Good afternoon, Fab Readers. My post today is going to interest our newer members of the Grid because the more experienced among us have surely already taken full advantage of my finds today. I’m speaking of the 1L Shop at Gabriel. Of course, I am a frequent shopper at Gabriel… it’s something abut the name…. At any rate, I wandered to the back of the main store today to see the newly added 50% Discount area. Excellent deals there, by the way… just none I can show on here for75L or less. However, the 1L shop is a delight. The stock is clearly being rotated through and most of what I found was completely new on the 1L shelves. Like this stunning pinstripe suit I picked out. I do love a good suit. I’ve said it before : Boys have swagger, Men have character… Gentlemen have style.
Also, before I go, I want to offer a hearty welcome to Mr. Korday. Its good to have another gentleman in the mix. Cheers!
Good evening, Fabulous Readers. Like Julianna said earlier, today is 25L Tuesday and there are a ton of good deals and great items. I was pleasantly surprised to se several things for us male types. So, let’s get on with the details.
This is the “Tribus” shirt from Muneriea. It comes with a huge HUD for a choice of twenty colors. The shirt come with a matching pair of trousers. ( Not shown ) The HUD allows you to pick one of twenty colors for those as well. All in all, a good deal for just 25L.
Again as Julianna said, some merchants leave their 25L Tuesday selections up for Tuesday and beyond. But don’t count on it if you need to add this set to your wardrobe.
Good evening and a pleasant Monday to you , FabFree. I hope all of our gentlemen had a chance to make it over to Butterscotch for the free group join and gifts.
Tastic is another new to me designer. The shop is split between men’s and women’s clothing with the ladies side is a bit larger. There are quite a few Lucky Letter boards for the group with just as many men’s things as the women which is great to see. The group is free to join and there are a dozen past gifts available to pick up. Like the mesh insert hoodie I’m showing.
The “Net Hoodie” is just unusual enough to really catch the eye. And I do love to see designers doing more than snapbacks and sweatpants. The only drawback is this particular item does not come with a Belleza Jake size. But I was able to get a good fit with the SLink and some creative alpha-ing.
Hello again, FabFree. I was made aware yesterday of a new shop just for the men. Since this isn’t a common occurrence, I was more than happy to check it out. And I was very glad I did. But first I have to thank the great folks in the FabFreechat group who are the ones who brought this new store to Juli’s attention. She pounced on me the second I got in world and set me to work. ( A tip of the hat to “SB” )
The new shop is Butterscotch and it’s rather tasty as the name may suggest. When I landed at the front doors I had to dodge my way past loads of new shoppers which I hope is a very good sign of the designer. I joined the free group and immediately got a 400L gift card. A note of warning, if I read the signs correctly, this group will become 50L to join at some point in the future. A good reason to hurry over. In addition to the gift card, there is also a group gift. This is the ‘Lucas Henley’. It comes with a full fatpack of colors. The HUD includes twenty colors for the Henley shirt and twenty colors for the undershirt. The build is spot on and the details are very nice indeed. I really appreciate that the arms and shoulders do not deform when I move. Something many designers miss when making male clothing.
I used my gift card to purchase the jeans I’m wearing as well. The ‘Liam’ jeans are available in both singles and a fat pack. I chose the single ‘Denim #1’ pack. I am equally impressed with the jeans as with the top. I have a feeling I will be showing off many more items from Butterscotch.
Also…on a personal note… when you add the item from your inventory a soothing masculine voice says “Butterscotch… enjoy.” I just… what can I say. Juli made me take it off and on several times just to hear it again. I do have to admit… It’s an awesome touch.
All right, FabFree. I have a confession to make. I was lazy this Holiday season and I did not do my due diligence when the Access Event opened up way back on December 12th. Now here it is about 24 hours before the Event closes… and I’m just getting a very nice men’s gift up on the blog. Don’t yell… Juli is already rather put out with me. That said… don’t waste a moment getting over to the Access Event before it shuts it’s doors and pick up quite a few nice free gifts for the men. Just join the Access Event group which is also free.
I chose this stylish jacket and turtleneck combination from Varsity, the ‘Randon Jacket’. You’ll get a HUD to change the color of both the Jacket and the sweater for good versatility. The pose is built in to the jacket so your hands stay in the pockets. The details are very well done and I foresee wearing this quite often.
