More Scoop Scores

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is bursting with more Scoop N Score hunt prizes, all of which are free and found by exploring the SL Syndicate sewer maze. We are looking for poops, sort of like the emoji but with teeny legs and smaller eyes/faces, and you will see some examples at the landing area on shelves. You can also pick up your very own scoop to hold while hunting, for free by clicking the sign, LOL! It isn't necessary to claim the prizes, but it is quite a conversation piece ;) I was lucky to have Xan's assistance because I am not great at mazes, and we generally find teamwork to be useful for the more challenging hunts like this. So grab a friend and bring them to the sewers, and prepare for a stinking good time. The puns and wordplay in the names of many of these poops were cracking me up, so voice chatting with Xan during the hunt was punctuated by a lot of outbursts of laughter. We have until the end of the month to discover all the secrets of the sewers.


For my first look, I started with the lovely DREAMCATCHER - Sofia Nightdress - Gift color prize. This is one of 5 prizes from this designer, and it fits Freya, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The dark fabric is embossed with a floral pattern that looks great with the full short skirt, and the plunging neckline makes a pretty frame for the other gift in this photo :) That would be the Evado Daniel The You Necklace, the same store whose Babygirl Collar appeared in last night's post. This time we have a slender chain connected in the front by an ornate heart dripping with gems, in sizes to fit Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. There is also a HUD with 6 metals, 22 gemstone colors, and options for brightness and glow. It's beautiful and versatile for sure.


I combined two prizes for this look, but this time from the same designer :) The main outfit is our ERSCH - Fanbase Suit -denimnavy- prize, whose top and bottom are each provided in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn sizes. There is also a HUD with 5 metals to choose from, so we can adjust the look a bit. Then I added the ERSCH - Fanbase Straps -star- gift, which has 5 colors of straps for the top and bottom (black, pink, red, white, yellow) that are included in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. I'm wearing the pink top and bottom on the left, but changed into the yellow top and red bottom on the right. All of them say STAR, which is exactly how we get to feel :) The straps also have a 5 metal HUD for the clasps.


Next I prepared for the hot weather with our ::WD:: Set Faye - Tropic which is one of Web Dew's 8 generous prizes. The bra, panties, and pareo are each provided in Erika, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. Then we can add the brooches for left and right ear (like large earrings) and chest, and the matching hairpin. There are HUDs too - the one for the clothing has 3 transparency levels for the cloth portions (full, part sheer, then all the way invisible) and the accessory HUD offers 5 colors each for 5 parts. When you click a numbered button it makes the parts you're able to tint glow briefly, so watch for the parts of the outfit to light up! I really love Web Dew's style and was delighted to find so many treats from them.


There are 2 prizes waiting in the sewers from Ash, one of which is this striking Mako dress - GOLDEN. It consists of the dress, dress bows, neck bow, and straps, each designed for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. Since they are separate pieces, you can wear just the dress or add just one or two of the accessories if the full look is not quite to your tastes. 


My final look of the evening is another treat from Tea Lane, and similar to the ones I shared last night it has a playful poo emoji pattern. The ~TL~ Poop Comfy Pajamas are a one piece shorts set with pert frills and a bow at the waist where the belt is tied. There are sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included in this fun gift. 

In case anyone was curious about the food delivery issue I had yesterday, there is a small update...she usually posts her weekly menu on Mondays so I was curious to see if anything else was mentioned. Another post after the menu told us that since the warmer weather is here, we could add an insulated (she spelled it insulted, sadly appropriate?) bag with ice pack to our order. I checked, it's $6 extra. So her new delivery driver made a mistake and to prevent it from happening again we have to pay more? Nope, you've just lost 3 regular customers. I am disappointed but there are other sources of healthy food out there. In other news, my follow-up visit for the abscess I had treated is tomorrow afternoon, and I don't expect there to be any issues as I think it is healing appropriately. I'll still be able to blog in the evening :) I'll probably take a brief break from Scoop N Score to share some other goodies, then return to it soon as there are lots more I want to show you all. I have a few ideas in mind already, as May has brought new rounds of hunts and events that make me very happy. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Scoop N Score

