Shopping and Hopping

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we head to the Poppy region at Valentine Shop & Hop 2025, one of 14 regions we can explore to find hundreds of discounted offers and free gifts. There is romance in the air, but also friendship and spring since I saw lots of flowers :) Linden Lab organizes a few of these shopping events each year (winter holiday, SL's birthday, Halloween), and I can't even pick a favorite among them because they all have unique appeal. What I do appreciate about all of them is the range of designers they invite, so there is a little something available for everyone. I also appreciate FabFree and their amazing spreadsheet, which can help you make sure you don't miss a single gift and lets you sort (tabs at the bottom) by region, store name, or type of gift. That's great if you're looking for all the store credits to make sure you use them before they expire, or all the men's stuff to share with a partner (hey Xan!) for example.

My first look of the evening is a versatile treat from #UNIVERSA which is their XOXO GRAPHIC TEE - FATPACK. It's got 13 fun texture choices on the included HUD, and the flirty cropped top comes in Kupra, Natural, Mounds, Legacy, Bombshell, Maitreya, Peach, Reborn, Reborn Mounds, and Waifu mesh body sizing. The image I chose on the right above is a meaningful one, with "You are" beneath heart shaped balloons saying Worthy, Enough, and Loved, with XOXO on the left balloon.

Next I changed into the stunning =Kinky Pinky= Love Dress (fatpack) gift. The halter style top and skirt are linked by a golden ring that also has a slender belt hooked to it, for a very playful appearance. The gift includes Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with a HUD offering 6 colors of the fun love-adorned texture. Since the wording also has Happy Valentine's Day, you will probably want to wear this one very soon :)

I also wanted to show you the sexy Luta Lil'Bit 2 Pc Camisk FATPACK gift, since I sure wouldn't want you to miss out :) The tiny crossed top and equally teeny micro miniskirt are each provided in Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizing. There are also HUDs for each piece, with 8 colors to choose from, so we can mix and match to get the look we prefer.

Our gift from The Annex is their beautiful Destiny Bodysuit FATPACK. There are BOM layers in each of the four colors - black, pink, red, and white - so we can wear them on any compatible mesh body as well as the default classic avatars. They are slightly sheer (if you look closely you can see my belly button just barely peeking through the black one) and three are decorated with white hearts, while the white bodysuit has black ones for contrast. The pink, which is the other not shown, is a bit dark and a little brighter than the hue of the wall behind me, so its hearts are on the subtle side. Crossed halter necklines are extra fun when they create a keyhole opening in the front like that, don't you think? I also have the urge to layer skirts over this, maybe even a short jacket or cropped top for cooler weather.

For my final look this evening, Spells & Charms weaves some magic with their {S&C} Melyna Dress V2 gift :) Yes it's another halter style, LOL, and no that was not my intent but goodness, I do enjoy them! The sweetheart neckline gives this one a retro vibe, and the short hem with wedge cutout on the front brings the modern twist. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD that offers 6 colors of the fun bubbly pattern seen above. I love that the HUD is a cauldron, keeping that brand theme going nicely :) 

The week is off to a confusing start here as I'm trying to make plans for my outings this week, and the weather seems to want to interfere with some winter storms whose trajectory has changed often since announced. Mother Nature is still in a bad mood I guess, and I am definitely longing for spring. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still in the MIIX

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got more treats from the MIIX Event, as there were several more group gifts that I was eager to share. This and the previous post combined still aren't all of the available gifts of course, but I'm sure you can get an idea and decide if you would enjoy visiting this wonderful event. Their monthly rounds are open until the 20th of each month, so we do have some time to join their Hype Events group and claim those gifts while we check out some exclusive sales offers.

My first look of the evening is the charming ::by Evie:: GABI Overall FATPACK GIFT. What could be better for summer than a short sleeveless romper? While that is a rhetorical question, I'd say the truthful answer is the fact that this one is free, and can be your choice of several colors :) There is a HUD with 17 lovely hues as a matter of fact, and the outfit is provided in sizing for eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The seams give me a feeling of denim, but with all the colors it can be anything you prefer if that isn't your favorite material.

Sorry I'm not home right now, I'm walking into spiderwebs...the HORL - Spider Swimsuit gift definitely had me singing to myself so I'm sharing the look and the earworm :) Our swimsuit is black with white cobwebs on it as well as the 8 legged critter who crafted them, and the straps are golden chains to match the fun belt that is built in. It fits Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. As you can see from the rear view, this is designed to be cheeky!

