Trick or Treat Lane

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am starting my weekend at Trick or Treat Lane, an annual event with exclusive sales items and free gifts from every designer. They are either tricks or treats, meaning the tote bag they are in is either hidden inside the store's pumpkin-shaped booth or out in the open on the hay bale to the left of each display. There is an impressive lineup of participants, of which you can get a sneak preview if you wish by visiting their website. This is such a fun season for shopping!

This pretty look starts with the Dark Intentions gift called DI: Boo Long Tank, that I am wearing as a dress. It comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a 10 color HUD to change the background hue of the Halloween themed pattern. Its short length works well to show off the alaskametro<3 gift "Black Kat" limited edition tights, which are provided in system/BOM layers and an Omega applier. The kitty is so cute, and did you notice the tails on the back? Such cute details!

If you need some seasonal lingerie, be sure to pick up the [QE] Lilith Lingerie -Halloween- gift from Trick or Treat Lane. Its bustier and thong are each included in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, with a 3 texture HUD so you can choose from three different color combinations. In addition to the two above, there is a dramatic black and white option that is just as sexy :) 

Witch In A Box is offering a Halloween Gift dress just for finding their treat bag, and it is gorgeous! This strapless mini has a solid black top tied with a satiny bow above the tight skirt smattered with a rainbow of stars. It comes in sizes for Alice, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. 

I also eagerly grabbed the treat from 1313 Mockingbird Lane, called (*<*) 1313 Norma Jean Bikini - Gothabilly. It has a terrific unpacker HUD that lets you choose just the size(s) you want to deliver - Kupra, Kupra Kups, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, or Maitreya Petite - and once you click it you will receive a folder with the top and bottom inside. The bikini top has a fun double strap in the back and a contrasting white halter strap, while the bottom is high waisted with roses and skulls adorning it.

My final look of the evening is the treat from Sn@tch, their hilarious Wrong Crop Top. It includes eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite body sizes. There is also a HUD as you probably guessed, with 6 amusing sayings to choose from. You can select Trick, or Treat (as I did on the right), Little Ray of Pitch Black, On everyday we wear Black (left above), Not a Costume, or Boo!. I feel like if Wednesday Addams were in SL, this is something she would wear, and I mean that as a fervent compliment :)

Are you ready for the weekend? I had a really nice visit with my parents for dinner, and am looking forward to the farmers market in the morning. The weather should be cool but not rainy, although I think the clouds will make it feel extra chilly so a light jacket might be in order. I remember when it used to feel like winter in late October and even had snow for Halloween on occasion, but I think the last snowy Halloween was about 10 years ago. I will be taking my customary Saturday evening off from blogging, but I'll return Sunday with some more Trick or Treat Lane goodies because you deserve to see more. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Time To Get Twisted

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am thrilled to share some hunt prizes from the Fall 2021 Twisted Hunt. This round's theme is Beyond The Veil, and the color of the spinning lament cubes is dusk which is a smoky purple shade. Some of the prizes are in that color, but it is not required so there is a nice range, and many stores are offering unisex or male and female prizes which is always appreciated. The Twisted Hunt is billed as the hardest hunt in SL for good reason, so be prepared to work for these prizes ;) There are up to 13 visible decoy cubes allowed at each store, and all main prizes will be within 30 meters of the landing spot. There are easels at many stores that you can click for a notecard with info about side hunts, special offers, and if you're really lucky, a hint. You can also politely request a hint in the hunt's group chat, which is free to join and has some really wonderful people :) I also suggest poking around on their website for tips and guidelines. Ready to challenge yourself and wind up with very worthwhile rewards?

You will need to click my first look to see it full size, as it is wider than I normally make them due to my wings. The wings and dress are each prizes from Secrets of Gaia, as there are two cubes there that hold treats for you to find. The SoG Goddess Hel Gown comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with built in belts draping down the front of the skirt. The SoG Unisex Celestial Wings look beautiful with the gown, but will also work well with whatever you prefer to pair them with. They include rigged and unrigged static versions, so you can choose if you need to adjust them or not. I am a big fan of the coloring, and there seems to be a gentle glow that I cannot resist. 

