Hiya everyone! Tonight we're hopping over to the Halcyon region of SL22B, the Shop & Hop event taking place right now as part of Second Life's 22nd birthday. Isn't it exciting to know that the virtual world we all enjoy so much has been around for so long? I keep thinking about how impressive and mind-boggling that is, and all the lives they have touched and brought together. As I've mentioned before, we have 20 store displays per region and there are 24 total (20 moderate, 4 adult) so that's a lot of gifts to appreciate :) I do strongly recommend the FabFree spreadsheet of gifts, which you can sort by tabs at the bottom by type (male, female, unisex/both, store credit, dinkies, etc.) or region or store name alphabetically. I keep the gifts in my folders by region for now so I can share one at a time with you.
My first look of the night is the adorable Black.Flowers - Summer time Gift Set. Its bra top and short shorts are each provided in Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. As you can tell, there's also a HUD tucked in there, which lets us choose from 6 colors for each piece :) It seems I was in a matchy type mood, but mixing is also on the table here. I must admit that I've been wondering why I am so drawn to bows in general, and it occurs to me that in this case I think those pretty strands and bows in the back would tempt someone (Xan) to want to touch them, play with them and wind up caressing my back in the process. Subtly steamy!
I paired two gifts for this look, and I'm infatuated with both of them :) The Mossu - SL22BGift Top - Dreamy Rose is trimmed with gemstones and fur, with separate top and sleeves in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu bodies. The HUD offers 70 colors each for the fur and gemstones, with on/off for sparkles and gemstones, plus 6 transparency options as well as the opaque I am using here. Candy Kitten made it extra easy for me to complete this look with their *CK* Coy shorts SPECIAL gift, thanks to its fun little HUD. That has 5 colors for the shorts, 15 for the belts, and 2 metals for the hardware. Love the heart-shaped buckles, and the flirty cutouts in front with distressed strings draped through! These sweet shorts fit eBody, Legacy, and Lara X mesh bodies.
For some folks in RL and SL, summer means surfing, so if you're hitting the waves you will need the Moon Coven: Wetsuit gift. Isn't it stunning? There are sizes for Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The shiny black fabric really helps the pink trim pop, and I think it will be very handy for anyone who wants to try surfing or just enjoys time at the beaches of SL.
Next I slipped into the Evergreen - SL22B GIFT which is a terrific hoodie that could either be a short dress or a long tunic. In sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies, it has short sleeves, pert front pockets, and darker blue trim that really complements the main heathered blue fabric. The slits on each hip are making me think I will wind up wearing it over jeans or maybe capri pants for a touch of modesty :)
My final look brings us back to the beach with the Ruxy-Vera Free Gift. We get the appearance of a two piece bikini, but they are linked to wear at once in Legacy and Lara X sizes. We also receive a HUD with 5 fabric colors, all of which work beautifully with the intricate gold trim. Those flowers made me gasp, so lovely :)
We've had storms off and on last night and all day today, but they should let up soon for a day or so, fingers crossed. I'm still somehow amazed that July is here already, just really weird sense of time lately. I am a little nervous about my appointment tomorrow afternoon, more because of being in a car at all than about the weather, but I know it is important so I'll try my best to hang in there. I hope you're all having a good day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
