Hiya everyone! Tonight I am continuing my coverage of the Menstuff Fall '16 Hunt, which runs until the end of the month and features over 70 participating designers with prizes for either $0L or $1L. This has been announced as their final Menstuff hunt ever, so if you or a friend have a male avatar, this is the time to scoop up some terrific gifts. The website has all the locations and hints, so you can see who is participating and skip around if you wish. The prizes are an interesting challenge for me, with my female avatar, to show you in a way that still expresses who I am but doesn't take away from the products themselves, so I hope I can do them justice.
This outfit made me smile because it is quite traditionally masculine, and yet I enjoyed the sense of rebellion I felt by keeping my female mesh body and skin beneath it. The entire outfit is our prize from PUMP, their Trucker Outfit, and starts with the Aurora Trucker Flannel Shirt and Thermal Undershirt (like a dickey, those flaps of material for appearance rather than a full shirt layer) for Aesthetic mesh bodies. There is a different shirt included for standard avatar sizes, a single mesh open shirt with nothing beneath. Next we have the jeans in standard sizes, plus a pair of boots and we top it off with their Spicey Mustard Trucker Hat. Find their hidden t-shirt and you can be dressed from head to toe for free.
Hardcore Clothing has a full outfit hiding in their prize as well, this is their Mens Tough Guy Black & White Complete. It consists of the shirt and vest combo in standard sizes plus Adam and TMP fits, with a wide bottom version of each size (my hips appreciated that!). The shorts come in standard mesh sizes plus Slink and TMP versions, and don't forget the matching sneakers are in there as well. Included but not shown, a mesh mask for the face that has standard sizes plus a couple for wider necks.
This outfit features a combination of prizes, starting with the shirt from Tamiron Forge. Thor's Hammer Tank comes in two versions, the Omega applier shown here and a mesh version that is provided in standard sizes as well as TMP and Aesthetic. The jeans are from IMaGE Factory, their wonderful Justin Jeans Boot Cut which include a separate belt so you can wear them with our without. The belt and jeans each come in several sizes: Fitted 1, Fitted 2, standard S, M, and L. I realize my shape isn't best suited for these, but I can still recognize and be glad of the excellent texturing and the wide range of sizes.
If like me, you appreciate a nice motorcycle jacket, be sure to head to [Z.E.N] and find that blue t-shirt to claim this outstanding mesh biker jacket in an amazing 6 colors! You'll find Black, Dirty, Red (shown above left to right), Blue, Gray, and Midnight each in standard mesh sizes. From zippers to belt, to detailed shading, these are remarkable quality versions of a classic style.
I am sad to see the end of the weekend, but I know that there is a fun (but busy!!) week just on the horizon. I need more time and some extra hands, and the ability to teleport like in SL would be very handy in RL this week :) Have a beautiful day everyone, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am showing you a few more prizes from the Menstuff Fall '16 hunt, their final Menstuff hunt ever so be sure not to miss out. There are over 70 participating stores, each with a blue t-shirt hidden somewhere for either free or $1L, so you can imagine there is a terrific variety for you or your favorite male avatar (boyfriend, partner, male alt, etc) to appreciate. Watch their website for hints and LM's in case you need to skip ahead at all, but fortunately the next LM is in each prize as you go.
My first look brought to mind a gymnast, sleek and athletic in crisp black and white. The one piece outfit is our prize from Devil Design and is included in standard mesh sizing.
Next we have a very handy Mens Polo Rugby from ~EccentriciXi~ which is provided in standard mesh sizes along with a fitted mesh version. Also included is a texture HUD with 8 options, various color combinations for the stripe pattern you see here in two of those 8. As you know, I am a big fan of HUDs to provide versatility and ease the strain on inventory size that separate pieces could create. This is a great casual look to pair with whatever jeans or pants you prefer.
