No more yielding than a dream

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumbered here,
While these visions did appear;
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend.
If you pardon, we will mend.

 

It was all a dream upon Midsummer’s Night

The Midsummer Night’s Dream Hunt, that is. First my new gown. I am becoming a huge fan of Ari – Pari. Honestly, when I saw this designer was doing the Hunt I may have actually squeaked with a happy. For just 3L and a little hunting you get the beautiful gown with a HUD for eight colors of fabric and six metals for the belt. It’s just gorgeous.

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus

Cyber

Greetings FabFree.  Much like Juli, I have been sucked into the fervor surrounding the Second Life 17th Birthday. while there are considerably far few items for men, I have found at least one that is a must have for all the RPers. At least the bleak future/cyberpunks.

Future Perfect

This is the ‘Cyber Set’ from Zed for Men and it’s at the SL17B as your free gift. The set includes the vest, two cyber arms ( one left, one right) and a spine attachment. The pieces are all separate so you can wear all or just a piece or two. Any Cyber RP ladies could easily pick this set up simply for the arms and the spine. The set comes in the red I’m wearing as well as blue, cyan, orange, green and black. One note – I accessorized this vest with an applier long sleeved shirt and a visor from my closet, these do not come with the Cyber Set.

Sizes Included

Beachy Bliss

What is it about the beach that sets our minds at ease and calms our restless spirits?  Why do crashing waves and warm sand bring inner peace?  Maybe it has something to do with evolution and strange creatures crawling out of the primordial ooze, or maybe…it’s just pretty.  What do you think?

Summer it Up

Summerfest is going down right now and if you look closely you may just find a few free gifts here and there.  As per usual, Grixdale are offering a free version of their bikini that’s for sale.  I really like the feather-like attachments to this cute swimsuit, which is sized for Maitreya bodies.   To get yours, just take a look at their display and find the free one, easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Pouting Will Get You Everywhere

One of my fave makeup designers, Pout! are offering a free group gift to members of their free to join group!  This pretty pastel eyeshadow comes in 8 different colours and will make your eyes pop!  It comes with appliers for Catwa, Genus, Lelutka, Lelutka Evo as well as BOM.  There are a few other group gifts there too while you’re at it.  Woohoo!

Ahh, beachy bliss

An Exploration of Nature

When I was little, my parents often took me to parks and conservation centres to explore.  I loved walking on little hidden paths through the woods where you could imagine that there were no people about, and that you were the first to discover this place.   I loved the quiet peace of these parks, and trying to block out the noise of the city (even though it’s a bit quieter than usual right now!) is something I’m working on in my mind today.  Where’s your peaceful spot in SL?

Still Staying at Home

I know the days seem to be going on and on, but I hope you’re all out there staying strong and staying safe.  Happily, The Stay at Home Club continues to drop awesome gifts on us every single day!  How cool is that?  I’m showing off two items today that were recently added, and they’ve got me feeling spring-like and cheerful.  Here’s what I’ve got going on:

• FREE top and skirt from Ghee sized for Legacy and Maitreya
• FREE pose by OMY with 3 different poses in the box

No group join required for these cool gifts, and don’t forget to check out the Stay at Home Club’s website for all their newest additions!

Ah, the joys of Spring…

Another day at the beach

I’ve had some people ask me, “Why should I join FabFree? It takes up a group slot and everything. Aren’t you just a blog?”  OOOH no. You see when you join FabFree for free, you can go pick up tons of free gifts! For FREE. And seriously, who doesn’t love free?

Off to the beach

On my quest to show off our fabulous FabFree designers, I saw Alias has this super cute top and shorts combo as their FabFree Group gift! I thought it looked perfect for some casual down-time with the pupper playing on the beach. If pink isn’t your thing, the top has a HUD for ten color/patterns! So put on your Group tag and slap that board. Then you can do some casual beach time too!

I picked this cute little jacket cause – fringe!  Plus, you get the jacket and little crop top as one piece with two colors of top. Santino Design is super good about changing out gifts and offering lots of little freebies. So it’s a group you’re going to love.

Life is a Party

Today, I’m setting aside some time to celebrate life in general.  There are so many beautiful things to enjoy, though sometimes we just feel like hiding a bit.  I’m thankful for sunshine, the seeds that I planted starting to sprout, and good ol’ fashioned baked potatoes.  The SL version of me is content with her balloons and ice cream, and I think that’s absolutely perfect.

