You heard it here first, fellas. Tucked away between all those super gifts for women from the FabFree designers at Headquarters are some great things for guys. This is just a quick post to show you two of the men’s gifts you can pick up there, plus a great free group gift skin.
The skin I’m wearing in both pictures is Elijah (Tone 5//Beardy). It’s one of eight skintones in a a free group gift for men from Aeva/Heartsick . Included in the pack are the tones shown below, some of which come in both bearded and clean-shaven, plus the option to show the teeth as both a tatoo layer overlay or an alpha layer on the lips. All of the skintones are bald so that you don’t have to worry about a hairbase peeking out from under your regular hair.
First off at FabFree Headquarters is a mesh jacket and tee from GoodVibeZ. There’s great pocket detailing on this jacket which gives you room for your car keys, cell phone, or any of the other stuff you need to carry around with you. The gift box gives you the choice of a plain tee or the patterned one shown here. The hat and hair in the picture are from sf design do not come with the gift. The baseball cap is not free, but the “hat hair” in several different hair colors is free at sf designs and is what you need for wearing hats when your regular hair just won’t fit inside.

This next men’s Headquarters gift from is from FABOO. This pair of Hawaiian print board shorts arrives just in time for the long warm weather beach season in Second Life. You could wear then surfing, but frankly they work just as well for lying in a hammock.
FINALLY – a day off! I’m actually supposed to be taking Serena out for her Rez Day, but I thought I’d spend a little time relaxing at the beach first. Before heading out, I picked up these cargo shorts and tank top, the Men Only Hunt 3 gift from 22769. This hunt runs until May 31st, and all items are free. And you know how hard it is to find good free stuff for men!
Speaking of free, I’m wearing the new group gift eyes from IKON that Love showed you earlier today. Yes, guys can wear them too! All of my jewelry was also free; my earring and rings are gifts from GABRIEL (free to join), and my bracelet is a group gift from Chop Zuey (350L to join). My flip flops were not free, but are on sale for 30% off until May 5th at Slink. In fact, everything except hands and feet are on sale, so if you’ve been waiting to pick up a new pair of shoes, now’s the time!
Oh, one more thing: Katey Coppola of Glitterati Poses celebrated her birthday on May 1st, and is giving a gift to all of us! For a limited time, you can join the FREE Glitterati VIP group (not to be confused with the not-free, 500L, VIP group), click the gift board, and get 150L in store credit. If you happen to be a member of the 500L VIP group, or feel like joining, you can hit the other gift board and get 500L in store credit. So take your pick! But hurry – Katey said the gifts would only be out for “a few days,” whatever that means. And who doesn’t need a new pose or two? :-D
With all the new ladies here at FabFree, I thought maybe we could use an infusion of testosterone. So I made an “executive decision” and declared Friday to be GuyDay. It’s still Friday where I am, so I can just squeak this one in under the wire. :-)
My outfit today is made up of a variety of freebies, group gifts, and one very good deal. First, the good deal, which is this mesh sweater and t-shirt by Kauna that Serena picked up for me at this month’s Collabor88. For 288L, you get 5 different colored cardigans, with 5 different colors of t-shirts. You can mix and match the sweaters and t-shirts, or even wear the t-shirts without the cardigan, if you choose. So that’s… what… about 29L per item? Not free, but not a bad deal, either. All items come in standard mesh sizing. You can’t have too many t-shirts and sweaters, can you?
Now, the freebies: these mesh jeans are the current group gift from [meshTheory]. The group is 150L to join, but there are quite a few gifts for both men and women out, and a new gift is available each month. My hat/hair is this month’s group gift from SF Design (100L to join). Both the hat and the hair are color change (and resizeable), so there’s sure to be something for everyone. These awesome mesh sneakers are a group gift from BalkaniK 2.0 (free to join), and come in 7 different colors/designs. Finally, my leather bracelet is a group gift from RONSEM (free to join).
Serena decided that this would be a good day for me to go outside and clean up the yard, so here I am… stalling. For starters, the snow is starting to melt, and the ground is a sludgy mess. Plus, it looks like the dogs have left some “presents” around for me to clean up. So basically, it’s a mess out here. Thank goodness I have my new Wellies… at least, they were new when I put them on. Anyway, these awesome, mesh boots are the latest group gift from SF Design (100L to join), and come in clean as well as dirty versions. My clothes – pants, jacket, and hat – are the current group gift from Ydea (free to join). They come with a pair of shoes, but I didn’t want to get them all muddy out here.
Can you believe I got this skin for 1L? That’s right – I picked up Mikael Warface Milk from P E A U on the Marketplace for 1L. And my eyes are a free, wearable demo of Insufferable Dastard mesh eyes; buy the box on the counter for 0L.
I guess I’ve stalled for long enough now. Off do do battle with the great outdoors!
The Halloween skin madness has begun with several top skin designers releasing special edition skins for this time of year! These won’t last long though and many of them are group gifts so snag them while you can. Now is the perfect time to get a great deal on a fantasy or vampire skin!