Sn@tch has a main prize in a traditional cube, along with a side hunt filled with 8 rats that each contain at least one gift. This look is from one of those rats, which holds the Sn@tch Alexia Velvet Bra and Undies each in black and oxblood. I have mixed them up here so the oxblood bra is on the left with the black panties, and oxblood panties to the right with the black bra. The stockings have a wide lace band to hold them up, and sexy seams down the back leading to tiny bows. All of these pieces are provided in system/BOM layers. Please excuse that I do not know how to hide my Maitreya toenails, LOL, and am not even sure there is a way despite it being a really good idea sometimes.

Another side hunt prize from Sn@tch that really caught my eye is this Sorcery Gown (Sequin). It includes Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique body sizes, all with that daring side slit revealing pretty much the entire left leg. 

Sn@tch Carrie Gown (B&W) is one of several treats inside the same rat, #8 of 8 in the side hunt. The black and white versions are each splattered with blood, clearly a nod to the Carrie movie scene where the main character is doused with blood at her prom. The dresses are sized for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Since a certain spooky season is headed our way, I think we can find plenty of creative ways to wear these for Halloween or roleplaying.

My final look of the evening is also showing off my left leg in a very alluring way :) It is the (RP) Shadow Seductress Dress Violet from Roped Passions, one of two prizes since the men can find a handsome grey suit with violet dress shirt beneath. Our gown seen here is provided in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. I really like the silver lightning imprints, the feathery trim on the bodice, and the laced corset styling in the back. This is one of the participating stores I always look forward to visiting, both for the quality of the prizes and for the fun of clicking decoy cubes that have very sassy things to say in return. Be sure to keep an eye on local chat while you're here for the giggles!

For some reason it feels like chaos should be my middle name lately, and my weekend plans have been altered several times in just two days. Now the usual trip to the farmers market is a maybe, and the annoying houseguest is a yes. At least I got to enjoy dinner at my parents', and smooth things over from a sticky issue that cropped up last night. A few cousins decided to throw a 95th birthday party for my grandmother in a couple of weeks, and I was very concerned about the fact that we've bent over backwards protecting her for a year and a half so I did not like the idea of an indoor gathering with no masks because of eating food. If the weather is nice they will have it outside (she has a ramp for her wheelchair) which is safer. I know they mean well and love her, so they miss her like I do. As usual I will not be blogging tomorrow evening as my weekend night off, but I plan to return Sunday evening with more Twisted goodies. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Splatterpunk at Sn@tch

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are diving into the newest Sn@tch Fish 4 This set, which just reached their 7 Seas custom prize giver on Wednesday and should be there for at least 2 weeks. It is called Splatterpunk, and there are 22 pieces to fish up with a 7 Seas fishing rod (buy at Sn@tch or on the marketplace) which can be used indefinitely without bait so there are no additional charges required once you purchase the rod. What I suggest is setting the rod with the blue menu to automatically decline the 7 Seas official fish so you'll only receive the custom items, and set it to auto-cast so it will continuously cast for you. The pieces we catch are transferable so you can swap your extras with your friends, which is also why Xan very kindly helps me out :) He keeps me company and gives me anything he catches that I don't already have, since he only wears a male avatar and doesn't use the fishing sets himself. As for the set itself, well there are 8 cropped biker style jackets that are each bagged in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Then we have 8 pairs of system layer/BOM jeans, each with a fun color splashed onto black belted jeans. There are cuffs for the jeans in another bag, and there is a system/BOM layer fishnet shirt with built in pasties to wear alone or beneath the jacket. We can also catch system/BOM fingerless gloves, eye shadow, and lipstick, as well as coordinating earrings, choker, and even boots. How about a fun punky hairstyle to go with it all? We can catch 3 colors that each include two sizes for a great fit. 

