Happy Anniversary ACCESS

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was very lucky to get into the ACCESS region soon after they opened their 5th anniversary round. This means that there are lots of gifts for their free VIP group to help celebrate, in addition to the traditional array of exclusive offers you will find each round. The gifts are in pretty teal boxes with black ribbon, just give them each a click with the group tag active to receive their contents. If it is still crowded and the main sim/region (I know the correct terminology is region but I'm SL-old and still think sim, LOL) is full, there are two cam shopping sims set up, links here and here. Just use your camera controls to zoom on in and grab gifts, pick up some demos, and see what tickles your fancy. Please note, there are an impressive number of treats (both free and for sale) for the guys, mainly in the center area of the room, but it is worth spreading the word to your favorite male avatars :)


My first look is the wonderful neve gift - april access dress, a sweet spaghetti strap dress gathered softly down the front and trimmed in lace. There are Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD with 4 colors and the option to make the lace sheer as I did on the right above. Unchecked it stays solid like on the left side of this image. I genuinely like it both ways, and am always impressed with neve's generosity anytime I encounter them at an event or the like. Shop & Hop comes to mind, and one of those will be here in just over a week!


The neve dress is good for multiple seasons, but what if you wear it somewhere and the SL weather turns chilly? Fortunately the gift from Palette, their Juliet Bomber [Black], looks amazing atop it or just about anything you wish! We receive eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya sizes of the cropped jacket, and a HUD with 2 fur choices which are both seen above. Sometimes a bold contrast is called for like the white fur, and other times the matching black fur is just right since the fluffy texture provides enough distinction.


[Glitzz] is ready to help us embrace our sensual side with their gift of Kayla Lingerie - Floral. The corset comes in sizes for Domina Smash, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Nerido Push Up, Reborn, and Juicy bodies, while the panties fit Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn. There is also a HUD with 3 metal tones to choose from for some fine tuning :) The sides of the corset are laced and tied with a loose bow on each side, dangling down to the upper hip. I know some find floral patterns a bit too sweet or cutesy for their tastes, but the black background here might make you a fan anyway. 


Keeping the sexy going is our {Valentine} Microkini - Pride (Gift), a generous treat that honors Pride month with a versatile creation. The top comes in original and V-Tech fits for Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, while the bottom has several options too - original plus bulges in S, M, and L each to fit Freya, Juicy Rolls, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I've never used any of the mesh body mods, but am always pleased to see more representation so people can feel more at home in their avatar :) The rainbow stripes are a lovely touch, with the red strings possibly covering more surface area than the little fabric patches.


My final look of the evening is a simply stunning gown from Enfant Terrible, their gift called .ET. Maria Creme. My initial thought when I first tried it on was that if I were to have a wedding gown custom designed in SL, it would wind up looking very much like this beauty ♥. This doesn't mean you have to wear it as one of course, but with that lush embroidery and train it would certainly be suitable :) This gift comes in eBody, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes, via unpacker HUD that lets you choose to only deliver the size you wish instead of clogging your inventory with sizes you don't wear. There is an "all" button too if you prefer. I usually unpack the Maitreya size and move the unpacking HUD to the folder with the Maitreya version, so if in the future I ever need another size it's still available to me.

It has been quite a day, thanks to a random attack of insomnia that had me lying in bed but wide awake for 3 frustrating hours. At least the evening was interesting since I watched the Stanley Cup championship game, my congrats to the Vegas Golden Knights for doing what my team (or Xan's team or my housemate's team, all 3 different ones) did not. I got very emotional watching the players celebrating on ice with their families, proud parents and wives/girlfriends along with lots of adorable kids. I am optimistic that I'll get more sleep later and feel less groggy tomorrow while blogging, so I'm not worried the whole time that I'm failing to make sense. >.< I do hope you're all having a blissful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
