Doves Dreamy Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'll be sharing some more group gifts from the Doves Dream event, which is in honor of Palomma Casanova who was also known as Dove and the heart and soul behind The Free Dove. The event will be held annually and open on her RL birthday (March 11th), until the 11th of April so we still have a good amount of time to visit and pick up demos, make final purchases, and pick up lots of generous gifts :) Those are for the Palomma Plaza group, which is in the former location of The Free Dove and is on the ground level of the same region where you'll be visiting Doves Dream. That group is free to join and will allow you to claim all the gifts at Palomma Plaza as well, so it's one I am definitely holding onto in my group slots :) I miss Dove as a friend, and am so glad that her generosity and kindness are being perpetuated in SL to keep her memory alive.


For my first look of the evening, I am enjoying our Telsiope's Couture Perla gift. It is a lovely romper with spaghetti straps and fluttery legs, very stylish for the warmer weather of the season :) There are sizes for Kalhene, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, as well as a HUD with 23 textures to choose from on two pages (use arrows on the bottom of the HUD to navigate). It made me smile trying out all the pretty textures, and it's like receiving almost 2 dozen different rompers for free!


Another nice gift I think you'll appreciate is this *Ydea* Party dress. It combines denim with a vibrant floral print, with single long sleeve and gathered/tied mini skirt. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing. 


Time to get flirty with the *Pink Mango* Ofe Gift outfit! Mix and match the various pieces, which include the sweater, bra, panties, and sheer leggings, all in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. The bra and panties have the same polka dot print, and can be worn together as a swimsuit if you wish. I can also see wearing the bra and sweater combo with various pants or skirts already in my inventory, these pieces are just all so handy and versatile.


Our DANI Crystal Ocean Tube Dress gift from Designs by Danielle has a beautiful color, eye catching texture, and is cut low enough to be rather revealing ;) It is provided in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh body sizes. It is a real head turner!


My final look of the evening combines two gifts that can be found in the center of the event rather than at an individual display. The {Le'La} Sunflower Dress is a lovely treat with dress and flowers accessory layer each in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There's also a terrific HUD included with 50 textures for the dress (mix of solids and prints), 30 colors for the heels, 30 for the flowers on the dress, and 30 for the flowers on the heels. Speaking of which, the {Le'La} Sunflower Heels are the other free gift right next to the dress in that center area of the event :) They come in similar sizes - Erika, Gen X, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies - along with an identical HUD. I've moved the shoes into the same folder as the dress, discarded the extra HUD, and renamed it with "& Heels" at the end to try to simply my inventory a tiny bit :) I think I mentioned yesterday that Dove's favorite flower was the sunflower, so much so that her memorial park she'd designed for her sister was called Sunflower Park and was fully in bloom with the beautiful blossoms. So you will see lots of sunflowers here in her honor, both hers and her sister's really. 

It was a quiet day here, as I woke up with a headache (still there but less intense, whew) and didn't go anywhere or do much. I'm trying to decide on upcoming blog posts and schedules, as I try to make sure I give all of you sufficient time to get to events or find hunt prizes before the time runs out. It can be a lot of juggling on my end, but I do it because I know how disappointed I am if I read a blog post a day or two later and missed the chance to visit somewhere or have mere hours left. If you don't have time to read here everyday, it shouldn't mean missing out completely :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts from Doves Dream

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have a very special event to visit, Doves Dream which is a beautiful tribute to Palomma Casanova of The Free Dove. It was her RL birthday on the 11th when the event began, and it continues until the 11th of April. The location is above Palomma Plaza, and if you wear your Palomma Plaza group tag "Doves Angel" you can claim several free gifts while you shop the exclusive and discounted offers. The area is decorated beautifully, with a stairway to heaven leading to one of her avatar photos :) It all made me feel very emotional, as it's hard to believe she has been gone for over a year already, but I know that she will always be a part of SL in various ways and Shelby Monitor is doing an amazing job keeping her legacy going. This event will be an annual occurrence, while the Palomma Plaza is a fulltime location to visit and pick up generous free gifts from favorite designers.


My first look is the [AF] Ayumi Jeans and Cotton Top, the gift from anny's Fashion. This charming outfit includes the cropped top and miniskirt each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. We also receive a handy HUD with 15 solid colors and 12 floral patterns for the top, 15 skirt colors, 12 for the belt, and 8 metals for plenty of possibilities. It is great for spring, and I am excited to wear it :)


Sunflowers were very meaningful to Dove, so the *V* Moonstar Gift - Sunflower Halter Dress is particularly special. The lovely denim dress has a playful ruffle at the hem, and a deep neckline that accentuates the cleavage perfectly. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies included. The bold yellow flowers embroidered down the side are the perfect touch, don't you think?


