Top dress ..bikini and dress, or skirt and top ..is free in the rocket, part of the NCI SL6B hunt

Cushions to flop on, and do I need to flop!

DV8 from your plan today......

...and get down to the Hair Fair! Finally the numbers have dropped and so has the lag but allll the goodies are still there ..These are the bits I picked up from DV8 in the SW sim ..1 of 4 sims. Yes, even the entire Kitteh outfit, which is in fact a mix of 2 outfits they very generously gifted to us. The tail has a menu for you of 6 actions but hilariously when others touch your tail it responds, giving them 12 options and you 12 responses LOL! All the hair in this post is free in their 3 piles of gifts.
The white outfit is free at Saschas with the black version here

RIP Michael Jackson

This post is a tribute to the extraordinary life of Michael Jackson.
To say I was shocked is an understatement, and sad doesn't cover it either. I am in mourning and I hope you can all understand If I do only this post today. I am only one year older than he was and both me and my son grew up with him. His music and videos will live on as his legacy to us all.
I went on the hunt for MJ memorabilia and was surprised to find a few memorial sites already set up. You can go here to leave a tribute to him as many have already done. The MJ poses you see us doing are at H & S for 0L, along with 2 others, today only. You can also leave a tribute there too. The T shirt my baby is wearing, one of a few, and hollywood star are at Dryssen Designs and are 50L each.
Farrah Fawcett also died yesterday and in tribute to her Lemania has left this pants outfit that I have on, in the group gifts, join here.
While you are there please tune into the music stream, today she is playing non stop MJ music and is giving away locations of hidden outfits, only available if you listen in. Also she has set up the 2 pictures you see in our background as well as a dance ball so we can dance to the music he made for us all.
I will leave you all to get on with your day now and see you again tomorrow.

All that Glitters...

...is gold!
Glitter offers us a wide variety of items at Lemania's new castle shops. Shine stocks everything from clothing to hair to furniture. The bathroom set shown (Also available in gold) Is a mere 100L, and includes the table, towel rail and a bottle of bubble bath (not shown). Every day she has a different 50% off (middle picture is todays) If you don't grab it today you will miss out and it will be back to full price tomorrow. Gun girl I am wearing on the horse (Star, my baby :D ) was the offer a few days ago. Top and bottom hair shown are by her too and have that gorgeous natural movement we all love so much. So giddy up horsey, let's go!!

Addicted to VvB

Addicted to Heels & Rubber?
Well here are some for you now thanks to the awesomeness that are Addictions & VvB All the rubber outfits are freebies at Addictions, the beautifully detailed green catsuit is available to all and the rest are group gifts. The green is also available for guys :) Please note the immaculate repro of the shine, particularly in the green.
I couldn't help but be drawn to the VvB section of the store, being a succer for mega heels in RL, so I bought a pair and before I knew it Viktoria was in the shop with me and told me about her mainstore here. They are from 150L up and well worth every penny! I honestly think I have found Heel Heaven!!

Hats on @ Couture Chapeau

Hats off to the wonderful Chigadee London @ Couture Chapeau!! This lady is so diverse I had to include all these pictures to showcase that!
Ok, from the bottom up
This funky little creation is the hat from Thai Blue Dress ensemble in the orange diamond hunt gift (Find the top hat ;) ) and is free
The next 2 pictures is the Soca I got as my 1st gift in the DSN. You can subscribe to that in her shop, right by her own subscribe, highly reccomend you join both. What an incredible gift, I was blown away by the stunning details, the feather attachments move so realistically too!
The gorgeous Frangipani Dress and the Suit of Armour (Sword not included) are not free but sooo incredibly detailed, I had to include them!
The gorgeous Parasol is 50L and is so pretty with the lace and flowers. You can also now have your own personal rainstorm for 1L, beside the parasol. Watch out, it has some hilarious side effects ;) Belt worn in that pic is the current subscribe gift :) This store has something for everyone, and to be honest I think it has a hell of a lot for everyone. Currently she is doing a retrospective of Sophia Lorens hats and has a huge section of 50% off hats too. Go get em girls!

Lois the Xmas Fairy

Has Xmas come early? No but in this beautifully crafted freebie you might be excused for thinking so. This is from the new kid on the block at the famous French Farm, Lois Designs, both these outfits are from there, the Peace Fairy is discounted 50L off regular price and the red dress is free!! I defy you to not fall in love with her beautiful, elegant and feminine dresses. They have to be seen to be believed. Run like the wind ..no ..fly cos the freebie will be only for a short period!
The hair is from Bewitched, both styles are in one phatpack all colours for an amazing 100L Updo department again

Ohhhhhh sparkly things!!!!

