More Uber Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more UBER Event gifts to share, and as I explained in my prior post they are all located at the designers' mainstores instead of at the event itself. This means we are visiting dozens of locations to find generous free treats, most of which do not require a specific group tag, and mostly found inside a tan Uber giftbox with yellow-gold ribbon and bow. Our first stop is the event to gather the landmarks from signs or giftboxes at their displays, then we head out to all the wonderful stores :)


My first look this evening starts with the Mimikri gift called Amalfi Cotton Batiste Dress cruise. This gift consists of the slightly sheer dress in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, with panties to fit both Legacy and Maitreya bodies. The pretty blue shade matches some of the beading of the Meva Allegra Set, their beautiful jewelry gift for us. The necklace has many strands of varied lengths for an impressive look, with a pendant that perfectly matches the included earrings. What will you pair them with?


Time for sex appeal! This top is the Lua / FATPACK gift from Bombshell, a daring bra in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 13 colors each for the gems and the metals, so can customize the look of your jeweled bra to suit your mood or favorites. Then I added the .Safira. Dolly Panties Blush, a gift we can find on the wall to the right from the main entrance. I mention that because it is one of the rare ones not in the Uber gift box, still entirely free :) These playful panties fit Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, in a lovely shade of pink with a big bow on the back. I know you can't see it in this photo, but please take a peek below...


The blush color of the panties gently brings out the floral pattern in our OSMIA - Tie Neck Crop Top gift. I am a huge fan of halter styles and crossed straps, and the cropped length is just right for late summer into fall. This gift is provided in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 


Fake Society has a provocative and generous gift for us, their Vanya Dress / Fatpack. There are 14 terrific colors (black, blue, cobalt, forest, grey, lime, nude, orange, pink, red, rose, rouge, white, yellow) each in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn body sizing. I'm wearing the forest color on the left above, with rose on the right. This strappy style has plenty of peekaboo openings while covering the essentials. 


We wrap up the evening in shiny crimson, thanks to United Colors and their UC_Jenifer_outfit_red gift. The top and shorts each fit Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and there is a handy HUD for each piece offering 12 colors for the laces and 5 metals for the grommets and waistband snap. The two HUDs allows us to pick different choices for each as I did on the right. 

This is a week of flexibility for me, as I've had several plans changing and I wouldn't be surprised if there are more switches in the offing. For now I have a blood draw tomorrow but I do not need to fast for it, so it isn't really a big deal. The new month is almost here, so I will be researching and trying to see what to expect for September in SL :) Event rounds, hunts, sales...there is always something happening somewhere in the grid that will catch my attention, and I will gladly share what I find. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Anniversary Uber

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are celebrating the 8th anniversary round of the UBER Event, with a little twist. Instead of gifts at the event itself, there are landmarks at each display of the stores who are participating so we can visit their mainstore to find the gifts. They are mostly in boxes that are tan with a golden yellow ribbon tied in a bow, and I suggest checking for a front desk at each store to help you locate these gifts. The vast majority do not need any special group tag to claim them, so they are free for everyone to enjoy. This round is open until the 22nd of September and I believe the gifts will be available for the same time frame. There are pros and cons to this method, with a drawback being that teleporting so many times can strain the PC, but pluses are that you don't have to battle Uber's crowds for long if it is busy, and the stores can offer additional sales if they wish. 


First I slipped into the [[ Masoom ]] Fall Vibes Gift, a one-sleeved ruched mini dress with strapless thong. They each fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The color is so glowy and vibrant, I love it!


Next we take a look at the charming GIZ SEORN: UBER Anniversary Gift. Our simply named sleeveless dress is unbuttoned to show the built in bra layer, and there is an attached belt to cinch the waist. The gift comes in sizes for Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I really like the tropical print!


For something extra flirty, be sure to visit ~Nerido~ and claim their free Karole Set-White GIFT. The bra top with one strap folded down and matching panties are each included in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. There is also a HUD for the grommets with 10 colors, as well as a HUD to turn sparkles off and on. 