Next I slipped into the Lara AC Dress LOLI GIFT, which is a versatile and flirty strapless mini. It comes in black, blue, green, pink, red, and yellow that are each packaged in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. I'm wearing the yellow on the left above and the pink on the right, and all of the colors have a subtle floral pattern as you see on both.


I am also delighted with the generous Angel Coverall - Hud texture 2 free gift from Delicatt Couture, and who can blame me? The many openings are like lace but edgy, and the jumpsuit looks great in any of the 9 colors from the provided HUD. The outfit itself is included in classic M and fitmesh M for classic avatars, plus sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies.


My final look of the evening is a full outfit from .::BE BOLD::. named Up Fashion. The top and panties are provided in black and white versions each, all in BOM layers, and the crop jacket and skirt each come in Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Senra Jamie mesh bodies. The sneakers are included in the same sizes as the other mesh clothing, with the Senra Jamie versions being unrigged so you can adjust them if necessary. I love the mix of casual, sporty, and sassy!

It was a good weekend here, and I had a productive therapy session today with double outing (well I went 2 places in a row). So little bits of progress are being made, and I am feeling much more positive than I was a few weeks ago. I've got a phone call appointment with my family doctor this week, so that should be interesting. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree Hunt Again

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've returned to the FabFree in SL St. Patty's Hunt path, with another handful of wonderful prizes available until the end of the month. All these treats are $0L - $5L and hidden inside neon rainbows, with landmarks and hints on the FabFree blog. There are preview images too, so you can see what wonderful bargains you can find :) I know the actual holiday is Sunday, but spring technically isn't even here yet in RL and green works for any season. So I am still excited to share all of these with all of you, and hope you find some prizes you enjoy.


My first look of the night is a duo of tops found in the same $1L rainbow at @rOrO which is their Lauren Legacy St Patricks Special. Just like the name says, they are both designed for the Legacy body, and both textures are just lovely! The style is so pretty too, peplum halters held in place by a wide belt. 


Next I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Shaun, who looks quite pleased to be featured on a $5L exclusive prize from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. He's even giving us a happy thumbs up! This great tee comes in their new set of sizes, so 5 standard mesh sizes as well as versions for eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. All in all there are 5 prizes at this stop, with the SHAUN Tee being one of 2 exclusives for $5L each while the other three are rereleases for $1L apiece. The rereleases are awesome because they have the new sizes, and I'm just a longtime huge fan anyway :) 


If it's time to dress up in something elegant and sparkly, I'm delighted to suggest this $5L Belle Epoque - Giannina - Hunt Prize. The dress is a special strapless tube style in sizes for Lara X, Petite, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. It also includes a 5 color HUD, with all textures loaded with sequins and sharp embroidery. One of the color choices is green, but I wanted to demonstrate the versatility by showing a couple other picks instead :)


Earlier in the month I'd shared 2 of the 3 prizes ($1L each) from Ruxy, so it seems only fair to show you the third :) This beauty is our Diana green dress, and it fits Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD for the sparkly brooch, with 10 gemstone colors and 4 metals. So pretty!


My final look of the evening brings us to Entice, who in addition to dressing us up in fine fashions will also gladly adorn our nails in style. Their Molly Malone Nails set is a single applier HUD with 5 designs, each compatible with Maitreya, Belleza, Slink, Omega, Gen X, Reborn, and Legacy mesh nails. Since it's just $5L when you find the correct rainbow, this is an affordable way to beautify your nails of almost any body. I layered 2 images to share two of the 5 possibilities here, and the others are wonderfully themed as well. It sure looks like I was craving a green and gold combo here :)

Hooray for Friday! It was a busy day with a quick outing on the way to my parents' for dinner, and now I'm planning some things for the weekend. I am not going anywhere tomorrow but my next therapy session is Sunday, so that is almost surely going to include an outing. I may try to color my hair this weekend, a demi-permanent with no ammonia so it shouldn't smell too strong or damage my hair. If not this weekend, I will get to it soon, perhaps next week :) I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still Green and Freaky

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some more SLS Green Freaks Hunt prizes to share, as there were just too many tempting ones to squeeze into a single post last night. So I'm still sporting lots of green, thanks to free gifts we can claim by finding the hidden gold coins adorned with a 4-leaf clover in each participating store. Some places have multiple coins, and others are taking part in the associated sale with discounts on green items of 25% or more. I can't resist a good sale of course, and these designers are fantastic so it is the perfect time to indulge :) We have about a week and a half remaining, as the hunt/sale is only open until the 24th. So hurry or you might wind up green with envy over what you'd missed!


