Malus Park Haunted Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got another wonderful hunt to tell you about, the Malus Park Haunted Hunt. It takes place in the southwest corner of the Malus region, which includes a zen garden, memorial garden, The Refuge, and and oceanside dock. It's a beautiful place to explore, and you'll be looking for tiny pumpkins for $10L or less :) There are hints for some, and preview images for most, on the Malus Park website. I'm always up for any excuse to visit there, lol, and picking up bargains is a perfect reason. You know these hunt prizes are deeply discounted to be this inexpensive, but they are full top quality offerings from the various designers. If your wardrobe or your living space need to be Halloween-ified or brought into autumn, come on down!


My first look is one of the $10L treats from {Monstarous}. Their Agatha Dress Mini includes 3 versions of sleeveless belted dress and bonus sweater to layer beneath, with seasonal prints for the dress and coordinating solid hues for our sweater. They all fit Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I'm wearing the dress 1 with its sweater on the left, and dress 2 on the right without the sweater. I am very fond of traditional Halloween designs like this, with ghosts and carved pumpkins and generally non-scary but still distinctive for the holiday.


If you see this style of cozy looking tank tops and immediately recognize the brand, welcome back because you've probably been here before and seen them here plenty ;) The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. is offering 5 different tops for this hunt at just $5L apiece, and one of them is exclusive to this hunt! That's the PUMPKIN PEGASUS Tee on the right above, which is an instant favorite for me because of the crescent moon and pumpkins along with that stunning magical pegasus :) Now of course I'm going to tell you about the clever tee on the left too, which is our COFFEE VAMPIRE Tee. The name alone gives you a good idea of the theme, lol, and its image features a feline vampire who just woke up (just climbed out of the coffin) and is saying "I want to drink your coffee". I'd be much more interested in coffee than blood myself, although we all know someone whose blood is probably java-flavored by now ;) All of these prizes are offered in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies.


For cooler weather, if you find the MadCatCreations pumpkin for the ladies, you'll receive the MCC - woman - maple leaf sweater for $10L. This snuggly looking knit sweater has a fun leafy pattern in perfect colors for the fall, with golden yellow trim at the neck, wrists, and hem. It comes in sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Mounds, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. In this photo and the one prior, I'm wearing the blue pair of Delizio jeans from their free fatpack on the marketplace, which is a versatile go-to here on my blog.


Malus Park is the home of [Ari-Pari], whose designer is the hardworking organizer of this hunt :) Their $5L Graveyard Outfit prize is an adorable tank top and shorts set, in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There's also a HUD of course, which offers 7 colors for the top and 6 for the shorts, with the difference being the black for the top which would make the bottom solid instead of having the intriguing silhouettes of tombstones in rows on our shorts. I love the versatility, being able to mix and match, and the RL weather here is almost still warm enough to wear shorts so I'm completely onboard with this breezy style for this time of year :)


My final look this evening will show you two of the 4 prizes from [ReM], which are all $10L apiece and well worth every linden. Their Witchy Nails are on the upper/left part of the photo, midnight blue with witches flying across the sky in pale gold that makes me think they are glowing from moonlight :) If you like your Halloween with a sense of humor (ditto!) then the [ReM] Cheeky Ghost Nails on the lower/right side ought to do the trick ;) Look at the little stinkers sticking their tongues out at us, cheeky indeed! Instead of saying boo, they must be blowing a haunted raspberry at us, an idea that tickled me entirely too much. These sets of mesh nails include sizing for Belleza Gen X, Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. All you have to do is hide the built in nails with your body's HUD, and add the appropriate size to your outfit. 

