Hello Hello Fab Free’rs! It’s the end of the week and that means a new designer post! This weeks featured designer is none other than Tiar. For those in the Gorean role-play/lifestyle communities in Second Life I would consider Tiar among the top shops for male and female Gorean clothing, as well as some Gorean furniture. That said, Tiar also has a wide range of urban clothing for both men and women as well as contemporary furniture. It’s another one of those shops with something for everyone.
Tiar’s Courtyard
I purposefully neglected to do my usual exterior photo for Tiar because there is just so much to see. If you wander through the store on your own, you’ll quickly find the room with new releases, and re delivery terminals. In this area of Tiar there is a daily sales item for just 60 lindens (see the bottom photo above). The Tiar landing point is a center courtyard with 4 corners. One corner has the general information about associated groups and events, along with several sale items. You’ll notice the little footprint style markers along the ground leading to the sales boards, most of which are 25 or 35 lindens.
Another corner has a few more sales items, a big raffle board, and a large teleport board that will let you easily navigate Tiar’s many departments. You’ll want to use this teleport board to travel to the Midnight Madness area. Additionally, you’ll find Tiar’s gacha yard sale in this cool little courtyard, along with KittyCats for sale. If you collect KittyCats or enjoy hunting through gacha yard sales you won’t want to skip these.
Once you’ve used the teleporter in the courtyard at Tiar to go to the “Midnight Madness” area, you’ll find yourself in a small room with lots of group only opportunities for FREE items. The Tiar group is FREE to join. There are 3 Midnight Madness boards, 8 Lucky Letter Boards, a Sales Board, and 3 camping chairs. The items on the camping chairs and the Lucky boards all rotate so there are tons of items. One thing I noticed right away is most of the Lucky Letter boards seem to be on a short 3 minute rotation, which is really nice. This room is also where you can pick up the exclusive Fab Free group member gifts. There are two gifts at Tiar for the Fab Free group, one mens and one womens. Carson showed the mens gift in his post “Beach Therapy.” As always, the Fab Free group is FREE to join. Just wear your group tag to get the gifts from Tiar. Happy Shopping Fab Free!
Hi there Fab Free’rs! As always I hope everyone is well in their Second Lives, First Lives, and all Lives. I’m doing pretty good myself, I’m happy to say. For this post I have several FREE or inexpensive gifts to share with you, and I was clearly inspired by how they all came together. I really have no idea what terminology to use to describe this look. The terms modern, industrial, gothic, all come to mind. Whatever you choose to call it, I hope you like it.
First, let’s talk about all this bold metallic looking jewelry by Alter. I have to say this set is really unique, in a good way, definitely what you would call a statement set. This full set including earrings, bracelets, and necklace come together as a FREE gift available at the July round of SWANK. Each piece is scripted to be sized up or down via touch menu. While the set clearly goes together, each piece is different enough to stand alone. Also among the several gifts at SWANK is this dollarbie nail applier set from IP Nails. Continuing with the metallic theme, this really pretty manicure comes in the single style shown, a soft satin grey with a gold tip. Included in this gift are appliers for Maitreya nails, Omega compatible nails, and Slink nails. Also I want to point out that the single applier did color both my fingernails and my toenails, at least the Maitreya applier did. I would definitely wear this mani/pedi with everything, casual attire, formal attire, it will look good with any outfit. Saving what is in my opinion the best for last, Essences recently sent out this stunning pale skin as a FREEsubscriber gift. You read that right, no group needed, just join the subscriber. I’ve always been a sucker for pretty red lips, and the makeup on this gift version of the Essences Mana skin slays. Included in this beautiful FREEbie is a full set of system skins, you get this gorgeous face in a full system layer skin with brow and cleavage options. That means classic avatars can definitely take advantage of this gift. Also included in the gift is a Lelutka head applier. Mesh body appliers can be purchased separately at the Essences main store.
This started out as a simple Designer of the Day post about VOID’s huge box of freebies for everyone ( No group needed) Then I unpacked that box and got all excited! So I had to make an entire outfit! All the clothes in the photo, including the awesome Fallout style gasmask, are from that FREE box of goodies. The clothes are all system and non rigged so they are easily adjustable for fit. If you like post-apocalyptic role play or games or just the look do not delay. Go check out VOID!
**Each day, here on the FabFree Blog, we will be featuring one of our Fabulously Free in SL in world Designers.**

