Friday's finds

Hair is a dollarbie from *DarkerSide*. Called "happy" there are five shades in the box and the headband is colour change. There is a wall of 10L fatpacks in store too - go check it out.

The skin is the current MM prize from Freakshow, called "suicide skin angelic_light".

The outfit is in the riotvend at Sn@tch. You get the denim skirt in blue and black, and the scroll top in five colours on the shirt & jacket layers. The riotvend drops right down to 50L.

This "leather and sheer" gown is the current freebie from Paris Metro. Hair & skin as above.

Earrings & poses from today's 50L Friday.

Giulietta - Venetian Courtesan

Here we are modelling the current MM prize from SR Leathewerkx - it's still there today so go slap it if you want it.   Called Giulietta, it's based on the dress of an 18th century Venetian courtesan.  It has lovely detail and includes the shoes & stockings.

For the guys!

Yes, a post for our often neglected guys!  Belleza have just released a new group gift, which is another version of their fab Thomas skin.  They have released three different free versions of this lately - all slightly different.  The first was part of the Le.Look avatar we blogged previously, the second was the Christmas group gift which also included the female Alyson skin [see earlier post], and now the bearded version has been released.  The gift includes five different skin tones - this one is "sun kissed".  The group costs 250L to join, but is well worth it for the quality and frequency of gifts given out; Belleza skins are really well made, and their male line is no different.  The detail and shading on the body is great as you can see in the next picture (and I refute any allegations of gratuitous near nudity - lol)

The eyes are called "Aurora" and are the latest freebie out at Poetic Colors.  The hair is "Reed" and is free from UncleWeb Studio.  The white denim shirt in the first picture is a new dollarbie out at Mimi's Choice for Men and is available only for a limited time.

U&R Dogs

Happy New Year all - hope you had a wonderful festive season, and are easing yourselves gently back into normal life!  If you picked up all the parts of the Le.Look avatar before Christmas you would have discovered U&R Dogs as they contributed the lovely female earrings.  They have opened a new store and put this lovely pair out for 1L.

The skin is the current group gift from Belleza - 250L to join, but the quality of gifts is amazing.  You get two female tones and two male tones included - the gift is currently still in notices so get it soon before it poofs.

Hunting for Sharkie

Tomorrow (1st December) a hunt will be starting at Sharkie's store.  It runs until December 26th, and you are hunting for 20 glowing globes (hint, it's easier at midnight!).  These are all items that won't be sold in store, so total exclusives.  One of the prizes is this gorgeous gold feather & lace dress called "pride".  It comes with the gloves and two skirt options.

 

Another thing to look for is this lovely skin - called "giselle fair - honey".  It has gold eyeshadow & nail polish, perfect for the Christmas season. 

Hair: [Tiny Bird]; Shoes: Stiletto Moody; Eyes: Poetic Color; Rings: Callie Cline, JCNY; Pose: Glitterati, LAP.

Shakin' That Ass

After Abs' post waxing lyrical over Shelly LeMay's new store on Lemania's sim, I thought I'd swing by her mainstore. She has these ripped jeans with tattoos reduced down to 50L each at the moment. My favourite is the cat with the "purr" tattoo pair (far right). They are on the front desk, so go grab them [they are only at the reduced price in the mainstore]. While you are there you can hit the 3 MM boards, and pick up this "Jazzy Blues" gown for free - includes hair & bangle. Check out the store too - she has some fabulous designs both casual & formal.

Skin: League; Poses: Glitterati & Long Awkward Pose

50L Friday

Yes it’s Friday again and the 14th 50L Friday is here. Below are some of the things available.  More stores than this are participating – just click the sign at one of the shops for the full list.  Be aware that two of the stores taking part (Milk Motion & Kookie) are both on the Cupcake sim – it was horribly laggy when I was there [excess of 50L hunters], so be prepared to wade through treacle to get your pretty bargains….

Hair: Clawtooth “Mrs Mittons” in girl next door shade, with detachable kitten pack with both for 50L.  He’s very cute – blinks his eyes and even meows if you click him.  Cardigan: (Milk Motion) my short cardigan 50L. Pose: Long Awkward Pose “baby got back too” pose 50L for 5-pose pack.

Kunstammer sumptuous daybed 50L – comes with 2 inbuilt poses and 4 additional poseballs. Dress: Ty Zvezda “koale” dress in fuschia 50L.  This only comes on the shirt layer and with a prim bottom (no glitch pants).  I had to alter my shape so my hips didn’t show through.  Beautiful colour & texture though.  Boots:  *Kookie* pomski boots in coffee candy 50L.  These are lovely & snug for autumn.

Hair: Magika “star” in wild pink 50L for pack of 5 colours. Dress: Sugarcube Patchwork dress 50L

Vignette & In Her Shoes

Rachel Boram - the creator of the best hallowe'en boots - has set everything in her two shops to L$0. Must be samhain madness but is fantastic news for us bargain hunters. She has two shops - Vignette which is hair and In Her Shoes which is footwear. Lots of different styles of both in multiple colours, all free! Here are just a couple of items I snagged earlier. In the picture above I am wearing purple Betty dots shoes & Izzy hair in Majestic black.

in this one I am wearing warm winter boots in red and Jaime hair in cherry.
Other items: GP Petal skin and tragic eyes, both from Curio; trousers - gutter glitter jeans in bruise (top) and lust (bottom) and ribbed tanks all from Silent Sparrow; earrings - pumpkin from Earthstones - free gift in store (these are really lovely - go grab them!)
Poses: Long Awkward Pose

Atomic

Just a quickie as this has been blogged to death, but Atomic are having a small hunt around their stores. There are 12 jack o'lanterns to find and they are easy to spot. You can get 3 fat packs of skins, 2 of hair, 2 of batwing tattoos (unisex), 3 of Ts (unisex) and 2 of tanks (also unisex). Word of warning - it's popular so gets busy. To reduce lag remove as many prims & huds as you can - it will make moving easier & take less time for your graphics card to have to draw you. Reducing your draw distance will also help. It only took me about 20 mins to find all the pumpkins, so worth the effort....
I'm wearing: skin_bailey porcelain, Boo! tank and hair_caroline onyx (all hunt prizes). Also gutter glitter pants in pumpkin from Silent Sparrow - exclusive item in the "deader than you" tour. Pose from Long Awkward Pose

DCNY & Blowpop

Dave Casanova @ DCNY has just released two hallowe'en dollarbies - this cute outfit I'm wearing (I love the pumpkin shaped skirt!) and the skin I'm wearing with it.
There are a number of other dollarbies available too - Geck is wearing this sweet green dress that we found there. She's also sporting the latest group gift skin from Blowpop. This is a new creator to me and the skin is really well done with some lovely shading. The group gift (find it in notices) includes 4 different skin tones, each with two makeups.
Other stuff: Sorcha (left) hair - "sloane" from Tousled (not free), eyes - "tragic" from Curio (previous group gift). Pose - Long Awkward Pose