My pose and the bloody heart in my hand dripping are new from HISpose and you can get it for yourself for just 50L! The colorful underwear I am wearing are the jock straps in the fat pack with socks from <Lash-Ware> and it’s another great deal at just 50L.

The NEW Panty Raid Hunt has begun! Originally the Panty Raid Hunt was organized with 50+ stores and I was so looking forward to it, however it was cancelled. Fortunately Saucey Sinister saved the day and re-organized this hunt! It is on a much smaller scale now with just 15 stores, but they are some really fantastic designers and are offering up some great gifts! In this post I will be showing you all 15 prizes, but they are not in order… If you’d like to see a complete list in order, you can visit the Official Blog here -> http://dollypop.blog.com/2012/09/18/panty-raid-hunt/.
9. ::WetCat:: Panty Raid Couples Pose – http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Etherea/42/214/24 – The photo above displays the Panty Raid Couples Pose that you can find by locating the panty icon at Wet Cat. It includes the bat and the panties. Thank you Kyle for posing with me, and putting such effort into your outfit – cracked me up! (Kyles credits are at the bottom of this post).
Another thing I wanted to mention is that Elikatira is having a HUGE 70% off sale until October 1st, 2012. I own several Elikatira hair styles and pairs of shoes/boots, however that didn’t stop me from going back for more! In this post, I’m wearing all kinds of Elikatira hairstyles (some mesh, some non-mesh), and also a free gift Hair called Say available in the entire colour line. (shown in the photo below). TP NOW TO ELIKATIRA!
2. Sparrowtree Studios Poses Fenetre D’Affichage – http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sanctuary%20Point/190/133/2000 – The Sparrowtree Studio Poses store has a great pose box with three poses as their PRH gift. I have used it in the next three poses, to show all three of them.
Thanks everyone for helping with the midnight mania boards at Travellers! They finally locked down and I headed out to a jazz club in Downtown NYC to show off these two flashy suits. I think they both look stunning on the dance floor. Both suits come with the matching fedora and elegant shoes. Each one is on a midnight mania board and requires 50 slaps to lock down. You have to be in the Travellers group to slap them, but it’s free to join.
My Ronnie Sunglasses are the new group gift at SF Design and features a menu where you can change the color of the frames and lenses. This group has a 100L fee to join, but there are new group gifts every month. My Etoile Noir earrings are a group gift from Chop Zuey and I love how the diamonds shimmer and sparkle. This group has a 350L fee to join, but there are 2 gifts available at a time and new ones are added more than once a month. In fact, if you want these earrings you better hurry before they are swapped out for a new gift!
What a beautiful summer day outside. I think I will go for a swim and then work on my tan. The newest group gift from VERVE for men is the Benicio Pure II skin in 3 tones w/ included shape (not shown). The tone I am wearing in this top picture is Sunblush and in the bottom picture I am wearing the Tan tone. My red and blue swim trunks are a group gift from SF Design and includes a mesh towel to wear on your shoulder (red towel not shown).
It costs 111L to join the VERVE VIP group, and 100L to join the SF Design group. Both groups promise regular gifts only for group members, so it’s always a good idea to join and start getting the freebies!
My eyes are a hunt gift from from Amacci for the Menstuff Hunt and can be found at #144. The Menstuff hunt is free, runs until Sept 3rd, and does not require a group to join. I will be blogging lots more Menstuff gifts this week. So stay tuned!
Ah, that’s much better, nothing like suntanning on the beach after a refreshing swim. Have a nice day everyone!

Skin Addiction Showcase opened today and is filled with lots of goodies. The event is very refreshing and open, with trails and paths that lead to fantastic skins. One store featured at Skin Showcase is HUIT. I have never heard of HUIT and was thrilled to find a group gift skin (shown above). The Skin Addiction tag must be activated to receive the group gift skin. The beautiful Alice skins are a featured skin from HUIT at the event. I have fallen in love with the subtle girl next door quality of these skins.
