I Got Ya Art Right Here

Free Museum sign_001

Can you read the sign? O.M.G. Art for free? You betcha! Mrs. B., one of our fabulous designers, let me know about The Free Museum. You can see a preview of some of the works in her store, Basilia’s Fine Fashions and grab landmarks to the museum. The brainchild behind the museum(s) is Haiku Quan who had the following to say:

The Free Museum and the Second Free Museum contain works by some of the very best artists in Second Life. And every artwork here is free. You are welcome to take as many as you like. There is nothing for sale, and there are no tip jars. This is simply my way of giving back to you, the people of Second Life who make this such a fascinating world. And to introduce you to the incredible quality of the fine art being created in Second Life.”

As you wander the museums you may recognize some of the artists whose work is available to all for free. There is something for everyone’s taste.

Free Museum Main floor_001

One of my favorites is the Crococar by Cica Ghost. It’s just my style cause every Cajun gal needs one! Alpha Auer is the creator of the group of musicians seen on the right. There are sooo many beautiful pieces to choose from. If you can’t decide just grab all of them!

Free Museum 2nd floor_002

Here are a few samples of what you can find there. It’s fun to visit the museums and soak up some culture. There are 2 museums as noted above. make sure you visit both of them. I was a little disappointed because there was no wine & cheese to be found. Oh well, cest la vie!

TTFN,

Silky Dreams

Foulard dress 2_001

I love learning (well anything but math!). While scrounging around in my recent inventory I came across one of the gifts from the Inov Event. It’s name is Foulard. I was thinking a foulard was something like a faux-pas or maybe something a fool might do. Man, I was way off. It turns out that foulard is a lightweight plain-woven or twilled silk usually decorated with a printed pattern. That’s your fashion lesson for today fabbies!

You Would Be a Fool Not to Love It

I would describe Blonde Queen’s free gift at the Inov event as F-I-N-E! It’s a mini dress with such a gorgeous texture that gives it an elegant look. It does look quite silky. I polished off the look with with a free necklace from Evado (that Aline showed you HERE) along with red heels and lipstick. The Foulard dress gift comes in this texture. I mean, why would you want to change it?  Just join the free Inov group, and click on the gift!

Sizes

  • Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus

Well it’s ttfn folks!

Purple Haze

V8 Subscriber gift april or May_002 (1) edit 2

I’m having a magical Sunday. I have no idea why this is happening. Maybe it’s because I have another couple of gifts to show you from the Mean Girls event. There are a number of great gifts to be found at the sales event. You will have to join the free Mean Girls VIP group to get all of the gifts. There are a few you can pick up without the tag.

When I am Older I Shall Wear Purple

Wait! Older? Noooooo! I’ll wear purple now before I get older. Who wants to get old anyway? I’ve had a taste of it and I want to stop now. Anyhoo, purple is a great color so I’ll indulge my whimsy. The free Golda Sheuvelro Outfit that includes the top, belt, skirt & a pair of heels (not shown here) is the current subscriber gift at V8. Just tap the board to subscribe and the gift will be delivered. Your gift comes in this multi-purples patterned texture giving it a fresh and breezy look.

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya

Da Pose

One of the Mean Girls Group Gifts is this very cool pose from Leroux. It’s great for showing off nails or holdables. So get over to Mean Girls and pick up all the goodies you can find there. (Note: A couple of the gifts are not working properly.)

Spring is Busting Out All Over

tASTIC mEAN gIRLS rEDONE_001

What screams spring more than daisies? Nothing! You can find them in many colors in Second Life. Daisies always bring a smile to my face. (Weird, I know!) Mean Girls isn’t mean at all. Not one bit! Bop over to the event, join the free group and look for all of the gifts and great bargains.

One of the gifts you can pick up at the event is this super cute spring dress by Tastic. The Sherie Floral dress is yours for free at Mean Girls. It’s perfect for these warmer sunny days. The texture hud has 12 different flower textures so I guess that technically makes it a fatpack! Sherie is sized for Legacy/Perky, Kupra, Maitreya/Petite, Freya, Isis, & Hourglass. You need this dress for sure.

Happy Friday people!

Glam is the Word

Fameshed Anniversary GG 2023_002

Now and then I feel like dressing up with a formal flair. Today was a given once I unpacked a few gifts from Fameshed and shopped a couple of Hello Tuesday offerings. This came together so easily and I love this look.

