TeleportHub Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we explore to find some TeleportHub.com group gifts, which is always an adventure as with all of these multi-designer groups :) This one has a small $10L fee to join, which keeps us safe from spam and scams, so I've never regretted that tiny donation to the cause. The notices are full of information on new releases and special sales, and every participating designer can choose to offer a gift for the group at their store if they wish. They are usually easy to spot, since most are in a special frame with the name of the group and buttons to click for the website and to join the group. I've been a member for ages and it is always fun checking to see what's new :)

My first stop was BlondeQueen, where their current TeleportHub treat is called BQ::Magdalene Openback Dress FAT PACK. So pretty, with a splash of flirty! The dress comes in baby blue, black, hot pink, nude, plum, powder (pale pink), red, and white, which are each packaged separately. Open your chosen color and you'll find sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The back is as advertised, lol, scooped down low enough to show off a little bit of booty cleavage. The embossed floral pattern is such a nice touch too, don't you think?

The HORL - Poppy Outfit is an eye-catching gift in black leather. The halter top and side-laced skirt are each designed to fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. It is so detailed with all of the straps, rivets, and even a tiny buckle on the lower strap of the top. I'd like to wear it to an 80s club on rock night!

Next I've slipped into the gorgeous TOG STORE . Berry Set crossed halter dress. Its front opening is loosely held closed by two slender straps, and the back is completely bare which means it's a great time to show off a tattoo if you've got one. We receive sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, along with a HUD offering 9 texturing options. Each button is split to show that there are two colors or patterns in each, one for the main dress and the other for the trim. We've got a great variety here, as you can tell from just the two I'm sharing above.

Sometimes we need a smart casual outfit, and the GGVG ELA OUTFIT GROUP GIFT is certainly ready to fit that bill :) Its knotted top, jacket that ties about the waist, and snug shorts are each included in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with an adjustable hat in a visor style. The HUD offers 14 main colors and 8 edges each for top and shorts, plus 14 colors for the jacket and 8 for the hat. I'll be wearing this quite often this summer, with or without both the hat and the jacket :)

My final look this evening is fantastic for summer too - the Belle Epoque - Carol Bikini - GIFT. Our bra and panties are separate pieces in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The floral pattern really pops against its dark background, and the rear view is a bit cheeky so this is best reserved for mature rated destinations. My skybox apartment has a hot tub, so that's the first place I'm headed in it :) 

Whew, so my visit about my glasses was effective but challenging. The original prescription was very strong and made me excessively dizzy and nauseated, so I was hoping they could make sure things were aligned properly with my pupils and if so (they were) if the doctor there could adjust the script. Well she was hard to explain, and I'm trying not to be rude which makes one of us. Said my usual doctor sucks at refractions (??) and asked if she overheard me saying I didn't like the other doctor. I did not say that and told her so, and she snapped "oh just SAY IT, safe space in here!" which was bizarre. No ma'am, it does not feel like a safe space if you're mad that you misheard me saying that I wouldn't be able to see them for several weeks and needed the script adjusted sooner than that. She then insisted that I must have a metabolic disease if I have cataracts so young without diabetes or eye trauma since there are only 3 causes at my age. She was going to call her mom to ask what I needed blood testing for from my primary care doctor, LOL, seriously her mom is an eye surgeon so that isn't quite as weird as it sounds, but I don't think she did call. End result - I am now waiting another 2ish weeks for a new pair of glasses to be ready, and then I'll try again. Life is so weird sometimes, isn't it? I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SL Mesh Body Group

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is filled with generous gifts for the SL Mesh Body group, which has a small $9L price to join. There are lots of participating brands all across the grid, and I'm always excited to explore them and find out which ones are offering gifts for the group :) I've been a member of the group for ages, so that tiny fee to join has more than paid for itself dozens of times over. Hopefully you can find a new favorite store or discover a new gift at an old favorite haunt.

