Gifts from Justice

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit JUSTICE, where their group is just $1L to join and they have a wall of goodies for said group. There are gifts for the guys too, so please share that information with anyone who could use it :) I know the male avatars of SL have much less access to gifts in general unfortunately, so I like to point out when they can benefit from visiting certain spots as well. It had been a while since I shared any of their gifts, and it seemed like a good idea to do before we get into the hectic Advent season tomorrow. Goodness knows December is always busy in SL!

First we take a peek at the playful [JUSTICE] GAIA DRESS - GROUP GIFT - 2024, in a beautiful color called Primrose. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies included, as well as a HUD with 6 metals for the attached belt. I love the way the belt loops down and wraps around our right thigh, giving the appearance of a garter belt, and it looks terrific in any of the metallic hues on the HUD.

Some of our gifts are separates, so we get to pair them in all sorts of intriguing ways :) Here I started with the [JUSTICE] DANI TANK - GROUP GIFT - 2023, a flirty gathered top with crossed straps in a snowy white color. It fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. The stunning skirt is our [JUSTICE] JACKIE SKIRT - GROUP GIFT - 2023, in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The triple strand chain belt has a HUD with 6 metals to select from, and just a fantastic touch for our satin miniskirt.

In honor of the approaching holiday season, it was especially fun to pair the Jackie skirt with another gift called [JUSTICE] MYRA BUSTIER - GROUP GIFT. The red plaid does give a festive flavor, while the style could heat things up faster than a fireplace ;) There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD with 6 metals each for the eyelets and bars that hold things together in the front. The pairing is sexy without showing off too much, so it made me smile.

The [JUSTICE] ALTITUDE BIKINI - GROUP GIFT - 2023 is just the right thing to pack for your next beach vacation. It includes the upper and lower pieces each with or without materials, all in sizes for Freya, Freya Pushup, Isis, Isis Pushup, Venus, Venus Pushup, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. We also receive a HUD with 3 choices each for top string and bottom string, plus 6 metals. It may seem like an odd time of year to share a swimsuit, but I feel like part of SL's appeal is doing things that you cannot do easily in RL, like traveling to a beach or somewhere tropical with just a few clicks :) Our imagination can make RL a little warmer, and we deserve breaks when the holidays get stressful.

I kept the bottom on from the bikini but changed into the [JUSTICE] CALLIE SHIRT - GROUP GIFT - 2023 for my final look this evening. This charming top has cuffed sleeves and a sheer section at the neckline, with a very pretty pale sage color for the main shirt. It will fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. You can easily pair this with your favorite pants, jeans, or skirt too :)

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was really enjoyable, starting with the farmers market on Saturday morning and then continuing wonderfully with my family's Thanksgiving dinner. I got to see two cousins and their wives for the first time in a few years, and meet the younger cousin's baby who turns 14 months old next week. He's precious of course, bright and curious, and I must say his parents are impressive with their teamwork. They each made sure the other was getting enough food in between swapping who was taking care of the kiddo, and seem to make an effort to be kind and supportive to each other. The other cousin and his wife recently lost their cockatiel, so the wife spent a lot of time in the room with my parents' cockatiels, even though they are very shy with people and women in particular. They actually responded to her surprisingly well, so that was another sweet thing to see :) I had fun chatting with them about their birds, our past birds, just life in general. I'd had concerns that missing prior holidays and then our grandmother's funeral (still so much regret there) because of the anxiety would have made them angry or disappointed, but they were very encouraging and thoughtful about my situation and about my attempts to heal. All in all, a fantastic time! My houseguest is on their way home at the moment, but also enjoyed the dinner and the company very much. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Fun at FaMESHed

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to celebrate the 13th anniversary of the FaMESHed Event, and I'm sure you know what that means :) Join their free group, by copying and pasting secondlife:///app/group/8ae32885-b174-3f8e-4a70-5df905f8f93a/about into your local chat, then you can visit the area with the fantastic treats for all of us. It won't let you in without the group tag active, which is why I'm sharing the link to the group as well. I'm so happy for them, reaching this milestone is absolutely worth celebrating and there is always a great assortment of sales offers from talented designers who create mesh clothing, accessories, decor and more that help us enjoy SL.

