Hiya everyone! Tonight I wanted to check the SL marketplace for Pride themed gifts, as I know there have been many released there over the years and I'm still pleased to celebrate Pride month as usual. The good news is I found several, using "pride NOT demo" as my search string then narrowing it down to apparel then women's and sorting by price. The attempts to eliminate demos will work to an extent, but even checking the box for no demos can be avoided by determined listers. Some put d-e-m-o or d*e*m*o to get around search limitations for example, although I genuinely don't understand why since it won't earn them any money. I truly do enjoy browsing the marketplace, as some of these designers no longer have an inworld store or don't have one yet, and their merch can only be found here. Anyone remember when it was called XStreet XL? If so congrats, you're an SL oldie but goodie like me ;)
My first find is the Sneeky Free Bom Pride Jeans N Crop outfit, whose name sums up this versatile look fairly well :) The clothing is provided in BOM layers, with 4 tops and 4 pairs of jeans to mix and match. I'm wearing top 1 and jeans 2 on the left, with top 3 and jeans 4 to the right. Aren't those lace sections on the tops pretty? Rainbows abound here, and I am very pleased to have found this free gift.
I stuck with Sneeky jeans to share our Dark Angel : Pride Cuff Tshirts treat. There are two versions, Happy and Support, each in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. The soft green Happy version says "Happy Pride Month" across the rainbow splash, and Support Pride is the bold yellow that says its name in multicolored lettering. Both are really pretty and spark joy this time of year for me :)
Those jeans came in handy once again to show you the charming Redheads Rock - Pride T-Shirt. This loose fit tee has a great purple color that serves as a lovely background for a watercolor type image of a Pride flag :) There are sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, along with classic S, M, and L for classic avatars.
The [Zombie Kittens] Marsha Pride Minidress is such a thoughtful gift, named for Marsha P. Johnson who was a prominent figure in the Stonewall uprising that helped bring us to a place where Pride month can be celebrated. The dress comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing, along with a HUD that lets us choose from 19 total options - 8 images ranging from 1 to 6 background colors. I'm still oohing and aahing over the pile of rainbow colored kittens on the right, and honored to wear the Ally image in my heart and on my blog.
My final look of the evening is a full outfit called KEdays-Pride Outfit Gift Maitreya fitted. It was designed for the Lara 5.3 body as the name indicates, with the top, skirt, panties, and heels all included. I think there is a chance of the clothing fitting other bodies with some alpha use, but did not test that theory out; if it were a paid purchase I'd suggest a demo, but there is no harm in trying a free gift :) The hearts on the top are as vibrant as the striping on our shoes, and I was a child of the 70s who always loved rainbows anyway ♥.
My day was calmer than yesterday, lol, as the weather is decent but the power is still out in my area. The whole house generator is struggling its little heart out, like if you turn something on (tv, fan, whatever) it makes the lights flicker and the generator gets really loud and scary sounding. My anxiety is not enjoying this, as you can guess. The power company's estimate for repair is currently Sunday at 11 PM, so 2 more days more or less. It'll be too hot to stay in an un-airconditioned house if the generator croaks, so I will be retreating to a hotel in that case. I did have dinner at my parents' house, which was enjoyable and we looked at even more very old photographs for a bit. They don't have room for my housemate and myself to stay there by the way, otherwise we would just head there instead of a hotel in a pinch. Not many people have 2 spare rooms set up for guests, and none of us have cots or even sleeping bags to rough it in the living room or somewhere. So that's my weekend plans I guess, lol, waiting to see how the generator does and how fast the power company can repair whatever the storm damaged. I am trying to stay optimistic. I hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
