One of my favorite SL activities is shopping! It has been for a very long time. I love sales and events that lead me to shops I’ve never before visited. One of my latest discoveries was Fatal Fashion. I popped over a couple of weeks ago to pick up a weekend sale item. I saw the group gift wall there and thought the gifts looked pretty nice. The latest group gift loudly called my name. The $0L group join fee sealed the deal for me!
Black can be so Seductive
Dressing in black can be for mourning but personally I prefer it as a prelude to a dramatic look. (p.s. I prefer brighter colors for mourning). The latest group gift from Fatal Fashion(Free/Group is free to join)is this sexy top and skirt along with the boots and 2 bracelets in black and gold. It’s a curve hugging fit with nice detailing in lace & cut outs on the top. As you can see in the picture the boots are open toe & laced up the front. You will be noticed in this outfit so be prepared to maybe get a few IMs from guys!

So sometimes you just want to feel like a Goddess. Like you just came down to the ruins of the ancient world and have to power to make it all beautiful again. Sometimes you simply find a dress that makes you *feel* like a goddess. And sometimes, just sometimes…. that dress is free. And you do a mad happy dance cause now you feel like a freaking goddess and it didn’t even cost you anything! And then you start a lot of sentences with “and” even though you know you aren’t really supposed to but you feel like such a rebel and you really don’t care cause you are too busy happy dancing…. and then you think you need to come up for air, stop babbling like a lunatic (its a hobby) and tell everyone else how they too can feel like said goddess, for freaking free!
This is one of those times.
Kamiri has this gorgeous dress available as a free Third Life Group Gift. This group is free to join making this gift totally free! (can’t say that happy word enough!) In fact, they have an entire area upstairs with free gifts! Well worth the trip to the shop. This dress fits:

There’s only two days left of Fantasy Faire, and I poked around the various regions of the event to look for gifts. There are some out, but they are a bit tricky to find. One I found was this free animated golden flower, which I thought was gorgeous. The item is made by Gabriel, and it includes the hand pose and light orbs that float above it. You will find it for free near the landing of the Tenpayo region here. It all ends on May 18th, so go soon!
Queen Natalia
Now it’s time for the feature of my post today, which is this beautiful “Natalia” skin for Lelutka EvoX heads. This is a free gift from ItGirls. I am wearing the skin in “Rose”, but it comes in a fatpack of other dark and light natural shades. Each shade also includes the lovely dark eyebrows.
For this particular EvoX skin, you will need to own a Lelutka Evolution head. All previous Lelutka Evolution heads have been updated to EvoX, so be sure to click the update button in your head folder if you haven’t had the time or interest in updating yet. EvoX is a bit of a learning curve, but I recommend it because the skins are fabulous! Once you have your EvoX head, just click the “EvoX” button on the HUD to put your head in EvoX mode, which allows you to use more detailed skin and makeup options.
Once this is all done, you will notice that with the free skin from ItGirls, that the ears and face skins are separated. You need to wear a separate tattoo for the ears. So you then need to find the matching ear skin to go with the face skin. All of the face skins and ear skins are included in the free gift from ItGirls. You can also get a pack of free EvoX ear skins, which is available for all to get on the front desk at ItGirls.
I’m sure some of you have noticed that nasty neckline that can pop up when you wear an EvoX head skin that doesn’t include a body skin. Not to fear, for Velour is here. Velour has a package of free ear skins and neck fixes for EvoX heads. To get the package, look on the front desk to get the pack for free. No group join is needed. The neck fixes work perfectly to blend the ItGirls skin with another body skin. I am currently wearing a body skin from a different creator entirely, one of 7 Deadly S[K]ins‘ BOM skins in the Caramel tone, and it blends so smoothly! These neck fixes should work with any companies that use Velour tones in their head skins and you should have few problems wearing the head skins with a different body skin.
Well, that wasn’t complicated at all! 😉 If you have any questions about EvoX skins feel free to post your queries in the comments.

Back again with a very sweet Fab Free group gift from one of my favorites Zoom! I’ve been setting up a space station for my newest home (isn’t it fun how you can change houses in second life??) and took a break for some shopping and that’s when I saw this. I love the artsy-ish short with the simple skirt, it just strikes a lovely balance, don’t you think? It comes with a HUD allowing you to choose from four matching colors (for top and skirt) and it fits:
Freya
Legacy
Maitreya
Just wear your Fab Free tag and click the board, if you need to join, the group is free to join, always, so no worries there! Gift is free and group is free. You can’t beat that with a stick!
Now, if you *really* wanna splurge, my hair is from Arata and it is only 1L. No group needed! There are actually several cute 1L gifts up on the wall there. 😉 So that’s that, you can get this entire outfit and hair for a whopping 1L! Does Fab Free bring it, or what? We got yer’ backs!