I start off with a fun little combo, partly for modesty and partly for the giggles :) The dress is our small Cottonade Fuchsia gift, a richly colored knit swath of fabric that drapes from left shoulder down to the right side of the body. There are sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Then I decided to add the playful Blossie #12 // Merlina BOM Tights // Angel/Devil gift. They are a tattoo layer and look to be haunted by a pair of ghosts, an angel on the right thigh and a devil on our left shin. The tights go all the way to the toes, and the uppermost area is a bit less translucent. 

Next we have two more gifts combined into one sweet look :) The Belle Epoque - Khadija Top - GIFT comes in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing, with a HUD that lets us pick from 5 colors of the gingham type plaid seen above. I'm a fan of the style and the pattern, both of which work wonderfully with our *COCO*_Gift_FlareJeans_Blue gift. These beauties have a relaxed boyfriend fit, high waist, and pockets both front and back that add to the shapeliness. They have been designed for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies.

The *COCO* jeans also go very nicely with our [JUSTICE] PEARL TOP - FATPACK group goodie :) We receive sizes for Legacy, Perky, Legacy Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD to select from 36 lovely colors. I'm not sure which is my favorite detail - the scalloped trim, the cropped hem, or the flared sleeves! Maybe it's the sassy V neckline, just right for showing off cleavage and a favorite necklace.

Have you ever tried on a gift that made you think wow, this is just too good and I need to share? Well that's exactly what *Tentacio* Skating day had me thinking! The piece called 'skateboard day' is in my right hand, a fun pastel colored board and a headset whose cord is dangling down a bit. The 'banana pop' attachment is in my left hand, a frozen banana dipped in white chocolate and decorated to look like an adorable bunny :) The pink bow on the ear made me think Hello Kitty of course, so bonus points for that detail. It all works really well with the casual vibe my outfit has.

For my final look of the evening, I decided to play with our [HU] Hania Swimsuit_Purple !! gift from Have Unequal. Well, to be fair I was playing with the HUD included ;) The swimsuit comes in Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh body sizes, and the HUD I mentioned offers 14 solid colors and 8 patterns apiece for the breast and belly sections, 14 solid colors for the edges, and the option to show/hide the belly section. So that's exactly what I did on the right, hid that panel for an extra tantalizing view. HUDs make me very happy, what can I say?

I am still laughing at myself for a little brain fart I had this morning...my family was ordering takeout from a local favorite place to celebrate a birthday tonight, and I picked a really tasty sounding salad that I'd never had before. The problem is that I apparently forgot that salad dressing exists, LOL, so I didn't pick one out. Since I didn't specify, they gave me balsamic, which is not the best idea for someone with extra sensitive tastebuds. I know lots of people love it, but I absolutely cannot stand the smell or taste of balsamic, so at least it was on the side. I promise we can still be friends if you like it, as long as you don't try to force me to eat it ;) The salad was very good, and the gluten free birthday cake was decent, so overall it was a nice evening. The weekend is looking busy, as I will be doing a video call with a family gathering on Sunday and then having therapy a few hours later. Not sure what I'll be doing Saturday, but I think some good rest will be needed. I hope you've all got a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Group Goodies From Justice

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting [JUSTICE], where you'll find a generous helping of group gifts for men and women. Their group is just $1L to join, and the gifts are free either by left click - deliver or if that doesn't work (it was about half and half for me) right click and pay $1L but that will be refunded automatically while your gift is delivered. I do have a second handy tip for you - all of these items are no copy, so we cannot copy them to inventory while attached so please open them up the traditional way by rezzing out and editing to pull out the no-copy HUDs. Another benefit to the group is that if you go around the corner from the group gifts, you'll find lucky chairs that are also group member benefits to be able to use. I was in a time crunch today so I didn't get to stick around long enough to win anything, but I am certainly planning on returning soon to try my luck :)

My first look of the evening is our [JUSTICE] TERRY ROMPER - FATPACK. This group gift fits Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and includes a HUD offering 20 colors. The strapless romper has a slender strand as a belt attached, and the neckline is playfully low cut to accentuate our cleavage.

