Happy FLF-o-Ween

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's a pleasure to invite you to the FLF-o-Ween '26 shopping event, brought to us by Fifty Linden Fridays. You probably already know and love the weekly sales, since there are so many impressive designers who take part each week at their mainstores. This is all in one location though, special discounted items and free gifts for the FLF group in pumpkin buckets in front of the booths. They can be orange, purple, or green, all carved with the very traditional jack-o-lantern face in black. Just give each one a click and the treats will roll in :) We have just over 2 weeks left so plenty of time to visit, try out some demos, and make some purchases while you grab all the seasonal treats.

Our -Pixicat- Phoebe Dress (Bats) gift is a great choice for the spooky season with a flirty twist. I love the way the straps in the back meet in the middle, giving slight spiderweb vibes while accentuating the graceful lines of the neck and back. The dress comes in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Our dark purple hue makes the black bats a little more subtle, and the bare shoulders are a playful contrast for the long flared sleeves.

This beauty is the LEROY - Vivian Dress - Black gift which is one of 3 gifts at their booth. They've put out one pumpkin of each color so please click them all :) I'm so fond of Basque waist style dresses, that dropped V waist that had a huge moment in the 80s and I've honestly been eager for a comeback! Combine that with the buttoned front and sweetheart neckline trimmed in ruffles, and I'm a very happy magpie. There are Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included in the gift.

Next I decided to accessorize another LEROY gift with an amazing pair of wings. The Margot Dress - Purple gift has some unique styling with a bare right arm and right hip, diagonal hem and sassy opening to show off cleavage. It comes in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Our LuluB! & UNA - Musa - Wings - Alassea are ethereal animated wings that flap gently to show the pastel rainbow of colors that resembles stained glass. There are shades of purple that are lighter than the dress but still coordinate with it so nicely. I'll bet you have plenty of goodies in your inventory already that could use some fairy magic like this :)

Pairs seem to be the theme of this look, like the KLEIN"Edna"Rose pairing of tube top and crop jacket with elbow length sleeves. Each of these is provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Senra, Reborn, and Waifu sizes, but please note - the Legacy jacket was no-copy so it didn't unpack automatically when I added the HUD. When I realized it was missing I rezzed the box/HUD on the ground, edited and went to the contents tab, to find my jacket stuck in there ;) Clicked and dragged it to the folder, and that sorted that out. Then we have a fantastic pair (yep, pair again LOL) of pants called LEROY - Tasha Pants - Black that look so striking with the jacket and top! These bad boys are provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, with built in belt that has the brand logo as the buckle in gold. This is the type of texture that makes me want to touch the fabric and feel the squeak ;) 

My final look is another pairing of two generous gifts. [The Forge] Adeline Top, Black has halter straps that cross both front and back, plus separate sleeves so you can decide if you wish to wear the top with or without. The top and sleeves are designed for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I love this style of sleeve that covers the palms and loops around the thumb, a playful look that also serves a purpose in RL if you add a coat on top and don't want the sleeves bunched up in the coat's sleeves. As for the pants, I must admit I thought there were adorned with snowflakes at first, lol, but now realize that the KILLJOY Dreamy Leggins [FLF O WEEN] gift is awash in little cobwebs :) The high waisted leggings cling to every curve, and are provided in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Juicy Rolls sizes each with or without a bulge. So there's extra curves possible for them to cling to ;) This so reminds me of yesterday, watching a reaction video of a couple listening to Lola by The Kinks for the first time and realizing what the lyrics meant. I knew they would be respectful about it, and I have found myself really enjoying music reaction videos of younger people discovering the music I grew up on and loving it.

