Hiya everyone! Tonight we shop till we drop at the new round of The Wash Cart Sale, which is open until April 15th. There are exclusive offers for up to $50L each, and items from $10L - $50L for you to enjoy. Dozens of designers are participating, fashion and home decor are among the many selections you will find, so have fun exploring and browsing :) I also wanted to show you more of the Stay at Home Club gifts being offered to all visitors of the participating stores, no group tag needed. These thoughtful designers are helping us get through these stressful times by giving us free treats to brighten our Second Life. They changed their website URL since I posted last night, so please visit here and you will see photos of the gifts that are each linked to the store's location. The old link will direct you to the new one, it's just easier to have the updated info :)
My first look comes to you from the Shae's Designs cart at The Wash, with a few of their $25L selections. I am wearing the Cilla V2 - Off Shoulder Crop Top Pinkish on the left, Purple version on the right, and there are four other colors available on the cart too. Each comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The jeans are available for $25L a pair too, in 6 different shades, of which I am wearing Jennifer Jeans 5 on the left and Jennifer Jeans 4 on the right. These classically styled denim jeans are provided in eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. My ending credits has the direct link to their cart, and you can visit their marketplace store by clicking here.
We next visit the *baci* cart at The Wash, with a wide range of ladies' fashion at very reasonable prices. The dress on the left is the baci-hydrangea pencil dress and for just $39L you will receive it in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. I combined two more cart selections on the right, baci-cupcake sweater and the baci-MyLacy shorts which are each just $10L. These items also include sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. They are both quite versatile, you can wear them with whatever you wish :) The baci mainstore is conveniently located on The Wash not too far from their cart, which is linked directly in my ending credits as usual.
Next we teleport on over to Entice, who is offering not just one but two gifts for the Stay at Home Club. On the left I am feeling flirty in their Desert Rose - Aqua lingerie set, whose bra and panties are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. The panties are actually a thong style in the rear :) I kept those on to change into their other gift on the right, the Entice - Never Surrender Top - Grape. It comes in the same mesh body sizes (Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya) and has an elegant feeling while being playful in that bold color and with the plunging neckline. I can see wearing it with a sleek skirt or dressy pants, depending on your mood or the occasion.
Those panties from Entice came in handy to wear with this next gift, which is from Eliya.K called Rimel Black. It is fitted for the Maitreya body, and is a long ruffled cardigan with built in bustier (bra top). There is even a HUD provided, with 11 colors for that bustier and even a hide/show button so you can be a bit more daring :) The black cardigan is a great neutral and will look terrific with any color or combination of hues.
For my final look of the evening, I visited Love Lace, who are offering two Stay at Home Club gifts. This is their ::LL:: Mermaid Shine Dress FATPACK, with 6 colors (blue, gold, mint, pink, purple, rainbow) of which I am wearing Pink on the left and Rainbow on the right. Each one comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with a HUD offering 2 texture choices, with or without the scalloped scale design. I certainly do feel magical in them :) The other gift is a makeup fatpack of I believe they were highlighters, in Omega appliers, not shown here but you can explore those if you have an Omega compatible mesh head.
My mood this evening is a bit somber, as the first death in my county from this dreaded virus was reported, and it was someone in the town next to mine. I am doing my best to stay safe (staying home, encouraging others to do so, making small donations, sharing social media posts with info about local businesses who are still open and need help, etc.) and can only hope that it is enough. We still all need food and other essentials, and I worry that something coming into my home could possibly be contaminated without my realizing it. I know I'm not alone in my fears, and I hope my being honest about them helps someone reading this in some small way since we are all in this together. I genuinely care about each and every one of you, anyone who takes the time to read this post, and hope you and your loved ones get through this safely. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am really excited to show you some selections from The Wash Cart Sale, whose spring round theme is simply "Shop Till You Drop!". Dozens of designers have carts loaded with selections from $10L - $50L, including an exclusive offer that you will only find during this round until the 15th of April. I have been a huge fan of this event for most of my SL experience, as it goes back way further than my blogging adventures, so it is a huge honor for me to be a small part of their team :) I also discovered a fun opportunity to claim free gifts, called the Stay At Home Club. A group of generous designers got together and decided to give out gifts to keep us all occupied and looking fashionable while we stay at home in RL. No group is needed, but you can join to be updated on when new gifts are added, and the website is very helpful with links and photos of what gifts are currently being offered. I clicked the apparel button to find all the treats this evening.