There are a few wonderful tops among the group gifts, like this flirty [JUSTICE] SANDY TANK - GROUP GIFT. It is almost brief enough to be a bra, decorated with stars and has a row of round rivets holding the bottom band in place. There is a HUD for those with 6 metals to select from, and the top itself is provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies.

If you enjoy cropped t-shirts as I do, please be sure to claim this fun [JUSTICE] BRENDA TEE - GROUP GIFT too. It has a star symbol with wings on the front that I think might be US Air Force (my family was all Army and my high school boyfriend was Navy, so not as familiar with the other branches) in a sandy gold that looks great against the deep green top. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. You can probably guess that in this photo and the prior one, I'm wearing my favorite Delizio jeans from the marketplace which are a free gift in several colors. This is the blue, not to be confused with light blue :) All are in BOM layers and appliers for Omega and Maitreya, but I'm wearing the BOM because it's quick and easy.

I am enjoying slightly warmer weather in RL, so the temptation is strong with this sexy [JUSTICE] CEIJA BIKINI - GROUP GIFT to head to the nearest beach or pool! The upper and lower portions are each provided in 2 colors, the one on the right above being labeled v2, and all of these come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There's also a handy HUD inside for the beads, with 24 colors to add some variety. You can see them on all the tails of the bows, in a whitish hue on the left but more of an orange color to the right. They are much less subtle in person, but a very fun touch :)

My final look of the night is the gorgeous [JUSTICE] COCO DRESS - GROUP GIFT in a dark teal that reminds me of a peacock feather's color. The style is terrific too, halter neck linked to the dress by a large round loop, and barely attached sleeve cuffs. There are built in panties too, noteworthy because the enclosed HUD has 42 color choices for them as well as 6 metals and on/off buttons for the panties and arm cuffs. Those are the buttons on the upper left of the HUD, and I tried out the arm cuffs button on the right to hide them for a moment :) So detailed and well crafted, like all of these gifts I am very grateful for their generosity.

Whew, it was a challenging day but I did what I needed to and made it successfully to my podiatrist appointment :) My anxiety really tried to prevent that, not letting me sleep well at all despite extra meds. Now I'm still a bit groggy, but I did get a nap for a couple of hours after I got home. The weather was rainy so it was cooler than we might expect for this time of year, but I wasn't all that uncomfortable because anxiety attacks tend to make me lose touch with things like temperature. The rain should stay away until Sunday now though, so that's a positive :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy 12th Anniversary FaMESHed

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're visiting the FaMESHed Event to help them celebrate their 12th anniversary, which is such an impressive and noteworthy accomplishment :) If you join their free group, you can head to the north where there is a sim crossing that leads to an area with lots of generous gifts. As of this morning you needed the group tag to enter that area which is why I didn't link it directly, so my link is the main one for the event itself. Once you've got your group tag on, you can walk up to the gifts and generally enjoy exploring the event. I saw plenty of tempting offers along the way, to help you jazz up your wardrobe and living space with something new.

For my first look, I chose the female gift from Ash. called Eden Dress - ALL. I did specify gender because there's a male gift also :) So this dress has some really fun options, as it comes in an original version and a 'less cloth' version for each size - Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Mounds bodies. The less cloth version is on the right above, shorter hem (one less ruffle) and flirty opening on the bodice where the white bib is on the original. We even receive a HUD with 4 colors for the collar, so that means even more versatility :) I feel like this dress would be handy for various types of roleplay in addition to everyday wear.

Next I brought two lovely gifts together to create this look. The top is our LEROY - Eva Cropped - Pink gift, a brief tank top with lavish ruffles on the shoulder straps. The bold color is wonderful! We receive Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes of this cutie. As for the shorts, they would be the *COCO*_Gift_LowRiseDenimShorts_TealGreen, a gift ready to make Daisy Dukes look like granny pants ;) The name does sum them up quite nicely, and I love the way the front is open and folded down just enough to still hide the essentials. These fit Lara X, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies.

I kept on outfit #2 to add the wonderful treat from ::WetCat:: which is their "Smells like Spring" Bento [Gift]. The little blue bouquet is held in the right hand, and has an adorable animation that has us sniffing the pretty blossoms. I absolutely couldn't resist sharing!

