FF St Patty's hunt Emerald Couture_001

I missed all of the partying yesterday evening. I found this cache of Irish Whiskey sitting there so lonely with no one watching over all of it. What’s a girl to do? Luckily I found an empty stein and set forth on tasting said whiskey. Guess I might have done a wee bit less swilling and more tasting. At least I look perfectly attired in a shade of green (and it’s not the color of my face!).

More from the Hunt

The FabFree St. Patty’s Hunt is running until March 31st so you have time to pick up any items you may have missed. I picked up this cute casual dress at Emerald Couture. It’s the Chun dress with a green texture on white that is reminiscent of the Blue Willow china pattern. It’s not the usual St. Patty’s day textures making it a dress you can wear at any time of the year. The package includes matching shoes making it a no-brainer for me. Some days I despise trying to match shoes. Oh, the best part is that it’s free!

Sizes (Dress & Shoes)

Wearing of Da Green

FF St Patty's hunt Twlsiope Erin 2_001 edited

Kiss me, I’m Irish! Everyone can be Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. The FabFree St. Patty’s Hunt is still on with loads of great prizes. If you need a festive green outfit with shamrocks, pots of gold, and kittycats (that’s not really a St. Pat thing. I just love cats.) I’ve got a scoop for you. Head to Telsiope’s Couture and grab these and you’re ready to dazzle all you meet. Today I’m showing off two of the hunt items from Telsiope’s Couture.

In the pic above I’m wearing the Erin dress. it comes with a texture changing hud containing 5 different textures. I’m sure you can find at least one you’ll like. I opted for a less green version and was able to complete the outfit with a few things I already owned.

FF St Patty's hunt Twlsiope Frida1_001 (1)

I sure hope the parade didn’t pass me by. Seeing the empty beer bottles scattered about I did fear I’d missed it. That was what’s left of the pre-parade party. They sure drink a lot of beer here. This glam dress, Erin, courtesy of Telsiope’s Couture will set you back $1L. I love the way the cat texture is placed on the dress. That kittycat looks so much like my real life cat, it’s freaky!

Sizes
Dress #1

  • Belleza Freya
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • SLink Hourglass

Dress #2

  • Belleza, Freya, Isis, Venus
  • Maitrya
  • SLink Hourglass & Physique
  • Tonic Curvy & Fine

You can still grab these before the hunt ends and stash them for next year.

Hope you Irishness shines tonight!

Feeling Pink

CMH Lindy 1_002_001

Nothing like a walk along the cliffs on a hazy morning to get your blood flowing. I even made friends with a fox! He said, “Oh, you’re a fox of the human kind, aren’t you?” How could I not like him? I bet he doesn’t get all kinds of prizes and gifts like I do. I should be quiet or the next thing I know he’ll be making himself an avatar for SL. This month I’ve indulged in a few of the grid-wide hunts. Today I’m bragging about the pictured dress and shoes I found on the Cheeky Monkey’s “Hollywood Glamour Hunt”.

In the Abstract Pink

My dress evokes spring. The colors remind me of beautiful tulips.  The Pink Silk Shimmering dress & thong comes from the Charity Shop at Harambee Gwassi. I love the abstract texture on this stylish dress. My Ifanna shoes from Lindy Modern & Retro Shoes are not an exact match but the patterns gave me the same vibe. And each item is only $3L! All of the monies raised for this hunt benefit Harambee – Gwassi.

  • Altamura
  • Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus
  • Maitreya
  • Slink HG, Physique
  • Tonic Curvy, Fine

Hotter Than Hades

Kaithleen LB prize_002_001

Many of you are buried under massive amounts of snow but here in the South it’s hot. Wearing a coat or jacket is out of the question as we Southern ladies don’t want to perspire or even worse, sweat! Layers are fine for the night since you may feel a tiny bit of a chill. The heat is on here! Time to spruce up the yard, clean the pool, and boil a huge pot of crawfish and all the fixings. Yum!

More Gifts For Groups

Don’t know about you but I love getting gifts. Being in the FabFree group affords you the opportunity to try products from a variety of designers. Of course it is free to join. If you follow this blog you already know that we are bursting at the seams with FabFree group gifts. The awesome pair of heels I’m wearing are one of the gifts you can find by traipsing over to Yokana (aka YK). Activate your Fabfree tag, click on the vendor and the free fatpack is yours. Included is a hud with 30 texture change options.

Sizes

  • GenX
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Reborn

I recently mentioned that I’d joined the store group at Badgyals. Today I’m wearing the Gold Hoop earrings group gift. Simply join the free Badgyals group and pick up the gifts there. The earrings come in gold and silver. I love the size of these. They say retro to me but are also currently in style. As it’s said, “Everything old is new again.” Sighs, wish it worked for my tired old real life body.