Our first stop is the Dark Water Designs cart at The Wash, where I chose two of their lovely Ruffle Dress colors to show you. Mint is on the left, with Rose on the right, and each come in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. There is a pair of panties included in each size too, and there is also a HUD with each, 3 textures to choose from in the same pretty hue. Each dress is just $25L, and there are other colors there too so you have lots to choose from. Their cart is linked directly in my ending credits, and you can visit the Dark Water Designs mainstore by clicking here.
Another cart I always look forward to seeing is from Roped Passions, who were already on my mind lately from visiting their store during the Twisted hunt :) This look is two of their $25L cart offerings called (RP) Vintage Suspender Outfit, with Teal on the left and Red on the right. There are 4 other colors to choose from too, whatever hues tickle your fancy. The outfit is a single mesh piece and comes in 3 classic sizes (S, M, L) along with Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. The link for the mainstore is right here, and the ending credits will whisk you directly to their cart at The Wash.
This is one of the many treats available for the Stay at Home Club, from Faida and called Amanda. It is for the Maitreya mesh body, and includes a notecard telling you how to change colors via chat command menu in local text. You will be typing /3 and one of the 6 colors on that notecard, and the trim stays that lovely gold while the bodice background changes. Just claim the free gift by visiting Faida, no group tag needed.
Normandy is offering a gift to make our time at home more enjoyable too, their Nite Jumper [Stripes]. It is provided in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes, with a HUD that lets you choose from 22 colors each for the jumper and the border. Mixing and matching the colors is a fun way to come up with new looks, and I am loving the flattering form-fitting design.
For my final look, I visited Paper.Sparrow and picked up their Stay at Home free gift called Moon Alex Top. It has a HUD to choose from a black or white background with all the moon phases pictured on the front, and the flirty top comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Legacy Perkier, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. I added my favorite Delizio marketplace freebie here, their jeans in blue which is one of several colors included as system/BOM layers plus Maitreya and Omega appliers.
How is everyone holding up? I am doing okay, still trying to shake an intense dream (nightmare?) where the quarantine became more serious and the government was using armed drones to make sure people stayed home. What I have noticed is that my daily routine usually takes place here in my home, so that hasn't changed much for me, but my worry for other people has increased considerably. I guess I'm lucky in some ways and unlucky in others, pretty average. I enjoyed reading about a friend who has a cupcake shop and did no-contact deliveries of free cupcakes and coffee to first responders :) They deserve our deepest gratitude, that's for sure, and her gesture probably brought some smiles to people who need them most. I am trying to hold onto any happy thought I can, so that is one for tonight. I hope you're all having a safe and peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am excited to show you some of the many exclusive selections from the Bundle of Dove event. You may remember this event as its former name DAZZLE, and it is organized by the same terrific person (Palomma Casanova) who owns The Free Dove :) There are many participating designers who are all offering an exclusive selection for the Hello Sunshine theme, among other offers in most cases, so you are bound to find something special to catch your fancy. I even found two free gifts to brighten everyone's visit. Our event is open until the 14th of April, so you have time to pick up demos and return when you decide. I am linking each store's name in my ending credits to their specific display location, but I hope you will enjoy exploring the whole beautiful area, crossing the rope bridges and appreciating the seasonal scenery.
