The Fisherman

Ah… what a beautiful morning for some fishing on the lake. So far, I haven’t caught anything, but I’m not ready to go home yet. Good thing I brought my lunch. Anyway, my fishing gear today consists of these great cargo pants and skullie shirt by Ruca Tease for the Color Explosion Hunt. Care and Love have already shown you a few ladies items from this hunt, but there are also men’s prizes to be found. The hunt runs until May 31st, and all prizes are free. More info on the official blog.

My hat is a MENstuff gift from JfL, bracelet is a group gift from Ronsem, and my earring is a group gift from ::GABRIEL::. These unisex sneakers were just 10L at Duh! and come with both black and white versions in the box. However, if you’re a new resident under 30 days old, you can pick up a free pair at the front desk of the in-world store.

At the rate I’m going, we won’t be having fish for dinner tonight.

A Day NOT at the Beach

I do spend a lot of my time at beach.. but occasionally I want to take a walk on the “wild side.” So I tossed on some clothes that I found at Lapointe &  Bastchild (L&B) and went in search of something scary.  I ended up in this old broken down cathedral that looked as if it had been ripped right out of the pages of a Scooby Doo episode… it was THAT scary!  It’s a good thing I had some nice leather boots on from L&B.. there were nails sticking up everywhere.. some with blood on them.  The boots were in two pieces so you could wear them with out the tops – perfect for wearing with flared bottom pants. The pattern long-sleeved shirt was open to provide a little ventilation in case I broke out in a cold sweat… L&B has a LOT of free stuff for both guys and ladies that are interested in “going gothic.”  I’m just showing you a small part of what is available for FREE.

Intrepid Adventurer?

My intrepid adventuristic (probably not a word) tendencies took over and I started wandering around the dark and creepy place. The music and sounds were creepy… there were visages of nuns (at least they were dressed up as nuns) with whips and contraptions that I’m not sure were designed for the comfort of their user.  As I was taking notes my boot stepped on something that caused a crunch… I looked down and backed up a step to examine the remains of the unfortunate soul who’s finger bone I just crushed…

Can I get you a glass of water?

I looked around and noticed other unfortunates that had experienced the same fate.  I calmly stood.. took a few notes and continued my research as I made my way back to the entrance… I did not bother to take any more pictures of the grisly scenes I observed as I cataloged everything I wrote down as I calmly exited from the grounds.  Perhaps I shall return and seek vindication for those lost souls another day…

Cal’s calm departure

Caution… Step Away From the Turtles

I was wandering around that beach that Love dragged me to for a photo op… and I came across an interesting sign…

Wasn’t sure what to make of that… as I drifted off to sleep dressed comfortably in the great shirt/shorts combo that is still available as the March gift at GizzA!  The group is free to join and they have some really great gifts for both guys and gals. I was awakened by some talk about saving the turtles at the beach.  By the time I had shaken the wool out of my head I had been deputized as a Turtle Protector o.O   Didn’t get a cool badge or anything, but I did chase off a guy bent on making turtle soup out of the poor denizens on the beach.  You don’t have to be a Turtle Protector to grab the great March gift at GizzA. So get your bums over there if you haven’t already!

A Bright Ydea

So there I was.. wandering around aimlessly through shops trying to recover from a day at the beach with Miss Tw… Love, when this Ydea went off in my head… mostly because I was standing in front of the guys May gift for Ydea group members. So I slowed my breathing down and wiped the sweat from my eyes so I could read the sign. It turned out to be a great outfit, featuring shirt, windbreaker, jeans, and sneakers!  The only thing missing is a .. well nothing is missing other than a place to romp around so I found one myself. The outfit is called “StreetBoy,” so naturally I went off-road at the beautiful  HumaNoiD sim to snap a pic of the outfit.  Get on over to Ydea and pick up this great outfit that is FREE for members. Going off-road is at your own risk

An Adorkable Afternoon At The Beach

[15:05] Calgon Foxdale: OMG Love, lay off the twinkies!
[15:06] Love Trill: :O  You did not just say that.
[15:07] Calgon Foxdale:  I DID!  And…  Get your hand off my face, I can’t see!
[15:08] Love Trill: I’m just trying to hang on, you walk about as graceful as an elephant.

