Happy Anniversary Redeux

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to head over to the Redeux Event, where they are celebrating their 7th anniversary this round (April 16-30). There are gifts at nearly every display that you can claim with your free Redeux group tag, and everyone has special $50L offers as well as a selection of discounted items. I must say, April was a great month in SL for starting events, as so many have been enjoying their anniversaries this month :) I'm randomly pondering the pronunciation of redeux, as initially my American brain went re-ducks, then I realized it could be re-do. I did see a video once of SL folks trying to pronounce various store names and event names, and someone had the correct info and was keeping score. We're all so used to seeing the names in print rather then hearing them out loud :) Some of the designers here are ones I see quite often while others are less familiar, so it was a very nice mix for me.


The first outfit I tried on this evening is the stunning *SK* C a r l a RED Maitreya gift from Sweet Kajira. The top and skirt both fit the Maitreya Lara mesh body, as you probably guessed from the name, and are separate pieces. The wrapped skirt and playful top are wonderfully crafted, showing just enough skin, and such beautiful textures! 


Next I shimmied into my favorite Delizio jeans from the marketplace, handy to show off tops like this adorable Manikin - Q-Tees - Sun - Tank gift. The front says "Girls just wanna have sun" in a clever summery twist on the Cyndi Lauper song from my youth, and the soft pink hue is simply dreamy. There are sizes for Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Hourglass, Kupra, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. 


I'm also grateful to Faida for their lovely Angie paisley event gift :) This cropped tank top has sweet spaghetti straps and ruffle in solid mauve to go really well with the paisley of the main top, just an adorable shirt to wear this time of year or whenever you wish. The gift includes Cinnamon Chai, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Tonic Mini mesh body sizing. 


For this look I kept on the Delizio jeans and Faida top, but added something special from UNA. Their Olga Jaket Sky has a bleached denim appearance, very short cropped with 3/4 length sleeves and two versions so you can decide if you're in the mood to wear with or without gems. Both fit the Maitreya body, and this gift provides plenty of layering possibilities for your favorite tops or dresses. This seems like it can go either casual or more formal, so be creative and have fun!


The final look for this post comes from a collaboration of Velvet Whip and Faida, their charming [VW] & Faida - Naevia Rose dress. There are Legacy and Maitreya sizes provided of this one shouldered slip dress with handkerchief hemline and earth toned ombre. I really like the leafy pattern too, up top and at the hem. Sometimes we just need something that feels like it honors nature :) The rope belt is attached to really bring things together nicely.

It was a pretty good day here, and I successfully did an outing to a classic 1950s style diner to pick up dinner :) The food there is always tasty, and I grew up near the original location so it brings back fond memories. Not of the 50s as I'm not that old, LOL, but spent time there in the 80s and 90s. The drive was stressful but not full-blown panic attack, just high anxiety. I'm really trying my best. Tomorrow is dinner at my parents', and I'm looking forward to that as usual. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cosmo-versary Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we've got a part two of a part two, LOL, with another post of group gifts from Cosmopolitan Event's 12th anniversary. They do 2 rounds per month so both of April's are celebrations of their impressive achievement :) There are some designers from the first round and some fresh faces, many of which have new gifts which we can claim by clicking the wooden crates at their displays with the Cosmopolitan group tag active. It always makes me happy to see an event packed with high quality offers, and knowing their longevity makes it even more special to visit.


My first look of the evening is the stunning [ADD] Phyllis Dress - Yellow gift. The style is so flirty, with a single strap crossing over and some wedge cutouts down the left side, covering all the essentials yet giving tantalizing glimpses. It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 7 metals for studs and 10 colors for the built-in C-string, with options to turn both on/off and materials on/off. I also noticed after taking the photos that the very top options are latex or leather, so you've got two views of the latex here and you can see the leather for yourself when you claim this free treat :) I do apologize for not seeing it sooner, it's a pretty detailed HUD and I'm grateful for all the possibilities.


