Hollywood Glamour Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're star searching with the CMH Hollywood Glamour 4 Hunt. That's because our hunt object is a star like the Hollywood Walk of Fame tiles, with a movie film camera in the center rather than a celeb name. They each contain either a $1L hunt prize or an exclusive offer from $25L - $50L, designer's choice as to which and how many they wish to provide. Glamour leaves itself open to such broad interpretation, and the designers have done a fantastic job as always :) If you've ever known someone who always looks glam even if they are in jeans and an old t-shirt, you might agree that it is a state of mind rather than any one singular look. Be sure to have the Cheeky Monkey Hunts website open to guide you with their location links, prices, hints, and previews!

First we see the wonderful $1L GoodVibes Hollywood Glamour Casual Tank prize. The pretty teal fabric has a playful pattern of things like popcorn, film cameras, and music notes with the word Hollywood scattered about. We receive sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. I really like the way the hem is cropped but fluttery, so not an overly snug fit but very flattering.

Just right for the upcoming cooler weather, Starlight Apparel has their .{SA}. Lottie Yellow & Black Crop Sweater as a $1L prize. There are fluffy and non-fluffy versions included (NF = non fluffy, on the right above) each in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Animal prints always make me smile, and this style with the lifted right side is extra flirty ;) Please note I am wearing the nipple covers that came with my skin, so to hide your nips you may need something similar or even a BOM bra for modesty.

Now we knew that The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. would be offering some fantastic looks for this round, and as usual they deserve gold stars! Their $1L treat is the UNPAID ACTOR Tee I'm wearing here, which says "Unpaid Background Actor" on the front and made me chuckle. I kinda feel that way in RL sometimes ;) Their cozy tank tops are provided in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. Fortunately it's on an unpacker HUD so you are just clicking the brand you need, and you can hold onto that for future use.

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. NO AUTOGRAPHS Tee is their $50L exclusive for this hunt, and I'm a huge fan of the breezy, sassy attitude! The gorgeous starlet on the front is adjusting her sunglasses while saying "No Autographs Please", and I'm picturing her flashing a sparkly smile before flipping her hair and sauntering off :) The same sizes I mentioned in the prior image's description apply here as well, and it's a good time to mention that so far I've been wearing the white Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack gift in all of these photos. They're free and versatile, so I am a grateful fan.

Okay, so perhaps your idea of glam is more focused on the dressy side of fashion...please allow my final look of the evening to dazzle you then :) The Blink2Wink - Marlene Set CMH is their $1L hunt prize (not to be confused with the $50L exclusive that is a fatpack of this stunning style in dozens of colors) and I love the way the green looks with the golden threads woven through. The dress and the sleeves are separates, each in traditional and PBR texturing (PBR is on the left above), all provided in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. It could just be from the colors, but the tulip sleeves make this remind me of a fairy or wood nymph :) 

I'll be taking the evening off from blogging tomorrow because I have plans that will take up most of my day, not leaving me time for taking photos and notes to prepare a post. I'm excited to go to Trader Joe's and see what they have for fall though, and to drop by my parents' to give my mom her birthday card and gift on time :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

12 Years of SWANK

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a celebration of the SWANK Event and their 12th anniversary. With their free group tag active, you can claim gifts from over 200 booths by clicking the gold and glass globes. I'm so grateful for all of these generous treats, and excited that they've been bringing us the best of these designers for a dozen years! This is a part one, as throughout the month I will be sprinkling some more of these goodies into my posts to continue to tempt you into visiting. 

For my first look of the evening, I selected one of 3 gifts I found from V8 Underground. The **ABYZOU X DEMON CONCEPT COSTUME COMPLETE OUTFIT** is ideal for Halloween (which will be here before we know it) as classic demon or devil attire. The dress, collar, and boots are all provided in Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn body sizes. Then we can add the horns, tail, fork, and animated wings, which include an on/off HUD for their flapping motions. There are BOM layers included of the Lelutka EVOX makeup and gloves/panties/pantyhose that I'm wearing here. The accessories are adjustable, and the fingerless lace gloves look great with the fishnet stockings :) I hope I find some costume events to attend since their other gifts (stay tuned for future posts) are similarly seasonal.