Maybe you have a craving for a comfy looking sweater for this chilly season, well be sure to visit RGDW to find this Mesh Long Sleeve Sweater in Autumn Jacquard hiding in their blue t-shirt. The prize comes in standard mesh sizes for a convenient fit, and those rich colors will look handsome on anyone.
Sometimes even when the weather in some parts of the world turns colder, we still find a need for a soft short sleeve shirt to lounge in or go somewhere warm. If you find the hidden free t-shirt at Native Urban, you can claim their NU Portland Shirt as seen here. There are several versions inside, I am not familiar with male mesh bodies so this may make more sense to the residents it applies to, but there are 2 seemingly identical versions of almost every size. There single one without a duplicate copy is the Default Fitted, while the other sizes (2 each) are Adam, Aesthetic, Signature, Slink, and TMP. The slogan around the surfboard is an intriguing one, "Ride The Wave You're Given".
I had an enjoyable day, even if my allergies are not. They are flared from a run-in with cleaning chemicals, which my body does not handle well at all. My early afternoon was spent enjoying a farmers market with wonderful people, whose company I treasure more than they even realize :) I am still trying to get details under control to help my family with the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration, makes for an interesting distraction. I hope all of you are having a beautiful weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Since it's Friday and the start of what I hope is an excellent weekend for all of us, I decided to indulge in some virtual drinks while showing you some of the fun finds from the final Menstuff Hunt, their Fall 2016 round. The website stresses that Menstuff itself is not closing down and will maintain a group with sales events, just that the hunt itself is being discontinued. I was saddened to read that, as there isn't much out there for male avis and I've enjoyed doing their hunts with Xan so he can benefit from them. All the prizes are hidden in blue t-shirts (like the red ones from the Womenstuff hunt) and are either $0L or $1L each. This type of hunt tends to bring out an androgynous side of my style, and I enjoy the challenge of still looking like myself. I suggest taking your favorite male out for a nice drink, then looking for some blue t-shirts filled with goodies for him.
My first look is a complete outfit from Robby Roo's Whatchamagoos (still chuckling at the fun name) called Blue Pagoda. It includes the shirt in standard mesh sizes plus Adam, Aesthetic, Slink, and TMP sizes, and the sweatpants with attached sweatshirt tied about the waist in standard mesh sizes. You will also find tucked in there the sneakers with attached socks, as well as the bracelet and choker I'm wearing. From the vendor photo it does appear intentional that the rear view has a bit of peek-a-booty ;)
I slipped into a favorite pair of free jeans from Beautiful Dirty Rich (marketplace gift I have blogged before, system + Maitreya, Omega, Phat Azz, Physique, and TMP appliers) so as not to go bottomless while showing off some shirts. This prize from Vengeful Threads is called Sugar Long Sleeve Top, and comes in standard mesh sizes. My avi is trying to decide which pretty drink behind her goes best with the shirt...
AmAzINg CrEaTiOnS has 2 prizes in this hunt, one for free and the other a single linden, and this is their free gift. The shirt is just called Menstuff free gift, and it is provided in standard mesh sizes along with a fitted version. Also included is a HUD with 28 solid colors for tinting purposes, as you can see on the right I have tinted it red and you can see how it does give the black background a reddish tinge as well as the image. If you're a fan of the Heath Ledger take on the Joker, this is a must-have wardrobe item.
I have enjoyed a few tasty beverages and it's time to wrap up the post, so I've slipped into this great jacket from Mimi's Choice. Simply called Menstuff Fall '16, this dusky grey jacket comes in standard mesh sizes plus a fitted version and looks like a well worn favorite. Since I took these photos in my new backyard, I don't even have to teleport while under the influence, maybe I'll just sit outside and admire that huge moon before wandering upstairs to sleep. It was a hectic week, unwinding sounds ideal.
