All that we sacrifice for love

This weekend I took an adventure to find the Las Vegas Fight Club, stranded in the sand searching day and night I was left standing alone by the end of the day. The elusive Fight Club is not something that you can find easily, but I promise you I will find it and snap some pictures of some goodies involving the secret group. I know the first rule is NOT to talk about it, but I’m the type to break down those secret walls and tell all the juicy details.

Mug has released their free group gift over the weekend, I got in my truck and ran over to one of their shops and snagged it. While I didn’t have the group before I did make sure that I joined and snagged their previous free gifts too. Making the L$250 join fee worth it for me as I didn’t have any of the older gifts. I am super stoked about these pants, coming with a few different body options and three color choices all in acid wash. Bring back the acid wash jeans, I love that look ^^

Fits:

• Maitreya
• Freya
• Legacy
• Katena Reg

To The Moon

Ok y’all, work with me here.  I’m dressed up like mad because I’m attending a party in space.  There will be awesome aliens, and really crazy martian food and even maybe a few extra-terrestrial drinks.  That calls for some rad and a bit mad clothing options.  I’m a star among the stars, baby!

Lulu Gotcha Covered

I’m losing my mind a bit, probably, but that’s ok because sometimes in the depths of madness you get a bit of magic to happen!  My space-age look is made up of some cool group gifts that I picked up at LuluB!  This weekend only, their group is free to join, so it’s a great time to pick up the fun gifts they’ve got!  I am showing you the Queen glitter…um…top.  It has a less PG name, but I’ll call it a glitter top.  It comes with both BOM layers and an Omega applier and gives a cool festival vibe which you can wear in loads of different ways.  The lipstick and eyeshadow are also free over at LuluB! and they are super fun to wear.  There are a bunch of other cool free gifts there too, so make sure you grab them while you can!

To the moon, Aline!

Purely Tentacular

What’s the weirdest ice cream flavour you’ve ever had?  There are so many insane concoctions these days that I never know if people are joking or whether they are creating genuinely delicious foods.  You may have heard of onion flavoured ice cream (it’s a real thing), but the tendency to the strange doesn’t lie only at the feet of the ice cream world.  Don’t even get me started on molecular gastronomy.  Is that still a thing?

The Shade, The Shade of it all!

The Shady Seasonal Hunt takes off today, and there are several brands participating!  When you join the free group, you’ll be able to access the different gifts (all priced at 20L) in each store on the sim.  I headed to Mug, where I grabbed this fun skirt (it would match very well with the group gift I posted yesterday).  It comes with an HUD to change the skirt colour to four different neon colours, as well as options to change the fishnet or remove it.  As with many Mug clothing items, you also have different body types taken into account, so this skirt could be considered a unisex item.  I also grabbed my be-tentacled ice cream from Dots for just 20L.  There are six different flavours, and three different tentacle colours!  Just search for the beach balls when you’re in each store, and you’re sure to find something fun!

Spin Spin

Hey Mister DJ, put a record on, I wanna dance with my baby!  I’m spending more quality me time at home with my record collection.  You know, those shiny black discs that existed before CDs? (Psst..CDs are the shiny discs that came before whatever the young’uns use to listen to music nowadays….).  Anyway…There’s nothing better than a personal dance party to shake off the blues!

This old Thing?

Right, I own a ridiculous amount of clothes in SL, but not many of them have poses that are included when I wear them!  The newest group gift from Mug is this fishnet tank top (complete with modesty pasties…well…sorta modest) that has you pulling at your straps the minute you put it on.  So much fun.  The HUD that comes with it allows you to change the colour of the little metal hearts, and also the size of the top.  The Mug group currently costs 250L to join, but you’ll find several other group gifts on the wall there!

• Maitreya
• V-Tech

Over it All

To pair with my new top, I picked up these free overalls (sized for Maitreya) from Addicted Apothecary.  It’s their Stay at Home offering, and is super adorbs.  I may live in them forever.  They even have a little embroidered flower on the back which makes me smile.  Of course, as with all Stay at Home Club gifts, this one is completely free.  Just pay the vendor 1L which will then be promptly returned to you.  There’s also a little halter top in the box for you!

Turn up the vinyl!

Outta My Head

I have no idea why “Love Shack” by the B-52’s is stuck in my head today.  I suppose there are worse songs to have stuck in my head, but it just keeps going around and around and I don’t know where it came from.  So I’m escaping the shack and heading to the coast for a peach slushie and a bit of peace!

Happy Anniversary!

Tetra is celebrating their 5th anniversary with a huge sale, and a new group gift!  This asymmetrical skirt could be used in so many different looks, and it comes with an HUD with loads of different colour options.  You’ll wear the heck out of it!  To get it, just join the Tetra group for 50L and then click on the vendor.  There are a bunch of other gifts to grab while you’re there too!

Sip Sip

The drink that’s saving me from all the repetitive music in my head is a peach slush that I picked up at Kopfinko.  It’s their latest group gift, and it comes with two different holds for all your cool drinking needs.  The group is free to join and you’ll find a pile of other gifts on the wall beside it.

Tin roof, rusted?

Hot in the City

Summer time in the city calls for cool outfits, and cool attitudes.  With summer heat warnings in effect in my part of the world, all I can do is stare gratefully at my air conditioner.  SL-me is being more adventurous and heading out into the city, ready to cause a ruckus and look cool while she’s at it!

Smug Mug

I’m sending you all over the place today to get some fun group gifts to put together a cute outfit that’s right for turning heads on the hot tarmac.  Your first stop is Mug where their latest group gift is a fun little tube top.  It comes with several different texture options that you can access from the HUD, and as with all Mug offerings the sizing options are accessed through the HUD as well.  To get this cute top (and the other group gifts) just join the Mug group for 250L.