My first look is the {WitchCraft} Lore Dress, their beautiful exclusive with sheer midriff, floaty detached sleeves, and delicate polka dots. The dress comes in sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. There is also a HUD provided with 6 color choices, two of which you can see above. All this is only $120L and exclusively at the Bundle of Dove.
Next we see the exclusive offer from {Melt} called Dallas Dress. It has an asymmetrical hemline gathered on one side, with stripes of various designs on the skirt and a solid top with cap sleeves. The dress is included in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD featuring 9 color options and 4 belt choices. The belt has 2 colors, with or without the heart closure in front. This treat is $150L at the Bundle of Dove event.
We also stop by the Moonstar display, where you will find this cute free gift called Mesh Hello Spring Dress and Panties. The dress has an image of a girl with a crown of flowers feeding some happy birds, and the pastel colors are sweet for welcoming spring as well. Our gift includes sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and even a standard version for classic avatars. The lace panties come in a system/BOM layer as well as an Omega applier, and you are about to see them in my next photo :)
The lacy Moonstar panties came in handy for me to show you the top from FK Papillon, which is named after the store itself. This flirty tank top is raised on one side, in a deep burgundy with a butterfly and the word "Papillon" on the front. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing.
Are any of you playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons? I am brand new to the Animal Crossing franchise, well I play the tablet Pocket Camp app which is totally different but this is my first experience with the regular game system versions and I like it so far :) Only 2 days in, but it is a nice way to pass the time when you are home all day. I still have so much to learn, that's for sure! I have been reading through a guide online that so far has been very helpful. Otherwise there is not much new here, I am just trying to stay calm and healthy which is exactly what I wish for all of you. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I chose some more Twisted Spring 2020 Hunt prizes to show you, even though the time for the hunt is drawing to a close (the 31st of the month) because there were still so many treats that I hadn't shared yet. Also I am thinking some of you may be spending more time in-world since our real world is not as safe these days. The prizes are worth rushing for, as you can clearly see :) In tonight's looks, you will get quite an eyeful as a matter of fact, with some revealing images that really show off the designers' hard work (among other things).
My first look is a set of side hunt prizes, as [QE]Designs was feeling particularly generous towards this round's hunters. There are 4 mini hunt gifts and you can see all of them here, the [QE] Futura Top - Twisted, Futura Skirt - Twisted, Futura Sleeves - Twisted, and Abby Boots - Twisted. Each one is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with a materials enabled versions of each size. The skirt even includes a "coochie cover" for each size, a little modesty for down below.
Next we see the two main prizes from [QE]Designs, which are in two separate cubes. The outfit is the [QE] Celestia Harness Set - Twisted, paired with the [QE] Futura Thigh High Plats - Twisted. The harness set consists of the top, bottom, and pasties, each in versions with and without materials in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. As for the boots, they are platform peeptoes with a honeycomb design, in the same sizes as the harness set. These are really sexy outfits, and you can mix and match them if you wish. The bottom and pasties of this set come in handy to show off some body art in my next two images...
+Fallen Gods Inc+ has 3 colors of this very theme-appropriate Binary Matrix tattoo, a unisex gift in system/BOM layers plus Omega appliers for each color. On the left I am wearing Acid, on the right Matrix, and the other (not shown) is called Turquoise. They are rather similar in my windlight, with Matrix leaning a bit more blue, and all are very intriguing. The bars even make a brief appearance on the face, then all the way down to the lower leg.
Next we take a peek at the [S&T] Twisted Cyber Angel Tattoos (Unisex) from Sew & Tell. This gift includes system/BOM layers and an Omega applier, in angelic white with a barcode on the left collarbone and a cool circuitry design throughout. The center of the back between the wings reminds me of one of the sides of the lament cube's design :) I'm sure that is intentional.
My final look amuses me because of the drastic change from like 2% covered up to 98% covered up ;) It is the Applique` Chic prize called AC: Twisted Cyber Chic, and everything you see here is included. The top, pants, boots, and fingerless gloves each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous versions. The sheen on the fabric makes me think latex, and I appreciate the design from the cube appearing on the front of the jacket.