I wound up with 2 gifts from purplemoon, and they do seem to be intended to be worn together :) The :: pm :: Phoebe Top -blue- includes the sleeves separate from the top, both in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn bodies. Isn't the intricate design on the top and the upper part of the sleeves stunning? It reminds me of a mandala, and looks so pretty against the full lace sleeves. We can wear it either way with the lovely :: pm :: Phoebe Skirt -blue- which wraps around and is held in place by a wide belt. There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes included, along with a metals HUD offering 6 options to adjust the color. Since the top and skirt are separates, I will happily pair them with other staples of my wardrobe from time to time, because why not? :)

If you have a pool or want to visit the beach, be sure to claim our Sassima: GIFT BAE BIKINI - PINK group gift to help you look your best :) The bra and panties will each fit Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and have an eye-catching floral pattern with matching hot pink trim. I must admit that I feel like a rock star in this sexy little number!

Next I've slipped into the Ruxy-Criss V2 Dress Lara X gift. We all deserve a new little black dress from time to time, and this one is a flirty strapless style with extra short gathered skirt tied on the left thigh. It has been designed for just one specific body as per the name, but there is a chance that you could get it to fit a similarly proportioned one with some alpha adjustments or even tweaking your shape.

My final look tonight is the fantastic [Witch In A Box] Doe Lunar Outfit. This gift looks like separates at first glance but they're linked to wear as one piece. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu bodies included. The images of the various moon phases across the front are lovely, and the bold black bow adds a really fun touch that I appreciate :) I'm also impressed by the bubble style of both top and skirt, which I definitely don't see in combination like this very often. 

Is it naptime yet? LOL, sorry - no idea why I am feeling drowsy tonight but I'm sure I will perk up while I'm in SL later. Chatting with Xan always helps too, and he is very forgiving if I find myself yawning because he knows it's not from the company :) I didn't do anything unusual or tiring. There are so many things happening in SL this month, and I am up to my eyeballs in Twisted cubes lately so you can expect to see those hunt prizes shortly. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Feeling Sassy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was indeed feeling a little sassy, so I visited the *BSASSY* store to see what's new there. Their group is free to join, and the first gift you'll find is in front of the desk on the main/first floor. Then you can either walk up 2 flights of stairs or use the teleporter board to go to the third floor, where there is an entire room dedicated to group gifts :) I've shared some before and will probably do so in the future too, but since there are monthly gifts going back to 2018 there are plenty of options whenever I do. This store is a longtime favorite for their wide range of styles and their generosity. 

We're starting the post with the newest gift that I mentioned being the one located on the main floor, called *BSASSY* AUG 26 GG COMPLETE OUTFIT. The fun part is that this entire outfit is one piece, from top to flowing pants to even the footwear :) The gift includes Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. 

Up on the 3rd floor I found a similarly easy to wear treat, the *BSASSY* GROUP GIFT MAY 26 JUMPER AND HEELS. It's another all in one outfit, and comes in the same sizes as the first one I shared. This time we have a sleek halter neckline, mauve belt, and the shoes are hard to see in these photos but they are light mauve to match the belt. I can't resist the ability to put on an entire outfit at once with just a couple of clicks :) 

*BSASSY* FEB 26 GROUP GIFT DRESS AND BOM STOCKINGS is just the right gift if you need something sexy to wear just about anywhere. The dress comes in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, while the fishnet stockings with side seams are a BOM layer. The vines with pink hearts decorating them are a fun nod to Valentine's Day since it was a February gift, but not something that would prevent you from wearing them any other time of year. The stockings come down to our ankles, so that might influence your choice of footwear; I'm thinking boots if you want to hide that bottom seam or high heels to accentuate it. 

Next I switched into the *BSASSY* JULY 25 GROUP GIFT DRESS, a soft beige beauty with bare shoulders and a short skirt with sheer polka-dotted layer. I love the way that top layer matches the puffy sleeves, very cute touch! Open this gift and you'll find Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu body sizes inside. 

