A little bit Pin-up a little bit Punk, I like that! So I recently got this notice that Rock Royalty is closing down and has moved all of their items to the Marketplace at a steep discount. Of course, I checked it out! I’m happy I did because I scored this freaky cute dress for $45 lindens. It’s a shame the store is closing down, but I can’t be sad about cute inexpensive clothing. Speaking of inexpensive, how does free sound? It sounds awesome to me too! To go with my spooky new dress I picked up these dangerously cool heels at Diamante along with these delicate facial piercings for absolutely nothing; I just had to wear my Second Life Frees & Offers tag! I hope you enjoy this punky-pin-up look as much as I enjoyed creating it.
It’s me again!!! How was your Monday? Mine was not over soon enough..LOL! Am I the only one who arrived at work and asked their co-workers “Is is Friday yet?” You know what helps for a clear case of the Monday blues? Freebies!! I have 3 great ones for you, so let’s get right to it.
Truth Hair released 2 new hairs yesterday, and it turns out a new pastel colour pack is being added to the plethora of colour choices we already have with their hair. To celebrate, and only for a limited time, Truth has decided to let everyone give this new colour pack a try with one of the new hair releases, Jinx. This rigged mesh pigtail style, in the new pastel pack only, is absolutely free for everyone. Just head over to the new release area and buy the pastel pack for L$0. It can’t get any easier than that 🙂 I really love the heavy bang on this style, it makes the hair feel a little more adult than a lot of other pigtail styles do.
My other new freebie in this post is the super short, yet super cute group gift skirt from Miss LT, the Microskirt 13. This is a mesh skirt, and the HUD that comes with it has 8 different colours to choose from. As long as you are a group member, you just have to smack the board at the entrance to the shop and it’s all yours, for free 🙂 The group is only L$10 to join, but there are group gifts quite often, so it is well worth the small expense. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, how short is this skirt, well, undies are definitely recommended 🙂 LOL
My 3rd freebie is one some of you long time readers may recognize, as Love has shown this baby twice before, HERE and HERE. For those of you who may not know what I am talking about, it is the adorable pup hanging from my shoulder in his very own pet carrier, from TuTy’s. It has been awhile since Love’s last post with this gift, and I noticed that you can still get this little guy for free, so I couldn’t help but show him off again. I named him Percy 🙂 I got Percy from the Marketplace, but you can also get him in store, no group required.
OK lovelies, I think I feel a lot better about it being Monday, although…it could have something to do with the fact that my Monday is almost over 😛 Friday here we come!!!
Until next time, TTFN, and Percy says bye too.

Guest Blog by Geoffrey Edwardstone – A Summer Trip Around the World, originally blogged [HERE].
The Around the Grid 2 Hunt is now in full swing with a long list of participating merchants. It’s loosely based on the Jules Verne classic Around the World in 80 Days, and so is lasting a total of 80 days, through September 30. This hunt is a little unconventional in that you won’t get the LM to the next store on the hunt when you find a prize; you have to use the LMs on the AGH2 website. The other twist to the ARG hunt is that in addition to a $1L hunt prize, many of the stores also have a $25L Gatcha with hunt-themed gifts in them (the gatcha is optional for the merchants). I won’t be showing you stuff from the Gatchas, but here’s some pictures of some of the fun $1L prizes you can get from the regular part of the hunt.
Not all the shops are adhering strictly to the historical aspect of Around the World … but even those who are giving more modern prizes are sticking with the idea of summer travel. I start out my summer trip in the Skull Pump Ride red and black roadster, the AGH2 prize from NR Designs. It’s a drivable vehicle that comes equipped with some smoke and fire when you hit the accelerator. And, man, can this baby fly!
Unfortunately, as you can see I ran this hot rod off the road, which means I’m going to have to walk until I find a place to get a tow. I’m headed off in my mesh plaid cargo shorts and tee which I got as the AGH2 prize at Beautiful & Dangerous.
Finding it a little chilly up here in the northern mountains I whip out the mesh hoodie and t-shirt I scored from the AGH2 at Short Circuit. It captures the around-the-world theme nicely with the world map on the front of the tee.
But what do you know? Just down the road I come upon a cute little taxi, sitting around just waiting for me to drive it. This Whimsy Taxi is the AGH2 gift from StoraxTree and is also drivable. Since I’ll be back inside a car again, I can take off the hoodie and try out the Outer Banks shorts and tank top that I got as the AGH2 gift from Euphoria Couture. Now if I can just manage to keep this taxi from running off the road …..

Hello Fab Lovies, it’s Monday, and all I can think about is how much I want to be somewhere quiet and tranquil! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and are enjoying this new day. With my thoughts of a peaceful place to spend the day, I put together a look that is simple and casual but still well put together. Did you know that you can pick up past hunt items from MoDanna for a nominal price? I got these great blue jeans for just $35 lindens at the front of the main MoDanna location. The jeans come with appliers for Ghetto Booty, Phat Azz, WowMeh, and Brazilia. While grabbing my new jeans, I also took a minute to hunt down the Cupcakes Anonymous gift at MoDanna. This cute “felt” necklace is the $5L prize. I really love the subtle textures and patterns. As luck would have it, I just so happened to get this cute top by Vivi at the Summer of Curves Gatcha event. The top comes with appliers for Slink Physique, Lolas Tango, and WowMeh. At just $50 lindens per play, this cute little top is a steal! Last but far from least, one of my favorite nail salons, Nail Me! has a fun manicure and pedicure set out as their August group gift. The set comes with appliers for Slink hands and Slink feet. What makes this set so unique, are the fun leopard print tips!