It was a decent day, although I think I offended my parents when I shared a video that a doctor made to show us how to clean off groceries and takeout food because it mentioned not to let your relatives over 60 go shopping. They are both in their 70s and insist on shopping themselves, which they have to do for my 93 year old grandma as well. They got food from the farmers market (usually only open Saturdays) today for themselves and picked up my order as well, so I won't even be going out tomorrow after all. I am some strange combo of disappointed and relieved, since the fresh air would be good but I know they meant well and I will technically be safer. I have lots of tasty meals for the next few days, and I am grateful for that :) Things may be uncertain these days, but I believe kindness and a positive attitude can still make a difference. I hope you're all having a safe and happy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I finally had all the pieces to show you the newest Sn@tch Fish 4 This fishing set, Done Dirt Cheap, which is exciting for a few reasons. One, the 23 piece set of clothing and accessories is free to catch with your 7 Seas fishing rod (not free, but purchase it once at Sn@tch or the marketplace for example, and you can use it for all future sets and anywhere you see the 7 Seas logo) and is just a really versatile set to collect. But the most important reason is that it means that the Sn@tch designer, Ivey, is gradually working her way back to being inworld and creating new releases :) This warrior has been fighting health battles since last autumn, so I am excited beyond words to see that she is back! A little about the set...there are 6 mesh tops and 6 pairs of pants, all in standard mesh sizes plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous bodies. There is also a skirt in all those sizes except the Voluptuous. There is a tattoo in system/BOM layer and an Omega applier, a choker with heart shaped lock, fishnets and socks in system/BOM layers plus an Omega applier, boots with a 10 color HUD, and 3 colors of a fun hairstyle in two sizes each. As a quick reminder since it's been several months since my last Sn@tch fishing post, all prizes are transferable so you can swap your spares with your friends to complete the set even faster. It is probably changing fairly soon, so I would hurry!
My first look starts with the hair, Sn@tch Daisy Hair in Black/Blonde. I love the layered curls which really accentuate the ombre! I am wearing a default hairbase from my Genus head's HUD, as the hairline just looked like it needed a little something to fit my shape. I am wearing the Sn@tch Ever Striped Crop Top in Wine, paired with the Sn@tch Velvet Jeans in matching Wine. I even chose the coordinating color from the boots' HUD, the Sn@tch Bella Suede boots which are caught separately and so is that HUD.
Next I changed into the Teal versions of the Ever Striped Crop Top and the Velvet Jeans. You can see the studs down the sides of the pant legs in this view, great details :) I used the HUD to change the boots to a charcoal shade, just for variety.
This pretty Daisy Hair is the Black/Purple version, which seemed to call for the Purple version of the Velvet Jeans. I also changed to the White variety of the Ever Striped Crop Top, which will look fantastic with any color of pants or even the skirt. Did you notice my other addition? That would be the Sn@tch Slither Tattoo, a red/black/white striped snake whose tail is just above my belly button and whose tongue is darting out to taste my neck. The rest of him is coiled beneath the shirt of course, since he found a warm place to get comfy in my cleavage.
The slithery body art goes well with the Ever Striped Crop Top in Red, and matching Velvet Jeans in (you guessed it) Red. I also added the Sn@tch Sid Choker in Pewter, which now looks like it is being licked by the snake ;) I also switched to the Daisy Hair in White, a pale silvery tone that will go beautifully with any color outfit you wear.