It's fairly unusual for me to have an entire blog post with all neutral colors, and it wasn't intentional but I am still getting a kick out of it :) Our final look here is called *BSASSY* JANUARY 25 GROUP GIFT DRESS, and has lots of lace to soften the edges of the dark black coloring. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. The bodice and sleeves have an embossed look to their lace, while the skirt is trimmed in an open weave of a different style that certainly caught my attention :)  The short hem will probably attract others' attention as well, a different story indeed.

Whew, it was chilly in here but now it is starting to get warm again, so weird. My weekend was busy but good, starting with the very enjoyable farmers market trip Saturday. There was an occasional vendor who made an unscheduled appearance, so surprise pierogis, yay! Therapy was decent, and I've got a few things planned for the upcoming week that should be helpful. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Simply the Best

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we get to see some wonderful gifts for the Best stores and designers group, which is free to join. The notices are full of helpful info about new releases and special sales, while all the participating designers have the option to put a gift out in their main store for the group. It's always exciting to explore and see what's new in all of these locations, whether they are new to me or old favorites.

For my first look I've visited ~Rany~ and happily claimed their Wella Outfit FATPACK gift. Its corset and pants are all packed by color (black, blue, nude, peach, violet, and yellow for each) in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. I'm wearing the blue corset and peach pants on the left, with the black corset and violet pants making an appearance on the right :) You can easily wear either piece with other items in your inventory too, so they are quite versatile as well as stylish.

As a matter of fact I'm wearing the black pants from the Rany gift here with our *Arcane Spellcaster* Top Katyna bright Red gift. It is truly lovely with that halter style and ruffled lace band to match the pretty little collar. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies included. Please note that there are many other colors of this cutie for various other groups, so if red isn't your favorite color or you just want to collect them all (I wouldn't blame you!) see if you are a member of any of the other groups.

If you stop by [Diesel Deluxe] you can pop into their gift room for the Melani Outfit Top + Skirt 10. This fun look is actually worn as one piece with different textures on the top and skirt sections, each adorned with white bows that add a little something special. We receive Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu sizes in this thoughtful gift. Again there are many gifts available here for various groups, so have fun checking them all out!

I absolutely could not resist sharing the ART & FASHION - DEMONS MINI DRESS gift once I read the front! It reads "I have the power to conquer all my demons." and believe me, I can only hope that I personally do. The calming shades of blue are making me think of the sky, freeing and wide open to possibilities :) Our dress has crisp rectangular cutouts and comes in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. 

My final look of the night can be all yours for visiting V8 Underground with the group tag active. It's called **DINA HABISHI SALMON RISQUE STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT** and can help us hold onto summer a little longer with a fun tropical feel. The bra, panties, skirt, and heels are all provided in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and we also receive a HUD with solid and pattern options for each piece. I love the salmon color, both as the solid hue and as the background color for our gorgeous floral pattern. The fans in the design make me think it's an Asian nod, and they just generally add to the beauty. 

Are we all ready for the weekend? I think I am, and the farmers market tomorrow will be relatively quiet (no food truck) but one of my favorite vendors will be back after her Alaskan cruise. I can't wait to hear all about it :) Dinner with my parents was nice, and I'll have to wait and see if they decide to go to the farmers market when I do since they might skip it this week. I hope you all have an amazing weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Treats from Melody

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am pleased to share that the Melody store's group is currently free to join, with lots of generous gifts waiting for us. I feel like it is usually free during December because of their Advent calendar, so now I'm curious if they just took away the fee early or if they are planning something else sooner. Either way, I would hurry on over if you like what you see :) Obviously I appreciate their generosity and am always pleased to freshen up my wardrobe.

For my first look I chose the lovely Melody Venus Fat Pack group gift. Its top and skirt each fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. There is also a pair of HUDs, one for solid colors and one for a pattern of hearts, each offering 20 colors each for the skirt, top, and skirt fringe. I love being able to mix things up like this, and hearts will always catch my attention.