I also visited [ west end ] where I found their wonderful Vero Jean Dress - FATPACK gift. The style is simple yet unique, thanks to the way the straps connect at the back of the neck to show scooped out shoulderblades :) The dress comes in sizing for Alice, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a HUD that lets us choose from 14 colors in 3 varieties for 42 total options. The polka dots look great either light or dark, and we can select a solid denim hue if we prefer.


My final look this evening combines two Uber gifts, but we can of course pair these separates up however we wish. The top is the Tachinni - Aria top - Uber Gift, whose unpacker HUD lets us choose from Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn sizes or we can unpack them all at once. The heart-dotted top has long sleeves and is held loosely closed by one single chain. The pants are the !EE Rudbeckia leggings Gift from !ElvenElder, with deep plunging front and extended hem that covers the heels and seems to work best for Mid height feet. There are Legacy and Maitreya sizes provided, with a 21-color HUD as well as a materials glossiness HUD. Most of the colors are solid, but there were a pattern or two among the choices so I suggest checking them all out :) 

It was just one of those days, and I have to reschedule my chiropractor appointment that should have been tomorrow afternoon but I now have no way there due to a minor medical issue (not mine). It will probably be next week instead, not a big deal other than the last minute change probably inconveniencing the office for which I do feel guilty and will be apologizing profusely. I also have a podiatrist appointment this week, so time will tell if that still takes place. I would prefer it does, as it's already later than it should be and my toenails are really uncomfortable. This is why my grandmother always says "don't get old!", LOL, things fall apart ;) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Up To Date Fashion

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features a store that is new to me, so I am clearly excited to make their acquaintance and share my findings with all of you. The store is called UpToDate! Fashion, and their group is free to join so we can easily claim all 11 gifts currently available. There are 10 behind the front desk and one on a large sign in the right corner of that wall, and while you visit please be sure to check out the 4 lucky chairs in the room to the right of that main entrance room. While I was there for a while (about an hour) none of them changed to a D so I did not win anything yet, cannot tell if they are set for group members only or not. I would like to mention that if you wear a Kupra mesh body, you especially will want to visit UpToDate! as they have 4 gifts specifically for just that brand of body :) The store's general style, as you are about to see, is very sexy with bold colors or combinations that are sure to catch your eye.


My first look is the UpToDate! Group gift dress, a stunner in red and black with a collar that connects to the bodice almost like a tie. The gift includes Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, and because of the way it is gathered in the front I do recommend wearing panties with it. 


The UpToDate!-"ChaCha" dress Group gift is revealing enough that I almost want to label it as a top instead of a dress ;) This diagonal cut frock has a lacy panel on half of the front, with ruffled edging for another feminine touch. There are sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Star, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies in this gift, so plenty of versatility. Now my brand new panties are even more visible here so I think it's only fair to give you the details...they are a free gift on the marketplace from Lilbird! There are 4 colors, all in BOM layers so any compatible mesh body as well as classic avatars can wear these sweet treats.


If you are headed to a cold climate in SL soon, you will want to bring this terrific gift called UpToDate! - "SexyWinter" group gift. Our hoodie and mini skirt each come in plenty of sizes - Altamura, Freya, Isis, eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Hourglass, Kupra Original, Bimbo, Low, Kups A, Kups B, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, and Love Momma. I didn't see the Maitreya original chest among the hoodies so I am wearing the Petite with the breasts alpha'd out, and with a baggy top like this it isn't very noticeable at all. 


That cute skirt from the prior gift came in handy again so I could share the UpToDate! - "Provocateur" top group gift, a sheer tank top with ruffles at the arms and two tiny closures holding the front together. We could easily layer a bra or pasties beneath if going somewhere that modesty is an issue. This top gets provocative in Maitreya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. 


My final look this evening is the Up To Date Lucky Dress, a romantic slip dress with hearts and love featured prominently on its pattern :) The gift includes sizing for Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. I feel like it might have been released around Valentines, but with the blue and white colors are not traditional for it and not limited by any means to that time of year. I certainly love it like a valentine though!