How about another pairing of two different separates from among the gifts? The *Just BECAUSE* Eden Top - FaMESHed Gift is also perfect for spring with its bare arms and midriff, and of course the soft floral pattern. It is provided in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I'm wearing it with the terrific [JUSTICE] DAWN PANTS - MINT gift, with separate pants, belt, and chain each in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. Please note - the chains are no copy, so you cannot use the unpacking HUD to copy them into your inventory...please rez out and unpack the traditional way so you don't miss out :) There is a HUD included too, with 6 metals and 20 colors for the belt, so we can change the look as we wish.

My final look is a combo too, but both are gifts from the same store, Have Unequal. Their [HU] Haven Top_Mint is provided in sizes for eBody Reborn, Lara X, X Petite, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with a HUD offering 2 textures (leather or crocodile) and hide/show options for the waist and sleeve, plus 16 colors for the stripes and 6 for the metals. I have the sleeve hidden on the right, just to show you the difference :) Then we have the [HU] Haven Skirt_Mint which is a great mate for the top, in similar sizes - eBody Reborn, Lara X, Legacy, and Maitreya. It also includes a HUD, show/hide and leather/crocodile for the upper and lower portions of the skirt. I know I did crocodile on the right but I genuinely can't recall what I hid on the right, lol, I suppose the upper which is draped diagonally atop the full skirt on the left. Sometimes I get a little carried away with the fun of HUDs and distract myself ;)

Whew, I am definitely ready for the weekend! We had a birthday celebration for a family member at dinner tonight, so I had a very tasty meal with just a bite of an overly rich cake (chocolate with peanut butter icing) and I now feel like I need a nap, hehe. I'll be writing up a shopping list for the housemate shortly for the Saturday farmers market, then Sunday is therapy where I get to tell them all about my new primary care doctor :) My weekends tend to be busier than weekdays, but we have a new month in SL with loads of places to explore next week so I am eager for that. Meanwhile I hope you all have a wondrous weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Belleza Event Beauties

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's a pleasure to invite you to the Belleza Event, a bimonthly sales event bringing lots of talented designers and their offers that will fit popular Belleza bodies and more. This round has many gifts for free or very low cost too, so that is what we will be taking a peek at in this post :) Now I personally don't own a Belleza body yet, so rest assured that anything I'm showing tonight can be worn on other brands as well, in my case Maitreya, so I expect they just want their body size included by all designers. There are male bodies too (Belleza Jake, very popular!) so there are a fair number of offers and gifts for the guys, important info to pass along to anyone who needs those sizes. The event opened just a week or so ago, and seems to be open until some time in December. Lots of time to pick up demos and return to do more shopping! I'd also like to note that we can enter to win one of the Belleza bodies, one entry with the Belleza group (free to join) and one with the SLF&O group (also free) on a short wall near the landing area. 

First we see the flirty Ruxy-Elena gift, a strapless dress with sheer lace panels on each side and a bare back dipping deep to show off a tiny bit of bum cleavage. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, eBody Juicy, Legacy, Perky, Legacy Nerido, Maitreya, and Maitreya Domina mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 10 colors each for the dress, lace, and gems plus 4 metals. The gems and metallic stitching form a pattern that looks like a bouquet, with the gems being heart shaped for an intriguing touch :) As usual I had trouble deciding on which color combos to show off, LOL, as I was having entirely too much fun playing with the HUD...

Next I combined two generous gifts for one fun look :) The top is our [JUSTICE] CROPPED TEE that will fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. It also has a HUD with 3 designs for the front, the skull and crossbones on the left and pink lips on the right, plus a red heart not shown. This top pairs really well with two of the 5 different colors included in the cherry // Lilia Jeans gift, which are numbers #9 to #13. Each is packaged separately with sizes for Belleza Gen X, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I'm wearing #9 on the left, and #11 is an ideal match for the pink lips of the look on the right above :)

As jeans are a classic go-to with all sorts of tops, it seemed natural to wear the cherry Lilia Jeans #10 here with the BQ::Hello Autumn T_Shirt::White gift from BlondeQueen. The cropped t-shirt with tightly cuffed short sleeves is provided in eBody Reborn, Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizing. The pumpkin against an arrangement of fall leaves is a lovely nod to the season, with Hello Autumn in a charming font beneath it.

