What’s happening in Second Life?

Valentine’s Shop & Hop 2026

blue Leave a comment Events, LotD

The Shop & Hop is open for Valentine’s Day.  I’m not sure if I’ll have time to run around all 280 creator’s stores (14 regions!), but I did run and pick up this wonderful bodysuit gift for FREE to show you!

I picked it out browsing through the FabFree Shop & Hop Guide.  Thanks as usual to the FabFree crew of Porta and Beachy that put this together for us!

I’m not usually much for pink, it clashes with my hair.  But soft pinks like this, I can get away with (and dark pinks too for that matter), and as the lace is so pretty, I just had to grab it.  If you really like it but do want it in another color, you can pick one up for 25% off at the event.

Update: after reviewing my posts, I go and clean up my inventory, including filing the gift box away in case I ever accidentally delete an item.  Then I go and clean up all the objects rigged for bodies I don’t have, and in doing this, I noticed that the bodysuit comes with a four color HUD that I overlooked not ten minutes ago lol.  The other colors include nude, and two darker shades of pink.

The bodysuit comes in sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Legacy Bombshell, Reborn, Waifu, GenX Classic, and GenX Curvy.

SL22B is open!

blue Events, LotD

Second Life is celebrating it’s 22nd birthday, and celebrations are officially open today.

There are 76 regions full of things to experience!

And of course, the Shop & Hop is on, with 480 creators spread over 24 regions.

FabFree have again done a marvelous job of putting together a spreadsheet listing the gifts available at the Shop & Hop.  Make sure you head over to FabFree’s Info Hub in-world and show them some Linden Love for doing this!

My plan is to wait until Monday SLT, when the crowds might thin out a little as people are back at work in the US and EU.  But I couldn’t resist showing you at least one giftie today 🙂

This superbly detailed lingerie is a gift from deviousMind.  There are fits for Lara and Reborn.  The stockings are BoM, and all the other pieces are rigged mesh (which is good because everything moves with you, but bad because you can’t adjust how tight the pasties are hehe).

This is the lace version, but there is also a satin version in the pack.

As I mentioned, the detailing is superb; I had to take a closeup of the lilies and feathers.

The Evil Bunny Hunt is on at the moment, and I found this fab wrap romper.  Hunt items are a tiny L$1.

There are sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Pinup, Kupra, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu.

I love the daisies on the black polka dots!

Heaven

blue Events, LotD

Exciting news!  Addams is running a FREE hunt for Easter.  You must be in the group to participate, but that’s also FREE to join.

Included in the hunt items is this wonderful lace dress.   It’s in sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Bombshell, Kupra, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Reborn, Waifu, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass.

It’s only in this single color, but it does include a HUD to switch the sleeves and panty on and off.  It also lets you set the color of the single button.

This is a pretty nice gift for FREE, and there are eight more just as nice waiting for you to find at the store!

The hunt runs until the end of the month, so there’s plenty of time for you to find all nine pieces.

Cosmo’s 13th year!

blue Events, LotD

The Cosmopolitan Event is celebrating its 13th anniversary this month.  The event runs through until the 12th of April, so there is plenty of time left.

Lots of the creators have FREE gifts out to celebrate, and they’re yours for the asking by joining the FREE event group.

Here are two of the gifts I picked up.

This daring dress made by Coco Louis is sized for Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, and CL, CLD, CV, and CVD (abbreviations that I can’t decipher.  Drop me a note if you know).  You’ll certainly want some panties (and perhaps even pasties, depending on your shyness level) if you wear this out and about!

And matching perfectly is this fabulous pair of strapped high sandals for Maitreya, Legacy, and Reborn, by Little Fox.  These go so well with the dress they could have been made for it.  And they also include a thirty (yes, 30!) color HUD for the shoes, straps, and laces.  You can even pick a color for the soles of the sandals.

Both of these are fantastic gifts!  Run over to Cosmo before they’re all gone!

Valentine

blue Events, LotD

The Valentine’s Day Shop & Hop is on at the moment and runs until February 18th.  There are an enormous amount of shops spread over fourteen regions, and as the event is approaching the end, it’s not too crowded!

Most stores have FREE gifts, and I chose this “in theme” lingerie to show you.  It’s on BoM underwear layers, so it’s suitable for any body.

Saturday Sale Party

blue Events, LotD

The Saturday Sale Party Extravaganza is open at the moment, and there are a ton of FREE gifts to be had.  Most of the gifts don’t need a group, just pay L$0 and it’s yours.  The event runs until the 21st of October, which is just as well, as there are over 250 gifts to find and unpack.  Whew!

This dress is certainly eye-catching!

There are sizes for Lara, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, Waifu, and Juicy.  It comes with a thirty color HUD, twenty plains and ten animal prints.  You can get it for FREE at the event!

Cyberfish

The Sense Event is open at the moment, so I went for a browse (I really went for the group gift that they have at each event, but it was far too pink for my hair lol).  I came across these tank tops with some stunning art on them and had to get them!

These are L$150 from The Bold Llama, exclusive to the event.  There are sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Waifu, eBody, Venus, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Physique, GenX, TMP, and the five standard sizes.  The designs are switchable via an included HUD.

Swank 10th Anniversary

blue Events, LotD

It’s the Swank Event’s 10th anniversary this month, and there are a ton of FREE gifts from the creators at the event, yours for the asking just by wearing the FREE to join event group.

I spent half the day opening boxes, and while I found some really nice things, the one that really caught my eye was this dress from Melody.

It’s sized for Lara, Legacy, Reborn, and Curvy and Classic (which I’m assuming are eBody, but the creator doesn’t say).  The flared skirt is what makes this pop, and although it’s mesh and static, the creator has got just enough variation in it that it looks just right as you walk or dance!

The dress comes with a HUD with twenty plains and twenty patterns, so you’ll surely be able to find something you like.

Swank runs until the 30th of September, so you have plenty of time to find all the gifts, including this one!

Little Grey Dress

blue Events, LotD

This little dress is another FREE gift available at SL21B.  The Shop & Hop closes on the 21st of July, so there’s still plenty of time to go and find some nice gifts!

There are sizes for Lara X, Lara Petite X, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, and Waifu in the package.  There are very minor clipping issues near the hem in extreme poses.