For my last look of the evening, I am sporting the Ever Striped Crop Top in Green, with the Sn@tch Velvet Skater Skirt in Black. It is just short enough to really show off the Sn@tch Fishnets & Socks, which are two separate system/BOM layers, underwear and sock. It seemed appropriate to change the boots to black, although green would have been a fun choice too :)
The local news has not been encouraging, but it seems like the numbers of positive tests and related deaths are rising all over the country. All I can really do is try to focus on anything positive that I can, and friendship is the main thing that comes to mind. Tomorrow is my usual visit to my parents' for dinner, then Saturday I am most likely going to pick up food from the farmers market with their new guidelines for safety. In SL there are events to enjoy, and just spending time with Xan there is always heartwarming for me ♥. I hope you're all staying safe and doing well, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more Twisted Spring 2020 Hunt prizes to share, all in their Cyberpunk theme and many featuring the hunt color of electric teal. The prizes are all free, and hidden in slowly rotating cubes within 30 meters of the landing spot at each store. There are no hints except the ones you can ask for in the group chat of the Twisted group, and there can be up to 13 visible decoys in addition to the real prize cube. If you see a twisted easel at a store, please do click it and read the notecard so you will know if that stop is offering multiple prizes, a side hunt, special related sales, or something else extra :) Sometimes they offer a hint in that notecard too. If you've never done a Twisted hunt before, this link has helpful information to read through.
My first outfit is the female prize from MoonliteCat Creations called MLCC Pong Cyber Punk Womens Teal Outfit. The jacket comes in classic M and fitmesh M sizes along with mesh body versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous. The skirt comes in a similar set of sizes: classic (S, M, L), fitmesh (S, M, L), Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous. Even the matching bracelets are provided for both the left and right wrists. So many terrific details here! I chose to add a necklace as well, our prize from Gallery One called Twisted Cyberpunk Pendant. The black double cord holds a round pendant with 5 textures to choose from via HUD, two of which are shown in the inset of the photo. All are on a teal background, so they will match most of the Twisted gifts perfectly.
This striking bodysuit is the MI.CO Twisted Hunt CyberPunk 2020 Space Jumper, the main prize at that location. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies, and that texture is animated! The shades of blue and green actually swirl around, something you will have to see in person to fully appreciate :)
**DSO** is one of the many stores with side hunts, and for this look I combined the female main prize with just one of their several side hunt gifts :) The **DSO** Jill Outfit THS20 consists of the long jacket and the pants/boots combo each in classic (S, M, L) and fitmesh (M, L) sizes plus versions for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. The **DSO** Arm Bands - THS20 are a side hunt prize, with upper and lower parts for each arm. They look fantastic with the main prize, don't they? The side hunt is actually shared with MoonliteCat Creations, the creator of the very first outfit in tonight's post, so work your way through that maze and you can claim the side hunt goodies from both stores!
Next we take a look at the +Inner Mantra+ Twisted Hunt Gift Female, which adds a little bit of seduction to the cyberpunk style with the sheer panel in the back of the tank top. The top and pants are provided in system/BOM layers and Omega appliers, while the boots are sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. (Advice: if you are wearing a different body or a classic avatar, just alpha out your feet and try the boots on to see which provides the best fit for your shape) There is also a mens prize and a mini hunt with even more treats for all.
My final look of the evening is a prize that gave me a much needed chuckle :) It is the BLASPHEMIC - TALI TANK - TwISteD, and it comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The front reads "I'm NOT Sick I'm Twisted", then beneath that smaller all in red is "Sick makes it sound like there's a cure!". I realize that a few may consider this inappropriate these days, but I know it has nothing to do with the current pandemic and prefer to focus on the twisted part of the statement and how it relates to the hunt. This hunt has been around for over a decade, and the group behind it (designers, organizers, and regular participants) have a strong sense of community that makes up the "twisted" identity. Oh, I left the pants on from the previous gift so that I would be wearing something on the bottom in this image ;) You probably have a favorite pair of jeans, pants, or maybe a fun skirt that you can pair this with already in your inventory.