For my first look of the evening, I'm enjoying two wonderful prizes from She Said Destroy. Their SSD. Green Freaks - Top & Clover includes the flirty halter top in eBody Reborn, Legacy, and Perky sizes, as well as the cleavage clover and mouth clover I'm wearing. The clovers are unrigged so go ahead and move them around as you wish :) They all pair very nicely with the SSD. Green Freaks - Pants, which fit eBody Reborn and Legacy bodies and have a gorgeous shimmery texture. Between the built in belt and the flared legs, these are stylish and very flattering.


Amadeus has 3 hidden coins, whose contents all combined to create my next look above. The Amadeus - Ero-flowers - Green Freaks '24 is the sets of flowers on the breasts, with left and right each in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The Amadeus - Bianca - Bottom - Legacy - Green Freaks '24 is fairly self explanatory, a lower portion of a satin bodysuit with pretty gemstone at the navel in a single size. The blossoms on my legs are the Amadeus - Legs Flowers - Green Freaks '24, in all the same sizes as the breast flowers but with 4 pieces for each (upper left, lower left, upper right, lower right) so we can wear them all or just a few. I love being able to coordinate things in such a way, and the vibrant color does make me think of spring :)


Next we visit KILLJOY to find their Passion Top Green Freaks Hunt Edition prize. The bare shouldered style top is cropped enough to reveal a touch of underboob, and the sheer flared sleeves are a beautiful touch. Find the coin and you'll receive Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. I'm wearing it with the black pair of jeans from my favorite marketplace fatpack freebie from Delizio.


Those jeans came in handy for this look as well, so I could share our Ash. -Dora Top - Clover prize. There are 2 coins here with male and female goodies, so be sure to find them both :) Dora comes in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 20 colors for our belt and 5 metals for the buckle and all the trimming. The men's version is quite similar, draping around the back of the neck and down the front on each side like ours.


My final look the evening is the UNA. Lupa Green prize, one of three you can find at their store :) This sexy outfit includes the top in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes, with skirt and panties that each fit Legacy and Maitreya mesh bodies. The perky and petite versions are chest mods so the sizes only need to be specific to the tops. I feel like the top and panties work together as a mature themed bikini, and those starry bra cups are just perfectly eye-catching.

I can't decide if this week has felt shorter or longer than usual, because it somehow has felt both at once. Perception is a heck of a weird thing sometimes ;) Also, why do I feel utterly compelled to watch The Mummy Returns (or its predecessor) every time I stumble across it while checking my tivo guide? They are both among my favorite movies, and the combo of romance, adventure, and these actors all resonate with me. Tomorrow is my usual Friday dinner at my parents', so I'm definitely looking forward to that. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Green Freaks Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we've got a brief but wonderful hunt to explore, the SLS Green Freaks Hunt by SL Syndicate. There are free prizes hiding inside gold coins with a 4-leaf clover on it, so the theme is specifically green with a hint of St. Patrick's Day mixed in. I've always appreciated the SLS community as having an alternative kind of feeling, like if you lean towards the darker side of fashion it will suit you quite well :) Having said that, I still like to point out the variety among these designers and would not peg the entire hunt as any one genre. I did mention brief, well that's because the hunt opened a few days ago and wraps up on the 24th (total of two weeks) and includes a sale on green items at many stores of 25% off or more. The website lists each store with how many coins they have hidden, and if they are taking part in the sale, hunt, or both. There are no hints, so be prepared to cam around high and low to find these generous treats. 


My first look of the evening comes from Web Dew, and is in one of their 3 hidden coins. Their ::WD:: Youth - Emerald Lime outfit consists of the top, skirt, petals, panties, and shoes that all fit Legacy/Perky, Maitreya/Petite, Reborn and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD to adjust the glow intensity and color in 8 choices, and color the lights of the skirt's decorations in your choice of 8 hues. Also you may notice the skirt hem looking different on each side above, that is because of the HUD's options for blend, mask, or solid in that area. My suggestion as always is to click all the things, have all the fun, and see what tickles your fancy :)


Another irresistible treat from Web Dew is their ::WD:: Set Jamari - Green, which also has some customization options to make it your own. The top, skirt, and belt are all included in sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. Then there is a HUD with 10 choices each for the striped trim (collar and cuffs) and the belt. I can't even decide which detail appeals to me the most - the portrait collar but sexy, the asymmetrical hemline, or the shredded sections that indicate a well worn, much loved outfit.


