Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Free bikini and poses

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Free bikini and poses

Ladies, we all know we should be doing this, but here’s a timely kick-up-the-bum reminder from me ;)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s a time when we’re reminded that we should be checking our breasts every month. It’s only by getting to know our boobs that we can recognise anything unusual that we need to have checked out by a doctor. The Feel Your Boobies site has excellent advice on what to do.

KaTink is just one of the stores on the grid that are offering a free item in relation to the month. You can pick up this cute little pink bikini with sculpted ties, plus three poses, at the KaTink store:

Hop behind the cut for a great, quick reference card courtesy of the Feel Your Boobies site so you know what to do :)

Weekend smarts with R.icielli, YS&YS, and MichaMi

Weekend smarts with R.icielli, YS&YS, and MichaMi

Holy cow, I haven’t blogged a Dressing Room collection for ages! The new one is a good’un, though, so here are a couple of items from it, together with one item from the latest mesh clothing hunt at R.icielli :)

The Statement in Pink mesh skirt is from MichaMi at The Dressing Room. Mar has teamed it with just one item – the Blake Jacket in black – from R.icielli’s new Halloween Mesh Hunt, at their mainstore’s mesh department. There are 20 items hidden in the store (they’re very easy to find; just look for the big pumpkins!). Each item costs L$15 to buy, so even if you grab the lot you’ll only be spending roughly what you might pay for any full-price mesh item at any top store :)

Mar’s skin is the oh-so-pretty Sofia Fresh skin from YS&YS at The Dressing Room, and her earrings are a free group gift from Bliensen + Maitai at the Violet Mafia location. Paste this link into chat and click it to join the Violet Mafia group (it’s free, but a busy group, so you might want to disable group notices and check manually once a week), then head to the Violet Mafia Headquarters & Speakeasy, where you’ll find tons of great freebies. Just wear your Violet Mafia group tag and get clicking!

Not free/cheap items in the pic: Shoes are by HoC Industries, hair by Truth, eyes by IKON, nails by Love Soul, poses by Glitterati.

Hop behind the cut for a pic of all the items in the R.icielli hunt :)

If you’re not already a member of the group, paste this link into chat and click it to join (it’s free!), then head to the IKON store with your group tag enabled, and click the box by the back wall for this fabulous fatpack of Witch Eyes in 13 colours:

It’s Amacci-ween!

It’s Amacci-ween!

*blinks at the title* No, I think that looks rather, er, kinky, actually. Never mind. I meant well! :p

LADIES! Amacci has put out a fabulous four-colour pack of up-do hair especially for us, for Halloween! (I guess, even though it’s a month away, we’re now in October, so it’s time for orange and black to start sprouting up all over the grid.)

The Nami hair comes in four colour variants, all of which I’ve shown here: burnt orange & black, night & orange, night & pumpkin, pumpkin & black.

Hop behind the cut for a pic of the other two colours, plus a screenshot of the freebie wall (which has lots of other goodies on it, including some spooky Halloween-y eyes and another pumpkin-y hairdo for the girls)!

The Del Mar store is back!

The Del Mar store is back!

If you’ve been reading SL for Nowt for a while, you’ll know that I gave up my little stall in Baileya some time ago because I wasn’t in-world often enough to keep it running. Well, it’s back, and with added features!

Del Mar can now be found in the sky in Endicott sim, and it comprises two sections. The front is the store itself, with a few useful and fun items that I’ve made, plus a load of freebies. The back section features something new: a photo studio area.

Hop behind the cut for more pics and info!

Inventory-management: The ‘Clothing’ folder – Part 2

Inventory-management: The ‘Clothing’ folder – Part 2

Previous parts: one

Well, peeps, here is part two of my attempt to help you sort the Clothing folder in your inventory. Little did I realise when I wrote that first post just how difficult part two would be! The reason for this is purely the way that I think of my inventory (and, if you’ve learned anything from following this blog, it should be that “your inventory should make sense to you, not to someone else that doesn’t have to use it every day”) and that way is… confused at best!

