It’s a Late New Year Greeting

Hail to the New Year! Wow, time flies in Second Life. I should know as I’ve been here for eons. However, I didn’t come with the grid like a few of my “old” friends. I hope 2023 treats you kindly and that you stay safe/healthy in both lives. I much prefer to celebrate in SL. My cat would rather not be exposed to the fireworks noises. He did watch one of the pretty ones explode until it got too noisy.

New Year, New Hair

I am a hair hoarder. Yes, it’s true. When No_Match announces a new group gift or sales items I am there in the blink of an eye. The newest gift is Candle, this sleek updo with wispy bangs that frame your face. The gift is a fatpack with multiple color/texture change options. The No_Match group has a $50L join free. It’s a great deal when you consider the monthly group gifts, specials, and the huge room full of previous group gifts,

Get Poshed

The current round of the Posh Event runs until January 23rd. There are multiple designer gifts set out in the booths. You do have to join the Free Posh group to pick up the gifts. The neon Posh Girl sign is a Free gift for the group courtesy of [TWC] The Wetherby Company,

Let’s get this year off to a roaring start!

Counting Down

Can you believe this year is nearly over and done with? When I realized this it was time to take a break from unpacking and reorganizing ye ole inventory. Traipsing around the grid scooping up all the goodies out there has worn this old gal out. I really can’t complain because I love doing it.

Get Thee to Cosmopolitan Now!!!

Cosmopolitan designers are once again spoiling us with tons of gifts. You do need to join the free Cosmopolitan Club & Lounge group. The start clicking on all of the lovely baubles hanging on the tree near the entrance. I picked up all of them, of course! I don’t know how much longer the gifts will be available so scoot over there if you want them.

Today I’m relaxing in this cute number from a new to me designer, Foxton. The Berlin outfit comes with a color/texture change hud that lets you change the shirt, skirt, belt, top, and shorts.  The styling is trendy and easy-going. You’ll love wearing this one. It is an all-in-one outfit though it looks like it has several pieces. The hud lets you pick from the following body sizes: Ebody, Legacy, & Maitreya.

My sandals are also a Cosmopolitan Advent gift from G&D. The Namika Sandals are tres chic! They are fitted for Belleza, Ebody, Legacy, Maitreya, and SLink. A fatpack hud containing beaucoup colors comes with the sandals. Another great score!

Don’t miss this last chance to get all the Cosmopolitan gifts.

TTFN,

Heaux, Heaux ,Heaux as we say in Cajun country. The weather today is chilly but in a day or so it will get really cold. Like 23 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s 0 Celsius for you folk north of the border)! Glad I was able to wear this saucy little number at least once. I, as most of you, have been busily hitting the advent calendars around the grid.

Baboom is Back!

I was ecstatic to hear that Baboom has an advent calendar out. I hadn’t seen anything from the store in quite some time.  On day 9 I picked up this cute plaid outfit named Carina. You can still grab all of the previous days’ gifts for free at Baboom. Don’t you love when designers add those extra touches that makes a creation unique? This outfit has lots of them. It’s like having bells & whistles. Carina is sized only for the Maitreya body.

Be Merry!

Telsiope Has Your Number

Feeling up to spookiness yet? You should because Halloween is knocking at the door. I’m not going to show you a costume today (yet). Instead I’m bringing you news from Telsiope Couture. As I have said in previous posts about this store is that I LOVE it. So let’s get talking about what you can find there.

Sexy Mama

I am feeling so sexy in this body-hugging provocative dress that fits like a sheer glove. It just makes you feel like you’re sending clouds of pheromones out into the world. Ooh-la-la! Yes, it’s sheer but have no fear, strategically placed solid swathes cover your bits. Included in the package is a texture change HUD with 20 options to choose from making the dress versatile. It’s like getting a fat pack without all the extra pieces.

Sizes included are Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink. When you tp into the shop go up the stairs to the third floor. Alessia is currently the gift in the Midnight Madness board – give it a slap. There is also a Scratch & Win board and a host of gifts for other groups like Fabfree. The prices are very reasonable so get shopping.

