There are times when a gentleman must take matters into his own hands. No matter your breeding or status, when your airship’s boiler goes out… you pull on a sturdy pair of gloves, secure a tool box and sort things out.
ContraptioN, obviously understands this because this month’s free group gift for the L’Homme readers is all about getting your hands dirty yet remaining a gentleman.
This is the Thibaut waist coat “work” and it’s a generous free gift from ContraptioN. The ‘work’ designation being the soot and grime around the sleeves. Signs of honest work, if you ask me. Equally well used are the leather gloves I’m sporting. These are the ‘Dapper Dandy’s Gloves’ also designated ‘Soot’. Both of these gifts will be available until the next round of L’Homme.
An awakening has occurred in the realm of mortal beings. Ancient heathen gods have found themselves in physical form for the first time since the early days of man.
These amazingly detailed male and female skins and full matching ensembles are a free gift from Fallen Gods. To claim this gift you’ll have to play the Fortune Teller and get a 100% compatibility score between you and another avatar. The gift includes both the male and the female complete looks. There’s no need to join the Fallen Gods group, though it is free to join. The Fortune Teller will be up and working from now through Nov. 7th.
Hey FabFree, we’re halfway through the week already! I swear, with all the fairs and Hunts and events, I’m going a little batty! 😉 Yeah yeah, I know… it was an easy laugh. But when I saw the latest Fabulously Free Group Gift from Mirus Designs… how could I not go batty for it?
The Bat Blouse is so cute! I’m betting it will be my standard outfit for the rest of the season! I just love the deep purple color and… Bats! Plus, it’s all free for the FabFree Group and our group is, of course, free to join! You can just slap that display board and join, easy peasy.

It’s October. During this month, every bump, creak, and thud you hear seems to make your mind race. All those late night horror movies on the TV don’t make it any better. Have you ever had one of those friends that wants to pull you away from the safety of your home to go out and do some real ghost hunting? Whether it be the old creepy haunted house, run down school, or abandoned hospital. I knew two such people, that during the month of October had to visit at least one haunted place. A few years back they actually dragged me along. To none other then an old abandoned hospital. As we walked around, nothing seemed out of the ordinary to me. Sure a few sounds, maybe a moan, a thud in the distance. Then they dared me to go down to the morgue all by myself.
I was younger and never backed down from a dare. Yes, now that sounds rather idiotic and stupid. Totally something out of one of those horror movies we all watch. This time it was for real, for me anyway. I headed down to the morgue, stopping to make sure the bandanna on my hair was tied tight enough, gotta keep that long then unruly hair outta my eyes. That way I wouldn’t mistake it for some type of ghost in the corner of my eye. I pushed my way through the doors and walked into the morgue, which was a bit cold. I pulled up my hood, from my smoke skull hoodie around my neck. I looked around, pieces from the ceiling scattered on the floor, a few of the body drawer doors open, and an old gurney against the back double doors. Then WHAM!!! One of the doors to the body drawers slams closed. Then a squeak, the gurney rolls back. I turn my head and there she is. I defensively put up a hand, leg, and scream. Yes…..yes I screamed. For there was a ghostly apparition of a teenage girl standing not just two feet away from me. There I was living a real life horror movie. To which I ran away from as fast as I could.
Mysterie
It’s a good thing for you though. The Horror Movie Hunt it going on the entire Month of October. The Nightmare Spirit hoodie I’m wearing will cost you only 1L. That is if you can find the bloody knife at the store Mystrie. There are two knives hidden at this store. One for the men an another for the ladies. So guys your Hint is Boo!
Kuni
If you like my great mop look of a hairstyle. You can find it at Kuni in five different colours. Kuni is having a free Pumpkin hunt at their store. Their are a total of 15 pumpkins to be found. Which will give you 3 different hairs. 1 hair named Natsumi for the guys which I’m wearing in the picture. You will find 5 pumpkins with this hair in it. That will give you 5 different colour pallettes. The 2 other hairs are for the ladies and the same goes for them. 5 pumpkins for each hair with 5 different colour pallettes in them. You can also buy a 300L Giftcard at Kuni for 1L and buy yourself a hair or two. Since they are having a sale to launch the re-opening of their new store. As for me I’m sticking to watching horror movies from the safety of my couch from now on.

