Here’s a sexy FREE gift for members of the FabFree group. The Fabulously Free in Second Life group is FREE to join.
The outfit includes the fishnet lingerie as Omega, Maitreya, and Slink appliers. Also included are the system layers for BoM or classic avatars. The boots are included and come in both rigged and unrigged versions. And it all comes in ten different colors, so you can match easily!
Another outfit from the XXX Original Event today, this time from Brii Underground Wear. There are literally dozens of FREE gifties at the event, just for the asking once you’ve joined the FREE event group!
This outfit includes the sandals in sizes for Lara, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, the collar in five standard sizes, the suit for the same sizes as the sandals, and an Omega applier for the underwear and the gloves.
This is a fab suit for RP, or whatever dark theme takes your fancy. Now, where’s my whip? 🙂
Brii Underground has an in-store hunt on at the moment called Dressed For Love 2. There are ten hunt items containing a full outfit and each is only L$6! Yes, for a mere L$6, you get all the clothing and jewelry you see me wearing here (if you pick the same hunt item I did).
The jewelry set includes matching earrings, necklace, bracelets, and ring. All have resizer scripts and are all low complexity while still looking nice. My avatar’s complexity wearing this outfit is just short of 70,000. I have a necklace alone that’s more than that lol.
The lace camisette comes in standard sizing, fitmesh for classic avatars, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Physique, and Venus.
The matching panties and stockings come on system underwear and socks layers, and appliers for Maitreya, Slink, and Omega.
There is even a full makeup kit in an Omega applier for the Jessica Catwa head. I was going to try it, but no, it’s not for GA.EG, although it may work. But I’m going to bet that in no way is it redhead friendly lol.
Finally, the shoes are for high feet and come in sizes for classic avatars, and versions for Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza.
Lately I have taken an interest in doing clothes texturing, using purchased full perm models that allow one to selectively edit texture faces. While I have pondered selling some of these, which is what most people do who work with the full perm models, so far I have just been tinkering for myself, in order to get unique looks and/or make outfits that reflect ‘me.’ The full perm models are not inexpensive, being in the range of 500L to 1500L typically, as the expectation is that one is selling your new creations and thus eventually recoup your expenditure. However, if the cost does not deter you… follow me on a little path to see what you can do 🙂
For this first installment I will focus on something simple (and very small!). The common component in all of these outfits below is the Angel skirt by Gunshot, which is also a very reasonable 250L. This is a teeny-tiny skirt that really doesn’t cover much at all (which… frankly, was my goal). 😀 Now most people would supplement this with a pair of panties but I chose not to.
The skirt contains three material faces that can each be textured in different ways. They can also be different between front and back but the design of the skirt tends more toward it being the same all the way around front to back. The Gunshot package for the skirt contains models for all of the major mesh bodies as well as four sample textures, a shadow map, and a UV map. All of these latter items can be used in an external graphics program to create your own textures, which can then be uploaded to SL and applied to the mesh model.
In this first outfit, I textured the skirt with an opaque white band around the top, and the two main layers all in lace, to match the lace top and the lace cuffs on the sleeves. This is an example of where I mixed and matched a ton of things, along with the custom pieces, to get just the look I was after, an innocent snowflake faerie (okay, maybe just snowflake faerie…)
For this one I wanted to match the skirt to the top, which is also a full perm model. Before I found the original model, I had purchased a version of it from a vendor who had made her own texture for it. As I liked that shade of blue I wanted to match everything to it, which I did with the Angel skirt and the full perm sleeves from another full perm creator. In this case the top two bands of the skirt are solid, and the small band along the bottom is a lace pattern that matches the lace along the bottom hem of the top.
Top: Kara Top by Vaxer (the full perm model is CBB106 by Cool Big Bird )
Accessories: Good Kitty Collar by The Sugar Garden/tsg; Heart Charm Necklace by Bowtique (Marketplace link); Endear Ladies Key Necklace by EarthStones; Giftwrap Garter and Cuffs by Sweet Thing; Armour Waist Chain and Seacrest Waist Chain by La Sirena (Marketplace store); BoHo Style Hand Jewelry Butterfly by SilveryK
Another vendor who took the Gunshot Baude top and created a nice texture for it is ArisArisB&W, who applied a pretty denim pattern. I created a matching version for the skirt across all three texture bands.