My weekend was pretty good overall, although tonight my stomach is fairly unhappy so I am trying to keep things calm. Sometimes it doesn't matter what I eat or what I do, my guts just decide to be difficult. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree and Saturday Sale

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was eager to check out more FabFree in SL group gifts, as new ones are added to the blog all the time and there are dozens and dozens waiting for us. The FabFree group is always free to join, so these are easy on the budget and great reasons to visit the participating stores. We can find new favorites that way, and explore to see what tempting sales might be going on right now :) Speaking of sales, I am also delighted to show you a sampling of the 16 new styles of a sizzling hot bodysuit that Entice has released for The Saturday Sale at a discounted price. I appreciate their bargains so deeply, and sharing them is one of my favorite things to do.



My first look tonight is the NoShot gift called ~NS~ FabFree gift April 2022. It consists of two colors of their Verity Flower top and skirt, violet and white, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I couldn't resist mixing them up but you can certain go all-white or all-violet if you prefer, just let your mood be your guide.


I also visited Princess Stuff where I claimed their exclusive FabFree group gift dated 05/22. The cutout top has a fun image on the front of several drinks, and the ombre jeans shorts are distressed in the front with points in the back. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes for each, with additional Tonic Curvy and Tonic Fine sizes for the shorts. This is a wonderful casual outfit with a generous dose of sex appeal!


Next we have the charming Dress USDS from Petry Model. The sundress fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and there is a HUD with 21 texture choices that are a mix of solids and patterns. Each print has a solid color selected for the trim, so we are well coordinated no matter what we choose :) I love this style for the summer, although I'll gladly wear it into autumn and probably beyond.


If you are a fan of the color red, be sure to claim the AmAzInG CrEaTiOnS FabFree Gift 2022 dress! It is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. The daring style reveals the left leg all the way up to the thigh, and the plunging neckline is a terrific detail too. 


My final look of the evening brings us to Entice for their Saturday Sale offerings, a grand total of 16 new versions of their So Good Bodysuit. I'm wearing Flowers on the left above, and Gold on the right, with other choices including a variety of prints and solid colors. They are $75L each until September 1st, so a few days to take advantage of this great deal :) Each bodysuit comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a 5 metal HUD for the loops on the shoulder straps. The ladder of straps on both front and back are real head-turners, as is that slender thong! The previously released versions are currently discounted as well, individual styles for $199L or fatpacks in Animals, Darks, Lights, or Prints for $549L. If you want all the prior releases at once, you can even choose the mega fatpack for $1899L with 40 incredible varieties. 

Are you ready for the weekend? I certainly am, with my main focus being on the farmers market tomorrow morning then lots of relaxation :) Maybe I will find a movie to watch that I either haven't seen yet or just haven't watched in ages, for a touch of nostalgia. The week ahead will be busy, and I did not sleep well the past few days, so that means I need a restful few days. I hope you all have a magnificent weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Warehouse Sale

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are celebrating The Warehouse Sale's 2nd anniversary, which means free gifts for the event's group which is also free to join. Just look for the TWS crates at many of the displays, which mostly have pictures or samples of the prizes inside. The event is post-apocalyptic themed so plenty of the gifts and sales offers are based on the theme but not all; this way we can still find quite a variety for any preferences. There are clothing and accessories for men and women as well as home decor among the selections, so be sure to look around and enjoy your visit!


For my first look this evening, I started with the B&S Canada. #8 dress which is our gift from Apple Blossom. This strapless mini has a sheer corset top with floral embroidery, and a vivid satin skirt that hugs us perfectly. There are Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes included in this gift. Then I added the ::C'est la vie !:: Orpha Bangle for the left wrist, which includes a 5 color HUD to select the metallic hue of your choice. Its simple elegance means it will coordinate with anything you wish.


Next I kept the Apple Blossom dress on but added the {le fil casse} Sherrina Cardigan Celestial gift. This slouchy sweater fits eBody Reborn, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and has a galaxy of celestial images decorating it :) I also found the perfect neckwear to accessorize with, the ::Static:: Agrace Choker Brown gift. The black lace ribbon is tied with brown string that dangles in the front with a loose bow, two neutral colors that we can wear with a huge variety of outfits.


