Sewer Scores Part Two

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're back in the sewer maze to find more Scoop N Score prizes. These free goodies come from exploring the SL Syndicate sewers and finding poops, and you can even get your celebratory gold poop scoopers for free by clicking the 6th anniversary signs at the landing area :) The website is very helpful by letting us know how many prizes each store has hidden, so we can keep track of all 140+ droppings. I have this urge to use as many different terms for poop as I can possibly think of, LOL, but I will spare you and just get on with sharing the impressive contents ;) Some of the names are hilarious, like these designers have entirely too much fun coming up with puns to name their hunt objects and I am here for it!


For my first look I'm wearing two of the prizes from +CHANDRA+ which obviously work wonderfully together. Their ALABASANDRIA TOP BROWN is provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, and Reborn sizes, and did you notice the fingers wrapped around my throat? That's right, the halter neckline is a subtle hand shape with four fingers towards the right and the thumb on the left so it's someone's left hand. I am a southpaw but I didn't do it ;) The +CHANDRA+ WILLOW PANTS BROWN has a sheen from advanced lighting (materials enabled) that gives the fabric a purple and blue shimmer that will depend on your ambient lighting to really see at its best. That means the lamps in your home, any body lights you wear, and the lighting in any store or club will show off a little extra color. These pants fit Legacy and Reborn mesh bodies.


I scooped up another of their prizes, lol, the sexy +CHANDRA+ RADNA BODYSUIT BROWN seen here. The low cut neckline is matched by the plunging back, all the way down to booty cleavage so it's a fine choice to show off back tattoos. There are Kupra, Legacy, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizes provided for this beauty. The seams and the ruching really add a lot of visual interest here too, that is if anyone can look away from your cleavage for a split second.


Petrichor has provided 4 poops for this hunt, one of which contains the beautiful :[P]:- Summer Krusade Jewelry I am wearing here. The long earrings are adjustable, and the trio of necklaces (short, medium, and long) are rigged to fit the Legacy body's neckline perfectly. All have swords in gold and teal, a striking color combo that will go nicely with all sorts of clothing. I also like the fact that the three necklaces are separate pieces, so you can pick the length that suits your outfit or combine them however you personally prefer. 


My final look this evening features all 4 hunt prizes from Normandy, since their styling and colors work together delightfully. The Ageko.Dress SNS could be considered our centerpiece, a strapless mini cut high enough on both sides to create a front and back panel. The seaming is remarkable, isn't it? The dress fits Legacy, Perky, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, Rolls, Teacups, and Waifu bodies and mods. Then I added our Normandy-DemonsBane.Gloves SNS, shiny black gloves with studs on the upper arm and open fingertips to allow our nails to show through. These come in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. The Normandy-Gremar.Boots SNS combine the black latex of the gloves with green tops that match the dress, and come up so high they actually touch the hem! There are Legacy and Reborn versions of these badass boots. Did you notice the green soles and the touch of red underneath, like a famous high-end RL shoe brand? If you'd like a little something encircling your neck, I'm a fan of the Normandy-HeavyHearts.Collar-SNS to really complete this look :) There is a simple version I'm wearing as well as OC (Open Collar?) and Whim scripted ones included, and you can see a closer view in the inset of the broken heart at the clasp and a couple of the metallic studs that go all the way around. All four pieces are wonderfully detailed and ready to bring the sass to your wardrobe.

It was a fairly unremarkable day, which was appreciated after the chaos of Sunday. The weather is still warming up, and I see lots of showers and rain in the forecast for the week ahead. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that things go smoothly :) I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Crypt Crawl Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the SLS Crypt Crawl Hunt, a spooky trip through an abandoned carnival, hedge maze, funhouse turned asylum, and a graveyard with mausoleums and chapels to explore. There are over 150 free prizes for those who are brave enough to examine every nook and cranny, high and low, hiding inside lollipops that look as though they've seen better days ;) They are rainbow colored swirls that are bent and slightly faded, so I guess they got wet at some point and might even be a little sticky. When you land you can pick up a free lollipop (fresher than the hunt objects lol) to wear and click anything suspicious you see to follow the storyline, but it is not required to claim the free prizes. Meanwhile there's a fantastic sales event nearby (teleport pad near landing spot) which is a sidewalk sale with discounts of 25% or more. SLS stands for Second Life Syndicate, who bring us loads of sales and hunts throughout the year so I'm a bit fan. If you remember the Scoop n Score hunt (wandering through sewers looking for poo) or Green Freaks (gold coins) hunts, those are theirs also :) As you can probably guess from the general theme and the time of year, there are some creepy sights awaiting like body parts that are no longer attached to their bodies, blood and gore, and probably the thing that bothered me the most was in the funhouse...a rotating tunnel with lights that leads to a room with black and white swirly lines that made me a little dizzy. I've had trouble with seeing motion since my anxiety flared again a few months back, and I got turned around so I had to go through that area a few different times....creating my own headdesk moment I guess. We have until the 5th of November for both the sale and the hunt, so come and get your creep on!


