More Rogue Echo Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I will be sharing more of the Trick or Treat gifts from Rogue Echo, all located in tombstones upstairs in their store. No group needed, no hunting, just give each one a click (they are lined up against a railing, very easy to see) and it will dispense the gift it holds for free. No tricks but lots of treats, and once you see the high quality of these gifts you just might be tempted to treat yourself to some shopping ;) I am impressed with their texturing, as I think I mentioned yesterday, so I am swiftly becoming a big fan of their work.

First we have the {RE} G Spooky Dress, a sleeveless mini with a playful pattern of ghosts, pumpkins, bats and more, with black leather harness built in. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, as all of tonight's dresses do. The more I stare at the texture, the more new things I notice to make me smile!

This style probably looks familiar from yesterday's post, but in a much different color and pattern :) It is their {RE} G Samantha Dress, and has a daring wedge cut out that is certain to turn heads wherever you wear this. The bats really stand out against the lavender background, as do the various moons and stars. 

Another style you may recognize from the last post appears here too, not just once but twice as there were 3 delightful versions of this dress. On the left is their {RE} G Dark Lady Dress, and the beauty on the right is called {RE} G Vamp Dress. The main difference is the bat on the sheer section of upper bodice, and yesterday's Dark Rose Dress had the same color scheme but with a rosebud attached to the collar like a pendant. I really do appreciate having the trio of variations to suit different moods. 

Your Halloween season just got even more flirty, thanks to this {RE} G Full Moon Dress gift. The familiar orange and black colors look terrific with the fishnet top with just enough of a V to cover the essentials, and a full moon on the front with lots of bats flitting around both front and back. My backyard has woods behind it so I do occasionally spot a bat or two if I go out at night, and I find them to be fascinating creatures.

My final look of the evening is perfect for those of us who love purple. It is called {RE} G Vamparella Dress, and is comparable to the prior photo's gift but with the bat and stars pattern from the second photo of this post. The weather may be cooling down, but this style seems to want to heat things up again ;)

It was an interesting day, and my chiropractor appointment went very well with the added bonus of getting to meet the other doctor's beautiful dog. He is a keeshond, which are very fluffy dogs like a bigger version of a Pomeranian in shades of black and grey. He was great with strangers wanting to pet him (myself included) and just seemed very happy and friendly. My neck is feeling a little better, and that should help the headaches go away. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Trick or Treat with Rogue Echo

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am sharing some Halloween gifts I have stumbled across that will help you prepare for the season and beyond. Rogue Echo has 12 tombstones upstairs in their store that each distribute a different Trick or Treat gift when clicked, no group needed, and since they aren't hidden the hardest part will be deciding which to wear first. This post is a part one, so you know what to expect tomorrow evening :) Let's get started!

This elegant column dress is the {RE} G Dark Rose Dress, one of the dozen gifts awaiting your visit. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and features a split color of black on one side and purple on the right. On the sheer part of the high neckline there is a beautiful purple rose mentioned in the name, and there is a striking bow at the waist that is part of the intricate texturing. 

The holiday season gets even sexier thanks to this next gift, the {RE} G Lil Witchy Dress. Its top is mostly sheer fishnet with material in just the right places, above a cloud of bats flying in front of a full moon. The back has even more bats, or are they secretly vampires who have transformed? The skirt has a fun pattern of bones, witches hats and more, on a deep green field. Like all of tonight's gifts, it is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. 

Since these two are the same style, I decided to show you both versions side by side. On the left I am wearing the {RE} G Dark Tricks Dress, and on the right is {RE} G Sweet Treats Dress. Each has a daring side cutout held in place with slender straps, and I really like both textures. The playful bats are delightful, and the familiar pattern on the right is also wonderful for the Halloween season.

This gift could make a great costume, or be used for roleplaying if you are so inclined. It is called {RE} G Naughty Maid Mini, and comes in the same sizes as all of tonight's dresses (Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique). I was impressed by the texturing, as the pert bow in the back and even the frilly white apron on the front are not add-ons but actually drawn onto the fabric itself. 