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some spoils to share from the challenging but entertaining Scoop N Score Hunt from SL Syndicate. This isn't my first foray down to the sewers to search a maze for poops, as it is their 5th anniversary of this particular hunt, and I'm very lucky to have had Xan's help each year because mazes are not my strong point. Yes, I said we're looking for poops, LOL, and these have tiny faces and even little legs. They are each free, and there are over 150 with absolutely free prizes inside! Some of the gifts are themed but not all, I'd say most are not while a few are a brown colored version as a nod to the hunt. The website lists how many prizes/poops are hiding from each participating designer, which can help you keep track. Xan and I spent hours exploring and getting lost, and having SL weirdness like things we were looking at just vanish and derender themselves for no reason (we each had it different times in different areas) so I recommend teamwork and patience. Eventually I wound up camming into a room we had not been in yet and could not find a way in despite wandering for hours, so I sat on a chair in there to put my avatar into that section. Prizes include fashions, accessories, home decor, and more, a little something for just about everyone.


My first look of the evening starts with the ::WD:: Dress Willa - Gift from Web Dew, who have 8 prizes out there for us. The dress and matching panties will fit Erika, Kupra Squeezed, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. That vibrant print really shows off the colors and the sequined trim nicely! The strapless style was an ideal foil for the Evado Babygirl Collar, one of 5 prizes they have hiding in the sewer system. It includes an unrigged version as well as Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes, and a HUD with 6 metals and 22 fabric hues. As you can see on the closeup (inset), the collar has BabyGirl in your choice of metal tone with a matching heart charm that bears a deep pink/magenta paw print. It matches the main color of the dress in a fun coincidence, but with the many options on the HUD you can pair this with just about anything you prefer.


Speaking of paw prints, I seem to be covered with a fresh trail of them here! That would be the GERMINAL - IMPRINT TATTOO BOM ONLY prize, one of 9 they are offering in this hunt. There are 2 BOM layers, the original I'm wearing and a white tintable version that you can simply edit (right click in inventory - edit or right click yourself to edit outfit) and change the color which will save a new copy for you. My alluring outfit is another treat from Web Dew, called ::WD:: Set Frida - Blue. It consists of the bra, panties, arms, and garter each in sizing for eBody Reborn, Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with an unrigged matching collar. There is also a HUD with 24 textures each for 7 different sections, so you can click the image of the section to change just one or slap that "all" button :) I went white on the left but pink and blue on the right, and of course there are plenty of other possibilities.


My next outfit is comprised of 3 of the 4 prizes from Normandy which combine beautifully. The Xan.Top SNS has bare shoulders and long sleeves that extend to the palms, with notched neckline that matches the waistband of the shorts. The top will fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, Mounds, and Teacups mesh bodies. Then I added the Xan.Shorts which include sizes for Cake, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Rolls bodies. I think the straps of the Tau.Heels have a bit of glow to them, don't they? These sky high platforms fit Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn feet, and I apologize that I was having some trouble adjusting my hover height to fully show them off from the front. You can see the full height on the right :)


Remember how I said that some of the gifts are poop themed? *giggle* Tea Lane would be responsible for several themed prizes, like their ~TL~ Summer Lounge Poop outfit seen here. The top and bottom both come in Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes along with a standard fitted version. Their poo emoji pattern is surprisingly subtle, and a perfect match for their ~TL~ Poop Slouch Boots prize. These wedge heeled boots come up to just below the knee, and are provided in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes. I included a closer view of the fabric pattern so you could see the cute little poops, which is a statement I never expected to make in a blog yet I am not sorry ;)


My final look has a side by side view of two -wraith- prizes, a sampling of the 6 striking colors among their prizes. The left is the Roxanne - Scoop N Score - Prize 2 - Red version, with the Prize 6 - Purpl making an appearance to the right above. These are each designed to fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Juicy Rolls bodies, and have a fun metallic ombre of each color down to black. The bra cups are intriguing with those slender straps, and the high cut leg openings lead to a thong style in the rear. 

