This One’s For the Bloggers

To the Photographers and Bloggers!

It’s about time I showed some love to all the amazing bloggers and photographers out there. You know you all inspire me to do better… I just love browsing Flickr and checking out everyone’s pictures! I have three cute freebies today for all the bloggers and photographers of SL to enjoy.

Posin’

I have been working on setting up a small photo studio for myself so I was looking for the perfect pose stand. I was tearing my hair out trying to find the perfect one! I found a great little pose stand from Shanti tucked away in my inventory. This stand is free, and you will find it at the front of their store on the wall cubby in a small little box. No group is needed for this little freebie. The pose stand is no copy, so be careful not to lose it! Make sure to rezz the gift on a sandbox or on your land. Once you have it opened, just rezz it at your place, click “edit”, and then “drag” animations into the contents menu of the pose stand. I was able to add ALOT of my poses to it, so this is going to be very useful for my blogging ventures! I used the Shanti pose stand to create the photographs in my post today in my new studio.

an lar [poses]

Some of the poses I loaded up into the stand are from an lar [poses]. They have many freebies on their Marketplace. I have been known from time-to-time to spread the news of these freebies to any blogger friends I meet. They are so great! The pose I am wearing today is from the free Ellie Series. FabFree coverage of more free poses from an lar [poses], which are all still available HERE, can be found in the following posts by my fellow bloggers and myself (check our credits to see where the poses come from):

• Nope! The Christmas Tree Ain’t Going Down Yet! by Caroline Walker
• You Make Me Feel Like Dancing by Creola Deledda
• Baby Shark by Bunnie Francis
• Chilly by Caroline Walker
• Sleek Style by Jacx Broom
• Classic Hottie by Jacx Broom
• Here Comes the 4L Bride! by Desi Stockton
• Halloween’d Out by Caroline Walker

The “Flames of Love” Backdrop

Finally, the backdrop behind me is another freebie at Shanti. Just head to the front of the store and pick it up in the little yellow bag. No group join is required for this one! It’s so pretty! It has a glowing hear in the background with lovely purple patterns and shine. Radiant!

Have fun, FabFree!

Gargoyle Queen

Hey fabbies,

I’ve been delving into the world of geneology in my real life.  Fascinating stuff, really.  Especially for a girl who was adopted and never knew her heritage growing up.  Turns out I am mostly British, Irish and Scottish (DNA), which may explain my love of castles.  Speaking of castles, check out my new buddy.  He may look scary but he is really just one of those gargoyles from Notre Dame voiced by Jason Alexander (You know, George from Seinfeld).  He says “Ooh La La“.  Still, you don’t meet a guy like him every day.

Ok for reals, this is another of those amazing pose props from Le Poppycock (75L a play Nextup!).  I tell ya’ she has got some mighty fun stuff.

My dress is a group gift from UNA that comes in a fatpack of colors as a free group gift.  The group there is 50L to join but she has a plethora of goodies for you on the wall for your small join fee.  This dress fits:

• Maitreya
• Ebody

Ah well, my eyes are mad at me for staring at this screen for far too long today, so I suppose it is time to come down from my belltower and post this.

Takin’ it to the Streets

Tis just me gang,

Sneaking in for a post.  Ohhhhh gollygosh, it’s been a crazy rl time for me.  Real life job stuff has had me on my toes the last week or so, coming to a head tomorrow (in a good way, hopefully!)  So I didn’t forget about y’all!  Just scrambling to keep up!  You know when you have those waves of time where you know if you can just get done with A, B and C, you can regroup and refocus?  I’m trying to get those things done now and hopefully by this weekend, be able to breathe again.

Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine sadly rages on.  Many of the designers have been creating wonderful items so that we can show our support for the poor people of Ukraine.  I’ve got a couple more to showcase for you today so let’s get on with it.

