The FabFree Mesh Body and Head Listing is Live!

Miss Caroline Walker came to me a few days ago with a great idea:  to have a page that lists which mesh heads and bodies are currently available on the grid for free or as group gifts!  We get asked this question pretty often, and with designers being so generous these days, it’s nice to have a resource that will guide you.   This is a working document, with updates expected as we progress!  If you have any tips, please contact Caroline Walker (rawumber) inworld.

Even more importantly, if you want to thank her for her hard work – please be sure to do so.

THE FABFREE MESH BODY AND HEAD LISTING

Thanks Caroline – Fantastic work!

The FabFree Advent Listing is Coming!

Heya FabFree!

It’s *almost* the most wonderful time of the year!  One of the best traditions we have here on the blog, and in SL, is the unveiling of Advent Calendars across the grid during the month of December.  We aim to bring you the most complete coverage of these awesome events every year, and this year is no exception.  Work has already begun on the massive list, with many designers confirming that they will indeed have a calendar in their shop.

FabFree is a vibrant community, and we look to our readers, designers and group members for inspiration, help and tips at all times.  To that end, if you are a designer, or know of a designer that is planning an Advent Calendar this year, please let us know!  Please send Aline Passiflora a notecard inworld if you have a tip, and she will happily send designers a 3 second form to fill out for free coverage of your event.

We can’t wait to unveil it all on December 1st!

Introducing our New Blogger – Viol Rechter!

Hey FabFree!

The hunt for a new blogger has concluded, and we are happy to add Ms. Viol Rechter to our team!  Viol is an avid freebie hunter, and is excited to give back to the community through blogging.  After a departure from Second Life, she returned (as many have!) and found that avatars have come a long way!  She credits FabFree and the FabFree community with getting her avatar in tip-top shape.

We’re so excited to have you as part of the team, Viol!

Now show us what ya got!