It’s starting to get cool in the mornings, a sure sign of Autumns arrival. Plus, just about everywhere, pumpkins and ghosts and those enormous bags of candy in the stores. I have to admit I am having a great time finding, and sampling, the bags Juli thinks she’s hidden around the house.
Speaking of finding treats, you will be hunting down a piece of candy for the Boo! Bunny Hunt to get your treat. This is the men’s gift from Ink Blots and it’s just one Linden plus some hunting. The warm jacket and sweater come as one convenient piece making dressing easy and quick. The details are of good quality and move well once it’s on. Something a lot of men’s wear struggles with. The Boo! Bunny Hunt runs until October 31rst so don’t delay.

Why do I always end up waiting? Usually I’m waiting on Juli. This time is no different. She told me… ordered me to hurry up and go find something appropriate for Halloween so of course I did… now I’m just cooling my heels till she gets dressed. I may be here for a while.
Well, Bats
At least I was able to find something “Halloween – y” for the wait. And got it on the cheap. This is the ‘Bat Shirt’ from Dragonmoon Designs. And it was just 1L as part of the Monster Mash Hunt. There are quite a few men’s prizes on this Hunt so don’t miss it.

There has been a lot of talk about “sweater weather” as the season shifts from summer to autumn. This year I think I’ll refer to it as “hoodie season.” At the moment little sounds nicer than a comfy cozy hoodie and a crisp cool autumn afternoon.
Gabriel
My over-sized hoodie by Gabriel is a free gift (no group needed) at Neo Japan. This blue and purple gradient hoodie is unisex. So guys, don’t hesitate to pick this free gift up also! I also very much like the open shoulders, and the giant kangaroo pocket. I think I just might live in this for a while.
Did you peep the cool earrings I have on? They are the latest group gift at e.marie. I love this take on the classic hoop earring. I think these are elegant enough to wear with formal looks, and still subtle enough to be worn casually. The e.marie group is 50L to join. This group gift includes a hud that allows you to pick from several metal choices, and these earrings can be resized.