Whew, this was quite a hectic weekend after all! My parents and I each ordered meals from a registered dietician who used to sell her food at the farmers market we go to, and her business has been growing lately so she hired a new delivery driver who started this week. Not only was he over an hour later than the noon-2PM window (hers was 10-11AM) but the food was on his floorboards and warm. Sound gross? It might have been in his warm car for several hours with no ice or even a bag. We couldn't trust it and had to get a refund, and neither of us will probably order from her again unless her delivery process improves. My body is starting to react slightly to the antibiotics, stomach issues mostly, so that made today a rough one and makes food safety even more important. I have 5 more days of meds (10 pills, 2 a day) and a follow-up visit on Tuesday, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that these pills do their job and stop bothering me so much. As for blog stuff, I have plenty more prizes to share from this hunt so please stay tuned :) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More FaMESHed Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have several more gifts from the FaMESHed event's 11th anniversary celebration, which are all available to their free update group members. There is a special area just for gifts, a separate region alongside the main one, so don't forget to explore the main shopping area with lots of sales offers from talented original mesh designers. I am always impressed with people's creativity, and the generosity shown when a beloved event like this reaches a milestone like this :) 


My first look of the evening is a playful bodysuit from Have Unequal called [HU] Giovana Body_Aqua Lip. This gift fits eBody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with halter neck and a lace layer. The included HUD has black and white lace color options, hide/show and transparency for the lace, hide/show and transparency for the main material, and 21 colors for the edges. Lots of versatility, and I suggest just trying out all the buttons and seeing what kind of look suits your mood :)


You may remember this top from yesterday, the Diversion - Mindy Top - Gift which fits eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. Tonight I paired it with the Danni leggings//black/crimson gift from .little fox. The deep red picks up the flowers from the top nicely, and the leggings' style gives an edgy contrast to the top too :) There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies included.


Next I slipped into the tantalizing [Glitzz] Cibelle Dress - Gift Black. This dress crosses into lingerie territory with the bows, garter straps, and shapely boning. We receive Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes of this flirty frock.


7wishes is offering their remarkable <7w> Larkin Pantsuit - Powder Blue Plaid as the FaMESHed anniversary gift. Its halter top and ruffle-hemmed leggings are linked into one piece by an intricate network of leather straps, and the pale blue plaid looks so pretty with creamy yellow and slender pink stripes. There are Legacy, Legacy Push Up, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy Boobs/Rolls sizes provided, as well as a HUD with 14 textures for the ruffles, 10 colors for the leathers, and 5 metals. We can definitely have lots of fun playing with this HUD!


My final look this evening features the *PRIMA* GIFT Coachella vibes necklace. It has an unrigged version (shown) and a Prima body rigged size, plus a HUD to choose from 24 colors for the string and 24 for the beads, and a shuffle (pair of dice) button that gives you a random mix of colors on the 7 beads. If you pick one of the 24 it tints all of them at once, so I did the shuffling here to maximize the colors you get to see :) This can be adjusted to coordinate with so many different outfits, and the beads provide a small but potent pop of color. 

It was a long day since my sleep was very interrupted so I needed a couple naps, but I am doing okay and looking forward to the farmers market tomorrow and then what should be a quiet remainder of the weekend. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FaMESHed Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a celebration of the FaMESHed event's 11th anniversary, which in SL usually means gifts for us :) The FaMESHed update group is free to join, and there are dozens of gifts in a separate area for us to claim and enjoy. I still had fun browsing the fairly busy event, as it's hard to resist the original mesh designs that include home decor, fashion, and accessories. The gift region is next to the main region, so you can simply walk (and sim-cross) from one to the other while exploring. I am always pleased with the wide variety we can find here, and isn't 11 years in SL just marvelous? Lots of respect for that major accomplishment, and I wish them many more years of success. I am amused that they stylize the name as FaMESHed so people stop thinking it is fame-shed, rather than fa-meshed because of the original mesh creations.


I start the evening with our Ricelli - Cher Dress / BabyPink gift, whose name I cannot decide if it is a nod to the singer or the Clueless character ;) There are sizes for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies provided, all with that rich leathery sheen in a pale pink that has a terrific shimmery glow.


Next I paired two gifts to cover all the bases (yes, that means breasts and booty). The top is our gift from Diversion called Mindy Top, and it is a lovely tube top with red floral pattern and trim, plus a teensy ruffle at the bottom hem. We receive eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes of this beauty. Then I slipped into the *CK* Mamacita overall V2 LEATHER BLACK gift from Candy Kitten, flirty shorts with bib that is worn with just one side up and the other side/strap dangling loose. The gift consists of sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies, with a HUD that offers 10 stripes choices (the wording on the straps), 5 bandana textures, 3 colors for the panties, 3 for the buttons, and an on/off option for the panties that are visible from that rear view. Both of these can be worn with anything already in your wardrobe instead if you wish, get creative and have fun!