Web Dew has several free prizes available in this hunt, like this exquisite ::WD:: Set Rebecca - Orange. The very detailed top, sleeves, skirt, and collar each fit Erika, Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The brooches for left and right arms and the chest are all unrigged so we can adjust them if we need to. We also receive a details HUD with 10 colors for each of 8 portions like the chains, bows, flower petals, etc., and there is a transparency HUD with 3 areas (sides of breasts, sides of waist, hem trim) to choose from none, blend, or mask. I did blending on one and masking on the other, but I apologize that I've simply forgotten which is which. Yes these things still confuse me, even after 16 years in SL, lol!


You'll definitely need to give this image a click to see it in full, as the impressively sized skirt made for a wider image than average. This is our ::WD:: Youth - Orange-Purple prize which is also from Web Dew, and reminds me of a floral fairy costume (Thumbelina?). It consists of top, skirt, petals, panties, and shoes, each provided in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. The HUD for this outfit has all sorts of fun settings to play with - glow in 8 colors and 5 settings, gloss in 8 colors, walking sounds on/off for the shoes, and transparency settings of blend/mask/none. Blend is one of the above and mask is the other, while none would make the skirt completely solid looking all the way to the hem.


Sorting through the many prizes was almost as much of an adventure as the hunt itself, and I wound up with two 'bottoms' without coordinating tops but also this wonderful tattoo that I just had to share. The tattoo is the Lolapop! - The Familiar Tattoo which is one of 5 different prizes they have hidden, and it consists of BOM layers in faded, new (shown), and red. Our familiar looks to have cat ears, with different variations on the arm, back, and collarbone areas. There are symbols down the arm to the hands too, very thorough and nicely done. My panties here are the Normandy Crusher Panties CC hunt prize, which fit Cakes, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Rolls mesh bodies/mods. The symbol on the front looks like Baphomet, and the waistline is intriguingly designed :) As for my chest, well I covered the nips with a very handy set of pasties from the marketplace, the [ Embox ] // Modest Heart Pasties - TINTABLE. They are free and include 3 sizes of breast pasties and a lower heart for the crotch. 


I kept that outfit mostly the same with one major change...I couldn't resist sharing the Normandy - Lithe Skirt CC prize! There is a red rose outline on the left thigh of this tight, high waisted skirt with latex sheen, so many great details here the longer you look. When you find this lollipop, you will receive sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Rolls bodies, all for free :)


My last look of the evening gave me a nervous chuckle when I tried it on, then another when I turned around! This is the Insomnia Angel.. Elly's Nightmare Dress [orange] prize, and it looks like Elly's nightmare is having extra hands protruding from her lovely new dress! This is just perfect for Halloween, don't ya think? It fits eBody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with a HUD offering 12 colors apiece for bows, trim, and bottom ruffle as well as show/hide the black mist around the arm. There are 6 skin tints for the hands, and 5 for the hands' nails, just in case you wish to adjust the look of whomever is creeping out of your clothing ;) One choice was green which made me think of zombies, so perhaps that will help inspire your Halloween costume.

