Scooping Up Prizes

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got another pile of prizes to share from the SLS Scoop N Score hunt, for which we are hunting in a maze of sewer pipes for piles of poop. Normally I wouldn't advise digging around in sewers, LOL, but SL Syndicate has made it an enjoyable but challenging experience to find over 200 free goodies. I wouldn't even want to estimate the retail value of what we receive for free here, but at least 5 figures? The list of participating brands and how many poops they're hiding can be found on the SLS website, so you can double check that you don't miss any of your favorites :) My landmark takes you to the sewers, but there's a teleporter there near the landing zone that can bring you up to the surface for the fun shopping event.

My first look combines two fantastic prizes from the same generous brand. The +CHANDRA+ Kimimora Blouse is a lovely satin top with high neck and soft gathering, plus a bit of a watercolor texture happening that I am loving :) It fits Legacy and Reborn mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 7 colors to choose from. Naturally I added our +CHANDRA+ Willow Pants prize, which includes the same two mesh body sizes (Legacy and Reborn) as well as a HUD which has 8 main colors and 4 metals for us. The metal is for the cross adornments on the front and the waist button. They have a flattering snug fit and fall to just above the ankle, which makes me think that they'll work nicely with some styles of boots too. I like to think about as many possibilities as I can :)

I decided to mix things up by pairing the pants with our :::WD::: Jacket Estelle PBR - Leather Brown treat from Web Dew. They have 3 other gifts that are variations of this cozy and versatile jacket, so this was a random impulse selection ;) It comes in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Prima Busty, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD to tint or hide the sweater beneath. The sweater colors are endless since it's a grid you can click anywhere and adjust the color, and we have 6 metals to choose from for our snaps or buttons (sorry can't tell which they are). It's a warm evening here, so the flirty look without the sweater is really appealing.

Dragon Magick Wares hid this wonderful Pump Up The Jam Tee in one of their poops, and it has an animated image on the front that I really got a kick out of :) The bars you see change colors and height, so it was hard to capture in still images but I am hopeful that you get the idea. There are Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes of this playful t-shirt, which I think will look fantastic with jeans or leggings too.

If you like your clothing a little on the spooky side, I'm going to suggest you track down the poop containing The Muses - Bitsy Spider Tunic - Emerald. The spiderweb pattern made me think of Halloween, and I have a couple of RL friends who celebrate year round so I'll bet some of you do the same. We receive sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. It is just long enough to be a dress, yet just short enough to layer some pants beneath as a tunic shirt. It's up to you and the weather I guess :)

My final look of the evening is one of my favorites, because it's giving me some 90s grunge flashbacks. That wasn't even my music genre of choice, but the fashions clearly made an impression :) This is our Luas Alyssa Purple prize, whose dress and jacket (tied loosely around the waist) each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. In case you can't see the white lettering well enough on the upper left and lower right of the dress, it says SLAY which this outfit certainly does.

Whew, it's been a whirlwind yesterday and today here but I am feeling okay :) The podiatrist visit yesterday was quick and not too painful, then a few more stops kept me out longer than usual. Today was gaming-with-friends night, lol, and that was a blast as always :) We are in different states and so we don't have access to all the same stores or restaurants, but we do let each other know if we find something new and exciting somewhere. So many of our chains have closed around here, like Arby's and Cinnabon and now I forget the third one we mentioned. We have lots of nice local shops though, which makes up for it a bit. I've got dinner tomorrow with the fam, and I don't know yet what we're having so that'll be a fun surprise. I hope you're all having a sweet day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Scoop N Score Time

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are making like ninja turtles and exploring the SL Syndicate sewers :) Their 8th annual Scoop N Score sales market and hunt is here, and the hunt is entirely free with no group needed. However, it will take some time and patience, LOL, as you'll be searching for poops in a twisty maze of sewer pipes. Yep, you read that correctly - poops like the famous emoji 💩. 4 versions representing a family of turds with faces and tiny legs :) Some have been named with such clever puns or commentary on where they're hiding, I am guaranteed to laugh my way through it. Xan and I spent about 3 hours on this, and I'm so grateful for his assistance! As for the prizes, there are over 200 so that's a lot to be thankful to the designers for of course. They've put such effort and creativity into this adventure, and I look forward to it each year :) The website had a bit of a technical hiccup but there is a primfeed post with the list of designers and how many prizes they've each hidden, a handy guide to ensure you find them all. This post is definitely a part one, as there are so many wonderful treats to show you.