Another gift combo happened when I discovered these two treats while unpacking all these generous goodies, which always feels like a holiday :) The [JUSTICE] VIVIAN TANK - SPRING GIFT has a sweet floral pattern and fluttery short hem, with shoulder straps that tie beneath each arm to dangle in long loose bows. There are Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique sizes included, with a 20 color HUD for the strings. I had some fun mixing patterns by adding the (fd) Study Buddy Short - P Houndstooth gift, since neither print is especially large or loud. These classic gathered waist shorts come in sizes to fit eBody Reborn, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, with an 18 color HUD for the built in belt. There are also 8 metal choices on the HUD so you can even change up the buckle's appearance for even more versatility. 


Pink Cream Pie has a wonderful treat called !PCP :: Gia [Blossom] waiting for us in the gift area. This tank top and skirt pairing is designed for Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and there are panties built into the skirt whose color we can adjust with the HUD included in the gift. It has 24 choices as well as an on/off, and you can see it above as the string on the left hip that is pale aqua on the left and hot pink in the right half of my photo. I wanted to coordinate with the floral fabric while making sure it was noticeable enough for me to point it out.


My final look of the night brings the sexy and the elegant! Kaithleen's Lismore Dress - Plum is a sheer full length gown with daring scoop cutout on the left side from the hip down, and panties built in. It fits Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy Boobs mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 20 colors each for the straps, trim, and panties, plus 4 metals and on/off for the panties. On the left I mixed things up a bit to show the various HUD tinting areas with red straps, blue trim, and purple panties. The leopard print really caught my eye here too, just an overall striking look :)

It was an adventure of a day yesterday, as I went to the dermatologist who did an incision and drainage on my abscess (not fun but necessary) and prescribed antibiotics. Then I got a little rest between doses of meds and going to my parents' for a family birthday celebration. I managed to enjoy myself through any discomfort, and am glad to be on the path to healing. No dinner plans for tomorrow like I normally would have, as yesterday's dinner was the reschedule based on their plans (high school reunions) for the next few days. They are generally busy people for being in their 70s, and it is impressive that they can be so that is not a complaint :) I'll be resting and recuperating, and I have more gifts from FaMESHed to share tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Enticing Fitmesh Fanatics

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have a variety of Fitmesh Fanatics group gifts and a new release from Entice found at Cosmopolitan, so it's a smorgasbord kind of evening :) The Fitmesh Fanatics group is free to join and is a multi-designer group, so we get the news from many stores across the grid. That also means that we have many places to visit and find terrific group gifts, like the ones I am sharing tonight. Over at the newest round of the Cosmopolitan event, Entice has a sporty tank dress for us with an impressive range of colors and options that I'm very pleased to show you.


My first stop on the FMF tour was the .:AlmaMiranda:. store, where they are offering this lovely Fitmesh Fanatics 15K dress as our group gift. The teal blue swirls made me think of whirlpools in a lake or ocean, such a pretty color! We receive sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies along with a standard fitted version. The halter style with sweetheart neckline and scooped sides is a fun and flirty one that I quite enjoy.


Then we take a look at the delightful MONOMANIA - Kymy Juice gift for Fitmesh Fanatics. Its bare shouldered top and wrap mini skirt each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The russet orange hue of the top is mimicked in the roses on the dark denim skirt for a perfect pairing that certainly caught my eye.


Brunsen Couture has several wonderful gifts for various groups you can find by walking up their staircase, like this Lacone Sexy Dress Blue for FMF. It really does live up to that name, with bandeau top held up by a slender halter strap and lots of ruffles above that extra short hemline. The gift includes sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, and there are other colors among the group gifts as well as other styles altogether. Check them out and see if a group you're already in may have a treat available!


This cute outfit is the [FurtaCor Female] Elizandra Set gift, and yes the bonus beverage is included :) The top and skirt will each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes, all with a HUD that offers 14 textures for the top and 15 for the skirt. Some are denim, all are lovely :) I'm holding the coffee cup with sleeve in my right hand, and as you can see it has a nice bento hold pose so you don't spill a drop of your tasty pick-me-up. Just a note, there are many different groups' gifts in black bags on a low shelf so please camera your way across the row and find the logo for this group. That is also another good reason to remember which other multi-designer groups you're a part of already and see if you might have an extra treat waiting here.