My weekend is looking busy, but hopefully productive, and I hope all of you enjoy yours as well. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! I can't believe I almost missed the opportunity to visit the Vintage Gacha Fair this round since it ends on the 20th (sooner than I had realized) but I am making sure that all of you are aware so you can visit in its remaining few days. There are gifts out from just about every vendor, some designers even have multiple displays so you can wind up with more than one gift from some of them. The gifts are set out in little Chinese takeout style boxes with kawaii faces on them, and are not hard to find. The idea of the event is gachas from previous events, giving us another shot at popular older (vintage) prizes. I really enjoyed looking around and seeing what was available, some I recognized but others were new to me. This is their 10th round so it sounds like a popular idea, and there are items ranging from home decor to clothing and accessories, and much more.
Let's start things off with a sexy little number from Mistique called Dora Lilac. In our free gift you will find this in sizes for Classic, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya Lara, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. They have lots of artful lacing to hold things together just right, and a soft linen texture. My jewelry is a gift from the Vintage Gacha Fair too, from Sweet Kajira and it includes the headpiece, choker, and arm band (my right arm, just realized my pose is mostly hiding it and I apologize) which are named Petra collar cobre, Petra esclava cobre, and Petra tiara cobre. I will guess that cobre means copper, as the lovely metal used does look coppery to me and the words sound similar.
One of the designers with two different gifts at the Fair is Una, and they are the top and the skirt you see here. The adorable Candy Top is a single adjustable piece, chocolate cups with icing and even a cherry on top of the right cup. Delectable looking! The skirt is their Irregular Mesh Skirt in a whopping 7 standard type sizes, from XXS to XXL. It is longer in the back but not by much, and the soft ruffles look to have tiny pleats on them. The striking circlet I am wearing here is also a gift, from EvelineInTheBox and called Starling Headpiece Red. It has a resize script built in, and that ruby in the center is captivating.
This oh-so-soft looking outfit is from one of the FAIDA gifts at the fair, the name of the box and included LM indicate a store name of Whatz so it could be a subdivision or rebranding. This is called Whatz cookie black & bordeaux, and includes the top in 3 mesh sizes plus the pants in 5 mesh sizes. I advise caution as I seem to be having a bit of a nip slip, so this may work best as loungewear or at least not worn somewhere that would frown upon your breasts playing peekaboo ;) I'm sure you noticed my lovely jewelry as well, and the good news is that they are our gift from HopScotch. Their lovely Wavy Set includes two bracelets for each wrist, two rings for each wrist, the choker, and two septum rings. You can see from the inset that the septum ring is quite delicate and subtle, and the ring is on my thumb. I love the layer of silver between the gold, mixed metals have always appealed to me.
Our gift from LUAS is called NYMERIA PURPLE and is fully loaded. The top is resizeable mesh, while the skirt comes in 5 mesh sizes. The accessories included consist of bangles for the left and right hand and upper arms, headband, necklace, and matching belt. Included but not shown are a pair of sandals that looked to be for the default avatar feet. This is great for roleplay or any use you wish.
Sometimes I like to take a simply elegant black dress and jazz it up with terrific accessories, so I really enjoyed the opportunity from more Vintage Gacha Fair gifts. The gown is from Cosette called Paris and comes in standard mesh sizes, I had to go a bit larger than normal to avoid having to adjust my shape (the girls were out of control and busting out of the top and bottom of their cups!) with a very sexy side slit to show off your shapely leg. The circlet is from B&C called Ionna Circlet in Gold, and has a built in resize script for your convenience. The necklace is our gift from Velvet Whip, their Ginkgo Necklace Rose. I had a gold plated ginkgo leaf necklace as a teenager, sentimental attachment there, but the way these leaf stems curl around into the necklace itself and the adornment of the gorgeous gemstones, that is another level of beauty :)
My PC is being quirky and keeps setting the time a few minutes fast for no discernible reason, but other than that irritation I am doing pretty well. I hope today has been good to all of you, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am very happy to share the rest of the Fish 4 This set from Sn@tch this round, called We Shall Rise. In case you missed yesterday's post, it is 23 pieces and consists of 8 tops in system layers and on 2 Omega HUDs (patterned and solids) and 6 pairs of mesh pants (standard sizing plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink). These can be accentuated with a great open belted sweater (standard, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink sizes) as well as boots and a pair of earrings, and a pretty lipstick in system and Omega. I double checked because it's been at least 8 years since I bought my 7 Seas fishing rod, the vendor at Sn@tch next to the big fish tank has the casual rod for $100L and the pro for $250L. The difference is the ability to use bait on the pro rod, not free but increases your chances of catching things and the rarity of the official 7 Seas fish you can catch. If your main interest is the goodies from Sn@tch, the casual rod should do just fine and lasts forever.