It was a decent day here, and I am preparing for my therapy session tomorrow afternoon while trying to decide exactly what I'll be blogging in the evening. There are a few possibilities, so it boils down to figuring out what suits my other plans best, fitting into my schedule I suppose. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Pirates Plunder Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring a terrific free gridwide hunt from SL Syndicate called Pirates Plunder. These are the same fine folks who annually bring us the Scoop N Score, Green Freaks, Crypt Crawl, and a few other entertaining hunts as well as sales events with an impressive array of designers. For our current Pirates Plunder, a black X marks the spot as our hunt object, trimmed (shadowed?) in teal green which does help its visibility. Some are sized fairly small, while others are bigger than our avi's heads, and since there are no hints we are just perusing each store and poking around to see where that X could be :) Their website has a list of the participating stores with links in alphabetical order, and the number of prizes since a couple of them are offering 2. It just started on the 6th and wraps up on the 20th of August, so we've got just under 2 weeks which is plenty of time since Xan and I were able to find all the prizes in one shot of 2 hours or so. We did have a little assistance as someone with a lovely pony avatar was on the hunt path along with us and we wound up working together to make sure if one found the prize, the others noticed. It was a pleasure, and her cute reactions made it even more entertaining than usual. The hunt prizes mostly match the theme and have some tongue-in-cheek touches, and even the names of your folders when you collect them have lots of booty jokes and pirate speak to make you smile.


For my first look this evening, I am wearing one of the two awesome gifts from Web Dew. Their ::WD:: Pirate - Gray outfit consists of the top, pants, belt, and coat each in sizing for Kupra/Kups, Legacy/Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Then the hat, choker, and boots are all unrigged so we can adjust them, and the choker has a resize script built in. There are even 2 HUDs to tweak the look, the main "details" HUD offering 8 colors apiece for the top, closures, belt, and metal, and the choker HUD letting us select from 8 colors for it. So much fun and versatility!!


Our other prize from Web Dew is their ::WD:: Pirate - Watermelon outfit, which is a lively color variation of the gray set in the first photo. We receive the same pieces and sizes, with just the one HUD for our choker with 8 metallic hues to choose from. I left the coat off on the right here so you could see that strapless corset top without it and really enjoy the style. I am a big fan of Web Dew in general and look forward to their prizes from every SLS hunt round :)


Next I got a bit creative, wearing a belt as a skirt and hoisting a pirate flag above it ;) The top is our Normandy-YoHo Tube Top prize, a simple clean style adorned with classic skull and crossbones we associate with pirates. It fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, Mounds, and Teacups mesh bodies/mods. Then I added the AseRiz - belt Asia Hunt prize, which is labeled skirt belt on the vendor image inside but that also shows it worn over a pair of panties so I am definitely not at my most modest here ;) There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, all in that flowing diaphanous golden fabric. *chef's kiss*


The flirty skirt belt came in handy to show off another top, our ASH. -Scratch Top prize. The high neckline is a fun contrast to the slashes across the front (Wolverine?) and diagonal hem that bares a touch of underboob on the left, all in a deep brown leathery fabric. We receive Belleza X Classic, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Mounds sizes of this beauty. You can certainly wear it with lots of pants, shorts, or skirts you already have in your inventory as well :) The rear view shows off not only the solid unscratched top's back, but the fuller panel of the skirt/belt along with how sheer it is.


For my final look of the evening, I had my very first experience with the alpha tab of the Legacy mesh body HUD to comfortably wear our prize from Tea Lane (and yes, that is a good thing because learning is always positive!). Their stunning ~TL~ Gunpowder Gertie Coat has a vibrant color combo of the yellow/orange pattern trimmed in deep purple, with gold buttons and a softer purple flower at the lapel. It comes in a classic M size as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. No Legacy, so I am wearing the Maitreya which was a close fit and I just had to alpha out my arms and hips and it worked out really well. I tried on other sizes too, and a few were also similar enough that I could have done the same with those too. 

It's been a challenging day, partly due to the storms rolling through the area that caused my power to glitch out earlier and knocked Xan's out about an hour ago (he is about 3 hours away by car). The storm system that was supposed to come back my way in a few hours seems to have shifted away, so that's a big relief, and I am just sending occasional encouraging messages to Xan while he waits for his power to be restored. He is safe, that's what matters ♥. I did go out earlier but my stomach got uneasy and the anxiety ramped up, so it wasn't a rousing success but I got to the nearby destination and back even if I felt poorly. It's a challenge getting my body and brain to cooperate for these baby steps I'm taking to be able to go out comfortably, and this felt like when a hockey team wins 8-7 and it's like well their goals were great but the defense sucked so it was a technical win but still bleh. There's always room for improvement :) Still waiting for my doctor to get back to me with referrals to therapists in the area who have been successful helping similar issues, and can do televisits while I am struggling. At least in SL I can simply teleport wherever I want and my avi never gets motion sickness. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Scoop N Score

