Gifts for MGSN Group

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some fantastic gifts to share for the MGSN group, which stands for Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News. That doesn't mean that the gifts will only fit the Maitreya body; as a matter of fact I am wearing Legacy tonight :) The designers do usually offer multiple sizes in the gifts, so it is always worth checking. The MGSN group is currently free to join, so that group tag is all you need to claim these wonderful treats (with the exception of one linden $ for one gift) for a chic start to your weekend.

My first look appears to be several pieces, but it's actually all combined into one easy to wear outfit :) The ELITE - FERNANDA - GIFT is just $1L and one mesh piece, in standard mesh sizes as well as Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Slink mesh body versions. The soft shades of blue are so peaceful, from the plaid button-down to the solid tank, right on down to the faded denim shorts. I think sandals or sneakers would look particularly nice with it, don't you?

Something about the Yalin Fashion ASHA gift just screams weekend to me! Perhaps it's the sexy lace side panels, which are sheer enough that without pasties or nipple covers (which I am wearing) I believe there would be some peekaboo action happening ;) The zipper in the back is such a fun detail too, showing just how to get in and out of this strapless beauty. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies to fit lots of the popular brands. 

I also visited Delicatt Couture, where I found the flirtatious Csilla BodySuit as our MGSN group gift. It has a sheer lace top (remember I'm wearing nipple covers, yours will show through if you aren't!) and solid lower half with softly ruffled edges which I think we used to call lettuce leaf edging :) We receive Altamura, Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Slink Hourglass sizes, along with a HUD that offers 12 lovely colors. I usually say that bodysuits in SL can double as swimsuits, but this one is giving more of a lingerie-only feeling to me. You can certainly wear it whenever and wherever you wish if you feel differently, as long as the rules of your destination agree that is :)

Next we continue with lace, thanks to the gorgeous InViDiA_LiNe Gift. The dress and bolero are separates, each in sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The included HUD has 3 colors each (red, black, white) for the sleeves, lace, and main dress, so we get to do some mixing and matching which is always exciting :) The bolero is optional because it's a separate piece, so just let your mood and personal style help you decide which way to wear it each time.

My final look of the night is our .:KF:. GILDA GIFT from KyaraFashion. This beautiful floral skirt set has a built in belt atop the high waisted skirt, and a low cut tank top with similar heart shaped adornments. They each come in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu body sizes. There is a fun little secret too - an "undress me" script is built in so we can let others strip our outfit off if we wish. I suggest checking the settings before heading out in public to ensure that permission is only granted to those you choose :) Any time I'd accidentally stripped in public (always a crowded store too, LOL) it was because I somehow mistakenly replaced my outfit with a random box from my inventory, and it's been over a decade so now I'm afraid I might be overdue...karma, you didn't hear this!

My day was pretty good overall, especially dinner with my parents (frittata, ham, veggies, rice) when we also took the opportunity to celebrate my dad's birthday. My housemate threw a curveball at me, his friend with whom I have an unpleasant relationship with is coming tomorrow and Sunday to watch sports together. I strongly dislike having him around with all the asthma-inducing cat dander he brings (and noise, and drunken antics) but he isn't actually sleeping here so it will just be evening disruptions. Work trip, they paid for his hotel, can't blame him since all that's available here is a sofa. We're still going to the farmers market in the morning, and I'll be getting tasty food there for my weekend :) I hope you've all got a nice weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MGSN Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is filled with goodies for the MGSN group, which stands for Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News. That doesn't mean that all of the gifts are only for the Maitreya body, but they should all offer that size at a minimum :) I usually just explore the stores who've sent group notices recently, but I also still had a copy of the notecard from their Xmas gift train and used that to help me find some treats for us. At least we know those brands are part of the group, so it was worth a try :) The group is currently free to join, so this post should be very easy on your wallet and your eyes.