Top: Nicety top by ArisArisB&W (the model is the same Gunshot Baude top as I used in the Snowflake image above)
Accessories: Dragonfly necklace by Pixel Box; Elaine Belt and Garter by Nanika; Armour Waist Chain and Seacrest Waist Chain by La Sirena (Marketplace store);
Arm Harness by L’Emporio
And finally, back to lace, this time with a rose tint and a slightly Victorian look (is not sure the Queen would approve). Here I used the actual Gunshot Baude top with the Angel skirt, modifying the lace pattern from Snowflake to be a little softer in color (as well as a bit more see through… blushes!).
Accessories: Jabot collar by Cog & Fleur; Lolita Lace Cuffs by Sweet Thing; Armour Waist Chain and Seacrest Waist Chain by La Sirena (Marketplace store)
Pose: The Irie Series – Four (m) by an lar (closed)
While these examples of re-texturing have been pretty simple, they’ve been fun in allowing me to make things that are just right for what I want. 🙂 In future installments of Do It Yourself I hope to show you some more complex examples.
Back to Photoshop! More lacy and frilly things await! Cheers!
A couple of weeks ago I told you about an in-store hunt at Brii Underground. Here’s another of the items from that hunt.
The outfit comes with the top, pants, boots, and the jewelry. The top and pants are sized for Lara, Isis, Freya, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique. There is also a full Omega makeup, which I’m not wearing, and sunglasses too!
This outfit includes the dungarees, shoes, bangles, bra, and sunglasses. The dungarees come in stand mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for classic avatars, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, Fine, TMP, and Ocacin.
Sizes for the sneakers also have you covered with Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza all supplied. The bra is in an Omega applier and a shirt system layer, which covers all the bodies mentioned above. There’s also a necklace that matches the bracelets that I’ve not worn.
For an easy hunt where the items are L$6 only, this is a pretty amazing outfit!
Well, I’m showing you another outfit from Brii’s in-store Punk Girl Hunt a little earlier than I thought I was going to be, but never mind 🙂
The entire outfit, including the boots, collar, tattoos, stockings, belt, panties, and top is included in this L$6 hunt item!
The boots have a resizer script (and are going to become my go-to motorcycle boots!), and the stockings and tattoos are all one layer and have appliers for Maitreya, Slink, and Omega. The mesh top and panties are fitmesh sizes for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Isis, Freya, and Venus.
There is also a full makeup for Omega and Catwa included, but the lipstick is too red for my hair, so I’m being tricky and overlaying with my usual lippie.
Brii Underground is running an in-store hunt with ten, yes ten complete punk rock outfits for just L$6 each! The hunt runs through until the end of November, so there’s plenty of time to find all of them (and it’s a really easy hunt)!
Here’s the first one that I liked. I’m sure I’ll show you at least one more before the month is out.
The outfit includes, the top and dress which is a one piece, the bracers, the choker, appliers (Maitreya, SLink, and Omega) for the socks and makeup, and the shoes! There are standard mesh sizes for the dress, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Belleza, Physique, and Hourglass, and the attachments include resizer scripts.
I absolutely love the front graphic of the alien! LOL
You know, I was wandering about, looking for a lovely place to take some pictures, and I came across this sign. And I thought “wow, what wisdom that is — be with people who make you happy”.

Some beautiful new makeup from Alaska Metro <3: Rose Gold features some lovely gently glittery lippy and eyeshadow five different gentle shades with classic, Omega, Lelutka and Catwa appliers! 4Mesh runs from September 12th through October 11, so don’t dawdle.
I thought about it a little more… and it’s true, there are many who fill my life with joy and love and laughter. My Blue, my sister, my friends, the dear heart who helps me edit some images every now and again…. I have a hard time imagining where I would be without each and every one of them
But then, too, sometimes… you need your priorities right. If you don’t love yourself, how would you expect anyone else to? Stretch your wings and fly.