It's been a pretty good day, and I think my support group meeting (every other Monday, for anxiety/agoraphobia) went pretty well this evening. Then I got to watch a hockey game, my favorite team's home opener with some emotional nods to our former goalie who passed away very recently. We won, and that is definitely dedicated to the goalie's memory. I'd had the pleasure of meeting him several times, and you couldn't find a nicer guy who just genuinely loved life and talking to people. I'm trying to fight the urge to trim my bangs since they're poking my eyeballs, lol, but I'll be at the salon on Wednesday so I just have to be patient and try to ignore them. I've been watching Halloween movies on Freeform, which is a fun romp through family-friendly classics that give me lots of laughs instead of the heebie-jeebies. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

TSS Hauntiversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time for the TSS Hauntiversary Event, which is at the headquarters of The Saturday Sale. If you join their free group, you can claim tons of generous gifts from the jack o'lantern candy bowls at each display. I do have a confession to make...I got a bit lost at this event, several times, so I'm going to suggest you do what I didn't and derender each bowl after you click it :) There are lots of paths and levels with booths, so have fun exploring and checking out all the sales and gifts like I did!


My first look of the evening is our -PULSE- Mara Dress - Red group gift. There are two versions included, each in Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. We also receive a HUD with 4 metals, and 2 BOM pairs of panties - one black, one white that is tintable. I giggled a little when I realized that the second version (right above) is the same bold red color, just shorter ;)


Two gifts are paired here for one sizzling look. The [Celesticat] Bootiful Bandeau GIFT fits Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and there are 2 HUDS (PBR and non-PBR) with the same 4 terrific textures to choose from. It works really well with the //Rowers// Emmy Skirt Fatpack gift to create a flirty outfit :) This treat includes sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD that lets us choose from 8 textures which are mostly solids but one is a cute print. The rear view is a cheeky one, so I'm suggesting you add your favorite pair of panties for modesty. 


This sweetly feminine dress is decorated just right for this time of year :) Our Bemused ~ SugarSpun Dress GIFT has soft ruffled layers trimmed in black lace, and a very flattering neckline that can easily frame any Halloween themed necklace you may own. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, and Legacy mesh bodies provided.


Limited Apparel wins the prize for best reason to get a Britney Spears song stuck in my head with their Toxic Dress gift ;) That's not a complaint, as I love both the song (catchy and sensual) and the dress (also sensual, year round fun). It looks like it's been dipped in something suspicious, lol, like a tie dye with a greenish hue on the lower part of our short skirt. The gift includes Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes. 


My final look of the night combines two gifts since the cut of our dress is just right to reveal a new tattoo. The Yuni - Dina Dress wraps us in a formfitting strapless style with a front zipper, drawing attention to the seams and the low scooped neckline. It fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Waifu mesh bodies. The beautiful body art is the [Onyx] Moon Lotus Tattoo gift, which come as BOM layers in faded or fresh versions. I'm actually wearing the faded this time, although I usually wear the darkest one provided to make sure they photograph clearly. I guess the delicate linework inspired me to want to show its softer side :) The same image on the front and back is a lovely touch, so it can be noticed when we're coming or going. 

This weekend seemed to fly by, but that could just be from keeping busy for most of it. The farmers market was great fun despite the drizzly rain off and on, and one of the vendors who had somewhat moved on (business is booming for her, including sales at a pro soccer team's home games) was the featured hot lunch available. I hadn't seen her in ages, and got a very enthusiastic hug from her that made my day :) I'm eager for my haircut on Wednesday, to get these unruly curls to be less frizzy and more shapely. I spent over 30 years with straight hair, so I'm still getting used to dealing with textured tresses. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Shop and Hop is Gleaming

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post shares several gifts found on the Gleaming region of the Halloween Shop & Hop event, one of 18 regions holding 360 total booths with all sorts of amazing offers, discounts, and free gifts for us to enjoy. As always I'm going to point you to the FabFree spreadsheet that their team worked so hard to compile, with tabs at the bottom to sort by type, store name, and more. I've referred to it several times to make sure I didn't miss any gifts, and to see if gifts had been updated if there was a slight issue with them not set for sale or not delivering. I absolutely adore these events, and am so grateful for the designers who take part to help us save some lindens and add some spookiness to our wardrobe or home. 


