I REBEL

Hello There Fab Free’rs! It’s true, in my heart of hearts I am really super nerdy. I doubt that comes as much of a surprise! All the same when I saw the latest gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members from Eclectic Stars, you better believe I snagged it quick. This Star Wars themed v-neck tee has the Rebel symbol and the phrase “I Rebel” in yellow. I really like this casual top on so many levels, not just for the obvious Star Wars reference, though that’s a big plus in my book. This cute top from Eclectic Stars is FREE to all Fab Free group members. It comes in several mesh sizes, and has an alpha layer for non mesh avatars. Don’t forget to wear you Fab Free group tag when you head over to Eclectic Stars to pick up your FREE gift.

Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), EBody, TMP, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), FitMesh (XS – L) *Apha Layer Also Included

Nerd Glasses

Alright, I know it’s a huge cliche to suggest that to be nerdy you should wear glasses or that wearing glasses is nerdy but come on, these are cute! They also are technically a mens gift from BlankLine. I happened across these FREE basic black glasses while surfing through Flickr. They come with resize scripts for easy fitting. To get your pair head over to BlankLine (if you land in the “Mens Department” you’re in the right spot) and there’s a BlankLine group joiner right at the landing spot. The BlankLine group is FREE to join. Just above the BlankLine group joiner is the gift vendor for these adorably basic glasses.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Twi’lek Pru

Hello Fab Free, it’s mid-week, and the weekend is near! For those of you that read the blog often or even recently, you’re already aware of my love of Star Wars. Needless to say the current round of The Fantasy Gacha Carnival has me going gaga, so much so that my first post featuring items from the event was just not enough. If you are unfamiliar with Star Wars and the characters, the above photo shows Pru dressed as a Twi’lek slave. Twi’leks are one of the many humanoid races in the Star Wars universe, and a favorite of mine.

DeviousMind out-did themselves in my opinion with their slave silks gacha at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival. These silks come in a wide array of colors and there are size options for default avatars, the Maitreya Lara body, Slink Physique, and Slink Hourglass. These gorgeous silks include all parts shown, the arm and leg cuffs, pasties, dancer silks, and chest piece. Additionally, there are rare sets that include a color change hud and exclusive color options. The headpiece is also one of the rare gacha prizes, and it includes a color change hud so you can easily match the Lekku to your skin. The DeviousMind gacha is just 75 lindens per play. I love that you can score the full silks set at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival with just a single play. This set could easily be worn in other fantasy role play genre’s as well.
I know you’ve seen this gorgeous group gift skin from Lumae on the blog previously in Glimmer’s post here, I just couldn’t help showing it again. Not only is this full skin lovely on, it’s perfect for helping me create this Twi’lek look. Just a reminder, this group gift from Lumae is FREE to all group members. In this generous gift, you’ll get the system skin, as well as all available appliers and options. Currently, the Lumae group is FREE to join as well. So if you haven’t picked it up yet, you’ll want to grab this skin while you can!

I sincerely hope you enjoy this fun fantasy look as much as I do! Here are the details.

Jedi Fabulous

I won’t lie, I’ve been seriously geeking out about the current round of The Fantasy Gacha Carnival. For me it doesn’t get any better than the nerdy goodness of a Game of Thrones versus Star Wars gacha festival. Yes, you read that right. Now as much as I love Game of Thrones, in my world, Star Wars ultimately wins me over. Maybe it’s because I have a lot of nostalgia attached to Star Wars. Either way, there are a lot of lovely things to be had on both sides.

It was tough to decide what to show first, so I took a step back from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival and let my hair decide. Little Bones has put out their first ever Midnight Mania Board. This pretty center part long hairstyle is the current MM board prize, and it includes an exclusive color hud with 8 “Natural” and 8 “Unnatural” hair colors. You’ll need to join the Little Bones group to participate in the Midnight Mania, which has a one time join fee of 100 lindens. The join fee is completely worth it, Little Bones is notorious for fairly frequent group gifts, and now the addition of their Midnight Mania. If you’ve held out on joining, now’s the time to get in and take advantage of this great group and awesome brand.

Now, back to the Star Wars inspired finds I gathered at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival, well most of them. First, this awesome All Terrain Recon Transport vehicle by Sushi. Yes, this cool wearable vehicle came from a gacha! I managed to score the BB8 version of this vehicle, which is one of the many commons available. To ride the vehicle you simply right click on it in your inventory and choose “add” to avoid detaching any attachments you may be wearing. You’ll then want to set your avatar to fly and you’ll see the ATRT’s legs start moving. I had to fly down a little to get back on the ground while still in fly mode. This too-cool gacha is just 75 lindens per play at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival.

