There’s a warrior inside of all of us. And with a little help from a few stores and some free items, your inner warrior is about to make a journey to the surface!
If it’s been a while since you’ve been to Luas, now is the time to drop by! They have a new FREE group gift out in the form of this amazing color change latex top (six color choices). I’ve made it into a medieval warrior look, but it could pass for a modern latex maiden just as easily. You’ll need to wear your group tag, but never fear warrior woman! The group is FREE to join!
Before you leave, make your way through the halls of Luas‘ main-store like the hardened battle warrior you are and check out the gachas! For just 50L per spin, you can get these amazing belt and pauldron sets called the Dark Swan. You get the matching set in each spin, so there isn’t any fuss over multiple spins to match miss-matched sets. No warrior wants a mismatched set! I picked up the Dark Swan set in blue (and if you really want to go for all, there is an additional Dark Swan armor set next to the skirt and paulron gacha with even more pieces!).
Finally, every warrior needs weapons and defenses! Did all you roleplayers know that you can get a huge assortment of FREE weapons (of all kinds) and shields at JOMO? I found everything from shields to swords to spears to clubs to spiked sticks and more! For this picture I’m showing you one of the high quality detailed shields as well as a hooked axe. There are both men’s and women’s weapons FREE to all. Simply walk back into the alley way after landing… there is an entire small building dedicated to FREE non-scripted weapons for roleplayers and you can buy one or all for 0L!

Since this is Tellaq we are talking about, the prize isn’t just a skin but a complete avatar package! The package includes sixteen styles of facial hair and an option for a hairier body on each one. Also included is a shape and some eyes as well, so this really is a full package that you can get for FREE!

This week’s pics were taken at my favorite FREE photo studio. I am sure they appreciate me hanging around there nearly naked all day, so the least I can do is give them a wink and a smile. Karu’s Korner photo studio is great for bloggers, taking profile pics and stalking me. Many thanks for a great resource.

All of the very well detailed decor items and building in my pics today come from the JOMO Shops and they are all FREE. A bonus, all the items I am showing are low in prims. There are so many FREE gifts throughout the shops on the sim you could be there an hour picking them up. I am featuring Asian items today but there are several non Asian FREEBIES as well. There are decor items, builds, clothes, costumes, skins and weapons. With so many choices there has to be something to tickle both girls and guys fancy so its well worth a trip over to JOMO to have a look around, remember there are FREE items to be found in all the shops with the bulk of them being in the FREE shop. If you want to score a few more gifts you can join theFREE group and play the lucky letter boards found in the room containing all FREEBIES.

I do spend a lot of my time at beach.. but occasionally I want to take a walk on the “wild side.” So I tossed on some clothes that I found at Lapointe & Bastchild (L&B) and went in search of something scary. I ended up in this old broken down cathedral that looked as if it had been ripped right out of the pages of a Scooby Doo episode… it was THAT scary! It’s a good thing I had some nice leather boots on from L&B.. there were nails sticking up everywhere.. some with blood on them. The boots were in two pieces so you could wear them with out the tops – perfect for wearing with flared bottom pants. The pattern long-sleeved shirt was open to provide a little ventilation in case I broke out in a cold sweat… L&B has a LOT of free stuff for both guys and ladies that are interested in “going gothic.” I’m just showing you a small part of what is available for FREE.
Intrepid Adventurer?
My intrepid adventuristic (probably not a word) tendencies took over and I started wandering around the dark and creepy place. The music and sounds were creepy… there were visages of nuns (at least they were dressed up as nuns) with whips and contraptions that I’m not sure were designed for the comfort of their user. As I was taking notes my boot stepped on something that caused a crunch… I looked down and backed up a step to examine the remains of the unfortunate soul who’s finger bone I just crushed…
Can I get you a glass of water?
I looked around and noticed other unfortunates that had experienced the same fate. I calmly stood.. took a few notes and continued my research as I made my way back to the entrance… I did not bother to take any more pictures of the grisly scenes I observed as I cataloged everything I wrote down as I calmly exited from the grounds. Perhaps I shall return and seek vindication for those lost souls another day…
Cal’s calm departure

It’s a great day for a walk in the sunshine, so I decided to take a stroll around the City of Brussels. I’m wearing the February group gift from Vero Modero (free to join), along with these Shearling Short Boots, the latest group gift from ::GABRIEL:: (free to join).
I was lucky enough to get this great skin for free from the lucky boards at *JOMO*. It comes with the tattoo you see here. My jewelry is one of the current men’s group gifts from Chop Zuey (350L to join; lots of gifts out now!), and my hair is the group gift from Mr. C (30L to join). The hair doesn’t come with a hairbase, so you’ll need to find one you like to wear it with. I wearing the hairbase from the *OMIKO* group gift from Yasum.
All this walking has made me hungry. Do I smell Belgian Fries!
In November, I had done a free hair round up with 50 free hairstyles, and it had such a big response through comments, notecards and IMs that I thought our Fabulous Readers might enjoy a free skin post too! I have put together a list of 40 free (0L – 1L) skins in Second Life. I could have probably put together a list with 100 free skins in SL because there are so many generous skin designers out there, and probably 40 alone just in Mother Goose… My goal was to get to 50, but I just couldn’t bring myself to change my skin even one more time lol, so we are at 40. ENJOY!
After reading Love’s post about the Naughty and Nice Hunt, I popped on over to Gay Riviera and got sidetracked by a freebie being offered in Santa’s Workshop. It’s a special sock with a great feature – it dispenses candy canes! It has some wonderful details and is perfect for any naughty Christmas parties you may be attending this year. I have had no complaints about the candy canes thus far. It was the perfect way for me to show off the Jomo Boy Lucky Skin I picked up from a lucky board in the store. The nice buckled Latreia Santa boots that are being offered byDelirium Style to members (99L to join). You can get them in both red and green and you can choose whether you want a white or black fringe. I found the Kermit Santa hat on the Marketplace to top off my naughty ensemble.
Cal is wearing:
Santa Hat – Kermit Santa Hat v3 on Marketplace (Free)
Ever get pushed into the water on a hot summer day with all of your clothes on and end up with a wet t-shirt sticking to your skin? Well now you can do that without the sticky feeling for just 10L if you look up the Xed Aries wet t-shirt on Marketplace.
Of course I had to dry off so I stripped down but fortunately I had a little something left – the Golden Feast, a free gift you can find at Jomo.
The t-back man’s thong comes in a couple of different options as I’m showing you here.
Once my pants were dry I put them back on along with a nice warm wine sweater to ward off the chill – both part of the Pimp My Hunter hunt gift at Rispetto Designs. So if you’re looking for a little wet n dry, get out there and get your free stuff!