Pretty Lips
My pretty pink lip gloss is a new freeFabFree group gift at Lempika. If you look closely, you’ll see that they have little hearts on them. The set includes a hud that allows you to change the shade of lip glosses to various shades with different coloured hearts.
This whole spring season has been filled with pastel shades and bright colours. However, who says we can’t have a darker spring season too? I have a hunt that has some darker prizes available for you, and I wore black to match the theme!
There is yet another hunt out this month at the hunt taking place at Ostara’s Altar by Dark Passion Events. My pretty flower crown is the hunt prize from [QE Design]. It includes a hud that allows you to change the colours of the roses, leaves and circlet to six different options. It’s a gorgeous item! All prizes on the hunt at Ostara’s Altar cost 10L each. This event ends on April 30th. You can see all of the previews of the hunt prizes right here.
Funny Slippers
The best type of slippers are funny slippers. Tooty Fruity has some fun slippers out for their April VIP group gift, which features bunny head slippers. The slippers include a colour hud to change the bunnies to several different colours- including pastel and light shades as well as the black I chose to wear. Tooty Fruity is always so generous to their group members, handing out presents every month and gifting MM board prizes regularly. Their group currently costs 49L to join and it’s well worth it!

Hey FabFree! I am back with my hair addiction to show you another free hairstyle available for a limited time.

You can get this amazing hairstyle as a free group gift at the April round of Access. It includes 3 HUDs with roots, blended, and naturals colours. There are also some style options you can apply to the hairstyle in the HUDs, and the hair has a hair base included. The dreadlocks are so pretty. You will find this freegroup gift at Faenzo’s booth near the front of the event. Access is open until May 8th.
And it’s hard to love There’s so much to hate Hanging on to hope When there is no hope to speak of And the wounded skies above Say it’s much, too much, too late Well, maybe we should all be praying for time
Praying for Time – George Michael
Heya faboos!
Been hearing some horrible stories about war crimes being committed by the Russian armies and it just saddens me so much, how cruel we humans can be to one another. We are supposed to be the most intelligent advanced species on the planet, but tell me, what other species is cruel to one another? Makes me question how intelligent and advanced we truly are. So today I have donned my peace hat and am holding a light up in prayer, hoping for these atrocities to end. It is the innocent who suffer in a war, and that is so wrong.
Meanwhile I’ve been working on this a bit longer than I would like, I’ve been under the weather but spent much of the last few days snuggled with the little man (Rocky, my Chi) and sleeping/watching tv and I have a bit more energy so I am tackling this again.
Let’s do this!
My super cute and bohemian peace hat was a marketplace find by Libelula World and it was free to scoop up! One size fits all of course.
My top and jeans are the latest free group gift by Shanti (did you know that Shanti is Sanskrit for Peace?). The group is 99L to join and you can grab several other group gifts as well, along with a monthly 100L that all VIP get. You’ll also get half off all new releases so you do get your 99L worth (you basically get it right back via the gift card. Pretty nifty huh!). This outfit (both top and jeans) fits:
Curvy
Maitreya
Fine
Ebody
Hourglass
Physique
Legacy
Freya
Isis
Venus
My awesome pose with the sparkler is from Le Poppycock, it is another of their Nextup goodies that I have been grabbing lately. The machines are only 75L a play and there are endless poses.
Anyhoo, better wrap this up. It’s taken me far too long!

What can 2L buy you? Well, if you are a FabFree Goddess…a lot! This adorable little outfit was just 2L on Marketplace from our friends over at Cherie Couture. You get the outfit, the ears, and the basket! And, yes, there is a wee cotton tail! It’s all system clothes, but the new trick of “ADD” will have you dolled up in seconds. The basket can be worn or rezzed. ALL THIS CUTENESS FOR TWO LIL LINDENS!
Have one more Linden? This pose set is from Something New’s Easter Collection and is called Hoppity Easter. You can grab this fabulous pose complete with bunny and egg at the Evil Bunny Hunt which runs April 2nd- 30th (follow this NICE HINT- It’s Bunny Time so get Hoppity Hoppity!). The hunt item is 1L.
So, get crackin’ and treat yourself to some beautiful new clothes and toys…all for 3 wee Linden!!
