Thanks again to Kat, I have an interesting outfit to show you today! Gabriel, I discovered, while mostly a store for guys, has some FREE gifts for us girls too! You don’t need to join a group, just buy for L$0.
The top, hoodie, and hair are all available to the right of the main entrance as you walk into the store. The top and hoodie are sized for Lara only, and the hair by Dura is really meant for under a cap but works well with the hood up if you don’t look too closely. The hair is unrigged, and has a resizer script. It also comes with a twenty four color HUD, with reds, browns, and blondes, and a couple of pale dyed colors.
I matched the top (or rather, Kat suggested I match it) with a past group gift from Blueberry. Kat the stylist! The pants also comes with a multicolor HUD, and fit Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Hourglass, and Physique.
I couldn’t resist picking up a second group gift from Yeliz yesterday. And when I say this is high cut, it’s high cut!
This dress is sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Alice, Altamura, Hourglass, Physique, Star, Curvy, Fine, and Minimizer! I’m glad I didn’t have to rig that many versions lol. It’s super high cut as I mentioned, and my, it’s sure cheeky at the back!
It also comes with a HUD with eighteen plain colors and four tartans.
This is a past group gift from Yeliz. Their group is L$50 to join, but as they have a number of past group gifts available, L$50 seems like a great deal to me!
The skirt and top are separates, both sized to fit Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, Isis, and Venus. There’s also a headband and bow in the box, but I didn’t wear it 🙂
While I was at GeMyles the other day, my letter came up on a Lucky Letter board. The store has a number of LL boards, and you don’t need to be a group member to play them (and even if you did, the group is FREE to join).
Similar to the dress I picked up there the other day, this one has a thirty two color HUD that just colors the dress fabric, leaving the straps and boots black. Both the dress and boots come with fits for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, Isis, Venus, and TMP. The dress also comes in fitmesh for the standard sizes for classic avatars.
My friend Kat showed me New Berlin today, specifically the German Newbie Center. I’m not much of a fan of the word “newbie”, I prefer “newcomer”, it sounds much more welcoming!
The reason Kat wanted me to visit is because the GNC has a stack of FREE clothes to help newcomers get started! Both guys and girls will find some great starter outfits here.
I grabbed a dress and some heels to show you at least one of the outfits you can easily create. The dress is sized for Lara, Venus, Physique, none of which I expect a newcomer to have. But it also comes with fitmesh versions for the five standard mesh sizes including an alpha, so that will fit a classic avatar right away. A good idea might be to include a notecard with a pointer to the standard body size information, and an explanation of the sizes.
The heels are called “Ribbon High Heels Black” which is super confusing, and they are really mids (at least they are on Maitreya). I prefer Slink as you probably know, but I use Lara’s mid feet because I only have a very small collection of mid high shoes. The shoes are in sizes for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and Ocacin. Again, a newcomer would hardly be expected to have any of these, so fortunately it comes in a size to fit Map feet too, which are FREE on marketplace. Again, a notecard would go a long way to helping someone new to SL.
The GNC is worth a visit if you’re a newcomer, or helping one out!
This awesome and daring dress is a FREE gift from GeMyles for members of FabFree. FabFree is FREE to join.
Included is the dress, heels, and a thirty two color HUD, which works for both the dress and heels. The dress is sized to fit Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and it also comes in the standard five sizes for classic avatars. The Jennie heels will fit Slink High, Belleza, Maitreya, and TMP.
Dress and Heels: Talula II Dress & Heels by GeMyles
This is a FREE group gift for members of SL Frees & Offers, which is of course FREE to join!
The bodysuit is sized to fit Lara, Curvy, Freya, and Hourglass. Also included in the pack is a blouse which in reality is the bodysuit missing the lower half 🙂
The outfit has some minor clipping issues in poses above the hips, so may be difficult to correct with alpha cuts, but you could easily do a custom alpha for it and wear it with BoM.
Bodysuit: Aika Set Body, Top [Turquoise] by Mangula
Alika is a new offering from The Forge, and I fell in love with it right away. I’ve paired it with the jacket from ….. Alika’s bare arms are definitely sexy, but I like the more utilitarian look with the jacket. Okay, yes, before you say anything, I know that the cutouts at the flanks and groin are … probably not the most utilitarian. What can I say? I believe in a sexy utilitarian aesthetic! I’m really happy that The Forge is supporting the Maitreya Petite add-on in addition to Lara and Legacy and Legacy Perky. A&Y’s Thrasher jacket is Lara and Legacy only, no petite, but since it’s open, it doesn’t really matter — it works great here.
I really love wearing exotic skins, and I completely love to put together outfits that make the best use of them. Here I’m wearing Psy Astrolight (cerulean)from Fallen Gods. I really love blues and purples, and it just seemed to work perfectly with the “oil” texture on Alika. Again, I’m featuring the Dext hair from A&Y and the beautiful Celestial face tatto from .::Nefekalum::... Does reusing elements get old? Perhaps, but I really love this hair, and the face tattoo makes a wonderful statement.
That’s it for me from the Cyber Faire. I feel like I got away easy… but I am so grateful to my friends for my rez-day spree. Mahalo nui to you both!
There’s still time for you to go throw all your lindens at the Cyber Faire — it closes on March 24th, so hurry hurry!
This lacy lingerie is a recent group gift from Elegance Boutique. Their group is FREE to join, and they have a number of past group gifts available.
The bustier and panties are separates and they’re sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Legacy, and Kupra. As they only come in bright red, I found the hair dye 🙂
