What’s happening in Second Life?

Très Chic is celebrating their 5th Anniversary, with the event opening yesterday, and running until June 10th.

I managed to get in today after only a few attempts.  Tip: switch on World->Show Friends Only and cam shop to save yourself from lots of lag.  There were approximately 50 avatars present when I visited.

There are lots of FREE gifts which you can pick up just by joining the FREE event group.

This dress and cardigan (the creator calls it a jacket, but I’ve never seen a knit jacket!) are separate pieces, and the dress is quite nice on its own or with the cardigan.  Both pieces in this gift come in the one color, and there are fits for Lara, Reborn, Legacy, and Legacy Perky.

It’s the last day of this round of the Sense Event today, and if you haven’t been over and grabbed the gifts for their 6th anniversary, you have only a few hours left to do so!

I think this full outfit from Finale Couture is the pick of the gifts.  The outfit includes pants, top, boots, and the necklace and bangle.  The top and pants are fitted for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.  Both the necklace and the bangle come un-rigged but do have resizer scripts.

The boots are left and right fits for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink.

The attention to detail with the texturing is what makes this though, right down to the tartan trim at the bottom of the cargo pants that match perfectly with the boots!

What lies beyond the dark?

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!

Save the Sea

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.

  • Dress: Veronica by Telsiope’s Coture

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.

This may be a first for me: criticism of an outfit from a favorite creator…

Glitzz is running an in-store “Welcome Summer” hunt.  Prizes are easy to find, as they each cost L$25.  There are twenty five of them to chose from.  The hunt runs until June 12th.

I selected an outfit from the hunt poster, a ruffled bikini in dark green and tropical highlights, knowing it would suit my hair color.  I was very happy when I tried it on…

…until I started running through poses looking for one to show you the back of the outfit…

…and experienced significant clipping in nothing more than moderate poses, so much so that I doubted the bikini bottoms had been rigged at all.  The photo below is a very ordinary stand.  In more extreme poses, the entire ruffle is buried.

Usually I’ll call out clipping if I notice it in extreme poses but then I’ll walk around in the outfit to see if day-to-day wear is going to cause the outfit to clip.  I also have a pretty wild dance that I use to test clipping.  If it doesn’t clip on this dance, I can be pretty confident that nothing else will make it clip.  But this bikini bottom failed that test too.

I don’t know if I was unlucky enough to select the only outfit that has an issue, but I’m really glad I didn’t outlay L$625 to buy all the outfits on the hunt.

The Fifty, the monthly event by the organizers of Fifty Linden Fridays, is celebrating an anniversary this round, and there are FREE gifts at most every creator’s stall.  Simply wear the Fifty Linden Fridays tag – FREE to join – to get them.

This bodysuit is the pick of the gift outfits.  It’s a wonderful design with the sheer fabric and lace ruffles.  There’s also a floral patterned version whose main fabric is more modest.

Sizes include Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Reborn.

Collabor88 is on at the moment, and I was having a wander around and I saw this dress.  The photo showed what I thought was a daring side cutaway crossed with ties.  I should have tried the demo, but as it was only L$188 for a single color and one of my favorite colors was staring me in the face, I didn’t.  When I tried it on, I realized the dress should have been 50% off, because it’s only 50% there!

Sizes include Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, eBody and eBody Curvy, Kupra, Belleza Classic (I’m guessing Venus?), Belleza Curvy (I’m guessing Freya?), Reborn (and “Juicy” addons”).

There’s also a fatpack available for L$1488.

It’s the UniK Event’s 4th anniversary this month, and most creators have anniversary gifts available for all.

This glittery dress is one of the FREE gifts.  It’s base color is a lovely emerald teal, with a fabulous underlay of glitter featuring lilac, this is one made for us red heads!  It’s sized to fit Lara, Freya, Hourglass, Reborn, Kupra, Gen.X and Gen.X Curvy, Erika, eBody Curvy, and Star.
