Hello Fab Free’rs, this post is going to be a little bit different in that it’s all about the new male head gift at Akeruka, and a new group gift couples pose at WRONG rather than ladies fashion. Thankfully I have this handsome gentleman of mine here to help. The Akeruka head wouldn’t look even half as good on me as it does on him! Keep reading, and I’ll share more about each of these fantastic group gifts.
That face! The Akeruka Clay head is the latest group gift for Akeruka group members. This male head is a full Akeruka Deluxe mesh bento head complete with animations. Also included with this gift is the Akeruka skin in multiple tones with facial hair options, and body appliers for Slink (Omega), Signature (Omega), and Belleza bodies. The Akeruka group has a one time join fee of 150 linden. To get yours you will need to wear your Akeruka group tag, and pay the gift vendor 1 linden. This gift will be available until July 6th. After July 6th, the Clay head will be for sale at the regular price.
The pose Blue so patiently sat in with me while I took this photo is a free group gift at WRONG. There are actually several group gifts at WRONG, and the store group is free to join. I like the potential narrative this pose lends itself to. The pose is named “You Know Everything” which I also liked. It’s true, Blue pretty much knows everything. This free group gift at WRONG includes individual his and hers poses, along with a cool modern chair to pose in. I’ll include a copy of the vendor ad for this pose by WRONG below so you can get the full effect.
Here are the details, happy shopping!

Hey there Fabulouses! Just a heads up (pun intented) on an almost free mesh bento head! I didn’t try it out as I’m not in the Akeruka group so the photo included here is the vendor ad by the store, but for anyone thinking about a mesh head… for 1L + the 150L inworld group join fee, this is a steal. It’s quite pretty too!! ENJOY!!
ETA: Additional info via BethanyJanet (Thanks!) – Cleo is a group gift until June 20, 2019 and then will be available for sale at regular Akeruka price of 4999L.
You guys, I am so so so excited right now! Akeruka is giving away a complete bento mesh head to their group members as an Anniversary gift! Yeah, for real. It’s so pretty, I’m in love. There is a 150L fee to to join the group. But surely I don’t need to tell you how much bento heads cost and how amazing of a deal this is. In addition to the head we’re talking eyes in various colors/styles, body and head appliers in like 10 different tones, an animations HUD, eyebrow color options, makeup options, teeth…I could go on and on. But I won’t because…
Now The Bad News
Don’t worry, it’s not really super bad… It’s just that this offer is a bit time sensitive. The gift will only be available until June 15th. And it probably goes without saying that the sim is a bit hard to get into. See? That’s not so bad. Here’s your landmark to Akeruka – keep it handy and give it a try every now and then. I’m sure you’ll get lucky like I did!