I’m not sure about anyone else but whenever I hear about “Post Apocalyptic” anything, my mind instantly turns to “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”! Maybe I’m showing my age here?! I don’t care, the movie is a cult classic. Not to mention that Grace Jones and Tina Turner were nothing less than fierce in that movie. Not sure what I’m talking about? I seriously suggest you google that.
After visiting the current round of Secret Affair, I was very much inspired. With the help of Luas, and Roawenwood, I channeled a little bit of my “Beyond Thunderdome” muses, and easily put together a fierce post-apoc look. Plus I got the added thrill of playing a gacha machine. Bonus!
YAY! The brand new Fabfree HQ is open, and it looks amazing! XiuLan really did a fantastic job of decorating! In addition to the gorgeous new building, which Love showed off this morning [HERE], there are also gatchas to be played, and all new gifties up on the walls! Xiu showed off a ton of the gifts that the HQ has to offer [HERE], and I’m here to show off a few more that are a couple of my favourites!
Firstly, the Thrilling mesh jacket from Mary Cakes is just fantabulous. I love the studded details, and the deep red colour, and it pairs really well with…
The Mona leather tank and Vela jean capris from none other than Sn@tch! The splatter on these pants is really great, and the whole outfit would be perfect for anyone looking for something a little more “urban”. Both this outfit, and the jacket above, can be found for FREE at the brand new Fabfree HQ!
My nails, which I forgot to snap a shot of, are on sale for $L10 right now from Kosh, in their marketplace shop. The listing says you can grab them free if you’re an inworld group member, but the group does cost $L22 to join. To me they’re definitely worth it either way, since you get all of the designs above in fingernails AND toenails!
The skin I’m wearing here is one of Wow Skins‘ easter egg hunt prizes, and it was previously shown by Love [HERE]! The prizes are not free, in fact this one is the “golden egg” prize and actually costs $L50, however, in the “golden egg” pack you get 2 skins, freckles, teeth, a shape, and appliers for everything, so it’s actually a really fantastic deal!

The Depraved Urban Wreckage hunt started yesterday and goes until the 30th of this month! It features 51 awesome stores and starts off at Razorblade Jacket. Like with all of the past Depraved hunts, you can expect awesome gifts! The gifts I show might be out of order but if you like any of these, I recommend starting from the beginning to grab them all.
–
Fallen Doll has emo sharpie legs with a tattoo layer and socks, and Fierce Designs has the “I gotz an idea” tattoo with accessories to emphasize. Combined for a quirky outfit. Along with a gold halter top from Holli Pocket and Grey Skate shoes from Epic (which are unisex).
Acide has a chain piercing that goes from your nose to your ear with either chin or nose attachments (so you can wear them with a cool pair of shades and be extra cool 😉 ).
Trapt has an outfit with baggy jean shorts, a brown urban tee, and a black belt.
V&M has two pairs of skinny leg jeans in black or red denim…
These destroy glasses are from Beatnik…
And you know it’s been a good day when… you have arrows going through your hat, just barely missing your head? COGOO thinks so and has adding this hat as their gift.
Lucca has the sexy “my string panties” out as their gift.
Xplosion has a streetstyle shirt out and Insanya has red camo capris.
Just You Jewels has a cute Cinderella slipper necklace.
Chandelle has this sexy blue Isys dress out.
Gauged has elf ears out …and I have to admit, I’m intimidated by texture HUDs, but this one was fairly easy to use to find the right skin tone and it comes with more options for the texture of the gauges.
Razorblade Jacket’s gift is a broken skulls shirt with a short version (worn) or a regular version (for modesty or unisex :P) and I paired it with the capris from Insanya and the shoes from Epic along with the elf ears previously shown.
Alexohol has this sexy outfit out for urban wreckage:
Bubble has a set of tube tops out for their hunt gift.
Sakide (Sassy Kitty Designs) has a dress with either gray or white options and either blue or gray bra options for underneath and either gray or denim heavy boots.
LMD (Leri Miles Designs) has white capris with blue doodles and blue plaid halter.
Sn@tch has the Fangbanger velvet pants & a Luxury Ruched top.
There are 51 stores so this definitely isn’t all there is! The hunt ends on the 30th so you should get out there and grab these prizes while they’re available!

Penelope Heron, designer und owner of !MPOSSIBLE, let me know about her new freebies instore, and she also informed me about a Spring Hunt. Thank you!
At first the announcement: A Spring Flower Hunt will come off from April 19 – 30th at Urban Shopper, Duby City. There will be great prizes, such as complete outfits for ladies and men, lavish tattoos, creative use objects and gift certificates from the participating designers at Urban Shopper. So make a note of this Spring Hunt in your calendars though it´s not one of the big hunts, but it´s a nice hunt without terrible lag and really fantastic prizes!
And now the freebies: !mpossible has 2 boxes inside the store – Gift Men and Gift Women. For the guys there´s a nice casual outfit consisting of jeans, a green motiv shirt and black/grey shoes. I´m wearing this outfit except the shoes, they are too laaaarge for my feet. The gift for the ladies is a bit more elegant, we are pleased with a fancy ensemble called Berry . It comes with pants, top, skirt, shoulder piece (it´s your decision how to wear the dress, it´s also wonderful without the shoulder piece) and matching heels. In a previous treasure hunt at Urban Shopper I was a “lucky finder” of an !MPOSSIBLE gift certificate (and other amazing prizes) and I was pleasantly surprised of the clothes I received. They are very pretty with great textures, well done! So, I thought it´s worth to share this little secret with you!
Quickie: The skins I´m wearing are a group gift from KALON (thank you for letting me know, KyrinniaDesmoulins!), named Honey Not So Subtle Pale Pink and Smack My Bitch Up Honey1. Do a search in groups for the group called Kalon Updates. I used the phrase kalon and it was the only choice. Join the group, it´s free to join. Go to the notices, there are only two notices dated 4/6/2008 and 4/9/2008. Click Open/Save attachment. Now you are proud owner of boxes with Honey Notsosubtle Pale Pinkskin/Smackmybitchup Honey1 skin from KALON. Find a place that allow build and unpack your box. We all know KALON skins are great skins, look at this pretty face, it´s even pretty with a smack *grin*. So don´t miss the group gifts! Items will only be available as long as they are in the notice archives.