Next I changed into our HER - ELIS BODYSUIT, another irresistible gift that I am very thankful for. There are versions with and without sleeves included, each in sizing for Erika, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The high cut leg makes for a thong styling for the bottom, and the sleeves still leave a bare wedge on the shoulders for an extra bit of showing off ;)


MELODY is offering their sexy CHIARA FATPACK dress as the gift for this round, and I'm loving it! The shredded sections add such a playful touch, and the vibrant colors we get to choose from make it even more special. There are 20 colors via HUD, and the dress itself comes in sizes for Kalhene, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies.


I've been trying to figure out what celebrity this gift reminds me of, with no luck yet...any thoughts? :) It is our [Din] Micol Dress/Cardigan/Panties gift, and those are 3 separate pieces so you can wear them all or just one or two if you prefer. They are provided in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD to turn on or off the materials and shine. The bodice looks like it's held up by magic, lol, and the cardigan is just a mini shrug but with long sleeves that flare slightly at the wrists. Such an intriguing look!


My final look of the evening is [seeker]_Greta_Palette4, a truly beautiful outfit that is also ours for free with that Cosmopolitan group tag. The top and skirt each come in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kupra Jelly Belly, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu sizes, with an on/off HUD for the slightly darker middle section of the top. The skirt has two bold openings on the left hip, and there are so many great details on both pieces! I'm a fan of the pastel green and teal for spring, and the style also seems summery, so this is going to come in very handy for the foreseeable future. 

My day turned out to be quieter than I expected, as the housemate is not feeling well so no outing again. I need to get 2 in before Sunday, so I'm starting to run out of days here. This is generally how things go around here, plans get changed and postponed a lot, so I am not surprised but perhaps a little frustrated. Otherwise I'll be checking out another event's anniversary round, and have a few groups' gifts in mind to share soon too. Lots to do and enjoy in SL this month :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cosmo Anniversary Part 2

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was excited to visit the second half of the Cosmopolitan event's anniversary month rounds, as there are two brief rounds each month and they are celebrating during both :) The group is free to join, and its tag lets you claim a few dozen generous gifts by clicking the wooden crates at many of the displays. There are some different designers participating in this round, so most of the gifts are new; while I did notice a couple of repeats, that will give people a chance to claim them if they missed the first round in April. Overall though I recommend visiting again even if you were here earlier in the month, as there are plenty of new offerings and gifts to tempt us.


My first look of the evening is our [hh] Luxe Dress gift from Hilly Haalan. There are versions with and without materials, each in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Prima, and Reborn mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 40 lovely colors each for the main dress and the bow in the front, so of course I had some fun with that :) I went earthy on the left and bright on the right, but there are pastels and neutrals available too so whatever suits your mood.


Blackstone is helping us celebrate in style with their stunning Mallory Dress - Copper Rose gift. This strapless V neckline mini dress has a built in belt with bold buckle, in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. There is also a HUD with 15 colors for the belt and 6 metals for the buckle and zipper. What a great shade of pale pink, and an unforgettable style!


Switching gears to a more casual loungewear look, we have the MeHoney - Taira bodysuit - Gift. How will you remember who created it? Well it tells you right across the bust in a fun script font :) I really like the contrast of blousy top and tight bottom, and let's not forget the peachy color that instantly caught my eye. This gift contains Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Maitreya X, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 


Next I slid into the [FLIRT] Celine swimsuit gift, which certainly makes me want to slide into the hot tub at the skybox I share with Xan for some bubbly fun! The knit top and thong bottom will both fit Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. The dark chocolate hue and all those long loose bows help make this a head-turner, don't ya think?


My final look of the night is the sizzling Limited Addiction - Jelly Suit GIFT, and I can't wait to tell you about all the details! Our bodysuit and studs are separate pieces so you can wear the suit with or without studs, all in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. There is also a HUD with 6 metal tones to choose from if you wear the stud layer. The bows and the wild openings are such fun details, and I am such a fan of the color and the playful honeycomb pattern.

I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Bunny Still Evil

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have more Evil Bunny Hunt 14 hunt prizes to see, all just $1L each and found in either nice eggs or evil eggs. The nice eggs are white with angel wings and halo, while the red evil eggs have black demon wings and horns. Some stores have one of each, and a few even have multiples beyond just one or the pair, so the website is where to find out what you're looking for :) The site also guides with the landmarks, hints, and preview images, so it is important to have it open while you hop down the hunt trail this month.


