Hiya everyone! Tonight we head down The Silk Road, which is the name of a wonderful free hunt making its return to SL with the 2024 "On the Road Again" round. The Mieville Historical Hunts group is bringing this adventure our way, and we are searching for lanterns to light our way and give us our prizes when clicked :) The ones on the hunt signs have hints for us to help locate the gifts, so be sure to check those if you like a little guidance. The website offers all the landmarks and previews of some of the prizes, so it is handy to have open if you can. I'm finding myself crashing a lot lately and having external browsers open while in SL might not be helping, but it's the new update with PBR so it's got my system working harder than ever. I almost feel guilty suggesting you should have a website open while in SL, but if you use the internal one in Firestorm (which I never have so am very unfamiliar) that might be easier. This hunt is open until the 21st, so just over a week remaining to explore The Silk Road :)
My first look of the evening is the beautiful TMD Saree Zari Pink Set from Thistle Moon Designs. We receive the full outfit as one piece, as well as individual skirt, top, and wrap, each packaged with 3 fitmesh sizes (S, M, L) and sizing for Freya, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. This way we can choose to wear the entire ensemble at once or wear the individual pieces to mix and match. The bright colors add stunning appeal, as this treat is beautifully textured.
Another irresistible prize I am delighted to have found is the DANI Prishna Outfit SRH24 Prize. This outfit consists of the top, skirt, and shrug, each in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. As separates we can wear these in various ways, like on the right I removed the shrug for a more summery bare-shouldered appearance :) The golden embossing is just amazing, making the lowest tier of the skirt look like burnished liquid gold in motion.
I really wanted to show off the Kittycat's Creations goodie for us, The Silk Road Tray v2, and this seemed like the perfect time since it kind of matches my outfit! The tray has a built in holding pose as shown, and there are 5 drinks upon it (cervoise, jiuguan baijiu, koji beer, koumiss, Midas touch ale) which Kitty has researched to be historically accurate from the Silk Road trade route and included a notecard about. I believe she said they are all beers. When you or anyone around you touches any of the drinks, it will distribute a mug to them which even emotes in local chat when worn :) I'm always captivated by the work and care that goes into their products, and you can see why.
Find the lantern at Meander/Me and you'll receive your very own copy of M/M Kivah Dress FP HUD (Silk Road). This beauty is an embroidered silk mini dress with softly ruffled sleeves to match the hem, in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Freya V-Tech, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Maitreya V-Tech, Hourglass, Physique, and Star mesh bodies. There's also a HUD of course, with 10 lovely colors to choose from. It's easy to tell why I'm a fan, and I've been loving this brand since it was Lemania Indigo designs well over a decade ago.
My final look of the evening might be just right for your weekend plans, if those include a visit to a beach or pool :) It's the Violet Skies - Tropicana Bikini & Sarong prize, a gorgeous combo of bikini (one piece) and sarong so you can wear them both or slip out of the sarong whenever you see fit. Each piece fits Erika, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There is a HUD provided as well, with 2 sarong textures and 20 colors for the gems, plus 5 metals for the setting of the gems. The lacy sarong texture on the left is more sheer than the one on the right, so it provides a little extra coverage if you wish. The intricate straps caught my eye as surely as the fun tropical print, and the gemstones are just a little extra decoration to emphasize that we are as precious as jewels.
Whew, thank goodness it's Friday! My day got off to a weird start and a lack of sleep, so I skipped dinner at my parents' (nausea and severe exhaustion do not make me a good dinner companion) and tried to relax in the heat. It went okay I suppose, as I am still here to tell the tale ;) Mostly I'd prefer to have my sleep less interrupted and being able to fall back to sleep sooner would have helped too. Sometimes the brain and body just don't cooperate, shrug. I have a busy week ahead so better now than in a few days I guess. I hope you all have a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
