Still Celebrating Cosmo

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to head back to the Cosmopolitan Event for their 13th anniversary, second round of the month. It's a part two with all new group gifts, so it is very much worth revisiting if you stopped by earlier in the month. You'll need their free group tag active, and click any of the wooden crates you find for your treats :) Their rounds are brief, but they bring the heavy hitters of SL designers to provide impressive sales offers, and this time of year there are plenty of group gifts for us to enjoy as well.


My first look comes from Via Fulo and is their Starla Dress Gift. The bold yellow made me think of sunshine, but perhaps also because of its glossy texture :) We receive sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. If you look closely you'll see that the skirt is rather sheer, but also that there are panties built in so we do have some privacy for our nether regions. I'm still dazzled by the vibrant color, and I am not even usually that big on the color yellow but this hue has captivated me.


Next we're getting a little provocative with the Faida - Gia violet gift :) This is the type of bodysuit for when you are celebrating a special occasion and offering yourself as the gift, LOL, as it is revealing and tied with a huge bow in the front. There are Gen X Classic, Camel Kups, Camel Toy Kup, Camel Toy UP, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes included. I honestly don't know what a few of those are, my first time seeing a size with the word camel in it, so it's either new or just new to me :) Besides the bow, my favorite part of this would have to be the color, since I am a purple fan in any hue.


Sometimes fate brings a terrific pairing among the many gifts for an event, as with the top and jeans you see here. Our Carol's Store- Brianna Crochet Light Blue gift is a sweet halter top with carefully woven lace and a solid weave for the bra cups to provide proper coverage while being a warm weather delight. The unpacker HUD offers Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Momma, and Reborn mesh body sizes. Just deliver what you need and keep the HUD for future reference if you wish :) I balanced out the bare skin up top with the [Flirt] Kali jeans-CosmoGift, classically styled with front and back pockets and a slim fit in the leg. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies included. The washed denim in soft brown looks so cozy, and this combo makes me think of the sky above and the earth below. 


The charming #SHOOSH - Viktoria Dress & Corset is a playful treat in two pieces that are each a different shade of lush satin. The red dress and white corset each come in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes, and the dress can be worn without the corset layer if you choose. Both have golden trim, the side zipper on the dress and the corset's loops that look like piercings, plus the corset zipper that ends in a pentacle shaped pull :) Anyone else have a hard time recalling which is the pentacle and which is a pentagram? I've got to remember that pentacle and circle end in the same few letters, hence the pentacle is the one with the ring around the star.  I do love that type of tool to remember random things.


My final look is the Orphic + badders' suzie ballet dress gift, with a quick explanation of the name. The current store brand is Orphic, and there is a notecard enclosed that says that badders' was their prior store name so that's why you see both names here. This dress is steamy thanks to the very short bubble skirt, in sizes for eBody and Legacy mesh bodies with a HUD offering 8 colors. Because of how brief the hem is, I added a pair of panties from the marketplace - Lilbird GIFT Simple BOM panties, which come in several colors and are a free gift. Naturally by the time I chose my poses and took the pictures, I realized that the panties are barely visible even though when I first tried the dress on I could see...well I almost want to quote Kate McKinnon and the alien abduction skits here for a snarky way of saying my entire private areas front and back ;) I'm still listing the panties in my credits, and warning you that you may give someone quite an eyeful if you go commando somewhere in this hot dress. For some that's a feature and not a bug, so go get 'em tiger!

