Trick or Treat Lane

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some treats to show you, quite literally, thanks to the Trick or Treat Lane event. This is the 5th round of the annual tradition, and every participating designer is offering an exclusive sales item as well as a trick or treat gift. Some are treats and located in the bag out front of their display, others are tricks where the bag is hidden somewhere within their booth. It was great fun to visit, and I am always impressed by the way the region is decorated for the spooky season. Many designers have other offers, some of which are discounted for the duration of the event, which is open until November 1st so you have ample time to explore and visit as many times as you wish.


My first look of the evening is the striking gift from Senzafine called Evanora - ToTL Haunted. It comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. The blending of blue into purple then black is perfect for the night sky, and the bats are a lovely seasonal touch. The high-low hem and flared sleeves also serve to flatter our curves. 


1313 Mockingbird Lane is ready for Halloween with their Burtonesque Jacket/Skirt, a gorgeous combo in black and white with golden trim. Each piece is rigged to fit the Maitreya body, and can be worn together or separately as you will see in the next couple of photos. There is also a HUD included to show/hide the panties that are built into the skirt. I decided the neckline deserved to frame more than just cleavage, LOL, so I added the charming Arachnes Necklace w/Resize gift from Oubliette. It has a family of gemstone spiders crawling around the silvery web, and you can just give it a click if you wish to access the resize scripting.


I kept the 1313 skirt on here but switched tops to the gift from JR Wolf Creations. Their Hallows T Shirt is decorated in several different occult symbols, all in a silvery tone that looks terrific against the black backdrop of the shirt. It is provided in sizing for Alice, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. To add a touch of color, I went with the treat from CELESTE which is their Spiked Hoop Earrings, although I did it a little differently than one might expect ;) The gift includes a purple pair and a green pair, so I wore one of each to allow you to see both pretty hues. 


The 1313 skirt got a little more use, as I wore it again here with the zOOm - Hunted Sweater. Their gift includes Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with cropped hem and extra long sleeves to balance against the cowl neck. The contrasting textures coordinate quite nicely, and do have a seasonal feel that I appreciate. I also am appreciating the tasty treat from Petrichor, their :[P]:- Geobeat Cookie [Halloweenies] seen in my left hand. It has a built in hold pose as shown, and the lines of icing remind me of wireframe. The heart shape looks so pretty with the ombre of orange to purple icing, on a dark chocolate cookie.


For my final look tonight I started with the gorgeous gift from Viki called Faith. It features one of my favorite color combinations, purple and black, and has a rich, beautifully embroidered texture. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing to fit a wide range of bodies. With the bare shoulders and low neckline, I decided it deserved to show off the equally pretty CHIMAERA - Valentine collar - Rainbow Noir. So many dazzling colors in the heart pendant, I think you will find it goes well with nearly anything you wear it with. I was also intrigued by the gift from Secret Oktober, which is the *SO* Skulls n' Roses Mask I am wearing. It has a resize script built in, so you can adjust it to fit your face just right. I also couldn't resist sharing a closer view of the nails I have been enjoying in all of these images, the treat from DP Koffin Nails called FatPack - Pentacle Moon. There are 6 designs, 3 colors each with a mirrored version, and the fatpack means you get Maitreya, Omega, and Slink appliers. Each has fingers and toes compatibility, so you could apply one design to your fingers and a different choice for your feet. 

Not much to share about my day, as it was fairly quiet other than an update on my grandmother. She was admitted for observation and should be released tomorrow, and it sounds like she is doing pretty well. She had high blood pressure before, and anything heart related is going to be a concern for a stroke survivor I guess, but things sound like they are under control. My guess is that a medication needed to be added or adjusted, and all the testing will point them in the proper direction. She is impressively tough, as we have always known :) I do hope you are all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Trick or Treat Lane

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some gifts from the Trick or Treat Lane event, where not only will you find offers for 31% off, you will find exclusive items for sale and a gift from each designer. No group needed, just buy the little bags outside each display for $0L. This delightful annual event opened today, and lasts until November 2nd so you have a bit of time to visit and enjoy. It was certainly crowded on its opening day, of course SL is generally busy on the weekends anyway so that isn't a surprise. Whenever you go, you will get a sneak peek here and now of some of the many generous gifts that await you.


My first look is the .:cheeky:. Drivana - broken Dress! Black, which comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya. From the looks of that blood splatter, I'm guessing that the dress isn't the only thing that's broken ;) It was like that when I got it, honest! The dress does have several little rips and tears scattered about, which certainly adds interest.


We can see two gifts here, starting with my flirty swimsuit from Secret October called *SO* Pumpkin Swimsuit. It comes in a Maitreya size and has a laced up front with a modest rear view. If you're a Hocus Pocus fan, you'll recognize my necklace, the gift from The Little Bat called !TLB Winifred's Necklace. I could instantly hear her calling "boooooook!" in my head as soon as I saw it. There is a handy resize feature built in, just give it a gentle click.


This dress is our gift from {Get Frocked} called Trick or Treat Dress, and it just might drive you batty with that Halloween feeling ;) It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, all featuring a studded collar and a colony of bats on the bodice. (I confess, I had to look up the correct name for a group of bats, was initially going to call it a flock but had a feeling that was wrong.) The long sleeves are great for autumn, and the short skirt with daring slit add sex appeal.


[Witchcraft] is offering not just one but two colors of their Ava Halloween Dress as their free gift for all visitors. The orange and the lime are each provided in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The silhouettes of spiders, lace, and a spooky graveyard are fantastic for the season.


My final look of the night is a closer view of my lipsticks tonight, which are our gift from alaskametro<3 called "Kiss of Death" lipstick - FATPACK. There are 6 colors to suit any skin tone or outfit, each provided as appliers for Catwa, Lelutka, and Omega along with the system layers shaped for Catwa, Lelutka, or classic. Those are also called "bakes on mesh" layers, since that should be available within SL soon and we will have the ability to wear those system layers on mesh heads/bodies. Meanwhile I hope you noticed that the lower lip of this style has a few ghoulish additions...close up we can see that there are little skulls watching us!

It was a tiring but fun day, although it felt like everyone and everything was running behind schedule. I contributed to that by chatting longer than expected with a couple of people at the farmers market, but I wasn't the only one who did that. It was fun talking to such friendly people, so it is worth being a little bit tired now. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
