It’s a Jungle Out There

It’s a jungle out there! But you’ll be ready… because House of Ruby and alaskametro<3 have delivered!

Previously, I showed you information about the Gone Wild gacha for men by House of Ruby at the GachAmazing event [HERE]. But the ladies have not been left out! For just 56L per spin, us gals have a chance at one of 7 pretty bodystockings (I’m showing you the peridot) or 2 rare latex suits… just like the guys did. These come in either Slink or Omega appliers for mesh bodies.

I found the perfect make up to accompany my wild jungle look! The Body Art Hunt is on until June 30th, with lots of great great gifts for you to hunt down… including a great set of FREE eyeshadows by alaskametro. This “Tilda” eyeshadow includes 6 color choices on the pallet, system layers, and appliers for LeLutka, Omega, and Slink.

Also, thank you to Fabfree reader Dreamin who tipped me off that alaskametro is having a limited time sale… everything at the store is currently 50% off for a limited time! I’m not sure when this sale ends, but hurry so you don’t miss out!

Grim, And Yet So Pleasant A Find!

Hi everyone! Sadly, the excellent Jack Or Jill Hunt is over. There is, however, at least one free prize a creator has left out for us straggling hunters, and it is not to be missed! The Little Bat offered the Grim Outfit W/Hud for the Jack Or Jill Hunt containing the Grim Jacket & Shirt shown above. The jacket is a one piece mesh combo featuring a simple denim jacket, well-textured and very realistic-looking over a foreboding skull T-Shirt. The Tee is texture change via included hud and offers you six color choices to choose from. I really appreciate it when designers offer us something with texture change options. It moves the items high up on my “Wanted” list. That isn’t all that is included in this free gift though! The Little Bat also throws in the jeans I am wearing in two styles: Straight and Tapered. Both versions come in five sizes as does the Jacket & Shirt combo, so getting a good fit will be a breeze. Run to get this item, it could be gone any minute!

Pru previously mentioned a store over at the shopping event called Swank here. Swank is a themed monthly sales event and this month the theme is “Luck Of The Irish”! There are free gifts and inexpensive gachas to be found there, so it is worth popping by for a visit. It just so happens when I was over there I found something I liked quite a bit! The Safety Vest – The Boss from Dita Couture is at The Swank Event on a Gacha for only 30L per play. It looks very realistic and while it isn’t something you would normally wear every day, it is definitely a fun item to pick up. It could come in very handy role-playing on Second Life or if you happen to be a male dancer, it could be part of a very sexy stage outfit. Either way, for only 30L it is something that deserves your consideration.

Also at The Swank Event are the free eyes I am wearing this week, the Ivernia Shamrock Eyes from Dulce Secrets. To show off how nice they are, I inset a close up on the top picture which hopefully does them justice. They are offered in both regular and Mesh versions and make for an excellent free gift to pick up. I collect eyes on SL and was thrilled to add these to my collection, I hope you will be too!

That’s it for me, now it’s time to wander off to first life for a while. I hope you all have some fun tonight on the grid, however you enjoy spending your time there. For now I will leave you my friends with my best wishes, have fun and see you on the grid very soon!—–WHC Riler

Steampunk Sweets and Envious Love

There are few things that I enjoy more than coffee and sweets. A close runner up would be finding great deals that include sweets and coffee! So I might have spent an afternoon indulging my sweet-tooth and my desire to play gacha machines at The Gacha Garden recently. The Gacha Garden has a fun setting to wander through and will be running through the end of November.

These decadent pastries and the delicious looking coffee are a few of the gachas from the Roawenwood machine at Gacha Garden. There is a complete set to be had of fun steam-punk themed items from chairs with poses to a checker board. The Roawenwood gacha machine is just 50 lindens per play.

Donuts in hand, I also stopped to play the Doe machine also at Gacha Garden. This gorgeous hairstyle was just too pretty to pass up. I love the half up/half down long flowing style with the braid at the top. The Doe machine is just 75 lindens per play and worth every linden!

Very near the Doe machine at Gacha Garden I found myself unable to resist the OXI gacha machine. I’m not sure how, but somehow my purse addiction like my shoe addiction has seeped into Second Life. I see a cute purse or clutch and I can’t help myself! The OXI machine is full of adorable round clutches for just 30 lindens per play, they really are too cute to resist.

Wanna see more from the Gacha Garden? Check out these posts from Love here, and Julianna here, and here too!

To round out my day of gacha-ing I also stopped by Envious and picked up this very cute sweater dress. The dress is a current FREE group gift at Envious. This cute little sweater dress with the word “LOVE” across the top comes in standard mesh sizes and includes fit mesh and body-specific mesh sizes. There’s certain to be a size that suits just about everyone. The Envious group is FREE to join at this time, and there are other gifts to be had as well.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Shabby Chic Sunday

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.. Can’t believe Christmas and New Year are over! Where did it go? I spent today taking down the decorations and packing up the tree for another year. Its always sad when all the sparkling lights vanish. I just might have to find some fairy lights for all year around!

I took a break to grab a cup of coffee and find some great freebies and deals around the grid that I could tell you about before I go back and finish off packing up Christmas!

A hint for those who want items that were part of big gacha events such as The Arcade Gacha, is to check around Gacha yard sales. Alot of people use them to sell on their multiple gacha wins and you can find some great items here.. even things you didnt know you were looking for!

One good list of yard sales to use is this list from Seraphim. Also search “gacha yard sale” or “gatcha yard sale” in SL Search.. one other thing is DON’T FORGET to pick up your purchases once you buy them! They are usually not in vendors and so you are purchasing the actual item.. right click and choose “TAKE” from the menu!