I haven't decided if I got lucky or unlucky today, LOL, since the weather did not get as bad as expected (storms swerved away from the area) but I still didn't go to my parents' for dinner since the plans were already canceled. I had a few things to talk to them about that weren't serious or urgent, so that was a mild disappointment. At least I have a farmers market to visit in the morning, and therapy Sunday should keep my brain quite busy this weekend. I hope you all enjoy your weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Tiar Celebrates 18 Years

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I found a breezy storewide hunt at Tiar, celebrating their 16 years in Second Life with 8 free prizes in clickable pumpkins. These are carved into jack o lanterns, but not to be confused with the similar ones tied with a black bow which are 25L for the Scary Hunt. That's a totally different event involving multiple stores :) This post is just focused on the Tiar store hunt, whose prizes are all shown here tonight. These pumpkins aren't all orange (I think a few were pinkish or purplish) and the best thing to do is just wander around and enjoy exploring the store.

These gifts are labeled part 1 and part 2, with 4 versions of gorgeous dresses in each part. My first look is the Tiar nr 1 on the left and Tiar nr 2 on the right, both with simply fantastic texturing. The rainbow colors on the left look like they were created by magic, embossed with delicate cobwebs. I think the pretty pastels on the right are surprisingly fun with the same cobwebs in colors to match the pink and lavender so well. These dresses (and the 2 in the next photo) are each included in Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes.

Tiar nr 3 absolutely feels like Halloween with the warm orange metallic fabric, and of course those webs which are woven onto these two dresses as well. I'm entranced by the coloring of Tiar nr 4 too, shining in hot pink with hints of purple. The plunging neckline of this style feels like it's reaching down towards the hip openings, making it extra seductive. All four of these dresses reminded me of nail polish with magnetic pigments, which is another fascination of mine ;)

I adore the styling of the part two dresses, with that loosely laced deep neckline and daring side cuts that leave very little to the imagination. If you want to wear it but need some modesty, I'd suggest adding BOM panties and either pasties (as I wear) or a bra of your choosing :) The Tiar part2 1 prize is on the left in burgundy, and Tiar part2 2 is the lovely orange version to the right. 

My final look of the evening is the last two prizes from the hunt, and I will say they are last but certainly not least! Tiar part2 3 is the deep purple version on the left above, with Tiar part2 4 appearing on the right in sizzling hot pink. All 4 of the part two prizes contain the same mesh body sizes - Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Hulixa, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, Prima, Reborn, Waifu, and Star. That's a very generous range of brands that are compatible with these beauties, don't you think? I would really like to wear this with a necklace that dangles down the back, just for fun :)

It was a busy day with a very enjoyable evening playing Hello Kitty with friends and sharing good conversations. We always wind up laughing over the most random things, and sharing little tips for the game that the others hadn't picked up on yet. The new update brought houses to build for the characters, and those need some pretty unusual items that none of us had yet from minigames or the like. That's been a challenge and a half! I am not going to dinner at my parents' tomorrow because of some bad thunderstorms coming through from 5-8PM, so it'll be leftovers or something and crossing my fingers that the power stays on for at least most of the night. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Spookwood Treasures

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is your invitation to visit the SPOOKWOOD event and hunt. There are prizes for 25L or lower, and some free gifts for the Fashion Sales group (free to join) as well as a few that don't even need a group to claim. This is such a fun place to explore, and if you haven't narrowed down your Halloween costume this year (or need several for different occasions) you might just find your dream look here :) No need to spend all your lindens yet when a very expensive season is getting closer and closer! Don't worry, I plan on helping you get through that one without going broke too, but first we peek at some group gifts here.

My first look of the evening is our ESSENCE STORE* 1067 SET * gift, and it is versatile enough to work for chilly or warm weather. That's because it includes a lush furry jacket (single size) in addition to the bra, skirt, belt, and boots. Those are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu sizes. Also tucked inside this gift, you'll find a HUD that offers 40 colors each for the bra, two sections of the skirt, belt, boots, and jacket. I think you can guess that I had a lot of fun playing with that HUD, because it's just that entertaining to watch the colors change and try to choose which ones to share.