Our first gift of the evening is the {Poeme} Wintry Florals Sweater Dress, which is labeled for winter/spring 2026 and I agree with both seasons. Florals always make me smile, and many associate them specifically with spring. The colors lean winter I think, but the bare arms say spring unless we layer a fun bolero over it. This lovely tube dress comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. While you're here, please click that midnight mania board if it needs some more tickling ;)

Anyone else get 70s vibes from our Salesita's Creations gift 5 Dress Elena treat? Maybe it's the fringe, or the rich embossed fabric with large flowers, but for me this feels like a modern take on retro fashion :) We receive Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh body sizes. To find this beauty, please head upstairs and go over to the group gifts wall, where you will need to camera over to the MGSN sign. 

Okay, so I just realized I've accidentally got a floral theme going here...it really was unintentional, yet I am rather happy about it :) The Graffitiwear Sash Dress should bring some joy to you too, as it is so very flirty and feminine. There are sizes for eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies included, as well as a HUD with 3 flowery textures. The way the front is draped and crossed upwards to meet at the neck in a halter style is simply gorgeous, and all essentials will be covered if you add your favorite panties beneath. I also think it'll show off a back tattoo perfectly!

Moving on from the floral portion of the evening, LOL, we take a gander at our [ZEX] Dakota sexy dress * Pink group gift. Pink is one of those colors that can really range from sweetly innocent to hot and spicy, and I think the name of this dress is an accurate assessment :) Our slightly sheer dress and matching thong panties are each provided in Erika, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizing. Spaghetti straps are so flattering, and the ruffled hem lifts up in the rear to show a flash of bum in such a cheeky way.

My final look of the night is our generous gift from Enigma Apparel called [EN] Ully Set. The versatile dress and heels each fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 15 colors each for dress and trim, plus 2 metals and 2 colors for the heels. I had entirely too much fun playing with the HUD and trying out various color combos, which is not a bad thing by any means :) 

Quick hair note of the night: this weekend's new release at Truth Hair was his delightful collab with his RL daughter, called Daydream. Such a playful twisted updo with a scrunchie woven in there, and there are loose ends to add an extra casual touch that made it a "shut up and take my lindens" situation for me ;) Of course I spent extra time tonight changing the scrunchie color (via HUD) but in the future I might just choose one neutral color and stick with it. I'm not sure how long the Saturday Sale pricing lasts, so hurry over if you haven't been there yet!

The support group meeting this evening was productive, but it ran a little late so I feel slow now. The best part was someone's new kitten who decided to hang out on their laptop, so in front of the camera, causing all of us to be like "oooo kitty ♥" randomly. When asked about goals for the upcoming 2 weeks between sessions, someone else joked they would be getting a cat now. If not for the severity of my allergies, it would be very tempting :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MGSN Gift Train

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a train ride, the MGSN Christmas Train :) That is the Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News group, which is currently free to join, and the train is a listing of stores who are offering special gifts this season. Some of them have other MGSN group gifts too, and I've enjoyed this event for the past few years so I was very happy to see it again for 2025. Please check the group notices for a notecard with the gifts list, as it has the landmarks and photos. When you arrive at each stop, you can look for the train's sign to see where your new treat is :) I've been slower than molasses this year with all the December events and hunts, lol, so it's bothering me that it took me this long to get a chance to share our wonderful train gifts but I do hope you have time to claim and enjoy. All aboard!

My first stop was KyaraFashion for their playful .:KF:.Turmalina Outfit. It consists of the top and jacket (one piece), skirt, chain, socks, and boots, all in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Extra fun bonus - there are undress scripts in every piece! You or someone of your choice can click the pieces for a menu to strip them off, for a little roleplay or romance. 

