More Good Fortune at Siss Boom

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I still had some more terrific lucky board prizes from Siss Boom to share, and even won a couple more before I took the photos for extra choices :) As a reminder from last night's post, these lucky boards are free for public use so do not need any particular group tag to click them, and they change pretty quickly so visiting for a little while can be very fruitful. There are about 2 dozen boards with different prizes, so you can find something to suit most tastes or moods like casual or formal. 


My first look features the -siss boom- velvet lace silver sage 1 prize, a fluttery top that fits the Maitreya mesh body. In addition to the velvet mentioned in its name, there are generous ruffles of embroidered lace that is a really beautiful touch. You could wear this with your favorite skirt or pair of pants, as I have added the Delizio black pair from their fatpack which is free on the marketplace. All colors are provided in system/BOM layers as well as Maitreya and Omega appliers. 


Next I changed into a comfy looking prize called -siss boom-floral tunic dress pink 1. The long sleeved shirt style dress has a relatively short hem that flares out at the hips, in a soft hue decorated with an intricate flower pattern both top and bottom. The prize includes fitmesh standard sizes along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. 


Another stunning dress is this -siss boom-ruffle champagne 1 which you can also win for free with a little luck :) It is a flirty little style with ruffles accentuating the strapless top and mini skirt, with shapely seams and an attached belt that is a shade or two darker than the dress. Win this one and you will receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 


I genuinely gasped a little when I first tried on the -siss boom-sparkle shine aqua 1 prize! This gorgeous dress has a satin bodice and skirt, with a lace midriff whose front is adorned with large floral appliques. It comes in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. 


My final look this evening is an elegant long gown with fun details. It is the -siss boom-keyhole black prize, and is a single piece with the appearance of two in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies as well as a fitted version for classic avatars. The short sleeved top is dotted with pretty pearls, and has a charming keyhole opening in the back. The skirt has a tiny zipper holding it closed on the rear waistband, and is a very flattering mermaid shape. Thanks to those pearls you really don't even need much in the way of jewelry, maybe a bracelet or pair of earrings and your favorite black heels should complete this ensemble nicely. 

I hope you are all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Siss Boom Luck

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are going to try our luck at Siss Boom, where you will find a couple dozen lucky boards that are completely free to use with no group tag necessary. They change fairly quickly and if your initial shows up you can win many terrific fashion prizes. I have been a fan of this brand for years, particularly impressed by their artistic textures, so I am very grateful for the opportunity to claim some of their creations for free. Every time I visit I am inspired to browse and yes, occasionally indulge in some shopping :) I won several prizes this morning and a handful last week too, and I suggest you bring a friend so they too can win some treats and keep you company while you hang out. 


My first look this evening is the -siss boom- willoughby camel outfit, a single piece with the appearance of top, skirt, and jacket. The camel coloring is various shades of rich neutrals, from pale beige to the deep brown of the belt. This prize includes sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. I really like that it combines a professional attire look with playful details like the peekaboo neckline and bold stitching on the left side of the wrapped skirt.


Next I slipped into the -siss boom-glam t dress floral 1 lucky board prize, which caught my eye as having a casual style with a glittery, gorgeous fabric. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and the design looks like a feathery flower or maybe even a fireworks display in pale teal on burnished gold. 


I am very fond of denim, so you can imagine my delight at winning this -siss boom-simple navy 1 dress! It is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and has a short hem accentuated by embroidery on the right thigh. I also like the attached belt and how it matches the wide collar and fun bow up top. 


This charmer is the -siss boom-little something dress, which can be yours for free if your initial shows up on its lucky board. The strapless mini is trimmed with fur and a few puffballs dangling from strings at the center of the neckline, and with a daring thigh slit for added oomph. Our prize includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with a 7 color HUD so you can change the look up if you wish. The fur speaks to this time of year, with all the revealed skin making it fine for any season.


For my final look of the evening, I chose the cozy -siss boom-fall short autumn sweater, a cropped cutie with mock turtleneck and short sleeves that features colors and a pattern that are perfect for fall. It comes in a fitmesh version for classic avatars, as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. You can pair this with just about any pants or skirt that you prefer, and since I was feeling casual I went with the black pair of Delizio jeans from their free marketplace fatpack. This trusty gift has several shades to choose from in system/BOM layers plus appliers for Maitreya and Omega, so plenty of compatibility. 