For my final look of the night, I chose the dramatic {RE} G Vamparella Dress. It has detached sleeves that are laced at the top, and partly sheer as the dress itself is. Those silver bats look like they were crafted by a master silversmith, don't they? I am ready to party the night away in this sexy look!

I have a quick update on my grandmother, fortunately she was released from the hospital with 2 new prescriptions and is thrilled to be home. I am just relieved that she is doing well and is back where she is comfortable. I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow which is a bit overdue and much needed :) It should be sunny and nice out, so I am looking forward to some fresh air. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Midweek At Home

Hiya everyone! Tonight I decided to feature a few Stay at Home Club gifts, since they are closing their website on the 25th and all the participating stores will have the choice to take the gifts down at that time. The deadline is creeping closer and closer, so it felt like time to switch gears back to them :) I really do admire the organizers as well as every single designer who offered gifts throughout these long months, to lift our spirits through difficult times. It is a compassionate effort and I believe it helped our SL community to focus on the safety of the virtual world we all enjoy so much. My time in SL has always been a haven and often an escape from harsh realities, and even more so lately. These gifts are completely free, no group needed, although some stores use vendors that we have to pay $1L and get refunded so the system keeps track of it for redelivery purposes. 

My first look of the evening is one of two gifts at Cats Claw Designs, their dazzling CCD_Jocie Wrap Dress Black Gold Twirls. This halter style mini comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and even a standard M for classic avatars. The lace trim adds an extra flirt factor, and the golden waves are a beautiful touch.

Cats Claw Designs is also offering this charming _CCD_Ava Corset Mini Dress for all visitors, and it is quite versatile. The dress itself is provided in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique sizes, plus a standard fitted version. The included HUD offers 23 textures for the dress and 6 for the belt, so you can have fun mixing and matching. The extra short flared skirt with asymmetrical hemline can be a bit cheeky from behind, so you could layer leggings or jeans beneath if you wish, especially in the cooler months.

My next stop was Rogue Echo, where I was delighted to find another new gift for a total of 5 generous treats for the Stay at Home Club. This is the {RE} G Lily Wrapped Mini, and it comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The wide sage colored belt holds the dress closed perfectly, and I really like the soft floral pattern.

I also visited Luvdiva Fashion again, where I found a new Stay at Home Gift named Josie. She includes the top and skirt each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, plus the coordinating tied platform heels for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. The pink and white block pattern certainly caught my eye, as pink is a favorite color of mine.

For my final look of the evening, I chose one of the two currently available gifts from +Uni Boutique+, this one being their Spring Dress - Green. It has a beautiful embroidered lace inset in the neckline, and a playful slit on the right thigh. Our gift includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. To claim this gift, you will need to pay $1L which will be automatically refunded while the gift is delivered, so it is ultimately free. 

It was a quiet day here, and I am working on plans for the next few posts with more SAHC gifts as well as prizes from a hunt or two...or three... :) I do stay busy in SL, and it is nearly always a pleasure with the rare exception of technical difficulties. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Home Sweet Home

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am featuring some more Stay at Home Club gifts, with an update on the status of the club. They have announced on their website that they will be closing down the site, in-world group, discord channel, etc. on September 25th which is exactly 6 months after its opening. That is a very long time for the organizers to have kept this going, and I have been so impressed with their kindness in doing so. The fact that they had to deal with harassment makes me sad, but I still appreciate them and everyone who was supportive of their efforts. We have just under 3 weeks remaining then to peruse the bounty of fantastic gifts, and visit the stores to pick up the ones we desire. I will show you more here and there too, with the closing date in mind. Tonight's visits included two stores that were new to me, noteworthy as the introductions to stores I had not experienced yet was a true bonus these past several months. 

My first stop was a familiar one, the wonderful *Lurve* where you can claim their Bunny Hugs Mini as their Stay at Home Club gift. Please pay the vendor $1L, which will be immediately refunded while you receive the gift in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body sizing. Those drawings of the tutu-clad bunny and bear hugging are simply too cute! 