The {EB} ANGELIC FATPACK gift by Ewa Boutique will let you decide if you want to be the angel or devil on someone's shoulder ;) Honestly I seem to be doing both at once by wearing all the accessories together. The bodysuit, top (bolero), and boots all come in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya/Petite, and Reborn bodies. Then there are black, red, and white pairs of wings, the horns you see here, and the aureole (halo) you see being held up by those horns. Like many fatpacks it also includes a HUD, and ours lets us choose from 18 colors for the bodysuit, 16 for the horns and tail (all at once), and 18 for the top. The halo stays white. This will make a great costume!

Next I dug into the {SD} WEDNESDAY - COMPLETE FATPACK from Sugar Dolls, which appears to be a former gacha so it is a special treat to be able to receive it for free. Please open all of the 13 pieces the traditional way of rezzing on the ground and right clicking to unpack, as we cannot copy an attached no-copy item into our inventory in SL. For this image I am wearing the dress which comes with separate sleeves, both in sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Maitreya Pushup Ecru, Pushup Glitzz, and Reborn bodies. Then I added the boots, which fit Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn legs/feet. I'm holding the doll on the left with its built in pose, while on the right I took off both the doll and the sleeves :) There are so many goodies in this box, I was truly delighted to check them all out.

Oohh, witchy woman...CUTE FOR YOU - 392 seems to have given me an earworm :) That's not a complaint, just par for the course with the way my mind works. The top and skirt both fit Lara X, Legacy/Bombshell, and Reborn/Waifu bodies, while the hat is adjustable for all. We've got a HUD of course, with 25 colors each for the hat, hat trim, top, skirt, and skirt trim, plus 2 options for the spiders which you'll see on hat and the top. I guess I had myself a Wicked moment on the right with pink and green, but it also gives spring or earth witch vibes :)

My final look is a treat from the same brand, our CUTE FOR YOU - 384 dress. The dress is quite sheer, which is why I added a little "modesty flower" in photoshop (that white flower is not part of the dress or anything in SL) with an optional add-on of gold hands for the breasts that blink with animated glitter. These pieces are included in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, and there's also a handy HUD with 50 amazing choices. You'll notice that there are 25 pairs of two buttons per color, and that is because each hue can be solid (well okay, sheer) or with the gold moon pattern you see on the right above. The high halter neckline is such a chic style, and the side straps caught my eye as much as those pretty moons. Please remember that I wear nipple covers that came with my skin and the translucent material may cause some peekaboo action if you aren't covering yours ;)

Well, I am here blogging because of my outing being canceled after all, which allowed me the time needed but is also a bit of a bummer. I love blogging, but I also know that getting out of the house is very important for my mental wellbeing :) There is plenty for me to share in SL, like multiple events that I haven't even touched on with a few that deserve follow-ups. We never know what we'll find when we visit somewhere new, and that is one of the best parts of our virtual world. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Spellbinding Picks from CMH

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm weaving another magical web with some more amazing prizes from the CMH I Put A Spell On You Hunt 6. There were simply too many treats to limit it to one post this round, sorry not sorry! You should check the hunt blog for all of the prices, landmarks, hints, and previews of the $1L hunt prizes and $25L - $50L exclusives for the full event, not just the ones I'm sharing. We have until the end of the month to enjoy the savings and the chance to explore the various stores while looking for those carved pumpkin images that hold our goodies.

I started with two of the 3 prizes from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co., who as usual are offering one of each price point. The 1L prize is their HALF EVIL (White) Tee, whose 333 has a halo on one number and devil horns and tail on another, advising us beneath that "I'm only half evil". This is what to wear when you find yourself using the 😈 emoji a bit too often, or when you just need to warn people that your inner devil is coming out tp play. Then the 25L exclusive is called I'M OK Tee, and is on the right above. The decrepit zombie skeleton creature is showing us a thumbs up with one hand and OK sign with the other, saying "I'm OK" and "I Swear" while subtle flames burn behind him. This is how I feel a lot lately, lol, somewhat less than convincing but still trying to persuade everyone (myself included) that it's all good. Both of these are provided on an unpacking HUD by size, so you can choose from standard sizes or eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing. We can hang onto that HUD for future reference too :) The link for my Delizio jeans here (marketplace gift) can be found in my Everyday Basics tab above.

