It’s almost Easter weekend, and Astrid and I just wanted to take the chance to wish all of you Fabulous Readers a Hoppy Easter!
E-Clipse Design wants to wish you a Hoppy Easter too! And they are giving out a fantastic free group gift to celebrate. Stop by the main-store and pick up your Easter gift (I’m not sure how long it will be left out) for both men and women. You’ll get the glasses and the bow-tie pictured above. In the box, there is a size suitable for both male and female avatars, so no one feels left out for the holiday.
Hoppy Easter and I hope Peter Cotton Tail leaves you lots of chocolate eggs!

Would you believe that all those treats at that little Cafe that Love mentioned weren’t free after all? Oh no. They expected a smile in return. A smile. They were selling those sweet goodies for a smile, and I just wasn’t in the giving mood, but I wanted the goods anyway so I took that brownie. That’s how I ended up with a lifetime sentence to this blog… at least the uniform is free.
Just an inmate now.
That’s right. Just an inmate now. Serving my time writing blog posts for FabFree because I wouldn’t give a smile for a brownie. But you can get my orange prison inmate uniform free too. Maybe for some roleplay. Maybe for some fun. Maybe for Halloween (it’s not too early to plan for October, never to early to plan for Halloween, I say). Just head down to the Dufaux main-store, join the group for free, and pick up this group gift. Be sure to make it through the metal detectors.
It comes in the following mesh sizes:
Aesthetic Enzo
Belleza Jake
Signature Gianni
Maybe Love will let me off on good behavior… nah. I bet she gives me hard labor doing something like straightening photographs in the infohub 😉 At least I got a brownie out of the deal.

This warm weather thing must be a trend. I think a few of us have been longing for a break from the cold weather. If you are also into fantasy roleplay (or even if you are not), I’ve found a warm weather outfit that may just suit your fancy. I took a stroll among the flowers with it, but I can see it fitting into a roleplay wardrobe too.
The dress.
The latest group gift from EvelineInTheBox is easily one of my favorite gifts from the creator yet. It is very elaborate with a plunging neckline, shoulder straps, a strap across the chest, and very unique sleeves that sort of remind me of “I dream of Jeanie.” As always, the group is free to join, making the gift free to you.
Sizes it comes in:
Maitreya
Werwolf
Slink – Hourglass & Physique
Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus
Wrap it up.
I paired my new dress with a unique gift from Merlific. These Maitreya specific leg wraps not only fit like a dream, they are sexy too. The group is free to join, making the gift free as well. You’ll get a gift package that contains five colors (black, white, red, blue, and purple). I’m showing off the black in my picture as it matched my outfit. Don’t miss your chance to pick these up!

November is proving to be a month for hunting. I took a look at the number of hunts on the grid, and I’m excited to say that I almost didn’t know where to begin. Between the Menstuff Hunt, The Medieval Fantasy Hunt, the El Dia Los Muertos Hunt, and so many others, this month is proving to be a Hunter’s Dream come true! I finally decided to start out my hunting with El Dia Los Muertos, though, since it is traditionally celebrated at the beginning of November, even if the hunt lasts through to the end of November. There are many wonderful prizes to to be had for your hunting time and 1L for each prize.
I made my initial stop by Roped Passion’s, as the creator has never let me down when it comes to creative attire. And as usual, there is a terrific hunt gift set out, and men have not been forgotten. (Ladies there is a gorgeous dress in the prize for you too, but I decided not to wear it in this post. 😉 )
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Your hunt prize includes the Modern Day of the Dead suit for men in all the standard mesh sizes (it is one piece for easy fitting) as well as its own alpha. You will also get a separate and optional mesh mask. The mask is editable as far as resizing to easily fit to different size heads/faces. I did a bit of tweaking to get it to fit to my face without any trouble.
The suit has a terrific texture on the sleeves and cuffs, but also on the back. In order to show you the design on the back, I’m including the vendor advertisement below so you can see the back of the outfit as well. It’s well worth teleporting to the Roped Passion’s main-store to hunt down this 1L prize!

Are you costume ready? If you’re the type that likes to dress up, then you may want to stop by Purplemoon Creations for the October group gift pictured above. The Sayyida Outfit in white has a definite pirate feel to it and includes the dress, gloves, and trifecta hat for your dressing up pleasure. Of course you can skip the hat if you don’t want the costume ‘feel’.
Included Sizes!
Maitreya – Lara
Slink – Hourglass and Physique
Belleza – Freya, Isis, and Venus
Standard mesh sizes
But That’s Not All!
As Love mentioned in her post [Here] for your 50L group membership, not only do you get the group gift for this month, but you also get access to the current hunt that’s going on. There are 10 mermaids hidden on the sim with lovely prizes such as Love showed in her post. Hurry as time is running out. You only have two more days to snatch up these lovely items!

It’s hard to see much beloved stores close their doors in Second Life… and Nerdy Girl has announced that she will be moving the in-world store to the Marketplace to pursue new adventures after July 12th. In the meantime, as a bit of a farewell gift to all the loyal customers who love nerdology, the in-world store is having a last hoorah and closing sale before it moves to the marketplace… a bonus for all of us loyal shoppers 🙂
Nerdy Girl has put out all the old gifts for one thing, so if you are a group member, stop by and pick up any you missed (the join fee is only 25L if you are not already a member, and with all the goodies, it’s worth joining).
In addition, all store merchandise is priced at 25L or lower, excluding gachas. In salute to the Nerdy ways, Loki and I decided to go as Nerd Heroes. I am not convinced that he got it quite right, but then he thinks I didn’t do it right either… we agreed to disagree, since Rainbow Brite is my favorite, and he said Superman was super.
My rainbow bright costume includes the mesh skirt, applier top and leggings, and the bow (which comes in a left, center, or right fit). For 25L, it’s quite a deal!
Loki’s mesh hoodie in all the standard sizes is quite a find indeed, as there is a texture change hud included. The hud changes the t-shirt and hoodie separately, for lots of nerd fun… hero symbols on the shirt and hoodie all separate for whatever hero you want to be that day. For 25L, there’s a hero in every guy just waiting to come out!

