Red & Green

Red and green should never be seen, except for in the washing machine, they say.   But, I always add “and at Christmas”.  I don’t know, I’ve always felt they look pretty nice together actually.  People do like to come up with random rules, like people with red hair shouldn’t wear pink.  Pish-posh.  Wear what you like.  And especially during the Holidays!

More Shops and Hops

Shop and Hop has been open for a hot minute now, and the crowds have dwindled a bit.  It’s the perfect time to make the rounds, or cherry pick what you like from this massive event.  OR, knowing some of you out there – just unpack the stuff you’ve picked up.  However you’re doing it, it’s an event not to be missed.  Here’s what I found for free at Shop & Hop, no group join is required to get these awesome gifts:

• FREE shorts by The Annex sized for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy & Maitreya with 3 different textures in the HUD
• FREE ear muffs by C’est La Vie (you can also change them to green in the HUD)
• FREE personal falling snow by GA.EG.
• FREE hair by Vanity hair in a pack of natural colours

Shop and Hop is running until January, so you’ve still got a good swathe of time to get’er done.  You’ll find all the info, and links to every shop HERE.

Dirty Creola Callahan

Hello you Fabulous readers! I’ve returned from a short bout of sleeping sickness. Not the kind caused by the tsetse fly; just the kind that hits you like a truckload of bricks making you want to sleep the day away. I’m better now. : -) 

Lets talk about good vs bad. Over time there have been many different ideas about one or the other. But who decides? Good is associated with qualities like selflessness, kindness, benevolence, morality, and compassion while bad or evil denotes actions such as selfishness, cruelty, wickedness, immorality, etc. I couldn’t decide which way I wanted to go to show off two gifts from V8 Underground that can let you be either or both. I think one can have a little of both. 

The “Good” 

In the picture on the right I’m wearing the V8 Underground Alysia Nerri White BDSM outfit. It’s the free gift for Fabulously Free in SL group that as most of you know is free to join. If you love to turn heads then you need this outfit. Since it’s white it can be seen as “good” but it sure is wicked looking. Sometimes it’s good to be a little bad. One of the things I’ve always loved about V8 Underground is that you purchase an outfit is that everything is usually included. Think shoes or boots, clothing, jewelry, and even make up at times. Alysia Nerri comes with the bodysuit and boots.

Sizes

• Maitreya Lara and Petite
• Legacy Classic and Perky

The “Bad”

The outfit pictured on the right is the Kyara Bad Girl Style also from V8 Underground. It is a free gift for the Third Life group that has a join fee of only $10L. And oh my! Don’t I look “bad” in the outfit? I think I’m channeling Dirty Harry Callahan. Donning my mirrored aviator glasses and huge automatic weapon I dare anyone to cross me!

Did you know that mirrored sunglasses can be used as a rear view mirror if you remove them on the pretext of cleaning them? The best advantage is that no one can see your eyes or where you’re looking. In this package you’ll find boots, bodysuit, hat, sunglasses, gloves, makeup layer, and even a cigar! I wasn’t in a smoking mood so the cigar is not shown. Oh yeah! I forgot about the leg holster with the huge automatic weapon – “Go ahead, make my day!” 

Sizes

• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• Maitreya Lara
• SLink Hourglass and Physique
• Omega & SLink Appliers
• System layers
• BOM & Omega Appliers for makeup

Tiki Bar

In a quest to enjoy some sunshine and get some Vitamin D, Blue and I have taken to exploring bright beachy locations. These little excursions have led us to some pretty cool places. Not to mention that the promise of adventure is also probably the best way to get me out of my beloved pajamas. lol

Speaking of not being in pajamas, my colorful t-shirt dress is a free gift by UNA at Second Life’s 17th Birthday shopping event. It comes in rainbow, black, and white. My cute chunky heart earrings are a free SL17B gift by NeverWish. I thought they were perfect with the rainbow “Road Trip” dress by UNA. I’m kind of digging the whole ’80s vibe this look gives. Blue picked up a few freebies at the SL17B Shop & Hop event also. His flip-flops are the free SL17B gift from Native Urban, while the cool ring he’s wearing is the free mens gift at SL17B by Lapointe & BastChild. There’s a ladies version of the ring as well. Blue’s shirt and shorts are both hunt prizes on the AllStuff hunt. His cool floral sleeveless hoodie is a dollarbie hunt prize at Waffles, while his casual linen shorts are a free hunt gift at UnderDog. The AllStuff Hunt ends June 30th, so don’t wait and miss these!

Waffles Hunt Hint – Find me at the landing point. 

UnderDog Hunt Hint – Come hang out at the lounge! Watch some tv while you’re at it! 

• Dress Sizes Included: Legacy, Maitreya Lara
• Shirt Sizes Included: Belleza Jake, Signature (Gianni, Geralt), TMP, Slink, Standard Mesh (xs – L) + Alpha Layer

Finally, you can get a little bit of outdoor summer fun in your own backyard by picking up this cool outdoor bar by Muniick for just 60 linden. It’s their Happy Weekend Sales event item and it will be available at the sale price this weekend only. The “Lowel’s Outdoor Bar” from Muniick includes the beer bucket full of ice-cold canned and bottled beer, the bar, and stools. It also has individual and couples bento poses. It’s the perfect addition to your patio or outdoor kitchen.

You Know Everything

Hello Fab Free’rs, this post is going to be a little bit different in that it’s all about the new male head gift at Akeruka, and a new group gift couples pose at WRONG rather than ladies fashion. Thankfully I have this handsome gentleman of mine here to help. The Akeruka head wouldn’t look even half as good on me as it does on him! Keep reading, and I’ll share more about each of these fantastic group gifts.

That face! The Akeruka Clay head is the latest group gift for Akeruka group members. This male head is a full Akeruka Deluxe mesh bento head complete with animations. Also included with this gift is the Akeruka skin in multiple tones with facial hair options, and body appliers for Slink (Omega), Signature (Omega), and Belleza bodies. The Akeruka group has a one time join fee of 150 linden. To get yours you will need to wear your Akeruka group tag, and pay the gift vendor 1 linden. This gift will be available until July 6th. After July 6th, the Clay head will be for sale at the regular price.

The pose Blue so patiently sat in with me while I took this photo is a free group gift at WRONG. There are actually several group gifts at WRONG, and the store group is free to join. I like the potential narrative this pose lends itself to. The pose is named “You Know Everything” which I also liked. It’s true, Blue pretty much knows everything. This free group gift at WRONG includes individual his and hers poses, along with a cool modern chair to pose in. I’ll include a copy of the vendor ad for this pose by WRONG below so you can get the full effect.

Here are the details, happy shopping!