Another fun combo I came up with starts with the -Sorumin- Ruched Crop Top -Black&Dirt-. The name describes it quite well, and I love the way it hugs my curves! The gift consists of eBody, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing. I paired it with the #error - gift for TWS, which is a flirty skirt that plays what I like to call peek-a-booty in the back ;) The coral colored skirt has a black waistband tied with a large coral bow in the rear, above a short skirt that is lifted on the right side to reveal considerable cheek or your favorite pair of panties. There are sizes for eBody, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies included. 


For this look I went somewhat casual with the shirt, which is our Loki - Heart Rib Cage Tee - Black&White gift. I adore raglan tees (the diagonal seams and contrasting colors are hallmarks of this style) and the cropped length is cozy looking, while the heart shaped ribcage image adds intrigue. It will fit eBody Reborn, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies just right. To keep with the heart motif, I selected the S-CLUB GIFT Earrings 0222 TWS, whose open gold hearts contain a black heart beneath a pearl. They are lovely and I lucked out that they fit perfectly, but they can be adjusted if necessary. 


My final look of the evening is showing a couple more ways of adding to your look and personalizing it. The eye makeup is the keikumu - nafta eyelook (gift) provided as a BOM layer for EvoX compatible heads, and is a dramatic wash of smoky green and black with shimmery white liner in the inner corner and part of the upper lid. My delicate piercing is the {minuit} Cullen Septum [FATPACK] gift, with resize and unrigged versions (unrigged shown, edited slightly to move to a more visible position) that include a HUD with 8 colors. I decided we needed a closer view and picked out some less traditional metal shades, and I think the closeup shows the bat shape particularly well. I am guessing Cullen is a Twilight reference, so vampire = bat? Please forgive me if way off base there, Twilight is not a field of expertise but I've heard the names a fair bit. 

Yesterday's dental visit went decently, with the 2 minor fillings taken care of relatively easily. The numbness didn't last nearly as long as the last time, which was a relief, and I am going to be even more careful about any old fillings or areas that could eventually develop problems. The weather is going to be extra hot the next several days, but so far my usual Friday and Saturday plans are still in place. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

WellMade Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I stopped by [WellMade] who are celebrating their 7th anniversary with a storewide sale, so it's a great time to do some shopping! In addition to the sale, they have a free store group with several gifts currently available, all excellent quality as I've always found their merchandise to be. The group gifts room has lots of treats for other groups as well, so be sure to take a peek if you're a member of multi-designer groups like FabFree, SLFO, etc. since you will probably find others you can claim while you visit.


My first look is their most recent group gift, the [WellMade] Peggy Outfit GIFT. The corset top and shorts are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes. There is also a HUD that offers 7 colors and 5 metals for each part, with the metal being the rivets around the lacing that appears on both. The fabric has a very subtle texture that looks great in any color, and this outfit is ideal for the warm weather.


Next we take a look at the [WellMade] Isadore Outfit GIFT, whose halter top and tight mini skirt will each fit Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Hourglass Petite mesh bodies. The included HUD has 6 choices for the top and 3 solid colors for the skirt, and I am guessing that the three colors each of inverted crosses and ghosts on the top were intended as a Halloween season gift :) That will not stop me from wearing it whenever I wish of course, although October will be here before we know it.


The [WellMade] Yareli Outfit GIFT consists of a bodysuit and cropped jacket that are each sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The HUD lets us choose from two leopard prints for the bodysuit, and 2 colors for the jacket, pockets, and belt. I chose to wear the bodysuit alone on the left and then added the jacket on the right so you could see it both ways, demonstrating its versatility.


If you can't get enough animal print (like me) then be sure to claim their [WellMade] Pallas Dress GIFT too! This charming long sleeved mini dress is ruched in the front, beneath a midriff opening that goes most of the way around the waist. There are Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes included, along with an 18-color HUD so you can pick your favorite background hue. 


