Hi gang! I have a lil quickie for you today. I always check for sales on various sites. I got inspired by these beautiful silks on sale for $25L Tuesday. Silks are tres cool to dance in because all the scarves swirl and flutter. I’m not into the role play areas but I was able to find a spectacular Egyptian sim, the Temple of Nefertari. How much more Egyptian can you get than that? I do recommend a visit to this highly detailed sim. I felt like I should have seen archeologists and their minions carefully uncovering layers of ancient artifacts.
I picked up the Soraya silks at Kitty Creations. When you enter the store take the stairs up to the second floor for all of the current sales, Soraya comes in eight different colors but my eyes locked onto this dark green. After wearing everything mesh for a long time it was an interesting task to add all of the flexi scarves! Without them it’s just not as much fun to wear. Soraya is sized for Maitreya and SLink Hourglass and Physique. All of the scarves must be added individually. A necklace, upper arm bracelets, and a veil are included in the pack.
Note: I’m not sure how long the sale items stay up so if you desire these silks check it out soon; as in before midnight!
While out wandering with my sheepies today we came across this serene little chapel in the woods. That old hymn, “Bringing in the Sheaves” popped into my twisted little brain and I started singing “bringing in the sheep.” My Ickci sheep can be testy at times and sometimes just plain baaaaahhhhdddd. See the one on my left jumping in the air – I can’t take them anywhere! I’ve been trying to herd them into to chapel for a dose of redemption. Wish me luck!
Get Cute for Under $75L
One of my many subscriber groups is the Fifty5 Thursday sales. I get a notecard with pics & store landmarks. You can subscribe by clicking on one of the subscriber boards you’ll likely find by the sale items. Emerald Couture had this really cute outfit listed. I picked up this lil number, Allie, for only $55L. This ensemble is too cute! You get the top, skirt, and shoes. The sale version comes in the colors/patterns shown,

After I made my purchase I spied a whole bunch of group gifts, mania boards, and lucky boards & chairs. I did what any self respecting blogger would do. I joined the free Emerald Couture group and scooped up most of the gifts. Hear me now: this is a great group to join. The lucky boards & chairs quickly turn over in a very short time. All said & done I managed to leave with 23 different packages, SCORE! I find the clothing selections varied and versatile. And the zero $L join fee is a huge plus.

It’s sad to say goodbye to someone has influenced so many of us in Second Life. Also known as Dove, Palomma Casanova, owner & driving force of The Free Dove has passed way. Our dove will now soar high absent from pain or illness. Rest in blissful peace dear. Know that you will be missed.
In her own words(copied from her profile):
“Paloma means Dove in Spanish….
Dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit
Dove is the symbol of peace
Dove is the symbol of giving & helping.”
You will find several posts about The Free Dove and Palomma on our blog as we pay tribute to her. See Aline’s posts here and here as well as Allison’s post here. I picked up this lovely gown at The Free Dove yesterday. Over the years I’ve picked up many, many items from the place. I couldn’t even calculate how much money I’d have spent on clothing and other items if I hadn’t gotten all of it from The Free Dove. You will need to join the free group to pick up any of the items.

My free Camilla gown by Black Angel Store comes with a texture change hud with five textures/colors each for the top, skirt, & straps. You do have to join the It is sized for:

Heaux, Heaux ,Heaux as we say in Cajun country. The weather today is chilly but in a day or so it will get really cold. Like 23 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s 0 Celsius for you folk north of the border)! Glad I was able to wear this saucy little number at least once. I, as most of you, have been busily hitting the advent calendars around the grid.
Baboom is Back!
I was ecstatic to hear that Baboom has an advent calendar out. I hadn’t seen anything from the store in quite some time. On day 9 I picked up this cute plaid outfit named Carina. You can still grab all of the previous days’ gifts for freeat Baboom. Don’t you love when designers add those extra touches that makes a creation unique? This outfit has lots of them. It’s like having bells & whistles. Carina is sized only for the Maitreya body.
Be Merry!