We start at TOG STORE in their new location, where the Licks Set is one of several gifts under the stairs. This flirty strapless mini has a fluttery layered skirt that is even shorter from behind, so fun! We receive sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD that offers a whopping 50 colors for us to choose from. Sometimes that's a really tough decision, because they all look fantastic!

If you're not in the mood for drama (same!) then you definitely need the [Enchantress] Tessa Dress Gift. It's a clear message for those girls who want to flirt with your man, or the so-called friend who talks crap behind your back. There are Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizes included. I love the way the front is gathered and tied at the right thigh!

Let's show off some leg with the T.B.O.M. Asymmetric Mini Dress group gift! This style made my brain go from salsa to dirty dancing, lol, with plenty of sex appeal either way. Claim this gift and you'll receive the dress and pants (panties on just one side) in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, plus a HUD with 3 colors for the dress. I can't resist that lacy embroidery on the top :)

Next I grabbed our Brunsen! Tara Sexy Dress [3] gift, and that gorgeous sequined texture makes me very glad I did :) There are more colors for other groups too, so I do suggest having a peek around the gift room. This beauty comes in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. 

My final look tonight comes from *Stars*Fashion*, their versatile Angee outfit. Its dress, dress + top, and boots are all designed to fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Perky Juicy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and we've got two HUDS to take care of it all. They offer the same 15 colors for dress, top, and boots, but one is for the Legacy sizes and the other for non-Legacy versions. I don't know enough about scripting to have any idea why that would be, but it's not an issue since it's all clearly labeled and worked fine for me. 

I'm a bit sleepy this evening since I got a lot less sleep than planned (thanks, Pokopia, LOL) but the anxiety/agoraphobia support group session went really well and there were some interesting suggestions made. Sometimes acting as someone's cheerleader, telling them "you've got this!" when they're facing something scary, is helpful for all of us to hear and take to heart. I was going to go out tomorrow but the plans got shifted to Wednesday somehow, so I'll be blogging tomorrow evening after all :) It's getting so warm in here, these fluctuating temperatures sure are a struggle lately. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Fitmesh Fanatics

 Hiya everyone! Tonight felt like a good time to explore and find some Fitmesh Fanatics group gifts to share. The group is free to join, and there are lots of quality designers who participate by sending notices to inform us about sales and special offers. They can also choose to offer gifts for the Fitmesh Fanatics group, as you're about to see :) It's always an adventure to scout out the stores and track down the gifts, as I get to see all the new releases and any remodeling or anything that the designers have done. Then I get to see how generous they are, which always warms my heart.

We're starting at Delicatt Couture, where the Olivia mini dress V2 is our group gift for February. They do seem to change them as soon as the new month arrives, so I'm going to suggest you hurry here :) The strapless dress is decorated with silver studs and a glowy floral pattern, in 11 colors via HUD. We receive Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. 

I also picked up the flirty ::KF:: Ariel DressPantie gift from KyaraFashion. The dress has built in panties and comes in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. Not only does it have a daring low neckline and bright gold zipper down the front, but it also has an "undress me" script so you can choose who you want to be able to take off the dress and leave just the wisp of panties behind :) The last time I clicked someone who was wearing something scripted like that was a complete accident, both of us trying to sit in the same lucky chair at once, and I would up slapping her boobs, LOL! I was probably more surprised than she was. Be sure to set the permissions before you head out in public to prevent accidentally stripping.

This gorgeous dress is our TOG STORE . Alky Set gift, which is a real head-turner with that bare midriff and extra short skirt. We get to choose from 10 fun patterns too, for the main dress and the sleeves separately if we wish, thanks to the enclosed HUD. The dress is designed for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I try not to choose favorites, but that playful kitty print on the right is simply the cutest thing I've seen all day :)

Next we check out the Bens Beauty - Taia Set which is one of several gifts on the same wall; just look for the Fitmesh Fanatics hovertext above it :) The set consists of the top and skirt in sizing for Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, plus a handy HUD. The HUD offers 30 colors and 10 metals each for the top and the skirt, so there is plenty of potential for variety here. I love the way the straps have a little gap from each of the pieces, for an extra flirty flash of flesh. 