I chose another version of those great jeans, cherry // Lilia Jeans #12, to wear with our Limited Addiction - Ava Top Mirror MiniPack gift. The cleverly designed top fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and we also receive a 5 color HUD for the 'mirror' sequined section. They are subtle looking here, but I expect in the right lighting they will come alive for you :) It was also a nice excuse to show you the rear pockets of the jeans, with their striking stitching that reminded me of the various distinctive styles in the 80s.

For my final look of the evening, I'm wrapping things up with the gorgeous Carol's Store- Alexia Dress Pink gift that is ours for absolutely no cost, just like all of tonight's treats :) This stunning halter dress has the most vibrant deep pink imaginable, showing tints of blue and purple like it wants to inspire a shimmery nail polish (which I would 100% wear in RL!) while hugging our curves sensationally. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Momma, and Reborn mesh bodies provided by a delivery HUD that you only need to unpack the size/s you need at any time. 

Mondays...not the most exciting of days, but we made it through and can continue a pleasant November week now :) I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More FLF-O-Ween Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am showing off more FLF-O-Ween group gifts, as there were simply too many for one post. That is the case with most of the events I've been enjoying lately, as I'm sure you've all noticed, and October is as busy as it is spooky when it comes to events with gifts :) The Fifty Linden Fridays group is free to join, and its tag will let you claim more than 100 gifts from carved pumpkins (orange, green, or purple) at each display at this well-decorated event. With so many $50L sales items available, you can get your wardrobe and living space ready for Halloween without putting too big a dent in your linden balance, which I greatly appreciate. 

My first look is the lovely Gorsimi - Lex Set (HALLOWEEN EDT.) gift, whose top and skirt layer together perfectly. They are each provided in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Mounds sizes. The solid black of the top is a perfect backdrop for the silver cross attached at the throat above the keyhole opening, and the ghosts flitting about on the skirt are certainly a playful touch that I'm enjoying greatly.

From ghosts to skeletons...I excitedly changed into the Vague. FLF-O-Ween - Gift, which is a fishnet dress atop a bodysuit that looks like two pieces from the front but one from behind. It all wears as one sexy piece, in sizing for Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies. The rear view shows that it is a thong, but the fishnet and its sexy seams keep that slightly less visible.

I kept that on to show you some accessories, all of which are part of the #LuLuB! - Gaia - Fatpack gift. The picture turned out wider than average so please give it a click to expand :) So the gift contains aura and a candle with holding animation each in darkness, fire, golden, nature, pink, and purple versions, with spell candles in English and Spanish. I'm wearing the golden aura and nature candle to the left, and pink aura with purple candle on the right. Yes, I found they mix and match quite nicely :) The spell candles are also held, but when you click them you'll receive a folder with a notecard that gives instructions for a RL spell for the new year. I'm not familiar enough with witchcraft to be certain but I'd guess there are ways to tweak it for other times of the year, or you could just hold onto it for a couple of months.

Next I slipped into my ever-handy Delizio jeans (marketplace freebie, white pair shown of several shades included) to share the [JUSTICE] MIRA HALTER - FLFO Ween - GIFT. At first glance the pattern looks like classic roses on a dark background, but look closer and you'll see that the roses are looking back at you ;) That's right, they have eyeballs in each bloom, and there are what might be wings with dark feathers in the pattern as well. We receive sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Legacy Petite, Maitreya and Maitreya Petite bodies of this intricately styled dramatic beauty.

For my final look of the evening, I'm pleased to share the Asteria"Misha"Purple outfit, which has 3 components each packaged separately. The choker, sweat dress, and garters will all fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The choker and garters have metal HUDs with the same 4 options for each, while the dress has a HUD for its built in panties - 8 colors or an X to hide them completely. I love the colors here, and am curious about the year chosen 1987 for the middle of New York and Empire State...it's not ringing a bell offhand (I was 16 and a few states away from NY as I still am) so it could be personal to the designer or simply random. 

