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 :)

Under a hundred: Limited-time full male avatar

Under a hundred: Limited-time full male avatar

Normally I don’t blog about anything that costs more than L$75, but there have been rare exceptions in the past. Whenever I’ve done this, I try to label the post accordingly, thus this post is called ‘under a hundred’. Since this is a great offer for the guys out there (and offers like that tend to be few and far between!) it deserved to be blogged, despite coming in at a little over the price remit for SL for Nowt.

The item in question is a limited-time offer on Marketplace from R.icielli – of a full male avatar. The Brian avatar comprises: a modifiable shape, two hairbased skins (one midtone, one tanned – both shown in the first pic on this post), brown eyes, eyebrows, a pair of black boots, a fedora hat, plus two full mesh outfits: one pair of black jeans and one pair of blue jeans (four sizes of each) and one black blazer with white t-shirt and one brown leather jacket with black t-shirt (again, four sizes of each).

The avatar is currently on a promotional offer price of just L$99 on Marketplace.

Please note: this is a limited-time offer. At some point in the future this price may go up.

I got the lime, now where’s my tequila?!

I got the lime, now where’s my tequila?!

Hi, peeps!

Ugh, it feels like it’s been raining for weeks here. When I logged into SL this morning, I wanted to find something summery and bright to cheer myself up, and find it I did!

Not only have the Baby Monkey shoe lucky boards been replenished with new items, but there’s also a new set of lucky boards upstairs, filled with mesh content. Mar won a great pair of faded black jeans and a fab one-shouldered summery top, and together with the July freebie sandals from SF Design, and a limited edition (this weekend only) gift from IKON and cheapie makeup from e.e.Linter, she’s all lime-d out!

Hop behind the cut for SLurls and info :)

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)
Earrings: PM Delight Water 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!

This weekend only: Two free pairs of eyes at IKON

This weekend only: Two free pairs of eyes at IKON

UPDATE: This offer is now over.

Hi peeps! The IKON group gift freebies for May have gone out in-store, and they’re gorgeous! You get two pairs this month: the Sunrise Eyes in ‘summer’ (a lovely green-gold shade) and the Utopia Eyes in ‘light silver and blue’. You’ll need to join the IKON group (it’s free-to-join, just paste this link into chat and click it, then make sure you’re wearing the tag when you click the boxes).

Note: These freebies will, as the picture shows, only be available this weekend. So hurry up!

Closing-down sales: Exodi, Kalnins, and MerikenCo

Closing-down sales: Exodi, Kalnins, and MerikenCo

I always feel sad when I blog about closing down sales, because any creator going out of business is a Not Good Thing. But when three large businesses announce closure, practically within a week of each other? That’s not just bad news for customers of those stores; it’s bad news for SL itself.

Ladies, today is your LAST CHANCE to buy from Exodi. The store closes tonight (Saturday March 31st). There’s still a group gift on top of the fireplace, to your left as you walk in, so activate your group tag and get that. It’ll be the last gift you get from Ryker Beck, as Exodi.

Oh, and while you’re at it, PLEASE don’t do what these thoughtless women did:

Those women couldn’t have given an uglier, ruder ‘goodbye’ to Ryker Beck if they’d tried. Unpacking the FREE gift she gave and leaving all their crap to litter her store? Selfish. Just utterly selfish. And you know what? I haven’t named and shamed on this blog in a long time, but I’m going to do it right now; I am so disgusted at this selfish attitude. Ryker has been one of SL’s most generous creators, with regular group gifts of full skin fatpacks, setting out three gorgeous free newbie avatars for women, and I couldn’t believe what I saw when I walked into the store. In all honesty I thought Ryker had set out all of her previous group gifts, as one final huzzah to her group members, until I realised the boxes all had different ‘owner’ names.

So, congratulations to sinala.hoover, priscila.viper, rosa121, naillah, gogogirl.popstar, sharon.tate, kit.littlething, sem.muhindra, nese.thespian, barbiepinkstyle, jasmin.donaldo, nushua.allardyce, ellendixie, evva.camel, and ashira.torok for getting their names mentioned. Perhaps in future you might think a little about what kind of message you’re giving to the creators who, y’know, don’t have to give out free gifts, but do anyway.

Hmf. Enough of that. Two other stores have announced closure. Hop behind the cut for more info (especially the menfolk reading, as these places are menswear heaven!)

IKON-ic eyeballs! (limited-time freebie)

IKON-ic eyeballs! (limited-time freebie)

Hi peeps! There’s a real treat waiting for you out there this weekend (and this weekend only)! Ikon Innovia has set out his new group gift at IKON: a set of gorgeous ‘Utopia’ eyes in pale mint and gold. If you’ve not heard of IKON before, then I assure you, you probably have! It’s the new name for Fashism eyes (and if you’ve been watching this blog closely you might notice that Mar’s been wearing Fashism’s ‘Sunrise’ eyes in the azure shade for some time now).

These are some of the top peepers on the grid, so you need to go grab ’em! The group is free to join, and each month’s group gift is set out in the store (pay attention now!) ONLY for the first weekend of each month, from 8pm SLT on the Friday to 8pm SLT on the Sunday. That means you’ve got until 8pm tonight (Sunday March 4th) to get these gorgeous eyeballs, so what are you waiting for?!

Make sure you join the VIP Group in the store (board is outlined in gold) and not the Subscribers Group (board is outlined in silver). Then, with your group tag activated, click the box on the floor to get your free gift.

I’ve put a quick screenshot behind the cut, so you can see what you’re looking for!

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.