My final look of the evening from Suna Designs is their S-Linda silver dress, which I think is a very flattering style and color that will add some shimmer to any time of year. There are Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included. I'm trying to decide my favorite feature, and I'm leaning towards that playful bow on the halter neck with the tails dangling down the back. While you're upstairs to get this gift, be sure to look for other groups you may already be a member of for other terrific treats :)

Oh my goodness, my morning was something else! I had just finished taking these photos and notes, and was going to be headed downstairs for breakfast soon when I heard noise right behind my chair. It sounded like chewing, and I had been suspecting tiny rodents were visiting again, so I turned around and firmly said "stop chewing!" like I do when my parents' birds start chomping on something they shouldn't. Well I wasn't expecting to actually get a response, LOL, but a little mouse got offended and ran away across the room! You know I screamed a little, one of those startled gasp screams, and lost track of it but think it went behind a bin near the heating register. I didn't stick around long, grabbed a few essentials and fled to my bedroom to calm down. Couldn't bring myself to even check the room until tonight, and am relieved not to see anything amiss and the old humane trap near where it headed is still empty. We got lots of snow and the driveway is not plowed yet, but they should be here to take care of that in about 6 hours. Once the housemate will be able to drive to the park for releasing any critters, we will re-bait some traps and see what happens. Is it weird that I noticed it was a much darker color than the ones we've caught before? They were medium brown, this looked dark almost black but the same size. I have no idea if that is significant or not, lol, and not sure I want to try to find out. At least the power stayed on *knock on wood* and no harm was done. I hope you're all having a cozy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Mesh Body Friends

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I ran across several fantastic gifts for the Mesh Body Friends group, which is free to join so all of these gifts are entirely free. We know that I adore the multi-designer groups as a great way to find out all the news from lots of stores at once, and of course the gifts are a lovely bonus :) If you have a favorite group of this sort or a store who's loaded with gifts for those groups, I would love to hear about it in the comments. Meanwhile let's take a look at some generous treats!

Our first stop this evening is Hilly Haalan, where you can find their [hh] GIFT Arista Dress among other gifts for this and other groups by teleporting to the group gifts room. This gorgeous red mini comes in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The many straps wound around the waist are such a fun detail, much like the little golden clasps present on them.

I must admit, I misinterpreted this outfit when first glancing at the vendor image ;) The TOG STORE . Omeko Set is our flirty gift with touches of fishnet on the skirt, and I'm going to suggest you wear your some panties beneath like they must have done in their photo. The top and skirt are each provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kupra Ups, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. There's also a HUD, with 20 colors apiece for the top, laces, and skirt portions. The back of the skirt is entirely fishnet, so nearly bare bum, and that white flower you see on the front is something I added in Photoshop and not in SL or part of the outfit whatsoever. I really appreciate the versatility of the HUD!

Next we get to turn up the heat in our new [K-Style] TONIA DRESS #5 gift. The plunging neckline makes for a flirty view both front and rear, and that vivid shade of blue is simply fantastic. There are sizes for Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included. 

I also visited Bens Beauty and picked up their wonderful Vika Dress for the group. It comes in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Kupra Ups, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizing, along with a HUD offering an impressive 50 dress colors and 6 metals for its attached belt. The crossed straps in the back are one of my favorite styles, and the large rings on the belt remind me of one I wore in RL many years ago :)