Next we see the Ariana Dress - MIIX Event Gift from May24. This playful jacket dress has cutouts on each side of the waist, with slender strands holding things in place, really accentuating our curves. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 18 main colors and 4 metals for the buttons down the front. 

We have more sex appeal headed our way with the = Kinky Pinky = Leigh Romper (fatpack) gift. It has a shiny texture of either satin or latex, in 6 terrific colors via HUD. All the colors will have the same pretty black lace trim, and I must say I love how it frames the deep plunging neckline :) The romper is provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies.

My final look of the evening is a two-for-one gift, the {S&C} Lois Dress (B&G) from Spells & Charms. The brown and green dresses are packaged separately, each in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The green one's box is actually labeled lingerie rather than dress, and when you notice the sheer lace and the open sides, it's easy to imagine why :) I don't go many places in SL where this would be acceptable for daily wear (my SL is boring to most, lol) so the lingerie designation suits my mind just fine. Green is one of Xan's favorite colors too, so another reason to chill at home while enjoying this generous treat.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was chaotic as they tend to be lately, especially with therapy sessions on Sundays. We went for a ride and got to the highway when my brain tried to short-circuit, and the panic was not letting me remember how to help my body calm itself. It took some guidance (that's why the therapist gets paid the big bucks) and reminders of what to do, but I survived it obviously because I am here blogging :) That one specific highway stretch gets me every time, much to my frustration, but in a few days I'll be done weaning off one medication and starting another the next day so maybe it will be more helpful. Then I can practice and get more used to the idea that I was not unsafe and nothing bad happened. What else...my parents came over to drop something off and pick something up, and two of the 3 baby groundhogs out back decided to come out so they could see them :) Little cuties, I enjoy spotting them out there so much. Every year we have a litter (?) born under the shed, where one of them at least 20 years ago built a huge den and tunnel system that new generations have been enjoying ever since. Some years it is only 2 or 3 babies, others it has been up to 8 which was startling and possibly 2 mamas living together down there. I have no idea where they live when they grow up, or how they decide which pregnant female gets to take over the den each year, but it is interesting to see. I hope you all had a nice weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

How Bazaar

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have more delightful group gifts from the EBP Black Friday Bazaar 6 event, where the Evil Bunny Hunts group tag "I'm Evil!" will let you claim dozens of free treats while you do some holiday shopping. The group is free to join, and it's a great way to stay informed of all the events and hunts that the organizers hold each year. I am a longtime fan and really appreciate their hard work, which helps us all save money at the events and find low priced hunt prizes at wonderful stores. As for my title, I know that quirky 90s song was called How Bizarre, not Bazaar, but well...wordplay... :) I can't resist it!

My first look is the lovely Indigenous - Dressy Top gift. This blousy tube top comes in Khara, Kupra, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu mesh body sizes. It also includes a 6 texture HUD, so we can choose from several color schemes of gradients and beautiful sparkles. 

In my next look I'm wearing two very different group gifts that have one obvious thing in common besides being found at the Bazaar...they both look terrific with the blue Delizio jeans I wore in my first photo :) On the left is the {Belissima} Laninha Top 1 gift, a playful animal print tube top in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. The hoodie on the right comes from nope., formerly ZFG, called sass- problem. It says "Not my problem" on the front, which I think we can all identify with at times, and I really like the stitched appearance of the sleeves too. We receive Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu mesh body sizing of this fun cropped sweatshirt. 

Designs by Danielle is offering the charming DbD Houndstooth Skirt and Sweater as a group gift for this event, and despite the name implying separate pieces it is actually one easy to wear piece :) There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies provided. The black trim looks great against both the houndstooth pattern and the solid pale top, don't you think?

Two gifts combined very nicely here for an edgy yet festive look. The dress is our Moon Dress gift from JR Wolf Creations, which fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh bodies. I enjoy all the fun details like keyhole opening, crescent moon embossing, and small ruffles at neckline and hem. The strapless style helps me show off the other gift, which is the [Witchery] XmaS Chest Tattoo. There are two opacity versions included, each as BOM layers, so it can be worn with most mesh bodies along with classic avatars. 