I started my evening with the Sn@tch Suzy Hair Black, whose full shaggy style is reminiscent of the teased and sprayed looks I favored in the 80s and have been popular at various times ever since. Then I put on the Sn@tch Fishnet & Pasties (Rhinestone) which you can see by itself on the left, a cropped tank top that covers just the crucial parts ;) On the left I am wearing the Sn@tch Splash Pants in Pink, while they are in Black on the right beneath the Sn@tch Suzy Jacket (DOOMED). Each jacket has a design on the back, and the collar is colored to match just right. 

I also really like the Suzy Hair in Platinum, which really shows the Sn@tch hair texture nicely so you can see that it looks shiny and healthy despite all the teasing ;) On the left I am wearing the Sn@tch Suzy Jacket (SKULL) with the Sn@tch Splash Pants (Blue), while the LIME version of the jacket is on the right with the Green pants. Whatever color tickles your fancy, you are bound to find something in this set that makes you feel even more sexy and beautiful. 

One of my favorite colors is purple, so you know I was delighted to change into the Sn@tch Suzy Jacket (SCORPION) with the Sn@tch Splash Pants (Purple). I also tried on the Sn@tch Suzy Jacket (PANTHER) on the right with the Sn@tch Splash Pants (Yellow) to really bring out the color of our panther design on the back of the jacket. I also added the Sn@tch The Cruel Earrings (Black) which are large hoops, and the Sn@tch Splash Jeans Cuffs (Black) that complete the look of the pants. 

Our third hue of the Suzy Hair is Auburn, and this is a particularly deep reddish shade that I am very fond of. I think it brings out the Sn@tch Cateye Sparkle Shadow (Black) that I added for this look, lots of lush shadow and liner that accentuate our eyes to make them pop. On the left you can see the Sn@tch Suzy Jacket (DEVIL) with its blue collar, worn with the Sn@tch Splash Pants (Teal). The jacket on the right is our Sn@tch Suzy Jacket (MOTH) prize, and I changed into the Purple pair of pants just for fun :) I also added the ::Sn@tchers Laurel Biker Boots (BLACK) which we catch individually (left and right are separate prizes) then we can adjust them to fit any flat foot or just alpha out our feet. They have chunky heels and bold straps, for a look that turns heads. 

For my final look of the evening, I pulled out all the stops by adding even more makeup and accessories :) Starting from the top, in addition to the eyeshadow I am now wearing the Sn@tch Luscious Lipstick (Black). Then I added the ::Sn@tch Black Star Choker:: that is unrigged so we can adjust as needed. The Sn@tch Glory Gloves (Black) are a great match for our tank top, upper arm bands with connected fingerless fishnet gloves. While I didn't wear a jacket on the left, I am enjoying the Sn@tch Suzy Jacket (PANTHER) on the right which I just realized is a mistake since it is a repeat of the third photo. I'm sorry, as you can see there were a lot of changes and separate pieces so I seem to have gotten confused. The pants on the right are our Sn@tch Splash Pants (Red) with the Yellow on the right, and in case I didn't mention it before there are 2 pants prizes which each contain 4 system/BOM layers for the grand total of 8. 