Under the cloak of darkness, among the wisps and fireflies such a moment exists when love conquers all, even for fearsome Drow. The realm of the Dark Elves has taken over the Twisted Hunt this fall. Will you be able to brave this difficult journey and seek the hunt prizes through decoys and without hints to their location?
The fall Twisted Hunt with the Drow theme will end September 30th, with the End Game lasting through October 17th. Don’t wait to embark on this quest for free Dark Elf inspired gifts and prizes. Blue and I both took on the Twisted Hunt, though I admittedly did not complete the full hunt. Thanks to quite a few of the free Twisted hunt prizes, he and I were able to create these striking Dark Elf characters.
My beautiful green gown and Blue’s matching tunic and pants are free Twisted Hunt gifts at The Dreaming Thicket. These gifts are packaged separately, so you’ll have two prizes to find at this stop.
The free Twisted Hunt Prize at 7 Deadly Skins is this beautiful pale grey dark elf inspired skin. Her name is “Cruel” which is perfect for a drowess. In the box you find system layer/BOM skins with or without brows, and an Omega applier.
Jeanette’s Joint
Blue’s deep grey drow skin is the Twisted Hunt prize at Jeanette’s Joint. It comes in female and male versions. These free skins come in BOM (bakes on mesh) layers only.
Germinal
The tattoos running down Blue’s arms are the free Twisted Hunt prize from Germinal. The tattoo comes in BOM (bakes on mesh) layers. It also has a black version, and a tint-able white version.
Venge
My jeweled head adornment is the Twisted Hunt gift at Venge. It is free like all the Twisted Hunt prizes, and includes a color change hud for the metal parts and the jewel.
Secrets of Gia
Blue’s elven crown is a free Twisted Hunt prize at Secrets of Gia. This one is a unisex gift.
Kumiho
Lastly my silvery face tattoos are the free Twisted Hunt gift at Kumiho. It comes in a single BOM layer only.
It was like a whisper or was it just the wind. The voice I just heard, murmur in my ear. I continued working, finally after a long day, I retired to my bed. Was awoken from such a vivid dream. As my eyes opened the dream faded, all but a feeling, then the voice again. “You will embark on a journey across the grid. To find the pieces you need to become the Druid Wizard I seek.” I shook my head then fell fast asleep. I rose the next morning thinking nothing of my dream the night before. Again the voice whispered in my ear. “To Kitty Creations you must go, quickly you must embark on the journey. For in a fortnight’s time I will need you. Look upon the floor and follow the silver gargoyle tracks. They will lead thy to what it is you seek. A miniature charred looking gargoyle which holds your gift.”
Once I found my gift I went to open it. The voice told me nay, you need to find all the piece before you can open the gifts. Off to Lindy the voice sent me to look upon the The Renaissance Hunt poster for the mini gargoyle that harbored my hint. I traveled the grid scaling mountains, across lakes, over vast sims, large oceans, and treacherous passes. To Simply Shelby, Delightful Creations, and Sweet Revolutions. Finally my journey was nearing it’s end. I had gathered all the pieces to which I was sent to find. I opened them in order from the first found to the last.
I donned the leather red hooded jacket and black pants from Kitty Creations. Pulled on the worn red leather Druda shoes from Lindy. I yielded the crystal wizard staff from Simply Shelby. Before I could open the others I was told to enter the dark woods. Travel through them until I saw the mystic fog. Was to follow it, where I came upon a druid rock circle. There I opened my last to gifts. The Spinning Pentagram from Delightful Creations and the Magical Crystal Of Lunimba from Sweet Revolutions.
They seemed to both spring from the boxes and move magically into place at the center of the stone circle. I was drawn onto the pentagram near the Crystal of Lunimba. I held up the staff and my hand. Before I knew it I was chanting the crystal was glowing and magical sparks filled the air. Swirling around me zodiac rune symbols appeared. Out of thin air a mystical pentagram formed in my hand. I had finally become the Druid Wizard to which the voice sought.
You too can embark on your own journey finding magical items of Witches, Wisewomen, and Wizards. That is the theme of this years The Renaissance Hunt X. The Historical Hunts Ltd. holds three hunts a year. All of them are free just like this one. Why not have a little fun, do something different, and join the hunt. You never know what goods you might find.
Some days even though the air is hot and sticky, you just need to be outside in it. I can’t quite describe what is so calming about listening to the sounds of the world around you and simply existing in the stillness of a late summer afternoon.
Miix Event Gifts
Summer can’t last forever, and neither will the Miix event gifts by Furtacor. The Miix event will end September 20th. Blue is wearing Furtacor’s group gift for the men. His sleeveless shirt comes in several sizes with the skull and guitars graphic shown. My watermelon print bikini is the group gift for the women. You’ll need the event group tag to claim the free gifts (they are packaged together). The Miix event group is free to join.
Blue also picked up his shorts for free at MG Designs. They are a free gift for the Stay at Home Club. These shorts come in the blue wave-like pattern shown, and several mesh sizes. There’s also an alpha layer included in the package. MG Designs has gifts for men and women, but get them quickly. Stay at Home Club officially ends on September 25th. Some gifts may not remain available. No group is needed.
Also, this sweet couples pose Blue and I are in is one of several free group gifts at Belleposes. The Belleposes group is free to join. The group gifts are on the wall near the desk at the landing point. There are multiple couples poses and static female pose gifts.