My final look of the evening is the stunning - Kinky Pinky - Cowaii Dress, which has a clever name that's a mashup of cow and kawaii :) The dress comes in sizing for Erika, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with a 6 color HUD to choose your favorite cow print hue. The straps are a beautiful aspect, holding the top and crisscrossing the partly open sides and back. I was also drawn to the high hip slits on both sides, showing extra glimpses of skin.

**Quick Mesh Body Note: I just saw on social media that the Maitreya Lara X has been released, so if you have the Maitreya Lara body (5.3 was the current version) you can click the redeliver button on the body's HUD and receive both Lara and Lara X. This is exciting news, and I'm eager to play with them when I login in a while!!!!

It was a frustrating day here, so I'll move on to say that I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, with many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Synergy Halloween Sales

 Hiya everyone! Tonight you won't believe it but I found out about another event with group gifts aplenty, so I visited immediately to share as quickly as possible. It is the Halloween Sales 2023 event from Synergy, and they're open until the 2nd of November (opened a week ago, I didn't find out until today) so we do have a few days left to stop by and do some shopping. The Synergy Shoppers group is free to join, and with the tag active you can click the carved pumpkins at each display that are tied with a black ribbon and bow to claim your free gifts. I apologize for the short notice, something I try not to do but sometimes as a holiday draws closer the smaller timeframe events crop up and I don't want to ignore them either in case your personal outfit is waiting there for you.

My first look is the playful Raven Sky Witch by COVETED! gift. Its dress fits Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and the matching witch hat is unrigged so we can adjust it if needed. Both have a terrific pattern of ravens or crows flying against a cloudy background with forks of lightning. I guess they could be tree branches instead, but I thought clouds - storms - lightning ;) The dress is so sexy with bared sides and a daring slit on the left side.

Another flirty frock you can claim as a free gift here is this lovely :: C.K Patty Alicinha Gift :: . The slender shoulder straps weave their way down to the back to lace up a very bare opening, cut low enough to flash a little bit of bum cleavage. There are sizes for Alice, Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with a 10 texture HUD so we can change things up at will. While the textures contain orange and/or shades of grey, that doesn't mean they are specific to Halloween and I don't feel they are limited to it at all :)

- Kinky Pinky - is offering their stunning Rosita Dress (fatpack) as a generous gift for all Synergy group members who visit their display. It has a high waist accentuated by a black belt, and the top portion changes color by clicking your choice of 6 buttons on the included HUD. There is a cross on the back similar to the belt that also contrasts the bodice colors beautifully, and the black scalloped lace on the hem is another terrific detail. We receive Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing.

*wolf whistle* This hot little number is our Pumpkin Mood Bodysuit & Bolero gift from zOOm. The skimpy bodysuit and fun bolero with ruffly sleeves each fit Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu mesh bodies. The front says "Current Mood" above and below a jack o'lantern, which made me smile, and the dramatic cut that shows off pretty much our entire booty will make whoever you show this off to smile too ;)

For my final look of the evening, I slipped into the [UNC] Patty Outfit - Halloween treat from Uncontrollably. The teeny tube top and flared miniskirt are each provided in fitmesh standard sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. There's also a HUD for the top with 6 text choices - Hocus Pocus (left above), Bad Witch, Boo! (right), Spooky, Little Witch, or Trick or Treat. The spiderwebs on the skirt have a seasonal flavor too, but I am not the type to watch the clock and decide that as soon as midnight rolls around and the day ends, that a holiday must too :) I'll tend to wear themed fashions for a few days to a week after if my mood dictates, and would never judge anyone else for going even longer. Heck, wear Christmas sweaters in May, I won't bat an eye!

It was a decent weekend here, and I'm still watching randomly recorded Halloween type movies but I stick to the kids' movies to avoid gore or really disturbing stuff. That means I'm watching things like Casper, Ghostbusters, Hocus Pocus, and Lemony Snicket among others :) I get to have the holiday experience without the anxiety or nightmares, and if I recorded enough I can keep it going into November a bit. I hope you're all having a delightful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MIIX Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several fantastic gifts and an exclusive offer from the MIIX Event, whose current round is celebrating their anniversary so you know what that means :) Join their free Hype Event group and you will be able to claim all the goodies from the various colored giftbags at most of the displays around the event space. There are some terrific designers taking part, with fashions and accessories for men and women, plus some home decor so you can liven up your living space too. I also noticed several Evo X makeup gifts, so if your mesh head is compatible you could really score some hot looks.

