A Slice of Pi

A Slice of Pi

Happy Pi Day!  I’ve got 3.14 reasons for you to head on over to Pink Cream Pie today… And a Pi Day shirt is one of them!

Gimme a Slice

March 14th is all about math-type things.  But, I won’t get into them.  Because I’m terrible at Math.  I speak 4 languages and 2 dialects though, so I feel like I make up for not knowing how to do mathy things.  Anywhos, hurry on over to Pink Cream Pie today for a free top to celebrate this most auspicious of days.  No group needed, and you’ll find it right behind the front desk.

Sizes

  • GenX Classic
  • GenX Curvy
  • Maitreya
  • Legacy
  • Petite
  • Reborn

Hmm…maybe I need a slice of pie.  That should do it.

Delicate

Delicate

I’m kicking the weekend off with some lovely lace!  It’s snowing again where I am, and for some reason that always puts me in the mood for something soft and delicate.

She’s a Vision

There’s a new group gift at ViSion, but it’s only around for a limited time!  Word on the street is you’ll only be able to pick up this lovely lingerie set until the 12th, so I’d hurry up and head over there.  The HUD comes with plenty of different colour and texture options, and you can wear the top and bottom parts separately too.  What a lovely, versatile gift!  The ViSion group is 18L to join!

Sizes

  • Reborn
  • Freya
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Perky
  • Maitreya
  • Petite

Hope your weekend is wonderful, and possibly less snowy than mine will be!

Sweet Heat

Sweet Heat

It’s still cold out, so I’m making my own heat today.  I like to call it sweet chili heat, mostly because now I’m suddenly in the mood for Doritos.  God, I totally ruined the sexiness of this post now, didn’t I?

Anyway…

Safira are celebrating an anniversary!  I thought that they had closed down all their inworld happenings, but looks like their store is back up and running, and with it comes this fun hunt.  Each item is just 10L, and very super exceedingly cute.  I settled on the Tisha top (which also comes with some bandanna options) and skirt which set me back just 20L in total.  It was the flames that got me!  Check out all the other items that are available too, you’ll surely have a hard time choosing which to grab!

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Isis
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Perky
  • Petite

So… which will you grab?

Among The Fields Of Gold

Among The Fields Of GoldBy now you’ve heard about the passing of Palomma Casanova, maybe from Aline’s post here. I did not know her personally or ever speak to her, to my recollection. I can’t claim any personal grief or loss. But that isn’t to say that I’m not affected because really all of SL is affected. The Free Dove was an institution in Second Life for over 18 years. It was always around as a place to send new players or even veterans that needed to spruce up their avatars for free. In that way, The Free Dove and FabFree had the same mission. It was strange shopping at The Free Dove for this post, knowing that it’s creator is no longer with us and that it might be the last time I’m there before the doors close for good.

I picked up a few items and went to a pretty sim of sunflowers that I found on Palomma’s profile picks, that it appears she owned as well. The free items that I’m wearing from The Free Dove are:

  • Free sweater dress by Satus Inc in sizes for Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Maitreya, Slink (Hourglass and Physique), TMP, and fitmesh sizes XS-XL
  • Free hair by Faga with a style HUD including all the colors
  • Free boots by Shoe-Ddiction sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique, and Venus

To get these pieces for yourself you just need to be in The Free Dove group (it’s free to join). Then head over to The Free Dove to get the things that I’m wearing and so much more, all for free. There’s no word on how long the sim will remain so you’ll want to make the trip sooner rather than later.

Thank you Palomma, for your amazing contribution to the SL community. I have a feeling that The Free Dove and you will be remember and talked about long after the sim disappears.

Snow in the Square

Snow in the Square

No one ever said that Aline had a lot of common sense when it came to clothing and the cold.  What she did have, however, was a lot of chutzpah.  She suddenly decided that heading out into the snow was an excellent idea, and she wasn’t necessarily wrong.  The chills for the few steps out into the square gave her a thrill.  The city was quiet, the snow was crisp and white, and as she looked up into the sky, the soft little snowflakes landing on her upturned face reminded her that life was indeed quite beautiful.

Back to Okinawa

The season of giving rolls on (Christmas STILL isn’t over, btw…today is the 10th day!), and over at The Okinawa New Year Festival, there are free gifts aplenty.  To get them, you need only buy them for 0L each, no group join required!  Here’s what I put together today:

  • FREE dress by Faida sized for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya & Petite
  • FREE shoes by Seeker sized for Erika, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya & Reborn
  • FREE headdress by Miura in two parts

The Okinawa New Year Festival is running until January 13th!