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some spoils to share from the challenging but entertaining Scoop N Score Hunt from SL Syndicate. This isn't my first foray down to the sewers to search a maze for poops, as it is their 5th anniversary of this particular hunt, and I'm very lucky to have had Xan's help each year because mazes are not my strong point. Yes, I said we're looking for poops, LOL, and these have tiny faces and even little legs. They are each free, and there are over 150 with absolutely free prizes inside! Some of the gifts are themed but not all, I'd say most are not while a few are a brown colored version as a nod to the hunt. The website lists how many prizes/poops are hiding from each participating designer, which can help you keep track. Xan and I spent hours exploring and getting lost, and having SL weirdness like things we were looking at just vanish and derender themselves for no reason (we each had it different times in different areas) so I recommend teamwork and patience. Eventually I wound up camming into a room we had not been in yet and could not find a way in despite wandering for hours, so I sat on a chair in there to put my avatar into that section. Prizes include fashions, accessories, home decor, and more, a little something for just about everyone.


My first look of the evening starts with the ::WD:: Dress Willa - Gift from Web Dew, who have 8 prizes out there for us. The dress and matching panties will fit Erika, Kupra Squeezed, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. That vibrant print really shows off the colors and the sequined trim nicely! The strapless style was an ideal foil for the Evado Babygirl Collar, one of 5 prizes they have hiding in the sewer system. It includes an unrigged version as well as Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes, and a HUD with 6 metals and 22 fabric hues. As you can see on the closeup (inset), the collar has BabyGirl in your choice of metal tone with a matching heart charm that bears a deep pink/magenta paw print. It matches the main color of the dress in a fun coincidence, but with the many options on the HUD you can pair this with just about anything you prefer.


Speaking of paw prints, I seem to be covered with a fresh trail of them here! That would be the GERMINAL - IMPRINT TATTOO BOM ONLY prize, one of 9 they are offering in this hunt. There are 2 BOM layers, the original I'm wearing and a white tintable version that you can simply edit (right click in inventory - edit or right click yourself to edit outfit) and change the color which will save a new copy for you. My alluring outfit is another treat from Web Dew, called ::WD:: Set Frida - Blue. It consists of the bra, panties, arms, and garter each in sizing for eBody Reborn, Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with an unrigged matching collar. There is also a HUD with 24 textures each for 7 different sections, so you can click the image of the section to change just one or slap that "all" button :) I went white on the left but pink and blue on the right, and of course there are plenty of other possibilities.


My next outfit is comprised of 3 of the 4 prizes from Normandy which combine beautifully. The Xan.Top SNS has bare shoulders and long sleeves that extend to the palms, with notched neckline that matches the waistband of the shorts. The top will fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, Mounds, and Teacups mesh bodies. Then I added the Xan.Shorts which include sizes for Cake, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Rolls bodies. I think the straps of the Tau.Heels have a bit of glow to them, don't they? These sky high platforms fit Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn feet, and I apologize that I was having some trouble adjusting my hover height to fully show them off from the front. You can see the full height on the right :)


Remember how I said that some of the gifts are poop themed? *giggle* Tea Lane would be responsible for several themed prizes, like their ~TL~ Summer Lounge Poop outfit seen here. The top and bottom both come in Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes along with a standard fitted version. Their poo emoji pattern is surprisingly subtle, and a perfect match for their ~TL~ Poop Slouch Boots prize. These wedge heeled boots come up to just below the knee, and are provided in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes. I included a closer view of the fabric pattern so you could see the cute little poops, which is a statement I never expected to make in a blog yet I am not sorry ;)


My final look has a side by side view of two -wraith- prizes, a sampling of the 6 striking colors among their prizes. The left is the Roxanne - Scoop N Score - Prize 2 - Red version, with the Prize 6 - Purpl making an appearance to the right above. These are each designed to fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Juicy Rolls bodies, and have a fun metallic ombre of each color down to black. The bra cups are intriguing with those slender straps, and the high cut leg openings lead to a thong style in the rear. 