Next the top and pants Pru is wearing are both from the Moon Elixir gacha. This gacha includes a full set of female “Scavenger” clothing in two variations, with several color options, as well as separate machines depending on what mesh body you do or do not wear. Clearly inspired by the uniquely Star Wars fashion universe, I was not at all disappointed in the fit or look of these items. I also think they are versatile enough to be worn outside the realm of fantasy role play. The Moon Elixir gacha is also 75 lindens per play at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival.

When traveling the Star Wars universe you might want to have a weapon handy. May’s Soul has a weapon gacha at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival that has everything from light sabers to guns. The weapons are highly detailed, wearable items. I picked up this bright green light saber from the May’s Soul gacha machine at just 50 lindens per play. The pose I used for the above photo holding the light saber is from another gacha at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival. The Poseidon booth at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival is stuffed full of static poses inspired by the weaponry of Star Wars. The poses do come with prop weapons as well, I just chose not to use them. You can get the Poseidon Poses for just 50 lindens per play as well.

Needless to say, I had a lot of fun putting this look together with all these great Fantasy Gacha Carnival finds! I hope you enjoy it too.

Sith Happens

There comes a time in everyone’s Second Life when you have to sit down, enjoy some popcorn, and watch the drama unfold, because Sith happens! Seriously, we have all had one of those moments. In light of the drama that happens in SL, Roawenwood put out this fun popcorn bag as their current FREE group gift. This popcorn has a male and female sitting pose, along with a popcorn-munching animation. To get this fun gift, join the FREE Roawenwood in-world group and check past notices.

While sitting back and enjoying your popcorn, you might want a few pillows to prop yourself up. Get comfy and enjoy these “Priestess” pillows by BYRNE. They are a FREE gift at the May round of Create Your Own Tarot. There’s no need to join a group, just stop by the BYRNE booth at CYOT and pick them up. You’ll also find a mesh t-shirt gift for the guys!

So I’m sure you caught me being “punny” earlier with my Sith happens joke. The Star Wars nerd in me couldn’t help herself. Apparently there is an equally punny side to the Que Bella designer as well, considering this “Sith Happens” mini tee is the Que Bella contribution to the Light Side vs. Dark Side Hunt.  This cute top comes in standard system layers and includes several appliers for meshy parts. The hunt is FREE, and you’re searching for a cookie, ’cause everyone knows the Dark Side has cookies. 😛

Also part of the Light Side vs. Dark Side hunt are these great wedge heels from Babygirls. I like how at first the pattern looks like an obscure argyle, then when you look closer, tie fighters! Like the top, these shoes are FREE and, again you’re looking for a cookie! The hunt ends June 4th, so you have a little time to score these great shoes. They are meant to be worn with Slink Mid feet.

Here are the details, Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

Fab Free Photo Challenge Submission – Let me show you my Tauntauns

Well hello there everyone! So this post is a little bit more about myself than some of the others. Don’t get me wrong, there are some awesome freebies and cheapies to be had also, not to worry! This month’s photo challenge was to depict yourself with your SL pets. Well, in my many years in Second Life, I’ve had man virtual pets, cats, dogs, fish, even horses. Still, those are all pets I could have or even have had in my First life. That got me thinking, if I could have any pet, what would it be. Well, I’ll tell you, I’d have a darn zoo of both real and imagined creatures! lol One thing most people might not know about me is just how dorky I really am. So, I’ve decided to let my geekiness shine through.

I chose Taun Tauns as my Second Life pets. Yep, here I am a modern-day Twilek complete with pretty blue skin, thanks to La Petite Morte, perfectly matching nails from {ZOZ}, and even the Lekku on my head from SDS. At first I spent a lot of time trying to figure out an “authentic” looking Twilek outfit. Something a character in the Star Wars stories might wear. Then it occurred to me that if I dressed up like a Twilek and posed with my little Tauntauns, I wouldn’t really be showing myself, just a character. So here I am, part Twilek, part Pin-up, part tatoo’d freak,  fashion-obsessed super geek and I love it!

Since this post is also about my pets, are these Tauntauns not just freakishly cute!? Okay, maybe only my fellow Star Wars nerds will think that as I do. lol So if you fall into that category, these are a MUST HAVE, especially considering they are FREE! Yep, free, and you get all four versions in the same purchase. In addition to the four types, each one comes in a stand-alone version and a hold-able version.

Wanna know where to get everything, and more about what I’m wearing? I thought you might. Here are the details, Enjoy, and may the Force be with you!