It was a decent weekend here, and I really enjoyed the farmers market on Saturday as usual. It was really hot out, but it hadn't started raining yet so that was a plus :) Rain would have made things too sticky in that heat. I wound up with what might be hives on my face, probably from the sunscreen I used since it is the only thing I've done differently lately and is only the 3rd or 4th time I ever used that brand. Now I have to investigate all the ingredients to see what could be the culprit, and try to get something with different ingredients. My week should be much calmer than last week, with only one thing planned, so my blogging should be more consistent every night. I hope you all had a terrific weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sn@tch Ahoy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have wonderful news, as the Sn@tch store is back to actively releasing new items including a fishing outfit. If you recall, they use the 7 Seas fishing system (rod can be purchased at the store or marketplace where it can also be gifted to a friend) and no bait is required to fish for the Fish 4 This set pieces. They are transferable so you can swap your extras with others to complete each set faster. It has been just over a year since the last set, due to the designer's health, but she is back and I couldn't be happier for her ♥. Our set is called Sn@tch Ahoy! and has 24 pieces to collect that you can mix and match to create lots of individual looks. There are 6 mesh tops in Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Petite, and Physique sizing, then 6 mesh skirts that each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. There are 3 colors of the same flowing hairstyle, which initially there was a problem with the bags that contained them so Ivey put a bag for sale for $0L at the fishing area with all 3 colors for those of us who had the wrong contents but they are now correct. We can also catch bikinis in system/BOM layers in 3 colors, 3 pairs of socks in system/BOM layers, and white heels to match anything in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High sizing. Other accessories include a necklace, a sailor hat, lipstick in a system/BOM layer, and even a motorboat to wear and zip around in :) Although the fishing sets are always available to purchase if you prefer not to fish, I enjoy hanging out and am always grateful for Xan's assistance and company while I do so. 

For my first look I started with the Sn@tch Ranya Hair (BLACK) which is one of three colors in this set. There are two sizes for each hair, and the style flows gently to one side with long wisps of bangs. On the left I am wearing the Sn@tch Ahoy Top (WHITE) with the Sn@tch Ahoy Skirt (RED ANCHOR), while both the Top and Skirt on the right are their BLUE STRIPE versions. I love the nautical theme, and you can see that the flirty skirt is even more revealing from that rear view. 

Our Rayna Hair is just as beautiful in BLOOD RED, which also inspired me to slip into the Sn@tch Flirty Bikini Top (Red) with matching Bikini Bottom (Red). The three tops are in one bag and the bottoms in a separate one, so get them both and you'll be able to mix and match to your heart's content. The shoes are the Sn@tch Bambi Heels (WHITE) which also come in separate bags, this time for the left shoes and right shoes. They remind me of those classic Dr. Scholl's I adored as a teen, with the studs on each side and the cork or wooden soles. 

Starting from the top, for this look I added the Sn@tch Ahoy Sailor Hat (Nose Attach) which can be adjusted if needed. It looks great with the set's hairstyle, and the white is an ideal neutral for all of the clothing. I also changed into the Sn@tch Ahoy Top (STARFISH) and matching Skirt in the same variety, then slipped into the Sn@tch Overknee Socks (White). They are a great height for mini skirts, so you still have that flash of thigh. 

The Sn@tch Ahoy Top looks great in RED STRIPE too, and I switched to the PLATINUM shade of the Rayna hair. The skirt is our BLACK variety which has lifesavers and anchors on it, and these thigh high socks are the Sn@tch Sparkle Socks (White). Speaking of anchors, did you notice my new necklace? That would be the Sn@tch Ahoy Necklace and can also be fished up for free :) It is a shiny silver and has a built in resize script so you can get a perfect fit.

My final look of the evening is a side by side of pairing the Flirty Bikini Top (White) with two different bottoms and a brand new lipstick. On the left is the Sn@tch Flirty Bikini Bottom (Blue), while on the right I added the Sn@tch Ahoy Skirt (AQUA). You could easily choose a bikini top/bottom then wear a skirt over it to the beach, then shimmy out of the skirt for sun and swimming :) I adore the Sn@tch Cream Lipstick (RED) which is a deep satiny shade that fits my Genus head beautifully. I expect it will look just as gorgeous on other heads that use the same mapping. So what is your favorite combination of all of these awesome fishing gifts?