For my final look of the night, we've got the V-Twins - Viper Outfit gift, which will certainly command attention when you walk into any room. The dress, separate sleeves, panties, and above the knee boots are all provided in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I'm sure you can tell that there is a HUD also, and that has 12 colors each for dress, sleeves, panties, and upper and lower portions of the boot, plus 3 metals for the dress and panties each. So that is a lot of options, which also helps us feel powerful. I think that's a great way to feel sexy too, being in control :) The first detail I noticed was the piercings on the bust, like a pair of nipple piercings are peeking through, then of course I noticed the single shoulder strap and the chain draped against the waist cutout. The rear view shows the side zipper on the dress quite well, in case those weren't enough fun features for you ;)

It is a winter wonderland here in RL, with about 10-12 inches of snow and some sleet and ice piled on top of that. Fortunately, knock on wood, the power is stable and the generator has not been put to the test. I had a productive therapy session earlier, followed by some relaxing gaming (Animal Crossing New Horizons, Hello Kitty Island Adventure) so I am doing okay. I'm hoping everyone in the path of the recent storm is safe and warm, and my thoughts are with anyone who may have been feeling unsafe lately in general. My anxiety makes the world feel really unsafe anyway, so when the news is ugly I get even more fearful. We are stronger together than divided. I hope you're all having a cozy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Thankful for Fashion Sales

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're taking another peek at some gifts from the Fashion Sales group's Black Friday Sales event. Some are for the group (free to join) and others are simply set for sale for $0L so everyone can grab them. We're speeding into the busiest time of the year in SL for sales and events, and this is a fun way to enjoy some discounted shopping :)

First up, I slipped into the charming [SD] YESSICA gift from Sugar Dolls. Their dress and jacket are each designed to fit Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies, and wait until you get a look at their HUD! That offers a whopping 70 colors each for the dress and our shrug of a jacket, so you can mix or match for any occasion. My favorites lately have been jewel tones, but we're still in that timeframe of autumn meets winter holidays so pretty much anything goes :)

I somehow managed to do versions of Christmas colors here for my next look, which is our Borah Tida Dress - Fatpack gift. There is something so lovely about sweetheart necklines, and I have always been a fan of bell sleeves too. Our gift includes sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies, along with a HUD to select from 30 solid colors and 30 lacy colors for the dress and for the trim/sleeves. The lace on the sleeves is sheer, but the dress itself is more of an overlay of embroidery.

The {EB} JANET GIFT is one of two from Ewa Boutique. Its cropped long sleeve shirt and thong style panties are each provided in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The enclosed HUD offers 24 colors apiece for the top, panty, and bow in the front, for plenty of versatility. Will I slip out of the thong and into my favorite jeans to go Black Friday shopping yet again? You bet! :)

The TOG STORE . Gurya Set gift is ready to steam up your screen and amaze you with its flexibility! Our dress and panties each come in Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs sizes, along with two HUDs. First the dress HUD has 20 solid colors and 30 patterns each for the main dress, straps, and laces, then the similar panties HUD offers the same 20 solids and 30 patterns for the panty and the bows on the sides. The possibilities feel endless with those HUDs :)

My final look this evening is the Akai Ito 23 gift, although all the parts inside were labeled 22 instead of 23 so I am not certain about that name :) It consists of the dress and panties in sizes for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The adorable flat heeled pumps will fit the same bodies' feet - Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn. I'm loving the bright coral color, a timeless choice that I think works for any season or holiday. 

I really meant to give Thanksgiving wishes last night, but was deeply distracted by my weird few days and not celebrating the holiday yet until Saturday, so I'm just going to offer belated wishes now :) Over a decade ago, I was curious to see if I could come out of my shell enough to be a blogger, and I'm still grateful every single day that I made that decision. I was recovering from a miserable surgery, the 3rd in less than 2 years, and still have chronic pain from it...but the things I am thankful for are that I am still here fighting through that, and that kind designers have accepted me as an official blogger of theirs. Lots of gratitude goes to every single person who's ever read my wordy but sincere posts, where I share about my life as well as Second Life and all the wondrous things I find. The past few years have brought some personal struggles for me, but somehow I am clawing my way through and looking towards the future. As always, I truly hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, and many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sweets For SLFO

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we check out some gifts for the SLFO or SL Frees & Offers group, which is currently free to join and has a wide range of designers who take part. They can send group notices to keep us informed of sales, new releases, and events they are part of, and of course they can offer gifts in their store for the members to enjoy :) I absolutely do enjoy them, and every now and then I make it a point to share some to let you know what's out there waiting for us. They have had a permanent place among my group slots for ages and hopefully always will.