I am still smiling from a very enjoyable weekend, thanks to a special friendsgiving type dinner on Saturday after a chilly but fun visit to the farmers market that morning. It really means a lot to me to spend time with people I care about so much, and finally seeing people again after nearly 2 years has been amazingly uplifting. The weather is cold but my heart is warm ♥. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Flirty in a Flash

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some limited time offers to share, one of which is a Black Friday related hunt that is just until the 29th at Vanilla Bae. They are celebrating their holiday sale with 10 free prizes available to all, no group needed, hiding in assorted Christmas tree shaped cookies. The icing color and design varies, and this is a very tricky hunt since the store is rather large and they are tucked into some clever hiding spots. They are very well worth the effort though, with PG and Strip Me items included in the fashionable prizes. For some added sex appeal we are also taking a look at the Saturday Sale offering from Entice, who are also having a Black Friday sale of 50% off their whole store until the 29th. We are definitely going to save lots of money this weekend to look incredibly sexy.


My first look combines two free hunt prizes in the same ravishing red color. The dress is the *Vanilla Bae* Laverna Dress which is a PG version (no strip script) that is provided in sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a panty liner in the same sizes for a touch of modesty. How fun is that side opening on the left, tied loosely with a long bow? As for my footwear, that would be our *Vanilla Bae* Angelique OTK Heels prize. These over-the-knee boots are completely fishnet except the playful fringe at the top, and fit Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. There is a HUD included with 9 sole colors to choose from in case you want to customize the look a bit. 


The *Vanilla Bae* Dawn Dress (Adult) prize comes in Legacy and Maitreya mesh body sizes, and includes a very special Strip Me script that you can set to private or public, or indicate a master. When clicked, the dress offers whoever you authorize to strip the dress in 6 stages, starting with the way the neckline is pulled slightly to one side on the right above. The next step would be the other side of the neckline, then the left side fully exposing one breast...I think you can get the idea from there :) The green is a nice choice for Christmas season, but certainly is not limited to any particular time of year. 


I was also fortunate enough to find the cookie that contains the *Vanilla Bae* Savannah Dress, a PG beauty that does not contain a stripping script but whose styling is flirtatious all on its own. The wrap style draws the eye to our curves, and the red shade in addition to the shape made me think of Jessica Rabbit only as a mini dress. Find this prize and you will claim it in sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. 


Two more prizes make an appearance here, starting with the *Vanilla Bae* Opal Crop Sweater. It comes in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, with a Strip Me script so you or someone you permit from the menu can undress your top in 5 stages which lift the hem until the sweater is removed. The *Vanilla Bae* Nuria Leggings have a similar script to lower then remove them in 4 stages (you can see both hips lowered and a hint of bum cleavage on the right above) while being provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. They have a really fun shredded style too, with those series of tears both front and back. 


My final look of the evening will help put an extra spark into your weekend. On the left I am enjoying the Entice - Lucky Star Lingerie v2 - Silver, with the same set in Wine on the right. Each is just $75L currently, with two other shades (Emerald and Rose) at the same prices until the 2nd of December which is the duration of the Saturday Sale. There were several colors released prior to this, and as part of the Black Friday sale they are 50% off so $150L apiece or $299L per fatpack. There is even a mega fatpack of 4 fatpacks combined (40 colors!) for $1150L if you simply cannot decide :) All include pasties and panties in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. I blogged other colors here if you are curious to see. 

I truly enjoyed my small family Thanksgiving, especially getting to know my younger cousin's wife a little better. It was only the second time I've met her, and we got to chat one on one which we had not before. She is a warm and friendly person who clearly loves my cousin, and that makes me extremely happy. I have company for the weekend now, and will be having a friendsgiving type meal tomorrow evening with them which I am very looking forward to ♥. I'm taking off the evening from blogging as I usually do on Saturdays, so I will be back on Sunday with a fresh new post. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening and a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Thankful for Black Friday Bazaar

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features some more group gifts from the Black Friday Bazaar 4 event, organized by Evil Bunny Productions. The free group tag you need is the Evil Bunny Hunts group, and all the gifts are at each display in a black drawstring back with a framed image of the gift next to it. I always enjoy these events and the designers who participate in them, as they combine high quality and affordability. The event is open until the 1st of December, so we have about a week left to stop by. 


For my first look of the evening I chose the Luxury Fashion gift called [LF] Iris Set. It consists of the tied crop top and flared pants with attached belt each in sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The strappy sandals come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High sizing, and even the multilayered necklace I am wearing here is included. Perhaps best of all is the HUD, so we can choose from 8 colors for the top and 6 patterns for the pants. This way we can change up the look with a few quick clicks.