A Little Romance

Putting together a stunning and classy look was easy today. My gown comes from Purple Moon and I am so happy to see this Poulet creating clothing again. The Octavia gown is gorgeous with its’ cut outs on the skirt and beguiling corset. For the Hello Tuesday Sale the gown is offered in this pale gold color. It is sized for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya.

Stylish Adornments

Fameshed Anniversary GG 2023_004

Kunglers always has intricately designed jewelry. Their free gift at the Fameshed Anniversary Round is a set of bracelets for each arm. The Wendy set comes with both a white/silver and a pink/gold version. They are delicate looking and can be used for many occasions. You must join the free Fameshed group to get the gift and have your tag active to access the location.

Kunglers is also participating in the Hello Tuesday Sale. The Sibilla Pearl necklace is on sale for $50L per color (there are five different colors to choose from). It’s such a simple but beautiful necklace you can wear with many outfits.

Now go forth and shop!

Color Me Purple

Masoom Frosted Dress Gift Essential inventory 2_001

Happy Tuesday! My dear little kitty woke me up for food at 6 AM. He can be a bit of a pain but he’s a loveable one. I must confess this post has nothing to do with kitties. That was my first thought when I sat down to write this post. He was meowing quite loudly to go outside.

Looks Like a Purple Day

Several days ago I wrote about a free group gift for the free Essential Inventory group. Today I’m wearing another great group gift called FrostBite by Masoom. I totally love everything about this dress. The details, like all of the buckles on the bolero and dress are well done. And, oh my, the finger sleeves make this dress semi-elegant. The outfit comes in this color only.

Sizes

  • Kupra
  • Maitreya Lara & Petite
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Reborn
  • Juicy
  • Mounds

Completing the Look

Gold Square has a nice selection of group gifts. One of them is the nails I’m wearing. These come with a texture change hud of 12 colors. The Gold Square group now costs $145 to join. If you’d like a varied selection of gifts join this group. You also get access to 21 Lucky Boards as well as a wall of gifts from animation overrides to shapes, clothing, and accessories.

Have fun out there!

It’s a Very Happy Weekend

Happy weekend 60L 4-23-2023_002

Our weather has been so beautiful lately providing sunny days and cool breezes bringing us a chance to breathe in spring. I came down shopping bug earlier today. It all started with a gander at The Happy Weekend sale gallery. I saw way too many things that I need/want. You know what I mean. But in my wanderings I also came across a completely free dress.

Did You Say Free Dress??

I’ve talked about Nilsy in previous posts. Each weekend another gift comes out. You don’t need a group. Once you land in the store walk towards the back behind the staircase and you’ll easily see the  weekend’s free gift. Nilsy is a very generous designer. I’m wearing the Tropic Folk Dress today. I am ready for the tropics as long as air-conditioning is available! The texture, the ruffled sleeves and the flouncy look of the hem all fit together to make it a keeper for sure.

Sizes

  • Altamura
  • Belleza Isis, Freya, Venus
  • Ebody
  • Maitreya
  • SLink Hourglass & Physique
  • TMP

New Choos!

I love new shoes almost as much as I love new hair! The Sphere shoes from Azoury are so cute! The style is a bit abstract but it only makes them more special in my eyes. You can grab a pair yourself for $60L. Shoes come with a version of silver nails and another with gold nails.

Sizes

  •  Maitreya: Lara
  • eBODY: Reborn
  • Kalhene: Erika
  • Legacy: Female
  • Belleza: Gen.x Female

New Hair!

For the Happy Weekend sale Wings set out the ER0115 style. I’ve never really frequented the store so I was quite pleased to see this curly long style. It’s rigged so you don’t even have to comb it out! *giggles*. But seriously your avatar will love it because it won’t raise your avatar rendering complexity by much like older hair used to do.

Well gang, I think I hear my pillow calling, so ttfn!

What a Day for a Daydream

PUNK justus MM Insomnia A_001

Do you ever have those nights where you just can’t sleep? Yeah, that old insomnia is a bear. But I can withstand if I can look this cute when my head hits the pillows. Let me tell you all about it. One day a call to slap a “No Group Needed” Midnight Mania board over at Punk Justus. Being the good Fab Freer that I am I rushed over to slap it. It’s one of the boards where everyone gets the prize if the target is reached. Don’t you just love them?

What I got from that board is this comfy set consisting of a top and panties named Insomnia. It’s a simple outfit that you can use together or separately. And, the fit is perfect on my Maitreya body. It incudes an 8 color/texture change hud. It looks so comfy that I need one to wear in RL too!

Sizes

  • Ebody Reborn
  • Erika Kahlene
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • It also works for Juicy Boobs

Get to slapping folks!
