Lucky Board Festival

Hiya everyone! I discovered a delightful festival today and am thrilled to share with all of you. It is called the Bon Odori Festival and is a huge gathering of lucky boards with a twist...you have to dance to be able to click the boards :) There is a large circle of dance pads that rotate around a tower or scaffold in the center, and it is surrounded by the stands of lucky boards. After you have been dancing for 2 minutes, you're eligible to click any board that comes up with your initial, and they are set to change at random times. I found it best to pay attention to the announcements in local chat when the letters change, and then you know to look for it as you pass by :) There are a wide variety of prizes available, so let's have a look at some of the clothing and accessory ones.

First we have this terrific dress from 10*4 simply called Tank Dress. You know I love pink, and this soft dusky shade is wonderful! The wording on the left side of the skirt says Creative Days, I know it's not easy to see in this photo. You will receive all standard mesh sizes in this prize.

Another fun dress with another shade of pink, this is a lucky board prize from Crystal Dream. That heart shaped cutout is adorable, and the turtleneck is a separate piece so you can go without if you prefer. You'll receive the S and XS mesh sizes of the dress in this prize, along with system layer underpants and undershirt.

This lovely prize is from milky-way, and is called Mini Yukata-Ume-. It includes one size of yukata, the obi (2 pieces), and the geta (sandals) for Slink flat feet as shown or regular system feet. The details are just exquisite!

How about a very pretty high-waisted bikini? This prize is by M.I.X. and all standard mesh sizes are provided. I haven't seen anything quite like it, modest bottom and rear but alluring peeks of skin from the tied top.

This is such a cute style, isn't it? Have a look at our prize from Shiorin Mart, called =CS= KIYOMIZU BON-ODORI PRIZE 2015. This mesh bikini comes with all standard mesh sizes, and I dressed it up with another lucky board prize called Apple Earrings. Sadly they don't have a store name anywhere on the box or in the name, all I know is they were created by Emily18 Weiz who doesn't have a store in her picks at all. I love the way the bite in the apple is filled with a diamond texture :) 

Nail note of the night: I went with a simple but elegant solution from the marketplace, By Snow's French Natural free gift. They go with everything, and suit any length nail quite well. I was rather delayed by the asset server issues this morning, and not being able to unpack things or change clothing when I first wanted to, so now it's all better just in time for the Tuesday rolling insanity ;)

Hope you're all having a decent Monday, magpie hugs to each of you!!