My second look from Telsiope Couture is the Amber Halloween Dress & Boots. It’s a dress that is not strictly for Halloween so you can wear it anytime. The included texture change HUD gives you three options in four colors. Your color choices are purple/lavender, black, red, and green. The texture choices are plain colors, small symbols (this is what I’m wearing) and last, one with large pentacles. You can really do a lot with the HUD. Amber is also sized for Belleza, Maitreya, & SLink. The boots are included in this black color. I got this for $50L. I always feel like I’m getting a nice bargain from Telsiope Couture.

Hair Today & Maybe More Tomorrow?

I have tons of hair but I cant resist buying new styles when they are on sale. I was beyond excited when I saw that No_Match had an offer out for the Happy Weekend Sale. I zoomed to the store and grabbed the No_Confusion red pack for only $60L. It’s really cute and you can change the color of the bow headband. There are many great hair designers around the grid but No_Match has remained my favorite for years.

One last note – I could not remember or find the pose used in picture #1. If anyone would like to apply to be my inventory organizer please send your resume to my Zanzibar.

It’s Only a Couple of Scratches

It was one of those Escape Rooms where you get locked in with people you don’t know and have to work together to escape. Seems that none of us who were booked for last night got the memo about leaving knives at home. As the evening turned to night it got  very dark. And oops, no one told us to bring flashlights.

In all that inky blackness things got a wee bit out of hand. Although I may be torn up a bit I’m fine. From the looks of it our team won! We all celebrated with a round of Bloody Marys!

A Spooky Take on a Classic

I like graphic clothing with witty sayings or artwork It’s a way of expressing yourself. A longtime SL fashion designer, Simone Udimo, is the creator/owner of  Java Fashion Design. I’ve been a subscriber at her store for years. She regularly offers free gifts for everyone and always has low prices. My dress today is one of several totally free gifts at the store. Upon entering look for 2 pumpkins in the lobby. They’re really easy to spot.

I’m wearing the Prissy Perks Midi dress that has been set out as a Halloween gift at Java Fashion Design. I think it’s hysterical with all of the wounds and the saying, “I’m fine”. As you can see it’s trimmed with a drippy, bloody border. It’s sized for Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Legacy, Maitreya, & SLink Hourglass.

My heels are a free gift from [QE] at Shop & Hop. The Akila heels are definitely keepers.  The styling is perfect and of course there is a color/texture change hud with a choice of 15 colors. The heels fit Belleza, Maitreya, and SLink. There are only a few days to visit Shop & Hop; it ends on November 1st.

As I mentioned in a previous post Booty’s Beauty has new makeup on the MM boards every day. The La Luna eyeshadow comes in BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX. The awesome tattoo below my right eye was on sale at One 2K for $25L Tuesday. It looks like I have a stash of extra eyeballs inside my cheek! Unfortunately it has been set back to regular price. (Sorry about that readers).

Lastly I am wearing a set of Bento Square nails by Fatal Fashion you can pick up for free at Swank (the group is free to join). They fit SLink, Maitreya, Belleza Kupra, Legacy, & Tonic.

If you aren’t ready for Halloween it is time to get it together!! Now – run!

Conjuring

I’ve been practicing my witching skills lately. Amazing how I forgot the words to spells and incantations. Please don’t tell my coven. Oh wait! I am a solo witch because I couldn’t find a Cajun coven. So anyhoo, I was trying to conjure my broom (I forgot where I parked it). I thought I said the correct words. These two evil looking pumpkins showed up instead. Guess I’d best do a a lot of reading.

It feels like Christmas in October in SL this month. Before we to December our inventories will be stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey!

Grab Those gifts!

I put this outfit together with items from Swank, Shop & Hop, and Bundles.

• Gothicatz October Vibes (Free gift @Shop & Hop) Sized for Belleza Freya & Isis, ebody Reborn, Inthium, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, SLink HG.