I randomly chose the beautiful +CHANDRA+ Persephone Dress prize as my first look of the evening. This flirty latex gown comes in sizes for Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD that lets us select from 10 great colors. I always appreciate when a dress or outfit looks as stunning from the front or the back, don't you? That way people can miss you when you go, but enjoy watching you walk away ;)

I do adore Web Dew and their creative styling, so the ::WD:: Set Faye - Jade prize is a must-share. It's got summery, tropical vibes that are perfect for this time of year. We receive the bra, panties, and pareo (skirt) each in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing, along with floral brooches for the chest and each ear, and an unrigged hairpin to match. The main HUD offers 10 colors for the flowers in 5 different sections (or all at once) and when you choose a number it'll make the actual clothing glow brighter where you are tinting :) Very cool touch, making it mistake proof and extra fun. There is also a transparency HUD for the pareo so you can turn it solid, sheer, or off completely.

One of the lovely prizes from The Muses is this Sommeil Outfit - Red. It consists of the top and pants (separately) in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. The top frames our cleavage beautifully, then changes to sheer lace as it flows to an inverted V hem. I love the loose fitting pants that fit perfectly beneath, but can also envision wearing BOM leggings beneath for a change of pace from time to time :) 

Not all of the prizes are poop-themed, LOL, but a few are at least in name. Blue Blood - Dreaming Dress Poopie Brown is one of those, and one of 3 treats from this particular store. I actually see it as more of a chocolate or coffee hued suede fabric, and I was impressed by the belt and seams that accentuate the bust very nicely. Find this poo and you'll receive Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes of the dress. 

As for my final look of the evening, that would be the RSStore Comfy Sweat [Black] which really is a cozy and flirty style :) That is all one piece so easy to wear, in sizing for Legacy and Reborn mesh bodies. There's an enclosed alpha HUD too, so we can click to hide the pants, sweater, belt, or body. I tilted my head like a confused pug at that point, LOL, not seeing a belt around my waist, but upon clicking I realized it was hiding the straps at the top of the bodysuit portion. I was going to hide the sweater for the rear view, but then I saw how cute the back was and could not bring myself to do it. So versatile!

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty good, and I was relieved to get to the farmers market before the rain started. A former vendor (a chef from Thailand) was there to meet with someone who was buying equipment she'd left behind, so I am assuming that she is not returning as she initially hoped :( I did get to spend lots of time petting the Boston terrier I see almost every week there, as he was in a snuggly mood and just soaks up all the attention and affection like an adorable sponge. I adore him, as you can tell :) I've had a good time with my cozy games too. Well, I do hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Scoops

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to explore the sewers again, with some more Scoop-N-Score hunt prizes. This SL Syndicate annual event is particularly tricky this year, with 2 levels of sewer pipes to examine, which you can navigate by clicking the ladders you'll run across as you wander through this maze. It was an impressive challenge that made me grateful for Xan's assistance, since he is much better than I am with mazes and the facts and figures part of this. We've got at least 260 poops to find, all of which contain terrific free prizes. We certainly earn these rewards ;) You've got all month to visit and enjoy the shopping up on the sunny side of things before diving below into the spooky darkness of the sewers. As I've mentioned in my other posts, please be aware that the sewers contain adult content (sex toys, penises, mature language, etc.) and spiders, blood, gore, body parts, creepy dolls...a little bit of everything really! There are various rooms and corners with different decorations, but it's mainly a labyrinth of pipes.

For my first look, I am wearing the :: DETENTION :: Cruel Summer Shirt - Black - prize, a cropped top with fuzzy edges and an image on the front that calls to mind a movie that just might make you Scream ;) This prize fits eBody, Mounds, Waifu, Lara X, and Legacy mesh bodies. I think that [Apika] decided we need some company in the sewers, or as a reminder of how much fun we had there, with their Poop Animesh - Unicorn friend in my left hand. There are 3 versions in each color (left hand, right hand, and head) as there are multiple poops that contain these little buddies. Each has flies zipping around because even our companions deserve friends, lol, and you can click the top of their heads (?) to change or hide the hovertext that allows you to name them. I hid mine, and it took several clicks because I kept missing and spinning around instead. I think I amused him, as he is grinning at me...

We managed to find all 4 presents from The Muses, so I'm sharing them two by two. The Ritual Dress - Moss is the pretty frock on the left, while Ritual Dress - Soil is the earthy colored dress on the right above. Each of these lovely prizes includes Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The deep V neckline front and back is such a nice touch, and I am definitely a fan of the intricate embroidered pattern on the skirt to match the waistband and sleeves. 