My first look of the evening comes from *Les Sucreries de Fairy* and is called Cute Bat Outfit. Such an apt name, and I'm loving the color scheme as well :) Our top and skirt are each provided in Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes, and fit together seamlessly to create what to me resembles like a cheerleading outfit. That is a fun coincidence considering the next gift I'm about to show you...


Fancy Dancer has a great gift for us called *FD* Spark It Up Outfit Halloween. It includes the top and skirt each in Legacy and Maitreya sizes, along with a pair of BOM modesty pants that match it wonderfully. The skirt is lifted in the back on the right side, so the panties do come in handy :) I am really enjoying the autumnal orange, black, and yellow shades, and did you notice the word CHEER on the skirt?


Witch In A Box, which has long been a favorite stop of mine at any round of Shop&Hop, has several gifts waiting for us and I am simply thrilled! Their Witch In A Box // Cropped Hoodie GIFT says "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat" which I realize is a bit hard to read (boobs LOL) but did give me a chuckle. There are markings on the sleeves that includes an arrow down to the pumpkin by the wrist, and the hood is lined in pale grey. We receive sizing for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I couldn't resist pairing it with the [Witch In A Box] Halloween Gift Skirt, both versions of which you can see above. Versions 1 and 2 each fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and have different but equally spooky patterns and a built in black belt.


This playful look is two versions from our Witch In A Box // Salina Dress GIFT. We receive black, green, and purple versions (black is the one not shown) all in sizes for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The plaid patterns feel very fall-like to me, and that side slit is simply jaw-dropping! From the waist up it looks like a casual t-shirt dress, then the skirt tells us that it is anything but simple.


My final look of the night is a sweet and sassy loungewear set called {Poeme} Little Bones Leisure Set (Halloween). Its white cami is trimmed with ruffles of the same patterned fabric as the panty, black with rows of white bones :) The panties are a tiny bit cheeky, and have a cute white bow on the front that also made me smile. They'll each fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. I love the flirty-spooky vibe, and now I'm wondering what Xan would say if I wore this and asked him to jump my bones ;) Wow, I feel like I need to apologize for that one, LOL!!

What's everyone got planned for the weekend? I'm going to the farmers market in the morning, and then I have my usual stuff on Sunday (therapy) so nothing too unusual here. Dinner with my parents was good, and they found out earlier that his sleep apnea is bad enough to need a CPAP machine again after he'd used one like 20 years ago but stopped because of work travel. He did feel better, to be fair, and they were harder to clean back then so it was a pain in the tushy. This one won't arrive for a couple of weeks, which will probably feel really long for him when he just wants to get better and regain some strength and energy. It should help with his A-fib too :) I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Swank Pumpkin Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some treats to share from the SWANK Halloween event round, which is themed Goth Event and Pumpkin Hunt. The pumpkins have the Swank logo in gold on them, and are free for the members of their free group. I know it says hunt, but I promise they are not difficult to find :) Most of the displays have one, and a couple were smaller or tucked up in a corner for example, but the vast majority are easily spotted and clicked. There are over 200 displays here from a terrific assortment of designers, with treats for everyone to appreciate.


My first look of the evening is our Ahlure - Shelby Outfit, a gift that's sure to turn heads. The jacket, dress, and boots all come in Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu sizing, with a BOM pair of thigh-high stockings. There's also a HUD with several tabs, offering 12 textures for the jacket fur, 8 dress colors, 3 dress metals, 8 boots colors, 8 strings colors, and 3 boots metals. As you can see from the rear view, the dress is split on the side for a little bit of peek-a-booty ;) 


I found 3 prizes from V8 Underground (2 female, 1 male) and the one I'm sharing tonight is called **EMPUSA DEMON CONCEPT COSTUME COMPLETE OUTFIT**. Isn't she devilishly beautiful? There are Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu sizes each for the dress, sleeves, and boots, and we receive loads of accessories as well. The horns, collar, and earrings are all adjustable, and the staff has the built in holding pose you see here. As for the wings, they are bento animated with a HUD to turn that animation on and off, so if you need your wings to stay still for a bit (like taking a photo...) you can control that very easily. This brand is a go-to for costumes, so be sure to grab their landmark and see if your Halloween needs could be fulfilled here as well.