Ok so you all know by now I love high detail clothes (especially gothic stuff), I'm a sucker for eyes, I love hair.. could it be possible I have an addiction to something else too? YEP.. I do.. Jewelery :) Yet sometimes in SL just as it is in RL a diamond costs a years wages lol.. not in this shop though!!! At The blue pearl there is a small selection of nice jewlery for 5L and under!! Nothing that I personally clicked on was more then that. There's even a lil row of freebies or dollarables. Most of the things there come in full sets.. so take a teleport on over and add a few more sparkly things to your jewelery box!

I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so

Ok, ready for another?
I decided to go look at Fujiyama Geisha's after some time and boy, I was not disappointed. This is like a Mall all by itself, many different creators have shops here and every single one of them is totally free, About half of them are selling ... oops, ...giving, variations of kimono's from very plain to incredibly ornate and decorative. (Some even include poofers and coloured lights not shown) and other traditional Japanese things like AO, dances etc. The other half provides more westernised things, clothing, skin, furniture etc and many whimsical things available too. You will need some time to look around this shop properly but you won't be disappointed
All the clothes are from there and the skin I am wearing with the blue kimono
The Black Geisha hair is 0L from Freestyle, the green geisha hair is part of a phatpack at Bewitched, 100L updo section. Unfortunately the skin in the top picture is no longer available
The skin in the middle picture is free from the fabulous Wretched Dollies new store, follow the freebies sign, Make sure you have a look inside to see this very talented ladies beautiful work. She is a long standing favourite of mine :) Hair in that one is from Savoire Hair (Kyra is posting about this amazing place)

It's official.. I need a "Buy All" button...

Imagine my delight when I sat down at my desk today to eat a quick lunch of crustless quiche and got an IM from Abs saying : Kyra ..girl ..i found some awesome free hair.. needless to say I took the first teleport over to Savoir Hair the second life Hair Journal to check it out myself..... I was overjoyed when I arrived to find a wide selection of hairs from some of my favorite designers all either free or just 1L (the vast majority are free.. I know I got them all except the mens~thus my need for a buy all button LOL)... Lots of them even came in a wide assortment of colors. What a great way to change up your look for not a lot of money. Before heading home to show off some of my new hair to my hubby I sat on the sofa there and took a snapshot of one of the ones I picked up during my time there ... So if you love hair even half as much as I do you have GOT to check this place out.. its nearly a too good to be true spot on the grid!

Elv'en Majika

Well, as promised here is a post exclusively about this lovely little shop. It has everything for your elven needs, and much of it is suitable for mere mortals too. Everything I have on is from there, yes even the skins and eyes. It's all modifiable for the perfect fit or colour change :)There is nothing in this shop over 5L that I can find, and these are her usual prices!

Multiple Personality Designs

Everything at MPD is 1L..yes everything! Oh, except for the phatpacks which are all 3L!! They have something to suit everyone here, from sporty to flirty to gothic to medieval. Definitely worth a few minutes of your time :)
The hair in both pix are from ...yes you guessed it ..Stringers :P lol. Top one is an old offer of the week, on sale at full price and the other is the offer at the moment, 10L phatpack, although I have not checked today and it may have changed

I admit it, I'm a sucker for eyes...

Especially when it comes to truly beautiful ones :).. Miriel delivered just that, beautiful eyes that give the illusion of depth and life to them.. They are well worth the usual 50L per eye price I've seen elsewhere in SL.. she's also got a set of approx 20 eyes half "realistic", half "standard" up on the wall for free!! The pack is listed as "demo's and freebies" they are simply gorgeous.. pictured are both the Standard Watermelon (close up eye pic) and the Realistic Aquamarine, both found in the free pack. The other colors that come in that pack are.. Earth, Fire, Light Blue, Mossy ROck, Pewter (which is mystierious and beautiful), & Quiet Green.. Miriel also offers shapes, jewlery, & hair so if you've got a moment pop on by and pick up some new eyes , all the better to look in on everything else she has to offer!

Compact and Bijou

New to me shop, Bijou has some lovely freebies for us. Both of these dresses come in 5 color options. The black one has a cape/jacket, and two different options for decoration ..feathers and a pretty bow. Had to find a beautiful place to take these pictures and remembered an old haunt of mine, Moulin Rouge. What a lovely, authentic place this is, the decor is so detailed and relaxing, totally seduces you into yet another drink :)

WhoNose More

After Kyra made her post, I went again to see what's new. Can't get enough of this fantastic shop ..Rarurick has consistently brought us beautiful dresses and whimsical backpacks. She fully deserves her place in the best of SL designers. Nothing in her shops (3 of them now ..yayy Rarurick!!) is over 80L, at these prices you can get whatever you like. Follow your nose to WhoNose :) Don't forget to touch the MM board :) Loving the picnic dress too ;)