Our *.:Dark Cat:.*CO-DORINA XMAS OUTFIT is a very thoughtful gift with loads of features. Its dress in versions with and without fur trim, heels, coverups (pasties), and thong will all fit Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also get some lovely accessories - bags for left and right hands, earrings, rose for the hair, and hat that we can click to choose from 3 colors. There are several HUDs included too, with 40 colors each for the bag, belt, dress, ribbon, fur, lace, pompom, shoes, and sole, then 15 colors each for coverups and thong. Basically if you see it here, there's probably a way to adjust its color :) 

This charming full length gown is our Belle Epoque - Denise - Xmas gift. Isn't it stunning? The red top is seamed like a corset, and the skirt flows out with a fun pattern of festive artwork. There are sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. 

Since life isn't all ballrooms and parties, even in SL, I really do appreciate the casual side of fashion too :) A fantastic example would be our [COSMOS] Meika Vest, Top, & Pants Outfit gift, which I claimed by paying $1L and was automatically refunded as the gift was delivered to me. The top, vest, pants, and belt are all designed for Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Petite X mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 5 colors each for top, vest, pants, and 3 for the belt, but the HUD did not work for me even though I tried removing and reattaching all clothing and the HUD a few times. I did have some unusual glitches and lag earlier so I will try again very soon :) 

My final look of the night is the cutest one in my humble opinion, the !PCP :: Holly Sweater [Reindear] gift from Pink Cream Pie. I couldn't help but laugh when I realized our new reindeer friend is wearing a sweater with a self portrait on it, or at least a dear (pun intended) friend? The pattern surrounding them is sweet too, presents and candy canes with hearts and stockings galore. This gift includes Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizing, along with a HUD for the built in panties which can be your choice of 24 colors. We can also toggle the dress (skirt portion) and the panties on or off with this handy HUD.

Time is flying tonight faster than Santa's reindeer, but it was a good evening getting to chat with a friend while playing Hello Kitty :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts For MGSN

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're exploring some designers who are part of the MGSN Group, short for Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News. It is currently free to join, so the gifts you're about to see will not cost anything but a group slot :) Just look for the group's sign or logo in each store, and you will find plenty of generous treats waiting. Often these stores are part of several multi-designer groups, so be on the lookout for other familiar logos too.

Our first stop is KyaraFashion, where I happily claimed their .:KF:. GIFT MGSN Dress Ariel. This stunning strapless mini comes with or without built in panties, each in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu. We also receive a matching fur stole in a single mesh size that I would say fits most bodies, certainly worth trying it on :) I just burst out laughing at my own train of thought here...we used to call those boas, and OMG those are because of boa constrictors, aren't they? There is a snakelike quality about how it's wound around the arms. Did I just catch up with the rest of the world on that one? LOL!

This sexy goodie is our AJ_outfit ELYSHA gift from ANGEL"s JEWELRY. I didn't realize from the picture on the wall just how sheer our top is, so I might be adding some pasties to wear out and about :) The top, arms, panty, and skirt are all designed for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, so there are various ways to wear this by leaving off the sleeves or even the panties if you are feeling particularly racy. 

Next we have the lovely [COSMOS] Bahiah Top & Skirt Set gift, which was one of the first things I spotted when I landed and was so excited to see that it's a gift! We do have to right click and pay $1L but that will be automatically refunded while the gift is delivered. There are Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Petite X sizes each of the top and skirt, as well as a HUD that offers 20 colors each for the top, skirt, and belt. There are also opacity % buttons that I had a hard time with, because the writing is too small for my ancient eyes so I wasn't certain how to work them. It is just me, or does the outfit look mint chocolate flavored on the right?

Another gift I picked up on my travels is the ::T.B.O.M::Lorella Sporty Outfit from The Best Of Me. Our partly fishnet top and miniskirt each have white racing stripes, regardless of which colors you pick from the enclosed HUD - 8 for each piece. Both the top and skirt are designed for the Maitreya mesh body. 

The [If design] Love you gift is my final look this evening, and I'm certainly loving it :) We receive sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, as well as a HUD with 12 colors. The sections mentioned on the HUD are Love you, border, and dress, and the picture shows the words "Love you" on the back above the dress to the right of our spine; as you can see it did not show up for me though. SL is not always kind to me lately, so hopefully you'll be able to get it to appear for you :) Even without, it's still a wonderful gift and I really appreciate the fun texturing and the ability to change the edges to contrast the main dress.