Next we're wrapped in gilded glam with the [GIULIADESIGN] - Colette-05 gift. Our dress and separate sleeves are designed for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Petite X mesh bodies. That shimmer is so alluring, and the style really shows off our shoulders and cleavage. I also really like the use of seams to add shape, details always catch my attention :)


No matter what the calendar says, we can always find places to make use of swimwear in SL like this sexy [ZENESSA] Vanilla Swimsuit gift. The one piece suit has a thong cut and lots of slender strings connecting the top and bottom, very flirtatious :) There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Also included is a HUD that offers 20 colors each for the main and the seams, along with a transparency button you can click to choose solid or 7 percentages to adjust the sheerness. I kept it solid on the left and just 5% sheer on the right, barely noticeable on the small bit of fabric shown.


My final look of the evening made "Go Go Power Rangers" zip through my head ;) It's our Fatal Fashion HALLOWEEN - Outfit H160 (Ranger Red) gift, and has a very classic design made more modern (sexy) as we do see so often in Halloween costumes. This gift consists of the dress, gloves, and boots to fit Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We even get a pair of silver earrings to jazz things up, large hoops that will go nicely with lots of other outfits as well. The boots surprised me by being suitable for the kitten heel height rather than completely flat feet as most boots are, fun because I have always liked that particular heel height in RL. 

It was an exciting day here since I got to do the online gaming with a friend, and chat with her and her husband on the phone about our weeks and such :) Of course my hockey team decided to lose their season opener to the reigning champs, so the evening did take an annoying downward turn that I am not genuinely upset about. I mean it's a bummer, sure, but it isn't enough to ruin my mood or anything. I'm looking forward to dinner at my parents' tomorrow, and then I have a full weekend of plans too. So we're in full swing of the busy season in SL, as this month seems to be a busy one each year, much like December. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Boo! Bunny Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're looking for pieces of green and orange wrapped candy for the Boo! Bunny Hunt 15, which are just $1L each and have all sorts of terrific rewards inside. The fact that we're on the fifteenth round of this particular hunt is somewhat mindboggling, hehe, but I've enjoyed every single one of them so far and hope to continue to do so in the future :) There are several brands appearing in this hunt who've also graced my posts from other hunts or events recently, so the names and high quality are fondly familiar.


My first look comes from *Glitter Bunny*, whose B!BH15 Boo! Bunny Hunt 15 prize includes both men's and women's sizes of this fun seasonal hoodie. The Maya version fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with an 8 texture HUD to change the graphic on the front. Milo has his own sizes (Gianni, Jake, Kario, Legacy, Athletic) and his own HUD with those same 8 options to decorate the front of the sweatshirt. My skybox's deck where I took the photos has some ambient lighting that gave us an orange glow to the fabric, so fun!


Next I got a giggle from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. VIEWPOINT Tee, a skeleton peering through binoculars saying "Oh, LOOK! Nobody gives a shit." That's my thought when some SL dude decides to tell me my body looks great, like yes dear, you can go buy your very own at the Maitreya store if you're so impressed. As all of their wonderful shirts, this dollarbie prize comes in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. It's all in their delivery HUD, just choose which to unpack and hold onto the HUD for future reference. 


This flirty treat is our ~Sassy!~ Lenore dress - spooky skully prize. If you saw my post the other day for the CMH hunt, you'll know that there is a different version of this beauty as another prize for the same low price :) If you missed it, well now you have 2 awesome reasons to head over there! There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included, along with the bat wing shaped bow for our hair. It is adjustable, for example mine rezzed behind my messy bun so I shifted it to the front where it is looking adorably spooky. The skulls are oddly cute, aren't they?