Gramma's has a witty and witchy shirt for us called BITCHCRAFT SS WMNS TEE v2. This dollarbie features a cauldron in the middle with "Bitchcraft" above with "The Spell of Sweet Revenge", and "Brewed By The Bold" along the bottom of the image. Sassy! This is a no-holds-barred declaration of feminine power, embossed in white on a black short sleeved t-shirt. There is sizing for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Basically this will fit just about everyone :) Witchcraft certainly makes more of an appearance at this time of year, but this suits many of us during any season.

Next I've changed into the gorgeous 50L exclusive from Artistic Eye, their ~AE~ Autumn Jacket w Pumpkins. These warm and vibrant colors immediately bring autumn to mind, with the sunflowers and pumpkins in the pattern (plus plaids!) bringing it home even more. The hooded jacket has a matching top layered beneath, and it is provided in Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn sizes. They have some gravestones to decorate your yard with too, if you're seeking more than fashion this round :) Just take a peek at the hunt blog and you'll see those and much more.

If one of your style inspirations is Morticia Addams (and honestly this time of year it should be for all of us), the Psyche's Pstyles Queen of Bones Gown & Bolero deserves a place of honor in your inventory. You can make that happen for just 1L and a little hunting, and wait until you get to see all the fun details in person :) The bolero covers the shoulders a bit, before the sleeves bring the drama with almost a kimono style of widening at the wrist to form long peaks on each arm. The skirt is slit on just the right leg, and the hemline has a romantic flow that is quite elegant. We receive classic M and fitmesh M sizes (usually for classic avatars) as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Ocacin, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizes for both the bolero and the gown, so they can be worn separately. What would you like to be considered the queen of? My answer would probably be birds, just off the top of my head.

My final look this evening is our dollarbie prize from @rOrO called Sadie Dress Costume. It's such a cozy looking dress that feels like an elongated sweatshirt, with kangaroo pocket in front with a perfectly placed black kitty hiding inside :) The face poking out one side and the tail curled out of the other is such a clever detail, and the warm orange-brown hue is so well suited to fall. Above the pocket says "This Is My Costume" with the words decorated by a witch hat and cobweb, so a bit spooky while being the most comfy costume imaginable. It fits Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies, yours for just one little linden dollar. 

My day was calm compared to tomorrow, as I am supposed to be going out but there is a potential need to either delay or cancel the outing. It's not even up to me or about me, so all I can do is wait for the driver's decision. Part of anxiety, for me at least, is dealing with the unknown and coping with uncertainty. So this is actually a decent challenge in that regard. I have no idea if I'm blogging tomorrow as a result though, so let's leave that as a soft maybe :) Either way I hope you're all having a magnificent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hopping and Shopping

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we hop back over to the Halloween Shop & Hop 2026 event, which is a delightful way to save money and get to know more of SL's talented designers. There are 12 regions with 384 total booths, so it's a good thing we have until early November to explore them all :) Everyone there is offering discounted sales items and a gift for visitors, so your inventory might need a little sorting after visiting to keep things organized. As I've mentioned before, I go by regions when blogging so everything featured tonight is from the Chickory region. Meanwhile I am always going to suggest that you check out the FabFree spreadsheet of gifts, an incredibly valuable resource with direct links, pictures, and sortable by type (men, women, dinkies, credits, decor, etc.) and I am always grateful for their hard work compiling and maintaining it. 

My first look of the evening is a stunning sleeveless minidress from Beauty Factory which is simply named .BF. Gift Dress. The texture might be PBR based on how reflective it looks here, a shimmery purple with intricate folds and wrinkles. We receive Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizes of this wonderful treat with eye-catching diagonal hemline.

With any dress or top that has no sleeves (like the Beauty Factory dress) it can come in very handy to have a little shrug or bolero to cover your shoulders when the weather turns cooler. [The Forge] Drusilla Shrug is a gorgeous option in black stripes with puffy sleeves trimmed in intricate lace. So darkly dramatic, I think it brings a perfect touch of Gothic elegance to any look :) Pick up this gift and you'll find eBody, Lara X, and Legacy sizing inside, and I would love to hear (or see) what you pair it with.

