Free stuff, group gifts, and a dollarbie

I've been spending a lot of lindens lately (Arcade, Jewelry Expo, C88 etc etc...) so before I splashed out again, I thought I do some economising! Today's post features two looks which altogether cost a total of 1L.  A lot of the items are gifts from free-to-join groups, one is a dollarbie, and some are advent prizes.

The first look (very Merida!) features a dollarbie gown from Creative Chaos. The second look (after the jump) is a slave girl group gift from Delicious, there are a lot more ways to wear it, and the group is free to join, as always.

Hair for both, and the earrings from the second look, are prizes from the Emo-Tions group advent board. (It's just been switched form a current-day-only board to one which will give you all past gifts also. It can be a little laggy though, so you will probably need to wait a little while for delivery. (I'd suggest not slapping all the boards at once - maybe wait a bit in-between. And only slap each once or it will lag the system even more!)

Another cool thing about it - the gifts are either unisex or include female and male gifts.

Skins are group gifts from Al Vulo or YS&YS, and the poses are from the Advent gifts at Picture This. Again, you can also get the older gifts, and not just the current day's, and you don't even need to be a group member.

Mother of Pterodactyls

Dragons? So last season.

The shoulder pet to have now is a baby pterodactyl, as all the fantastical fashionistas know.

The Mieville Midway fair and gacha festival, featuring steampunk, goth, and alternative designers opens at noon SLT on Tuesday October 15th, and the cute Pteri shoulder pet from Unrepentant is just one of the gacha prizes you can play for.

Free gown: Group gift at Madison's Creations

Okay, I know I commented on how this blog had been almost taken over by gowns, just the other day... but here's another gown.

It's group gift time at Madison's Creations, and this black, white and red Danielle gown has been sent out to group members and subscribers. (I couldn't find how to retrieve the gown from the subscribo, so you will need to join the group and check the notices.)

My free alt goes shopping

I know I haven't posted much free stuff lately (though you can always check my frees page if you're feeling strapped for cash) so I thought I'd send my alt on my mission and prep a very quick post.

She currently has 6L to her name (she had 8L, but I let her buy two recent dollarbie skins at Mother Goose) but came home with a sackful of stuff, so I should be able to put together another couple of posts.

The main part of this outfit is a group gift from Delicious - it's copy and mod, so you can tint it to any colour you like.

Tunic & Belt: Delicious - Lei tintable tunic (group gift, includes necklace not shown)
Necklace & earrings: **RE** LUX Celeste - (free on marketplace)
Skin: {TaRget} Eva Skin - Tan  [Makeup 3] -C-  ('subscribo' gift, limited time)

Free silks... group gift from Delicious

Another group gift for you today, this time from Delicious, where there's a special extra Easter gift out. It's been named it in honour of Nasrin Sotoudeh, a human rights lawyer in Iran. (You can read more on the included notecard or on this wikipedia page.)

The silks are in a delicate creams and blues, and feature a mesh camisk or tunic top as well as traditional dancing silks.

It might not be out for too much longer, so don't delay. The group is free to join btw, and don't forget to check the week's special offer plus the lucky chairs and midnight mania in the main store.

As in yesterday's post, the poses are a gift from Diesel Works. The Natya set is still available as a free March gift, at the back of the store. Hopefully this slurl will point you in the right direction!

Free silks... group gift at Velvet Whip

Some nice free stuff in today's pics. Velvet Whip have just put out a brand new group gift, in the shape of these very striking 'Oriental Silks'. The group is free to join too.

The poses are Diesel Works's March gift which is the Natya set. Note: the gift isn't in the usual place, it's towards the back of the store, and it looks like a fairly plain brown box.

Free silks - group gift at Creative Chaos

Just a quick post tonight, to let you know that Creative Chaos have come up trumps again with another great group gift (group is free to join). This outfit is called Narella - Valentine (yes, it's been out for a couple of weeks, but it's still there for you to grab!

Lots of ways to wear it too - it comes with long or short silks, and an open or closed top, plus arm and leg bands.

Another Valentine's gift (well two)...

I don't have time to crack this outfit open & model it for you (bet you're really upset about that /sark) but wanted to let you know it's available for Delicious group members to grab now. (Group is free to join.)

Thoughtfully, there are two versions of the gift, one mesh-based, and one prim. Two different outfits in each as well - one for slave and for free.

Slurl to Delicious

Group gift at Velvet Whip

Gorean store Velvet Whip currently have a group gift out which slave girls, or fairies who like sunrise colours, might like to check out.

More gifts from The Plastik (and ellabella too!)

As if the pre-Christmas gift givers weren't enough bounty, a couple of gift packages were sent out recently to Plastik group members. Ellabella sent out a non-scripted version of a new release, while the Plastik box was full of goodies...

The.Plastik - Ataciara skin in Retro Chic plus makeup layer; Vae Collection eyes in Beauty;
Daunting Fate corset in Beauty; Annamalie armwarmers; Azrael pants

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

A quick post to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Solstice Celebration (ok maybe a couple of days late for that last one).

Today, Christmas Day, is a very special "gift round" of 25L Tuesday, with all the participating designers leaving out a special gift for you (some have sales too). Read more on the 25L Tuesday blog. 

I guess now is a good time to thank the wonderfully talented creators in Second Life for the beauty and creativity which they bring to our SLives all year round - and also for any Christmas gifts they might have given us :)

See you later - right now, there's some champagne and veggie treats with my name on them! Hoping you all spend a joyful day with your loved ones in all worlds.

Free silks and poses

Say hello to my free alt! She's been helping me experiment with shadows (result: undecided) as well as running round the grid to pick up some cute freebies to showcase here.

Free gown: Group gift at Just Darling

This month's group gift at Just Darling is a touch of whimsy - a recreation of Glinda the Good Witch's costume from the Wizard of Oz. (Group is free to join and the gift includes the stave also.)

Free silks at Creative Chaos

There are some new lucky chairs at Creative Chaos, and a group gift too, if you haven't already picked it up.

The lucky boards currently host two gowns and a silk, but I haven't won the gowns yet, so it's just silks today!
