A Bit More Totally Wrong Hunt

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more prizes to show you from the Totally Wrong Hunt before moving on to one of the several other gridwide hunts taking place right now. It's a feast of free treasures to find, and I couldn't be happier about that. For now, prepare for some smiles and perhaps even giggles, as we take another look at some totally wrong but very amusing treasures :)
If you would like to feel like a quirky princess, this gown might be right up your alley. This is prize #31 from Faerietale Designs and is named Dotty Princess, and it includes a HUD with 8 fun texture choices. There are 6 solid colors with white dots, and 2 different multicolor sets of dots on white backgrounds. The style is quite flattering.

I admit, the preview picture of this prize was enough to make me laugh out loud, and trying it on just gave me strange flashbacks of 80's music videos or maybe workout videos. This is prize #27 from Marquesse, and is simply called ATWH Outfit (for A Totally Wrong Hunt). It includes the mesh jacket, boots for Slink high in 5 different sizes, and the top, bottom, and bodysuit in system layers and appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. So fun!

Here we have prize #25 from Country Couture, their Totally Wrong Overalls and Snakeskin Boots. I slipped off my slink feet to show the default avatar boots, which clash wonderfully with the wild print of the overalls :) Those and the neon green shirt beneath are one mesh piece in standard sizes, so finding a good fit should be easy.

For more silly matching, nothing beats the prize from Cheeky Parrot Boutique. The women's gifts include the coffee sweatshirt and pink sequin mini skirt shown, along with some boots that I didn't realize until too late did not unpack (must have been no-copy) so those are not shown. The men's includes a blazer and plaid sweatpants, so another playful mixture of formal and casual. I have found myself saying this a lot from this hunt, but I will be happy to wear these pieces individually :)

Just for fun, I couldn't resist showing you the prize from Octopus' Garden Cafe. This is #15 in the hunt, and is their Steampunk Motor Snail. He comes in a Proper version and an Erm version, hehe, and when you turn off your AO and fly wearing him, you will certainly see why :) Whimsy is good for the soul, and many of these prizes will provide plenty of that.

Nail note of the night: same as last night, I used the Autumn Morning group gift HUD from Hello Dave, which is still free to join. The darkest and lightest shades are great neutrals for all of these wild outfits, all 6 colors are terrific. Their previous group gifts will keep your nails polished for ages! As for my hair, I revisited the Ploom retirement sale which ends in a little more than a week, and was glad to see that my favorite purchase from before was still there. I am wearing their Celeste hair, which comes with optional bow attachments and the HUD has colors for the bows. They are retiring all of the Ploom styles soon, along with poses, and they are rebranded as Due so at least we still have the opportunity to enjoy new hair from their creativity.

Well, I have had a full and fun weekend, and I hope you all enjoyed yours as well. Soon we enter a new week, full of possibilities and new opportunities. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

More Atlantis Hunt Goodies

Hiya everyone! I have some more prizes from the Atlantis Hunt to share with you, and since there were so many Greek themed ones in this batch I decided to head to a sim with some ancient ruins to reflect that. I checked Second Life's destinations page on their website and found the Temple of Portunus, well I wandered a bit when I got there so I was on that sim but various areas within. I quite enjoyed the breaktaking scenery, as well as the prizes, so let's take a peek!

As in yesterday's post, the prevailing color is aqua, and believe me that is not a complaint but a happy observation. This stunner is our prize from Mishmash Fusion #12 and is called Cleito, includes the gorgeous mesh dress and matching Slink high shoes. The details are terrific as you can see, and the shoes even have a swirly little addition on the top of the heel. The short dress has that alluring tail draped down and around the ankle, and that neckline doesn't need any jewelry whatsoever.

I feel like a mermaid version of a Botticelli painting! Instead of a shell, I appear to be rising from some gorgeous ruins though, in my lovely new dress from Kelli Kreations. Nerissa here is prize #11 in the hunt, and has some beautiful texturing along with those fun crimson fins. Be aware that the view from behind is a tad bit cheeky, as it is quite short. I was fortunate to be able to match my nails to the deep red, as the Trident HUD from Rad Designs (#16 and featured in yesterday's post also) has the red as one of their 6 color choices.

This toga style dress is delightful, and the myriad of rich blues and golds in this design makes it even better! This is our prize from #13 Emerald Couture, and the men will find a gladiator skirt in this gift for them to enjoy as well.

Another take on the terrific toga, this time from Country Couture #14, and it includes both the dress and the gladiator heels for Slink high feet. Each come in several mesh sizes for your needs.

In our last photo of the night, we have a sexy mini dress with an intriguing design on the front (glimpses of the hidden Atlantis?) and a lovely jewelry set. First the dress, it is courtesy of {Get Frocked} and they are #17 in the hunt. The necklace you see here is part of the Minoan Labrys Jewelry set from Octopus' Garden Cafe, and comes in Dainty, Goddess, and He-Man sizes as well as matching earrings. I have just learned (thank you, google!) that a labrys is the term for the doubleheaded axe and was associated with female divinity, so that makes it even more appealing.

Nail note of the night is that they are all from Rad Designs, #16 in the hunt and shown yesterday as well. Hair note, another Hair Fair goodie, an Alice Creations gift that didn't make it into my original post featuring their gifts because they included so many! As always, details in the credits.

My insomnia was worse than usual, so I am still a bit loopy and hoping that I am making sense and getting all my information correct here. Sending best wishes for a fun-filled day/evening, and magical magpie hugs to each of you!!
