Hallowe’en is a Big Thing™ in Second Life. Creators go nuts with outfits and usually this time of the year, you can’t find a single freebie that’s not Hallowe’en related. So, I’ve spent my time on building a spooky setting for Eden‘s big party this year.
That’s what’s behind the dark entrance way here!
Save the date: Saturday 28th October at 2pm SLT!
This dress is a FREE group gift from WellMade. Their group is FREE to join, so rush over and pick up yours today!
The dress is sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Kupra, and Reborn. It comes with a twenty two color HUD that lets you color the dress and ropes separately.
Here’s a FREE group gift top from Spotlight, whose group is FREE to join.
I like camo, and this top comes with twelve different color schemes via the included HUD.
There are sizes to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Reborn, Kupra, Kupra Kups, GenX, GenX Curvy, Freya, Legacy, and Legacy Perky. There is some minor clipping around the bottom hem in extreme poses, but there’s an alpha included if you’re using BoM. Also, as the sleeves are so long, you’ll want to use your body’s hands and not SLinks like I’m using here, or you’ll certainly see clipping.
This dress is a group gift from Salt & Pepper. It’s a little too reminiscent of the “camisk” style dress for my taste, but I can’t help showing it to you because of the fantastic texturing job.
There are fits for Lara, Lara Petite, Reborn, Reborn Juicy, Reborn Waifu, Gen X Classic, Classic Squishy, Dainty, and Dainty Squishy.
The HUD lets you chose from one of twelve colors, but where it gets exciting is the material picks, where you can chose from no shine, normal, or holo. The holo “shine” texture (the specular texture, to be technical), I’m guessing is the same texture as the pattern I’m wearing in the photos. As you move, various color reflections are highlighted, giving the dress a wonderful look.
Salt and Pepper is quite expensive to join at L$300, but they occasionally have free join weekends (which is how you’re truly got into the group) so it’s worth keeping an eye open. The store carries past group gifts, so if you do get into the group, this will be waiting for you!
I haven’t posted for a while, a lot of the free content I’m seeing recently I’m going “blah” at. But! This outfit deserves a post, can you guess what caught my eye?
The sandals of course, with their quirky heels and high laceups! I’m generally a fan of flat soles, I mean, walking in platforms is a pain, but at least in SL we don’t have to worry about losing our balance.
The sandals come with fits for Maitreya, Physique, and Hourglass and have an eleven color HUD that matches the dress colors.
The dress also fits Lara, Physique, and Hourglass. The colors are muted rather than bold, which gives me a chance to wear red.
The outfit is a group gift for members of the Paparazzi group, which is FREE to join.
This dress is a L$3 hunt prize on the Save the Sea Hunt 4. The hunt runs until the end of the month, so you have plenty of time!
The dress is sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Freya, Altamura, Hourglass, and Erika. It comes with a ten texture HUD, with of course some sea themed patterns, a few florals, and a plain red.
Do I want to post this? I sort of can’t resist because sometimes people make you laugh, and not because they’re funny.
Generally at night my time, when I’m getting dinner and relaxing before bed, I’ll log in to SL. Most of my SL friends are scattered all around the world and it’s unusual for me to find someone I know online at night, so I’ll run to a social place and plonk on a sit and hope for some casual conversation with someone interesting. But this is SL, and there are some really strange people…
Tonight, a girl IM’d me and complemented me on my looks, and as she was looking fine too, I returned the complement and made a casual joke about tattoo removal being easy in SL. To each their own however, if you love your tattoos, knock yourself out.
It turns out that this girl had some serious issues, as she’s apparently Maori (although her avi was as white as mine) and took offense when I mentioned her tatts. Apparently, she dislikes the English (to put it mildly), with one of her picks literally saying “f*ck off back to England”.
The funniest thing was she’d apparently looked in my picks too, and noticed Eden, and ended the conversation by calling it “the most cliquey girls club in SL” before bailing out of the region. Trying to hand her an apostrophe, I discovered she’d blocked me, with a vulgarly worded block message. Perhaps she should have read my pick about being the tech girl for Eden… as I log every visitor, and she’d never even been to the club.
As each of her picks ended with “SL = Shit Life”, I wonder what she gets out of Second Life at all…
Here’s a FREE group gift for members of Havoc. The Havoc group is FREE to join.
The bodysuit and thong are separates and both are sized to fit Lara, Legacy, Reborn, Kupra, Freya, and Hourglass.
The lace detailing is very pretty, but you’re a bit exposed unless you choose to wear a long hair such as I’m doing here, or add something else (just remember, it will need to be something without alpha).
Note, I’m unsure of how long this gift has been available as Havoc has the habit of changing out gifts on weekends, so grab it ASAP!
I’ve been away for a while, recharging a bit after the hectic sprint to finish the big work project, so no posts for far too long. Let’s make up for it with FREE outfits from two events, via Chic at Phil’s Place.
I grabbed this top and panty outfit mostly for the fantastic tied bracelets. The top, panties, arm bands, and bracelets are all separate pieces, and each piece is rigged for Lara, Legacy, and Reborn. It should be available up until the 5th of August as a FREE group gift at the Cosmopolitan Event!
And the next outfit is FREE at the Sense Event. This event closed on the 28th of July, but if you’re really quick, the vendor for this outfit is still there and functioning (I picked this up no more than an hour prior to publishing this post).
Unlike the other outfit, this outfit is all one piece, so no mix and match 🙂 It’s sized to fit Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Legacy.
Hello sweets, my apologies for the gap in posts, I’ve been working hard in RL on the final part of my huge work project that’s consumed a lot of my time and energy over the last three years! But it’s nearly finished!
I ran out this morning to look for something to show you, and I came across this past group gift top from Vagrant. Their group is FREE to join!
The top is sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, and Freya. While my photos don’t show it up well, it’s materials enabled, specifically it has a normal map on it. This may or may not be to your taste, and how much it shows up depends on what lighting you see it in. But you have nothing to lose… we love free gifts!
