Paparazzi Goodies

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post will have you looking for cameras, which appear on the Paparazzi group sign which is nearby each of the gifts I'm sharing. This is a wonderful multi-designer group, currently free to join, and brings together lots of brands with notices about their new releases, special sales, and more. They can also offer a gift for the group if they wish, and that's what you will be seeing in this post :) You might want to take pictures too, just not skulking in the bushes like the RL paps ;) I do have a Lady Gaga earworm as a result of course, but just about every song I think about gets stuck in my head eventually so that will change many times before I wrap things up.

First up, we see the lovely Ozana Set by BlackbirdLace. This gift includes the top and skirt, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The monochromatic print of the top has an elegant feeling with edgy twist, and the belted skirt is a breezy choice for any time of year.

Fatal Fashion has a fun and casual treat for us called ::FF:: Top & Pants Melliny. The knotted t-shirt says SEXY on the front in graffiti style lettering, and the jeans have a snug fit with lots of bright golden zipper detailing. These pieces will both fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. I think the warm color of the shirt feels autumnal, and I always look for new casual sets to wear when the weather cools off. 

This flirtatious look is our DM ~ Alissia Set Gift from DM Design. The top and panties are separates in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Classic, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I do appreciate the fun animal print for a wild weekend, and the sheer striped ruffles are a wonderful touch!

Next I've changed into the eye-catching {Le'La} Leo Bodysuit Set Gift. That sapphire blue color is gorgeous, isn't it? The bodysuit and garters are each provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizes. I love the silver chains attached and draping in the front and both sides. Please remember that I'm wearing nipple covers, so the sheer sections of the bust might be a bit more revealing than my image might show. 

For my final look of the night I've added a stunning gift from LUMINESSE jewelry. Their LUM-Abundant Love Aqua Pendant reminds me of peacock feathers somehow (and yes, that is a good thing) with amethysts dotting the aqua hearts so beautifully. The necklace is adjustable and has a resize script built in, so just give it a click to change the size and right click - edit to move the positioning. I nudged it down and rotated it a little but kept the size the same for this photo, and I think it suits my shape well :) There are so many styles of shirt or dress that we can wear this necklace with, I'm excited to add it to my virtual jewelry box.

Yesterday was a busy but decent day, and my appointment went smoothly so all is well. The extra stops after were annoying but necessary, which is a huge part of adulting lately anyway ;) I could really tell how bad my vision is getting from the cataracts while in the car (as a passenger only) yesterday and today, so I really do need to get all that moving along. I hope you all have a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Paparazzi Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're taking a tour of several stores, all of which have a group gift for the Paparazzi group which is currently free to join. That means that these goodies won't cost you a thing, so it is absolutely worth the effort of teleporting a few times :) I'm always interested to see which stores are a part of each of these multi-designer groups, and the variety for posts featuring them makes me quite happy. 

My first beautiful look is the ART & FASHION - NOTTE BLU LONG DRESS group gift for Paparazzi. The gorgeous color caught my eye first, and of course the sheen of the material is a show stopper :) Maybe you noticed the style first, a halter with black choker built in and daring opening on the left leg. The dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. 

Another fantastic gift I found was at Delicatt Couture, where their June gift for this group is the Hellen Outfit. There are Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Slink Hourglass, and Hourglass Petite sizes each for the top and skirt, with a fun HUD that lets us choose from 14 textures apiece. Most of the tops' options are prints like the two above, and all the skirt choices are solid colors that go perfectly with the various prints and solids for the top. The lace trim on both pieces helps bring the look together in my opinion, and I really appreciate the variety.

I had to get creative with my posing to show you the S-Heliya dress purple dark gift from Suna Designs, as the top is flirty sheer lace :) If you have pasties that match your skin tone, I'd recommend wearing them beneath for modesty if you wish. I love that it's in one of my favorite colors, and the side slit of the skirt grabbed my attention right away too. This gift includes sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Pushup Nerido, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy, and Mounds mesh bodies.

Summer is certainly here, so .:: Cremosas Store ::. 158 - Swimsuit Color 4 group gift is ready to help you head to the beach or a private pool in style. The deep green hue is so earthy and nature themed, like a wild jungle or ocean depths. The back is a thong style so it might be fun to layer a skirt or sarong over it :) There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes provided. Please note, to claim this you'll just have to look for the Paparazzi sign/logo (black, camera image) and click it; there is no picture of the gift itself, so these treats are very pleasant surprises.

I'm wrapping up the post with our .:AMUI:. "Joy" Dress - 01 gift, which is one of many they are offering for various groups. The single long sleeve is black fishnet to match the waistband, and the main fabric gives romantic Goth vibes with the red roses on golden stems that are studded with thorns. It is designed to fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies.