It was one of those days with plans changing at the last minute, but things worked out as well as they can with a sick housemate. I've got a sore throat that could be allergy related, and the housemate's issues seem to be in the sinus region only, so they are not to blame (probably). I am so eager for the new month to start in SL, so we can enjoy some spooky event gifts and hunt prizes together :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MGSN Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting several wonderful stores to pick up their generous gifts for the MGSN group. That stands for Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News, so all of the gifts should fit that body; some are compatible with other brands too, coming in various sizes or sometimes BOM which works for most bodies. I did switch from my Lara X body to my 5.3, since some of these gifts I found are a bit older and do not have a size for the Lara X. It's really easy to switch though, and I do recommend having an outfit folder for each body so you can add/remove your bodies, HUDs, and if you choose to use a different shape for each, you can swap them out quickly. It's also worth mentioning that the MGSN group is currently free to join, so this is a very budget-friendly post :)

My first look comes from smesh, and is their lovely Gift Dress To MGSN Group. The mini dress has a high neckline to counterbalance that short, short hem, and it comes in Maitreya and Petite sizing. There is also a transparency HUD included, with + and - buttons as well as an Off button to return to full opacity. On the right above I clicked the + button a few times to make the fabric somewhat sheer, which gives the bold pink color a softer salmon tone. 

This gorgeous pairing is our Delicatt Couture - Hellen Outfit gift. The shirt fits Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, while the skirt comes in a standard fitted size along with Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. I'm sure it won't surprise you to see that we also receive a HUD with it, with 14 choices each for the top and skirt. Most of the top's textures are patterns, with a couple solids mixed in for good measure, and the skirt can match any of the patterns with a solid color. One detail I can't help but admire is the daisy-shaped lace on the neckline and the skirt's hem, really pulling the look together :)

Next I visited the incredibly generous Hilly Haalan store, teleported to the gifts building (TP pad where you land) and walked to the back left corner where I spied an MGSN group sign. There are a few great gifts here for this group, so I'm sharing two of them in the same look above :) The [hh] Gift Aileen Dress is the beauty on the left, and the equally striking [hh] GIFT FOR MGSN Divya Dress is the wrap dress I'm wearing on the right. Each of these are provided in a size to fit the Maitreya mesh body, and I really appreciate both their similarities and their differences. Aileen has a flirty slit on the right thigh, while Divya's wrapped front gives a tulip type opening in the front to show off a little leg too :) I also got a kick out of the contrast of the pale pink Aileen to the deep burgundy that Divya is sporting.

I need casual athleisurewear type outfits in SL too of course, so .: AlmaMiranda :. MGSN Animal Print Track Suit fits that bill in style :) We receive the tank top and pants each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The pants have a black stripe down each leg, matching the waistband, leg cuffs, and the edging on the tank top. As I mentioned yesterday too, I really enjoy animal prints for playful moods.

My final look this evening is a terrific gift from a store who is a go-to for me when it comes to these multi-designer group gifts :) The MONOMANIA - Dynamics outfit has a sporty lifted tank top and fun pants with racing stripes, which each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The coordinated sneakers are designed for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet, so they work with the same sizes/bodies as our clothing. So where is the best park nearby with a walking or jogging path? :)

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

Composer Girls Fashion

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features gifts for a few different groups, but all at Composer Girls Fashion so just one stop :) The groups are all currently free to join too, making this a fantastic way to pick up several of their amazing outfits for no cost whatsoever. I'm a longtime fan, actually this is one of my favorite places to shop for full outfits that usually include footwear and jewelry. The gifts are all near the front of the store, and I'm wearing Maitreya Lara for most of these photos tonight with one exception for a newer look that contains Lara X instead of 5.3. I didn't mind the quick swap, but it is worth mentioning in case you prefer one or the other.