My first look of the night is the {S&C} Kiki Dress (fat pack hud) gift from Spells & Charms To Go. This eye-catching strapless mini dress fits Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP mesh bodies, and includes a 6 color HUD to change the look as you wish. The top is silver on most but gold to go with the texture with golden circles, which remind me of vinyl records because I'm old vintage ;) They also made me think of cymbals, so either way I'm thinking musical. The laced top accentuates the bust, very flattering look overall. 

Next we take a look at the lovely - Kinky Pinky - Millie Love Dress (fatpack) gift. It is a playful cross between a bodysuit and mini dress, with sweet heart shaped cutout in front and a halter neckline that leads to a mostly exposed back. The panties are built in which is probably what made me think 'bodysuit' too. We receive Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP mesh body sizes, as well as a 3 color HUD with the two shown and a bold dark blue option. All have a black side for perfect contrast, and more hearts scrawled on the texture for added romance.

This charming duo of shirts is the ::BQ::Ally Top:: Miix Event GIFT in the gift bag at BlondeQueen's display. The black/white pied de poule and red/black pied de poule (I believe that pattern name is French for houndstooth) versions are each provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The combo of formal pattern with playful low cut sides (side boob) makes for a fun spring or summer outfit when paired with the bottoms of your choice. I went with the blue pair of the Delizio jeans fatpack that appear here fairly often and are free on the marketplace.

Those jeans also came in handy when I visited The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. at the event, so I could wear them with the adorable SWEET BUNNY Tee gift :) The design on the front makes it suitable for Easter this weekend, or really any time of year if you are a fan of bunnies like I am. This one has delicate lashes and a heart shaped nose, with glittery stars and the words "sweet bunny" in text beneath her. There are standard mesh sizes provided as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions.

My final look of the evening is the MIIX Event exclusive offer from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co., their ADIOS AMIGOS Tees. For just $150L we receive those same sizes I mentioned on the previous image, with a HUD that offers 3 different versions to change the color and design on the front of our shirt. The two seen here say "Adios Amigos" and "Start the day with good ideas", which I try to do :) The third not shown is a charcoal backdrop with "Dear naps I'm sorry I hated you as a kid" on different colored blocks. I am a huge fan of naps now for sure, so it made me chuckle in appreciation and I will be wearing that one very soon. The holiday weekend is bound to require a snooze or two! Now I usually wear these tees with BOM jeans, but they are just short enough that you can pair them with lots of types of mesh jeans, pants, or skirts very easily too. 

I am having some allergy issues and doing way too much sneezing, not to mention that my eyes feel like they have sand in them. Isn't pollen season fun? The weather is much warmer though and it finally feels like spring, so I am ready to enjoy some time outdoors without being bundled up like the South Park kids. I have more gifts from the MIIX Event to share tomorrow, and I've been looking into a few other things for the rest of the week's posts. Good stuff :) I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still Down the Rabbit Hole

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more group gifts from Down The Rabbit Hole to share, all of which are free with your free Evil Bunny Hunts group tag. Just about every display at this wonderful event has a gift bag with a framed photo of the gift inside, so just wear your "I'm Evil" tag and give each one a click :) The wonderland themed event is open until the 19th, so there is just over a week remaining to enjoy your visit. You will find discounts, exclusives, and some familiar faces to go with possibly new-to-you designers who might catch your eye.

My first look comes from the Indigenous display, and is called Tied Top. The gorgeous blue and gold floral patterned tank top is cinched in the front with long dangling ties, and is provided in sizes for Erika, eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 

Another terrific gift is the BQ::Spades & Hearts Top::Pink & Blue pair from BLONDEQUEEN. Both colors fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I really like the cropped halter style, and the way they both subtly reference the theme without being too obvious. In this photo and the prior one, I am wearing the Delizio white jeans from their marketplace freebie fatpack. There are several colors in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega, all very handy and that is why I rely on them so often here on my blog.

Next I slipped into something sexy, the - Kinky Pinky - Bertha Dress (brown) gift. It includes sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, with crossed halter top and bared belly above a formfitting mini skirt. The embroidered design is so lovely!

