... at Sweet Revolutions & Independent Objects. Among the gazebos are a couple of cute dresses.

A Gothic Romance Female Hunt Prize.

Now, Annthrasite is all nice and organized, but Not Lludmila. We'll try to remember which hunt these are from. The mesh dress gifts come with the matching boots. The prizes cost 1L.

And for equal time, the I Hate You hunt prize:
The Hate Tree.

Through a Prism

The hunt haul from Prism.

Regular readers of this blog know that I have the memory of a cat with ADHD. I think I've finally found a brilliant way to keep track of hunt prizes ... at least when they come from Prism, who are kind enough to include the name of the hunt on the box that the prize is in. Each outfit is photographed with the box that has the hunt name on it, so you will know what you're getting before clicking on it. All the hunts were free.

Annthrasite had only dropped in for the new group gift, and saw all the posters outside for the hunts. This often leads to a Nervous Breakdown.

The Frozen Flowers Hunt and Yes I Am A Dancer Hunt prizes contained mesh items (the jeans and the skirt, respectively). They were also my favorites.

The shoes are that same pair of Baby Monkey platform pumps, which were color change and came in about 20 colors. This is really handy when taking photos for the blog. 

This Weekend

This 60 Linden Weekend offering from Sweet Lies  is a gorgeous medieval-y dress with beautiful accessories. The dress is mesh and the sleeve puff embellishments are extra prims. It comes with the belt, necklace, earrings (peer through the hair, they're in there), and the circlet. There is an additional modesty top for those who don't want to show off the tatas.

The Poised new group gift is ever so cute. The group is free to join. The outfit came with Slink platform pumps, but no alpha layer for the pumps. Not sure if you need the Slink feet for that or if it's just an omission. Annthrasite substituted some Baby Monkey platform pumps.

As beautiful as mesh clothing is, there are always little glitches, especially if you're planning on your avatar doing any moving. Mine are out dancing at least twice a week. For the blog I sometimes have to find a pose that shows off the mesh at its best, long hair will cover a multitude of pecadillos, or in some extreme cases a teeny bit of Photoshop is required. Worst case scenario: I throw the outfit away and it doesn't get blogged. The two outfits above had their little problems, but are so gorgeous I had to share them. Perhaps a more standard shaped av (which I refuse to succumb to) wouldn't have those problems. [Is it just my avs or does everyone's av have a right shoulder that's higher than the left??!!]

There is also a cheating workaround where I make an underlayer to cover bits of skin that show that the alpha layer doesn't cover. Fingerless gloves in a matching shade will patch bits of elbow and forearm that stick out. I saved one of my favorite outfits with this. I can't express how disappointed I was that a bit of arm showed, but sticking on a pair of black gloves that only cover from just below the elbow to above saved that top from the ignominy of the trash file.

Do you have any workarounds you use to "save" a favored outfit that falls just slightly short of being perfection?