My final look of the evening is the striking Entice - Love Shack Dress that has just been released at the current Cosmopolitan round, which is open until the 13th. There are 32 individual varieties for sale for $225L apiece, or you can select a fatpack (brights, denim, lights, or rays) which contain 8 of the individuals plus 2 fatpack exclusives for a total of 10 via HUD. These are $599L each so an impressive bargain, but for even more savings you can choose the MEGA fatpack for $1799L which is all 4 fatpacks on one HUD. No matter which you choose, you'll receive sizes for Dainty, Freya, Gen X, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The fatpack HUDs let you mix and match among the colors in three sections, like I did on the right above among the lights with the pale green and the white. I'm wearing one of the rays on the left, and it certainly does resemble rays of light :) I am marveling at the way this dress is sporty yet flirty, making it very versatile.

It was a bit of a rough day, as I alluded to a health issue yesterday without specifying (sparing gory details, honestly) but it is a cyst or abscess or something along those lines that seems to be infected. I guess run down is the best way to explain how I feel, not sick like a cold but I can tell my body is fighting something. I'll be at the dermatologist's office in 9 hours, which is probably going to be painful, and then I have a very unfortunately timed family birthday celebration at dinnertime. I cannot predict how I'll feel by then, but I really do need to go so at least it's not far at all. For these reasons I am not planning on blogging tomorrow evening, but *fingers crossed* I'll be back and healing on Thursday :) Meanwhile I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SpicySecrets Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to SpicySecrets, where the fashions are sometimes spicy but always well crafted and versatile. They have a free group for their store with several available gifts, as well as treats for other multi-designer groups that you might also be a part of already. So be sure to check that group gift wall thoroughly and see what groups you're already in to make sure you get all the goodies you can :) All of tonight's looks are for their store group, and some are even more flirty than the ones I am sharing (the spicy side!) so if that sounds like your style I welcome you to find yourself some new clothing and lingerie. Maybe to celebrate the new month?


My first look is the playful SS Rumi Set Ftp 3 gift, comprised of a separate top and jumpsuit each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 12 textures for each so we can mix and match. There are solids and patterns among the options which also helps to coordinate if you don't want to match all one solid color. I think it's a fun casual look for this time of year when it isn't consistently hot yet but we still have some toasty days among cooler evenings.


Next I slipped into the SS Claire Short Summer Dress Ftp.2 group gift, which has lots of options :) There are 5 standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, all with original and alpha versions which provides a slightly transparent fabric appearance. That is actually the one I'm wearing above and it is not immediately noticeable that it is a bit less than fully solid. As you can guess, we also get a HUD with 20 textures which are 10 prints and 10 solids. I was going to display one of each but then I clicked the one on the right, had a wild 70s flashback (still haven't quite remembered what it reminds me of though, too far back into the recesses of my memory) and just had to show it off too :) 


This beauty is our SS Thorra Dress 20 colors gift, a mini dress with 3/4 length sleeves and full short skirt, topped with a black leather belt/suspender combo and sheer black fishnet skirt layer. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes provided, plus a 20 color HUD so you can change up the look whenever you wish. I appreciate the ability to go bold and bright or softer to contrast the black trim more.


I also picked up a wonderful gift called [SS] Ritta Bodysuit Pack 3, a strapless suit with high cut legs and plentiful ruffles. In sizing for eBody Reborn, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim, this is bound to fit most very popular bodies and mods. You'll also find a texture HUD inside, with 20 terrific choices that are mainly various florals like the two seen above. I'm so happy I chose to share these during Spring!


My final look of the evening is another floral gem, the SS Winnie Dress Pack 2 group gift. It also includes quite an array of mesh body sizes - Altamura, eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Kups A, Kups B, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim. The texture HUD has 10 bloomingly beautiful textures with various shades of white/gray as the backdrop, to go with the built in white belt. I had a hard time deciding which two to share, since they all caught my eye, but there is something very romantic about the red and white roses as well as that pale pink against dove grey.