This super cute and colorful top is a find on marketplace for 25L by Morph Studios.  It fits:

• CLASSIC XXS-L
• TONIC CURVY / FINE
• EBODY CLASSIC / CURVY
• LEGACY
• KUPRA
• MAITREYA
• SLINK HOURGLASS / PHYSIQUE
• BELLEZA FREYA/ ISIS / VENUS

This pose is another cute marketplace find and it also comes with a pose for two people, so they’ve gotcha covered whether you are posing alone or with a friend.  It is made by Chocolate Cake (which sounds good right about now!) and will cost you absolutely nothing (aka free!).

My face tattoo in Ukraine Colors is a gift from Carol B, I found it on market also for free.

Lastly, my fellow protestor in the back is a 10L find also on market by Salmagundi (I just like to say that out loud!).  He is copy so you can turn him into an entire crowd if you please.

I Need a Pig Here!

Hey gang!

This outfit reminded me of a modern sort of Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland.  See how she sits surveying her royal domain?  Wouldn’t you like to play Red Queen too (Off with their heads!!!)?  I’m here to tell you how!  Just put your feet up on your pig, call in your fat boys, grab a dwink and lets go!

The Sexy Red and Black Dress

I found this dress at a shop called Mia Styles.  It is a free group gift and the group is free to join.  It fits:

• Lara
• Freya
• Slink

Remember, You Can Tune a Piano But…

Now the pose and the piano come from Le Poppycock, where a lot of us have been stalking lately, because she literally has a room of Next Up machines to play with more cute and fun poses than you can shake a stick at! (pictures herself standing in the room shaking a stick at the machines but finally giving up)  The machines are all 75L or less a play (this one is 75L) and one of my very favorite things about these poses is that you can use them anywhere, because you wear the prop and it poses you, so you do not have to rez them! (does happy dance!)  So am I wearing the piano or is the piano wearing me?  One of life’s great mysteries my friends, but whichever way, it works like a charm!

Did you eat my tarts???

Let Me Take You Down….

Hello loverly faboos!

Spring is coming my darlings!  It really, truly is!  I cannot emphasize how *glad* I am that warm weather is beginning to creep in on us.  With the Ides of March past and St Patty celebrations happening everywhere, even the fashions are shouting spring!  (if er, clothing could talk, that is!) (perhaps its best clothing can not talk… o.0)

I found this stunning little dress at the TWE12VE Event, it is a 12L item from Emerald Couture, who blesses us with lovely creations in every season.  I knew I needed this dress the moment I saw it.  And for 12L, well as I like to say, you sure can’t beat that with a stick! This adorable dress fits:

• Classic
• Fit
• Freya
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Slink & Hourglass
• Venus

It also comes with sure cute matching shoes, not shown in the photo.

Now, it’s not just the clothing bursting out spring, but the poses as well.  Amitie has more of their fabulous poses for you at the Arcade, all Boho Spring inspired (this one is called Strawberry Fields) – which is right up my alley!  Each pose is only 50L a play and they are one cuter than the other!

Peace For Ukraine

Here at FabFree we have all been hoping for peace for Ukraine. It is my hope that peace can be achieved in this war. For this reason, I am holding a sunflower to stand with Ukraine and for peace!

Generosity

The creators of Second Life have generously set out free gifts to support Ukraine. I found about 184 totally free gifts on the MP dedicated to the cause, which you can get by clicking here.

The free gifts I am showing today are:

• A pose for male and female avatars that includes a globe of the world and a sunflower prop from Hazeel Poses, which can be bought for 0L here.
• 2 heart bracelets with the Ukranian flag on it, which you can purchase on Moody Designs’ Marketplace here.

In solidarity,

Hope for Healing

Hey, FabFree! Long time no see. I’m going through a rough patch health-wise, but hopefully I’ll be back to the full swing of things soon.

In the meantime, I have a cute little post about the FabFree St. Paddy’s Day Hunt. I just love the FabFree hunts! They give me that extra push of motivation to get the blogs out, and who can say no to a FabFree event? Not me! The adorable rainbow and shamrock heels I have on are a free hunt prize from Grumble on the new hunt.

Sizes Included

• Legacy
• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

More Goodies

I also have a couple more gifts to show you today that completes my cute little March outfit.