Artic Storm is always a fantastic place to pick up stylish outfits for any time of year, like their *AS* Spider Set - Black Tosca hunt prize. The top and skirt are provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, and Legacy sizes, with BOM layers for the bra and panties beneath. You can see some of the black lace of the bra peeking through the neckline, matching the sheer sleeves of the top very nicely I might add :) This look to me feels like Boho meets Goth, and I'm liking the combo!


My final look of the evening is our [Ari-Pari] Charlotte Dress prize, and I have a confession...I was unpacking it and thought to myself how much I like the name Charlotte, then it hit me - OMG the spiders, she means Charlotte's Web!! I was a bit slow on the uptake there, lol, but I'm loving the style and the beautiful colors. There are 5 background hues to choose from via HUD, and the dress fits Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. The neckline is very flattering, and the skirt has a fluttery soft quality that somehow makes sense with the delicate cobwebs of the pattern.

Well, it was an adventure of a day all around, but it turned out well in the end so I am relieved as heck. My outing was delayed because my housemate is a dingus, lol, but I used the same video to get me through and calm me down about being in a car. It did work, whew, and so I got to a Bath & Body Works for the first time in over two years :) Anxiety sufferers and agoraphobia sufferers are going to have different senses of accomplishment than most folks, so that may sound like a big ol' nothing to most people but it was huge for me. It was further than I'd been in years, and the sensory input is a lot, but I loved it and I'm glad I went. Dinner was a bit of a problem since the food place in the same shopping center decided that chicken cheesesteaks should be at least 30% black pepper apparently. I'm still breathing fire! The housemate eats there a lot but never had that particular menu item somehow, so it was a surprise for my acid reflux. Black pepper bothers my mom a lot too, and it took many years for it to start bothering me. We're spice wimps ;) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Poppy Shop and Hoppy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to visit the Poppy region of the Halloween Shop & Hop event, which appeals to my shopaholic side and my gift-loving nature. There are 18 regions packed with designers' displays, each with discounted offerings and a gift or two for us to enjoy. The FabFree team has worked hard as usual to provide us a spreadsheet of gifts, which you can view sorted by type, store name, etc. with the tabs at the bottom. I'm always grateful because that ensures I didn't miss any gifts, and I can steer Xan towards the male gifts and unisex ones that may catch his attention :) The event area is seasonally decorated quite nicely, and we have until just past Halloween (November 2nd) to explore and shop.


First up, I slipped into the striking Son!a-Edge Kenya Dress Witch gift, one of a few they are offering in their setup. The gown has an attached cape and is studded with gems down the sides, and is provided in sizing for Khara, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD which offers 16 colors for the gems, on/off options for the cape, sheer skirt, gems glow, materials, gems bright, and a sheer/solid choice for the cape. I've got the cape solid on the left and sheer on the right, so you could see the fun straps in the back easier through it :) The Maitreya fits my Lara X body fairly well, other than a bit of clipping on the back of the hips which was instantly resolved with the alpha layer included with the dress.


Our BlueMoon enterprise gift, BMe Drusilla Halloween Gown, is also very elegant with a touch of spookiness that suits the season wonderfully. The gown has shoulder straps adorned with a high collar, long sheer sleeves with slits, deep V neckline laced very loosely, and a dramatic slit on the left thigh. Those deep red and black stripes are simply stunning, aren't they? This treat comes in Lara X and Reborn mesh body sizing.


Do you need even more elegance in your life? If so, be sure to visit .:{Sofia}:. and pick up their gorgeous Titania Gown Dress Blood V.2 gift. This seductive satin gown has a ruched bodice topped with a large black bow, and the swirl of skirt is opened on the right to reveal a black inner lining (plus a whole lot of leg!). There are sizes for Erika, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Juicy, Waifu, and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies provided, along with a pair of black earrings to really complete the look in style.