So, Petrichor took the 'green freaks' theme in an herbal direction if you catch my drift, LOL, and applied their interpretation to both of their generous prizes :) Confused? Just look closer at the pattern on the fabric, those aren't clovers with extra and pointy leaves ;) This is their :[P&E]:- Aranie Body Greenfreak bodysuit, and I'm just such a fan of their styling even back from their days as Plastik. There are sizes for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Mounds mesh bodies included. It almost looks like multiple pieces, but it is all one intricate piece with arm bands/bows, corset, large pasties, panties, and a bold bow (I wanted to call it a big ass bow and let you decide where the dash should go...) in delightful shades of green.


Another of the 3 coins at Petrichor contains their :[P&E]:- Cheras Dress Greenfreak in a similar texture and hues. This sexy mini dress has a built in chain belt, asymmetrical and angular hemline and neckline for a really intriguing look :) It fits Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies.


For my final look of the evening, I combined two of the 3 prizes from +Chandra+ for a really sexy result. The Nocnitsa Leather GREEN is two pieces, top and bottom, each in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. I get strong vibes of wings, and the rear view is definitely an eyeful ;) Please know that any time I comment on something being revealing, it is never a complaint or a judgy thing, just a recognition of wow, that is sexy! The color is a perfect match for the Hecate Boots GREEN prize, alluring mid-thigh high platform boots that make our legs look like they go on forever. These fit Kupra, Legacy Female, Legacy Male, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. Just because I wore these two prizes together certainly doesn't mean you have to, if you have other styling ideas I always encourage that. Heck, tag me on Flickr if you want to show me how you wore something I've blogged :)

It was a fairly busy Wednesday, and I had a decent outing to the local park which was a perfect choice for the nice weather :) Got to see several dogs enjoying their walks, so that made things more pleasant seeing how joyful they were to be out and about. If I could swap places with a non-human creature, I think I'd want to be a dog so everything is so exciting...all the sights, sounds, smells, and treats! My first choice would probably be a bird because they get to fly though. I hope you're all having a blissful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Bunny Kisses and Easter Wishes

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're exploring the Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes 4 Hunt by Cheeky Monkey Hunts. There are tons of terrific prizes and exclusive offers, all hiding in golden eggs (flat prim images, not 3D rounded eggs) for $1L for the hunt prizes and $25L or $50L for the exclusive treats. The website is your source for all the landmarks, hints, and preview images so you know what each egg will hold and how to find them. My thanks as always go to the designers for sharing their creativity with us so affordably, and the organizers for working so hard to make sure we have so many possibilities to visit each round :) From familiar faces to new surprises, the variety always appeals to me and makes me smile.


My first look of the evening comes from The Sissy Bar, and is their (TSB) Bunny Kisses and Easter Wishes 4 outfit. The tank top comes in classic S, M, L and fitmesh S, M, L sizes for classic avatars as well as Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. The shorts have a similar set of sizes - 5 standard plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. The stonewashed beige denim shorts are a fun pairing for the vivid yellow tank with a sweet spring scene on the front :)


I borrowed (kept on) the TSB shorts to show you two of the three awesome tops you can find at The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. in their new set of sizing. The $1L prize for this round is called BUNNY BUTT Tee, and yep that is it on the left above saying "Guess what? Bunny Butt" with an adorable cotton tail in the middle. I love the half-a-lop look of one ear straight up and the other flopped over, making our rabbit friend a little extra sassy. The $50L exclusive offer to find is their CAN'T STOP STARING Tee, and I definitely agree with the wording of "so cute you can't stop staring"! Another precious bunny, this time wearing a sunflower on one ear and holding an egg decorated with hearts, it's cuteness overload ♥. So the new sizes can be unpacked individually via HUD, and include 5 standard sizes as well as sizing for eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. Just deliver the one you need and hold onto the HUD for future reference, in case you ever switch bodies as I've done a few times over the years :) It's the way SL goes, growth and change are good signs.


Bring on more bunnies! GoodVibes has a $1L prize called HUNT Cheeky Bunny - Mint, a fun combo of flirty and cute. The crossed top and ruffled shorts each fit Maitreya and Star mesh bodies, and we also receive the adjustable bunny ears for that perfect extra touch. Be sure to read the enclosed notecard if you like carrots, as it tells you how to get one absolutely free ;) This mint color really caught my eye as being a slightly bolder choice than typical pale pastels of the season, and I love it! 


@AdReNaLiZeD@ also chose to offer one of each price point for a total of 3 great prizes, two of which are appearing above :) The sweet bare shouldered dress on the left is Laura Orange Bunny, our $1L prize. It is provided in Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. It has a pattern of bunnies and soft polka dots, very pretty and springlike. On the right I've changed into the $25L Gretchen Lilac Bunny exclusive, because the sweet rabbits all around the hemline were calling to me...from far away I thought the upper bodice pattern was lace, but zoomed in and saw more bunnies as well as some butterflies, so another great option for spring :) Even the belt is adorned with a bunny! This offer contains standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP body sizes. 