My first look is the incredibly cute !CGF-*Willa* Jeans Outfit, one of two gifts for the Composer Girls Fashion group. The color splash sweater, belted cuffed jeans, and platform heels are each provided in Legacy/Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes, as well as the gold earrings and necklace you see here. The necklace has a resize script built in, so you can click it and adjust if needed. Fun fact, the same jewelry in silver is included in the next gift I'm sharing :) I also wanted to note how much I appreciate the way the belt and shoes are the same rosy hue, bringing out one of the colors in the sweater too.

The other gift for the store's group that I am delighted to show you is called !CGF-*Kassiani* Jeans Outfit. This is where I temporarily flipped to Lara X, as the sizes of our sweater and jeans are Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The heels are designed for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn feet to align with the clothing sizes. As I alluded to when describing the first photo, this treat also includes the earrings and necklace you see in shiny silver. We've got a resizer script in this necklace too, so go ahead and make sure it fits the way you like :)

If you are a member of the Avangardista group (or are willing to join for free) you can claim this playful !CGF-*Sierra* Complete Skirt Outfit. The cashmere crop sweater and lace up skirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing, as are the beige/black/gray flat boots. They have a great suede texture, so we are in cozy fabrics from neck to toe ;) Did you notice the notch in the back of the boots behind the knee, to make it easier to walk and let our knees bend? Clever!

The very similar !CGF-*Sierra* Complete Skirt Outfit Gray is a striking variation on the prior gift, this one being for the Paparazzi group which is also currently free to join. We receive the gray turtleneck, laced skirt, and gray over-the-knee boots all in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The single color in a few shades gives a sleek, elegant appearance that I am very much enjoying.

My final look this evening is our !CGF-*Marisa* Brown Skirt Outfit gift for the MGSN group. The beige leaf crop sweater fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, while the skirt comes in Eve Pulpy, Eve Slim, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing. The tan/gold calf boots are also included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. Our gift also has a necklace inside, which is open in the front and has leaves draped down each side, might be slightly blending in here but it is a wonderful addition :)

Today I went to dinner at my parents' place, who are both back to full health and feeling fine :) We had Thai food from my favorite place to celebrate my birthday, and I am planning on going to the farmers market tomorrow that I've missed for about a year and a half now. I'm genuinely terrified which is frustrating and embarrassing, but I know I'll enjoy myself if I get there and it will be worth the stress. We've also got a houseguest this weekend who will wind up acting as an emotional support human for me, LOL, but really we all deserve people like that :) I am undecided yet if I'll have time to blog on Sunday after all the plans this weekend, so I am leaving it as I'll try but if not I will certainly be back on Monday with more goodies. Meanwhile I hope you all have an amazing weekend, lots of magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

All Aboard MGSN Gift Train

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've had some more fun with the MGSN Christmas Gift Train, which is a generous tradition of the MGSN or Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News group. If you aren't already a member, you can join for free and look for the gift train notecard in the group notices. That card has the landmarks for each participating store, with photos of each, which is very helpful and makes the train ride an easy and fun one :) Some of the gifts are clearly seasonal while others are suitable for any time of year, so it's okay if you already have your wardrobe decided upon for the next few days. You'll still find something to enjoy, and all for free! I'm very grateful to every designer who is thoughtfully offering gifts, whether I have shared them here or not. 

My first look of the evening is the flirty .:KF:. GIFT SALES GIFTS TRAIN 2024 JUMPSUIT from Kyarafashion. There are Maitreya and Lara X sizes included, and they are 'undress me' scripted so you can allow people to click your clothing to remove it. I really like the red satin of the jumpsuit with the white furry trim for Christmas flavor, and the golden belt is certainly a fun touch :)

This adorable skirt set is our :::FurtaCor:::ADRYELLE_XMAS_SET gift. It includes the sweater, sweater + shirt, and skirt, each in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The sweater has a very cute reindeer in a red scarf on the front, and the version with shirt has a green plaid collar layered beneath. Either version looks wonderful with the pleated skirt, decorated with lots of fun holiday images.