The news continues to be worrisome in this area, with 2 deaths in the neighboring county (where I grew up and where my grandmother lives) reported in the past day. Both were people in their 80s, one of whom was in a nursing home, so I am concerned for the rest of their residents. I was relieved to hear from one of my best friends, she and her husband who is immunocompromised from cancer treatments are doing well and staying safe. These are such weird times, but I am so grateful that we have ways to keep in touch with people like texting, so we can be reassured quickly and easily. I'm old enough to remember what life was like before the internet and smartphones, and having to rely on landlines to talk to someone to make sure they were okay. I much prefer modern technology :) Please don't "ok boomer" at me though LOL, I am not quite that old. I am still trying to feel hopeful and positive, and most of all trying to be patient until the worst is past and we can regroup to find our new normal together. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight we delve into the Twisted Spring 2020 Hunt, whose theme is Cyberpunk and color is electric teal. That means the spinning lament cubes are a vibrant teal color, with some transparent sections, which can make them tricky to see against certain backgrounds. This is billed as the hardest hunt in SL, and I do suggest reading the rules on their website before embarking on this challenge :) I will sum it up by saying that the prizes are free but you will earn them, hehe, and there can be several visible decoy cubes (named the same and sometimes with contents but not set for sale for $0L) and the cubes move frequently. You can request a hint by joining the group, and you will notice on the merchant list that many stores have side hunts...those can be amazingly challenging! One clever one was a "twist your own adventure" with multiple notecards that you choose what do to next by reading the pertinent card and following new instructions. I have always found that this hunt brings out so much creativity in the participants, and probably a special wicked side ;) Okay, now that you know what you're in for, let's see some of the generous prizes!
First we have one of the two prizes at Secrets of Gaia, the SoG Cyberpunk Bounty Hunter, and it is a fully loaded treat! The bionic arm top (short sleeves, left arm fully metallic) comes in sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous bodies. The matching pants are provided in all the same sizes plus classic Medium and fitmesh Medium for classic avatars. There are bracers for each arm in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic, and an unrigged version. The belt and leg bands are each provided in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The boots are in a single size that will work easiest by hiding whatever feet you are sporting, and the ear spikes (left and right) are adjustable too. Do I look like a bounty hunter? :) I sure look ready for some sci-fi adventure!
My next look shows two of the 7 side hunt prizes from #hashbang!, who are offering male, female, and unisex gifts among their many prizes. The dress is called Luminous Dress - Neon, and it comes in fitmesh standard sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is also a HUD with 14 glow colors plus an X option to turn the glow off and change the straps to grey. My sunglasses are the unisex Mirrorshades - Twisted side hunt gift, which has a built in resize script and is in the hunt's shade of teal. One twist (pun intended) here is that the side hunt will actually lead you back to the main prize itself, so you can do the side hunt before finding the main cube.
Roped Passions has two main prizes (and several snarky decoy cubes!) to be found, male and female, then a side hunt with more gifts for us intrepid hunters. The ladies' main prize is the (RP) Volt Cyberpunk Corset Teal seen here, in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. From the side hunt prizes I am wearing the matching Volt Cyberpunk Pants (Womens) which come in a system layer and an Omega applier, and the Volt Cyberpunk Boots (Womens). Even the halo of cubes spinning around my head is a prize, the (RP) Cyberpunk Cube Halo (Unisex). These are exact representatives of the hunt cubes for your very own, so you can relive your hunting experience whenever you wish.
Valkyr has provided 4 different gifts for the hunt, two female and two male outfits. This look is their *Valkyr* Grid Hunter F - Twisted Main Gift, consisting of body armor (vest), jacket, pants, and boots as shown. The body armor, jacket, and pants each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with the boots in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, and Physique versions. The back of the jacket is decorated with the twisted cube, and the store's name on the collar.
My final look of the evening is the other Valkyr female prize, Grid Hunter F2 Twisted Main Gift 2. As you can see, it is a cool blue color rather than the teal of their first gift, and it includes all the same components in the same sizes. You could potentially mix and match these pieces between gifts if you were so inclined.
I hope you are all doing as well as possible in these uncertain times, and that you and your loved ones are staying healthy and safe. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
