Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some lucky board prizes to share from the Kiyomizu Mall, who are holding their annual Bon Odori festival. We don't need any particular group tag to participate, just click to sit on a yellow dance pad and you will be animated to dance around a circle, with tents surrounding us that have the lucky boards in front. After dancing for 120 seconds (two minutes, countdown in hovertext at your feet) you will be able to click any board that has your initial on it :) Many of the boards have multiple prizes inside, and the timing is randomized but generally under 10 minutes. Over the years I've gotten used to watching for the initials in local chat, in English among the Japanese text from the boards. I hope you have your camera controls showing, because you may need to cam around the ring and find your initial when it shows up. The dancing is lovely by the way, and the people are a mix of human and non-human avatars that are sometimes in traditional Japanese fashions. Always a pleasure! There are prizes for men, women, hamsters, Lucie doll avatars...it is a generous mixture.
My first look of the evening is a pairing of two **milky-way prizes, starting with the YUKATA Himawari. This sunflower-adorned yukata comes in a single size which fits the Maitreya body fairly well with use of the included alpha layer, and is just so beautiful with the wide belt and intricate bow in the back. The best footwear option was also available on these lucky boards, our **milky-way Yukata Geta 3 for Maitreya. These sandals are beautifully designed to add height, rather like platform shoes, with the initial intention of keeping our clothing up and away from the ground which keeps it clean. I'm not particularly tall in RL, 5'4" or so, which means that adding height while still being comfortable sounds like a great idea to me!
Another of several yukatas in the **milky-way boards is this stunning YUKATA F-2 Pink. It also comes in a single size that fit my Maitreya body nicely, with the alpha coming in handy once again :) There are men's yukatas on the board too, so be sure to tell a male-avatared friend if you wish. It's nice to have extra company there too, as when Xan and I are dancing there together we are constantly voice chatting (Discord, not the SL client) and helping each other pointing out where to find our initials.
Shiorin's Mart is a favorite stop of mine on the seasonal Kiyomizu hunts, so winning prizes from their lucky board is also a delight :) On the left above I am wearing the =CS= KIYOMIZU HUNT PRIZE 2024BONODORI-1 prize in pretty teal, with =CS= KIYOMIZU HUNT PRIZE 2024BONODORI-2 in soft pink on the right. Each bikini has the top and bottom linked to wear at once, with sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The patterns are so fun, with lovely hand fans which say the name of the mall on a few. Another brand has fans we can hold too, with dancing AOs built in, so keep an eye out for those too!
Summertime and its hot weather can tempt us to indulge in cool treats, like I've done here with the .:H/D:. Waffle Icecream - Strawberry prize from Honey Dragon. The yummy ice cream is in a waffle cone wrapped in pink paper to keep things neat, and it comes in biggie and dinkie sizes each with single or double scoops. I'm wearing the double scoop biggie size :) Of course my gorgeous dress is a lucky board prize too, the *R&R* Summer Mini Dress which is rigged for the Maitreya mesh body. I adore the iridescent swirling stars, which really pop against the aqua background and go well with the lighter colored hem ruffle.
My final look of the night is a double as well, two terrific prizes that is :) The dress is our stunning .:*:.Love Letter.:*:.White dress prize, which fits Maitreya Lara 5.3 like a dream. The pale color will show off your summer tan, and the sundress style is just perfect for this time of year. My Hapi*Rabi Nails C Summer-nnp are one of the three prizes in their lucky board, a fantastic set of mesh nails in soft purple floral ombre that fades to nude at the cuticles. The square tips really show off the manicure nicely :) They are designed for Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn hands, just use the body's HUD to hide the built in nails and add the corresponding size from the prize's folder. Easy peasy :)
It was a pretty good day here, and I think my outing went fairly well. We drove for about 20 minutes, and it was back roads so we saw horses, alpacas, and lots of deer. One family of deer was crossing the road in front of us though, a bit scary until they were situated all on the same side of the road so we could pass by safely. I think that was 2 adults and 2 young, still had their baby fawn spots ♥. We have white-tailed deer in my area so they do grow out of their spots as adults, and if you see antlers it is definitely a male. The horses are fairly common farm animals around here, with the alpacas being the only ones I've seen in the neighborhood so not commonplace. The weather was decent which was a relief :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