Here is a good look at these terrific shirts, pants, and boots from the back as well as the front, so you can see the flattering curves of the pants and the sleek stiletto heels on the boots. This is the Sheer Grey tone of the Jersey Crop Top, for my fellow Omega HUD users this is one of 4 on the Solids HUD and is one of the 8 individual system layers out there to be fished up. Don't worry, they are ready to wear and don't smell fishy or like seaweed or anything ;) The Jett Leather Pants are looking sharp in Eggplant, I do love those zippers on the front and appreciate all shades of purple really.
Here is our lovely Jersey Crop Top in Khaki, soft and sandy enough of a shade that it looks fantastic with the Ocean color of the Jett Leather Pants. I look like I'm pondering something, probably considering the sales items at Sn@tch or maybe wondering what I will find next to share with you fine people.
Time to add the pretty Rise Sweater with that amazing belt, that I hope she releases for sale in other colors too because I need this in my life! I kept the Ocean shade of pants on, and topped them with the black Jersey Crop Top which is actually a lighter shade than the sweater's black, at least to my windlight settings. It looks fantastic! I am also a big fan of the sweater and boots being the same neutral color, so you could mix anything as bold or subtle as you wish in between and they will tie things together just right.
One last look, you can see the White version of the shirt along with the Oxblood shade of pants here. I topped things off with the enchanting Rise Lipstick in Mauve, this is the system layer but there is an Omega HUD to fish up as well for your mesh head needs. Before I tried it on, I was picturing a lighter mauve and wondering if you would even be able to see it over the lipstick already on my skin. As you can tell, it is a deep enough shade that it showed up wonderfully.
My day has gone fairly well, and I am eager to see what the rest of the week holds. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am showing you part one of the Sn@tch Fish 4 This current round, called We Shall Rise. As with the previous sets I have blogged, you will need a 7 Seas rod which is a small investment that pays off so much in the long run. The rod can be purchased at Sn@tch (and other locations) and you do not need bait to catch all the goodies in these sets. Just get comfy on a sofa or the dance floor by the lucky boards and riot vendors, set the rod to auto-cast and don't forget the items are transferable so you can swap with friends to complete the set even quicker. We Shall Rise consists of 23 pieces: 8 tops as system layers as well as being on 2 Omega HUDs (patterns and solids) plus 6 pairs of mesh pants (each bag contains one color in standard, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes) and a sweater in the same mesh sizes. There are accessories too, earrings and boots to help pull together any combination of the tops and pants you choose. It is a very elegant set that I am pleased to share.
This is our Sn@tch Jersey Crop Top in Black Lace, found on the Patterns Omega HUD as well as an individual system layer. I paired it with the Plum shade of the Sn@tch Jett Leather Pants, which come in 8 mesh sizes. Our sexy Rise Boots in Studded Black are separate pieces, and they have a resize script built in so you can adjust them as needed.
Here I am enjoying the Jersey Crop Top in Leopard, and have slipped into the Jett Leather Pants in black. The black really provides a nice contrast for the metal of the zippers, which seems to bring out the studs on the boots even more too. I love it when an outfit comes together so well!