Emerald Couture is offering their EC Rhonda Romper Slate Blue Knit as their event group gift, and it is both playful and alluring. The gift is provided in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. The top is an open weave of knit so it is slightly see-through, something to be aware of if you want to wear it somewhere not adult rated. I am certainly a fan of the beautiful color, too!

My final look this evening is our gift from Allure Couture, which is named Becki Bikini & Sarong Pink. It consists of the bikini top, bikini bottom, and sarong each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes, with strappy sandals designed to fit Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. The bikini bottom is a thong style in the back, and I really like the way the top's straps wrap around the midriff. We can wear the sarong when we first arrive at a beach or pool, then slip out of it to make a splash into the water or to snooze in the sunshine.

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

Candyland is Dandy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more terrific treats from the Candyland 4 event to show you. There are group gifts for the free Evil Bunny Hunt group at every display, and lots of exclusive offers that are priced to be affordable. I have always enjoyed the Evil Bunny Productions events and hunts, so I am pleased to share the gifts and bargains I find there :) We have until the 22nd to stop by and do our shopping (and gift claiming) so be sure to pick up those demos and have fun with the sweet theme.

For my first look tonight, I am sporting the EC Allie Outfit Green Plaid gift from Emerald Couture. The top and skirt are both provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, while the adorable shoes fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High feet. The ruffles on the sleeves and skirt hem are a great match to the bow and the shoes. Speaking of which, the high heels have socks built in with buttons and a collar so they look like a dress shirt, so fun!

Next we see the flirty -Kinky Pinky- Heart Outfit, a gift whose top and panties each come in Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. They are both decorated with red hearts and trim, and the ones on the ruffled top remind me of those cinnamon hearts candies which would of course harken back to our theme ♥. 

Our group gift from BlondeQueen is their lovely BQ::Cookie Dress::, a sleeveless mini with full skirt covered with decorated cupcakes sporting a candle on each one. There are sizes provided for Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. That soft minty color is a nice choice for spring, isn't it?

Another display you simply must visit is [Ari-Pari], where you can claim this charming Aviva Ruffle Dress as their free group gift. This body-hugging mini dress comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, with a 15 color HUD so you have lots of choices. The neckline and hem are trimmed with a dainty frill, and the delicate spaghetti straps are a feminine touch. 

For my final look of the evening, stay right there at the [Ari-Pari] setup and you will see their exclusive offer called Sugar Fix Outfit. It pairs a tank top and flirty shorts which each fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. There is also a HUD included, with 7 candy-coated textures for each piece and 4 colors for the trim on each, so you can do a lot of mixing and matching if you wish. The solid colors for the trim are each found as a candy color in the print, so you will be very nicely coordinated no matter what combination you select. Would you believe this versatile set is just $175L? If I had to choose two words to describe it, I would go with sweet and sporty, not the most common combo so I am digging the duet :)

Since my cough is still annoying, I got my chest x-ray a week earlier than the appointment I'd scheduled. I don't expect it to be anything other than acid reflux, and will probably need an upper GI eventually, because who doesn't love drinking barium? They asked a lot of questions, probably trying to make sure it wasn't the plague, and I had to tell two different people that I didn't have a fever which seems odd when everywhere else I go just takes your temperature instead of asking. The clinic where I went is in a mall, which is barely clinging to life...I went through the food court and there were only 2 stores left out of the 20 or so that used to be there, and only saw a handful of non-food shops that were active. I remember going to this mall as a kid when I didn't even live in the immediate area, so it is strange to see it in this condition. Hallmark was one of the few survivors, and some robotics people had at least 2 stores open. Oh well, not a bad day overall :) I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Kinky Pinky at The Free Dove

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring another mini hunt at The Free Dove, the treats courtesy of Kinky Pinky. There are 5 heart shaped gift boxes (red with white bow/ribbon) at The Free Dove and 5 at their mainstore, and in both places I will remind you to check up and down, high and low, inside and out :) At the Free Dove you will also want to explore their Plaza since prizes sometimes find their way out there as well. These all need the "Blessed by a Dove" group tag from The Free Dove, free to join, to click and claim each one for no cost whatsoever to you. How generous of the designers and The Free Dove! I look forward to these hunts each month, as you probably know if you've read here before, and I am pleased to mention that this month the hunts last until March 2nd so a couple of extra days to make up for the short month. 