Have a super day gang!

Catting Around

Floyd La Pena BOM_001

Happy Friday night folks! What are your plans for kicking off the weekend? I’ve got a quickie for you this evening. Me, I’m plan on catting around. I was given a folder named “LM worth a  visit” by a friend. One of those landmarks led me to Floyd. If you want more good stuff for your hungry inventory join the free Floyd group. The store has an entire 1 & 1/2 walls of various group gifts including clothing, tattoos, and a number of photobooths as well as a few other types.

Mew, Mew, Mew

I do love this great bodysuit I picked up from the gift wall at Floyd. The La Pena Latex Fit is BOM! And it fit perfectly on my Maitreya body. The BOM is the only option in this gift package. It does remind me of a catsuit hence the ears & claws I used to complete the look. You can wear it in any season You’ll look sleek & sexy in this one chicas. Here kitty, kitty…

That’s it for me folks. Think I’ll go roll around in catnip.

xoxoxo,

I’m a Badgyal Now

Telsiope Anita_001

Don’t you hate waiting for someone? Especially someone who is habitually late. I thought I was going out to dinner but my date is a no-show. I have no idea where I’m supposed to be but he isn’t here. Maybe I should call him with my phone purse. One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy. No answer! Meh . . . At least I look great.

I Got Some Goodies!

I made another trip to The Free Dove today. It saddens me to think it is slated to poof. Over my years in SL I have been there many, many times. If you’re like me each time you’re there you discover something else that catches your eye. I was mostly looking for free items to accessorize my dress. And I also wanted to see what hair styles are available. My excursion was fruitful as you can see. Note: You must join The Free Dove group that is free to join. Here is what I picked up today:

  • Free A&A Astrol Hair with an ombre colors texture change hud. It’s a flexi style and it moves quite well when your avatar does. I also love the color combos on the hud that give the hair a streaked look.
  • Free from My Bags Phone Purse that reminds me of the first cell phones, Back then they were huge, The color on this one is pretty cool. And a big plus is that you don’t have to dive into your purse for your cell phone because it’s right there on the handle.

A New-to-Me Store

I ventured over to BadGyal to check it out. I’d never even heard of the store before someone mentioned it. There are several free group gifts out once you join the free group. I‘m wearing one of the gifts – the Ava Heels Fatpack. Two other group gifts available at this time are 2 pair of hoop earrings in gold and silver. I’ll be keeping an eye on this store.

Time flies when you’re working on a blog post so for now I bid you adieu.

Take Me to the Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras Pic 2023_003

 

“Come on, take me to the Mardi Gras
Where the people sing and play
Where the dancing is elite
And there’s music in the street
Both night and day

Hurry, take me to the Mardi Gras
In the city of my dreams
You can legalize your lows
You can wear your summer clothes
In the New Orleans.” – Paul Simon

Today is Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It’s a huge celebration of fun, family, and friends. One in which you can toss your cares away and you get ready to repent and fast for the forty days of Lent which ends on the Christian holiday of Easter. A plethora of sometimes confusing information resides in the web. Over the eons the fasting period has changed for many. Now most folks come to New Orleans to party on down! I prefer to sit at home and watch the madness on TV.

Get Ready to Partay!

I wanted to find something Mardi Gras-ish to show you. I perused the sales ads for today’s sales and found all kinds of things! WooT! One of the fun parts of Mardi Gras is masking and dressing in costume, the more elaborate or skimpy the better. I do confess that I wore a few of the skimpier costumes in real life over the years, Today I have a mix & match look from several different stores.

My sexy Elven Corpo Top and boots are a steal from Scarlet Fey. Each costs $25L for the 25L Tuesday sale.  Both the top & boots are sized for Legacy and Maitreya. The top also includes a pair of bracers which are not shown.

Then I saw this fantastic skin on sale. Amazonian can be found at dae Boutique for $25L, It is a full body BOM skin with fantastic details on the face designed to fit the Lelutka EvoX Raven head. It is stunning! I don’t do roleplay but i might wear this one for a bit because it is so beautiful!

Hair!! I spend a lot of time cultivating and growing my hair folder. I rarely pass up any sales on hair. No_Match, one of my all time favorites has placed the No_Party style on sale for Hello Tuesday. I was pleasantly surprised to find it marked down to $50L  Each color pack is $25L.Note: The sale is only available at the Cosmopolitan sim.