Yes folks, there are a few non-bunny prizes, and I love them too :) My final look of the evening is the Psyche's Pstyles Wishes on the Wind Dress, a $1L prize that is a remarkable bargain for that tiny cost. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh bodies of this lovely maxidress, in a monochromatic print of dandelions ready to scatter their seeds. I have fond memories of making wishes on those as a kid, and blowing on them while giggling about whatever I was wishing for. What a clever name for this dress! I am a big fan of the soft pleats and bare shoulders, and I'm sure I can find a simple pair of sandals in my inventory to wear with it.

My evening got a bit hectic somehow, with messages from my mom and from a dear friend. My mom shared that she spoke to her brother today and he told her that his younger son (one of my 2 favorite cousins) and his wife are expecting :) I am so excited for them as I know they were eager to start a family, and she's had some health issues that had her concerned that it might not be possible. I don't know how far along she is or anything yet, and I don't want to reach out to them and make them feel like our parents are gossiping about them. Oh and yes, my mom phrased it as expecting rather than pregnant because apparently in the olden days you weren't allowed to say pregnant on tv and my mom is very delicate with her language :) I say all this lovingly, not disparagingly, as I appreciate her gentle nature and how genuinely sweet and innocent she is. The weather is going to be warm for 2 days and then dip to wintry again for at least a week, so who peed in Mother Nature's cornflakes? LOL well I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Spotlight On Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight the spotlight gleams on a store of that same name, SPOTLIGHT, and the generous gifts they have for us :) Their store group is free to join with many gifts near the staircase, which leads up to a room to the left with two midnight mania boards and 4 lucky chairs which do not need the group tag active. I've tried clicking those midnight mania boards daily for at least 2 weeks with no luck though, so I am here to beg all of you to visit and give them both a little tickle? The prizes are two versions of a flirty dress that has different texture HUDs with each, and I'd love to win both or either soon. Meanwhile I'd won all 4 prizes from the chairs, which change letters every 5 minutes and offer "?" wild cards where anyone can win too. The group gifts downstairs are a set of 12 monthly treats and a handful unlabeled as to when they were first offered, but timeless beauties abound here.


For my first look I am enjoying a lucky chair prize called SPOTLIGHT - BROOKLYN DRESS. Its unpacker HUD offers Erika, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Kups Flat, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes, which can be delivered individually with a 45 color HUD. This way we can change the look on a whim, and it provides great versatility. 


Another goodie from the lucky chairs is the playful SPOTLIGHT - NOVA DRESS, with crossed halter and V shaped hemline in the front that rises daringly in the rear. There are sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra Original, Bimbo, Low, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. There's also a HUD in there, with a stunning array of 45 colors to choose from :) Spoiler alert - you'll look smoking hot in this, whichever hue you pick!


Next I combined two more lucky chair prizes, which based on their names are intended to coordinate and be worn just so. The SPOTLIGHT - LANDRY TOP is a tube top with detached sleeves as a separate attachment, in sizing for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. I wore it with the sleeves on the left and without on the right, still can't decide which way I prefer so I will let the season dictate that one. The seemingly typical 45 color HUD is provided as well, so you can tint the top and sleeves each independently. I also won the SPOTLIGHT - LANDRY SKIRT, which is a snug fitting mini with built in belt and garter. It fits Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, and the HUD has not only the 45 colors for the main skirt but also 5 metals and 4 belt color options. I love the way the left thigh slit has one side folded slightly back, like a little notch that would easily happen in RL when wearing this type of style. The skirt is about to come in extra handy too...


Back downstairs what looks like the 2 most recent group gifts are both lovely tops that I am eager to share. This is the February gift called SPOTLIGHT - VALENTYNE TOP, but don't let the name fool you...this is suitable for any time of year that you're feeling romantic or just really like hearts (like me). There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and a HUD with 10 textures all sprinkled with hearts. The one I chose for the left matched the black I selected for the skirt, and then I just went rainbow for the right :) I always think of red as the default color for hearts, and you will find a pattern or two like that as well.


I changed the skirt to a springy green for my final look of the evening, and slipped into the March gift which is called SPOTLIGHT - MADISON TOP. In sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu bodies, it is blooming with possibilities as there are 10 floral patterns on its texture HUD. The slightly cropped style and puffed sleeves gave a breezy, seasonal feeling too. 

I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
