Sharp Shades

All mods need a cool pair of shades, its as essential as clean underwear! And recently I was generously given a pair by Ameshin Yossarian of Curious Kittens that completely blew me away.

The level of detail put into these FREE shades is exceptional, the beautifully transparent lenses, and sharp design of the frame arms make them look like shades you shelved out a few hundred lindens for; but no, they were a freebie gift...fantastic!

While your in the store, check out some other items maybe purchase one or two, free stuff this cool deserves a bit of of linden lurve!!!

Sometimes things get messy

Every now and then you get in that mood; you might take it out on the dance floor or you might go looking for other kinds of energy release. SL has a little something for everyone, including those of us who like things to get a little messy from time to time. And if you are going to get messy, you might as well dress the part.

There's lots of places that let you push the edge, and no place does it better than [Little Britain Designs] where new sets are offered up every week, as freebies and in the Lucky Chairs, Midnight Mania boards and camping chairs. (All of which are back. LB has moved again, so make note of the slurl.)

This week's offering is Massacre (which may explain the mood, come to think of it.) If you are shy about showing your tush, you might want to wear a pair of boxers under this -- when LB rips something, it really gets ripped.

Not everything I have on is free, but the ticket price wasn't outrageous and it got pulled together from things I already had either from prior hunts or earlier purchases.

Top to Bottom though, the hair is Daniel - Mocha, a group dollarbie from [a.C Studios]. It comes in a fatpack of all colors and it's low prim, which if you inhabit any of the RP or Combat sims, can be a big plus. The rusty skulls necklace is a dollarbie from [KOSH], and the simple celtic belt is a lucky chair win from [Phoenix Design]

[RocX] has these leather kick boots for free to group members along with this Exo unisex hair (in three sizes). Join the group, get the gifts. No fighting at all.

Not Free: The glasses are [HOC]'s aviator glasses, $40-$50L, with changeable lenses and frames.

The wrist cuff is from [Dogma] and is not free but ran about $100L for a pair of them.

The bruises and blood are also from [RocX] -- around $180L, but a nice set if you want to look like you are ready to kick some ass. (Or get your ass kicked -- whichever works.)

Given that these clothes ended up a little worse for the wear, I hauled on something a little more durable -- and where better to find clothes that can stand up to what you throw at them, then hitting [KOSH] and see what presents Daizy Dumpling left out for us over the weekend.

What I got was this To-The-Bones purple tank and this very cool crossed plaid belt. The Manky jeans are also from Kosh and a nice looking buy for $77L.

Head scarf is from [Rockerwear] and their $25L sale. I picked up the [Solar Eyewear ~ Nash] shades from the freebie rack at [Fabulous Fashion TV], and I'm pretty sure they are still there.

Square cross is the previously blogged piece from Mamesando. The arm wrap is a Discovery hunt prize from [Neko Wonderland], and you're gonna recognize the denim leg wrap from [LikeA] - I find a lot of use for it.

Not free: Hair is from [booN], YKZ851 black and the leg belt is another purchase from [Dogma].

Now, I think I need a hot shower and some serious breakfast. Wouldn't want anyone to think I'd been in a fight or anything.

Catwalking - never send a Neko out for milk

Send the cat out for milk and he'll drag home all kinds of things, and forget the milk. But you can't really fault him, because obviously the milk was an elusive prey and Jenvi did bring home the bacon, so to speak.

He found these well detailed jeans at [AB Apparel] . They come with a vintage t-shirt as well (not shown).
Across the sim is [Diversity Hair], and the *DH* Josh-Mega Pack. Diversity does some nice hair and this short fringe is pretty versatile. You'll find it on the second floor on the inside wall.

If you hadn't caught it, [::Maschienenwerk::] has moved, but Armin is still dishing up some seriously nice freebies, including this pair of dark denims and this fun Tigerpaw t-shirt. Everything in the shop is free and there's three levels and two wings, most of the new stuff is up on the third floor, just like before. And if you have a few lindens, make sure to toss them at the proprietor.