Whew, this was quite a hectic weekend after all! My parents and I each ordered meals from a registered dietician who used to sell her food at the farmers market we go to, and her business has been growing lately so she hired a new delivery driver who started this week. Not only was he over an hour later than the noon-2PM window (hers was 10-11AM) but the food was on his floorboards and warm. Sound gross? It might have been in his warm car for several hours with no ice or even a bag. We couldn't trust it and had to get a refund, and neither of us will probably order from her again unless her delivery process improves. My body is starting to react slightly to the antibiotics, stomach issues mostly, so that made today a rough one and makes food safety even more important. I have 5 more days of meds (10 pills, 2 a day) and a follow-up visit on Tuesday, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that these pills do their job and stop bothering me so much. As for blog stuff, I have plenty more prizes to share from this hunt so please stay tuned :) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Green Freaks Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we explore the Green Freaks Hunt, a fantastic free gridwide hunt from SL Syndicate that (along with the corresponding sidewalk sale) celebrates all things green. Many of the prizes are St. Patrick's Day themed but generally you can expect gorgeous shades of green in all sorts of fun items. The hunt lasts until the 26th so you have well over a week left to find these goodies, which are hidden inside gold coins with a green clover on them. I always enjoy SL Syndicate's hunts and events, and if you are on the lookout for bargains I recommend peeking at all the stores' discounted offers at $25% off or more. 


My first look this evening is the ::WD:: Long Dress - Stripes which is one of 3 free prizes found at Web Dew. There are sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Physique, and Physique Petite mesh bodies included. I was drawn to the bold vertical striping and the single bared shoulder, and let's not forget the pretty attached belt. 


Another generous Web Dew hunt prize is the beautiful ::WD:: Dress Willa. In addition to the stunning asymmetrical hemmed mini dress, we also receive matching panties, all in Erika, Kupra Squeezed, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn sizing. The panties are in the same sequined fabric as the dress trim, as you are about to see...


The Willa panties came in handy to help me show off another prize without showing off too much ;) This is the Eliavah ~ Opulence Blouse, a strapless corset style top in emerald green, with black ruffle at the lower hem. It includes eBody Reborn, Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Maitreya Flat, and Petite sizes. All you have to do is find the free gold coin to claim it. 


The prize at -/Harmony\- is their playful Irish Kiss BOM tattoo, a smattering of smooch marks in various shades of green that appear in some intriguing spots. The system/BOM layers included are Full (all of the above), Face for Evo X, Upper, and Lower body so we can wear them individually if we wish. The green looks great with the top and the thong panties, doesn't it?


My final look of the evening is the Normandy-WICKED Claws prize, a daring and delightful set of pointy mesh nails in green with teal hues. There are Erika, Kupra, Legacy Female, Legacy Male, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes included, just hide your body's nails with its HUD and add these :) I would like to note that I found last year's coin before finding this year's, so there is still a prior hunt gift out that said 2022 in the description in hovertext. This one did not have a year on it, but the landmark inside says Havendale Village which is the new hunt HQ location. The store is a fascinating build, and I always enjoy visiting.

We are getting closer and closer to the weekend, and I'm definitely ready for it to arrive already :) There is always something happening in SL too of course, so the possibilities are endless. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Time For Crypt Crawl

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some amazing treats to share from the Crypt Crawl sidewalk sale event and hunt. There are over 100 prizes to be found (I think I came up with 125 by adding the numbers on the hunt website) all over the hunt sim, inside small books that you can find a picture of on the hunt's website. This event is brought to us by Second Life Syndicate, who consistently organize very impressive sales and hunts throughout the year (remember the sewer hunt for poops? LOL) with talented and generous designers. As you can tell, I was very excited for the start of this round, and was grateful to have Xan's help because it was a particularly tricky hunt. Look high, look low, behind things, underwater...that may have been discovered when one of us fell into the water ;) I also suggest scouring the rocks and even swimming or flying over to the lighthouse near the landing area. Most of all, enjoy the scenery and the gifts!


My first look combines two prizes from [QE], starting with the Yvette Lingerie Hween Mystic on the left. This beauty includes the strapless bra, panties, and garter belt each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 2 metal choices. For the right side, I took off the bra and garter belt so I could change into the [QE] Brielle Bustier Hween Mystic. This corset style bustier is laced up in the front and comes in the same sizes as the lingerie, with a similar HUD offering 2 metals for the grommets. I love the purple color of the Mystic prizes, and was glad that they work together so well.