::Multi Design:: also has a flirty treat for us, called Adriana Gift Dress. It has daring cutouts in the front and sides, and is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The HUD offers 40 texture choices broken down to 10 colors each in categories of solid, pattern, lace-1, and velvet, with each having a color for the trim, and a set of 10 lace edging colors for the hem. There are also 3 metals for the rings and buttons in the middle. That is a lot of versatility! 

I have always been intrigued by one piece swimsuits that had openings that made them appear more like two pieces linked together, so this gift from Created by Peacy Design certainly caught my eye. It is called CrissCross Swimsuit Coconut, and includes sizes for Alice, Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. The colors make me think of nature, mainly sand and palm trees.

Next I visited Dressed by Lexi, where I eagerly picked up their ::DBL:: Love Floral Dress gift. The dress comes in a fitmesh size for classic avatars, as well as versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. There are also two pairs of sleeves included, floral sleeves and dot sleeves, although I am wearing one on each side of the image above and could not notice a difference. They do add some movement to the shoulders, and you can easily wear this dress with or without the sleeves depending on your personal preferences. 

For my final look this evening, I visited Rogue Echo again, as I saw on the Stay at Home website that they'd added a new gift since I last stopped by. This is their 4th gift for us, called {RE} Sky Outfit. It wears as one piece with the look of two, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The halter top has a very classy flavor, while the decorated back pockets on the pants lean towards the fun and casual. I am very grateful for all of their gifts.

For a split second I had no idea what day of the week it was anymore (again), if that gives you an idea of how weirdly time is behaving for me lately. My day was not particularly noteworthy, so I am simply looking forward to my time in SL and a little more Twisted hunting :) Because there are side hunts and the prizes are not very easy to find, it will take Xan and me quite a while yet to complete the hunt, and then the end game will drive us both batty. Teamwork makes the dream work though, LOL, and we will get through it all one way or another. Then I will have lots of twisted prizes to show you. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Midweek Variety

Hiya everyone! Tonight I was in the mood for variety, so I started out by visiting a few places to claim some Stay at Home Club gifts. There are so many thoughtful designers who are participating, and I am grateful to all of them for lifting our spirits as times remain uncertain. These gifts do not require a group tag to claim them, and there are several categories on the website so I do suggest exploring it and seeing what else grabs your attention. I was also inspired by the time of year, and wanted to dress like a mermaid, which I was able to do thanks to Entice and their We Love Roleplay offer for this round. Clearly I had some fun with these outfits!

My first stop was Vips Creations, where I happily claimed this flirty [Amanda]1 Dress. It includes sizes for Altamura Sofia, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. There is also a 10 texture HUD so you can change up the look, and some are extra revealing like the sheer one I chose on the right :) I was quite drawn to the style with the high side slits and crossed straps in the neckline, too. 

Next we head over to Rogue Echo, who are currently offering a generous trio of Stay at Home Club gifts, starting with this {RE} Lapus Mini. The bold blue color is accentuated by two triangular cutouts in the front which are filled with sheer sequined fabric, while the back view is completely solid satin. Our gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Signature mesh body sizing. 

Another fantastic gift you will find at Rogue Echo is their {RE} G Zoa Gown, with its snowy white color and flattering shape that leads to a small train. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. 

If you would prefer something casual, allow me to introduce you to this charming {RE} Paisley Outfit which is also a gift from Rogue Echo. It is one piece with the appearance of two (which makes it very easy to wear!) in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The solid purple pants are a fine match for the lively pattern on the top. 

