Well, leave it to me to bring up the rear for the FabFree Photo Challenge (which ends today)! Better late than never, right? Actually, I think I was dragging my feet because I’m sooo embarrassed to show you my old avie pictures. But… since so many of you were brave and showed your “THEN” pictures, I figured I should pony up and do the same. No laughing, ok? Or at least, don’t laugh too loudly! :-P
So yeah… that’s me when I first joined SL in 2010. I was a blonde, only because I’m a blonde in RL, and I thought the point of SL was that we make our avie’s look as much like our RL selves as possible. (HA! No idea where I got that idea.) I’m totally rockin’ the Linden Library hipster glasses… and see that shirt? I was so proud of myself for texturing it myself. Yikes! I wore that SAME OUTFIT for about a year and a half, until I found the Marketplace, and along with it, freebies and dollarbies. By then, I’d grown tired of being a blonde, and started wearing *B.D.R.* dollarbie hairs in the “majestic” color for several months (I have no idea where that red sweater came from, and clearly, I hadn’t found new skin or eyes yet). Shortly after that, I turned myself “ginger,” and the rest is history! :-D
As for my “NOW” picture, I’m wearing a skirt, sweater, and poncho set from Prim & Pixel. It’s not their newest group gift, but I really like the casual, boho feel of it, so I decided to show it anyway. Be sure you pick up the gift on the 2nd floor with all the other group gifts, as there is a non-gift version for sale on the 1st floor. My bracelet is a free gift from B!ASTA, and comes with 4 different gem colors. You’ll find the pink gift box on the front desk.
Be sure you check out the FabFree Photo Challenge Flickr group to see the rest of the fabulous entries! :-)

Of all the posts I’ve done here at FabFree, this one is probably the most like me in RL. The truth is, I’m something of a nerd. So when I heard about the Geeks ‘n’ Nerds fair, you can bet that I rushed over and spent more than a few L’s – and this isn’t even everything! :-D
These great skinny jeans are a new gift from *COCO* Designs, and my sweater is a gift from Prim & Pixel (full credits for what I’m wearing are at the bottom of this post). The poster behind me is a Geeks ‘n’ Nerds gacha prize from Sari-Sari. Since nerds love to read, I’ve surrounded myself with tons of books. And I love my little “Potion Master” doll, which I got from the *~HopScotch*~* gacha at Geeks ‘n’ Nerds. Oh, the tray of goodies was the day 1 advent gift from Sway’s; you can no longer get it for free, but it is available for sale for 75L. If you aren’t doing this fun advent at Sway’s, you really should be! Uh oh, I think my dogs are about to devour my snack… bad dogs!
Chair – {what next} Cubby Armchair (200L for set of 2)
Poster - Sari-Sari OMG!!! Posters! Nerds (50L Gacha @ Geeks ‘n’ Nerds)
Giraffe – StoraxTree Native Giraffe Whimsy Brown Statue
Lamp – {what next} Charlotte Lamp
Books in Basket – fri.day Book Basket (100L @ Geeks ‘n’ Nerds)
Stack of Books – fri.day Gilderoy Book Stack (100L @ Geeks ‘n’ Nerds)
Single Book – *~*HopScotch~* Geek-ucation Gacha Spoilers RARE (40L @ Geeks ‘n’ Nerds)

Doll – *~*HopScotch~* 15 Jammy Dodgers and a Fez Potion Master RARE (75L @ Geeks ‘n’ Nerds)
Treats – Sway’s Tray with Cocoa and Cookies (past advent, now 75L)
This pretty skin is from a new-to-me store called {AIMI}. It is the current group gift (free to join), and will run you 1 whole Linden. It only comes in the tone and eyebrows as shown, but hey, 1L! My nails are a Slink HUD from *~*HopScotch*~*, which you can find at Geeks ‘n’ Nerds for 50L. Eight nerdy patterns are included. ;-)
I finally decorated my office space, and I’ll admit that it’s now my favorite space in the house. My desk (including clutter!) and the Eiffel Tower Marquee are both for sale at Collabor88, but since the current round is almost over, you’d better hurry!
Wall Hanging – Alouette Ctrl Alt Delete Key Rack (129L @ Geeks ‘n’ Nerds)
Lamp – floorplan. Eiffel Tower Marquee (188L @ Collabor88)
Easel – StoraxTree Artistic Endeavors Easel A
Desk – Standby Inc. Huckleberry Desk (288L @ Collabor88)
Another view of my new office. :-) The shelf and stuffs, as well as the Industrial Chandelier, are available at Collabor88. The surge protector under the desk is from Second Spaces at Geeks ‘n’ Nerds. There are two other versions that will make your virtual space look like a fire hazard with lots of wires sticking out (just like my RL office), but I thought they were a little excessive for the one lamp I have plugged in here. I’m sure I’ll find a place for them somewhere else, though! The Mayfair Trunk is a past VIP group gift from {what next}, and you can still find it in the VIP gift room.
NOTE: The Geeks ‘n’ Nerds event closes on December 8th, and new round of Collabor88 will be starting the same day. Hurry on over if you want any of the great stuffs at either of these events! Please also note that slurls to both an event and the store’s main location are provided in the credits; however, if you want an event item, you need to go there to get it while the event is in progress.