It's been a weird day, starting with the heat advisory that made us cancel dinner at my parents' to avoid being outside at all in those high temps. Then tonight I managed to trip and stub the heck out of a couple toes on my right foot, so going to the farmers market in the morning is questionable. It depends on if I can walk yet or squeeze the swollen toes into sneakers I guess. I missed last week so I really don't want to have to stay home again! Otherwise my only set plans are therapy on Sunday, and spending time enjoying the Hello Kitty game's update with new characters and quests. I hope you've all got a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Paparazzi Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is welcoming a new year with some gifts for the Paparazzi group, currently free to join. That means all these generous gifts are ours at no cost whatsoever, and they've got a terrific amount of participating brands that we can explore. The group notices are loaded with information about sales, new releases, and plenty of helpful updates for us. I hope you all find something new to freshen up your wardrobe for 2026!

My first look comes from [WellMade] and is their Marwenna Top & Vest pairing. Each piece is provided in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Slink Hourglass sizes, as well as a HUD with 2 textures for each. The vest can be deep brown or black, and our tank top has two animal prints to pick from, as you can see above :) Of course we can wear the top without the vest for even more versatility, and we can pair these with any pants, leggings, or skirts we already love. 

I also picked up the Petry Model--> Outfit UOLN gift, which is a flirty skirt set whose tank top has a pattern of tiny bunnies in crowns with the word Princess scattered about. It's got corset boning and a sheer midriff, looking great with the short pleated skirt :) Claim this gift and you'll receive sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. This is the type of look that works for any time of year, and I'm glad I figured out that this store relocated their group gifts upstairs because I was a little bit lost at first ;)

Wow, our Brunsen! Tara Sexy Dress [1] gift is a sparkly stunner! The holographic texture made me think of champagne, and fancy nail polish, so that's two things I associate with this time of year :) Anyone else out there pay more attention to their RL nails for the holidays? This gorgeous strapless minidress is provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There are other gifts for similar multi-designer groups also, well worth peeking at.

This playfully casual look is the Paparazzi gift from MONOMANIA called Authenticity. It includes the hoodie and shorts in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies each, and our combat boots fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. Pairing shorts beneath a hoodie brings me back to evenings at the beach when it got a little chilly, and the boots have the letters LV in pink above a heart that has a classic tattoo style. Intriguing imagery if I do say so myself :)

My final look this evening is from a favorite place of mine for multi-designer group gifts and generally for creating complete outfits to wear all at once, Composer Girls Fashion. This is their !CGF-*Zoeie* Complete Skirt Outfit, which has a really fun style for any time of year. The tube top comes in 5 standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, then the jacket has classic S, M, and L sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The skirt fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, and the matching boots come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. I have every intention of enjoying the top and skirt with simple sandals and no jacket in hot weather, and maybe swapping the skirt for a pair of jeans to head somewhere snowy.

It's been a strange start to the new year, but I am not going to take it as an omen or anything. There was a mouse in one of the traps downstairs, now happily relocated to the nearby park, and the housemate almost addressed the issue of my saggy windows in this room. That top window pane wouldn't budge though, and I'm not 6'5" like he is with the arm reach of a basketball player ;) So I can't fix it either. Eventually it'll happen, but until then I'm lucky to get it over 68 degrees in here even with the little heater on full blast. I mentioned to a friend when it was 66.6 degrees in here, LOL, and she was like "you must keep it way cooler than I do, my heat is always set for 72" and I had to giggle and explain it's not by choice. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Le'La Group Variety

 Hiya everyone! Tonight instead of picking one multi-designer group and sharing gifts from several different stores, I did the reverse and chose one generous store - Le'La - and am sharing a handful of their gifts for various groups. All of the featured groups are currently free to join, which may make you extra grateful for those additional group slots SL recently implemented :) To be fair, I am excited about those group slots anyway, lol, but I'm also a huge fan of Le'La and their style. Quick reminder that the group gifts are so prolific that they have their own building, so from the fixed landing spot please go out the front door and follow the path of little fairy lights on the floor...it is towards the right. I will be doing my usual one group/several stores and gifts to visit soon too :)

My first look of the evening is the {Le'La} Avannny Set Gift, which is for the Inventory Trends group. It is such a fun outfit, comprised of the top, sleeves, and ruffled skirt that are all provided in sizing for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. Since the sleeves are separate, you can wear just the top and skirt without them if you prefer. I love the color, and the shiny texture! 