Today turned out to be a fairly rough day for me, so I'm still in recovery mode and hoping things in this post all made sense and came out well. I have an ingrown toenail that I suspected might be infected, then this morning I stubbed it. OUCH. Being clumsy is sometimes a nightmare, and let's just say I saw evidence of infection when I changed the bandage which was initially there to provide a little padding. So as soon as possible I must battle agoraphobia and get my toe to the doctor, while feeling ill and terrified. Sound fun? The housemate is out of town until Thursday, so I cannot even get there yet and have not called to schedule anything, however they are usually good about emergencies or urgent visits. This is the third infected ingrown nail I've had in the past several years, and the other two were each within days of a visit to have all the nails trimmed so this wasn't me neglecting my health, just really cruddy timing.

FaMESHed Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a celebration of the FaMESHed event's 11th anniversary, which in SL usually means gifts for us :) The FaMESHed update group is free to join, and there are dozens of gifts in a separate area for us to claim and enjoy. I still had fun browsing the fairly busy event, as it's hard to resist the original mesh designs that include home decor, fashion, and accessories. The gift region is next to the main region, so you can simply walk (and sim-cross) from one to the other while exploring. I am always pleased with the wide variety we can find here, and isn't 11 years in SL just marvelous? Lots of respect for that major accomplishment, and I wish them many more years of success. I am amused that they stylize the name as FaMESHed so people stop thinking it is fame-shed, rather than fa-meshed because of the original mesh creations.

I start the evening with our Ricelli - Cher Dress / BabyPink gift, whose name I cannot decide if it is a nod to the singer or the Clueless character ;) There are sizes for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies provided, all with that rich leathery sheen in a pale pink that has a terrific shimmery glow.

Next I paired two gifts to cover all the bases (yes, that means breasts and booty). The top is our gift from Diversion called Mindy Top, and it is a lovely tube top with red floral pattern and trim, plus a teensy ruffle at the bottom hem. We receive eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes of this beauty. Then I slipped into the *CK* Mamacita overall V2 LEATHER BLACK gift from Candy Kitten, flirty shorts with bib that is worn with just one side up and the other side/strap dangling loose. The gift consists of sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies, with a HUD that offers 10 stripes choices (the wording on the straps), 5 bandana textures, 3 colors for the panties, 3 for the buttons, and an on/off option for the panties that are visible from that rear view. Both of these can be worn with anything already in your wardrobe instead if you wish, get creative and have fun!

Another gift combo happened when I discovered these two treats while unpacking all these generous goodies, which always feels like a holiday :) The [JUSTICE] VIVIAN TANK - SPRING GIFT has a sweet floral pattern and fluttery short hem, with shoulder straps that tie beneath each arm to dangle in long loose bows. There are Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique sizes included, with a 20 color HUD for the strings. I had some fun mixing patterns by adding the (fd) Study Buddy Short - P Houndstooth gift, since neither print is especially large or loud. These classic gathered waist shorts come in sizes to fit eBody Reborn, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, with an 18 color HUD for the built in belt. There are also 8 metal choices on the HUD so you can even change up the buckle's appearance for even more versatility. 

Pink Cream Pie has a wonderful treat called !PCP :: Gia [Blossom] waiting for us in the gift area. This tank top and skirt pairing is designed for Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and there are panties built into the skirt whose color we can adjust with the HUD included in the gift. It has 24 choices as well as an on/off, and you can see it above as the string on the left hip that is pale aqua on the left and hot pink in the right half of my photo. I wanted to coordinate with the floral fabric while making sure it was noticeable enough for me to point it out.