Casting Spells for a Fab Halloween

I braved Le Monde Perdu (The Lost World) to find a spooky place to show you more gifts from Shop and Hop. You should visit and walk through the grounds; it’s all decked out for autumn with gorgeous colors. And as an added bonus there are Halloween decorations and scenes.

It’s time to cast a spell!

I was so excited about the  $3L Mid-season Mystery Fair & Hunt item from Telsiope Couture that I could hardly wait to show it off. The Honey for Demons dress is perfect for casting spells. I do love this beautiful celestial textured dress with its timeless styling. You also get a tiara (squeals) and a hud with six color choices for the dress. Note: The belt texture does not change but it’s so nicely done why would you want to change it?

Sizes Included

• Maitreya
• Belleza Isis, Freya, Venus
• Slink Hourglass & Physique
• Tonic Fine & Curvy

My necklace is a free gift from Telsiope Couture at the Mid-season Mystery Fair & Hunt, Just click on the gift. Named the Honey necklace it’s one that will become one of your favorite go-to necklaces you can wear with just about anything.

\0/ More Hair

Hands down No_Match is one of the best stores to get hair (in my opinion). No_Desire Halloween Edition is the October group gift that is perfect for Halloween. You get four color versions: red/black, black/red, black/white, white/black. I chose the red/black version today. The No_Match group has a join fee of $50L. It’s money well spent if you hoard hair as I do. You get access to an entire room of group gifts plus fairly regular gifts and access to sale of the month hair.

Now go forth and spooky with it!

Meow – You’ve Reached Tech Support

I confess. I had to buy this top because it has a cat on it. Not just any cat but a bonafide tech support cat. Maybe he can fix some of my computer issues. It’s totally worth a try. In real life my kitty just loves to walk across or even sit on my laptop. He types some long bizarre messages and sends them but I have no idea what he’s telling everyone. You know cats like techies have a language all their own that us mere humans aren’t privy to understanding.

Weekly Limited

The Weekly Limited Sale runs from Saturdays at 12:00 noon until the following week OR until the limited number of 100 copies of the L$50 LIMITED item have sold out, or when the next item goes up for sale the following FRIDAY at 12 NOON SLT– whichever comes first. The group is free to join and there are often gifts from the participating designers. It’s an easy way to discover new designers.

Currently there are 62 copies of the super cute crop top – Tech Support Cat at Tastic. Because it’s a limited edition it only comes in the color black. Its easy to pair with just about any pants, shorts, or skirts you might have.

Simply the Best!




“Ooh, you’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met”

I’d like to thank my family, friends, and everyone in SL for bestowing this honor upon me. I mean, how special is it to be the “BEST” at anything or whatever. The competition was fierce as you can see from the bruises and scratches on my face! Somehow I prevailed and emerged the winner! Here’s a hot tip for you – You too can be the best! I’ll explain it all below.

Another Anniversary

The current round of The Warehouse Sale celebrates its’ Second Anniversary. Aline did a post about it here. As you well know, that means gifts! There are bunches and bunches of them.

The Sweet Life

Ahhhh, sweet, sweet watermelon! One of the best treats on a hot summer day. I can still hear the fruit truck vendor speakers calling out “Watermelon – red to the rind!” You just HAD to buy one. Here in Louisiana we have at least one Watermelon Festival to honor the deliciousness. I don’t know anything about the watermelon eating habits of the folks in the northern climes but the southern folks love it.

Juicy & Delectable

A few days ago I donned my hunting gear and set out to scour the grid for prizes. I’ve got to tell ya there are some sweet prizes out there. Blink2Wink is currently participating in both the Beached Bunny Hunt 12 & Cheeky Monkey Hunts “Life’s a Beach 2‘ Hunt”. Finding both hunt items brings you the tres cool (as in beating the heat cool) Watermelon top & skirt for only $1L each! How can you pass this up? It’s totally summery! As you can see below there are sizes for many mesh bodies.

Blink2Wink is one of our Fabulous Designers and often sets out gifts for FabFree. So please visit the store and support the designer.
