Hiya everyone! There is plenty to show you on this chilly but lovely Friday evening, ways to look good and feel good. I picked up several group gifts for the FabFree (Fabulously Free in SL) group, which is free to join and is the inworld group for the amazing FabFree blog. They are such a valuable resource of information and tips to find free or inexpensive clothing and much more, for longtime residents as well as the newer denizens of our virtual world. Meanwhile, we have the opportunity to help animals in need by visiting Rally To Rescue and purchasing some extraordinary items from a few dozen different designers across the grid, with all proceeds going to no-kill, non-profit volunteer rescue organizations. Ghost Bullys MC, our host and organizer, is focused on rescuing pitbulls but are still looking out for all animals who need us. It is a worthy cause and I am so honored to be a tiny part of it by blogging these offerings. Even if you don't want to receive an item in return, you can always visit and make a donation at one of the kiosks there, as well as learn a bit more about what the event is all about.
First among our FabFree looks tonight, this is from Rowena's Designs and is called {RS} Harumi Gown. It is worthy of a red carpet for sure, and comes in several mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, eBODY, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, TMP, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Curvy. Also included, a HUD to allow you to choose from among 6 colors to tint this stunner to suit your tastes. Just wear your FabFree tag which tells the grid "I am Fabulous", and click the sign to claim it for free.
Another beautiful FabFree gift awaits you at Kamiri, their Melania Dress in Teal which is included in 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass and Slink Physique versions (like what I call the lucky 13, only with the added Hourglass!) to fit many shapes and sizes. That slit on the left leg is quite alluring, and the draped style is sure to be noticed as well.
Two terrific gifts here, let's start with that playful dress from No Cabide + FLG. It is called Jayne Mini Dress, and is one piece with the look of two because of the harness, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP along with 5 standard mesh sizes. There is also a wonderful HUD included which offers 10 texture choices for the dress as well as 10 colors to apply to the straps. So pretty! My jewelry is another FabFree gift, found at Beloved Jewelry and named Peridot Set in Brass. You will receive the necklace in versions with and without resize script, and matching earrings, in that soft green gem that reminds me so much of spring.
If you are excited about St Patty's Day approaching, or just a fan of the color green, you will enjoy this strapless mini dress with matching necklace from Ass Kicking Angels/VG. It is their Candy Mint Dress and comes in a size for standard avatars plus Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and eBODY versions. The included necklace even has a tiny clover dangling from the beads among the strands. I am also thrilled to show you this gorgeous tattoo, which can be found at Rally To Rescue courtesy of PinUp. Their [PU] Bonny Tattoo includes appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega, with shades of 40%, 60% (shown), and 80% to suit your skin tone and the look you desire. I love the intricate scrollwork, I am always a fan of details and this is a beauty. Just $150L at the event, all of which is donated. Their name here is the link to their main store, while the event location is in the credits at the end as well as the beginning of each post.
Look, puppies!!! ♥ I cannot even begin to tell you how happy these sweeties make me, and if you would like to snuggle a cute puppy too then head to Rally To Rescue and visit that PSYCHO:Byts stand where you will find 5 different colors of Young Pitbulls. On the left I am holding Young Pitbull 1 in brindle, on the right is Young Pitbull 2 in white. Each puppy includes these hold versions plus a static sitting pup as decor, so 3 pups in the color of your choice (besides the ones I am showing, there is fawn, black, and battle gray) for $200L or get the entire fatpack for $800L. The ones I am holding are animated, so they were wiggling around a bit as we were posing so I was basically squeeing like a madwoman while taking this photo. I never want to put them down :) Remember, the full price is a donation to animal rescues in need, so you are doing a good deed as well as adding cuteness to your second life. The link here is their main store, the event location is in the credits at the end.
I have a houseguest this weekend (until Monday night actually) so my blog posts may be smaller or less frequent this weekend. I will still be checking in to SL and possibly attempting to start the Twisted Hunt, only time will tell. Meanwhile I hope you all have an amazing weekend, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is not about the endearing movie Hocus Pocus (which I'll be watching again in a few hours) but rather an SL event also named Hocus Pocus. You can claim lots of free gifts by visiting each store and saying "hocus pocus" in local chat (all lower case) near the sign and magic bottle that reminds me of a glass candle in a jar. You have at least a 30% chance of winning and can try once every 24 hours, until November 4th. If you get impatient you can always by the prize for $50L instead. You can get a HUD for free on the Marketplace or by clicking the signs to help you TP quicker from place to place, and it shows a preview of the prize for each store right in your viewer screen, but the HUD isn't required to claim them. I find it very handy though :) There are still quite a few prizes I haven't won yet, but I wanted to show you some of them tonight before it gets too late to claim any of them.