Quick hair note of the night: Truth Hair took part in the Saturday Sale again this past weekend, and I am not sure if the new Muse style I'm wearing tonight is still available for the sale price but should be with their new releases if not. I picked up the essential pack, since I seem to flip between auburn and blonde lately, and there are some style options including a knotted headband that I am not currently wearing. I found out by following them on flickr, and if you're a fan too then I recommend doing the same.

It was a rollercoaster of a day, as I'm having a medical issue that is rather awkward but needs attention so I am going to a doctor on Wednesday morning. This will probably mean no blog post on Wednesday, but I should be back the next day :) Sometimes RL interferes with SL, but I try my best to keep it from happening too often. This whole month is filled with weeks that will be missing a midweek post, thanks to the dental stuff too, so yay for a weird May? *shrug* I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Magical Spring Fair Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the Magical Spring Fair Hunt 3, a charity event at the Harambee-Gwassi location until the 10th of May. There are $3L prizes at the event in a magical unicorn hunt object, and lots of the designers are offering free gifts as well with no group tag needed. I always enjoy visiting here, and knowing that the proceeds are going towards helping education and generally improving the way of life in parts of Kenya where needed is a great incentive to shop and donate generously :) It is impressive to find so many thoughtful communities in SL that do what they can to benefit people who need a helping hand, from individuals facing sudden illnesses to entire countries in crisis. These designers are mostly familiar to me from prior rounds of this event or other happenings across the grid, so their high quality offers are wonderful and consistent with their talents.


My first look of the evening combines two terrific gifts found here for free :) The outfit is the Telsiope's Couture Ariadne gift, a boldly sensual top and skirt set in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies each. The strappy top has three chains draped across the bust, which are a nice match for the golden trim on the belt that is attached to our fluttery skirt. As for the body art, I'm also enjoying the Vera tattoo-THIRD EYE treat here which is a unisex tattoo on the chest and shoulders down to the elbows. We receive a BOM layer as well as Maitreya and Omega appliers, with a marking in the center that looks like the Eye of Horus surrounded by intricate linework. 


Another free gift you don't want to miss is the !AS!LADY OUTFIT from ANNE SILVER. The top and skirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, in a vibrant shade of red that looks to be very flattering on many different skin tones. The top has a front-crossed halter strap, and the skirt has a high waist band above the loosely wrapped front that is tied on the right mid-hip to show off lots of leg without revealing too much.


There are a few tops that deserve your attention, like this lovely ::Sweet Intoxication:: Zara Top - Honeysuckle gift. The pretty pink color looks great on the draped top that is gathered and tied in the front, with a bow there that matches the ones on each shoulder. This gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing and will go with all sorts of pants or skirts in your inventory.


I Love Lida has a cute free treat for us on the back wall of their display, called ILL Maria top Maitreya. Care to guess what size it is? ;) While it was created for the Maitreya Lara body, it is possible that it will fit other similar ones thanks to the loose fit. I paired it as with the prior gift with the blue Delizio jeans from their fatpack that is free on the marketplace. It has several different denim hues in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega. The blue pair here is about to make a third appearance in this post as well...


My final look of the evening is the ANTISOCIAL Tee free gift from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. It is a softly ribbed white knit tank top with the word ANTISOCIAL on two lines, with ANTI in pink and white stripes and SOCIAL a pretty teal with yellow dots. I can easily be mistaken for antisocial as I am rather shy and awkward before I get to know someone, and am not good at starting conversations, and if that makes me antisocial then this is the prettiest way I've seen in SL to wear that label :) The Bold Llama's tees are provided in 5 standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions, so this will fit most of us comfortably. 

This weekend felt odd, both longer and shorter than usual, as I am now confused because earlier I thought it was Monday already. Tonight I had a notice where I normally click to start a new blog post, that my last post was flagged as adult and will be behind a warning that needs to be clicked to continue. I am baffled because I didn't think having the word "sexy" in the title was enough to be considered adult, nor bikini shots without nipples or visible thongs, so I apologize if anyone got that warning and was either deterred or disappointed when it turned out to be a false alarm ;) I tested it while logged out and didn't see the warning though, so maybe it was an error. Otherwise my weekend was mostly good, as any day with kisses from a precious Boston terrier would be ♥. He and his human are regulars at the same farmers market I am, so I see them nearly every weekend and look forward to it very much. I know the dog's name but not the human's, LOL, which probably goes back to my social awkwardness. I hope you all enjoyed your weekends too, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