Another event especially for those who love their implants has started. This event leaves nothing to the imagination, appropriately titled “Boobs, Butts, and Beyond” you can find anything and everything for all your parts! While browsing the many participating vendors, I came across a few that offered free or almost free gifts. Who doesn’t love that?! I managed to pick up a nerdishly-sexy dress from PixyStix, a cute outfit from Sugar & Cyanide, and an adorable tote from Perch. Feeling like I was on a roll, I peeked around in Little Bones, and sure enough they have a new Group Gift out as well. The gift is a cute little bob-style hair that comes with a color change HUD.  Last but not least, for days now I”ve been meaning to show you yet another SL Frees and Offers Gift.

What the FRUK !?!

I’ve been telling my friends about these shirts for awhile because I’ve been excited about them since I found them, and since my philosophy has always been that you can’t go wrong with a t-shirt and jeans, I fell in love with these shirts right away and the fact that besides the freebies, each shirt is priced at L$100 hasn’t helped my addiction either. Each shirt is kind of funny and kind of sarcastic and best of all – unisex!

There are four free shirts available, the “Look Don’t Touch” shirt, the Star Wars “I Only Date Rebels” shirt, the shirt with Charlie Sheen’s face (which my pose kind of distorted) and “#winning”, and the Friday shirt.

(I dedicate the last shirt to Carson who said he’d kill me if I sang Friday… at least I didn’t sing?)

The shirts can be found in the three barns across from the Shapeshifters store, two of the barns only have one free shirt and one has two free shirts – each shirt has a red “Free” tag on it.

All shirts found here:

Goodies Galore

Just a few things to brighten up your SL shopping trip on the last Saturday before Xmas.

First off, I was honoured that the very lovely Ayanna Slade of AQUA allowed me to preview her new release today! The Lust dress in silver-white is on offer right now for 1L! I took a picture of me wearing it for Ayanna and she included me in the notice that went out to her group!

Isnt it gorgeous! Its available in other colours at the store too, so don’t forget to look around! There are lots of other offers there too right now and remember to slap that Midnight Mania board! The hair is from Magika and is called Jaime. It is one of the styles that is available in the second floor sale for 10L. The adorable Fa(un)tasy Antlers are an Xmas gift from Needful Things and can be found under the Christmas tree. The Elf Ears are a dollarbie from Buried and the skin is the Happy Holidays Group Gift skin from Curio which can be found by joining the Gala & Rita Design Announcement group and searching notices.

Next The oBscene have put a pack of skins, hair and cute Xmas themed Lingerie in their group notices as an Xmas gift to its members. There are 4 tones including a very pale goth skin, which of course, makes me very happy.

As you all know, I love Pixeldolls and so I took a trip back to their store to show you some of their 10L Sale items. It ended up more sci-fi themed than I intended, but at least if you are an RP’er in SL these might appeal to you.

This is the one of the two Anti Hero Bodysuits called Galaxy. It comes in several layers and it has 3 different lower outfit options including one legged and shorts.

This is the other Anti Hero Bodysuit available. Again this comes in sooo many layers and with different ways to wear it including a halter top and shorts.

This is the Plugsuit in white which is tintable so you can make it any colour you want. There are other shades there which are also tintable, which will give you darker versions of whatever colour you chose to tint it. For 10L a set you could get them all! All of these pictures were taken in the amazing <a href=>Insilico</a> group of sims and are untouched in Photoshop. Just cropped and my name added to them, which is how all of my blog pictures are done.

If you loved Slave Leia in Star Wars then these may appeal to you. They are called “Triple Threat: Escape!” and they are very similar to Leias outfit when she was at the mercy of that nasty old Jabba the Hut!

The broken chain bracelets and the choker come with the outfits too and there are lots of colours to choose from. The skirt is a system skirt, but because there are slits up the sides, it actually works very well and there are bikini bottoms underneath so you don’t have to wear the skirt at all. These outfits may not be new to alot of you around SL, but they are worth a remention as I think they are awesome and for 10L you cannot go wrong.

Next up is another outfit from Pixeldolls that is on offer for 10L, worn with another of the skintones from The oBscene group gift.

Worn with the Jaime hair from Magika and The Fa(un)tasy Antlers Xmas gift from Needful Things.

And lastly, if you are a member of the VIP group of Tuli then you will have recieved a set of gorgeous Eve skins as an Xmas gift from the wonderfully talented and generous Tuli Asturias which as also a preview of her new skins coming soon. If you arent in the group, then you will need to pay a one off fee of 250L to join.. but believe me it is totally worth it and you will also be eligable for further gifts if you stay in the group. Once you have joined you simply check the notices.

You get seven skin tones in the pack, from their gorgeous gothic skin colour to their sumptious dark skin tone, both of which I am wearing here. They also come with 3 eyebrow colour options.

I am wearing skin tone 3 in this close up of the face. The features are just exquisite. The hair worn with these skins is another from the second floor 10L sale at Magika called Dream.

So that should keep you busy for a little while! Happy shopping!