I am truly fascinated by the flame cutouts on our zOOm - Vogel Bodysuit gift 🔥. It fits Erika, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and we get to choose from 8 colors via HUD. I particularly like how it covers all the essentials, yet gives us plenty of peeks like cleavage, bare back, and belly button.

Next I've changed into the playful TO.KISKI - Taylor Outfit 01 Black treat. The cropped top, shiny belted miniskirt, and chunky heel sandals are each included in Lara X, Legacy/Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizing. I know it's hard to see from a distance, but the top has a stick figure with arms spread wide, saying "F*ck You Soooooooo Much" above and below. It's not censored like I just did, lol, and I even counted the o's in so ;) Most of the time I am pretty easygoing and this shirt wouldn't apply, but I feel this way against the opposing team when watching hockey for sure!  I really want to wear these strappy sandals with other outfits too, as they just strike me as so versatile.

Sometimes I love to wrap things up with a fantastic set of nails, and I'm excited to get to do that tonight with the Belle Epoque - Lilith Mesh Nails GIFT. The 6 designs that we can choose from on the enclosed HUD all look like they've been created with magnetic polish, which is a special interest of mine in RL so this tickled me :) There are mesh nails for left and right hands to fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn hands, so we just need to use the body's HUD to hide the built in nails and add the pertinent sizing from this folder. Then add the nails HUD to pick your fresh new manicure ♥.

My anxiety support group meeting was this evening (every other week) and this one was a lot to process. We are a truly supportive bunch and there are some really kind people there, so I am glad to be a part of it even when a meeting gets intense. Otherwise I have no idea what I am doing this week, other than trying to get an appointment for a haircut since this mop is getting out of control ;) It's half curls, half waves, and all frizz, LOL, so I need help taming this beast. I'm also shedding like a pack of huskies, but the haircut can't help with that. Since my appointment will probably be next week, I'll have to chose a destination for this week's adventure. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

POSH Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings us to the Posh Event, where there are lots of free group gifts at many of the booths and a Haunted Crown hunt for a bonus treat. For that you'll need to click all the crowns on the floor (I believe the count was 40) and then the landmark in local chat brings you back to the sign, which you click to receive that fantastic reward. It's appearing as the last photo tonight, preceded by several generous goodies for the Posh group.

Our CITY GIRLS CHUCKY FATPACK SET is fantastic if you need a costume that's a bit playful with a spooky movie vibe. As a matter of fact, it should be child's play for people to guess who you are dressed like ;) The jumper and boots both fit Kupra, Peach, Lara X, Legacy, Muneca, and Reborn bodies, while the rainbow striped socks are a BOM layer compatible with most mesh bodies these days. Those socks are so fun that I might borrow them for other random looks in the future as well.

Sometimes we want something to wear in traditional autumn hues, but make it flirty like the Vanilla Style Boutique//Natacha Dress. We receive Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn body sizes of the dress, which features distressed styling to show off a little extra skin :) That warm peach coloring is also very flattering for any time of year.

Next I tried on the beautiful Newphe - Polly Outfit - Fatpack. This brand is new to me, which makes the gift all that more special in my case. The fact that our top and skirt each come with a HUD to select from 15 colors adds versatility that I think we can all appreciate :) The top and skirt are each provided in sizing for Lara X/Petite X, Legacy/Bombshell/Perky, and Reborn/Waifu sizes. 

The skirt from the prior photo was helpful here too, so I can show off the (Pneuma) Crimson Fever Top. Our cozy cropped t-shirt comes in Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizes, with a clever design on the front of a jack o'lantern carved face in black. It will definitely make your Halloween season a little more fashionable. 