You know when you see this type of pose, I'm trying to cover my nipples ;) The {Le'La} Kajsa Body Gift for the SLFO group is a lacy bodysuit with great seams and boning, and comes in Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The beautiful blue shade reminds me of a clear sky, truly lovely.

Next I slipped into the beautiful {Le'La} Grace Dress Gift which can be yours for free with the Suna Designs group tag. If you are a fan of lace like I am, I think you'll really appreciate the layered embroidered look here :) There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, along with a HUD that has 4 color options on it. Three are fairly neutral shades of beige or off-white, with the other being the charming pale lavender you see on the right. 

The Paparazzi group gift is this playful {Le'La} Gertrudes Top & Jacket Gift. Our cardigan and tank top each come in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizing. The cardigan is slipped down our right shoulder just a bit, such a sassy little touch :) We can pair this set with just about any bottoms that tickle our fancy, from pants to jeans to skirts of any length or style...I went with the white pair of Delizio jeans whose fatpack gift you can find on the marketplace, just to highlight the solid white top layered beneath the black and white print jacket. 

For my final look of the evening, please join the Maitreya Shoppers group or activate the tag if you're already a member, so you can click and claim {Le'La} Daisy Outfit :) The geometric lace at the waist and hem certainly caught my attention, with shiny fabric on both dress and boots. These pieces are each provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, as well as a HUD that offers 6 color options for each. There is something so sexy about stiletto heels that lace all the way up to mid-thigh on the sides, don't ya think? Mixing and matching is always a pleasure too.

My day was a bit frustrating, since the downed power line is still draped across the driveway so we are still trapped in the house. I should have been doing outings this week in the car, but we're at the mercy of the power company who came out Monday and installed a temp transformer but left wires and a broken pole 😒. Time to come back and finish the job, people! The mail can't be delivered because of the tree in the circle, so we are wondering when the township can and will step in and make cleanup happen. You can tell I'll have lots to talk about in therapy tomorrow, lol, but I need to focus on how my anxiety has responded to legit stress. I'd say the immediate response was rough, but now it is leveling out a little. We talk a lot about the odds of something bad happening being very minimal, and yet this hunk of dead tree beat the odds and beat up my house. I am shaking my head and wryly chuckling because it is better than crying or hollering. Xan has been very good about helping me keep my head up, we take our roles as each other's emotional support humans very seriously :) I hope you're all having a decent 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!!

Paparazzi Presents

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post wraps up the weekend with some variety, thanks to the Paparazzi group and their participating designers. I visited one coincidentally and their treat for the Paparazzi group inspired the post :) So the group is currently free to join, as most of these multi-designer groups are either free or have a small fee to keep troublemakers out, and the best way to spot the gifts in each store is to look for the Paparazzi logo which is black with a blue camera on it. Many of these stores hold gifts for multiple groups, so you may be able to pick up other gifts while you visit if you're already in the groups or have some spare group slots. Be sure to thank the designers by doing some shopping while you're there if you are so inclined :)

My first look of the evening is the **FLORENCE KEITH MILITARY STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT** which is our gift from V8 Underground. They have plenty of goodies for other groups too, as always :) The top, pants, and boots are all provided in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The layered tank top says "Lady Boss" in lovely script on the front, and the pants have kneepads built in with a lipstick lip print on the left knee. There is something so empowering about wearing combat boots, like it makes me feel strong and confident.

I also visited Composer Girls Fashion where I gratefully claimed their !CGF-*Shelby* Skirt Outfit W/Hud gift. The top and skirt are actually linked together so worn as one piece, in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. There are black crotch panties in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and the warrior armbands fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, upper left arm. We also receive a HUD with 6 color options for the outfit, and a separate package inside with our shoes called Lug Heels. This box contains Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes each in black, blue, dark blue, forest, teal, and light brown colors. That is quite a lot to squeeze into one gift!

PiNK CHERRY has a wonderful gift for us that actually has something in common with the prior gift. It's called .::PC::. "Linda" Outfit - Black/Red, and one thing I noticed in common is the fact that the top and skirt are linked into one easy-to-wear piece. The leathery texture is beautifully shaded, and there are 2 versions each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes. They are labeled G and S for gold and silver, referring to the metal on the belt which is also an attached feature. The dark colors also reminded me of the last gift I'd shared, both so suitable for autumn which is almost here :)

The gift from Mu-Shi Doll is their MD Laced Back Dress "Audrey" - Midnight GG, which is an exceptionally flirty choice for a super hot date. This sleeveless dress is laced up in the back with a wide opening to show off bum cleavage and more, with silvery ribbon that does remind me of midnight when combined with the deep blue hue of the dress. We receive sizing for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Just a side note- Mu-Shi Doll and PiNK CHERRY are in the same shopping center, so you can just walk out the door of one and over to the other without teleporting :)