For my first look of the evening, I headed to [Nirvana Fashion] to find the nice egg containing their Female Easter Outfit - Lora 1 prize. The short sleeved shirt with bunny face and slender fit jeans are each provided in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. A similar outfit for men is provided in the same egg :) The adorable face of the bunny really drew me to this prize, and honestly I don't feel they are limited to Easter or even spring.


The Undiscovered Jewel has two hidden eggs, evil and nice, and I went with my instincts to share the nice egg's prize tonight. The ~J~ Bun Bun Bikini is provided in a one-piece version and separate top and bottoms, all in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The sky blue background is delightful to show off some comfy little bunnies, and the style of the string bikini is playful yet relatively modest. As for the evil egg, it has a similar bikini inside but with a different pattern...one that matches the egg's colors as a matter of fact.


I always enjoy visiting Artic Storm, whether it's for random shopping, midnight mania boards upstairs and down, or a hunt prize :) In this case, we're admiring their *AS* Bethann Leather Dress Golden outfit, which we can find inside a nice egg. The dress comes in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu, with BOM layer black stockings and BOM golden panty. I love having the extra layers for modesty and to accentuate the legs, and I'm a big fan of the halter style dress with its partly bared midriff and fun zipper on the back of the skirt. 


Next I headed to @AdReNaLiZeD@ for their nice egg containing this beautiful Lula Electric prize. The dress and panty (not visible here but I promise they're under there, lol) are each included in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn body sizing. The belt is attached and brings the buckle total to three, thanks to the front and back of our neckline being similarly adorned. The texture almost made me think of flames at first, but the name led me back to lightning or an electrical current. After all, it is sizzlingly sexy!


My final look of the evening comes from DANI, also known as Designs by Danielle. They have a nice egg for us that hides their Jeans Shorts and Bubble Top Peach Dots outfit, which is just dreamy for the spring and summer. The strapless top and cute shorts each fit Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The polka dot material appearing on the pockets of the shorts is a lovely touch, really pulling the outfit together perfectly. We can easily dress this up or down, depending on the jewelry we add and the footwear we select to pair with it. 

It was a decent day here, with a repaired garage door and a fair amount of rest which always helps :) I am excited about my next few blog posts, which will include more prizes from this hunt and another event anniversary, so it's safe to say that April is continuing to be generous and fun in SL. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hippity Hoppity Time

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to explore the Hippity Hoppity Hunt, which is the spring holiday hunt event at Malus Park. The zen gardens, memorial garden, refuge, and oceanside dock in the southwest corner of the region are all in play as places for the variously colored eggs to be hidden, and we have lots of great designers who've carefully placed these eggs for $25L or less for us to find :) I always have a wonderful time visiting Malus Park, and you can find some info and the hunt keys on the park's website. Region hunts are fun for being a one-stop shopping kind of situation, for those days when SL gets cranky and doesn't want to let you teleport to multiple places in one login session (yes, that is the voice of years of experience) but you still want to find affordable treats from a variety of designers. The hunt runs until the 30th of April, so we have just over 2 weeks to enjoy.


[Ari-Pari] is the mastermind, or master of ceremonies, behind our hunt, so it's no surprise that the designer Ariana has some fantastic prizes awaiting :) There are in fact 5 eggs of hers, for $5L apiece, and I've got two of their prizes on in my first photo. The April Outfit - Lemon is our skirt set on the left, with the Sky version appearing to the right. Each consists of the top and skirt, both in sizes for Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The top has a cute Peter Pan style collar and 3/4 length sleeves, just right for weather that can still have cool days and evenings. As for the skirt, well I cannot resist a crisply pleated plaid and especially in pastel hues :)


I randomly chose 2 more of those five treats, so I'm wearing the [Ari-Pari] April Outfit - Peach on the left and [Ari-Pari] April Outfit - Sage on the right. These are provided in the same sizing as the two above, and I have to recommend picking up more than one if you like to mix things up :) I generally enjoy doing that whenever an outfit allows by being separate pieces in more than one color, just a fun potential bonus.