I am mostly an armchair traveler. However I’ve been mostly absent from the grid for the past several weeks because I took a long overdue vacation with friends in California’s Central Valley. We traveled just about every day. If you ever wondered where a great deal of our produce and nuts are grown you can find it in the fertile soil of the valley.
I felt like an intrepid explorer while exploring the Lost Coast. It has been on my bucket list for years now. There exists only one road with many, many potholes and bumps that provides you with stunning vistas of the coast line with its’ offshore rocks and huge breaking waves. When the Pacific Coast Highway was being built the King’s Mountain Range could not be tamed forcing the highway inland. hence the moniker “The Lost Coast”.
Sparkle Brightly
Don’t know about you but I am loving all the great gifts around the grid I picked up at shopping events, advent calendars, and hunts. Today I’m sparkling like a fine champagne in my festive Sweety dress from Le’ La. It is tastefully decorated with several Christmas textures. A Santa Hat is included. You can pick it up for $1L at the store for The Fashion Loft Treats and Sweets 2022 Holiday Event. It’s a shopping event combined with gifts. Pick up the event HUD at TFL Headquarters.

Belleza Freya

EEKKK Christmas Hair
This fab hairstyle from Ali & Allie was $99 for The Fashion Loft Treats and Sweets 2022 Holiday Event. Can you say Festive?? The Jupiter updo comes with peppermint canes and red garland!! It’s absolutely perfect so I HAD to get it! I completed my look with boots and glasses from the Christmas Barbie Outfit by Darkness. You can find it in the Darkness MP store for $1L.
Now you can hit all those places with gifts and get yourself looking festive.
Feeling up to spookiness yet? You should because Halloween is knocking at the door. I’m not going to show you a costume today (yet). Instead I’m bringing you news from Telsiope Couture. As I have said in previous posts about this store is that I LOVE it. So let’s get talking about what you can find there.
Sexy Mama
I am feeling so sexy in this body-hugging provocative dress that fits like a sheer glove. It just makes you feel like you’re sending clouds of pheromones out into the world. Ooh-la-la! Yes, it’s sheer but have no fear, strategically placed solid swathes cover your bits. Included in the package is a texture change HUD with 20 options to choose from making the dress versatile. It’s like getting a fat pack without all the extra pieces.
Sizes included are Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink. When you tp into the shop go up the stairs to the third floor. Alessia is currently the gift in the Midnight Madness board – give it a slap. There is also a Scratch & Win board and a host of gifts for other groups like Fabfree. The prices are very reasonable so get shopping.
My second look from Telsiope Couture is the Amber Halloween Dress & Boots. It’s a dress that is not strictly for Halloween so you can wear it anytime. The included texture change HUD gives you three options in four colors. Your color choices are purple/lavender, black, red, and green. The texture choices are plain colors, small symbols (this is what I’m wearing) and last, one with large pentacles. You can really do a lot with the HUD. Amber is also sized for Belleza, Maitreya, & SLink. The boots are included in this black color. I got this for $50L. I always feel like I’m getting a nice bargain from Telsiope Couture.
Hair Today & Maybe More Tomorrow?
I have tons of hair but I cant resist buying new styles when they are on sale. I was beyond excited when I saw that No_Match had an offer out for the Happy Weekend Sale. I zoomed to the store and grabbed the No_Confusion red pack for only $60L. It’s really cute and you can change the color of the bow headband. There are many great hair designers around the grid but No_Match has remained my favorite for years.
One last note – I could not remember or find the pose used in picture #1. If anyone would like to apply to be my inventory organizer please send your resume to my Zanzibar.

#2 Olivia Golden Gift Pack 14 (Free group gift/No Join fee)
It was one of those Escape Rooms where you get locked in with people you don’t know and have to work together to escape. Seems that none of us who were booked for last night got the memo about leaving knives at home. As the evening turned to night it got very dark. And oops, no one told us to bring flashlights.
In all that inky blackness things got a wee bit out of hand. Although I may be torn up a bit I’m fine. From the looks of it our team won! We all celebrated with a round of Bloody Marys!
A Spooky Take on a Classic
I like graphic clothing with witty sayings or artwork It’s a way of expressing yourself. A longtime SL fashion designer, Simone Udimo, is the creator/owner of Java Fashion Design. I’ve been a subscriber at her store for years. She regularly offers freegifts for everyone and always has low prices. My dress today is one of several totally freegifts at the store. Upon entering look for 2 pumpkins in the lobby. They’re really easy to spot.
I’m wearing the Prissy Perks Midi dress that has been set out as a Halloween gift at Java Fashion Design. I think it’s hysterical with all of the wounds and the saying, “I’m fine”. As you can see it’s trimmed with a drippy, bloody border. It’s sized for Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Legacy, Maitreya, & SLink Hourglass.
My heels are a free gift from [QE] at Shop & Hop. The Akila heels are definitely keepers. The styling is perfect and of course there is a color/texture change hud with a choice of 15 colors. The heels fit Belleza, Maitreya, and SLink. There are only a few days to visit Shop & Hop; it ends on November 1st.
As I mentioned in a previous post Booty’s Beauty has new makeup on the MM boards every day. The La Luna eyeshadow comes in BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX. The awesome tattoo below my right eye was on sale at One 2K for $25L Tuesday. It looks like I have a stash of extra eyeballs inside my cheek! Unfortunately it has been set back to regular price. (Sorry about that readers).
Lastly I am wearing a set of Bento Square nails by Fatal Fashion you can pick up for free at Swank (the group is freeto join). They fit SLink, Maitreya, Belleza Kupra, Legacy, & Tonic.
If you aren’t ready for Halloween it is time to get it together!! Now – run!

