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!
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.
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!
Dress: Yassira by Melody, available at their booth at the Swank Event
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.
Dress: OMG It’s the Sweet Little Grey Dress! by Small, available Small’s booth at SL21B Shop & Hop
I always find visiting The Forge at events dangerous, and I usually end up buying whatever their latest release is 🙂 This time I resisted though, and will just show off their gift bodysuit and matching garter belt.
The bodysuit and belt are separate items. Both are sizes for Lara X, Ebody, Ebody Waifu, Legacy, and Legacy Perky.
The detailing on this is amazing, all the lace is actually done with mesh instead of a texture. While this looks fantastic, and an outfit like this deserves to be looked at close up, the distance where the server decides to show a lower level of detail (causing the lace to basically collapse) is only a few meters, which is a shame. If I wear this to a lingerie event, at least my dance partner will appreciate it 🙂
Hi sweets! Here’s another FREE gift from the SL21B Shop & Hop.
The tops and bottoms of this bikini are separates. The bottoms come sized for Lara, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn, with additional sizes of Legacy Perky, Reborn Waifu, and Reborn Juicy for the tops.
There’s also a HUD with three versions of the pattern available: silk, metallic, and wet. You can also choose from three lace styles and an opaque verses sheer setting.
In case you’ve missed it, it was Second Life’s 21st birthday the other day, and there’s a month of celebrations and events happening.
Of course, one of the big events is the Shop & Hop, which unbelievably covers twenty four regions with over 480 creators this year! Just as well for the girls at FabFree (more on this in a sec) or you’d be wandering around for weeks!
This is the first giftie I want to show you.
This short sleeved dress is sized for Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Peach, Kupra, Khara, Belleza Gen X, and Gen X Curvy.
It has a HUD with a very nice selection of abstract floral patterns, some subtle like the one I’m wearing, some much more bright, for a total of twelve in all, so you’re sure to find something you like.
The chain belt is a separate object, and is sized for the major bodies mentioned above. It also has a twelve color selection.
Now, a big thank you! must go out to the girls at FabFree for getting early access to the Shop & Hop and putting together a comprehensive spreadsheet of all the gifts on offer, including photos of most of them! For all 450+ stores. What a fantastic effort! You can find the spreadsheet via the FabFree SL21B post on their website. I highly recommend it!
Hair Fair, one of my favorite yearly events, is open! The event covers six regions, and is chock full of the very best hairstylists in SL. There are event exclusives, discounted items, and even some gifts for you to find.
Rush over and have a look! The event runs until the 16th of June, and benefits Wigs For Kids, with a percentage of most items being donated (or you can donate at a kiosk, and don’t forget to buy a bandana).
No Match is offering this wonderful gift that I picked up to show you. I’ll have to return tomorrow to browse all the booths!
This inverted bob is certainly my style! It’s unrigged and also comes with a resize script. The base HUD has thirty six colors and there are two other HUDS – ombré and unicorn – with twenty four more colors!
And, if that’s not enough, the hair is modify, so you can tint it to get the color just as you like. I do this for hairs that let me so I can get close to my RL color.
The creator has also been thoughtful enough to include matching hairbases for all the base colors in both classic BoM and EvoX, which are also mod. This is a very nice gift! Don’t miss out!
Hairstyle: No_Inspiration by No.Match, available for FREE at Hair Fair
This is a slightly scary one. The mythology around fauns is filled with stories of them playing tricks on humans, and being indifferent to the results, as long as they get a chuckle or get what they want. If you’ve ever seen the movie “Pan’s Labyrinth”, you’ll know what I mean.
At The Warehouse Sale, there’s a FREE gift for members of the FabFree group from BeSpoke, who describe themselves as “a collective of artists, deviants, and makers”. If you’ve not seen their work before, it tends to lean very much to the darker side, as do most of the items available at this event. This free Bento faun head is no different.
There are dozens of items in the pack, including two female and two male heads to support both SLUV and EvoX mapping, female and male skins and starter shapes, eyes, addons such as the black nose and deer dots makeup I’m wearing here, and the horns.
The HUD is extensive, and it has all the usual options you’d expect with a modern head, including HD texturing for lips, eyes, eye shadow, and brows, various teeth types (I’m not showing you those, some of those really are scary), a load of static and non-static face animations, normal mapping for some facial features, and more.
I took the head parameters from the starter shape and modified a copy of my usual body shape accordingly. The settings I used were all the default ones in the head’s starter shape with the exception of the mouth width and lip fullness, both of which I dialed down to make the mouth smaller, which to my eye suits the pointed chin far better.
The only tiny issue is the head has a slight halo that shows up against transparent backgrounds (you can see it in the second photo), but for FREE, this is a wonderful gift if you’d like to dip your toes into fantasy RP, or play the darker side of furry.
Oh, and if you’d like to look slightly more human, there are human style eyes in the kit instead of the goat eyes 🙂
At the Très Chic event, one of the FREE gifts you can pick up are these rather amazing thigh high boots. The sparkles are animated and you can switch them and the materials on and off via the provided HUD. They come sized for Lara X, Reborn, and Legacy.
I kept them, because, you know, they’re shiny! But I didn’t think I’d even wear them with anything, having seen the matching dresses at another event last week and deciding such, shall we say, “sequined extravagance”? was not worth the asking price for what would probably be a one-off wear.
But! Announced in the creator’s group today, the matching silver dress is on sale on her marketplace store for L$90 but only until Satuday (SLT). This is a significant discount from the price that was asked at the event last week. So I bought it 🙂
There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu.