Dress it Up

There’s a new group gift over at Rosary!  This cute little dress comes in a long and short version, and an HUD exploding with fun colours.  To get it, just join their group for 350L and then head to their Foxcity location.  There are some other group gifts to pick up, and Rosary is always quite good with their monthly gifts, so it’s a great group to stay in!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya
• Legacy

Celebrate!

Seraphim is currently hosting a “Welcome Back” Event, to celebrate all the members of the SL community who are returning to our beloved game after an absence.  It’s great to see so many residents joining us again!  There are loads of discounted items from your fave designers, and Black Bantam have put out some fun gifts for you to get into the spirit of celebration.  The balloons and ice cream I’ve got in both photos are completely free, all you have to do to get them is join the Seraphim inworld group for free, then click on the box at their booth.  Both gifts come in loads of different colour options, and the ice cream has both a holdable and rezzable version in lots of flavours.   The Welcome Back Event is running until May 6th.

What are you celebrating today?

Stay in With Take Out

I’ve been cooking a lot more than usual lately.  Nothing too taxing – I’m not one of those people who suddenly decided to become a baker of breads.  But, I have been spending what seems to be an inordinate amount of time in the kitchen.  So my dream today is to have some food delivered to me (I could really do that anyway, to be fair) and eat it in a nice quiet spot far away from those demanding for my attention!

Oh Good Gacha!

I know there are two schools of thought on the gacha:  either you love it, or you avoid it like the plague.  There are some gachas that I know I can count on to deliver a wearable outfit on every pull, and Amitomo is consistently one of my favourites.  They never disappoint and I look forward to their offerings at Kustom9 every month.  This month’s outfit is this cute top and jeans combo (sized for Maitreya bodies).  It’s only 69L per pull at Kustom9, and amazingly, the outfit comes with an HUD to change the colour of the jeans.  That’s such a deal!

Just One More…

I usually don’t stray too far from the Amitomo gachas, but I gave Dami’s gacha at Kustom9 a try too, and much to my surprise I got the rare.  It’s this extremely detailed backdrop that’s perfect for taking photos and dreaming of pastel bedrooms.  At only 69L per pull, you never know what you might get!

Best of luck, gacha lovers!

Steam

Hey FabFree. Things are getting a bit steamy here this evening. All thanks to Wicca’s Originals. Let’s dive in before things get a little too steamy…

Unmasked

First up is Gabriel’s gorgeous Steampunk half mask from Wicca’s Originals. This is the Aki Mask and it the completely free gift for the fantastic Stay at Home Club. You can resize it as needed or reposition it to fit perfectly.

My more feminine mask is also from Wicca’s Originasl. This is the Adeline Mask and it’s the Group Gift this month. In the gift, you’ll get four colors – Berry, Copper, Gold and Storm.  The Wicca’s Originals Group does have a one time fee of 99L but with the quality of the gifts, I think it’s worth every penny.

Beer Run

I’m yearning for those long summer nights.  The ones when a party has come to an end and only a few close friends remain.  You notice all the beer is gone when you’re half way done cleaning up.  You volunteer to make the beer run to the small store that’s open late a couple blocks away.

Dressed for the occasion

Dressed in your party shirt and jean shorts, newly cut duo, beer in hand as you walk back.  Enjoying the cool summer breeze and still of the night.  My outfit is a recently added Fabulously Free in SL Group Gift from the wonderful creators of Emerald Man.  The shirt has that bit of dressed up shimmer texture that a man needs when on a night out.  It’s not too much, but just right.  The jean shorts give it that summer casual party feel.  This outfit is prefect for the summer gatherings or parties we’re all longing for right about now.  It’s absolutely free to all Fabulously Free in SL Group members.  All you have to do is join the Free Fabulously Free in SL Group then head on over to Emerald Man. You’ll find the gift on its own stand right next to the lucky chairs in the store.

The Duo

My stylish, wind blown hair is also a freebie.  It comes to you from Exile and is part of the Stay At Home Club’s continued freebie gifts.  It has four different styles and fifteen colours to choose from via the included hair HUD.  It also comes with hairbases for Catwa, LeLutka, Omega, and Bakes on Mesh.  I know by now the beer I’m holding has your mouth watering.  It is also a free Stay at Home Club gift. It’s from Code 8 and has holdable or rezzable versions.  It also gives you and others beers once you allow the Code 8 experience.

I better get this beer back before they come looking for me.  Until next time have a cold one and chill.