For my final look of the evening, we head to the We Love Roleplay event (open until the 30th of August) where you will find this beautiful Entice - Lady of the Sea set. The top has been crafted from a pair of shells, while the shorts have a scaly texture with a fishnet ruffle on each leg, pun intended? :) The set also includes a headpiece to wear across the forehead, which is mostly hiding beneath my bangs, but it is unrigged and has a resize script built in. There are 8 varieties available individually for $245L apiece (marked down from $350L) or you could choose the fatpack for $599L with 2 bonus colors. In addition to all 10 colors, the fatpack HUD lets you change the color of the components separately, the main texture of the top and the sparkly trim where they join, and the fishnet can be colored separately from the shorts. The navy blue on the right (yep another ocean pun) is one of the two fatpack exclusive colors. Every single one of them is breathtaking!

It has been a slightly better day here, although I do have some more healing to do yet, but I am trying to keep up with my usual activities as much as I can. I still feel like I did not get enough rest, so that is a goal for the next few days. I will be watching a midafternoon hockey game, but perhaps a nice nap afterwards. I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Look Out Weekend

Hiya everyone! Tonight we start our weekend with some terrific prizes from the Womenstuff Hunt, one of the 5 paths of the All 'stuff Hunt that runs throughout the month of June. They each have a different color of t-shirt to find, so the Womenstuff has red shirts with a white pair of heels on the front and the all 'stuff logo on the back this round. Be careful that you follow the hint and find the correct shirt, as some stores still have previous rounds' shirts hiding and you could wind up picking up something you already have. The website has a picture of the shirt, and all the information you need: hints, landmarks, a few stores who dropped out so we need to skip them, and be sure to look for those "exclusive" labeled stops who have designed their prize(s) specifically for this hunt. All the prizes are either free or just a single linden dollar, so you can wind up with an entire new wardrobe at an amazingly low cost!

My first look can be found in the red t-shirt at KingbalStores, their 150 KS OUTFIT IRMA DRESS BLUE. It is a layered look whose single mesh piece encompasses a blouse, vest, and skirt, and comes in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The bow on the blouse draws attention to your lovely smile, while the tight vest buttons beneath the bodice to accentuate other features ;)

I was able to find not just one but two wonderful prizes at Rogue Echo, for $1L apiece, so quite the bargain for these sexy looks. This is their {RE} Lapus Mini, a bright blue strapless dress with sheer sections in the front. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Signature mesh body sizing.

The other prize you can find at Rogue Echo is this equally sexy {RE} Lottie Mini, with both straps brought over to one shoulder and playful cutouts on both hips. It is provided in the same sizes as their other gift, at the same affordable $1L cost. Just find those hidden shirts!

My next look is the free prize from [IDA:C] called RAYNA Dress - RED, with sheer sections on each hip and a low strapless neckline. The color is a perfect choice for the weekend, but certainly not limited to it :) 

For my final look of the evening, I feel beautiful in the free hunt prize from [Vips Creations]. Their [Frances]-Black Lace Dress has a bonus of matching sandals, so you can get dressed easily and head out quickly. The dress comes in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 classic, 5 standard fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink) while the strappy shoes are provided in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High sizing. I love the boat neckline and deep plunging front and back, and the lacy sections add to the beauty.

Quick hair note of the night: Truth Hair has released their new VIP group gift, which is called Poetry, so I couldn't resist immediately wearing it. This French twist style updo has versions with and without wisps, and the stylist tab of the color HUDs lets you tuck the sides behind the ears or leave them loose. The group is not free to join but very well worth it in my opinion, as I have been a member since the beginning because I am a longtime huge fan of their hair. I love their generous fatpack gifts, all the colors you could possibly need and then some :) I sound like a commercial for them, LOL, which is amusing to me because I am not in any way affiliated with them and this is just my personal thoughts as an unbiased customer.

It was another sultry day here, and I had a nice dinner at my parents' house. The food and conversations were all excellent, and they shared some helpful information that I definitely needed. Our new family doctor has left the practice, so we are back to searching for another, but they have a good lead on someone with an exceptional professional reputation. My mom had gone to a new specialist who said he wasn't a "pill pusher", then prescribed 4 different expensive drugs. *eyeroll* Well I am ready for the weekend, a trip to the local farmers market in the morning and then a mostly relaxing Sunday both sound dreamy to me. I hope you all have a safe and beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
