Trick or Treat Lane

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I switched gears once again, this time to visit the wonderful annual Trick or Treat Lane event from Dark Passions Events. There are dozens of designers with booths there, who are all offering event exclusives as well as a trick or treat gift for everyone. No group is needed for those, and there are two types - treats, easily found on the hay bale in front of each display, or tricks which means the ghost hid the little folded shopping bag inside the booth somewhere. A few stores are even providing both, a trick and a treat :) All gifts are free with no group tag necessary, just explore the creatively decorated area and have fun browsing. I sure did! There are many different pathways and I think I got lost a couple of times, lol, but I have a very poor sense of direction naturally so I wasn't surprised. If you'd like a sneak peek, be sure to check their website for a list of most of the participants with pictures of the exclusives and the gifts. 


My first look of the evening combines two gifts that are delightful for the season :) The top is the zOOm - Gothic Corset GIFT, which has rings to resemble nipple piercings and inverted crosses on both front and back. It fits Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I've worn it here with both versions of the [Witch In A Box] Halloween Skirt Gift, which is a bat lover's dream of a high waisted miniskirt with built in belt. There are sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies provided in each version, 1 and 2, so now you just have to decide which color combo suits you best. 


Dark Intentions is one of the extra generous stores with both a trick and a treat, in other words two free gifts awaiting! I'm wearing the DI Trick or Treat Dress (Treat) on the left, and DI Trick or Treat Dress (Trick) on the right. Both of these beauties consist of the crossed halter strap dress and separate sleeves attachment, each in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The treat dress has a sparkly coral color decorated with lots of jack o' lanterns, while the trick dress is striped boldly in black and red. Either will look just as great without the sleeves, but if the weather calls for a little arm coverage we always have the option :)


I also found a treat (or was it a trick?) at the JR Wolf Creations booth, which is their stunning Moon Dress. The shiny strapless mini has a small opening to show off a peep of cleavage, and is embossed with a crescent moon pattern as mentioned in its name. There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh body sizes included in this generous gift. While I do associate moons with Halloween decorations, I don't think of them as exclusively for this time of year any more than hearts as only for Valentine's Day, as both symbols have strong significance no matter what the calendar says.


Any time you see Grumble listed for an event, you know you can expect something wonderful, like this Creepy Crawlers Dress I was able to pick up for free :) The vibrant colors certainly caught my eye, with bats and spiders among the critters hanging out with the carved pumpkins in the pattern. There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Juicy Boobs, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies provided. The bodice is quite daring with the underboob cutouts and abundance of straps, but the essentials are covered and done so in style.


My final look of the evening combines an exclusive from this event, and a gift that is one of two, all from the same incredible designer. The [Ari-Pari] Glitter Web Dress is the exclusive among several sales offers in this booth, and it fits eBody Reborn, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with an impressive 18 colors of the webby texture. It's already sexy from being strapless, but then we add the openings on both sides, both front and back, delicately laced just loosely enough to show even more skin...*chef's kiss* :) In my hands you can see the [Ari-Pari] Jack-O-Lantern gift, one of two at the event. It comes in lit and unlit versions to hold (lit is shown) and lit or unlit, mini and large versions as decor to rez out into your living space. The other gift is wonderful too, a magic cauldron with hold and decor versions with a color HUD for the potion inside. These are must-haves, and I'm grateful for them as I am for everything shown.

It was a quiet day compared to what I'm expecting tomorrow, with a therapy session that will probably involve going out somewhere and triggering my anxiety. While I try not to think negatively and expecting problems, the therapist does feel like we need to provoke the anxiety in order to sit with it, get through it, and retrain my brain that hey, I survived that so we don't need to get all worked up. It almost sounds like having a muscle cramp and having to stretch that body part even when it hurts, to get it to release the cramp and heal. I've been watching other teams' season openers, and tomorrow I get to see my favorite hockey team playing in the regular season finally :) So I do have something to look forward to in the evening, and then dinner Friday with my parents. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
