I found this very simple black romper at Un!q, as a FREE group gift for members of Fab Free.  I’m wearing it today to show off two lovely gifts that Aeon got for me over the holiday period.  The romper is sized for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, Physique, and Hourglass.

Aeon wanted to get me something for my cheetah, but she realized she didn’t know kemono well enough, so I picked out some things which she got for me. One of them was  this hairstyle, which is not only a perfect match for the cheetah in auburn, but it also works really well in human form too in my more usual red.

The other gift Aeon got me was this absolutely gorgeous necklace!  It’s from EarthStones, whom we both like as jewelry makers.  I found our eternity rings there too.

Here’s another outfit from Hunt For Your Inner Slut.  The hunt goes until February the 15th.

This is a mini kimono (underline mini)!  I’m interested in Japanese culture, and I had no idea such a thing existed 😉  Sizes included are Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.  It comes with a five texture HUD is various combinations of this pretty floral pattern.

Soraya

The dress and heels are two group gifts for members of Mesh Body Friends from Scandalize!

The dress is actually called Soraya the Witch, and the included HUD has plains, bats (shown), and a spider web pattern (22 colors each) to go along with the name 🙂  Sizes are Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Legacy.

As mentioned, the heels are a separate gift for the same group right next to the dress.  They also come with texturing, this time in two HUDs, one for the heel and sole, and one for the straps and platform.  Each HUD has 43 colors to chose from for each of the four parts!  There are sizes for Lara, Belleza, and Slink.

And oh my, the dress is a little… skimpy behind!

Lemon Drop

blue Places

An old friend of mine in SL is a full time furry.  I think I met him in my first week and have kept in contact on and off over the years.  He’s one of those people in SL that has been content to be a vagabond all his second life, and never had a place to really call home… until he discovered Lemon Drop Valley.

He told me that he took one look at this place and knew he had to grab a little slice of it, and I have to agree with him, it’s one of the prettiest sims in SL 🙂

The place is owned and run by furries, and they’re the predominant people there, although I see no restrictions on who can rent.  There are a number of established group owned houses for rent, but I understand that you can negotiate with the owners to come to a mutually satisfactory deal (the rent is based on L$1 a prim per week).

The sim is rated Adult, and gorgeously decorated, although it would be nice if there were a few more public cuddle spots that overlooked the scenery.

My photos don’t really do it justice, you should go and have a look for yourself!

Huntress boots

blue LotD

It’s not often I do a post solely (pardon the pun) about shoes, I like to show shoes with an outfit as part of an overall look.  But these boots are worthy of a post by themselves!

Obviously, if you’re into horses, you should run, not walk, to get these in case they vanish.  They are FREE, yes L$0 on the marketplace (link below).  Not only that, but all the items in the eSSent marketplace store have just been set to FREE, so go and grab them now!

The detailing on these is absolutely superb, and I do mean superb!  The stitching, fasteners, even down to the use of materials on the leather and the elastic closures at the back is nothing short of amazing.  And if that’s not enough, they come with a universal color HUD with 24 presets.  You can texture the boots, insert, top, elastic, metal, and the sole individually any color you like, so you can make these uniquely yours.

The spurs are a separate object, so you can wear the boots plain too.

Sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.

Here’s a very generous gift for teleporthub.com members!  Teleporthub.com is L$10 to join, and I’m sure you’ve all heard me say before that it gives you access to dozens of creators all over the grid offering FREE outfits.

It includes the top, skirt, and belly chain, all sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.  The box also contains the heels, sized for each of the bodies listed, except for there are no fits for Slink.  Strange.

An integrated HUD lets you pick from ten colors for the top, fifteen colors and patterns for the skirt, three metals for the chain, and ten for the heels.

There’s also a resizable belled choker in the pack which I’ve chosen not to wear.

Now for something completely different 🙂  This is a FREE group gift for the members of teleporthub.com.  The group is a tiny L$10 to join, but it opens up a vast number of creators all across the grid that offer FREE gifts for members.

The outfit includes the bodysuit (for want of a better word), the hat, boots, and stockings.  The bodysuit is sized for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass, and the boots are sized for the same three bodies.  The stockings are in Maiteya and Slink appliers.

I hate hats in SL 🙂  This one, for some reason, has an invisible prim as the root, and it’s way off center from the hat itself, so the first thing to do is to move that root prim so it’s in line with the hat!  Only then does it become easy to adjust the hat to your hair.  And… this was not going to fit my normal hair without being ridiculously large anyway, so I resorted to my emergency “hat hair”.  If you don’t have a copy of this, it’s certainly worth picking up for those events where you just have to wear a hat, and you can’t be bothered adjusting a hair to fit.

Rant out of the way, I just adore these boots 🙂

This is a FREE group gift for members of Fab Free.  The group is FREE to join.

The top and skirt are separates, and both are sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.  The pack includes a HUD with fourteen colors for the top, and you can color the ruffle separately.  The skirt also has two panels you can individually color, and the lace color can also be chosen from the same eleven colors.

The only tiny niggle with this is the sleeve ruffles are connected to the top, which makes for some interesting fabric stretch when your arms are up 🙂
