After spending so much time outdoors in the garden, enjoying springtime…I just had to get away to the city and enjoy the lights and nightlife. So I hopped on the Max and headed to the Portland Connection.
While in Portland, I wanted to show off my fancy new poses that were a part of Diesel Work’s April group gift.
Here I am in front of Dusty’s Cafe showing off gift pose number one from Diesel Works. Did you know Portland, Oregon is the City of Roses? It is really a beautiful city.
Even though I enjoyed the cityscape, I could not resist stopping by the Japanese Gardens.
Here I am using Diesel Work’s April gift pose number two in the zen sand garden.
I used the number three pose for hangin’ out on Broadway and checking the street signs. 😉
Poses four and five I am showing you in the waterfront park. Four has the Hawthorne Bridge in the background (above) and five the cityscape (below).
These poses are fresh and fun. Go snag them at Diesel Works!
I have had my eye on the adorable Emma Necklace at Pure Poison which is a free group gift (30L to join) for a couple of weeks now, but had trouble finding just the right ensemble to wear with it until…Valentina E. sent this sharply textured mesh Diagonal Dress in Cocoa through it’s subscribomatic today! If you are not a current subscriber, make sure you are, because Valentina E. sends out lovely gifts from time to time!
I decided to go barefoot today with my rebel mesh feet! What makes them rebels if I may ask? Well everyone has been going with Slink feet since the new avatar enhancement appliers, but my feet aren’t from Slink they’re from [Gos] Boutique. I must say I haven’t really been into mesh add-ons in general because I have never been able to match them to my pale skins, but [Gos] has this great easy skin matching system with hundreds of skin colors in the system to easily match your skin. Ok. Ok. I need to stop going on about my feet and tell you all about my hippie style for the day. I ran into Kawaii Fair again to make sure I hadn’t missed any deals. I ran into the bazaar and noticed Sassy! had put out a 10L outfit which is the top and skirt I am showing you all today. The outfit was just so retro and hippie styled that I ran into the TRUTH hair sale and grabbed this beautiful hippie chic hairdo with the color change headband.
I’m sporting another makeup by the store *Tori-Tastic* again! I know, I know, I should stop, but I just can’t the makeups are just so beautiful! Beauty at a reasonable price? Why should I not blog the makeup?!?!
Okay huns , I have to run. So see you all later.
Peace,Love,And Hugs!

Goldie Is Wearing
Skin: MY UGLYDOROTHY – Dorothy Salmon Pack: (No Longer Available/Closed For Reconstruction)
Hair: TRUTH – Hailey / Light Blonde Pack: (75L Per Color Pack/On Sale)
It’s so good to see you all. I know it has been a couple of days. but yeah, “this” girl needed a well deserved break. (Besides it was my handsome partner’s birthday and I dragged him to the woods…. 😀 I KNOW right.. that outside world… eeps…. but seriously, it is good to escape the pixels for a bit …. Now lets see what I can find… *digs through her endless stream of folders in her inventory*
I found this wearable demo mini-dress by Allusions and really liked the way it moved… soooo I’m sharing it with you all…
It is only L$10 on the marketplace and is such a pretty shade of blue. It’s textured quite nicely.
pants:Sn@tch – Maya Patterned Leggings (I got this off the Lucky Boards at their store and decided to pair them with the dress in the first picture) (FREE)
nails: ::GABRIEL:: Cute Pearl Ring Nail 3color (gg – Free to Join) (you click on the nails and you get the option to change the color and if they are bright on / off) —-UPDATE—–(04/25/13) I accidently linked my HOME instead of Gabriel’s main store and had people showing up and not telling me what was going on LOLOLOLOL…. I fixed the linkie… Now everyone can get those gorgeous nails !!!!!
necklace: +:+WTG+:+ April Group Gift 2013 (unisex) (gg– L$250 to join, but you get a new gift monthly)
I never knew the charm of spring Never met it face to face I never new my heart could sing Never missed a warm embrace
April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom Holiday tables under the trees April in Paris, this is a feeling No one can ever reprise
Ah, April in Paris. The Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the shopping… *le sigh*
This lovely ensemble is the April group gift from Dressed by Lexi. The group is free to join, and you get the sweater, tank, and skirt in both mesh and system layer. My Summer Hat is a free gift from DBL – no group needed. These Classic Pearls are a free gift from Lazuri; I’ve worn them a couple of times before, so I apologize for the repeat, but they’re so versatile. I really love all the color options! My MaryJane Heels are a group join gift from Slink (free to join). I completely forgot about them until a few days ago when Gavin joined the Slink group and received them as a gift, but he thought they’d look better on me, instead! 😉 My clutch purse is from Wanda’s, and is a fabulous deal for only 20L. It is color-change with so many different options that I finally gave up trying to count them all!