Usually I do outings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but since my appointment yesterday was an outing I am doing Monday and Wednesday this week instead. The result of course is confusion, since I seem to thrive on consistency and routine. My plans tomorrow are so early that there is a slight chance of it interfering with my blog schedule, meaning if I cannot get my booty in gear fast enough I may have to skip tomorrow evening. I'll be short about 4 hours of sleep, so my body might decide I need to use blog prep time for resting instead. Otherwise it was a good day, more adventures with Hello Kitty and her cozy game, and I am looking into a few potential things for upcoming blog posts. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cupids Curse Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a perfect time to recognize those of you who are not fans of Valentine's Day, and would like some free gifts to reflect that :) I visited the Cupids Curse event and was blown away by the number of designers taking part, and the region is decorated in Goth, anti-Valentine type style which will make many darkened hearts go pitter-patter. A really fun touch is that the columns next to the displays with a hanging anatomically correct heart are there to distribute gifts to all, just give each heart a click. Some are set for sale for $0L, others deliver the gift on touch, and a few were not set up quite yet; but the event is open until the 8th of March so there is plenty of time for those to be remedied. Please be sure to follow all the paths and stairs, as there are three levels of this event to enjoy. I have had times in my life when I adored Valentine's Day but plenty of years when I was more of a skeptic, just done with all the mushy stuff, so I can see both points of view and respect it all. That does mean you'll see more pink and red and hearts here too, just not exclusively. Please note that these gifts lean towards the adult side of things, so these images leave less to the imagination than typical for me.


My first look of the evening is two gifts paired playfully together. The top is our //Rowers// Frida Hoddie Fatpack, a cropped sweatshirt in sizes for Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. There is also a HUD included that offers 6 colors each for the shirt and the details. I couldn't resist wearing it with the [APPETITE] Valentine-Seni Gift Shorts, high waisted with more fun stripes :) These cuties come in eBody Reborn and Legacy sizes, with a +bulge version for each. I got such a kick out of the hearts on the rear, pierced with an arrow, so you can see that Cupid got here and cursed our booty ;)


Our gift from Uni-qu3: is their :*Aknaa dress*:Red: which is a sheer delight, quite literally! The sparkly see-through dress and solid fingerless gloves are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. It is so handy to be able to choose with or without sleeves, or even peel off those sleeves seductively.


The Uni-qu3 dress has a cutout that made me realize it was just right to share another gift, our Orphic + Heart Tattoo v1. It looks to be symbolic of the three of swords tarot card, which indicates heartbreak or emotional pain, so that is spot on for the Cupids Curse event. We receive BOM layers in 50, 80, and 100% opacities, so we can choose how fresh or faded we wish our ink to appear.


Next I might have gotten a little carried away by combining three gifts in one look ;) The pasties are the SYNAPSE STORE - Noire Pasties Gift which are designed to fit Legacy and Reborn bodies, with a HUD to select from 4 colors. The heart shape is a fun nod to the season, don't you think? They cover up just enough to still show off our (GH) Cupid GIFT tattoo from Ghux, which is a simple BOM layer with several small images on our chest and abdomen. Working our way down, the remaining treat I'm eager to tell you about is our nope. nara solids - cupid set shorts. These low rise shorts have a solid colored trim and heart pattern on the main fabric, all in your choice of 5 color combos via the enclosed HUD. The shorts will fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies.


My final look this evening is a flirty romper called [.KK.] Michele Romper - Flower Lace. This treat would make great lingerie, thanks to the diaphanous lace and the deep V neckline that leads to a heart shaped clasp :) It is designed for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and comes with a HUD that offers 24 colors each for the body and trim. I purposely avoided red this time, but hot pink trim is making an appearance for a spicy nod to the holiday I suppose. 

Whew, the winter storm whizzed through without too much damage, as we got about 4" here and the rain all day tomorrow should wash things away. The temperature being above freezing (just by a few degrees) should help with that too. I tried the SL mobile app on an android tablet that is not exactly the newest or most powerful by any means, and it was so bad it was comical. I have a newer iPad that I'll try later, just to see if that helps any. I tried both my main and alt accounts, and the main (premium) did slightly better...she even rezzed as an actual avi and not just an outline of a human! I was running all around the house because I apparently don't know how to walk, just run...I have 2 cats and 2 dogs at the house which rezzed for my main account eventually but not for the alt. It took about 10 minutes for the majority of textures to appear. There must be an instructional video I can watch to see what I did wrong because I am really clueless with it, yet managed to amuse myself :) So I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