You know I am a casual gal at heart, at least most of the time in SL, so naturally I adore the GoodVibes HER Creeping it Real gift too :) The cropped sweater is decorated with a seasonal spider wearing a jack o'lantern, and its fuzzy legs seem to be more numerous than usual as I think I counted 14 of them! It does say CREEPING IT REAL above and beneath the spider, and I think the jack o'lantern goes perfectly with the images on the pants. Our gift includes the sweater and pants in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, plus matching heels to fit Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star feet. There is a men's gift here too, similar in theme, so tell a guy friend :) 


My final look this evening is a closer view of my nails for the night, our BLOOM - BLACK RIBBON NAILS [CUTE SQUARE] gift. They are ideal for those who love the look of a manicure but do not want an extra long or pointed style. These have a sheer black base with tiny dark polka dots, then the free edge is deepened with a solid black that almost mimics a French mani style. To wear these, please use your body's HUD to hide its built in nails and add either the eBody, Legacy, or Maitreya size nails from your new gift's folder. Chef's kiss!

It was a quiet day, but that is for the best since tomorrow I'm making a huge attempt to go further than I've been in over 2 years. The anxiety might not always play nicely, but I'm trying to kickstart things in the proper direction for healing. Please insert your favorite meme about being nervous here, lol, as I can't even decide which one to mention first. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

I Put A Spell On You

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time for the CMH I Put a Spell on You 5 Hunt, an annual adventure where we are looking in participating stores for an image of a carved pumpkin. These can either hold a $1L prize or a $25L - $50L exclusive offer, all up to the designers and they sometimes have more than one treat available. That's a very good reason to check the hunt website, which tells us the landmarks to each stop as well as prices and the hints to track down the pumpkins. Some folks favor this particular time of year even over Christmas/Yule, and these hunt prizes are certainly a good reason to turn to the spooky side ;)


My first look is the $1L prize from Adore Amore (actually an exclusive) called .:Adore:. Karley Halter Batty Grey. We receive sizes for Erika, Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Reborn, and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies. The traditional icons of Halloween like ghosts, bats, and pumpkins, look so bold against the smoky background color!


Another great place to visit is CloudNine, where this $1L pumpkin rewards us with their Halloween T Her Prowl prize. Please note, there is a version for the guys as well (same price, separate pumpkin) with the same image on the front :) It reads "When black cats prowl and pumpkin gleam, may luck be yours Halloween" in vibrant colors adorned with fun symbols. There are Erika, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes provided. 


It's hard to believe that the drop dead gorgeous ~Sassy!~ Lenore dress - blooms and bones prize is just $1L, don't you think? The flirty strapless mini dress with daring side slit is provided in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and we even get a matching hair bow that can be adjusted with a quick edit. Its batty shape brings the same seasonal flair as the skulls in the pattern on the dress; beautiful yet slightly sinister. Fun fact - I too am slightly sinister, lol, as one of the word's meanings is left handed. 


Next I changed into the delightful GoodVibes Halloweeny Dress Neon Orange prize, which only sets us back a single linden dollar. The fiery orange stripes look terrific against the darker stripes, and the style is playful yet sexy. There are Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes included, along with a BOM 3/4 stocking with modesty panty. They are fishnet trimmed in lace, with garters to hold them up :) I can see this working with boots or your favorite pumps to complete the look.


My final look of the night is our [Ari-Pari] Witch's Brew Outfit, which is yet another incredible bargain at just $1L :) The set includes the cropped tank top and sporty shorts, each in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The enclosed HUD offers 6 colors for the top and 5 for the shorts, as the background colors for the shorts all line up except for black since the cauldrons would blend in too much. Of course the black top really brings out the colors of any shorts option, and all of these choices gave me 80s neon flashbacks which made me smile. I'm adding my favorite tiptoe sneakers and headed out on either a hunt trail or an event exploration.

My day almost felt like Sunday part two somehow, like my brain didn't make the jump to it being Monday? Clearly the brain fog is dense today, but I am glad to be getting the rest of my week planned out which helps with clarity. The SL events are popping, and I have a busy RL Wednesday planned but it most likely won't interfere with blogging. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
