Tonight's post was a quick break from Twisted ones, although I do have more prizes that you will be seeing here very soon (like tomorrow) that I am looking forward to sharing as always. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
