Through Anything

No matter what, my guy and I can make it through anything. Through thick and through thin, through the crashing of planes, the exploding of bombs, a new world regime! Anything at all could happen, and we’d come out on top, and look awesome while doing so. Okay, I admit that was a bit dramatic, but thanks to Second Life we can live through our stories. Thanks to Contraption, DRD, and Birth, we can look the part too!

I do love it when Blue and I find unique, whimsical, and otherwise outside the ordinary items inexpensively or better yet for free in Second Life.  Keep reading for info about each of these fantastic group gifts, and peep the full list of credits and links at the end. Then you can go on your own adventures.

Contraption

The foundation of my look for this post, and Blue’s, is this amazing jacket by Contraption. Not only is it highly detailed, it comes sized to fit both male and female avatars. It also includes a hud that allows you to change the metallic embellishments to gold or silver. This special edition version of the “Atreus Waistcoat” is free to all Le’Homme group members for the month of February. The Le’Homme Magazine group is free to join. You’ll find this cool gift waiting for you at Contraption behind the desk.

Sizes Included: Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni, Slink Physique Male, Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara (+Flat Chest Size), Belleza Freya

DRD

Death Row Designs aka DRD recently put out this cool as hell unisex cap as a free group gift. I love all the individual patches that add the detail of this hat. It comes in black, and navy blue. It’s able to be resized, and can be worn by male and female avatars. To get yours, you’ll need to join the free-to-join Death Row Designs group and click the gift vendor while wearing your group tag.

Birth

Finally, the detailed mandala-like design shaved into the back of Blue’s head just so happens to be a current Mens Stuff Hunt gift available at Birth. The Mens Stuff Hunt is a free hunt that runs until February 29th. This unique unisex hair base prize at Birth comes in 3 styles, each able to be tinted.

More Than Alright

There’s a whole wonderfully weird wild world out there and I’m proud to be living in it, even when things get heavy. To some the crowded city with its miles of pavement might seem bleak. I find the vast concrete jungle to be full of art and adventure, especially when I’ve got my partner in all things by my side. Clothing being an excellent form of artful expression; my corset top and his vest from BYRNE spoke loud of love as we spent the evening together just wandering the streets and exploring the underground of Tokyo Windhill City.

A Waltz into Darkness

Oh hi there Fab Free’rs! I’ve got some awesome group gifts to share with you. In my last post I celebrated the sweeter side of all the love and mush that comes along with Valentine’s Day. For this post I am feelin’ a little sultry, though I think that goes without saying. I picked up the recent group gift at Speakeasy along with the latest group gift at Dead Dollz. I hope you love them as much as I do.

The Dead Dollz Group Gift – If you’d asked me a week ago if I ever saw myself wearing pasties of any kind I would have said probably not. Just goes to show you never know! These pasties with the little hearts are just too pretty. There is of course a matching lower part, so I’ve added a copy of the vendor ad so you can see the gift in full. This gift is fitted for Maitreya Lara bodies only. Included with this Dead Dollz group gift is a color change hud that lets you choose different preset colors for the hearts and the pasties. You can also turn the pastie portion invisible so that only the hearts show. To get your copy you’ll need the Dead Dollz group tag. There is a one time join fee for the Dead Dollz group of 250 linden.

The Speakeasy Group Gift – I love a good full sleeve tattoo. This new group gift at Speakeasy is just that, a good full sleeve that covers from the shoulder to the back of the hand on both arms. This group gift from Speakeasy comes in an Omega applier only. To get your copy you’ll need to join the Speakeasy group. There is a one time join fee of 100 linden, however there are several group gifts currently available.

Let’s Do the Time Warp Again

Hello There Fab Free! It’s good to be here. I feel like I have had such a weird week so far, though I couldn’t tell you what specifically was weird about it. Thankfully I have been able to do some shopping therapy, Fab Free style! Belle Epoque has this cute wiggle dress out as one of their group gifts, and I picked up a beautiful upper body tattoo inexpensively at Speakeasy for a modern pinup look. I hope you enjoy it!

The Dress – I love the mix of retro and modern present in this dress by Belle Epoque. The fabric has an almost latex like shine to it. This fun dress is a free group gift to Belle Epoque group members. The Belle Epoque group has a one time join fee of just 10 linden. This dress comes in a single Maitreya fit only.