Next we see one of the delightfully clever prizes from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co., this one being their HIP HOP BUNNY Tee. The egg is just $10L and contains an unpacker HUD with their new size set, 5 standard mesh sizes as well as versions for eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. Just click the brand you want delivered, and hang onto the HUD for future reference :) I'm almost embarrassed to admit I used to delete the sizes I thought I'd never use, which I eventually regretted so having this style of HUD would have been so handy.


These two prizes are also from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. as you can tell, and at just $5L each they are so irresistible! On the left you see the DANDELION WISHES Tee, a perfect choice for spring with "Butterfly Kisses Dandelion Wishes" on the front adorned with the mentioned items. They show up beautifully against the burgundy (or is it maroon?) background, don't you think? The goodie on the right is our SHADY BEACH Tee prize, which gave me a sly chuckle. I spent many summer days enjoying sunny beaches, and a shady one would have made me expect rain or at least storm clouds like I've had in my RL area far too often lately. Both of these prizes are provided with the same unpacking HUD and sizes as the Hip Hop Bunny one, and I'm wearing my favorite Delizio jeans in both photos in blue. That is a marketplace fatpack freebie that I wind up wearing here quite frequently, as BOM and the appliers (Omega and Maitreya) in several colors offer such versatility.


Do your nails need a little love this season? Trick question since they always need and deserve love ♥. If you find both of the backSTORY eggs for just $10L each, you can dress up your digits in these glittery goodies. The top portion of the photo shows the Easter Glitter Nails - Pink & Silver, and the lower part with my left hand is the Easter Glitter Nails - Pink & Gold set. Each has a fantastic manicure of sparkly lavender with metallic accent nails and French tips, on mesh nails in a flattering square shape. These will fit Belleza, Gen X, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn hands, just hide the nails with the body's HUD and add your new mesh tips :) I think the length is just right for the shape, and the style works so well for our SL hands which tend to have slender and shapely fingers.

It was a wet and wild weekend, lol, thanks to lots of storms rolling through the area both days. I managed to go out twice when it was clear though, a Saturday outing and my Sunday therapy session. I did okay with both, nothing too terrible, and I have a couple of trips planned for the coming week. I've got a few potentials for upcoming blogs too, so my SL adventures are not strictly planned but at least in the idea stages :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts for Third Life

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings us to several stores who are a part of the Third Life group, for some very thoughtful group gifts. There is a small $10L fee to join the group, to encourage us to stay a member (we'd have to pay again to rejoin) and also to ensure that no scammers get in. Nobody wants to see people begging for lindens or posting fake links in a group chat, so I'm grateful for the protection. I'm also grateful for the information shared in the group notices, and of course all the treats I'm about to show you!



First up, we have the lovely AXE-DRESS GIFT GROUP THIRD LIFE. The partly unbuttoned boyfriend shirt style dress has a wide laced belt just in the front, black against white for maximum impact :) There are sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies provided. 


Another terrific gift is our MOoH! Bridget Dress. This flirty scrunched dress and separate panties are each provided in Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizes. There's also a HUD as I'm sure you can tell, with 10 colors for each piece :) I know you can't see the panties here, but they are bikini briefs style so they do provide a nice amount of modesty. If you left click the vendor and choose 'deliver' with no results as I did, please try right clicking and paying $1L which will be automatically refunded while the gift is delivered.


Next let's visit ~CAROLA~ where their dress M-2318 gift will put some pizzazz in our weekend :) It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with 16 colors to choose from via HUD. It's loaded with details too, like the lacy bust (yes, there is some show-through), peekaboo midriff opening, and side slits held in place by a single strap on each hip. Depending on where you go, you may want to consider layering a bra or pasties beneath to hide the nips, wow I really struggled to find a better word than nipples but *shrug* I think we're all adults here and probably all have our very own in RL and SL. 