Next I did a side-by-side look of The Muses - Ritual Dress - Brick to the left, and Rust is the pretty shade on our right. Since they're the same style as the prior photo, they come in the same sizes to fit lots of popular mesh body brands and mods. I noticed there are other colors available to purchase up at the shopping event, so be sure to check that out too if you like :)

One of the trio of UNA prizes is this amazing UNA. Daynarys Sky outfit. It does not have a size indicated, but includes the dress, skirt, belt, cape, and collar you see above. It fit my Lara X quite nicely, and I had tried it on with Legacy the other day which also was a good fit. There is also a HUD provided with 16 colors each for cape and skirt, and 14 gem hues. 

For my final look of the night, I am enjoying our UNA. Lilit Dress Blue prize. There are solid and sheer versions of this elegant gown, in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I was still wearing Lara X so I did a bit of alpha-ing, and realized it fit pretty well :) The deep neckline will frame your favorite necklace beautifully (and your cleavage!) while the daring side slit shows off your entire left leg for added va-va-va-voom!

It was a nice day here, with cooler weather and a fun visit to my parents' for dinner. On the way we passed by a farm that has some alpacas, and I got a good laugh out of seeing two of them rolling around on their backs like when a dog is scratching themselves on a rug. Then they each just sat down, perfectly content, so they must have hit the right spots ;) I never knew they did that, and I really want to interact with one now. My dad said the ones he's petted have been very cuddly and friendly. Yes, I am a bit jealous, lol, but I think I will get the chance eventually. Otherwise I've been planning my weekend, writing a shopping list, and reminding myself periodically that my therapy on Sunday is 3 hours earlier so I don't brainfart and miss it. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Loving Kind Gifts

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some more hunt prizes to show you from The Loving Kind Hunt 2, a free gridwide hunt whose hunt objects are color-coded hearts to indicate which prizes are inside (red = female, blue = male, yellow = unisex or male and female in the same hidden heart). Their blog is helpful for providing hints and the landmarks to guide you from stop to stop, so you will need that open if you participate in the hunting which you can do for the entire month of February. The prizes are a generous mix of clothing, accessories, and plenty of home decor, many with a Valentine theme so do expect to find lots of hearts and the color red.

My first look starts with the alluring CuCu! Pencil Slit Skirt w Strap Top, our prize found on the Marketplace in the CuCu shop. I am linking the whole shop in the credits rather than the specific prize to 'look' for in there, it is a hunt after all :) That is how the website presented it and I am following their lead. This gorgeous dress comes in 8 fitmesh sizes including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, and there is even a diamond hearts emitter included but not shown. The terrific bracelets are the prizes you can find at Angel DELUXE who have a blue and a red heart hidden in their store, and in a touching nod to Game of Thrones (Daenerys and Khal Drogo's love story) the female prize is the Moon of my Life HER bracelet. The mens' version is My Sun and Stars HIS, and both bracelets contain resize scripts to allow you to adjust their mesh size very easily. I will always be moved by the words they used for each other, so meaningful.

Here I am feeling quite elegant in the prize from Xtasya, another Marketplace store who has a free gift awaiting those who visit. It is called Queen of Hearts Gown, and comes in plenty of fitted mesh sizes: standard, Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. The bright blue belt is attached, and highlights the heart on the bodice nicely. I decided to accessorize this look with the beautiful prize from The Muses, their Polynesia Jewelry which includes earrings and necklace each in gold and silver versions. The different metals also have different accent colors as you can see in the inset, equally striking so let your outfit guide your decision or simply what mood you may be in.

Sweet Peach has this lovely gown hiding in the heart in their store, the Linda Gown in Deep Red. I find this color to be very flattering with auburn hair rather than clashing as some more orange tones of red can do. This comes in standard mesh sizes along with a wide array for mesh bodies: Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. 

One last look tonight, this is our prize from Baci and is called lu-retro girl. It comes in system layers along with an Omega applier, and the vintage floral texture certainly suits the name. The bright red really pops against the soft flowers, and will look particularly lovely if you go somewhere tropical in SL. 

Such a busy weekend, I hope you all enjoyed yours! I watched the Puppy Bowl because football isn't really an interest of mine, and well the puppies are adorable and will all find wonderful new homes if they hadn't already. That is always a positive thing. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