Though nothing, will drive them away

We can be heroes, just for one day

Hello everyone and welcome to my extended Menstuff Hunt coverage! Menstuff is a lL hunt, but many of the stores on it have waived the fee, so it is an especially economical hunt to do. The object to look for is shaped like a blue T-Shirt. Today we will look at a few items from the hunt, and then I want to share something that is very special to me personally.
I love Brocade Tiger! They make clothes that are always unique and eye-catching. In other words, they are perfect for people like me who crave a little attention now and then. For the Menstuff Hunt, Brocade Tiger is offering the Tiger Blue Jeans w/Open Belt for free. Dark blue, they are emblazoned with a tiger theme executed to blend in rather than roar out its presence. The effect is a wonderfully subtle yet very artistic pair of jeans. They come in five sizes for a good fit and are available free for all you hot predators out there.
My hair in the above picture is a fantastic Menstuff Hunt prize from Damselfly. The Hitch Non-Rigged Mesh Hair comes with an easy to use hud to select among twenty different color variations. For only 1L, such a stylish hair with a color change hud included is definitely a bargain. Included in the box is a hairbase in ten colors and a TMP applier. That makes this Damselfly Menstuff prize an extremely good pick-up, an attractive and versatile hair that could easily become one of your favorites.
Native Urban offers this sharp looking pair of sunglasses for free on the Menstuff Hunt! I was tempted to save it for the upcoming free accessories day post, but I love the way they look in this picture. The Gold Aviator Glasses look highly realistic, and are handsome enough to be the “go to” sunglasses in your wardrobe. For Native Urban to offer them up as a free gift, is very generous indeed!
Finally, the Timeless Design‘s Celtic Necklace is a decidedly masculine necklace which can also be yours for free on the Menstuff Hunt. Consisting of a braided cord with four silver beads and a Celtic style silver cross, it is a ruggedly handsome item that will be a solid addition to your Second Life jewelry collection.
David Bowie passed away recently. Having witnessed Bowie evolve through the countless phases and reinventions of himself over the years, it was a little shocking that he actually appears to have been mortal. Then again, many of us have our doubts that he really was. Feeling the loss of him, though, was nothing for me compared to the loss my friend Effie felt at Bowie’s passing. She is a huge David Bowie fan and his death affected her deeply. Because of that, I became inspired by two items currently available at Brocade Tiger: the Flamingo Tux and the Goblin King Outfit in Blue.
Donning a light skin, I made an appropriate shape and went back to Brocade Tiger to see if that incredible Flamingo Tux might still be out from the Femboy Hunt. You might recall, I previously posted about it here. To my knowledge, David Bowie never actually wore anything like it but I can easily imagine him wearing something amazing like this in a video. I am happy to report this garment is still available at Brocade Tiger and only costs 2L! To finish the outfit, I chose Avanti‘s free promo Ziggy Face Tattoo which Pru previously showed off here. It works just as well for men, and for Bowie fans it is a must have item!
The Goblin King in Blue is inspired by Jareth, the Goblin King in the movie “Labyrinth” as played by David Bowie. Offered in dark blue by Brocade Tiger, this free costume totally unleashed my movie nerd side and let it go on a prowl spreading a little Goblin magic across the grid. For lovers of the 80’s, film enthusiasts and David Bowie fans it’s a great pick up!
In closing, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and perhaps it isn’t in the cards to buy something for someone you care about. Money can be hard to come by for some of us. Maybe it is worth considering other options. From making a graphic in a paint program and uploading it into SL for 10L as a Valentine to giving your avy a look that makes them think of someone they admire, they will cherish your thoughtfulness. Of course, spending time with them can be the best gift of all. However you decide to mark the day, enjoy it! See you on the grid!—–WHC Riler

The Winter Trend Fair 2013 has begun and its a winter wonderland of awesomeness with so many designers both new and old, coming together to show their creations! This event runs until the 13th of December!
There are a heap of freebies, dollarbies and low priced goodies to be found in the stores here from the generous designers and here is your guide to what you can find here! Do be sure to take a good look around though as I may have missed one or two.. this place is HUGE and I kept getting lost being distracted by shiny things here and there!
It is worth noting that most stores there use the little pillow shaped gift box that says Gift on it but others use regular vendors, but it should be in a prominant place.
One of the things I purchased there I just had to show you because these boots are INSANE! I fell in love with them and fell even more when I saw a special priced version for L$99.. now I just have to hope I don’t fall OFF them!

Hey Fabulouses! Since it was a cold and snowy Sunday for me, I decided to stay in where it’s nice and warm and challenge myself to find some awesome free(ish) skins for you! Now, many of these skins have been shown here by either myself or the other Fabulous Bloggers, but there are a few surprises, and it may be handy to see them all in one place! In January I did a round up of 40 skins (which you can see here), and I had initially challenged myself to find 50 this time, and then it went up to 75, and in the end I managed to come up with a whopping 85! I am fairly confident that I could have even found 150 if I had more time, but alas it was back to work for me today (Monday), so 85 will have to do! Grab a cup of coffee, it’s gonna be a long ride, and ENJOY!
Now at the risk of making this blog hogging post even longer, I need to mention that there are SO many more places to find free(ish) skins that I either didn’t have time to wait for lucky boards, or there was a group with a join fee that I wasn’t already in. Please do not limit all of the free(ish) skins in SL to this list – they are EVERYWHERE 😉 Some other shops I know that have free skins as either lucky board prizes or group gifts (w/ join fees) are Rockberry, Story Leaf, Liliskins, and La Petite Morte. There are also free skins at FabFree Headquarters and The WomenStuff Lounge!
ps. Juliette, it was a pleasure to meet you at Aeva while I was grabbing a slurl. I am sorry I was in my underwear! (so classy / FAIL!) Isn’t it cute though? This Tina Roses & Black Lacey Panties Set is a free Jewels Isle Hunt gift at Blacklace and my I ❤ U Necklace is a free group gift at Sweet Leonard (80L to join).
This morning I ran over to grab the new group gift dress at “The White Armory“. I found it to be a bit bewitching and figured why not pair it with these new gorgeous Halloween gifts that “Chop Zuey” put out for us yesterday. The skin is the group gift from “AKERUKA” which seemed to fit perfectly with my look… Hope you like!!