Two more hunt prizes can be seen in this look, also from the same wonderful designer. On the left I wanted to give you a rear view of the [QE] Yvette Lingerie Hween Potion, a vivid green shade as eye-catching as the Mystic above :) It is the same style so consists of that same trio of items in yes, the same set of mesh body sizing. You can probably guess that I decided to wear the panties with the [QE] Brielle Bustier Hween Potion prize, but you can mix and match these goodies however you wish. The bustier would look great with your favorite jeans or skirt, too!


What could be better for this time of year than pumpkins? :) The outfit on the left is the [QE] Yvette Lingerie Hween Punkin prize, a soft satiny shade of orange that is made 'spicy' by the flirty style. Same components and sizes as the previous photos/prizes, just like the bustier on the right which is the [QE] Brielle Bustier Hween Punkin. I am a big fan of this designer, so finding all 6 prizes was a primary goal of mine after reading through the list of participants on the website.


We can never have enough intimate wear, so I was excited to find the two books that contained these matching goodies :) This is the Normandy-RecoverBra-CryptCrawl and Normandy-RecoverPanties-CryptCrawl, designed to go perfectly together with those bold stripes. The bra fits Erika, Erika Squeezed, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, Reborn Juicy, Reborn Mounds, and Reborn Teacups bodies. The corresponding sizes for the panties are for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn, since those other bra sizes are specific to breast mods. Each of these prizes contains a notecard explaining that the designer has retired their HUDs and left their products modifiable, so we can edit and change the color (I tinted mine purple on the right) and glow, brightness, etc. This basically means we have endless possibilities!


My final look this evening is the ~fugue~ Frightfull Dresses v2 prize. There are purple, green, and orange (not shown) versions included, each in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The dark stripes provide such a nice contrast for the bright colored bows holding the bodice together, and the brief skirt decorated with pumpkins and spiders. Now the hard part is choosing which one to wear first!

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

More Scores From Scooping

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is another trip to the sewers of the Scoop 'n' Score Hunt, a challenging but very worthwhile endeavor where we look for free piles of poo in a three level sewer maze. It might be a good choice for your upcoming weekend if you have lots of spare time, as Xan and I spent a total of about 5 hours exploring and I feel that it went faster with teamwork. There are well over 100 prizes, I think the list on the website adds up to 130+, so it really is a valuable use of your time :) I have had so much fun with this year's prizes and the tongue in cheek humor like lot of amusing names for the poops, and don't forget to grab your free scooper at the start!


This stunning dress is the +Blue Blood+ Mara - BLACK hunt prize, a babydoll style with embossed black skulls on the full skirt. It is provided in a standard size for classic avatars, as well as Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. I couldn't resist pairing it with another of their prizes called +Blue Blood+ Keepitsafe Medallion. The layered necklace has a HUD with it that offers 8 choices, which are two designs in 4 metallic hues each. There is a cute lock hanging from beneath the pendant that says KEEP IT SAFE, a perfect sentiment for when you have entrusted someone with your heart.


In yesterday's post I shared two gifts from Normandy that combined for an appealing look, and tonight I am pleased to share two more :) The top and panties are our Flux MK2 [SNS] prize, which are each included in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The various symbols on it are all in white, striking against the black fabric. Then I added the Normandy-MEAN BITCH Boots [SNS], thigh high shiny latex platform boots that come in sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. They have a tinting HUD that you really need to play around with to appreciate, as it lets you color the trim, main boots, and platforms separately. The >>> marks on the back of the heels match the ones on the sides of the panties, so I am definitely liking these pieces together.


Another wonderful designer with multiple treats for us is Web Dew, with a dozen delightful prizes like this ::WD:: Dress Petal Cream Red. I feel like a fairy princess in it, and was amazed by the details like the veins on the petals of the skirt in the back! The dress comes in Freya Pushup, Isis Pushup, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes, while the sleeves are a separate attachment in sizes for Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Tonic bodies. This way you can wear the dress with or without the sleeves, although I admit to preferring it with the sleeves since I adore their shape and the sweet bows. 


Two more Web Dew prizes make an appearance in this look, starting on the left with their ::WD:: Top Camille - Animal. This fun peplum top looks like giraffe print, and includes sizes for Freya Pushup, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. On the right you can see the cozy ::WD:: Sweater Bat - Lime, with boat neck and sleeves that fall just below the elbow. This prize fits Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. 


