Fun in the Sun with Kitties!

Hiya everyone! I think I got my hunt names confused and wound up not getting around to the Fun in the Sun Hunt until just over a week before its end, so it's certainly a good thing that the hunt takes place on 3 connected sims and is just 35 hidden prizes. The hunt objects are a mixture of beach balls, sunglasses, and ice cream cones. You are probably familiar with KittyCatS, those sweet breedable cats that have captured the hearts of many in SL and can even be found lounging in a great deal of the stores I visit. As you will see though, the prizes aren't limited to being cat-related whatsoever, so you don't have to be a cat fanatic to enjoy this hunt :) I myself have never had the pleasure of owning a KittyCatS cutie, but can easily appreciate how much fun they must be. Right click one and choose 'pet' and you'll see what I mean! As for the hunt, they provide a HUD when you land at any of the sims so you can find them in order, but I did stumble upon a few out of order as well. Best advice: peep the blog!!

Fun in the sun generally means plenty of bathing suits, and this hunt doesn't disappoint in that regard. This is from beach ball #4 from .:WinTeRwooD Designs:. and is called Boho Bikini, and there is a men's prize in there too. I love the rings, and the pretty colors in the pattern. Standard mesh sizes are included.

If you prefer system layers for your bathing suits, this should fit the bill :) This adorable bikini from [RUBY] includes the system layers as shown, plus that sweet bow for the back of the bandeau, and appliers for Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, and TMP. This treat is in beach ball #7. Now you probably noticed my sunglasses...now that I mentioned them, you probably looked again...they are a prize too. From ice cream cone #2, courtesy of {Cloud Nine Kitties}, these are Meow Pow Shades for men and women. There are a black pair and a white pair for each men and women, then the women get an extra pair in each color with those adorable ears. They all have the whiskers dangling beneath the nose, a giggle-worthy touch for sure.

Quick change of pace, this lovely summer dress from [SNP] is hiding inside beach ball #1 and would make a nice coverup for on the way to the beach or perhaps after you've enjoyed some sunshine. The pattern sure is reminiscent of the ocean for the color and the waves.

If you have enough blues and teals in your summer wardrobe, how about something radiant in red? This starry stunner is the prize from beach ball #10 and is from Sparrow Nest's Creations. System layers only.

I am quite taken with the prize from sunglasses #3, courtesy of ~Mesh Glam~ called Starry Night Rings. The women's dark is on the left, the men's is on the right, and they have resize scripts but the men's is default for the minimum size already so no shrinking it. I really love the colors set into the men's ring, so I just may wind up wearing it even if it is a teensy bit too big (it really isn't that noticeable, this is a close-up) and I adore the women's style. We could always wear one on each hand.

Nail note of the night: I went with a marketplace freebie, this is Hello Dave's Frolic HUD for Slink hands/feet. 5 colors, all with a splash of glitter that is most visible in the last picture above, but of course the actual HUD image is in the marketplace listing. For hair, I decided to go with one of my favorite Magika styles just for fun :)

I had a busy day but it wasn't too bad, and it was gorgeous outside...clear skies, gentle breeze, warm but not stiflingly hot. I saw someone I hadn't seen in several months, that was a joyful moment and we shared a warm hug after a nice chat. I hope you all had an enjoyable day too, and a fun evening...magical magpie hugs to each of you!!