The MELODY KARLA FATPACK BOX UPDATE gift is a stunning dress with intriguing style, and I suggest you check to see if you've got a previous version since it mentions an update (could be more colors or sizes). There are sizes for Kalhene, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies, and the gift also includes a HUD to select from 20 solid colors and 10 patterns. I tend to show off the patterns more than solids, simply because it's easier for you to visualize a solid color than be able to tell precisely what the patterns will look like. Different moods will lead me to either equally :) Although I must say, that snakeskin pattern I found on the left above is hot!

Next I slipped into the MELODY CINTIA FATPACK gift. This dress has so many fantastic details, like the crossed straps and underbust opening, but the sheer panels both front and back of the skirt are noteworthy because of the HUD :) That offers 20 solid colors and 20 patterns each for the dress and sheer panels, so we've got plenty of ways to explore our creativity. We receive Erika, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn body sizes in this treat.

So I may have gotten a little pattern-happy here, LOL, but no regrets ;) The Melody Arielle// FATPACK dress can be textured in your choice of 20 solids or 20 patterns via HUD, and comes in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. I'm definitely a "floral all year long" type of person, and the pink cat heads made me think of my favorite Hello Kitty ♥.

One final peek of the evening, we have the MELODY SALMA FATPACK outfit :) The top, belt, and pants are separates in sizes for Erika, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. As you can tell, there is also a HUD enclosed, offering 20 colors for each piece. I'm always drawn to halter tops, and the dip of the pants waistline works perfectly with the style of the belt. There's something classic and intriguing about flare pantlegs too, but these are not your momma's bellbottoms ;)

Well, my dental visit went decently and my filling is safely replaced. It was a front-ish tooth, canine I believe, and somehow in the numbing process we got exactly half of my nose numb too. Weirdly the numbness decided to stick around for over 8 hours, which makes it scary to eat because you don't want to nibble on a numb lip. All good now, and I had fun chatting with friends for our gaming night so I am just stressed about the storms ripping through my area yet again. It has been a rough summer for thunderstorms, which makes me wonder what winter will be like. I'm glad I have dinner with my parents to look forward to tomorrow :) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Newest from Blackstone

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post bring us back to Blackstone for their newest group gifts in the box that is special for their anniversary. Their group has returned to $100L to join today (after I took these photos and notes) so I do hope you were able to join when it was just $25L. However it is still quite a bargain, knowing there are over 50 group gifts and 5 lucky boards with two prizes in each that we can win for free with that group tag. Tonight's featured group gifts are all from the new box next to the birthday sign, above all the other gifts (6 other packages on shelves under the stairs) that I am sure you will enjoy too :) Many congratulations to Blackstone on their 7 years of bringing wonderful fashions to SL!

Let's start with a sunny hued group gift called Blackstone - Brenda Set - Yellow. It consists of the dress, bra top, and thong panties you see above, all in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. There is also a HUD enclosed with 6 metals for the decor on the dress, which really adds a playful touch :) The dress is just loose enough to fit over the bikini, so it would be easy to wear the full outfit to the beach or a pool and then slip off the dress before diving into the water. The loose weave of the dress gives it a warm summery feeing too, great for any chance to recreate your favorite vacation memories.

The Blackstone - Erika Set - Marine group gift is a sweet pairing of blouse and skirt that feels just right for fall. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies included for each, as well as a HUD that offers 15 colors apiece for the blouse and buttons. The skirt stays its lovely dark blue shade, and we can play around with the colors of its buttons and the intriguing blouse with its notches above each elbow. So pretty!

There are so many gorgeous shades of pink, but the Blackstone - Amora Set - Copper Rose group gift might be in my favorite of the moment ;) The wispy top, open front skirt, and panties are all provided in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies, and there's a HUD that lets us choose from 20 colors for the laces and 6 for the metals. The top is laced in the back just like the skirt's front only tighter, and both laced areas have rivets which is where the metal comes in. 