My final look of the night brings the sexy and the elegant! Kaithleen's Lismore Dress - Plum is a sheer full length gown with daring scoop cutout on the left side from the hip down, and panties built in. It fits Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy Boobs mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 20 colors each for the straps, trim, and panties, plus 4 metals and on/off for the panties. On the left I mixed things up a bit to show the various HUD tinting areas with red straps, blue trim, and purple panties. The leopard print really caught my eye here too, just an overall striking look :)

It was an adventure of a day yesterday, as I went to the dermatologist who did an incision and drainage on my abscess (not fun but necessary) and prescribed antibiotics. Then I got a little rest between doses of meds and going to my parents' for a family birthday celebration. I managed to enjoy myself through any discomfort, and am glad to be on the path to healing. No dinner plans for tomorrow like I normally would have, as yesterday's dinner was the reschedule based on their plans (high school reunions) for the next few days. They are generally busy people for being in their 70s, and it is impressive that they can be so that is not a complaint :) I'll be resting and recuperating, and I have more gifts from FaMESHed to share tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Evil Bunny Eggs

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have another handful of Evil Bunny Hunt 13 prizes to show off, for you to possibly find to start your weekend. There are so many terrific possibilities, just have a peek at the hunt's website for landmarks, hints, and preview images of most of the generous $1L rewards for finding nice eggs (dressed up like angels) or evil eggs (dressed like devils). We have until the end of the month to enjoy this hunt, and some items are Easter themed but not all so it is not too late to have some fun with these eggs :)

My first look of the evening is one of two prizes we can claim from Emerald Couture, their EC Lunette Mini Dress White from inside the nice egg. This beautiful dress has a knotted hem and scoop back, so it shows plenty of skin for such a nice angelic gift ;) There are 5 standard sizes included, along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. 

Over at Artic Storm, we are looking for a nice egg that contains the flirty *AS* Heidal Top & Skirt Pink_Stripe outfit. The pink lace top is sheer, so that could call for pasties or a bra layered beneath to wear at certain venues. It looks terrific with the ruffled skirt whose left side is raised provocatively, and both pieces are included in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing. There is also a beautiful white butterfly panty that is a system/BOM layer, which I was delighted to see in the folder when unpacking because I am a longtime fan of Artic Storm and know they make stunning lingerie.

Ladies and gents, I am embarrassed to admit that I did not read the description on the image of this adorable Max Magic hunt prize at first and nearly made this an adult post ;) The charming ::MM:: Watermelon Sugar patchwork women's Overalls is inside the nice egg at the store, while a men's treat can be found by locating their evil egg. The image does say "without shirt", so what we receive is the denim overalls in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, plus a HUD with two shades of denim that are both shown above. Once I realized my nipples were winning a game of peekaboo, LOL, I improvised and headed to the marketplace where I found a versatile free gift from Gacha Girlz called Isis Top 7 colors. They are jacket system layers which work perfectly for BOM (bakes on mesh), and we receive blue, green, lavender, pink, red, white, and yellow. Now you probably have something in your inventory already that you can wear with these overalls, from tube tops to long sleeved sweaters, but I do recommend a BOM or applier type layer rather than mesh because they don't always play nicely together. I tried it with the Artic Storm top and it didn't go well, since they weren't rigged with each other in mind. That is no shade towards either clothing item at all or the designers, it is simply a suggestion based on my experience :)

If your weekend is looking steamy, head over to [JUSTICE] where you can find a nice egg that contains this breezy LANA ROMPER - TOPAZ prize. Topaz is one of those gemstones that has a wide range of colors, so the name made me think of blue or yellow, but I must admit to purple being my favorite color so this beauty made me extremely happy. There are Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes awaiting us for finding the egg.

For my final look of the night, I headed to )O( Moon Goddess and claimed their Spring Dress Green prize from a nice egg. It has a sleek slip dress feeling to it, with bare back and slits on each hip as well as the gorgeous embroidered neckline that absolutely caught my eye immediately. We receive an unpacker HUD with each size having its own button so we only need to deliver what we wish of their Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. The color is such an ideal choice for this time of year, yet I can easily see it working for mid-March, late December, or whenever makes you happy.

It almost felt a bit like summer here today, with warmth and humidity that had me wearing short sleeves to my parents' for dinner. It was a nice visit, and I am always amused at their rescue birds and the way they are too shy to get within several feet of me (or my mom, but they like my dad sometimes) but want to be included in conversations and will chirp back if we look towards them when talking and say their names. They had 2 neglectful homes before my parents took them in, and those emotional wounds run deep I guess. We looked at pictures my mom found of birds we had in the 90s and 00s, oh and a few from the 70s when I was an itty bitty magpie ;) Tomorrow is the farmers market, then I am relaxing before another week sneaks up on me. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