My first stop was [ARTi'S], where the SummerDress Group Gift is one of several gifts for various groups, including another for this one :) The summer in the name is just a suggestion of course, as it would be comfortable to wear indoors or at any sim that's got a warm climate at the moment. There are sizes for Erika, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, Prima Busty, Busty Flat, Petite Flat, Hourglass, Hourglass Flat, Physique, Physique Flat, Rebirth, Reborn, Mounds, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. Whew, that's a wide range! I love the floral pattern with so many different styles of blossoms, and the way the high-low skirt is so dramatically shorter in the front :)

Over at La Feminique in their new location, the Pam bikini is also ready to help us fulfill our warm weather fantasies. The bra top and thong bottom are separate, in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, as well as standard mesh sizes. The tropical pattern is so pretty, and the ties on both pieces are a fun touch. 

Next, in a fun coincidence, I picked up the [Din] Pam Fatpack which has the same ladies' name but is a dress rather than a bikini. Our strapless mini has a lace midriff for added flirt factor, and comes in Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Peach, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizes. It also includes a HUD with 10 colors and the ability to adjust the shine (3 levels plus off) and the materials can be turned on or off. Quick note - to claim this gift, please click the word FATPACK beneath the picture of the dress on the wall, and you'll receive it for free :) I was wondering why clicking the picture itself didn't do anything, lol, but then I was relieved to realize where to touch.

This lovely dress is our Brunsen! Tara Sexy Dress [15] gift, one of several group's gifts you can find here at Brunsen Couture. The fabric is a gorgeous sparkly floral pattern, and the gift includes sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I always find such wonderful gifts here, and I'm grateful for their generosity to match their talent.

My final look of the evening comes from TOG STORE, and it's called Ezra Set. The low cut knit top goes so well with the flirty pants, each of which are provided in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Squeezed, Kups, Kups Flat, Legacy, Perky, Pushup, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. Of course there is also a HUD to change colors, with 14 choices for the blouse and 12 for the pants. The cutouts and slender straps on the hips really make the pants sexy, but not overly revealing since the crack is fully covered ;)

It was a very busy but good weekend, starting with all the cooking on Friday. That went well, and I am relieved that some of the Thanksgiving feast is prepared and frozen. The farmers market Saturday was good fun too, and a very sweet dog (long haired Dachshund) decided that she needed me to rub her belly :) The weather was nice until last night, when storms rolled in and knocked out the power several times. Then it did the same today, so it has been a tricky kind of evening. My therapist would like to discuss dropping down to every 2 weeks since I've been doing pretty well, and I agree that I will be okay with that. I'm not 'cured' and things are not perfect of course, but I'd describe my progress as stable and that is enough for now. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Third Life Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm sharing some gifts for the Third Life group, which is very low cost to join, just $10L. This keeps out spammers and the like, and encourages us to stay in the group and enjoy the benefits :) Many of the participating designers offer gifts for the group members in their stores, so I hopped around and explored several to find these delightful treats. It's funny how some weekends I just want to stick close to home in SL, while others I am eager to visit lots of places and see what's new, as I did today.

