Look of the day

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!

This jumpsuit is a past group gift for members of the Blackbird Lace group.  The group is FREE to join.

I’m not sure how I overlooked this giftie, I like jumpsuits for everyday walking around 🙂

The pants and top are separates, which is unusual for a jumpsuit, but makes the pants versatile so you can wear them with another top.  The pants are sized for Lara, Legacy, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, and Reborn.  The tops include the pants sizes, with the addition of top sizes for Lara Petite, Kupra Bimbo, and Kupra Low.

The gift is also a fatpack, and includes a HUD with ten colors to chose from.

I have a nice group gift to show you from Glitzz today.  Glitzz costs L$300 to join, but occasionally has free join days, and they do have past group gifts available.

The dress is a fatpack, and comes with a twenty five color HUD.  Sizes include Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Kupra, Reborn, and Waifu.

Hi sweets!  Yay, I found something FREE to show you.  This is a FREE group gift at Ricielli.  It was released around Christmas time, but is still available in-store when you join their FREE group.

The dress is PBR textured, and you’ll need a recent version of the viewer to see it properly.  Being PBR, it can look very different under various lighting.  For these photos, I’ve used a night sky and point lighting to make the dress appear much darker than it is in broad daylight, just so I don’t have to dye my hair blonde to show it to you 🙂

The dress is sized for Lara X, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu.

An alpha layer to suit is also included.

This is a FREE gift from zOOm for members of SLF&O.  The SLF&O group is FREE to join.

There are sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, and Freya, and the dress comes in three colors.  A fantastic little dress for spring!

There’s been some talk recently about creators getting jittery with some things LL have been discussing.  Including discussing in what (to some) appeared to be a meeting with creators that was a) not held in-world and b) appeared to be with the lab and elitist creators to the exclusion of others.

(I can confirm that (b) is not true, it just appeared that way).

Some people have reported that this has led to a downturn in creators actually creating anything recently.  I’m not sure how true this is, but I have certainly noticed a downturn in what I call “blog fodder” in the last twelve months.  This is hardly an excuse for the lack of posts here, just the fact that there really hasn’t been much of quality to report on.

Fortunately, the other day this changed with MAAI releasing a very nice group gift.

This strappy mini-dress and body suit are separates, and both are sized for Lara, Lara Petite, Kupra, Legacy, and Legacy Perky.  The box includes a HUD to set to the buckles and zipper to gold or silver too.

There are patches of breakthrough on the body suit, particularly around the elbows and armpits in extreme poses, but you’ll probably not notice anything just walking around.

And of course, each piece can be worn separately.

Salt & Pepper are celebrating ten years in SL with a marvelous group gift gown!  The group is a little expensive to join at L$300, but they occasionally have free join weekends, and past group gifts are available.

The gown is in sizes for Lara X, Lara X Petite, GenX Classic, GenX Dainty, Reborn, and Waifu, and includes an alpha.

The gown is PBR textured with no fallback textures, so you’ll need a PBR capable viewer to see it correctly.

The gown also includes an eighteen color HUD that allows you to select colors for the main gown and the lace separately, so you’re sure to find something to suit you!

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.

Hello sweets!  After all the tech in my last post, I thought I better find a dress for you!  This one is a FREE gift in-world at Tiffany Designs.  You don’t even need to join a group to get it.

There are sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, GenX, GenX Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Peach, Bombshell, Waifu, and Reborn.  It comes with a fifteen color/texture HUD, and as you can see, the creator is making great use of materials.

I’m wearing Lara X here, but after I took the photo below, I noticed a few sections of breakthrough, which I’ve brushed out.  I tried the Lara version on, and the rigging is much better.  You can’t complain for a FREE dress!

Here’s a group gift from Blackbird Lace.  The Blackbird Lace group is FREE to join.

Good freebies seem to be getting harder to find.  Or I’m out of practice, or I’ve reached the point where the number of good freebies in my inventory ≅ the number in world lol.

This dress comes in sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Belleza, Belleza Curvy, Belleza Dainty, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Peach, Kupra, Erika, and Reborn.  It comes with a HUD with dozens of colors to pick from (so many, I’m not counting them).  You can also select a few various materials and shine levels for the fabric, and metal colors for the rings.

There is also a matching pair of heels in the pack, however, I refuse to wear platforms over half an inch, so I’m not showing them 🙂
