She’s just a devil woman

She’s just a devil woman

(I never thought I would begin a blog post with Cliff Richard lyrics. Oh well… there’s a first time for everything!)

Ladies! PurpleMoon has a surprise group gift waiting for you at the store, and they’re in full-on Halloween mode! This amazing ‘Demonia’ outfit, complete with wings, claws, and hooves is free to all group members:

Mar’s teamed it with the new group gift from Al Vulo! – the Livia (Devil is a Woman) skin, cheapie jewellery from Eternal Jewelry, an amazing hairdo from Iconic, and spooky eyes from IKON. Her backdrop in the above pic is a group gift from KaTink Poses: a corner photo backdrop with a sword-embedded skull (three poses), fog and a bat emitter.

Hop behind the cut for a full pic of the avatar, plus locations and everything else!

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)!

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.

I look in my Magic Mirror, and I can see…

I look in my Magic Mirror, and I can see…

…Mar! Yay, she can see me!

Heck, if you don’t remember watching Romper Room as a tiny thing, then your childhood was incomplete! The excitement of the host seeing you in her Magic Mirror was brilliant! And here’s something else that’s brilliant: the cute little baby blue polkadot mesh romper that G.Field sent out as a subscribe-o-matic gift!

Everything in this pic is a free group or subscribe-o-matic gift (except for the jewellery, which is all free on Marketplace)! To make things easier I’ll list the group links and the stores below, rather than burying them in a load of text ;) Just paste the links into local chat in your viewer.

Romper: G.Field (store) – subscribe-o-matic gift
Hair: Dura-Dura* (store) (group) – thanks to Spacecase Munster‘s fab Virtual Vagabonds group for the tip about this!
Skin: Al Vulo!* (store) (group) – click the sign inside the little shed
Shoes: Gabriel* (store) (group)
Eyes: IKON* (store) (group)
Bangles: PM Delight Water Bangles Set (Marketplace)

*Group tag must be worn when clicking in order to receive your gift.

All groups are (at the time of writing this post) free-to-join. Please don’t come and yell at me if you come across this post in several month’s time and the group’s owners have decided to instigate a join fee!

Weekend treats!

Weekend treats!

Hi peeps!

I’ve been wandering around the Grid today, and found some gorgeous stuff. This all comes from just three stores (four, if you count the prop in the teaser pic) and everything is less than L$75, with one item completely free for this weekend only.

Hop behind the cut!

Oh, oh, retro!

Oh, oh, retro!

If you follow Mar on twitter you’ll have seen her squealing about the awesome stuff available at the Retro Swap Meet on The Wash sim. Prices are as low as L$10 or less, and there’s tons of stuff, from 1920s glamourpusses to 50s and 60s vixens and 70s foxy chicks. Guys, there’s some nice retro pieces available for you, too!

Mar’s put together a great summery look from three pieces bought at the Retro Swap Meet (L$10 per item, so a total of L$30) plus two group gifts.

The hair is a fabulous subscribe-o-matic gift from Truth Hair. Battle your way through the crowds (the store is always packed) and – if you’re not already in the subscribe-o, give it a click and wait until you’re registered. Once you see that you’ve been added to the database you (and anyone already in the group) can click again, choose ‘history’ from the menu and navigate to the most recent notice, dated May 26th. Click the relevant number and wait until you’re sent the gift. Inside you’ll find a full fatpack of the gorgeous Jessie mesh hair.

Mar’s Micha Top (tropical) is from the Artilleri stall at the Retro Swap Meet. You’ll get a pack of three tops for L$10 there. Her shoes and jewellery are from the Ear Candy stall, here. Her capris are from the free Aqua Halter and White Capris set from Moulliez, here on Marketplace. And, finally, her (hilariously-named!) Studious Tart glasses are from a humungous fatpack sent out to members of the Nomine subscribe-o-matic.

The Retro Swap Meet finishes on June 6th, so you have another week to check it all out :)

Iberian elegance from PurpleMoon Creations

Iberian elegance from PurpleMoon Creations

Hi, peeps! Today I have a gorgeous group gifty to share with you. It’s a celebratory gift from PurpleMoon Creations, as thanks for the group reaching 12,000 members!

The group costs L$50 to join (paste this link into chat and click it to bring up the group join window), and gives you access not only to the in-store gifts, but also when you wear your group tag when making purchases it acts like a loyalty card, earning you points. You do have to spend L$1000 before the discounts kick in, but PurpleMoon takes part in a lot of the weekly offers (such as L$55 Thursdays and L$60 weekends) so if you shop there for those it’s worth being in the group, just to get your totals up!

The current gift in-store is this beautiful Spanish Lady Gown. And, if you check back through group notices you’ll also find the special edition Tears Me Not necklace and earrings set that Mar’s wearing with it:

Mar’s hair is from the freebie Susan pack by Exile at Savoir Hair. Her nails are cheapies from Love Soul. Her lipstick is from the free Neon pack by R.icielli. Her bracelet is a freebie from Inca Temple.

De-noob for nowt: Duck eggs!

De-noob for nowt: Duck eggs!

Huh?

Duck egg blue, of course! It’s the colour of this pretty little freebie dress from Garage. In fact, Mar’s entire look here is absolutely free. Most of it is from stores on Marketplace, which is Second Life’s out-world shopping site, but a couple of items are limited-time offers, and one is a lucky board freebie.

Firstly, her shape is from this freebie skin/shape pack by Imagine, on Marketplace (at least, that’s what I think the store is called, going by the creator’s profile; sorry if I got it wrong!).

Her skin is the current group freebie at AL Vulo! (paste this link into chat and click it to bring up the group window and join – it’s absolutely free – then head to the store with your group tag active and click the panel inside the little wooden shed outside).

Her hair is a freebie from A&A on Marketplace, and you can find it here. It’s a lovely, loose little up-do with a colour-change barrette. This style will only be free until February 28th 2012.

Her shoes are from the lucky boards at Baby Monkey. Head to the store and wait until the first letter of your username (that’s the name you log in with, not the display name that you can change!) comes up on either the boards or the lucky chairs, then click or sit to win!

Finally, her eyes are a freebie from Virtual Diva, here on Marketplace.

I’ve put another pic behind the cut which shows off the back of the hairstyle, and the super-cute butt on this shape ;)

Brighten up wintertide with Rfyre

Brighten up wintertide with Rfyre

Hi, peeps! Yesterday Mar went to Rfyre to grab the gorgeous Wintertide Tux from the Womenstuff Hunt. Hey, it’s purple, which is her favourite colour, and it comes with multiple layers, including a skirt (if you don’t want to wear pants), two styles of pants, multiple neck options (bow tie, simple collar, collar-with-necktie, etc), and even undies!

The hunt clue for this prize is: “Place your self upon a pedestal and urn your prize…..”, which is reaaaally easy ;)

Mar has accessorised with a lipstick from a great freebie pack by R.icielli, which you can find here on Marketplace, prim nails from Love Soul, and versatile boots from HoC Industries. Her hair is a male style from the freebie wall at Exile.