Hot stuff, coming through! The TOG STORE : MasBah Set gift is a combo of strappy halter top, separate sleeves, and distressed denim miniskirt, all in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. There's also a HUD provided that offers 30 colors each for the top, sleeves, skirt, and strap which is the lower one on the top. Mix and match to your heart's content as I always do, and please know that I was absolutely having an 80s flashback to when I wore denim miniskirts that were almost this short ;)

As the summer heat blazes on, we can always use more swimwear like this Petry Model --> Bikini SRGC gift. It is elegant in its simplicity of solid black, a top and panty pairing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. As the panty is a thong cut, it might not be suitable for more family friendly locales, but there are plenty of more mature venues in SL as well as your own backyard with that special someone :) Xan and I have a hot tub that is so nice to soak in any time of year.

Next I visited [Diesel Deluxe] where I followed the arrows on the walls to their gift area, finding the Melani Outfit Top + Skirt [15] as the Third Life gift. It got me thinking that I usually see the Union Jack or UK flag on denim jackets or jeans in SL, but haven't seen it on a more flirty style like this one recently :) The top and skirt are linked as one piece, in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The playful white bows really pop against the dark main color, and I love the way the opening in the top is heart shaped.

Lara AC is another fantastic place to go for group gifts for various multi-designer groups, so it's no surprise that I found the lovely Dress Lotus Kala Lace Pink gift for us there. If you don't land directly at the gifts, you can use the teleporter to that section and my link's arrow should point you to this one :) There are Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes included, all with the daring diagonal hem and tied at the left hip. 

For my final look of the night, I am sporting the charming Carola*Maite 0323 outfit which is our Third Life gift there. The halter style bodysuit comes in Erika, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing, while the heels will fit Belleza, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Slink feet. I'm sure you guessed that there's a HUD enclosed as well, actually there are two (one for the bodysuit, one for the heels) that each offer 10 pretty colors.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was not too bad, and I am trying to figure out where to go this week for my outings. My tooth is still a little sore, and I am still not chewing on that side, but I am confident that it will continue to improve as more time passes. We have some intriguing things ahead in SL, and the hot weather in RL is going to make me want to escape to SL even more. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FurtaCor and Friends

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some generous group gifts to share, all yours for free if you pay just $1L to join the FurtaCor VIP group. There are many other designers who take part in this particular group with notices about sales, new releases, and more. Some also offer group gifts for anyone wearing this group tag, so that's exactly what I decided to show off tonight :) I stumbled across one, then remembered seeing another in my travels, and it snowballed into an exciting post so I am grateful for randomness.

My first look comes from TOG STORE and is their Anastacia Set FatPack. This sweet treat is just right for summer, with its bare shouldered top and fun knit shorts that each fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. There is also a HUD for our gift with 40 options each to texture the arms, top, and shorts, so we can mix and match among the solids and patterns. It feels like we're really getting hundreds of outfits in one, all for free!

I felt both chic and seductive in our HORL - Dija Dress :) The collar connected to the tube dress makes the look a bit edgy, and that short hem is just as certain to turn heads. We receive sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies in this generous gift that we can liven up with brightly colored bracelets and earrings or simply keep the black theme going with appropriate accessories.

Another sweet summery treat can be found at BlondeQueen among their various group gifts. The BQ::Gea Swimsuit:: Red & Gray gift includes striped suits in each color mentioned, both in Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes. I really like the sweetheart neckline and the anchor on the front, which I think makes the stripes feel even more nautical. It's also worth mentioning that the modest leg cut means this swimsuit in either color can be worn at even family friendly beaches.

Next I changed into the lovely OPHELIA SET by BA Store which is our gift from Black Angel. It starts with the dreamy top, rather heart-shaped from the front view, and the crisply seamed miniskirt is a beautiful blue to coordinate with the ethereal pattern on the top. If you wear Kupra, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy, or Mounds mesh bodies then you are in luck! :) All those sizes are provided and ready to brighten your day.