Sizes Included
Belleza – Jake
Legacy
Signature – Gianni
Again… the Access Event closes January 8 so hurry over before it’s too late.
Good afternoon, FabFree. I am sure that all of our Fabulous Readers are surely on Santa’s Nice List. And all of you can expect nothing but sweet treats and wonderful gifts from Saint Nick. But I have to say… there are some benefits to taking a peek at the Naughty List.
The Naughty List Event at least has some very nice special buys set out for us at least. One, in particular for the gentlemen is this warm layered sweater from ZFG for Him. This is the “Edward Sweater” and you can pick it up for only 10L. Be sure and check out the ZFG booth while you’re there for the event exclusive and some excellent deals.
Season’s Greetings, Fabulous Folk. As you’ve seen, Julianna is completely immersed herself in the Christmas cheer. So I feel I can do the same. Winter is fully upon us here in our little corner of the Grid and the Real World as well. In fact, there are little flurries of snow falling as I write this. So it’s the perfect setting to stay in beside the fire with a good book and a couple of happy puppers.
I’m dressed for the occasion in this casual turtleneck from Madcat Creations. It seems I’ve been showing quite a bit from this talented designer lately. And why not? Each piece is well built and has excellent details. I know I certainly appreciate all the offerings for the men of Second Life since it can be difficult to find quality items on a budget. This is the Snowflake Turtleneck Sweater, and you can pick it up for a little hunting and 1L as part of the “Dreaming of a White Christmas” hunt. If you’d rather not hunt, the gift is available for 25L on the Hunt poster. There is also a beautiful white snowflake dress in the same prize box for the ladies.
There are times when a gentleman must take matters into his own hands. No matter your breeding or status, when your airship’s boiler goes out… you pull on a sturdy pair of gloves, secure a tool box and sort things out.
ContraptioN, obviously understands this because this month’s free group gift for the L’Homme readers is all about getting your hands dirty yet remaining a gentleman.
This is the Thibaut waist coat “work” and it’s a generous free gift from ContraptioN. The ‘work’ designation being the soot and grime around the sleeves. Signs of honest work, if you ask me. Equally well used are the leather gloves I’m sporting. These are the ‘Dapper Dandy’s Gloves’ also designated ‘Soot’. Both of these gifts will be available until the next round of L’Homme.
Hey FabFree, we’re halfway through the week already! I swear, with all the fairs and Hunts and events, I’m going a little batty! 😉 Yeah yeah, I know… it was an easy laugh. But when I saw the latest Fabulously Free Group Gift from Mirus Designs… how could I not go batty for it?
The Bat Blouse is so cute! I’m betting it will be my standard outfit for the rest of the season! I just love the deep purple color and… Bats! Plus, it’s all free for the FabFree Group and our group is, of course, free to join! You can just slap that display board and join, easy peasy.
Sizes Included
Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
Classic Mesh – XXS – L
Legacy
Legacy Perky
Maitreya
SLink – Hourglass, Physique
Now there isn’t just goodies for us girls. Mirus Designs also has a gift for the guys too. The “Cool men’s open front shirt” is just a 1L for everyone, no group needed. Cool enough as a set, you can use just the open front shirt with the insert included. So you can show off those abs, guys. There is also a small section in store for the guys with some very nice designs. Definitely worth checking out, gentlemen.
Sizes Included
Classic Mesh – XS – XL

Juli’s Stylin’
Mesh Head – LeLutka (Spencer- w/ my own edited shape)
It’s starting to get cool in the mornings, a sure sign of Autumns arrival. Plus, just about everywhere, pumpkins and ghosts and those enormous bags of candy in the stores. I have to admit I am having a great time finding, and sampling, the bags Juli thinks she’s hidden around the house.
Speaking of finding treats, you will be hunting down a piece of candy for the Boo! Bunny Hunt to get your treat. This is the men’s gift from Ink Blots and it’s just one Linden plus some hunting. The warm jacket and sweater come as one convenient piece making dressing easy and quick. The details are of good quality and move well once it’s on. Something a lot of men’s wear struggles with. The Boo! Bunny Hunt runs until October 31rst so don’t delay.
Sizes Included
Classic Mesh – XS – XL