The Tattoo – This beautiful floral upper body tattoo is just 50 lindens at the Speakeasy main store. I love how the beautiful roses come around the shoulders and connect in a bow. Also, I think the sphynx kitties near the shoulders are adorable! The tattoo comes in an Omega applier only with 3 opacity options.

No Luck

Hello Hello Fab Free’rs! I missed you!! So I had a little hiccup after the holidays, my laptop decided it no longer wanted to work, so I had to order a new one and wait for the new one to come in. Needless to say the wait is over, and it feels so good to be back. So for my first post of 2019 I have this uber cool face tattoo by Speakeasy and these beautiful snowflake adorned ears by PumeC. So let’s get to it!

The Tattoo – This unisex tattoo is a recent find at Speakeasy. It’s just 10 linden in the store, and is an Omega applier with 3 tones. It covers parts of the face, head and neck. I think it’s a really cool find for all the ladies and gents with shaved or partially shaved heads.

The Ears – In a previous post I mentioned that PumeC would have 3 December group gifts. Two of those gifts are pretty skins. The 3rd December group gift at PumeC is this pair of pierced and stretched ears. I think they might become a new favorite of mine. I love snowflakes and quite a few colder months still ahead. The ears are sizeable, and come with a color/texture change hud for skin, tattoo, and all the little metal bits. The ears are free to all PumeC group members, and the group join fee is 399 linden.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Just a Wish

Happy Friday Fab Free’rs! Did you know that Sn@tch has a new 7Seas Fishing outfit out? I got notice of this gorgeous set the other day and had to try my luck. The skirt alone was enough to grab my attention. However, I have to say I am very much impressed with the way the skirt and the sweater both look on. All the pieces to this very gypsy boho style look are lovey really, even though I chose to show just the skirt and sweater in my photo. First, if you have never been fishing with the 7Seas Fishing rod before I’ll give you a quick rundown.

How to go 7Seas Fishing

If this is your first time fishing, I suggest getting a “casual” fishing rod. You can purchase a casual rod at the 7Seas fishing kiosk near the Sn@tch entrance. There are other rod options, but I only use a casual rod. The casual rod will cost you a one time purchase price of 100 linden. Once you have your rod you can use it forever to fish at any participating 7Seas Fishing area. Now you’re ready to go fish for this outfit!

Moonchild

This “Fish for This” outfit from Sn@tch has several pieces. You can score a complete head-to-toe look. You’ll end up reeling in individual pieces of the outfit one at a time. Items like the skirt and top which come in several sizes will be pulled in by color so all size options are included. When I said several pieces are up for grabs, I meant it. There are 24 pieces total including hair, jewelry, and shoes! There are also system layers for classic avatars. Below is a copy of the vendor ad so you can get a better look at the complete “Moonchild” outfit by Sn@tch. The mesh skirt and sweater both come in sizes to fit Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), and Slink (Hourglass, Physique) bodies.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Hair – Wasabi // Sia Mesh Hair – Basics
Head – CATWA HEAD Koura Bento
Skin –  Essences – Vanya
Face Tattoos – { Speakeasy } : Fear – 1L on the Marketplace
Sweater – 4 Sn@tch Bess Sweater (Slate) – Free 7Seas Fishing Prize / 100L pole required

Vida y Muerte

Hi Again Fab Free’rs! Halloween is so close I can almost taste it. It’s genuinely my favorite time of year, and I am so excited to be able to share with you this delightfully ghoulish group gift from Cureless along with the perfect accessory from CHAIN. I hope you love this festively macabre look as much as I do.

Cureless – Clearly the designer at Cureless is as excited about Halloween as I am. Just a few days ago they sent out a notice announcing this creepy yet beautiful group gift. The gift is this ribbons and roses embellished baby-doll style top with the skeletal torso. It includes a single mesh attachment, and a color change hud to customize the look. At this time the Cureless group is 99 lindens to join, and there are several previous group gifts still available.

CHAIN – Another gorgeous group gift from CHAIN, this linked chain choker reminds me of one I’ve admired at Tiffany’s. It’s a timeless piece that could easily be worn with a casual outfit as well as a formal gown. This group gift also comes with a color change hud with several metallic options so it can match just about anything. The CHAIN Store group has a one time join fee of 100 linden, and there are several previous group gifts still available.