Here’s to another Fabulous weekend! I recently moved into a Linden Home but I needed a skybox for unpacking & posing for pictures. I found a pretty amazing one hiding in my inventory. I love the view from the window, the curving staircase, and rose petals scattered on the floor. I’ve had the the Harbour View Skybox for a while but wanted to include it in my post because it’s so pretty.
More GIFTS!! YAY!
Today I bring you a few free gifts From Swank, Trick or Treat Lane, a couple of group gifts, and the Reborn event I used to put this look together. My gorgeous dress is a creation from a new-to-me store, La Feminque. The Hilda dress is awesome with all of the details and the pretty little sheer overskirt. It’s a sweet dress you can wear anytime you want to feel sparkly. And the best part is that it’sfree. You can pick it up at Swank after joining the freegroup. It is sized for: Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus; Legacy; Maitreya; and SLink Hourglass & Physique.
My boots are a free gift from Trick or Treat Lane. The Fishnet boots are courtesy of Byrne. They’re a below the knee length you can wear with just about anything. The package includes sizes for Maitreya & Legacy in black, red, and purple.
All the Stuff Above My Shoulders
Here’s a closeup so you can see the makeup, tattoo, and necklace – all of which are free. I am wearing the [Onyx] moon spell tattoo on my forehead. I got this one from the Reborn event, no group join required to get this gift, just buy for 0L.
My eye makeup and lipstick are courtesy of Booty’s Beauty – the La Luna Eyeshadow and the Nice and Spicy Lips. Booty’s Beauty has 2 groups: a freegroup under the name Booty’s Beauty with updates and gifts and the Booty’s Chairleaders group with a $100L join fee that gives you exclusive Prize Chair and Midnight Madness prizes, as well as group only gifts. Either way you’ll be rolling in makeup if you slap the daily Mania boards and check the lucky chairs.
All in all I’m pleased with all of the great gifts and bargains I found. Get out there and overstuff your inventories!

October is here and it’s time to get our spookiness on. Time to break out those Halloween outfits and have more fun. The madness is just starting so get yourself ready. I’ve got news about a few goodies from Bundles and the Mid-season Mystery Fair & Hunt. When I worked as a venue hostess I would start wearing Halloween costumes on October 1st because I love dressing up. Of course the same was true for other holidays also.
Not so spooky looking
After reading a post about Bundles by Aline here, I realized I’d never been to Bundles. Face Palms & screams ZOMG! There are a number of freegifts available and you don’t have to join a group to pick them up. Bundles will be running until October 16th so put the event on your list of places to gather more “stuff”. I know you’ll find something you like or just have to have.
My cute little cat cropped tee is too adorable for words. I love his spidey web whiskers. It’s a gift from Grumble for Bundles and it comes exclusively in this blue. It’s fitted for these sizes: Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus; Maitreya; and SLink Hourglass & Physique.
I paired the tee with a skirt from Cleo Design. The skirt is part of the Witch 2022 outfit that is still on sale for $25L at the main store. Sizes included are: Belleza Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and SLink Hourglass. In addition to the top and skirt a witch hat & magic pumpkin are included.
Last but certainly not least is the spider laying over my belly button. I swear I have better hygiene in real life! I found this goodie on the Mid-season Mystery Fair & Hunt at the [Lion Style] booth. The Spider Belly Button Pack comes with an unrigged version and rigged versions for: Belleza Freya & Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, & SLink Hourglass & Physique.
Toodles – I have to go scratch my belly button now.

Cre.