Travesty is brightening our holidays with their MGSN Christmas Train Gift 2024 sweater dress. It has a fantastic knit texture, well two of them if you use the enclosed HUD ;) We also receive sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn bodies, so it can be worn on several popular brands of mesh body. This is the type of short dress that I also sometimes wear as a tunic top over a pair of leggings, for times when I visit a particularly chilly region in SL. Lots of holiday spots are covered in snow, so boots are a handy addition too.

My first reaction to the Graffitiwear Christmas Train Gift was to think about how Mrs. Claus was a young and vibrant woman once, so maybe she wore a spicy outfit like this :) Our coat, skirt, and boots are all provided in sizes to fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The coat covers the breasts but reveals some cleavage, while falling almost to the knee so considerably past the miniskirt. I really like the style of the boots, mid height with slender heels and inner zippers.

I'm wrapping up my night with another great gift that is loaded with sex appeal :) The M&M STYLE-LYNN outfit is pretty in pink, with a short romper, cropped top, and thigh high boots that all fit Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The necklace I'm wearing is also included, as is a leather cap not shown here. Both of these have resize scripts to adjust them if necessary, which is always helpful because I usually find that hats need lots of enlarging for me while the necklaces tend to run large already and need some reducing. There is also a box inside the folder with another pair of boots, which I unpacked and found to be a lovely shade of red just right for the holidays. 

Wow, having a midweek holiday coming up is confusing the daylights out of me! I really just thought for a second that it was still the weekend, despite knowing that I went to a podiatrist appointment this afternoon so it had to be a weekday. At least that visit went well, and I am glad to have a day to relax tomorrow. I hope you're having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MGSN Christmas Gift Train

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I get to be a tour guide for the MGSN Christmas Gift Train, which is now an annual tradition of the MGSN or Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News group. It is free to join, and that group tag entitles you to year-round goodies at many participating stores. But as you can see, once a year we get bonus benefits with these amazing limited time offerings :) You'll want to check group notices for a notecard named after the train, and I believe the most recently updated card is from the 17th. This has our landmarks and photos of the prizes, and they are all completely free with that group tag active. I started from the top and chose some random ones, but there are just so many that I'd love to do several more posts of them if I had unlimited time ;) This is always an intense month with an overload of treats to share, as I'm sure you can tell. To help you find the gifts, I recommend looking for a sign with a train on it, which is near most but not all of these goodies in the stores.

My first look of the evening comes from [Aleutia] and is their Sol Romper - Violet gift for us. There are lots of great details, like the fabric has tiny sparkles that are hard to photograph but you can kinda see itty bitty silvery specks? There is a HUD included to turn the sparkles on and off, adjust the transparency with 4 options plus off for solid, and the HUD also offers 36 colors each for the bow and tie. The bow includes the belt, and the tie is the slender strand that loops through the front and is tied in the back above the belt. Our romper is provided in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. 

Next stop, .::BE BOLD::. for their adorable and seasonal Rockabye gift! The top and shorts have a great pattern with deep red trim, and each fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The gift also includes the plush penguin you see here, with a built in hold pose and a cute Santa hat.

It really was a coincidence that I found another purple gift to share, but I'm also not mad at it ;) The !APHORISM! - Lucy Dress - Plum Ltd Ed is a formfitting mini dress with long sleeves and fun cutout to show off cleavage. She is included in sizing for Classic, Classic Dainty, Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD that lets us pick from 12 colors for the trim (sleeves, neck, and hem ruffle) and turn the built in panties on or off. 