I spent most of the day not knowing the correct day of the week, LOL, so it has been an odd sort of day I guess. My wrist is sore (the one I use for my mouse here) and my stomach is upset, so my body is in a cranky mood yet somehow I am still fairly cheerful. I got my contact lenses reordered correctly which is a huge relief and probably contributing to my feeling optimistic. They had the wrong doctor information so couldn't confirm things, but all is well now and a copy of the written script has been texted to them and received. My next challenge will be ordering eyeglasses online for the first time ever ;) I hope you are all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Sn@tch Beach Bonanza Grab Bags

Hiya everyone! Tonight is a part two of last night's post, featuring selections from the newest Sn@tch Fish 4 This set called Beach Bonanza Grab Bags. There are 22 bags to catch with your 7 Seas fishing rod, all of which are transferable so you can trade your spares with a friend to complete your collections even easier. The rod you need is not free, but a wise investment since you can use it anywhere you see the 7 Seas logo and it never expires. You can even find it on the marketplace, where it can be sent as a gift to anyone you wish :) The grab bags hold all sorts of treats for summer, so you can get your seasonal wardrobe updated with bikinis and swimsuits as well as new hairdos, jewelry, coverups, and tattoos. It encourages me to plan trips in SL exploring beaches and lakes, to soak up the natural scenery which I find so soothing. If your home in SL has a pool or hot tub, that will help you put these prizes to good use also. Where will you enjoy them?

My first look starts with the hair, the Platinum version of the Sn@tch Tawny Hair which is the same style as the Red from last night's post. All color include two sizes so you can see which fits you best, and they have the same great layered style with just a hint of beachy waves at the ends. My swimsuit is the Sn@tch Allegra Latex Swimsuit in Red, whose grab bag contains both the system/BOM layers and an Omega applier for plenty of compatibility. The deep red is accentuated with a black ruffle at the sweetheart neckline, and the latex texture provides a bit of sheen. I can easily picture wearing this layered beneath a flowing skirt or dark leggings, and dressing it up or down with your choice of jewelry.

For this look, I chose two different prizes that I really enjoy together. The top is the Sn@tch Lala Crochet Top in Silver, and inside this grab bag you will find sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The open weave is sheer enough that I suggest wearing something underneath (bra, bikini top, pasties) for modesty depending on where you wear this. The playfully asymmetrical skirt is the Sn@tch Angel or Devil Boho Skirt (Calico), which happens to come in the same set of sizes as the top :) I like the way the silvery color of the pattern and tie on the skirt match the top, but as neutrals they will look just as fabulous with whatever you decide to pair them with.

Assembling this look was certainly a treat, as I truly appreciate each individual piece as well as the entire ensemble as a whole. The bikini is called Sn@tch Sofie Bikini in Leopard, with the patterned ruffly top and solid tied bottoms each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Fox, and Werewolf mesh bodies. I also added the Bambi Heels in Black (the White pair was shown yesterday) which are included in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High versions. The body art is the Sn@tch Hirituhi Tattoo prize, a full body piece in system/BOM layers and Omega appliers for Dark, Medium, and Faded. I am wearing the Medium here, and you can see the design adorns my forearms, torso, waist, thighs, calves, and even my hands and feet. A lot of hard work went into this, for sure.

I also got a kick out of this Sn@tch Sun Goddess Tattoos prize, with gold and silver versions in system/BOM layers plus Omega appliers for each. They look like those temporary foil tattoos that are so popular in the summertime, with good reason as swimwear will certainly show them off nicely. Speaking of which, my bikini here is the Sn@tch Dream Glow Bikini in Tropical, found inside another grab bag in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The top and bottom are separate so you can wear them individually if you wish. I also changed into the Sn@tch Tawny Hair in Black, and noticed how flattering it is with the black of the bikini pattern's background. 

For my final look, I kept the Dream Glow Bikini on and experimented with coverings to share. On the left I added the Sn@tch Dream Glow Fishnet Coverup in White, which you saw the Black version of in my prior post. It includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with a flirty open weave and cute tassels on the hemline. For the look on the right, I removed the bikini bottoms and slid into the Sn@tch Nayeli Hip Wrap in Batik. That grab bag holds sizes for Altamura, Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and the geometric texture looks great with the bikini top's print. I suggest trying it over all the various swimwear from this fishing set though, as it is versatile and will look lovely with so many. 