For my final look, I'm showing what you can claim if you click all those crowns you see on the floor in front of the various booths. The DOLLZ Casual Winter FATPACK ALL SETS consists of the coat, leggings, and boots that are each packed separately by color. Each of those contains BBL, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Peach, and Reborn body sizing. I'm wearing the lavender of all 3 pieces on the left, and turquoise jacket and boots with the tan leggings on the right. The jacket has a fur-trimmed hood and built in shirt beneath, giving it a very cozy feeling. So do the boots, which say MOON BOOT wrapped around them in white. What a generous reward for finding and clicking the crowns!

It was a weird weekend for me, partly because I went to the location of the farmers market (which was canceled Saturday) for the food truck that was there for the brewery next door. They weren't told that the market wasn't taking place, so they got there before the brewery even opened, yikes! Then I saw one of my favorite vendors from the market, who had some news...she is retiring and turning her business over to her daughter, but they won't be at the farmers market any longer. I'll miss chatting with her each week so much, and there are only a couple other regulars left so the market feels like it is winding down. At least SL has been keeping me pleasantly busy :) I do hope the new credits layout is working out for everyone, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sweets from Swank

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am changing things up a bit with the format of my post, while dressing my inner Wednesday Addams or Lydia Deetz with some group goodies from SWANK. Their October round is Goth Halloween, and if you have their group tag active (free to join) you can click all the pumpkins you see for treats from dozens of brands.

The daily credits about my hair, body, skin, etc. can now be found in the Everyday Basics tab above :) I'll mention specifics at the end (which hair, which body, etc.) but links have been relocated to keep things cleaner and simpler. I apologize for some of my recent posts going missing and am adjusting the style to help prevent that from happening. Okay, on to the photographs!

First up, we have the JUMO Originals - AIMEE Dress SPECIAL which is a fantastic strapless tube top with midriff cutout. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes included, as well as a HUD with 6 texturing options. The little triangular notches add to the clever geometric styling, and the texture on the left almost feels tie-dye but modernized. 

I also found a pumpkin that held this lovely VIONA Isabel Dress [FATPACK]. It has a perfect style for these days when the evenings are a bit cooler, but the days can still be quite warm :) The neckline, high waist, and seams at the elbow have dainty X's of material holding them loosely closed, very visually appealing. We receive sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 25 colors for the entire dress at once, or those same 25 each for the top, skirt, and lower arms, plus 10 material colors (gradients) for those X pieces in all the seams. This really reminds me of a blouse my mom had in the 60s that I've seen pictures of relatively recently, just that elegantly retro style making another appearance as fashion truly is cyclical.

My first thought when trying on the Elsie Outfit FATPACK from Soho Chic is that if we add a pair of wings, we'll have an amazing Halloween outfit as a fairy! The lacy tank top and handkerchief hemmed miniskirt will each fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn bodies, and we receive a HUD with 25 color choices for each piece. I'm suggesting a pair of BOM panties for modesty :) 

There is definitely something slinky about this snakeskin print, and the red hue is probably a big part of that. It appears on the :::WILD:::Fashion Giavanna Dress, a strapless minidress with golden zipper all the way down the front. I love the way it hugs the body, which it is designed to do for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu. My mind goes to music often, so now I have "Toxic" in my head!

My final look of the evening is fully loaded, as V8 Underground's outfits do tend to be. The **ANNA GOLD WITCH CONCEPT COSTUME STYLE COMPLETE OUTFIT** starts with the mesh clothing - top, shorts, and boots in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. There are BOM layers of Evo X makeup, gloves, and stockings, then we get to add the hat, necklace, earrings, and accessories (bows) for waist and each boot. We can even hold the candle in our right hand and potion bottle in our left hand that you see above. The details are so impressive here, and I appreciate the option to wear as many or as few of the add-ons as I want to for each time I slip into this generous costume.

It has been a long and frustrating week, but I am taking deep breaths and trying to think positive thoughts :) The farmers market I usually go to suddenly canceled for tomorrow, less than 24 hours before it was to open, so that caused a change of plans. Sometimes being flexible is challenging with anxiety, so I am grateful for a low-stakes opportunity to handle a bit of change. Dinner with my parents was pleasant as usual, and the crockpot BBQ chicken was delicious :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
