As I sit here waiting for the nor’easter storm to roll in tonight I can’t help but watch the falling stars. The beautiful cosmic as it unfolds its massive existence before my eyes. I search for my favorite constellation, Cassiopea, in the night sky and feel the warmth of my friend’s hug. A friend long since lost in this mortal world. A friend whose hugs always were warm. A friend who always looked me in the eyes and I knew saw me for me. A friend who would make the corniest jokes to make me laugh. A friend who was a bright shining star in my life for a very short time. A friend like that is someone we all need once in our lives.
IKON’sfree group gift is something that won’t disappoint males and females alike. These freeeyes over at IKON are unisex, so both ladies and gents can fall in love with these new peepers! Their group is free as well making this cost only your time!

IKON doesn’t disappoint with this gift either, the texture on these peepers are to die for! The shadow figure adds to the realism of their eyes, which to be fair is something they are known and well respected for. To be honest with you, when I joined SL IKON was the first pair of eyes I had, and have been in love with them for a long time. It took their free gift to remind me of the joys of the shop.
The treats keep on coming this October and in this post I will be talking about some goodies out right now such as these boots and my hair which are 75L and under deals. After handing out those treats, I will talk about what is perhaps the biggest treat of all this Halloween season- the new FREE mesh head by Logo, which I pair with group gift skin from Wow Skins that nicely matches the head.
The Boots & Hair Details
The boots are a gacha item at 50L per play at the Gacha Life until Oct. 31st. These are from the Batty & Webby boots by Ari-Pari. Make sure you grab the freegifts at the event while you stop by to play the gachas!
The hair and the bloody hair colour hud are two 25L hunt prizes at Spookzilla by EscalateD. Spookzilla runs until October 31st. To see the hunt key for EscalateD’s prizes at this hunt, click here.
A Free Bento Mesh Head by Logo
And now for the feature of my post for today, aFREE mesh head. The amazing head creator Logo has generously set out two free mesh heads, and today I am showing off the female head. Her name is Chelsea and she is gorgeous. You can grab the head for free at the Logo 15th Anniversary event, which runs until November 6th. Simply join the freeLogo Update group, and pay the head vendors 1 L and it will pay the 1 L back.
The head can be used with Bakes on Mesh (BOM) out of the box, but skins and additional makeups are available for sale at the event if you want to buy them. I achieved this look with BOM skins and makeup already in my inventory, so no additional cost needed for me. The skin used is a recent group gift from Wow skins, which costs 199 L to join. The lipstick is an older advent gift from 7 Deadly Skins and the eyes are currently a free SLFO gift from Euphoric. Take a peek in my credits below for more specifics. A lot of BOM skins and makeups should work great with this head.
Chelsea is a gorgeous head and I hope you all enjoy this wonderful gift from the generous creator Logo. When you are done making your look with your new Chelsea head, you can post pics of your new look to the Logo Flickr photo pool and our Fab Free photo pool (if you want to)!
Enjoy these amazing gifts, Fab Free!

I really wish I lived in the country right about now. I would love to get away and just graze the fields and nature during this time when it’s difficult to walk outside in the city where I live. I may not be able to escape the urban jungle in real life, but I can act out my country fantasies here on SL.

This dress would be great for a night on the town or maybe you just want to turn the head of, your special someone, while having a nice relaxing time in. The dress is worth it, I have worn it for a couple days now and absolutely love it.