My first look this evening has two prizes, both found at The Free Dove. The dress is the - Kinky Pinky - Dreams Body (pink), a sheer shiny bodysuit with flirty skirt and halter neckline in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP bodies. It is dotted with pretty pink hearts, which are a fun match to the prize in my right hand :) That is the - Kinky Pinky - My Heart in Your Hand (blue), a rotating heart that says "Love" on one side. It is a lovely shade of blue, and the hold pose is very well done. 

Another fun prize you can find at The Free Dove is this - Kinky Pinky - Love Coffee (01) cup of foamy cappuccino. It has the word LOVE in red on the front, and the purple mug is making the pink hearts on my outfit look a little more purplish which is intriguing. It has a great hold pose built in, so you can carry this tasty hot beverage with you wherever you go.

Next I switched to the - Kinky Pinky - Dreams Body (red) which is another prize found at The Free Dove, with a classic color for those charming hearts. It comes in the same sizes as the pink version. Prize #5 has the same contents as #3, which is why you are seeing the adorable - Kinky Pinky - My Heart in Your Hand (blue) again ;)

Over at the Kinky Pinky mainstore, we can find such treats as the - Kinky Pinky - Dreams Body (green). It is provided in the same sizes as the others (Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, TMP) and has that same latex-like sheen. The - Kinky Pinky - My Heart in Your Hand (red) is also hiding in one of these giftboxes, ready to spin gently while hovering above your palm. 

My final look this evening is the - Kinky Pinky - Millie Love Dress which is one of two prizes labeled #10 :) The style is the same as the others this evening but with solid fabric in a two-tone design with heart sketches. It includes a HUD with 3 color choices, all of which are contrasted beautifully by the black side. It comes in Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP sizes as well. The - Kinky Pinky - Love Coffee (02) is also one of the mainstore prizes, with terrific Bento hold to make sure we get our beloved caffeine in style.

It was a fairly quiet weekend here other than the farmers market trip, where I saw an adorable beagle in a snuggly jacket to fight the chilly weather. Got lots of tasty food as usual, and chatted with lots of wonderful people who always brighten my Saturdays. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Kinky Pinky at The Free Dove

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was in the mood to visit The Free Dove, and stumbled across a new-to-me designer called Kinky Pinky. They have a display with 4 wonderful dresses that you can claim for free with your "Blessed by a Dove" group tag from the Free Dove group. It is free to join that group, and that tag enables you to claim all the gifts in the entire building. That is quite an impressive amount, and the variety means you can find all sorts of treats for men and women such as clothing, accessories, shapes, hair, and much more. This is the first landmark I share with new residents who are looking to build their wardrobe without spending a ton of lindens all at once, which would be overwhelming on any budget. We can thank Dove (Palomma Casanova) by making a donation, and thank the designers by visiting their mainstores and doing some shopping. You can find the landmark for Kinky Pinky by clicking the sign on their display, so go stop by and tell them a Free Dove sent you :)

First we have the - Kinky Pinky - Millie Love Dress gift, living up to the name with a heart cutout in the front and sketched hearts decorating the fabric. It comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP mesh bodies, with a 3 color HUD so you can change the accent coloring. From behind it resembles a bodysuit with frilled skirt since it is fairly short and the built in panties are visible, but that does provide a touch of modesty. 

This charming look is the - Kinky Pinky - Africa Dress, probably named for the zebra print borrowed from one of that continent's majestic creatures. The neckline is decorated with floral embroidery to match the trim at the hemline, and the HUD lets us select from 4 shades that tint the embroidered parts and some sections of animal print, for a subtle and beautiful look. Our gift includes Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh body sizes.

- Kinky Pinky - Daisy Dress has a solid satin center panel both front and back, surrounded by sheer material in bloom with its namesake flowers. I noticed somewhat belatedly (like right now!) that my nipples are indeed peeking through, LOL, but it is not terribly obvious so just something to bear in mind when you wear this beauty. It comes in Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP sizes, with a 6 color HUD for the satin panels. The zipper down the back is a fun detail, since some of these fashions I do wonder how one would get in and out of them in RL.

My final look this evening is the - Kinky Pinky - Angela Dress, a shiny strapless treat in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP mesh bodies. The seams really accentuate every curve, and the 3 colors via HUD are all showstoppers. Sometimes I want dark and mysterious, other times these bright cheery colors are the way to go, just depends on mood and personal tastes. 

I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