My final look of the evening is an outfit that can also double as beachwear. Our {Le'La} Riri set Gift consists of the intriguing top and shorts combo you see above, each in sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. I love how both straps loop over the left shoulder, and the high waisted shorts are cut on the hip just enough to show off some skin but not too much ;) The tropical pattern on those shorts is inspiring fantasies of fancy drinks with umbrellas in them, enjoyed while lying in the shade with a soothing breeze drifting by.

It has not been a pleasant day unfortunately, as I'd had a very weird dream that a sports figure ended his life (he is in RL legal trouble, a trial that should be concluded this week) and woke to find out that a family friend passed away. He was close to my parents' age and had some health issues like diabetes, but they have not said yet what happened. His store was closed suddenly on Friday for a family emergency :( It will continue since his son was his partner in the business, and they've always been surrounded by a supportive community. I'm being slightly vague to respect their privacy and my own. Sometimes the realities of life just hit hard, ya know? I also woke up with sharp pain in my right shoulder blade area so I probably slept oddly and now I can't move my head or right arm without stabbing pains. My intention was to go out tomorrow for an outing, but now I will have to wait and see how I feel because all the roads around here are really bumpy. I hope you're all having a decent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Mesh Body Friends Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it felt like time to explore various stores, so I popped on my Mesh Body Friends group tag (free to join) and headed out to see what gifts I could find :) You all know that I enjoy sharing treats from multi-designer groups, and I sometimes don't even decide which group until I visit a few places. It just so happened that one of these gifts jumped out at me as just begging to be claimed and shown off. Who am I to argue with virtual clothing?

My first look of the evening is our TOG STORE . Cliver Set, a gift including a long tank top and itty bitty panties. These each fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The gift also includes a HUD with 10 textures each, so our panties are various solid colors and the tank top has assorted striped choices. I really like the open weave on the lower half of the tank, and would happily swap the panties for BOM shorts if I wanted to wear this somewhere G-rated :)

This sexy dress is the Tastic-Mandy Dress Pink gift for Mesh Body Friends. It has separate sleeves so you can wear the dress alone or with the sleeves, and they come in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. At this point I switched back to Lara 5.3 from my Lara X body :) Love the pink leopard print here, and the dramatic neckline!

Kyarafashion has a terrific treat for us too, called .:KF:.GIFT Dahlia Dress. It's got one bare arm opposing a long sleeve on the right, and some intricate detailing in the midriff that caught my eye. There are Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu sizes of this beauty with Undress Me script built in (clicking it brings up a menu so you can set permissions or undress yourself) and the dress has a built in lace crotch cover. The HUD offers 12 colors with gold trim, 12 with silver trim, and 15 colors for the lace cover. 

Speaking of single shoulder looks, how about this stunning CHANTY STYLE LILLY BODY gift? :) The bodysuit is provided in sizes for Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 20 playful textures. Please don't ask me to pick a favorite because I simply cannot, lol, but the one on the right above is up pretty high on my list.

For my final look of the evening, I am enjoying our ::T.B.O.M::Bisous Skirt Full Outfit gift from The Best Of Me. The sweater, skirt, and heels are each designed to fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I think I learned here in SL that bisous means kisses, and the lips above and below the wording would indicate so too...but why a devil and an angel, I have no idea ;) The long sleeves have a fun thumb loop which I love so much in RL for layering clothing beneath jackets or coats in cold weather, and it's just a cute touch. The skirt has a built in black panty, which matches the buckles on the skirt as well as those thigh-high peeptoe boots that made me go "rawr" out loud because I am a silly goose sometimes. 

So far all is quiet again as far as little furry rodents in my home, but I think I should knock on wood to avoid jinxing myself again. I had a great time with the new Switch 2 and playing multiplayer with a friend, so it was a pleasant respite. Then I got upstairs here and found out that one of the vendors from the farmers market died suddenly over the weekend, so I am really sad for his family and friends. Very nice man, bubbly and cheerful personality, and he made excellent food. He was active in his hometown community too, specifically their parks & recreation board, so it sounds like he will be deeply missed. I hope you're all having a decent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