• The great hairstyle is a group gift at Yomi. This is an older gift but I thought it deserved to be featured again because it’s so beautiful! Their group costs 100 L to join and they have other gifts waiting for you there.
• My cute pose is from a free pose pack on the Marketplace by Overlow poses. Great animations here!

Enjoy, Fabbies!

Marketplace Hunter

I’ve been doing a lot of Marketplace freebie hunting lately… mostly because I’m just too tired to come online lately and go shopping. Sad, I know. But one of the perks of this recent trend is that I’ve found so many cool sales as well as some freebies on the MP!

Glow!

Glow has a load of free poses on the Marketplace. There’s a tonne, as everything on their MP store is completely free! These are great gifts for bloggers and photo lovers alike! I’m not sure how long these will be available, so scoop them up now.

Can you spare 10 Lindens?

Going back to those sales I mentioned, I have two items I found today for sale on the Marketplace for only 10L each:

• This amazing ice crown is currently on sale for 10 L at Pure Poison, available only on the Marketplace. This item is amazing with how detailed it is! It comes with a colour hud to change the flowers and other parts of the crown.
• My lovely lipstick is from another 10L sale item, which is a fatpack of lipsticks by Synnergy. You can purchase it on the MP here. It’s a lovely set! This lipstick applier works with Lelutka Evolution & EvoX heads only.

Winter Feels

Finally, my striking eyeshadow is the latest group gift at Pout! This comes from an eyeshadow set in different colours with unique patterns on them. You can grab this freebie at the Pout! mainstore when you join their free group gift. These shadows come in an HD makeup applier that only works on Lelutka EvoX heads.

See you soon, FabFree!

Wintry Fun Deals (and more snowball fights!)

Hey gang!

I’m still out here being the trouble maker that I am.  Mainly because I found *the* most funnest (its a word!!!!!  lol) thing ever!  Fluffy Stuff has, well, basically a snowball fight that you can buy and it’s still on sale from SoKawaii Sunday yesterday for only 65L!  Not only does it give you some cute poses, but when you go into mouselook and aim, you can throw snowballs at things and people and anything!  There was no one around so Santa got hit quite a few times.  I really got sidetracked playing with this.  Lots of fun!

I’ve also still been stalking The Arcade, where I got another pair of these super cute fluffy boots from Gild (mens and women sizes, one size fits each) for only 50L a play and also this awesome jacket and leggings by Amias, which is 75L a play.  I’m wearing the Maitreya size.

Again, time sensitive so I can get y’all that awesome sale at Fluffy Stuff.  Not sure how long it will be up for though, so if you want some wintery fun (it really is!) run over and grab this while it’s on sale!

Time to Sparkle & Shine!

Hey gang,

it’s that time again, time for another Shop & Hop (and our inventory can burst a few more seams, eh?).  I got a sneak peek today and oh the wonders you will find when you go there tomorrow!  I’ve got a couple of goodies to show you that I found.

I was going to take over the world but I got distracted by something sparkly.

We Fab Free Girls simply cannot say no to sparkly stuff.  The grid seems just loaded with sparkly stuff lately and I’m just loving it!  Now on to my Shop & Hop Winter Sparkles.

First this super sparkly dress from Son!a Edge. It comes with a materials HUD so you can sparkle to your hearts content.  It is free, no group needed (like all the shop and hop Christmas gifts).  It fits:

• Kupra & Bimbo
• Legacy & Perky
• Maitreya & Petite

My other wonderful sparkly goody, which I bought by accident for 50L but I am so glad that I did (I got click happy on things that looked like gift boxes… it happens!  Right?) is from Fashiowl, and has some cute snowglobe poses and these awesome sparkler poses.

Lastly this backdrop which makes me feel like I stepped into an old fashioned Christmas card is from irrISIStible and it too, is a free gift.

Ok gang, I have piles of things to still go through!  You will too!  Remember The Winter Shop & Hop opens officially tomorrow!

Sparkily yours,