My final look this evening is the sexy [WellMade] Luvy Bodysuit group gift. It combines some of my favorite features with its crossed straps, lace overlay, and of course a generous 22 color HUD for changing to suit any mood :) The bodysuit is provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I think that scalloped neckline is begging to show off a favorite pendant, don't you?

There will be no blog post tomorrow evening as I will be recovering from my dentist follow-up with 2 fillings. The nitrous leaves me tired every time, but it is essential for someone with as much fear as I've always had of dental work. I know it will be fine, and I'll be back with a fresh new post on Thursday evening. Meanwhile I hope you all have a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Mesh Body Friends Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting some of the participating stores of the Mesh Body Friends group, specifically ones who are currently offering free gifts for members of the MBF group :) It is a great source of information about sales and special offers, so the group gifts are a fun bonus for staying in the free group. I enjoyed visiting both the familiar stores and ones that are new to me, always a tantalizing variety. 


My first stop of the day was a store with two different brands that I believe are from the same designer. This the flirty METAPHOR-Darwi Bikini-FatPack, with bikini top and panties each provided in Legacy and Maitreya sizes. The HUD offers 15 solid colors, 10 patterns, and 4 metals for the chains on the left bra strap and left side of the panty. With all those options, we can come up with dozens of combinations to let our creativity run wild!


Also on the same wall, above the Mesh Body Friends sign, you will find this sweet but sexy ZAFIA Top and Jeans Gift. There are system layers and appliers for Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP bodies, so this is compatible with most avatars. The gingham print on the top goes surprisingly well with the distressed shredded jeans that have an open fly for added sex appeal. I might want to find a pair of white panties to layer beneath for modesty at non-adult destinations though ;)


Next I visited Uni-qu3 and claimed their Royal Lathia dress hud gift. This amazing gown includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a HUD that offers 20 colors apiece for the drape, dress, and tail. I think the satiny texture looks wonderful in any hue, and the train makes me want to suggest this as a potential wedding dress. 


I also stopped by SpellBound Boutique, where I found this flirty Sehina Mini Black group gift for MBF. The solid black corset top is complemented by a very short skirt with sheer stripes and dotted lines, making this little black dress anything but basic. There are Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Slink sizes included in this gift. 


My final look of the evening is courtesy of BLUEBELL and is called Antonia Dress - Mesh Body Friends. The sleeves are so pretty, I want to call them draped and drop sleeves? Bare shoulders will always get my attention especially in this warm weather, and the built in belt is a fun contrast in a neutral shade to flatter the hot red shade of the dress. Claim this gift and you'll receive sizing for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Dragon, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 

My brain couldn't decide if it was Monday or Tuesday all day, LOL, so my day was fine but confusing I suppose. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

New At Luna Chelsea

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more generous goodies from Luna Chelsea to share. Their group is free to join, and there are several group gifts waiting for us in the corner of the same room as their lucky chairs. Speaking of which, I got a tip from a friend and fellow blogger *Hiya Caroline!* that the prizes on the chairs had changed so we can win a brand new set of exciting goodies! The group gifts are set up with their vending system so you can get a redelivery if you ever need one, but that means we have to pay $1L which is refunded while the gift is delivered. So it works out to be free in the end, and they are very generous gifts that I am delighted to add to my wardrobe.


I started the evening with the beautiful TAVIN DRESS lucky chair prize, a pleated maxi dress that is cinched at the waist for a shapely style. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD to select from 10 colors of the floral pattern. I always enjoy a nice flowery fabric, and the ability to change the background color is a terrific bonus.


This lovely lucky chair prize is called GALEN SATIN ED. Its top and skirt each fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and there is a HUD included with 72 colors each for top, ribbon, skirt, and the skirt's ribbon. This way we can mix and match to create the look we desire, just look for the tabs on the right side of the HUD for each area to tint. The flirty style definitely caught my eye too, so it was very fortunate that I managed to win this treat. 