We can also steam things up with the ABBY SET by BA Store GIFT, one of several groups' gifts upstairs at Black Angel Store. The bra and panties each fit Belleza X Classic, Belleza X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, in a stunning lilac latex with just the right amount of shine. Will you wear this as a bikini or lingerie? I vote both!


My final look this evening is the .::PC::. "Pamela" Dress - Grey GG from PiNK CHERRY. There is a large wall of shelves with gift packages on them, so you'll need to camera up to the top to find the Third Life gift here :) Also might be a good idea to check for other groups you are also a member of, eh? Pamela comes in G and S versions which turned out to be gold or silver for the link connecting collar to strap, and the sleeves are a separate attachment so we can wear the dress with or without. All of these pieces fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. I was immediately drawn to the panther pattern of rosettes, monochromatic and so striking. 

It was a rainy day here off and on, so I didn't go out until dinnertime which was just a few blocks away at my parents' place. It was nice, with tasty food and good company, so I am glad I went :) The weekend should be fairly busy thanks to an outing tomorrow and therapy the next day, so I wish I didn't feel so tired already. It'll be fine, I just have to keep muddling through. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Glamorous Like Hollywood

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're taking another look (well, several) at the Hollywood Glamour 2 Hunt by Cheeky Monkey Hunts. There are so many terrific prizes, from $1L treats to $25L and $50L exclusives, all hidden in flat prim images of a yellow gold star with blue camera icon on them. Each designer chooses how many items to provide and which prices, so check the website for all the details :) They have landmarks, hints, prices, and preview images to guide us along the hunt path so we know what we'd like to claim. I always recommend having hunt websites open while you check them out, and that's why I make sure to link them. For Hollywood Glamour we have until the end of the month, so whatever catches your eye you do have time to find :)


My first look this evening, from The Sissy Bar, is so spot on for our theme, don't you think? The (TSB) Hollywood Glamour Hunt gown is a strapless full length beauty with mermaid styling, with sequined texture in various shades of purple which makes me think royalty. There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies provided, all for just $1L when you find their star.


@AdReNaLiZeD@ is our next stop, with a trio of prizes that are one of each possible price. This is their gorgeous $50L Victoria Heat gown, an exclusive offer so you won't want to miss it :) We receive standard mesh sizes as well as Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. I love the way the neckline creates a dramatic collar in the front, and that great keyhole opening in the back ensures that you look just as sizzling hot leaving as you do arriving.


The @AdReNaLiZeD@ Angelique Gold dress is their $25L exclusive, and it is absolutely glamorous with a strong dose of sex appeal. It fits Belleza Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, SQB Curvy, eBody Reborn, Erika, Khara, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, and Prima Busty mesh bodies. There are dramatic plunges both front and back, and the halter neckline is tied at the back with slender tails draped down the bare back. Have I mentioned the stunning sequins on the texture?


One more star at @AdReNaLiZeD@, their $1L prize is this amazing Bridgette Red Sparkle dress. My first thought was Marilyn Monroe, not that I've ever seen photos of her wearing this exact gown but she would definitely have looked incredible in it :) That daring side slit, just wow! There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh bodies included in our prize. 


For my final look of the evening, we return to The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. for their $50L exclusive offer, the wonderful HOLLYWOOD BOOP Tee. This lovely lady is a classic example of the epitome of glamour, with her perfect curls and delicately arched brows, sweet pout and fantastic figure. In the image on this tank top, she is in signature red with a jaunty hat, showing us the lights of Hollywood can't even compete with her shine. This prize is provided as an unpacker HUD with standard mesh sizes along with eBody Classic, Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. Deliver the one you need now, and hold onto that HUD for future reference so your inventory doesn't get overloaded. I mentioned returning because I'd already shared two of their 3 prizes this round, but couldn't resist any excuse to share more!

It is a stormy night so I am feeling a bit nervous, wondering if the power will go out at all. When I looked at twitter during the hockey game I was watching, I saw OJ Simpson trending and realized just how many people were downright gleeful over his passing, so many jokes! I think it's a good lesson to live life in such a way that people will actually be sad when you leave it. I hope you're all having a good day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