BlondeQueen has a lovely gift for us too, their BQ::Sparkles Dress:: Roses. This flirty halter style mini has revealing cutouts on the sides and a tapered hemline raised up on each side. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. 


This mystical look is the (JR Wolf Creations) Seer Dress, a long sleeved mini with a terrific pattern of moon phases between hands on a galaxy backdrop. Did you notice the fun pockets? It comes in sizes for Alice, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. If it looks familiar, I did blog it about a month ago as a gift from another event, so if you missed it then you have another chance to grab it.


Another striking dress can be found as the gift at the Starlight Apparel Display. Their .{SA}. Raven Berry mini has bare shoulders above long sleeves that are laced loosely on the upper arm, while the entire dress hugs every curve. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. The plum color and the burnt orange ribbon are certainly good choices for autumn, yet I can see wearing them year round too.


For my final look of the evening, I did a little layering :) The tank top is a gift from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. named The WOW Tee, which comes in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. On the right I added the open blouse from ZFG called WYNN MORBID, a buttoned shirt that you can wear just about any bra, tank, or tee beneath (system/BOM is probably easiest). The black on black texture is on theme for Black Friday, and our gift provides sizing for Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. My favorite free jeans came in handy here too, the Delizio fatpack you can find as a marketplace gift. There are several colors included as system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega. 

Thanksgiving is nearly here in the USA, and I think all of my family's plans are going to come together nicely for an afternoon at my grandmother's place. The holiday makes me think of reasons to be grateful, and one of the big ones is this blog and therefore all of you ♥. It may not be the most popular blog out there, far from it, but I work hard to help you find bargains and freebies to enjoy and I appreciate any feedback such as social media likes. I am also thankful that some of my family will be together, and that we've made it through most of another fairly rough year. I'm also very grateful to have Xan in my life, as a partner in the best senses of the word ♥. Okay I know I'm getting mushy, hehe, but the holidays do that to me sometimes. No blog post tomorrow evening, so I can take a nap after all the food and running around. For those of you celebrating I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving, and to everyone a beautiful day/evening as always and lots of magical magpie hugs to all!!

Black Friday Bazaar 4

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it is time to visit the latest Evil Bunny Productions event, the Black Friday Bazaar 4. There we can find plenty of affordable treats as well as a group gift from nearly every designer for the Evil Bunny Hunts group (free to join). Those generous gifts are what I will be starting to show you tonight, as with this many it will definitely be a multi-post type of deal ;) I can never resist free group gifts, and there are dozens in one location so I hope you all enjoy the bounty. The event just opened and it lasts until the first of December.


My first look of the evening is the Indigenous - Bauble Drop Outfit gift. It includes the tied blouse and mini skirt each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies as well as a fitted version for classic avatars. There is also a system/BOM layer tank top that goes perfectly beneath the open shirt if you wish, as you can see on the left above. Black and gold are a timeless classic combo, and the stars add extra pizzazz. 


Next I slipped into the Sweet Intoxication gift called Cordelia - Flaming Scarlet. Our dress and separate belt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizing. The neckline and hem are both distressed for visual interest, and the corset style belt is a beautiful touch. Does the bold red make you think autumn or Christmas?


Maybe you are in the mood for a more summery or tropical look, then be sure to claim the [EN] Emma Dress *Gift* from Enigma Apparel. This charming mini comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The floral pattern looks particularly vibrant against the white background, and I adore the crossed straps in the back.


Does this photo give you all ballerina vibes too? :) The gorgeous dress is our gift from Georg Bellic Design called ~GBD~ Leela pink Dream Dress. It has plenty of sizes for lots of mesh bodies - Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature Alice, Star Body, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim. With all the sparkles in the texture, I decided it was the right outfit to add our [ Achromance ] Star Trio tattoo gift. It comes in faded and fresh BOM layers (fresh shown above) so it works for classic avatars as well as all BOM-compatible mesh bodies. I think the shape of the stars makes me think of a tiara, which may have led to my ballerina thoughts.


My final look of the evening is for those of us who enjoy completing a look with some fresh nail polish. It is the .::Stunner Originals::. Bento Nails Mesh Rounded Long gift, and these luxurious nails come in sizes for Alice, Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Slink, and Star mesh hands. The provided HUD lets you paint both nails of each hand (so both pinkies, both thumbs, both middle fingers, etc.) at a time with your choice of 13 beautiful hues that are mostly solids but with a few glittery colors like my middle and ring fingers above. They are deep, dramatic autumn shades, ready to beautify your fingertips with any outfit you choose.