If you haven't joined the group at [**LikeA**], you might want to rethink it. The leg banndanas I often wear are still there and still free, but you can also get the group gift offering, in this case the RED STILL CRAZY group gift jeans. There's a lucky board there too, offering more standard denims and the jeans come with and without the cuff skirts so you can adjust them to whatever else you are wearing, as Jenvi did to wear the [Bukka] Engineer boots he snagged from the lucky chair. These have been blogged before but they are still available and they are a nice pair of general purpose workboots.

Kick over to the the Sezuan series of sims, and wander the streets and alleys, and you never know what you might score. From [FA Creations Shopp] comes this riotous tank top and just down a couple of streets, [Kumaki Glasses Style] offers up these frame and lens changeable sunglasses (K_gs 231). The whole sim set is worth exploring; Moloko is taking over a another parcel there and they look to be in the middle of expanding, so if you are into Neko wear or grunge, this might be a place worth your time.

His last stop included two favorite places; [A:S:S] and the Kosh/[Concrete Flowers] pair of stores. A:S:S scored him this V-neck knit - grey sweater, part of the secret dollarbie hunt Photos has going on. No guarantee on how long it will last. Concrete Flowers has this Rainbow Crashing t-shirt up on their dollar wall, along with another t-shirt and you never know what will show up in their lucky chair. The jeans Jenvi has on are the [**LikeA**] group gift I told you about.

Not a bad haul for a kitty with ADD.

But I still have to go out and get the milk.

===
Jenvi is wearing a free skin (Male PA-My Blackbold) and shape (SeM Shape 211cm) from [.::Fashion Bar Peppermint Blue::.], you can pick them up in almost any of the men's packs Alice releases, in various body heights and skin tones.

Summer is close

Update: Fukmi is having a special 50% sale on red and blue items in her main shop from 8AM SLT Saturday, May 23rd to 8PM SLT Monday, May 25th.

Today has been a warm, sunny day. Next Saturday I'll go sail again so I am drawing out my swimwear and sunglasses, ready to go!
Why don't do the same with my avatar? Ok, he can't really sail or swim, he only feels safe when he's on the beach. Tch, coward.



I already blogged about Mya but I showed only the free hairstyles.
The swimwear I am showing are free as well.
Four different colors (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow), both underwear and pants layers.

Beach=Flip Flops!
Wereable, nicely done and trendy, made by Heather Connolly for Fukmi. Not free but cheap!
Each pair is priced at 75L$. You can find them in many colors and if you are undecided the fatpack is for you: all for 325L$.

The cool shades are from Kumaki glasses, no longer available but in shop there is a lucky board with cool heart shaped shades for girls.



See? He sleeps while sitting. WAKE UP!

Freebies for the Freebies Blog

Left:

• As mentioned by Reid, the hair is a group gift available at Discord. It comes in two flavours: brown (pictured) and silver tipped. So grab it while you can. Props to Justify for sending out a notice to the FFFM group.
• Supreme Fashion has a couple of unisex jackets available for free at their store. The lighting in this picture is off, because this bad boy is bright. It's probably not something you'll see me wearing in an everyday situation. But next time I'm at an event being covered by the SL media, you can bet I'll have it on. If only for the convenience of easily spotting myself in the footage that is taken there.

Right:

• The sunglasses are a subscribe-o-matic gift from Savvy Avvy. By the time I post this, these glasses may not be available anymore, instead being replaced by a different pair. It's just the nature of subscribo gifts, I guess.
• Suri pointed me in the direction of a great little freebie store called Uncle Wiggly. Not a huge selection, but what they do have is pretty nice. I got this green graphic tee (and you can never have too many of those) and this awesome plywood cube necklace there.

Not Free:

• Jeans, cuffs, skin, tattoos and facial jewellery.