Another choice from the Patterns Omega HUD is this Zebra print of the Jersey Crop Top, and I kept the same black pants on while topping things off with our Sn@tch Rise Sweater. It comes in 8 mesh sizes and has a terrific skinny belt attached. I have also added the Sn@tch Rise Earrings in Silver.
I kept the beautiful sweater on and changed to the last of the patterned shirts, Cross. The pants I am wearing here are the Army color, and you can see a much better view of those fantastic earrings in the inset. They are very detailed and could go well with plenty of wardrobe favorites.
This morning I was chased around by the rolling restarts, LOL, from Sn@tch to another store to my new home (glimpses seen in the photos, and plenty in the future) and back out again. I lost track of time while fishing, which happens a lot but can be troublesome on Tuesdays. I am simply nocturnal with bad luck and usually am still online when they happen. I had a busy but good day otherwise, and hope all of you had a good one too. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am pleased to share some gifts you can find at the current round of Designer Circle, which is round #142. That in itself is quite impressive, the event reaching that number of times they have brought you carefully chosen items from top quality creators all over the grid. If you needed any extra incentive to visit, these thoughtful gifts ought to do it. No group needed, each is set for sale for $0L so all visitors can pick them up for free.
First we get to dazzle in white, starting with the great dress from TentatioN. Their gift to us comes in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitted, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. I matched it with another gift found there, from DE Boutique, their AW16 Brenda Heels Special Gift. These are a perfect fit for my Slink high feet, and have pretty details like those bright golden buckles.
This lovely dress is a gift from Sinful Curves Skins named Cassie, and the texture put me in mind of either Halloween or a throwback to the old HBO series Carnivale since it was set in the Dust Bowl era and everything was filmed in earth tones. I think the stripes made me think of a carnival as well. Inside your gift you will find this dress in several sizes for mesh bodies rather than standards: Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. It is very possible that one of those will fit a classic avatar, and normally I'd say to try a demo if there is any doubt but for free it almost IS a demo for itself :) *wonders if Carnivale is available on Netflix...*
Speaking of mesh bodies, this terrific gift from [WellMade] is their Sue Dress in a size for Maitreya bodies. You may have realized that the only mesh body I own right now is a Slink Physique, so I am grateful to be able to alpha out some sections of my body to accommodate the differences. I wonder if this color is considered oxblood, a really hot color this season. I definitely like it whatever it is called, my RL birthstone is garnet which can be similar.
Another wonderful gift you can find at Designer Circle is this Sasha Sweater in Zigzag from MOoH! which includes a HUD with 4 color choices. The sweater itself, which is just long enough to wear as a dress or you could pair it with your favorite pants beneath, comes in many different mesh sizes to suit almost everyone: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Maitreya in tight or loose fit, and Slink in tight or loose fit (loose shown here). The versatility is such an important part of this gift, and I am quite fond of the stripes being almost like chevrons.
For a bright pop of color on an alluring dress, be sure to pick up the gift from Prism Designs, their Faye Sequin Dress by Jezzixa Cazalet in Turquoise. This beauty comes in standard mesh sizes, and just look at that sparkly texture up top and the stunning jeweled bow with dangling pearl as part of the texture on the front. Color me pleased :)
One last look of the evening, this is a better look at the eyes I have been wearing tonight which are also a gift found at Designer Circle. MESANGE has these Mineko eyes set out as a gift for all of us, a striking silvery shade in system layers along with mesh and HUDs for Omega and Genesis. No matter what outfit you wear, your eyes may be noticed first when you meet someone and particularly if they are this attractive.
Things are returning to "normal" around here, LOL, whatever that may be, for a week or so then the rush of preparing for Thanksgiving will be here. I am actually nervous about this year's big family get-together, I am concerned that someone will bring up politics and that will create much tension if it happens. I'm trying to focus on the happier things, seeing family members that I rarely get to see otherwise and just enjoying the yummy food. I will just leave the table for a bit if need be. I hope Monday was good to all of you and that your week ahead holds plenty of good things, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