I had a fairly productive day, and I was very lucky that I rent my skybox from someone reliable. I am a very satisfied Active Urban Rentals customer, and there was a weird glitch earlier with my prim count being way higher than it should be. They promptly verified the problem and reset the region, and I am grateful for their attention to customer service. This is not a sponsored statement in any way, I just believe that positive experiences should be brought to light :) The hockey game I watched tonight was a mess, lol, because my team played like garbage, and they get to play again tomorrow night which is probably too soon. We have reached the stage of the season where the new players are fitting in but oops now everyone is getting injured, so patience is needed. I hope you're all having a delightful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Fallen Leaves and Frost

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am pleased to share more prizes from the FabFree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt, which is open until the end of the month so there is just over a week remaining. The prizes are hidden inside neon rainbows, and cost between $0L - $5L so are either free or very affordable. The hunt's website has all our landmarks and hints, with many preview photos so you can see what you will be claiming when you find the pretty rainbows. Many participating stores have more than one prize for us, which is not surprising since we already knew that FabFree designers are awesome!


My first look features two of the 5 prizes you can find at No Shot. The dress is called ~NS~ Alison Dress Autumn and costs just $1L, including sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. To complete the look I added the free ~NS~ peep toe boots autumn prize, which come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High foot sizing. They are a slightly darker shade of plum than the dress, both of which are lovely and will look terrific with whatever else you might wish to pair them with. The other three prizes include two for the guys, so spread the word and bring your favorite men.


This might be my first Christmas themed photo of the season :) It is two of the 5 free prizes we can find at Sweet Willows, a longtime FabFree designer who even offers a discount in their vendors for all wearing the FabFree group tag. The cutie on the left is (SW) Foxy Outfit - Christmas Wrap while the Santa Baby version is to the right. They each include top and skirt in sizes for Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. These two both have pretty snowflakes on them, and I love the white lace against the green and red. 


This duo is two more of the Sweet Willows prizes, in even more dreamy colors. On the left I'm wearing the (SW) Foxy Outfit - Ice, and the same outfit name in Candy is the pink one on the right. The style is flattering and so are these colors, so I am glad I do not have to choose a favorite ;)


You can probably guess that this is the 5th Sweet Willows prize, their (SW) Foxy Outfit - Elf treat. It comes in the same sizes as all the others (Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique) and has a distinct Christmas flavor with its red snowflakes and jingly bells. The combination of red, white, and green is even more charming with the addition of gold from those bells!


For my final look of the evening, I chose one of the two free gifts for the ladies at AmAzInG CrEaTiOnS. This is their Female Top prize and includes standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. There is also a HUD to tint it in any color you wish, with a color wheel and a button to input RGB numbers if you wish. I left it untinted on the left, then chose a light green in the spirit of the upcoming yule season on the right. If you've read my blog before, you have probably seen these jeans before, as they are a favorite of mine when I need bottoms to share a great new top :) They are a free gift on the marketplace from Delizio, several colors in system/BOM layers as well as Maitreya and Omega appliers.

I am feeling a bit tired from a hectic day, but otherwise doing well, and I have my next few blogs planned out which is always comforting. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring the FabFree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt, an exciting $0L - $5L gridwide hunt in which we are finding pretty neon rainbows that contain a wide range of prizes. If you have a look at the website you will see all the landmarks and hints, with preview photos for most of the prizes. I always enjoy sharing information about affordable treats, and FabFree has many wonderful participating designers so it is fun to browse the stores while we hunt :) 


My first look comes from [Ari-Pari] and is called Juniper Outfit. Find their $1L rainbow and you can claim this charming striped sweater and sleek dressy pants each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. There is also a HUD provided with 5 colors for each piece, so you can mix and match your hues. I love knit textures for this time of year, and these options are lovely autumnal colors.


Next I picked up this flirty (RP) Everlie Autumn Dress from Roped Passions, one of two free gifts you can find there with the same hint but in different spots in their store. The other is a matching men's sweater, so you can coordinate outfits with your favorite guy :) Everlie comes in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body sizing. The striped knit pattern looks great on the cold shouldered style turtleneck dress, so cozy!


Another exciting place to visit is Ruxy, who are offering 3 free prizes for us to find. This is their Clara Dress >Cod7< Orange in a beautiful satin texture with golden studs on the bodice. It comes in Legacy and Maitreya sizes, both with that sexy strapless style that has a bold slit on the left thigh almost up to the waist. 


i also claimed the Ruxy-Scarlett Yellow prize, which is delightfully revealing in more than one way. It consists of the corset top, classic skirt, and "blow up" skirt each in Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. The blow up skirt is the one I am wearing on the right above, and it does look like the wind has caught the back to lift it up provocatively. The corset top's bra cups are sheer black lace, for more eye-popping details. 


