Bon Odori Festival at Kiyomizu

Hiya everyone! Tonight I take you to the Kiyomizu Mall, where they are celebrating the Bon Odori Festival. I did a little research, as I like to do, and found that it is a dance to welcome the spirits of the dead. The landing area now has a tower with a huge drum, surrounded by a circle of dance poseballs (yellow and on the ground) and displays with gachas and lucky boards. If you want to win from those boards, you have to be dancing for at least two minutes to be able to claim a prize when your initial shows up. The many boards change letters very frequently, and a few boards have multiple prizes inside. This fun annual event takes place until the 18th of the month, so you have time to hang out and enjoy :)

My first look is the lucky board prize from * ichiko * called Hight Waist Bikini - Rose - Kiyomizu Bon 2019. It comes in a Maitreya mesh size and has a delicate pattern with pretty pink roses. 

Another lucky board prize worth dancing for is the Magiclo gift .: MC :. Camouflagesuit [Kiyomizu_Bon] outfit seen here. It is a single piece with a tube top layered beneath a jumper type skirt, in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The camo print on the top layer has fun shades of pink, blue, and yellow that really make it pop.

Another outfit on the lucky boards is the prize from [PinkCat's] called Summer Mini Tshirt&Bottom *WaterMelon-Yellow*. The top and shorts each come in a single mesh size, and as you can see they fit my Maitreya body quite well. Apparently yellow watermelon has a sweeter honey-like flavor, so now I want to try it! My avi got to taste it from one of the two prizes in FrangipaniGarden's lucky board, the *FG* Watermelon Ice Cream Floats -Yellow-.  It has a built in hold pose, as you can see, and there is a pink flavor you can win from this board as well. Just look at how beautifully it is garnished, with tiny wedges of watermelon and a paper umbrella.

The **milky-way lucky board has two prizes in it too, and I am having fun showing them both in this look. The lovely dress on the left is the **milky-way *19-07 MINI YUKATA-Pink, and the Blue version can be seen on the right. Both are included in a single mesh size that might be for Maitreya since I saw it auto-alpha some body sections when I added it, and they have the same crimson belt and wide sleeves. These are such elaborate looks, and perfect for the festival.

Clearly I had a lot of fun with this last look of the evening, wearing a sexy bikini from the +OM+ display. It is a free gift located behind their lucky board, so not actually a lucky board prize...you can claim this with no group needed and no luck ;) Then I added a lucky board prize, this time from A&R called Phone Navi-ver2. Just add it and you will see some adorable poses, and you can click the yellow part for animations or the black star on the back for the selfie with flash light as seen on the left. So clever!

I am having a frustrating night, with lots of technology things failing on me, so I am just crossing my fingers and feeling relieved that I can still post this. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