I love the “dog days” of summer, when the evenings are warm, the days are shorter, and you know that fall is just around the corner. At least, in SL, that is. Where I live in RL, we typically don’t get a “summer”; it’s just more of the same fog and gloom, day after day after day… I seriously need to pick up one of those SAD lights, pronto! Anyway, Gavin dropped by with Duncan this afternoon, and we had a fun time out in my Persimmon Summer House by Lisp. You can still pick one up today (I hope!) in a variety of colors for 188L at Collabor88. The pink tub of foxgloves by the door is a free gift from La Galleria.
Gavin is wearing Ocean, one of two men’s group gifts available at YDEA. The gift includes the mesh shirt, shorts, and “mandals.” He’s also wearing the “3th Year Anniversary” group gift hair from *Dura*, which comes in a great, big fatpack of colors. Care showed you how this hair looked on the ladies last month, but it works great for the guys, as well! He’s also wearing an earring and bracelet by AIDORU, which you can find as a MENstuff group gift over at the Lounge. As for me, I’m wearing Lazy Summer, a group gift by Prim & Pixel, which includes the knotted top, capri pants, and belt. There is a new gift out now, but you can still find this one and a BUNCH of past gifts on the back wall of the store. Oh, and this fun pose is a dollarbie by Seil Xpression on the Marketplace.
My skin is Cecilia, the August group gift from .::WoW Skins::.. This one comes with and without cleavage, but did not come with appliers this time; however, I was able to use appliers from a previous gift in the milk color to match my mesh hands and feet. My hair is Nana, the latest group gift from Miss C, which also comes in a great, big fatpack of colors (I <3 fatpacks)! My necklace is an oldie, but a goodie, and has been shown here several times by various FF bloggers, but I still love it. You can pick up the Gold Heart Key in 3 sizes at the Energy Club.
I think Duncan is wondering why this post is taking me so long to blog… so I’d best get it finished! 8-O

Whew, what a crazy-busy weekend I had! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m almost glad it’s Monday! Almost. :-?
I took a little time for myself at the beach this morning in this cute, strapless swimsuit, which is a group gift from Prim & Pixel. The P & P group is currently free to join, but will go up to 250L as of 1 July 2013. There are quite a few other gifts out in the store right now, so head over, join the group, and snap them up while the group is still free! You’ll find this swimsuit in the group notices. My jewelry is a “Seraphim Turns Two” birthday gift from Addiction Jewelry. You need to join the Seraphim group to get it, but the group is free to join, and there are tons of other gifts to pick up!
Hey bird, don’t you come near my sand castle!

I was hoping to post this yesterday, but my RL family got busy doing Memorial Day activities, and I didn’t get a chance. Thankfully, this comfy loungewear set is still available as a free gift from Prim & Pixel. Both pieces are mesh, and the HUD-controlled top lets you select an opaque or peek-a-boo look. Many other colors are available for sale in the store, and you can pick up a set in black for $5 as the P&P gift in the B & W Cat Hunt.
The skin I’m in today is from a brand-new, not-yet-open store called Flounce. It seems that Cupcakes has gone out of business, and one of the owners is in the process of opening Flounce. I popped into the store last night, joined the free group, and found this lovely skin in the group notices (4 brow colors are available). There is also a gift bag with a different skin in it set out in the store. Keep in mind that the store is technically not open for business yet, but it’s very kind of the owner to be thinking of us already with gifts. :-)

Oh-My-Lanta, Its officially Halloween! I hope all of you have your costumes and are ready to do your own version of the thriller dance at what ever party you are attending today. I just wanted to provide you with some Halloween goodies that you can add to your decorations, costume, and something you can wear in the wee hours of the morning as you return home.
First, the !-[Love Factory] has a free Spellcaster (Skull and Scroll) and Happy Halloween sign. So if your halloween venue still needs a sign, here you go!
Next Prim & Pixel has this fancy Fuschia Duffle Coat for free, when you go to the store, head towards the back room. The Fuschia Duffle Coat is the only free one. I definitely like the animal print on the pockets, perhaps because I like things on the wild side. This coat will come in handy to keep you warm tonight, especially if you are wearing a sexy costume, but don’t put it too far back in your inventory because the weather is changing and you will need this.
Speaking of showing skin! If you have a costume that needs something extra to help make it more sinister, this halloween inspired skin and Chrome eyes by MIASNOW may do just the trick. I freaked myself out looking into my own eyes!
Lastly, whats a halloween event without taking great pictures to remember the costumes you and your friends wore. Well you need to run on over to GLITTERATI to get Bones the Skeleton and The Coffin for those fun pictures. The Coffin will make for great group pictures and Bones… well how can you resist his sex appeal.

Renee has shown the first 1-20 Finding FabFree gifts, and I will be showing you 21-40 in this post, and Trinket will be up next with 41-60 and Kyle with the men’s items.. First however, In Renee’s introductory post to the Finding FabFree Hunt, she said ” I’ve told you my “Finding FabFree” story. How did you Find FabFree?”, and I thought this would be an excellent time to share my early experiences with Fabulously Free in SL :)
I joined SL in March of 2010, arriving with a group of friends from another game, and I was fortunate to have a couple of friends who were here a few weeks before hand and were able to hook me up with some (what I thought was) decent stuff. Like most noobs of that era, I wore the likes of strappy bling shoes and strutted around quite pleased with my sparkly self. After three glorious months of giggling insanely over “the thriller dance on command” (it is still kind of funny after 2 years lol), and looking like a TOTAL noob, I met a friend who introduced me to the Fabulously Free in SL blog. The first blog I read was a post done by Carson about Garden of Dreams. Since reading that first post, I scanned the blog every day picking up the things the FabFree Bloggers said were must haves and I never thought I’d be lucky enough to be the one writing at Fabulously Free myself a year later! That’s my story – what’s yours?