I’ll explain a bit more detail below, and then we’ll try a bit more sorting, although by the very nature of that ‘making sense to you’ thing, my advice should be taken with the proverbial shovel of salt ;)

“Hey, sexy lady!” – Gangnam Style freebie ;)

“Hey, sexy lady!” – Gangnam Style freebie ;)

It was only a matter of time, really…

Thanks to Spencer Broderie and Mimi Juneau of Mimi’s Choice, there is a free gift of Gangnam Style glasses at the Mimi’s Choice store. Just wear them (they’re modifiable if you need to resize) and type gangnam into chat, and the glasses will play that damn song (!) and your avatar will do PSY’s ‘invisible horse’ dance. Great fun for parties, so go grab a pair now! You’ll find them in a big box at your feet when you land ;)

Every colour you are, from Truth

Every colour you are, from Truth

Truth Hawks has just given out a gorgeous new gift to his Subscribe-O-Matic members: a full fatpack of colours of his new, cute Sam short style –

Head to the Truth store (be warned: it’s always busy and can be very laggy – you’ll need lots of patience! It helps to be flying before you teleport, and try to fly in the store rather than walk; you get places that little bit quicker!). If you’re not already in the Subscribe-O-Matic, find one in the main entrance area and click it, then click again and look in the history for the notice sent out on Friday, called TRUTH HAIR New Release & Group Gift 21 September. Inside it you’ll find ten (yes, TEN!) full colour packs of this lovely unrigged mesh hair.

Saturday scrummies!

Saturday scrummies!

Update: Comments now disabled because this post was attracting spammers.

I’ve got some scrummy stuff for you today!

First up, there’s a new group gift skin at Al Vulo! The group is free-to-join (paste this link into chat and click it to bring up the group join window) so wear your group tag and head to the Al Vulo! store, then click the ad board inside the little shed outside.

Next, Mar is wearing part of the Finding FabFree hunt gift – a mesh top and mesh pants – from PurpleMoon Creations. You’re looking for a sculpted white number 5. At PurpleMoon, find the small poster advertising the hunt, and look for the footprints on the floor. They’ll lead you in the right direction! Full prize piccy is after the cut.

Finally, there are two gorgeous group gifties from PurpleMoon Creations. The group is L$50 to join (paste this link into chat and click it) so wear your group tag and head inside the store to the lobby area. You’ll find the lovely golden Elwing Gown on a big board there, which celebrates 17,000 members (wow!), and if you check the group’s notices you’ll also find the bonus earrings!

Hop behind the cut for two more pics of all the items :)

Inventory-management: The ‘Clothing’ folder – Part 1

Inventory-management: The ‘Clothing’ folder – Part 1

I recently received an email asking for tips on organising the Clothing folder in Second Life’s inventory. I’ve thus far refrained from writing a hints and tips kind of post about this folder, because it’s pretty much the biggest, most disorganised folder most of us have (and I include myself in that!) and… well, it’s rather daunting, to say the least. However, having read the email I decided I’d start to tackle that post this weekend.

You might think that your Clothing folder is such a mess that there’s no hope for it. Mine’s kind of like that, too (believe it, people!) because – while I try to be organised and, in the main I manage it – I have piles of stuff that is sitting in folders that, to be quite honest, could be better-organised than they already are.

In short, don’t worry if you think your Clothing folder is un-salvageable. It’s not. We’re going to work through it together, with me giving you some organisational hints and tips (plus one big tip to stop it all from looking so overwhelming) and – if you stick with it – you should have a much more manageable Clothing folder by the end of the weekend.

By the very nature of that folder, this will need to be a multiple-post series. This is just part 1, wherein we’ll begin setting up folders and moving the easy stuff around.

Ready? Let’s dive in!