Here’s a close up for details:
Mardi Gras Pic 2023 closeup_001

For the pose lovers I found several poses and pose packs in today’s 25L Tuesday offerings. My top photo’s pose comes from Reina Photography, a store I often frequent. The {RP} Pole Dancer Scene 1 seemed perfect for a Mardi Gras shoot.  The poster behind me is an older one resting in my inventory for many years. The Mardi Gras poster Fatma that I do not remember where it came from.  I want to briefly share a tidbit about poles during Mardi Gras. Greasing of the Poles is considered by many to be the French Quarter’s official kickoff to Mardi Gras weekend. The Royal Sonesta New Orleans originated the ritual of greasing the building’s support poles as a practical means to deter overzealous revelers from shimmying up to the coveted balcony space. It also makes it extremely difficult to do a pole dance!

That’s it for now dear readers. I’ll leave you with a few links to the a few of the most iconic Mardi Gras tunes.

I Shopped Till I Dropped!

Bold Llama CMH. $35L Sun Panties, C& S shoes bought with credit_001

It’s another lazy Sunday here in SL. I’m resting up for whatever comes along next. You know how us bloggers are. We’re always running off here & there to find goodies to show you. Get ready for what I found in several places earlier today.

I put this outfit together with a $35L Sunday offer, another great hunt gift from The Bold Llama, and a pair of heels with tights from Chic & Shoes. First I want to tell you that current subscribers to Gaall, Chic & Shoes, Vaxxer, & Sweet Temptations can receive $300L of credit to one of the stores. You must already be a subscriber to get the credit. When you see the kiosks/signs at any of the stores you pick the store you want and your credits are there! All credits will expire on February 28th. Sorry but if you aren’t a current subscriber you won’t be able to do it until after February 28th. These subscriber credits come available 2 – 3 times a year from what I remember.

Some of This & That

  • The Bold Llama is participating in  the Cheeky Monkey Hunt Love is All You Need 3 Hunt. My Cherry Bomb tank costs $1L. Sizes included are: Belleza Freya, Isis, & Venus; Ebody; Maitreya; Ocacin; SLink Physique & HG; TMP; Tonic Curvy & Fine; and classic sizes from xs – xl.
  • Dore Papillion Boutique has the Bev’s Panty on sale for $35L Sundays. The only color available at this price is red. Sizes included are: Belleza Freya & Isis; Maitreya; Legacy; & SLink HG & Physique.
  • Chic & Shoes Hilary Heels & Tights are sized only for Maitreya. I purchased these with the $300L credit I mentioned earlier. The cost was $199L so technically I could go and buy another pair of boots or shoes and pay the difference. These come with a color change hud for both the heels and stockings. Where have these been all my Second Life??

If any of these items suit you run out and grab them ASAP.

TTFN,

Cre

Fear the Woods

Telsiope Titi dress2-16-2023_001

HALP! Is there someone behind me? Maybe stalking me? Man. he is a noisy breather; I should give him the name of that sinus surgery place. I don’t want to look back but tell me this. Is he cute? You never know when you’ll meet your soulmate. Hmmm, possibilities.

Could it be the Dress?

I’m probably cuter than the mystery man behind me anyway. My dress today from Telsiope’s Couture is so cute and flirty. The playful Titi dress is a steal at only $5L! It’s a sweet spring dress for the upcoming warmer weather. Yes, I know I’m wearing it in the snow. It’s my apres-ski outfit. Yeah, that’s the ticket!  .

Run, run, run folks!

With a Little Luck

LSB Kissa LB prize 3_001

There are those days when you feel incredibly lucky. It’s that feeling you get when you log in and get a nice prize from the Mania Board you slapped. I had one of those days last week. I made my rounds to slap MM boards. It’s fun to get a package from them. What could be better than absolutely free things? Maybe more free things???

Just the Facts

I wandered over to LSR last week and once there I joined the store group at a cost of $99L. I joined because there are lots of benefits for group members. When you explore LSR look for the back wall with five group gifts, 30 lucky letters, and close by are four Mini Mania boards.. Near the Mania boards are four dollarbie items. And you’ll find a few gifts for non-store groups.

I won this darling outfit, Kissa, from one of the mania boards. Though the top and skirt are tiny they do cover all of your bits. It’s a great outfit for those hot, sweltering days of summer. The color is nude.

Sizes

  • Belleza Freya & Isis
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya/Petite

(P.S.) I camped out by the lucky boards while finishing up this post and my letter came up 8 times!

Meva’s free Shop & Hop gift, the Valentines necklace is perfect for accessorizing this cute number. Because a HUD with a generous number of textures is included I was able to match the studs on the waistband of the skirt. Score!

See ya next time!

Peace,
Cre
