Jerky Turkey Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we begin exploring the Jerky Turkey Hunt 12, which amuses me to realize that it is the dozenth time I am looking for these bright orange turkey feathers :) The story is that the jerky turkey is running all over SL causing trouble, but he leaves a feather behind in some stores so we can get a reward for finding it and helping to clean up his mess. The prizes are just $1L apiece, so as you can imagine they are worth far more than the tiny amount we are paying for each. The hunt's website guides us with landmarks, hints, and previews for most of them so we know what each feather contains before we visit. The hunt lasts for the remainder of the month, so there is plenty of time to pick up the turkey's path and look for those feathers.


First up, we have the prize from Grumble, whose designer is also our hunt organizer. Their Star Gazing Outfit includes top and bottom each in sizes for eBody Reborn, eBody Reborn Juicy, Freya, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I am so impressed by the rainbow of stars decorating the black backdrop, and the sheer sections with black lace embroidered throughout. 


I found the snuggly looking MACY - TURKEY sweater inside the ZFG feather, and am so happy that I did! The cowl neckline and 3/4 length sleeves add warmth, while the hem is slightly raised on one side for a peek of midriff. It is provided in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Physique sizes (via unpacker HUD so you only need to unpack the sizes you wear), as well as a 5 color HUD to add variety. How did we ever get by in SL without HUDs? :) I added the black pair from my favorite marketplace gift, a fatpack of jeans from Delizio, which contains system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega in several denim shades. 


This absolutely lovely dress is the Autumn Song prize from Indigenous. The style does make me think of fall, with flowy skirt and sleeves in addition to that leafy pattern. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, eBody Reborn, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies provided, and a HUD with 5 colors for the pretty texture. Those keyhole openings front and back are delightful details, as is the solid colored sash of a belt. 


Emi's Attic managed to fit an entire fatpack inside their feather, an impressive accomplishment to be sure! This is their Ella Rae Jumpsuit Collection, consisting of 8 versions (numbered 1-8) each in eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. The matching belt is built into each version, and the style is ideal for this time of year while being appropriate for whenever you wish to wear it. 


My final look of the evening is a beautiful outfit from Artic Storm called *AS* Fiore Top&Jeans Succulent Green. The flirty top, tied in the front, comes in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Kupra Original, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies, while the jeans are a similar set of sizes - Altamura, eBody, Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Love Momma, Maitreya, Reborn, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. The top has a dainty pattern stitched over slender stripes that match the jeans, so it is a subtle yet playful mixture of textures that I really enjoy. Now I just need to see if I can find a close enough pair of green shoes to wear with it, or should I go with black? Neutral taupe, brown, gold? There don't seem to be any wrong answers. 

My Thanksgiving planning is a little frustrating since I seem to be the only one interested in talking about it yet, despite having just over 2 weeks to figure out what all 10 people will be comfortable eating. 4 are pescatarians, 2 are gluten free, 2 are very sensitive to spices (yep I'm one of those), and 2 would eat beef and/or bacon for every dang meal if practical. My grandma's stove is still busted, so all food must be prepared ahead of time and suitable for microwaving. Honestly I don't think she can afford to repair or replace the stove, and her caretaker wasn't using it anyway, so I am thinking crockpots are going to be the appliance du jour. We have to get that message across to both cousins and their wives, as they both usually bring things that need to go into the oven. My mom plans on texting them but neither are very swift at replying, so we shall see how long this takes to sort out. I don't even know who's bringing turkey, usually the main course! *deep breaths* Things will work out, it just takes time and teamwork. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