Not free alert: I finally made the leap onto the mesh hands bandwagon, and all I can say is, “Wow!” I’ve always hated SL’s avatar hands, and they look hideous in photos. Anyway, I stayed up way past my bedtime last night testing them out because they’re so amazing. One click of [:Tuli:]’s texture HUD and I was ready to go. But… then I needed nails, so I headed over to My Attic to pick up Izzie’s new applier, which works for both fingers and toes. Super easy.
I dunno what you are doing at midnight… Maybe there are cuffs involved, and maybe there isn’t, but I know what you need to be doing before midnight! Head to Sassy! and slap that midnight mania board 🙂 They have freshly stocked the board with a very sexy Mesh Black Leather Corset & Panty Set.
While you are there, have a peek around for more awesome offers like their group gifts, lucky chair prizes (which I will be showing soon!), and hunt prizes!
***Each day, here on the FabFree Blog, we will be featuring one of our Fabulously Free in SL inworld Designers, selecting them from the notices sent to the Fabulously Free in SL group. Photos are work of the designers.
I ran over to the Fantasy Faire 2013 and wanted to post to you all the 2 free female skins and hairs that they are giving away as low lag avatars, they come with painted clothes on the skins, so you are basically walking around in your skin!! *grins* You can pick up these at the any of the Landing Points for the faire, along with a souvenir T-shirt and Landmark pack…. These beautiful skins and hair were created by Plastik. (see for linkie to main store below)
It seemed that ALL of the landmarks were extremely packed at the time and yeah, if I saw, “The sim is full” ONE MORE TIME… I was gonna scream, it wasn’t as bad as Truth’s SALE sim, but yeah, I could only hit a couple of the Landmarks.
This first picture was taken at the Valley of IshNar which is apparently for the Key of Hope Hunt…. Totally looking forward to this, as I am a HUGE fan of Madpea’s hunts…. You can read all about it ->>HERE<<- and it tells you HOW to play…. ->>HERE<<- (goes searching for an outfit that makes her look all heroine like… woot woot!!)
The Valley was VERY empty at the time, and I had zero lag because of it!! 😀 so I was able to take a decent shot!!… *does the snoopy happy dance* (wow, didn’t even need my HUDDLE for that 🙂 )

Outfit: Torvis Gorean Weapons – Lena Claws (skirt, bracelets, necklace, headband, and legband) ( I found this outfit in their 25 Linden Tuesday area, which is right outside their shop) (L$25)
I was able to get into Evensong Woods area at the Faire which is being sponsored by Roawenwood. This area so reminded me of Kelethin which was from my days of playing the MMORPG Everquest (which was dubbed Evercrack by my family because I was so addicted it was crazy) Like Kelethin the buildings rest way high in the trees and you walk on ramps to get from one to another. The landscaping is extremely well done and I felt all elfie and fairy like 🙂
Now my fellow Fabulous ones….
Be aware and be forewarned,
You will spend money at this faire!!!
I ended up getting quite a few things from Roawenwood’s store at the Faire (all of these items benefit the Relay for Life of Second Life so totally for a good cause! That’s my justification and I’m sticking to it /nod nod nod) so I ran home in my Il’Khulthi skin and made a new area at my house!!! With a whimsical skybox, I placed my new finds, some old ones and I added an Intan Dance Ball, and *PRESTO* a great place to dance, and hang out listening to music 🙂
What I’m wearing (avie in the middle) The Outfit:{RoawenWood} Zahrah in Violet [the RFL Exclusive Color] – comes with the Bolero, the Sarouel pants, the Banded top (which has Lolas Tango appliers) Necklaces, Circlet, Armbands, Anklets, Bracelets, Earrings and Belts… (it moves perfectly, and fit me like a glove)
Roawenwood also gave me the opportunity to pull out my little petite avatar and dress her all pretty like with these two fairy outfits…
The Petite Empress in Ice Blue and in Black (Both of these outfits come with tiaras, staves, wings (both scripted and non-scripted), bracelets, and they both come with Tango appliers, which you can barely see on me because I keep mine small!! *laughs*)
The Yuale Nura Wintertide Throne Set is pretty much the bulk of my scene here. (This comes with this stone dragon throne ottoman itself (which has built in animations in the pillows for male/female/couple) , a wrinkled well textured rug and this amazing flowing drapery with the wispy purple flowered covered pillars and the twisted brazier with blue flames…
The Yuale Nura Twisted Roots Lantern has these cute fairy lights that seem to dance around it, plus it gives off light! (go figure huh?) I love the wood texture of it and the very fantasy feel…
Petite Avatar: PETITES +Fallen Gods Inc.+ Elves TAN hair: (right fairy) .::Secrets::. Nummies (Petites) – White Mesh Breasts: Lolas ::: Tango ::: Mesh Breasts Skybox: (iTuTu) Forest Sky Box by KAO Pink Tree:MiChIGaN’s ShAcK! – Pink Petal Tree (pretty sure I got this from a hunt, but it was so cute so didn’t want to crop it out of the picture)
Well, I hope you find lots of things that get your imaginations going and your spirits lifted… *big hugs to all*………………………….till next time……………………………..Care.