Sneaky!

Quinnty’s has a new group gift out too, and it’s these colourful sneakers. They  have a wide range of different texture options as well, ranging from 80’s fabulous to patriotic.  To get them, join the Quinnty’s group for 50L and then pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you.  There are lots of fun group gifts to be had at this stop, so make sure you pick them all up!  The shoes come sized for Belleza, eBody, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Slink and Tonic.

Nailed It!

This month’s group gift from Rosary is something a little different – mesh nails!  They come in three length options from short to extra-long.  I went for the middle length option, but as you can see they’re still pretty long!  They come with an HUD to change the colour and work with Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy and Slink hands!  The Rosary group is currently 350L to join, and you’ll find older group gifts available to pick up here as well.

While you’re at it, if you’re a Maitreya body user you should pick up a redelivery (you can get that through the Maitreya HUD) as the body has recently been updated to version 5.2!

Stay cool Fab Fam!

Gardening Gals

It’s officially Summer now, and that means that it’s time to dig in and get some planting done.  Me and Pru and ready for a bit of planting and gossiping, which will clearly be followed by some lemonade on the porch.   We’re getting in touch with nature again!  Hooray for the summertime!

Which Wood?

Witchwood (aka Oubliette and Petite Mort) are back on the hunting circuit with their very own Summer Festival hunt!  It’s filled with lovely summery, slightly boho outfits that will have you feeling like you’re in touch with nature before you know it!  The items are all priced from 10 – 20L and can be mixed and matched very nicely.  You can see which items Pru and I have got on in the credits below, and I’ve added the hunt key so you can see what’s on offer!  The Summer Festival hunt at Witchwood is running until July 5th!

Home Sweet Home

The lovely house Pru and I are hanging out in front of is the latest Stay at Home Club gift from Trompe L’Oeil!  To get it, just head over to their landing point and pay 0L.  The chairs on the front porch are also available for free there, and they look so inviting that I don’t know how much gardening we two will get done in the end!  As we often say in SL…you can never have too many houses!  And when they’re free…one just can’t resist!

Slice of Heaven

After a foray to the RL grocery store, I find that nothing soothes my soul better than a bit of a chill in SL.  I love the fact that I can come inworld and not worry about how much space is around me or whether I inadvertently walked through someone’s cloud of breath.  Yes, I know I’m overreacting slightly (am I?) but that’s besides the point.  SL is my home away from home, while still being at home.  And I’m more grateful than ever for this little slice of virtual paradise!

Well Tressed

Pr!tty have their free group gift for May ready to go, and it’s this really pretty long hair.  I always love the little details in Pr!tty hair, such as the errant strands and the myriad of colour choices.  To get your very own, just join the Pr!tty group for free and then pick up this lovely hair in their main store.  It doesn’t get much better than that!

Ooh, Seasonal!

The Shady Sim Seasonal hunt is back, with a bunch of stores hiding a flower pot somewhere in their shop.  I nipped over to Mug and found their hidden flower pot, which contained this pair of exceedingly short shorts (as with all Mug items, they come with different gender options in the HUD).  To get them, I joined the free Shady Hunt group at the landing point, then found the pot which only cost me 20L.  Check out the other offerings on the hunt below!  The Shady Sim Seasonal Hunt runs until May 15th.

Hope you found your own little slice of virtual heaven too.

One With Nature

Nature has a way of healing our souls, doesn’t it?  I try to get in a bit of fresh air, and then do a bit of SL meditating when the weather in RL is frightful.  Luane’s World is a sim I visit fairly often, because it’s so peaceful and beautiful.  Want to come commune with nature with me?

Beautiful, and all the Rest

Oh right, you’re here for the freebies.  I forgot for a second!  There’s a new free gift as part of the stay at home movement in SL.  Head over to Beautiful, Dirty, Rich and you can pick up this free cropped cardigan that has a whole host of texture options in the HUD.  No group join required here, just click on the vendor!

A Mug of Cheer

There’s a new group gift over at Mug right now, and it’s this very tiny thong-type thing I’ve got on.  It’s quite revealing in the back, fair warning!  It comes with an HUD to change to six different colours, and as always with Mug’s offerings it also has different body options for both female and male avatars.  You can change the body sizes and options in the HUD as well.  This thong comes sized for Maitreya, Legacy, Freya and Katena bodies.  The Mug group is currently 250L to join.

And Finally…

I saved the best for last today, mostly because it will be taking up a lot of your time (in a good way)!  The folks behind The Pose Fair have set up a new event called The Pose Fair Market, which consists of a massive amount of pose creators selling their goods for discounted prices.  They’re also offering a free gift at each stall for members of their free to join group.  This is all in the spirit of staying home and still creating beautiful art through our SL photography.  I picked up this pretty butterfly and pose from the Indigo Poses stall, and I love every minute of it!  Head on over to The Pose Fair Market today!

Peace and Love!

Scrub a Dub

Well Fab Free, it’s time for a good ol’ fashioned clean up.  I’m gonna tackle this kitchen and make it as clean as is humanly possible, because let’s face it…what else is there to do but disinfect right now?  May as well do it stylishly too!

It’s Belated!

C!L are having a little “belated” Easter hunt, with lots of bright and colourful goodies for those who take the time to hunt for them.  I happened to find this pretty bright pink dress (which only cost me 3L) as well as a matching pair of ombré pink tights (they come with an Omega applier and classic layers) for just 2L!  What a cute little outfit!  There are plenty of other colours to choose from at C!L, and all you have to do is hunt for the eggs at the store.