I dragged Calgon down to the beach today for a walk, rather he walked and I tagged along on his back.  While it was a perfect day for a walk on the beach, we were on a mission!  We needed to show off some group gifts at Gizza!  Calgon is wearing the men’s gift for April that includes the matching pant & shirt set, and I’m wearing the women’s gift for April.  The gifts don’t stop there at Gizza.  When you join their inworld group (which is free), you gain access to a whole area full of group gifts both for men and women.

[15:13] Calgon Foxdale:  That’s it Miss Twinkies – You are going in!
[15:13] Love Trill: AHHHHHHH!  -.-

The poses used in this post, I picked up at Adorkable this afternoon after reading news that they are closing down their inworld store.  It’s a bit of sad news as I am a big fan of Adorkable poses, but they will still be available on the marketplace and are having a big 50% off or more sale from today until June 9th.

Rispetto’s Got Some Deals… Duh!

Happy Mother’s Day to you, Fab Freebers! Nothing I show you today is free… but it’s good enough to wear to your mom’s and the price is right enough so I wanted to give you a look. I was browsing around Rispetto Designs and noticed a couple of nice items that are selling for very reasonable prices.  I found a great jean and sweater outfit for just 50L that includes three sweater colors (black, rose and grey). The jeans come with prim cuffs that you can adjust for whatever shoes you are wearing.

Lunedi Sweater Outfit

Rispetto also has the Vacanza mesh shirt that also has matching mesh pants that I’m not showing here. The outfit sells for 50L. Rispetto has a lot of other great deals and group gift prizes although I couldn’t find any that were available at the moment. Head on over and take a look around. You might find something that catches your eye and all prices are reasonable.  I also picked up a pair of black sneakers for 10L from Duh! that fit perfectly with the outfit.

Casual Friday at the Cherry Cafe

Thank goodness it’s the weekend! RL work has been kicking my fanny, and I’m so happy to get out in the fresh air. I decided to take my bicycle for a spin and found this cute cafe at Bay City… perfect place to relax with a cup of tea and a good book.

I’m wearing a mesh shorts and shirt combo, which is a group gift at CHANDELLE. Now, there are two different VIP groups at CHANDELLE: a free group and a not free group. This gift is for the free group. The shirt comes in white and black, and the shorts come in black, blue, pink, sea (like a seafoam green), and purple, which I’m wearing. I should tell you that these items aren’t exactly made to fit standard sizing. I normally wear a size XS, but here I’m wearing M. But… they’re free, so give ‘em a try, and see if there’s a size for you. My mesh ankle boots are a group gift from *COCO* (free to join). I decided to add a pair of socks from Maitreya, but the boots themselves do not come with socks.

I am so loving the new applier HUD nails for Slink Avatar Enhanced Hands! My RL nails are super short and unpolished, but I never have to leave my SL home without a perfect mani/pedi. These gorgeous nails are the new group gift from Izzie’s (250L to join). There are 10 different designs in the HUD, and appliers for both fingers and toes. My Analog Dog hair is not free, but is featured until May 12th at Genre for 100L. I ♥ the casual, yet sexy, Princess Leia buns.  Love has shown you this Gold Heart Key necklace before, but I couldn’t resist wearing it myself. It comes in 3 different lengths, and is currently featured as a group gift at Energy Club (free to join). My little Pearl Daisies earrings are one of 3 pairs in a recent group gift from Gossamer Jewellery (I showed a different style here). You’ll find them in the group notices… still there as of tonight, but don’t dawdle, as they won’t be there much longer!
