Rez Day Presents

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a celebration of rez days, which is the SL equivalent of a birthday since it is the date you created your avatar and account. Mine was Saturday so I was able to claim several gifts from around the grid from a few generous designers who like to help us celebrate :) You can find the exact date of your rez day in your profile, so on that date you can claim these same wonderful gifts. I can hardly believe that I have now been in Second Life for 14 years, with my only break being a couple of months when I had major surgery and couldn't sit at a computer at all. The milestone made me reminisce over how things have changed, clothing from prims and sculpties to mesh, and hairstyles from flexi to mesh. Speaking of mesh, I think mesh bodies and heads were the most revolutionary aspect of the changes, with Bento and BOM being right up there. The memories I have of places I worked, friends who have come and gone, and good times with Xan made me wistful so I am still feeling a bit mushy. 

First I visited Prism where I was delighted to claim their Dawn Peasant Dress by Jezzixa White Wildflowers. The name is a coincidence ;) This lovely bare shouldered dress has wide lace trim at the hem and soft ruffles up top, with a fun herbal texture. The gift includes 5 standard and 5 fitmesh sizes for classic avatars, as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. 

Next I clicked the rez day gift sign at Sweet E's to receive their Daisy Doris Dress with HUD. It comes in classic S, M, L sizes plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 4 pretty floral patterns to choose from. I am a big fan of halter necklines, and that single strap all the way down the back is a fun detail.

Speaking of patterns, the one on this gift is perfect for a rez day or SL birthday. It is the [KS] Natalie II in Happy Birthday from Krystal's, and it is a strapless dress with full skirt and bold belt tied with a bow and long strands down the front. It is provided in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body sizing. Did you notice the word BIRTHDAY on it, and the balloons and party hats?

Entice has two gifts for your rez day celebrations, so you definitely don't want to miss out on your special day! This is their Springsteen Dress - Rez Day Gift which comes in Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes with a 3 texture HUD. The decorated cupcakes (is that an alpaca face?) are an ideal choice for a party, your own rez day or a friend's, and the others are festive too. The strapless tube style dress is such a versatile choice since you can accessorize it with just about any shoes and jewelry you desire.

My final look of the night is the Entice - One Sweet Day - Fatpack, another strapless beauty that you can claim only on your rez day. There is an intricate belt attached to our flowy dress, which is included in a wide range of sizes - 5 standard and 5 fitmesh for classic avatars, plus sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. There is also a HUD as you can probably tell, with 3 colors of the blossom-adorned texture. It is a testament to our generous designers when the only hard part is choosing which color to wear out!

It was a pleasant weekend here, with a nice visit to the farmers market and then most of my SL time spent working on a certain challenging gridwide hunt that involves spinning cubes....I really think this batch of hunt prizes will be a delight to blog and ready to tempt you all into some hunting :) That is not the only hunt I've been working on either, since a popular event decided to celebrate their anniversary with a free hunt this year instead of loading their crowded sim with group gifts. there is always something brewing in SL, which certainly explains how it has captured my attention and imagination all these years. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