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
And today is all about making our own little winter wonderland! I think Lewis Carrol would approve, don’t you?!
“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Putting this outfit together was a bit of a puzzle, but it was well worth it! It’s a bit here, a bit there, but it all came together and look! There is Astrid! I started with the major work on the Marketplace Hunt. It’s become popular and is doing a Winter 2015 version this time! If you click the link for the hunt HERE you get a list of stores. You are looking for a silver and gold treasure box on their Marketplace listing.
I needed an outfit for my winter wonderland look, so first up was irrISIStible to the rescue with this amazing coat dress! It includes a hat as well, but I didn’t want to mess up my hair 😉 This highly detailed coat dress comes in all the standard mesh sizes and is a great fit for your wonderland adventures and is just whimsical enough for fantasy roleplay as well!
This lovely skin you see Astrid wearing is the FREEDecember Group gift from LoveMe Skins called Kylie. The group is FREEto join as well! It included six skin tones (Astrid is wearing Sunkiss), cleavage layers, optional skins with brows or no brows, and Omega Mesh Head Appliers for each skin tone. You can pick up body and Slink hand and feet appliers in the store if you wish!
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
The devil is in the details I say! And we must sharpen our weapon of imagination! So I added some great details to round out this fantastical look.
I added a touch of pink lipstick that I found on the marketplace that is a December Promo from LIVIA called Radian Gloss Set1. This lipstick set is currently only 5L and includes system lipsticks plus appliers for Loud Mouth, Omega and Sweetlips, all in 6 lovely shades ranging from the pink Astrid has on, to a rich cocoa color.
Astrid’s sweet baby blue eyes are from * Inkheart* and are called Introvert Eyes – Celestial… another Marketplace Hunt gift item. If you do the hunting and find them, these mesh lovelies will only set you back 2L!
Last, but certainly not least, the Peace on Earth Hunt is still on and I’m still finding wonderful little prizes to fill my wardrobe with. If you look close in my second picture, the lovely little Peace Dove earrings that adorn Astrid’s ears are the POE8 hunt prize FREEfrom Deluxe Body Factory. Just stop by the main store and hunt for the blue globe and those are yours to wear home!

I first fell in love with everything “Gothic” when I was eight years old. My babysitter was a teenage girl of about fifteen and my parents had gone out for “kid free” time, and she was doing her homework and reading Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” to me. After that I was hooked.
And then she let me read over her shoulder, and I read, “For Annie” for the very first time as well. Perhaps “For Annie” is not about Vampires at all… but I thought it was! And even at the tender age of eight, I wanted to be a vampire!
“Thank Heaven! the crisis —
The danger is past,
And the lingering illness
Is over at last —
And the fever called “Living”
Is conquered at last.”
[from “For Annie” by Edgar Allen Poe]
I think that is why the ensemble that I put together this week really appeals to me! [MC] Mystic Canvass is — first, and foremost — a fabulous one-stop-shop if you are looking for quality Roleplay skins that won’t break your pocketbook. Many of them are priced at only 99L$ for a full pack, and that includes a bonus shape as well as Lolas and/or other great appliers. The store also has a terrific variety of affordable cosmetics and mesh accessories that are out-of-this-world unique. And with this gorgeous Skin as their current FREEGroup Gift(Group is 0L to Join!) coming in 4 skin tones with Lolas, Phat Azz, and Slink Appliers? How can a classic Gothic Vampire girl like me go wrong?!
Of course, I did not want to be a glittery vampire! No! No Twilight sparklers here! Growing up, I wanted to know Dracula and Dark Shadows and vampires like Louis de Pointe du Lac. I wanted pale skin, red lips, crimson eyes, blood that ran cold, and a heart that was colder! Because somehow… I thought it was like being a thorned rose — the ultimate thing of danger… power… and beauty. And yes… even as a tender young girl of only eight years old, I knew it.
“My tantalized spirit
Here blandly reposes,
Forgetting, or never
Regretting its roses —
Its old agitations
Of myrtles and roses:”
[from “For Annie” by Edgar Allen Poe]
So I pulled up Market place for a little help in completing my classic Vampire look — one I was sure would make Bram Stoker himself proud!
I didn’t manage to find a proper Edgar Allen Poe raven that suited me, but this amazing fitmesh dress by +Nocturna+ features a detailed owl print that is a stand-out and the dress pack includes both fitmesh as well as standard mesh sizes and can be found on the Marketplace for only 10L. A little more searching and I was able to complete my Gothic beauty with a set of Mage Red eyes by Imperium which were also found on the Marketplace (a steal of a deal for eyes this sharply detailed at only 9L$!) and last but not least I topped it off with an intricately wrought necklace in black by ~Edenia — another great FREEfind on the Marketplace!