dress: -[ The White Armory ]- – **TWA**Group Gift-Shaken not Stirred Gown Set (FREE) (This group is free to join. You can find the gift down the long hall on the sign board at the end of it in the store itself…)

Hey Fab Freebers! Ydea has a new look for the guys. <Whispers> I hear the women’s is out today as well. Ydea has put out a nice summer outfit, “Skipper” which features a red polo and rolled up jeans. If you don’t like getting sand between your toes, you can put on the flip flops that come with the outfit. Perfect for relaxing on a warm summer day and all FREE if you’re an Ydea member, which is free to join. A lot of the previous gifts are still available for members, too if you haven’t picked them up.
I’m also featuring a new Akeruka group gift skin “Ares.” It’s a very nice skin that is suitable for those of you that want a lighter complexion with darker hair. It is a steal at 1L for members, but you have to pay 250L to join… totally worth it!
I tossed on the free Gothkross necklace for guys that you can get from the Aidoru gift vendor at Fab Free HQ on The Wash sim. Check it out!

Care showed you several of the sweet things you can pick up at The Under The Sea Expo (at this link), and I’m here today to show you a few more things! I did the Treasure Hunt and found some fun fishy things to play with for above the water, and below! As Care mentioned, this hunt is a little different than most…
When you arrive at the starting point, which you can find on the TP board at The Under The Sea Expo, you click on the map with the pearl on it. It will then give you a hint to your first location. You will then head back to the TP board and head to that shop. When you arrive at the shop, you are to locate the same treasure hunt paper with the pearl on it, and click it. It will send you a prize, which you will accept, and then check local chat for your next destination. It will take you on a tour through the entire expo and you’ll get a huge haul of free gifts! Each person will be sent on a different path, and sometimes the prizes are different too, so this is a solo hunt.
In the photo at the top, I am lounging upon the Zohee’s Mermaid Designs 3 Lilypad Merseats which is a hunt prize.
Below, MerCal and I are displaying the Fantasea L’Attitude Male & Female Combo Hunt Item that includes the male and female version mermaid sets as well as a working mermaid AO. Aquatics also has a beautiful gift for Undersea landscaping. The lavender Jaelen Patch behind us is the hunt gift I picked up! I found the fun Merguin at Oceania.
Another one of the prizes you could be gifted with in the Treasure Hunt is the Fantasea Log On Set that includes the Log, and sign. It comes with a few single menu driven poses. (Cal and I are not using the poses in the log.)
Fantasea Log In (free / 0L / UTSETH)
Kittycats is where you’ll find my Summer Splash Swimmer Cat. You wear this item, and it swims around you while you move around. How fun is that?! lol The scales on my face are courtesy of Beautiful Freak (also come in a pack of different colours to match your other mermaid tails), which is sharing a spot with House of Rain – the gifter of these Bring on The Dancing Horse Rings that come in both L&R and silver and gold options.Kittycats Summer Splash Swimmer Cat (free / 0L / UTSETH)
House of Rain Bring on The Dancing Horses Rings in Gold & Silver (free / 0L / UTSETH)
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me! It’s Friday GuyDay again, and this time I’m bringing you The Guardian, the April group gift from PeKaS Design Gorean. Everything you see here is included, even the boots and the over-the-eyes hood. Perfect for maintaining anonymity while doing unscrupulous pirate things. 😉
My skin is AKERUKA’s long-awaited new group gift, Caesar. He comes with the facial hair you see here, as well as the dark eye shadows. I’m also wearing the *DURA* Valentine group gift hair, which is still available (along with the Christmas gift hair), and was previously modeled by Kai Trill a few times, as well as guest blogger Kyle Beckett. It has a short ponytail in the back. Be sure to pick up the free pack of hairbases while you’re there.
Now, I’m off to drink some grog and count me booty! ARRRRR!