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was okay, still dealing with lingering stomach issues but things are a bit better. Therapy was a lot of discussing my worrying about my upcoming dentist visit, and what coping skills I can use to get through the anxiety. It is a matter of assessing my thoughts to see if they are based on facts or feelings, and how likely they are to be true and accurate reflections of how I am at that moment. Otherwise I am excited to see what new rounds of events and hunts are starting in SL for September. I already found out about one just a few minutes ago, a FabFree hunt :) I hope you're all having a great day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Paparazzi Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we get to be paparazzi, except we'll be dressed like the stars that the paparazzi like to photograph :) Thanks to the many designers of the Paparazzi Group, which is currently free to join, we can claim free gifts as well as learn about their new releases and sales from the group's notices. As you know, I really do enjoy the multi-designer groups like this, and spreading the word when I show you some of the many rewards we can receive.

My first look of the evening cam be found at ANDARE and is their Elfrieda Outfit PACK gift. The top, skirt, and pants (panties) are all provided in 5 fitmesh standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. We also receive a HUD with 5 colors for each, allowing us to mix and match however we wish. The top and skirt are sheer lace, so having a little something to wear beneath is a nice touch too :) 

I also visited MOoH!, whose Dolly dress is our current Paparazzi group gift. This peasant style dress has bare shoulders and lots of soft gathers, trimmed in lace for an extra soft feeling. There are also panties included, and both fit Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. As you can tell, there's also a handy HUD, which offers 12 patterns for the dress and 8 solid colors for the panties. With a brand name like MOoH!, of course I had to show the cow print, right? I also chose a bold floral print because those are always a favorite of mine.

You can get more than just paparazzi's attention in our Ozana Set by BlackbirdLace gift! This beauty consists of perfectly coordinated top and skirt to fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The belt is built into the skirt, and the halter top is designed to bare most of our back so we can show off tattoos easily too. Just a random thought :)

Just across the shopping area from BlackbirdLace is their sister store, Black Angel, offering their MONA DRESS by BA Store as our generous gift. We've got a gorgeous plunging neckline here, and showstopping sequined texture in racy red, just the thing to reflect camera flashes ;) The gift includes Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes.

My last look shows that we don't always have to dress up to catch the eye (or camera lens) of our adoring fans :) [>Ma'De<] Felicia is a sweet casual pairing of cropped cardigan sweater held closed by a single button, and high waisted jeans shorts that are cuffed just so. They both fit Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I love the salmon color of the top, and of course I'm always drawn to denim in any form. The back pockets are really nicely textured, don't you think?

It was a chaotic day, as I had to get off my booty and find a new doctor since my current (former?) one still refuses to respond to me about my medications or anything else I need. So I called an office where I used to see one of the 6 doctors (didn't like her, she called me a big baby when I tried to explain my anxiety) to see if one of the others who'd been rated very highly online was taking new patients. He is but has a waitlist of several months, so the receptionist kindly checked to see who did have openings soon and I wound up with an appointment early Wednesday morning. Anxiety brain is in full effect, wheee! I have to get there 15 minutes early to fill out a mindboggling amount of forms, and I will be medicated to try to lessen the extreme anxiety that is already swirling through my soul. It will be a relief once I get through it though. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Paparazzi Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is packed with group gifts for the Paparazzi Fashion group, which is free to join and has lots of wonderful designers who participate. They keep us informed via group notices about sales and new releases and the like, and most of them have a gift for anyone visiting their mainstore while wearing the Paparazzi group tag. Every now and then I just get in the mood to visit as many stores as I can find who are part of the group and check for treats, to provide a variety of styles and places for you to also visit. It makes me happy to share with all of you :) I also had some adventures with using Legacy's body deformers to make a couple things fit that were not in a specific Legacy size, so that was a successful adventure. 

For my first look of the evening, I visited V8 Underground where in their group gifts area I found this **JESSICA MENTELPI COPPER ROCKER STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT** for the Paparazzi group. They have tons for all sorts of multi-designer groups, and I've always appreciated their generosity :) Jessica here includes the top, shorts, and boots all in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The color looks great in that texture, which looks like a rich suede or leather. 

Another store I love visiting because of their complete outfits is Composer Girls Fashion, where I've done quite a bit of retail therapy shopping over the years ;) Their !CGF-*Catalina B&W* Legging Outfit is a lovely combo of tank top, open cardigan, and leggings in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, with shoes that fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High feet. (Notice the shoes are not Legacy sized, so I added the foot deformers from the Legacy body folder and wore the Maitreya size, *chef's kiss*) The loving hearts necklace and long tear drop earrings are also provided, and are unrigged for easy adjustments. 