It is almost startling that May is nearly over, and we are ready for a brand new month. I am usually so excited for that prospect in RL and SL, but these days I think SL is safer and more worth looking forward to. There are new events and hunts starting soon, so I am sure to have plenty of treats to share with you in the upcoming days and weeks. I hope you've all had an enjoyable weekend with a fresh new week ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Beach Bonanza at Sn@tch

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am so excited to share the latest Sn@tch Fish 4 This set, their Beach Bonanza Grab Bag set. There are 22 pieces to catch with your 7 Seas fishing rod which is a small investment in a rod that can be used forever, purchase there at Sn@tch or on the marketplace where you can even gift it to someone. As for the 22 grab bags, they are transferable so you can swap your spares with your friends to complete your collection even faster :) As usual, I am grateful to Xan for his help and keeping me company while I fished ♥. These grab bags contain lots of goodies that you will need for the upcoming summer season, like swimsuits, hair in 3 colors, and fun accessories such as coverups and jewelry. There are even a couple of tattoos so your skin can be adorned in style, and all the prizes have both classic and mesh bodies in mind since they are compatible with either. Are you ready to see some of these terrific prizes?

I started with the hair, Sn@tch Tawny Hair in Red. This beach-ready style comes in 2 sizes and is sleek with bouncy ends, and lots of long layers to enhance those soft waves. As you can see in the rear view, it falls just about to the waist for a beautiful look. I am also wearing the lovely Sn@tch Mystique Swimsuit in Champagne, although to my eyes it appears to have a pink tone so I am considering it to be pink champagne :) It is included in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, but I am guessing that a classic avatar could find one to suit their shape among that wide range too. This style definitely shows that one piece swimsuits can be sexy!

Next I carefully shimmied into the Sn@tch Allegra Latex Swimsuit in Violet, a strapless one-piece with delicate ruffle at the top. This grab bag holds both system/BOM layers and an Omega applier, so it is perfect for classic avatars or any mesh body with BOM capability or Omega compatibility. I also selected another gift to share here, the Sn@tch Akasha Jewelry in Gold. The bracelet and matching earrings have bold engraved discs to catch the eye, and are adjustable so you can ensure a great fit.

Maybe you are in the mood for a two piece for your next beach visit, well might I suggest the Sn@tch Spring Break Bikini BOHO? It wears as a single piece (top and bottom are linked) in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. On the right I added the Sn@tch Dream Glow Fishnet Coverup in Black, whose grab bag contains sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. This fun addition to any swimsuit will let its beauty show through the open weave, while adding a nautical touch with the fishnet motif.

We can get versatile with this grab bag treat called Sn@tch Bad MF'er Bikinis (Red, White & Blue) since the tops come in all 3 colors to match the black bottom with its white striping. The prize includes system/BOM layers as well as an Omega applier, so it is easy to wear on most mesh bodies or the classic avatar. The little curves of netting on the bra cups really accentuate our shape, and the bottom is flirty but not completely revealing.

For my final look of the evening, I combined a few grab bag prizes and was very pleased with the results. The top is the Sn@tch Peace Velvet Bikini Top in Seafoam, a fringed string bikini top in a beautiful color. It is included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Fox, and Werewolf mesh body sizing. Then I added the Sn@tch Treasure Cut Off Shorts in Denim, cute distressed shorts with a peekaboo opening in the front beneath the closure. They are made of such a versatile fabric that you can pair them with just about anything, and being a part of this beach bonanza set makes me think of wearing them over a swimsuit of course :) There are two pairs of shoes among the generous prizes, and I chose the Sn@tch Bambi Heels in White to complete this look. They come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High versions, and the slender heels make them suitable for wearing more places than just the beach. There is also a black pair, if you wondered what the other grab bag shoes are, so I hope you catch them too!

