I’m feeling kiiiiinda retro in my bathing attire today. I have this weird RL rule that I don’t wear polka dots (I seriously don’t know why) but in SL, all bets are off. So I donned this cute little cossie and searched for the closest pool to dive into!

This cute little updo is called Carmen and is available as a group gift at MINA in this VIP exclusive shade of blonde. It includes a HUD that allows you to wear bangs or take them off and comes in fitted and non-fitted versions. The MINA group is 200L to join – well worth it in my opinion with tons of other group gifts available as well.

If you like a little Sci-fi, I might be able to point you in the right direction. The latest group gift at Prey for men has a Science Fiction feel to it that would make it ideal for roleplay, though I’m sure you could get away with it for every day Gothic wear as well.
This outfit comes in several separate pieces… you get the pants, top, and shoulder metals all as individual pieces that can be worn separately or together depending on the look you want. It only comes in standard mesh sizes, but I didn’t have any trouble using alphas to get it to fit my Slink mesh body.
Pick this outfit up free with your free group join at the Prey mainstore in the men’s department.

Remember when Pinball was all the rage? Maybe not if you’re young, it might just be “retro” to you. But I remember when Pinball was a big deal and scoring the new high score was THE THING.
Speaking of scoring
I scored a new shirt at Etham that you won’t want to miss out on. This great group gift is free with your free group join. Just don the group tag and pick up the gift. It includes a color change hud for the shirt as well. You can pick one of 12 colors for the shirt, and one of 5 colors for the zipper.

I love it when stores give matching gifts. I’m not sure why… but I do! E-clipse is currently giving these matching sweaters that were put out for Valentine’s day… one for women and one for men. These sweaters are free with your group tag and the group is freeto join.
To go with the sweater, Loki stopped by Gild, and picked up a few pairs of gift pants. The group is free to join and if you stop by the main-store you can get a full fat-pack of skinny pants in lots of patterns and colors by picking up the pairs that you like as the free store gift. Loki is showing off the color gray since it matched the sweaters.

I didn’t want to get left out in the cold when it came to getting in on the goods with the Menstuff Hunt… after all, the hunt ends November 30th, but somehow I ended up sitting on ice in a simful of penguins. I blame Astrid’s sense of direction. At least the penguins are friendly and the view of the Northern Lights is spectacular. Come to think of it… I don’t have that much to complain about after all. The trip up here was actually worth it. The sim is called Lovea and this little icy haven is outside of a small art studio. It’s well worth visiting to snap a few photos.
I needed igloo appropriate clothes.
I figure this red vest is igloo appropriate right? It’s also a FREEMenstuff Hunt gift from Birth and includes three different undershirt options. The shirt and vest are mesh and come separate so you can pick which shirt you will pair with the red vest. You get three choices of shirt: black, grey (pictured), and white. It comes in all the standard sizes and has its own alpha layer.
It’ll put hair on ya.
I remember various relatives telling me when I was growing up that different foods or activities would “put hair on my chest.” Thankfully it doesn’t work that way… but finding the iconic blue Menstuff Hunt shirt at Nivaro will put hair on your face!
Find the FREE gift there and you’ll be getting a fatpack of their Natural and Eldorado beards.
The package includes system layers of:
The El Dorado in both hard and soft in black, blonde, brown, red, and white/tintable
The Natural (shown) in both hard and soft in black, blonde, brown, red, and white/tintable
I think I’ll try to find a warmer locale for my next traveling venture… but we’ll see what Astrid has in mind. Till then, I have reading to do. Have a great afternoon!

Astrid got this crazy idea that we are going to be adventuring… and Kathryn helped her out with a link to this Flickr Group where you can look at pictures of various sims. It’s required to post the slurl in the description, so you can be sure to find the destination if you want to check it out for yourself. One of the photos caught my eye, and I landed on Baja Bay.
The original photo had been of a beach house with seaguls…. but I ended up gravitating toward a set of doors on the beach. I’m reminded of a song by The Doors called “Land Ho.”
“Grandma loved a sailor, who sailed the frozen sea
Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee
He said: “Son, I’m going crazy from livin’ on the land
Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sands”
Maybe that’s just the thing. I’ve been a little cooped up lately and I’m ready to open doors. These four got me as excited is Astrid about what lay ahead.
I haven’t forgotten the Freebies!
Every sailor needs a north star to guide their ship by… and as Astrid mentioned in her post [HERE], it was highly likely that I might be sharing the men’s gift from KiB Designs with you. The group is FREE to join and you can pick up this T-shirt FREE with your group tag.
The gift package from KiB Designs is actually a “family” package and includes this black T-shirt with the star print on it for everyone in the family… Mom, Dad, and kiddo. I’m wearing it in the male version. It comes in all the standard sizes with its own alpha layer. Ladies if you like it, you can pick it up FREE as well.
I’m off to wander the beach… the waves are still crashing and I think I see a few seashells. I feel the wanderlust creeping up on me. “Singing songs of shady sisters and old time liberty. Songs of love and songs of death and songs to set men free.” (The Doors)
Happy Wandering.

This newest group gift from Tiffany Designs had me thinking about the holidays and the first possible flurries of snowfall… so I headed for a photogenic sim with snow in place to take my picture of it for you.
This is the Henry vintage suit and it comes in one piece for easy fitting. You’ll get all the standard mesh sizes as well as an alpha layer.
Past Group Gifts Still Available!
If it looks familiar, it’s because Tiffany Design’s has put this fabulous suit out before as a group gift, except in a different color. In fact, there are currently four other group gifts out that you can pick up in addition to this suit shown above. You can preview three of the four here:
In today’s fast paced world of emails and electronic communications, I sometimes long for the printed word. This little nitch at the Paramour sim, reminded me of hand written correspondence and the beauty of an old fashioned snail mail letter.
Gizza is in for free fashion.
I think that’s why I like this November Group gift from Gizza so much. This classic suit works well not only for a modern attire, but it also has a nostalgic feel that reminds me of a bygone area. It is your FREE with your FREE group join. It comes in all the standard sizes and includes its own quality alpha layer.
Just teleport to the main-store, join the group if you are not already in it, and pick up your gift. There are a lot of past groups there for you to pick up, if you’ve never stopped by before.
Here is a preview of a few past FREE Gizza group gifts that have previously been blogged here on FabFree:
