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 :)