Ok… I’m freezing.

Give Me The Shivers

Give Me The ShiversCollectively, I’d say that us FabFree girls have a lot of really great qualities. One place where we really struggle though? Bundling up and dressing for the weather. And here is a prime example. Really I think that my facial expression says it all. The things that we do in the name of freebies!

Oh Christmas Tree

There is an Advent Calendar at Cosmopolitan, in the form of a lovely Christmas tree just inside the entrance. It claims to be an advent calendar, but when I was there the day after it started it was already loaded with free presents. It runs from December 15th through 25th so I’ll definitely be checking back to see what else is added each day. To get the free gifts you need to join the free Cosmopolitan group and then click on the ornaments on the tree to get the gifts. They are from all different designers and range from clothes to accessories to decor. Here’s some of what I snagged on my visit:

  • Free mittens by amias with three colors to choose from and in sizes for Legacy and Maitreya
  • Free hair by no.match, including the scarf – there’s a HUD of “essential” hair colors plus two more HUDS of colors for the scrunchy and scarf
  • Free top by FLIRT, also in a fatpack of colors and sizes for Cinnamon, Kupra, Kupra Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Perky, and Reborn
  • Free lipstick applier by Lempika, featuring 15 nice colors

The Cosmopolitan Event runs till December 25th and you’ll be able to get the free gifts the whole time, they don’t go away like most advent calendars once the day is done. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to see if a nice jacket or coat has been added.

SpiderWoman

SpiderWoman

I had to come up with 4 different Halloween costumes for this weekend but with all the great events and free gifts I had lots of inspiration and here is just one of my costumes, I call her SpiderWoman, not your typical superhero but she still does some good deeds here and there while creeping people out with her giant spider sidekick and evil looking eyes.

Myrtle, the spider sidekick is from Mooh! and she is part of the Black Widow Avatar I previously blogged HERE.  My eyes and eye tattoo is a free gift from Dotty’s Secret at the FLF-o-Ween event.

If your struggling to come up with ideas for costumes make sure check out all the events, hunts, & sales HERE, it’s like Halloween on crack LOL.

Try To See It Once My Way

Try To See It Once My WayYou may know this about me, FabFree, but in SL I am a fan of quality. Sure I have my particular style, things that I prefer to wear/use, and a type that I am drawn to. But more than any of that, I just love the gorgeous things that people create, whether it be a split lip or especially good shine on a piece of clothing. I am in awe of the quality and creativity.

For Example

Take this top, for example. Behold the beauty – the previously mentioned shine, the details of the little ring adjusters, the way the bottom is bunched up just enough. And on to the part that you’re here for, it is a free group gift at LeCastle and the group is free to join. Included is a HUD of lovely iridescent hues and sizes for:

  • Altamura
  • E-Curvy
  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Legacy
  • Legacy Perky
  • Maitreya
  • Physique

I’ve Got It Bad

I've Got It BadHi there! I’m not in the mood for words tonight. I realize I’m typically at one extreme or the other when it comes to blathering on. This time it’s right to the freebies!

Free Outfit

My entire outfit is from ADN. Like, all of it – the top, skirt, tights, and bracelet that I’m wearing. It even includes some more bracelets that I’m not wearing and a really cute bag (that I couldn’t hold because it wouldn’t work with my pose). There is also a HUD with a handful of plaid color options that let’s you color the top and skirt separately. And it’s all for the low low price of free. Just join the free ADN group and the free group gifts are there on the wall waiting for you. The sizes included are:

  • Belleza Freya
  • eBody Reborn
  • Inithium Kupra
  • Inithium Kups
  • Kalhene Erika
  • Legacy Perky Petite
  • Legacy Perky
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya Petite
  • Maitreya
  • Slink Hourglass

Free Poses

The pose I’m using is from Versuta. There is a new free group gift out in the store called anbu and this is one of the poses in the pack. You’ll just need to join the free Versuta group and give them a click on the wall by the door. There’s the anbu set and a whole bunch of past free group gifts, too!

 

Not bad, right? Quick and painless. The groups at both stores are free to join and they both offer free past group gifts so you can snatch everything up at the same time. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