Next I switched to group gifts, like this stunning CLEO SET FLORAL ED outfit. The top and skirt are each included in sizes for eBody Reborn, Juicy, Mounds, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Perky Pushup, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. There's also a HUD with 18 colors apiece for the floral print top and solid skirt, for customizing fun :)



Another impressive group gift is the SHANNYA SET, whose shirt and skirt each come in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizing. The sleeves are sheer on the cropped blouse, and the built in belt really suits the buttoned mini skirt nicely. 


The LISSA STYLE SET is a pairing of heart shaped halter top and capri pants that are each provided in sizing for Freya, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with matching wedges that fit Belleza, Kupra, Maitreya, and Slink feet. There is a HUD for the top and pants with 55 textures for the top and 14 colors for the pants, while the shoes are part of their Color My World line so they have a menu on touch with 70+ color choices. Either way, the notecards in any of their fashions will guide you to adjusting your new clothing's color or texture to your personal tastes. 

It sometimes feels like my one-day weekend breaks from blogging are even longer than that, but probably because I try to fit so much into those days that being extra busy makes the difference. Xan and I spent Saturday evening exploring a new-to-us area found in the destination guide, as we love to do from time to time, and I spent more time than I planned at those lucky chairs ;) Overall I had a very nice weekend and hope all of you did too, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Luck At Luna Chelsea

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are starting the weekend with a little luck, thanks to Luna Chelsea and their lucky chairs. There are about a dozen chairs (just realizing I never counted) that change every 12 minutes or so, and you don't even need a group tag to win these prizes. Just have a seat when your initial comes up and you win! The styles are generally sexy outfits with color changing abilities, so that adds versatility to these wonderful treats. Their group is free to join so I will be posting their group gifts soon as well, but I also want to mention that the midnight mania boards in the same room as the lucky chairs do not need the group tag active to click them either. So please give them a tickle when you visit :)


My first look tonight is the lucky chair prize called ANNIA JUMPSUIT SATIN. Just look at that shimmer! The jumpsuit comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. We also receive a HUD with 72 different colors to tint it, and I really like the way the HUD has the colors sorted and named for ease of selection.


Next I changed into the charming PINA DRESS SATIN, another treat with shiny fabric and multiple colors to choose from. For this one there is no HUD, but (as the notecard in the folder will tell you) we right click the dress from inventory and click "touch" to bring up a menu with 66 colors sorted by scheme (reds, yellows, etc.). I must say, the butter on the right above really impressed me, particularly since I avoid yellows based on my RL and SL coloring. The dress will fit eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. 


It is certainly shorts season in RL here, but it can be shorts season in SL any time of year so the FAY SHORT SET lucky chair prize is always timely. The bare shouldered top with short sleeves and cute figure-hugging shorts are each provided in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies, with a handy HUD that lets us pick from 30 textures that are mostly solids with a few great patterns mixed in. There is something really fun about lightweight knits for warm weather, and I love the way the waistband dips just enough to show off the navel.


The EVIE SET NET is also waiting for you in a lucky chair to put the va-va-voom in your weekend! The fishnet dress and solid top are provided in Erika, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, and the panties are a mod BOM layer packed separately inside. That means that we can modify them by changing colors in edit mode, any color at all :) There is a HUD for the dress and top with 72 colors each, for even more mixing and matching. I liked the coral color so much on the right that I chose it for both pieces. 


For my final look of the evening, I was so excited to win the ADELIA DESIGNER SET outfit! This prize includes solid and transparent versions of the dress, and panties, each in sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, as well as the sunglasses I am wearing and the heels that fit Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya feet. The HUD provided offers 11 colors of the playful texture seen above (solid for panties) for each piece separately (dress, trim, panties, shoes, glasses). There is a lot we can do to get creative with these HUDs, and I am definitely a fan of the ability to switch up colors with a few simple clicks.

I had a wonderful morning with a talented SL designer who asked me to pose for her store's 2023 calendar, and I cannot tell you how honored I am! ♥ I've never been a calendar girl before, and she chose a beautiful location so I can't wait to see the photos. I had dinner with my parents as I usually do on Fridays, and tomorrow is looking to be warm and sunny for the farmers market. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