Another beautiful gift I found is this [Enchantress] Sherie DRESS Gift Paparazzi, a one shouldered slip dress in black and purple. It comes in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. You might notice I didn't mention Legacy, well this became experiment #2 of the day with those deformers I'd mentioned ;) Upper and lower body deformers made my body shaped to fit the Maitreya sized dress quite well as you can see. I must admit I am not a fan of calling them 'deformers', as it just feels so off-putting to me...I think I'd prefer reshaper since a resizer is already a thing, and not a name that sounds like we are adding a third arm or something to deform our body. I think it worked out and doesn't look drastically different.

Next I headed over to [ConTrato], where the flirty Keira Dress was calling my name, or at least my group tag's name. The halter style dress fits eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Kups A, Kups B, Legacy, Perky, Love Momma, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. There is also a HUD as you can tell, with 20 beautiful shades to choose from.

My final look of the evening also has a halter style dress in a fun coincidence :) The Lara AC Dress KIKI GIFT Lilac can be found by using the teleport sign at the front door to go to the group gifts area, then look for the Paparazzi sign among the many signs and gifts up there. Kiki is provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizing. I really like the color, and the way the straps cross in both the front and back! The neckline really frames the cleavage in a flattering way, don't ya think?

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

Gifts for Paparazzi

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was in the mood for variety, so I explored some stores who are part of the Paparazzi group. This multi-designer group allows various stores to post notices to help us find out about sales, new releases and the like, while offering a free gift for group members at their home locations. So as you can imagine, it was a fair amount of teleporting and checking out both new and familiar stores :) The Paparazzi group is free to join, and if you're like me, it can come with a bonus Lady Gaga earworm, LOL! The worst part of that is I don't even know all the words so I just tp'ed around the grid humming the tune, good thing anyone already visiting the stores didn't have to hear me. They were already busy shopping and picking up demos I'm sure, so even if I were on voice (I was not, and do not use SL to voice chat) they might not have noticed :) These are really nice stores, plenty of tempting offers for you to enjoy.

My first stop was {Chaotic} where their Penelope dress is the current Paparazzi gift. This flirty floral treat has a built in pair of panties, helpful since the back of the skirt has a peekaboo opening :) We receive sizes for Erika, Erika Squeezed, Kupra, Kupra Squeezed, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Pushup, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The daisies can bring a touch of spring to a long winter, and the style brings the heat!

I also visited La Feminique in their new location, and while admiring the remodel I went into the gift room to find this Tropicana Gift for the Paparazzi group. I definitely appreciate the warm vibes that whisper "vacation" to me, and that hot pink color will always catch my attention :) The top and skirt are separates that each fit eBody Reborn, Mounds, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. There are gifts for other groups too, and their store group isn't currently free but there are lucky boards and midnight manias for their members in the same room.

Next I found some florals for you, at a store called FOR YOU :) This is their ::F:: SABRINA DRESS FATPACK gift for the group, with pretty ruffled neckline, bare shoulders, and shapely seams. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with two HUDs - 22 patterns and 42 solids. That makes for one versatile and generous gift, don't you think?

If you are still celebrating the new year or just going for a party vibe, be sure to visit [DIESELdeluxe] with that Paparazzi group tag active to claim their Gaby Short Dress Gold. It is one of many gifts available for various groups, so I do suggest peeking at the other signs and seeing which others you can pick up while you're here :) Gaby here is a gorgeous burnished gold color, with a texture that made me think of a disco ball with mirrored squares. The gift includes Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizes. That's quite an impressive range! That super short hem is going to need a pair of panties beneath, depending on where you plan on going of course.

My final look of the evening is courtesy of Composer Girls Fashion. It's their !CGF-*Blade* Jeans Outfit and it is an edgy, dare I say badass look. The shirt, jeans, and belly chain are provided to fit Alice, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. We also receive the boots in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink mid sizing, along with the sun moon & stars necklace and garter & dagger that each have resizer scripting on touch. The lacy garter is tied with dark purple ribbon and bow, and if the idea of the dagger bothers you, the outfit looks just as great without that piece added. The blade isn't visible, so I'm not sure how that would affect wearing it to a place that is designated "no weapons" which means I'd check the venue's rules first. Not being scripted as weaponry might help. 

Whew, this week feels sluggish but at least we're cruising on towards the weekend soon :) I have dinner with my parents' tomorrow, no burnt pizza allowed this time LOL, and I have no idea yet what the rest of my Friday or Saturday will hold. I hope you're all having a groovy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