For my final look this evening, we complete the trio of Ruxy prizes by taking a peek at their Anna orange romper. It includes Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. The style is so playful, with two wisps of white lace held in place by a golden necklace as a halter, and bold corset belt above brief satin shorts. This is such a flirtatious look and in colors that are just right for the season.

It was a full weekend with lots to do both out and about and here at home, especially making plans for Thanksgiving. I will be attending a small celebration (9 fully vaccinated people) at my grandmother's house on Thursday, then a friendsgiving type meal on Saturday with just 5 total people, also fully vaxxed. Speaking of which, I am feeling pretty good a few days after my booster and just have a touch of soreness in my arm. I haven't seen my grandmother in nearly two years so I am excited about that, and the same goes for the special guest on Saturday ♥. They will be a houseguest for the weekend so I have some very busy days ahead, and will adjust my blogging schedule accordingly. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Scandalous Weekend

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am back with a visit to the Scandalize outlet, where you can join the free Scandals SL Frees & News group and then claiming an impressive amount of group gifts which are fatpacks from Scandalize. Every item in the outlet has the group's logo (black flower shape) that you can click with the tag active to receive these generous rewards. They all have HUDs with a wide range of colors and some even have various patterns, so we can change the appearances of the clothing very easily. I am not sure how long this offer will last, but I heard about it a few months back as potentially limited time so it is worth mentioning just in case.


My first look is two gifts combined since their names indicate that they can be worn together :) The top and pants are the SCANDALIZE. Casandra. FATPACK, with each included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. The leggings HUD offers 42 solid colors and 22 waist solid colors, as well as 42 dots colors for the legs and 22 dots for the waist. The top's HUD has 42 solid colors and 42 dots choices, with 42 matching colors for the lace trim. Then I added the SCANDALIZE. Casandra.Cardigan. FATPACK which provides the same sizes and a handy HUD with 42 solid, 42 dots, 22 stripes, 42 cuff colors, and 42 hem colors. Stripes are such a classic choice for cardigans or any knit clothing really, so I found this cardigan particularly cozy. 


Next I changed into the SCANDALIZE. Aleana. FATPACK group gift, consisting of the tank top and jumpsuit each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes, as well as the HUDs to make it a fatpack :) The top's HUD has 42 solid options, 22 stripes colors, and 22 scandal colors (each has the word Scandal across it as seen above), while the top pattern HUD has 15 beautiful choices. The jumpsuit HUD offers 42 solids and 22 stripes each for the suspenders, waist, and pants sections. Then there is a jumpsuit pattern HUD with 15 textures to match the top's texture choices, for suspenders and waist as well as the main pant legs. I know these explanations are complicated, so I'll repeat my oft-used advice of just have fun clicking various buttons until you create the look you wish :)


I was in a casual mood for the weekend, so my next selection to share was the SCANDALIZE. Hustle. FATPACK of cropped sweat jacket and low rise sweatpants. They each come in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing, with HUDs galore! The jacket HUD has 42 solids and 42 hustle (the word Hustle appears on the front and back) with 42 colors for the trim, then the straps HUD lets you choose from 42 colors each for the jacket stripes and bottoms stripes/straps. The HUD for the bottoms has 42 colors each for the waist, bottoms (main pant leg), and straps (stripes), then there is even a HUD for the knot and metals so you can pick from 42 colors for the knot in front of the waistband and 2 metal options. You can use a different color for everything and go wild, or stick to one or two colors for a more uniform look.


This flirty look is the SCANDALIZE. Nivvi. FATPACK group gift, whose jumpsuit comes in original and metals versions with different belt styles, each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. Of course there are HUDs so we can add some color :) The main HUD offers 42 colors each for the top, waist, and pants, with 22 pants ombres like the one I chose on the right above. The belt HUD has 42 choices for the bow (the non-metals version which I am wearing on the right) and 7 metals that work on the metals version of the jumpsuit (left above). The belt on the non-metals jumpsuit has a sash style that hangs down on one side, so pretty!


My final look this evening is the SCANDALIZE. Nairi. FATPACK group gift. Our dress and lacy bralette are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a string (C-string, no sides, modesty panel) packed separately in the same sizing. The main HUD has 42 solids and 22 ombres each for dress and bralette, plus 22 dress prints like the plaid seen above left. The HUD for the belt offers 42 solid colors and 22 metals, so there are plenty of possibilities. 

