Modern Beatnik

We are more than half way through the week Fab Free! To help us through the rest of the week, how about a little retail therapy in the form of some group gifts?! January is coming to an end, (can you believe that?!) and there’s an uber cute January group gift out at Dead Dollz that you won’t want to miss. This beautifully textured mesh tank top is a FREE group gift for all Dead Dollz group members. There is a one time join fee of 200 lindens for the Dead Dollz group, if you’re not already a member. This awesome gift comes with several mesh sizes including specific fits for different mesh bodies like Maitreya. Additionally it includes a color change hud with 6 equally pretty options, just in case black isn’t what you’re looking for.

To go with the top from Dead Dollz, I also picked up a few gifts from Swallow. The most recent FREE group gift at Swallow is this detailed unisex piercing set. The set is in two parts, the bridge piercing and the septum piercing so that each part can also be worn separately. The piercings are also equipped with a re-size script for easy fitting. In addition to the cool piercing, there are several previous group gifts still available at Swallow. One of which is this spiked clutch. I thought it matched up with the piercings perfectly for a sort of modern industrial look. To get both of these FREE gifts and more, simply join the Swallow group and wear your tag. The Swallow group has a one time join fee of 30 lindens which is well worth it considering the high quality gifts that are available.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Wear It, Wear It Again

Hi there Fabulouses! I am stopping by the blog today to tell you all about a fabulous free group gift at Yasum!  Inworld VIPs can pick up the Snuggle Match Coatdress as a free gift after activating their group tags.  The Yasum Hunters group is free to join, and if you make your way around the different departments of the store, you will find all kinds of group gifts to snag!

Getting back to the Snuggle Match Coatdress…  I am wearing it as a jacket and shirt combo because I liked the boho look that shined through when I tossed on a pair of flared jeans, but you can wear this as a dress as it is “just” long enough.  The best part about this gift is that it comes with a texture change hud including 24 different texture choices, so you can wear this – and wear it again without anyone being the wiser!  Well.. except for me, I’ll know…  but I won’t tell!

An early Valentine’s Day

Hey FabFree-ers! I’m going so girly today.

I don’t usually go for the really swirly girly stuff…. but then I saw this gorgeous ball gown from Paris Metro. This is the “Mon Amou” and it is free from Paris Metro’s new Marketplace page.  However, this beautiful gift gown will only be free for a very short time.

The gown comes in system layers and includes appliers for Belleza, Omega and SLink. I think it’d be perfect for some ball room dancing…. now to find a partner to trip the light fantastic!

Menstuff Ahoy!

Ahoy Matees! ARGGH…cough, cough, cough. Okay, That’s about the extent of my pirate role-play. It’s the “Argghs” that kill me. It’s hard to sound sexy when you start coughing and flailing your arms wildly in international amateur sign language for “I am ok, don’t call an ambulance”. That can kind of take the sexy out of things.

Luckily, the clothes can bring the sexy back and that’s what I like most about the outfit I’m wearing from Lo Kajirus Designs. The “Like A Pirate Mesh Slave Outfit” Menstuff Hunt gift comes role-play ready for daring adventurers, club hoppers and cabin boys across the grid. It is a highly unique outfit and consists of Mesh pantaloons, jewelry, Mesh eye-patches, a collar (both scripted and non-scripted) and a colorful belt sash. The pantaloons come in five sizes for a good fit, and the accessories are fun and quite attractive. Overall, the quality of the outfit is impressive and for only 1L, it’s a bargain. It doesn’t matter if your pirate vessel is a schooner or a shopping cart, it’s the clothes that make the man O’war! Aye, prepare to be boarded!

Seven Deadly s{K}ins is offering the Menstuff Hunt Bowie Skin in both taupe and walnut tones with and without hairbases as their free hunt prize. Heavily freckled and with super realistic facial hair, they are considerably handsome skins. I was quite impressed with the quality as well as the fact that 7DS also includes appliers if you are lucky enough to have slink hands and feet. The Bowie skin is definitely an excellent pick up for those of us looking for an quality skin upgrade for free!

As I sailed through the calm seas of the Menstuff Hunt, I encountered this wonderful Jacket and Shirt Combo from FE Style. The Wekleh Jacket w/T-Shirt is a one piece mesh evocative of maritime clothes in an entirely different way. The simple, understated styling gives a classic masculine look for any male avi. Offered in four sizes, one of which is Fitmesh, a fine fit without any fuss will be easy to accomplish. Perfect for the dock or the deck, this 1L hunt prize is certainly a first-class item to grab.

The Menstuff Hunt is a 1L hunt but only 31 stores elected to charge for their gifts. The hunt object you are looking for is a blue T-Shirt and can be small, so follow any hints that have been posted on the Menstuff Hunt page. You will not find a better run Men’s hunt on Second Life. So ends this chapter in my Menstuff voyage for now, take care everyone and a quick reminder that Valentine’s Day approaches. Enjoy SL and I will see you on the grid!—–WHC Riler