Our gift from Belle Epoque is their sweet Kandy - Pride outfit, several layers all linked into one piece for ease of wear. There are Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes provided. The boldly striped sweater has pretty black hearts, trim, and a long black bow to match the tee beneath, and the skirt is wrapped and ruffled for even more lovely details. I'm a firm believer in pride clothing being perfect for all year long, as a reminder to the community that they will always have my support :)

For my final look, I couldn't resist another visit to Blackstone (yes, I shared an Advent gift from there yesterday) to grab their gorgeous Kareen Dress - Cherry gift. It is just past the Advent tree actually, so you can also click the current date's gift while you're there and get 2 gifts at once :) So this charming mini dress has lace insets on both sides, and metallic trim on the bust, edges of the lace, and studs on the straps that cross above the bodice. It comes in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD with 6 metals to choose from. The S shapes of the insets make us look even more curvy, just accentuating our figure perfectly!

I've got a busy day ahead with an early appointment, so I am trying to get this post ready as quickly as possible :) As of right now I do plan on posting tomorrow evening, but just in case please forgive if it doesn't work out and I have to wait until Friday night to return. I've got so much I want to share though, I am really going to try. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts For MGSN Group

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I bopped around the grid visiting several MGSN (Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News) group's participating stores, finding plenty of treats to share with all of you. The group is free to join, and many of their designers have gifts for anyone visiting with the group tag active. Just look for the MGSN sign, frequently among other gifts for multi-designer groups like this. We can't really tell how often these are swapped out for others, so any of these could be changed soon and you might not want to hesitate if you see something you just can't live without :)

My first stop was {Poeme}, where the MGSN tag will let you claim their lovely Espionne Bleu Summer Gown. I know I know, lol, it isn't exactly summer according to the calendar here anymore, but in SL we can visit any climate we wish to at any given moment so this is still quite handy. The gown comes in sizes for Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and has a tropical feeling thanks to the amount of skin shown :) 

I made a last minute decision to add what I call modesty flowers here, those white coverings I popped over my breasts in Photoshop since the lace of these dresses is very noticeably sheer in that area. The Delicatt Couture - Cassandra Gown P8 is a pack of 3 versions of this beautiful long dress - lace blue, blue, and lace C.5 - each in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. The one on the left above is blue lace, and lace C.5 can be seen on the right with their gorgeous rear view and pert train. The one just called 'blue' is solid without the lace so I could have worn that to avoid showing off the nips, lol, but I really wanted you to see the intricate lace.

The [COSMOS] Joyce Dress / 20 Colors Fatpack group gift for MGSN is sure to turn heads too! This sleek minidress is unzipped to show off cleavage, and comes in Maitreya, Lara X, and Petite X sizes. The HUD provided has 20 colors for the dress and 5 for the metal, so your zipper and heart-shaped pull can also change to suit your tastes. So pretty!

Another gift that reminded me of sunshine and warm weather is the ND - Meiah Denim Dress from Nala Design. This sweet dress has pockets on the skirt front and spaghetti straps with alternating colored gemstones, all adjustable with the included HUD. It's got 15 choices each for the outside up, outside down, inside up, and inside down portions of the dress, 12 diamonds colors for each set of gems, and 4 metals, so as usual I'm going to suggest playing with the HUD and seeing what all it does :) The dress fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, as well as having 5 standard sizes included.

My final look of the evening also made me think 'variety', and 'sexy' and 'wow' :) The [If design] Beck dress fits Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 20 colors each for the bra portion and the main dress. On the left above I was going for contrast, then on the right my goal was to show off that side slit so I kept things more simple with all in blue. As you can see, it looks fantastic either way :)

The slight cold I was developing last night has continued to worsen today, so I'm a crabby feverish-feeling magpie with a sore throat and cough. I've also been listening to the housemate coughing until they gag, at least a dozen fits of that, and as an emetophobic (fear of vomit) I guess you can imagine that my mood was not improved by that at all. Sigh. I am not going to my parents' for dinner tomorrow because who knows if I'm contagious or not, and it isn't work risking. As for blogging, I will if I feel up to it but that is not guaranteed at this point. Just in case I should wish you a happy weekend now, and a decent day/evening with many magical germ-free virtual magpie hugs to everyone!!