I took yesterday off from blogging because of my vaccine booster and concerns about understandable and temporary side effects, so it's only fair that I fill you in on how it went :) There were lots of families there with kids getting their first doses, and they were all remarkably well behaved and seemed happy to be able to do something so they can safely play with their friends again. I had all my paperwork ready and it didn't take very long, and I was fine until I got to the car afterwards and all my built up anxiety (a longtime issue of mine) came out in the form of a panic attack. They happen, and they always go away eventually ;) My arm is sore but not as bad as last time with dose 2, and I had a slightly elevated temperature last night of 98.5 compared to my usual 97 since apparently I'm part cold blooded lizard person, LOL. Today has been up and down with occasionally feeling warm and tired, but overall I am doing pretty well and am glad I will be safe to be around my 95 year old grandmother next Thursday ♥. Okay enough vax talk from me, just sharing and not telling anyone what to do.

I am happy to be going to the farmers market tomorrow morning, and enjoyed dinner with my parents earlier. Other than that I plan on resting as much as I can, and taking my usual Saturday evening off from blogging. I will be back on Sunday with more goodies to tempt all of you with, but meanwhile I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the Happy Event, who are celebrating their 1st anniversary this round with some free gifts from various designers. There is no group needed to claim them, and I saw a few that were $10L or so in addition to the $0L freebies I am featuring this evening. It was interesting to me that there were several tattoos among these gifts, so I had lots of fun showing off a handful of those too :) This round of the Happy Event is open until the 28th, and each designer is offering $99L exclusives to make your visit even more happy.


We start the evening with the ***LURE*** Dress ELLE which is provided in Black Panther and Red versions so you have two terrific gifts in one. Each color is provided in sizes for Kupra, Kupra Kups, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with deep V neck and crossed back straps for lots of visual interest. The texture looks like it is reflective and deserves to be taken out dancing :)


This sexy bikini is the .Hot Stuff. gift called HS Nala Bikini, consisting of bra and thong each in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. It has a pretty pattern of strawberries on a white backdrop, and I must say that thong is especially revealing both front and rear. That works out well for showing off tattoos as you can see, like the VooDoo Tattoo - Cest la Vie [Faded BOM] gift. Its body art decorates the shoulders, upper arms, chest, abdomen, back, and even upper front thighs with various designs. I was drawn to the rose on the spine, and the cat on one leg with a fox on the other for two beautiful creatures among the flowers. As the name indicates, this is provided as a system/BOM layer for classic avatars or any BOM compatible mesh body.


Mixing and matching is a concept I mention here frequently, but not usually with tattoos. However that is exactly what you can do with the Vera Tattoo 5 PHRASES TATTOO free gift since it is 5 system/BOM layers with a different image on each. On the front you can see Let Your Dreams (the rest says "guide your ways"), Follow your Heart, and Be Mine, while on the back is Free Spirit and Don't Wait. That last one is on the spine and reads "don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it special" beneath a rosebud. One of the great things about BOM is that you can use multiple layers at once, as with an applier system you would have to select just one. 


Next I changed into the [:: Moonlight Shadow ::] Tattoo Moonlight gift, with two crescent moons on our back almost mimicking a yin yang symbol. Claim this free gift and you will receive a system/BOM layer as well as appliers for Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Omega. It is versatile as well as being lovely artwork.


My final look of the evening is an ideal choice for heading out while looking casually cute. The sweater is our gift from Mara's Meshy Stuff, their Green striped cardigan which is provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya body sizes. It is cropped and has a fun knit texture. The way the front is almost open makes me think of potential layering possibilities, like a short tank top for a warmer look. I needed to cover myself beneath the waist too of course, so I turned (as I do so often here) to my favorite marketplace gift which is a fatpack of jeans from Delizio. They come in several colors as system/BOM layers along with Maitreya and Omega appliers. 

Tomorrow is my evening off to recover from whatever my body does in response to the booster tomorrow afternoon, hehe, which could be as simple as tiredness and a sore arm but I am preparing for anything. The second dose made my neuropathy flare up, which means painful hands and feet. The water company is doing a grand finale tomorrow of their pipe replacement, which means they have to shut the water for 6 hours and it will be discolored when it returns. Doesn't that sound exciting? I will be eating takeout so I don't need water to cook, so it might not be too much of an inconvenience. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!! See you on Friday evening :)