This look features a few different prizes, let's start with the clothing...this romper is from Bodhi and comes in several mesh sizes: Small, Medium, Maitreya, Freya, Isis, Venus, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. The terrific shoes are from Dilly Dolls and are called Glinna, they come with a HUD that adjusts the fit for Maitreya or Slink Mid, and offers 4 color options along with the choice of having the strap black or the same color as the stripes. On the right above, I changed the purple in the middle to Black Strap but left it matching the other colors. If you are admiring my hair, the good news is that it is also a Hocus Pocus prize, this one from Love and called [Blush]. It is a very generous gift too, including a full fat pack of color HUDs (blondes, brunettes, candies, gingers, greyscale, mystics, oddities, ombres, pastels) plus an exclusive Hallow HUD.
This is the same romper and same hair (this color choice is from the Hallow HUD) but here I have added a new buddy whose acquaintance I am very pleased to make! This is the prize from PSYCHO:Byts called Familiar Cat - Poison. He does have a vial around his neck that seems to be glowing ominously, and he is animated so he was a bit wiggly while I was posing for our photo. He looks like a moss-tinted Siamese or Snowshoe, one of those colorpoint breeds that are so elegant looking.
Another hair color change, and another outfit...this lingerie is our prize from Goth1c0 called Vampy Lingerie. It is included in system layers along with HUDs for Lolas, Omega, Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink. So detailed with those delicate closures in the front and the lacing in the back! I imagine it would take considerable magic to get them all closed, or to open them carefully in a hurry. I accessorized with our gift from Indulge Temptation, their !IT! Deadly Necklace which comes with a handy HUD offering 10 metal choices and 16 colors for each the bow and the gem (coffin) so there are countless possibilities of combinations to suit any mood or outfit.
I have so many gorgeous nails to show you, starting with this amazing gift from Hello Dave. Their prize is this Hocus Pocus HUD for Slink and Omega, with 35 varieties (5 versions each of 7 styles/colors) so I'm showing a very random sampling here. I think I'm partial to the marbled purple and the stormy night looking deeper purple, but it all depends on what you're wearing and what colors you favor.
Another wonderful gift is this Stitched Slink HUD from Bella Elephante, which offers 10 designs with that Nightmare before Christmas vibe. Look like Sally, or enjoy these year round as I intend to.
One final look of the night, this is the prize from DP Koffin Nails called Witch's Brew fatpack. You will receive HUDs for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, each with 5 choices with different potion colors and background colors for the steam wafting from the cauldrons at the tips. All it takes is a bit of luck and lots of magic.
I am still having crashing issues in SL and even crashed when I was trying to take the first photo here...the best thing for me to do is try to reduce my inventory some more and try to be patient, easier said than done. I am still here, just a bit frustrated and slower than usual. At least I was able to login today, unlike Saturday morning. I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend, Happy Halloween if you celebrate, and magical magpie hugs to all of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am pleased to share some more Trick or Treat gifts from the Candy Fair 2016, along with one of the gorgeous swimsuits for sale from alaskametro<3 at the very same location. I am fortunate enough to be part of her blogging team and honored to show you one of the many exciting sales items as well as some fun gifts.
My first look features the "Melted" swimsuit from alaskametro<3 in Candyfloss, one of several options, which is on sale for $64L at the Candy Fair, down 15% from its usual price of $75L. The suit includes system layers along with appliers for Slink, Maitreya, Omega, and even an Omega with materials so you can play with those settings :) There are 5 other flavors colors to choose from, and some very pretty leggings with candy prints too. The gacha is nails, a definite weakness of mine, and they look delicious too! You may have noticed the horns I am wearing in this photo, well they are a trick or treat gift from the fair as well, from Ayashi. They're called Lisara horns and include resize and rigged versions, and a handy HUD to change the color to anything you like.
What's that, you say I've got something on my face? Sorry, I just got so hungry talking about all this food! I am digging into the candy from this gift bowl with built in pose from HopScotch, which is called Yummmm. The lips are the gift from {PSYCHO:Byts} and are called Mouth Melting, in the main photo I am wearing pink and in the inset you can see the purple. Also included are black, cream, and red, and these come in system layers as well as appliers for Omega, Catwa, and Slink.
It's time for some nail gifties, yay! This is the Sugar Dip Candy Corn Mani&Pedi from #adored, whose HUD offers Maitreya and Omega compatibility. They really do make my nails look like candy corns coated in glittery sugar, but I am not a nail biter so they are safe from my hungry avi ;)
Another indulgent nail treat can be found at the Bella Elephante display, just click that candy bowl and you will receive their Sprinkles Slink Nails HUD with 10 delicious shades with sprinkles and dipped in chocolate. They have such terrific details.
LIVIA is also offering a mouthwatering gift for your nails at the fair, their Candy Cocoa Nails with 4 designs on a handy HUD for Slink, Maitreya, and Omega. The rich chocolate decorations look amazing on the pale pink (strawberry?) background.
Speaking of chocolate, one last peek of the evening is at my eyes which are the gift from (*ANGELICA) called CHOCO EYES #light. These beauties also come in #dark and as system layer and mesh versions for each shade.
It was a busy day that went from tedious to fun then back to tedious, hehe, but I am grateful as always to be here enjoying some time online. I hope the day has been good to all of you, sending magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