Next I changed into the fun and fuzzy Blackstone - Vada Set - Malibu group gift. Is it weird that it makes me want to pet myself like a puppy? LOL! I actually used to do that to my ex when he wore a microsuede (?) jacket, just kept stroking his arms and shoulders until he laughed and teased me about it. This is more of a fleece look on our cropped jacket and skirt, which both fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The color reminds me of the sky during a mostly clear day, as I could see the texture as being tiny wispy clouds drifting along in a refreshing breeze. My brain really wakes up when I see colors or textures that I love :)

My final look feels so right for the start of September which brings us one big step closer to spooky season. The Blackstone - Arania Set - Plum group gift We start with a high cut bodysuit decorated in cobwebs, over which we can layer a micro miniskirt with attached belt. Each of these comes in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies, and the HUD included offers 20 colors for the belt and 4 metals. There is an impressive amount of metalwork here, so the HUD is certainly going to come in handy.

Happy September, everyone! I love when the month changes and all the hunts and events in SL get fresh starts. Today was quiet as I mentally prepare for tomorrow's filling redo, since I just love going back to the dentist 🙄. It is necessary and I am the one who brought it to their attention since the jagged edge kept snagging in the inside of my lip, and I will truly be glad to have that repaired. I'll be ready with soft foods and ibuprofen on the off chance it's needed, plus perhaps an extra half dose of an as-needed medication. No blog of course, as nitrous makes my brain even fuzzier and more prone to rambling ;) I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Fabulous Freebies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was feeling the urge to visit some FabFree in SL participating stores, because there are always wonderful new group gifts being added all the time. The group (inworld representation of their amazing blog) is free to join, so these won't cost a thing :) The FabFree group has a permanent place among my group slots, and I am so grateful for how they have guided me all through my SL experience which will be 19 years in a few days. (Wow!) You never know what treasures you can find on their blog, so I do recommend it for everyone who enjoys saving money in SL.

Our first visit is to FTCOR, where the :::FurtaCor::: Andy Set waits for any FabFree member. The tube top and laced pants are each provided in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, and there is also a HUD that offers 15 colors apiece for the top, top laces, pants, and pants laces. I love the ability to mix and match, and the flashes of skin make this a flirtatious treat indeed.

I feel so adorable in our gift from :.C!L.: Boutique called Nephele Dotty White Sweater Shorts & Bow Set :) The polka dotted sweater falls just above the belly button, and is a loose cozy fit that is suitable for most times of the year. Paired with the pleated and cuffed shorts, we've got an elegant yet playful outfit that does make me think of autumn evenings. Each of these will fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. Of course the sunny yellow bow I'm wearing here on my head is included too, and you can even adjust it by clicking it to access the resize script.

Another fun way to turn heads is by wearing the Violet Skies - Anja Dress Blue Gift like I am here. Shiny tiger striped blue fabric is already a fantastic start, but then we add the draped chain belt and get va-va-va-VOOM! The style of the dress is essential too, and this one has a bare back and sexy cutouts, so we get to show off cleavage. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu sizes included in this great gift.

The "VOOH" FABFREE GROUP GIFT #20 DRESS is my next look, a stunning minidress with spaghetti straps and a deep neckline. The gift includes sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 40 texture options, some solids and plenty of intriguing patterns in loads of fun colors. 

My final look of the evening is our .:FlowerDreams:. Nadia dress. This is a great choice for a hot date, or to attract a hot date ;) It is provided in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite Sizes, with panties in the same set of sizing. There's also a HUD of course, and that has 14 options for the dress and 8 colors for the lace panties. I must admit that the shiny metallic ones caught my eye first, but this dress looks good in any texture.

It was a busy day and a good evening so far, starting with a support group session that I found quite useful. It's nice to talk to people who can understand the battles against anxiety and how it affects so many aspects of life. We can feel safe to laugh, cry, and share things we can't always with friends or family. The weather is still pretty hot here, as a matter of fact it's 75.5 in my office right now which is not ideal. We need fall to get here soon :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
