Doing the naughty

Doing the naughty

No, not THAT naughty! I mean, doing naughty things (or wanting to do naughty things) – as in: bad things.

It sometimes surprises me when I peruse the search terms for both old and new blogs, just how many people want to do nefarious things within SL. Much of the time they want to spy on someone (probably suspecting their partner is cheating) or hide from someone, but I thought I’d dedicate a post to some of the search terms that pop up from time to time.

It’s about time I showed you blokes some love (um, not like that, though!) so here’s a De-Noob for Nowt post especially for the menfolk of SL. Everything in this look cost exactly… nothing. Nada. Not a bean. Totally free. Best price there is, right? ;)

Mum? Dad? Original Ruth and Roth avatars!

Mum? Dad? Original Ruth and Roth avatars!

Hi peeps!

I’ve been digging around some old default library content that I found, and I’ve put together two freebie boxes containing the Mother and Father of us all – Ruth and Roth – and stuck them on the freebie wall at the Del Mar Store.

While there is a Ruth avatar in your Library folder, she’s not the original Ruth (in fact, the only resemblance she bears to Ruth is that her shirt is purple).

Both Ruth and Roth are Second Life icons. Roth is the original n00b; you’ll have seen models of him all over the place. And Ruth… well, she was iconic before Lady Gaga was a twinkle in her record company’s eye ;)

Great fun for parties, especially if you remember to remove your AO (they didn’t exist back then!) so you’re in default newbie pose.

Pics!

De-Noob for Nowt: Casual Weekend

De-Noob for Nowt: Casual Weekend

It’s time for another De-Noob for Nowt, and this is a casual weekend outfit comprising a pair of comfy denim jeans, a stripey tee, sloppy up-do hair, a chunky leather belt, a cute necklace, and some killer denim boots. The best thing of all? The entire thing cost not a bean. Zero L$ spend! Yep, even the skin and makeup! Now that’s my kind of price ;)

Oh! Oh! CoCo! Tons of group gifties from CoCo Design :)

Oh! Oh! CoCo! Tons of group gifties from CoCo Design :)

There are a TON of gorgeous group gifts on the wall at CoCo Design. Mar picked up some of them and put together a few cute looks, together with some in-world and Marketplace offers.

Join the CoCo Design group [ group link – free to join ] and head to the store [ in-world store ]. The group gifts are on the West wall. Make sure you’re wearing your group tag, and get clicking!

The first look (*points up*) comprises the cute little Gift Tee & Denim Shorts set (the tee also comes in a green colour; hop behind the cut for a pic of that), plus the awesome mesh Suede Boots. Mar’s hair is a limited-time freebie from A&A on Marketplace: the Ludvika Hair in ‘dark brown’ [ link ] which is available free until March 5th 2013.

BOYS! The mesh boots come in rigged (can’t be resized) and UN-rigged (can be resized) versions, and there are fur-topped and non-fur versions, too. So, if you like to roleplay any historical avatars (or Gorean, or anything like that) then these boots will work just as well for a male avatar as they will a female one!

Hop behind the cut for more looks!

New group gift freebie eyes from IKON!

Hi peeps! I found you some peepers! ;)

IKON has its February group gift out, and it’s the absolutely gorgeous ‘optimism’ shade of their brand-new Lucid Eyes:

Aren’t those stunning?! The group is free-to-join [ group link ] so wear your tag, and hop over to the store [ in-world SLurl ] before February 7th (the last day that the gift will be available).

Kunglers Outlet

Kunglers Outlet

Here’s a gorgeous cheapie dress that I found at the Kunglers Outlet store:

It’s the Claudia Dress in ‘forest’ for just L$60 (there’s also a lovely pink version for the same price). I splurged a bit on some matching jewellery, too (L$150, but gorgeous!)

Mar’s skin is the current Al Vulo! group gift [ group link – free to join ] [ in-world store ] and her hair is a new, limited-time freebie from A&A on Marketplace: the Agnesa Hair in ‘mixed brown’ [ link ] – the promo price for that hair ends on 15th February 2013.

Mar’s shoes are the L$50 colour-change MIB Stilettos from HoC Industries [ in-world store ] and her eyes are the new group gift from IKON: the Lucid Eyes in ‘optimism’ [ group link – free to join ] [ in-world store ]. I’ll be blogging those eyes in detail in another post today.

Mar’s Musings: Flippin’ heck, that’s a bit primmy, son!

Mar’s Musings: Flippin’ heck, that’s a bit primmy, son!

I’ve spent a few hours hopping around the grid, picking up some items to show my faithful blog readers, but got the shock of my life when I rezzed one freebie skin fatpack package. In fact, I was so stunned, I hit up Twitter to boggle about it:

I kid thee not. While the packaging looks awesome, 181 prims is… a trifle excessive for packaging. Many people only have a handful of prims free; enough to rez a box or a sculpted or mesh bag. I’m not knocking Ramya Skins, by any means; but holy guacamole, lower the prim count on your packaging a little bit, peeps!