If you are in the mood for some roleplaying this weekend here in Second Life, I may have found your new go-to costume. This is “Queen of Hearts” from MoonliteCat Creations and it’s the 1L prize for the Nightmares and Fairy Tales Hunt. The top, with the attached arm bracers and collar, and the skirt are separate pieces and both come in the standard Mesh sizes – XS-XL. There are three alpha layers included: one for the top, one for the skirt and one for both pieces. I just love it when designers make a multi – piece outfit so darn versatile!
Nunthing to wear yet for Halloween? Or interested in a fabulous roleplay costume and on a tight budget? I have your solution!
My nun habit is by Bombard and was an easy snag from the Marketplace for only 10L. It only comes with a flexy skirt and system layers but the flow and fit of the outfit (and quality of the make) was so impressive I was pleased despite the lack of mesh.
I used slink hands and the lack of my beloved mesh body wasn’t even noticeable with this well made costume (the necklace is included and the outfit comes in several colors and styles, not just the black I’m showing… quite a bargain for only 10L).
+Spellbound+ has put out a beautiful last minute Halloween Group Gift in the form of this hair called Asylum. It comes in a full color pack, and the creator is generously giving out the ‘tears’ face tattoo as well! It is your FREE with your Group Tag which is a mere 100L for the Group Join fee… well worth it I say!
Not only does the hair include a full range of color changes, but let’s not leave out the versatility of the ‘veil/habit’ the hair comes with as well. It has 4 logo options for one… “no logo” the cross (shown above), and upside down cross, or “NILF” if you wish. It too is color change with 7 color choices to match various outfits for you making this a fabulous costume or roleplay hair.
Sim – West Road/ Pendaristraasse – According to the Destination Guide: “According to the Destination Guide: Neufreistadt is a charming medieval Bavarian village located on a cloudy mountaintop.”
I found my Halloween costume! Halloween is creeping closer, and I am super excited! This vampy mesh dress complete with attached wings, and matching mask, is the current group gift at Katak. The gift is FREE and so is the group. Included with this vampish dress are the wings (which are actually part of the dress) and the matching mask. This curvaceous dress comes in a regular fit for standard avatars, a TMP fit, and a Maitreya fit. Also available is a matching costume for the men, making this one half of an awesome couple’s costume.
For the finishing touch to this ghoulish look, I added the dollarbie gift from Indulge Temptation at the Mad Circus Gacha Fair. You’ll find all sorts of loveliness at the festival, including the beauties in the gacha machine for Indulge Temptation, but this blood vial set for just 1 linden was too perfect to pass up! The set includes a pair of earrings, and a matching necklace. I’ve seen a lot of blood vial jewelry in my time in SL, and this one is truly one of my favorites.
Here are the details, Enjoy!

The best way to get a feel for a city is by moonlight. During the hustle of the day, most cities take on a similar hum with the activity of commerce. It is a din that drowns out all else. With the quiet of nightfall, you can feel the beating of each city’s unique heart. New Orleans, steeped in dark magical power, is one of my favorite cities (okay, and maybe it’s round-the-clock partying has something to do with that!).
What better place to be a Voodoo King than the city of New Orleans? Dressed By Lexi has long been a favorite store of some of the women I know. Honestly, I hadn’t been to the store lately so when a friend told me I HAD to check it out, I jumped at the chance to visit. This month, Dressed By Lexi has been putting Halloween costumes on sale for 55L every week! This week, I am wearing the Mesh Voodoo King costume. It consists of two main pieces and a bunch of goodies tossed in to sweeten the deal. The black trousers come in seven sizes and are tattered where the cuffs would be. The Voodoo King Vest comes in five sizes and, while also dark, is rich in color and pattern making it quite fetching. That wide range of sizes does a great job of taking care of any fit issues. The costume doesn’t end there though; it includes some fun goodies too! The Voodoo King Staff and the face paint mask comprise an extremely scary looking pair of accessories. Add to them the necklace, top hat, and sandals (for regular avy feet) and you get a lot for the money! I saved the best detail for last: Dressed By Lexi makes their costumes for couples! So, if you are looking to go out for a romantic date wearing matching Halloween costumes, they have you covered. In fact, they are so thoughtful, the outfits are transfer enabled!
Hurry over to Dressed By Lexi to pick up the Voodoo King today, because the 55L Thursdays Sale items change every week. Of course, that’s actually good news if you collect great costumes like I do. I, for one, have a date to go dancing with my beautiful editor Andi wearing last week’s sale costumes: Tarzan and Jane. I can think of no better way to celebrate the continuing of Fab Free than to celebrate with someone who has tirelessly given her time to make me seem smarter than I really am. Have fun everyone and see you on the grid!—–WHC Riler

The picture was taken at Saint John Parish, La Ville des Morts. A charming little above ground cemetery like they have in New Orleans, It was a fun time exploring Saint John Parish and reliving some real life memories.
