Magic of Oz always brings you really well thought out events to enjoy every few months. The vendors always bring on quality items for you to enjoy at these times. The events themselves are always done in such a memorable way, it's hard not to wish for something to go on more often!
This event had a wee bit of a setback, but it's jumping with action now! I'll split the gifts into 2 posts so that I don't blow up Free*style.
This Otter avatar that rides in a floating balloon is one of the many gifts you'll receive in your adventure. It was made by Risusipo Jun, a very talented and creative designer.
Here's what you need to know to participate:
Scattered throughout the sim are podiums with books on them. Click the book and you will be asked a trivia question. If you answer correctly, you will be given a balloon. Wear the balloon and it will tell you what shop to visit. Go into the shop and look for a birthday cupcake. When you are within 2m of the cupcake, click your balloon and you will receive a special Birthday gift from the Wizard! There are 15 podiums in all. REMEMBER! These questions are based on the Oz ~books~, not the movie. ;D
More events will be held all week long, join the Magic of Oz update group to keep informed - just touch one of the signs around the sim!
The vendors were asked to make items that had something to do with the books, written by L.Frank Baum. hyasynth Tiramisu made this lovely scrappy outfit, based off the character, Patchwork Girl or Scraps for short, who appeared in several of the novelist's series. I paired this with one of a set of skins you'll also find in the hunt. The skins were based off the 4 Wicked Witches from the novels.
Each witch had a themed colour in the novels, or had coloured skins.
While your down in oz, take some pictures on the many poseballs hidden throughout the sim, they have been made with loving care by Dove Swanson of [LAP].
Yes you guess it, Wicked Witch of the West!
I had my one buddy Ladylight Koolhoven model some of the gifts as she was flitting about the sim. Her you see her in Bridge Aya's take on the Dorothy dress.
These stockings and shoes come from lolly Carlberg's imagination. Though maybe not accurate to the novels, these will make all the movie lovers cry out in joy! The details on the top of the stockings really show you a sense of craftsmanship lolly brings to her items.
Ladylight was kind enough to throw on the hair that MissAllSunday Lemon made for the event. It resizes by touch, which is good, cause Ladylight has a big ass head =) *Winks*
Rouge Darcy made a backpack to match the hair, got to love collabs. Everything all matchy matchy! The textures on these are all fab. We always know this duo will bring you something to enjoy for a long item to come. Wonder what sort of thing a tinman backpack carries?
And lastly for part 1, here you will see the lovely gift of part sim owner, Candy Cerveau. This lady has alot going on, and still she made an exquisite piece for you all to enjoy! I really love the direction her works have turned to. As one that isn't satisfied with most sl jewelry, I'm starting more and more to love her work. There is a more organic look that is leaking into her items. She also just renovated the store a bit, so take a look while you are clicking you cuppycake!
Just a friendly reminder . . . These designers and the sim owners, take alot of time to help hold these kinds of events. Magic of Oz has always felt like a very loving community for me. They want you to feel at home, explore and have an enjoyable shopping and fishing experience.
Show them a little love, say thanks. It honestly does go a long way. Designers really don't hear it enough.
So get going why don't you
The road to Oz awaits