The weather decided to stay nice after all, so I got to enjoy my Saturday farmers market visit without getting rained on :) They are considering trying an outdoor market next week with tents in the parking lot, spaced far enough apart that people can still accomplish social distancing, as the county is supposed to ease some restrictions this week. They are using a traffic signal "red, yellow, green" system and we are on red at the moment which is quite limited. Yellow will permit slightly more activities, but hand washing and masks and particularly social distancing are still essential. I realize lots of folks do not want to be told what to do, and dislike the inconvenience of wearing masks, but I genuinely would rather be safe than sorry. I am fine with picking up preordered items, but it will also be nice to get to chat with the people again and possibly pick up a few spontaneous items. Meanwhile I hope that you're all enjoying your weekend so far, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sn@tch is Done Dirt Cheap

Hiya everyone! Tonight I finally had all the pieces to show you the newest Sn@tch Fish 4 This fishing set, Done Dirt Cheap, which is exciting for a few reasons. One, the 23 piece set of clothing and accessories is free to catch with your 7 Seas fishing rod (not free, but purchase it once at Sn@tch or the marketplace for example, and you can use it for all future sets and anywhere you see the 7 Seas logo) and is just a really versatile set to collect. But the most important reason is that it means that the Sn@tch designer, Ivey, is gradually working her way back to being inworld and creating new releases :) This warrior has been fighting health battles since last autumn, so I am excited beyond words to see that she is back! A little about the set...there are 6 mesh tops and 6 pairs of pants, all in standard mesh sizes plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous bodies. There is also a skirt in all those sizes except the Voluptuous. There is a tattoo in system/BOM layer and an Omega applier, a choker with heart shaped lock, fishnets and socks in system/BOM layers plus an Omega applier, boots with a 10 color HUD, and 3 colors of a fun hairstyle in two sizes each. As a quick reminder since it's been several months since my last Sn@tch fishing post, all prizes are transferable so you can swap your spares with your friends to complete the set even faster. It is probably changing fairly soon, so I would hurry!

My first look starts with the hair, Sn@tch Daisy Hair in Black/Blonde. I love the layered curls which really accentuate the ombre! I am wearing a default hairbase from my Genus head's HUD, as the hairline just looked like it needed a little something to fit my shape. I am wearing the Sn@tch Ever Striped Crop Top in Wine, paired with the Sn@tch Velvet Jeans in matching Wine. I even chose the coordinating color from the boots' HUD, the Sn@tch Bella Suede boots which are caught separately and so is that HUD. 

Next I changed into the Teal versions of the Ever Striped Crop Top and the Velvet Jeans. You can see the studs down the sides of the pant legs in this view, great details :) I used the HUD to change the boots to a charcoal shade, just for variety.

This pretty Daisy Hair is the Black/Purple version, which seemed to call for the Purple version of the Velvet Jeans. I also changed to the White variety of the Ever Striped Crop Top, which will look fantastic with any color of pants or even the skirt. Did you notice my other addition? That would be the Sn@tch Slither Tattoo, a red/black/white striped snake whose tail is just above my belly button and whose tongue is darting out to taste my neck. The rest of him is coiled beneath the shirt of course, since he found a warm place to get comfy in my cleavage. 

The slithery body art goes well with the Ever Striped Crop Top in Red, and matching Velvet Jeans in (you guessed it) Red. I also added the Sn@tch Sid Choker in Pewter, which now looks like it is being licked by the snake ;) I also switched to the Daisy Hair in White, a pale silvery tone that will go beautifully with any color outfit you wear.

For my last look of the evening, I am sporting the Ever Striped Crop Top in Green, with the Sn@tch Velvet Skater Skirt in Black. It is just short enough to really show off the Sn@tch Fishnets & Socks, which are two separate system/BOM layers, underwear and sock. It seemed appropriate to change the boots to black, although green would have been a fun choice too :) 

The local news has not been encouraging, but it seems like the numbers of positive tests and related deaths are rising all over the country. All I can really do is try to focus on anything positive that I can, and friendship is the main thing that comes to mind. Tomorrow is my usual visit to my parents' for dinner, then Saturday I am most likely going to pick up food from the farmers market with their new guidelines for safety. In SL there are events to enjoy, and just spending time with Xan there is always heartwarming for me ♥. I hope you're all staying safe and doing well, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
