After all of Juli’s posts about how great the SL16B gifts are, I had to check it out for myself. I braved the lag and found a few nice gifts for us guys.
A to Zed
I saw these great shoes were the gift Zed was offering and I was so intrigued, I had to check out the rest of their offerings. I’m rather pleased I did. There are several gifts scattered about the shop. A very smart high necked sweater with a large HUD of colors and this full ensemble suit. I like the unusual choice of a tee shirt instead of a collared shirt and a chain necklace instead of a tie. Sometimes edgy is a good thing. The ‘Lovers Day’ suit comes with the blazer and shirt combination, the pants, the dragonhead chain, a bracelet and it’s own set of shoes. There is also a matching cocktail dress for the ladies on the women’s side of the shop.

Now, about these shoes. The ‘Winklepicker Pikes’ ( it’s a style of shoe or boot worn from the 1950s onward by British rock and roll fans.) are Zed’s official Second Life 16th Birthday Celebration Free Gift. The generous Zed has given us the entire fatpack of the shoes so you should find a color and style that suits your every outfit.

Captain’s Log: The Nineteenth of March, Year Unknown My Co-Captain and I set sail for an uncharted destination just a few days ago. Today, for the first time, we found land. Our steam ship ran aground in an unfamiliar location. Where, or even when our time travels have brought us, we cannot be certain. All that is certain is that we found our adventure, and we look absolutely smashing while doing so.
Hello Fab Free’rs! Welcome back to the blog, I promise you haven’t stumbled over a strange steam punk novella. I was just having a little fun with some of the fantastic Seam Hunt prizes my guy and I gathered. His hat, and our amazing jackets are free Seam Hunt prizes. In addition to the hunt freebies, I picked up an incredibly detailed free steam paddle boat that was just too cool to not share with you. I hope you enjoy these fabulous finds, and maybe even go on an adventure or two of your own.
The Hat – I think bowler style hats are really cool for steam punk attire. This particular Steam Hunt gift hat by Miss Darcy has some extra steamy details, both literally and figuratively. This cool hat has a “steam” effect that comes from the wheel handle on top of the hat when worn, not to mention the goggles which complete the look. You have until March 31st to hunt down the little brown cog and claim your free gift.
The Coat – I still cannot get over the gorgeous details of these tailcoats by Contraption. This coat comes in male and female mesh sizes, and includes a cummerbund applier, as well as a system layer cummerbund. Additionally there is a color change hud that lets you change the color of the ascot/scarf and the little pin in the center of the scarf. Lastly, each of the sizes has an additional “bound” option for a corseted look. The best part is that this highly detailed piece is Contraption’sfree Steam Hunt prize.
The Steam Paddle Boat – Believe it or not this ultra cool vessel is not only completely free, it has full permissions. I stumbled across this awesome freebie while exploring sims. This free boat can be found at the Alpha Tribe sim. Simply pay the boat 0 linden and you’ll find a copy of it in the objects folder of your inventory. Along with being cool to look at, this steam paddle boat has some animated parts, and 2 sit poses. There is a single pose at the steering wheel, and one up top at the organ. Lastly, since this freebie has full permissions, you can customize it however you like.
P.S. If you dig Blue’s waxed mustache, it’s a freebie too! You can pick it up for free at Kauna. Afterall, dapper gentleman would be complete without one.
Here are the details, may you have happy adventures!

Valentine’s Day may be over, but the hearts still go on! ❤
Before Gavin and I headed out on our special evening, we stopped for a selfie, of course. I didn’t want to block his fabulous suit – which I’ll tell you about in just a minute – so I was happy to find this fun pose on by YKZ4 on the Marketplace for just 20L!
Men Can Shop Their Hearts Out, Too!
Love and Aline have already shown some awesome gifts available for the ladies at the Shop Your Heart Out Event, but guys, don’t feel left out. There are some fantastic gifts there for you, too!
Gavin picked up the Mesh Power Suit for Men Dark Red by ZED Designz at SYHO for the low, low price of FREE! The suit comes with black python leather boots, and there is a HUD included so you can change the texture of the shirt, vest, and tie. The HUD includes 24 shirt colors, 24 tie colors, and basically unlimited colors for the vest so you’ll be covered for lots of date nights!
Sizes are standard mesh XS-L with alpha layers. Click the boots for a resizer menu.
Oh, and there’s another free suit from ZED at SYHO, so be sure to grab them both!
Not Blah in Satin
Tres Blah recently set out a new group gift, and boy is it gorgeous! 😀
The sexy Satin Dress has a 1-shoulder cut-out and comes in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink mesh bodies. A 14-color HUD is included. This dress should really heat up your date night!
Hair We Are
I know, I’m terrible at thinking up titles and headings. 😛
But I wanted to mention that Gavin and I both picked up the FREE gift hair from Exile at SYHO. The Adam and Jemma Valentine’s Gift includes a fatpack of colors for both the guys and gals. There’s even a Bento version of Jemma for you ladies who like some movement in your hair.
Be sure to head over to the SYHO event before it closes on 26 February. The sim has been super crowded but should hopefully be less busy by now!
Where are all the ….? When the snow is flying and it’s time to put away the Harley, I break out my trusty snowmobile to deliver the present to all the naughty girls… (did I say that right?) But the best present of all is me, dressed in the Bad Santa outfit from ZED as part of the 10th Peace on Earth Hunt. This outfit will have the girls begging for a chance to sit on Santa’s lap. The outfit consists of many individual pieces including the Vest, Open Shirt, Pants, Vest, resizable Gloves, Boots, Hat, and even a Christmas Tree Air Freshener Necklace just to keep things fresh. And what is great that is FREE if you find the hunt object. The Peace on Earth Hunt began today and runs all month long. Now, who has the mistletoe?

I totally planned a blog-free weekend to recharge the creative juices and to put a little balance back into my RL (the dog was starting to get annoyed). As I was doing all the domestic chores that I’ve neglected, my mind was coming up with ideas for new posts… no, no, no… shut your brain off… As I was playing ” Identify what food this USED to be” while cleaning out the refrigerator, I had another post idea (to be fair, it was for the MadPea Food Fair), but I’m on a short holiday, right? RIGHT?
Ahem….
Today I’d like to show you this great FREE find that can be found on the Loving Kind Hunt 2 from Zed Designz. The Milan Blue Leather Jacket w/ TurtleNeck is a beautiful mesh jacket that comes with a texture changing HUD for the turtleneck to give you several color choices to pick from. It also comes in sizes S-L and fitted small and large sizes.
And now I return to my Sunday crossword and my cup of coffee… Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