For my final look this evening, I changed into another Web Dew goodie called ::WD:: Dress Stella - Dark Blue. It has a beautiful swirled pattern and a halter neckline whose strands trail enticingly down the back. We receive this beauty in sizes for Freya Perky, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies when we find the correct poo. Wow, that ending of the sentence is one that only makes sense in SL and in this particular hunt! ;) 

My plans for tomorrow are now in question, but I am trying to patiently wait for the morning to find out what on earth is going on. Most likely I am going to the farmers market one way or another, but I might be getting a ride with someone whose driving makes me very uncomfortable. Oh well, as long as I get there and back safely I guess, all will be well. The weather will be rainy which doesn't help my anxiety, but there are some tasty treats waiting for me. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still Scooping 'n' Scoring

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are taking a look at some more Scoop 'n' Score hunt prizes, terrific treats found by exploring a three-level sewer maze to find free piles of poo. They have tiny faces and some even have little stick legs, which makes them surprisingly cute :) There are well over a hundred of them waiting for you to find them, all of which will reward you with a free hunt prize. The hunt and corresponding cart sale are open until the end of the month, so you do have plenty of time left for this challenging endeavor. I really want to thank Xan for his help, as he assisted very patiently and effectively when I managed to get lost in the sewer tunnels. I would not make a very impressive ninja turtle, but he just might! Some of the poops have amusing names too, as I do enjoy a good pun. 


My first look of the night is a pair of prizes from Normandy that create one smoking hot outfit! The Ransom [SNS] top and skirt are each included in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes, in black latex with neon trim that can be tinted with the enclosed HUD. There are preset colors and an RGB input button, so you can really customize that hue. The Normandy-Veles Boots [SNS] have a similar HUD for their neon, and are provided in sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. These gifts don't have to be worn together, but they certainly make a fine pairing.


As I mentioned yesterday, Web Dew has a whopping 12 generous prizes in this hunt, so naturally I am excited to share a few more :) This is their ::WD:: Long Dress-Gragients #4, a full length dress with bare shoulders and a terrific ombre of red to pink to purple. It comes in sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Physique, and Physique Petite bodies. There are also a pair of earrings included with a HUD to choose from 10 colors apiece for three sections. You can see in the closer view that those would be the two bold buttons and the ring surrounding the lower dangling one. I will definitely want to wear these with all sorts of clothing besides this charming dress :)


Summer is almost here, but can be any time of year in SL, so I was especially happy to find the ::WD:: Set Tropica GIFT from Web Dew. This prize consists of the top and panties to fit Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The flip flops are for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn flat feet. You can probably guess that there is a HUD provided too, well that has 4 sets of colors/patterns for the entire outfit at once, or you can click individual pieces on the HUD to color separately. For example, the flowers on the flipflops on the left were a darker color but I chose to use the yellow that is from the version on the right to pick up on the sunset coloring. 


If you are craving something a little wild, be sure to find the 'pile' that holds this sexy ::WD:: Dress Emery - Red (T) prize. Its T stands for translucent, which is evident when you realize that you can see the included panties through the sheer parts of the dress. Both the dress and panties are provided in Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite body sizes. The fabric looks to have a glittery embossed pattern on it, so fun!


My final look this evening is a cozy layered top called ::WD:: Jacket Gwen - Berry. There are versions with and without the blouse layer beneath, so you could wear this over another type of top or simply bare. Each comes in sizing for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. There is also a HUD with 5 colors for the blouse, so you can change the look even further :) I love the huge sequins on the boldly colored knit jacket, giving it almost a feathery look for added fun. I needed some pants of course, so I turned to the Delizio marketplace gift that I am so fond of, and added their black jeans. They are one of I believe 9 colors that come in system/BOM layers as well as appliers for Maitreya and Omega. 

It was a quiet sort of day here, and tomorrow will be too as I am not going to my parents' for dinner. They have other plans that mean they won't be home in time for dinner, which is understandable. I have some leftovers that will be a nice choice instead, as I usually do not mind leftovers within a reasonable time of initial cooking. The weather is supposed to be rainy for a few days, but I am looking forward to the farmers market regardless :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
