I'm enjoying my Sunday tremendously by imitating a sloth. I went to the zoo yesterday and saw a few sloths, and I thought to myself, "Wow. That's a good gig." Needless to say, there are some great freebies out there and I'll try to post them in between sloth fests on the couch with artesian beers (I'm obsessed with microbrews, much to the chagrin of my abs) and the boyfriend yelling at the TV during various sporting events.
I was thinking "Hollywood Sunday Brunch Sloth" and came up with this. The dress is a freebie from Dawn Shop that I snagged during that Asri Falcone teddy bear hunt for RFL that I blogged about earlier. It appears to be still going on and while I have no idea of the end date, it would be a shame if you missed it, as there are really nice outfits and skins to be had. The glasses are a freebie from [Mokoptica] that I just lurve. Head to the back of the store for those. The skin is called {Frick} Tan - Flourish (Purple Shadow) and is available from Fricka Morgath's store (which is chock full of fabulous Eloh mods - I'll show more soon because they're so creative and fun!). I love the fact that the skin comes with a versatile purpley-pink nail polish. It saves me from wrestling with poses and prim nails, which is usually a very, very bad scene. The hair is a group gift from Comme il Faut that a few Free*Style foxes blogged earlier and the shoes are Armidi Gisaci Rio Beleza Wedges (not free).
Then I imitated a schizo sloth and tried out the Neko thing. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm completely crap at doing the Neko, Vamp, Elf, and/or other various character thing on SL. I'm actually writing a series of articles about "finding my inner neko," but she just isn't there, so I suspect I'll publish it in about 75 years. I asked one person I know (who declined vociferously to have this quote attributed to him) about how to be a Neko, and he said, "Oh, just put on as much sh!t as possible. Bam! You're Neko."
Anyway, the hair is a =TEKUTEKU= freeebie Creamy blogged previously that seemed to fit the bill. The neko appendages are also Creamy finds from [OZ] Hiding Place that aren't free but *really* decently priced for the neko parts market. The skin is another freebie {Frick} find. The camo tank is by F.A.T. Designz and is free at the German fashion expo at Vanity Universe. The aquamarine Decollage eyes are free at the Gnubie store. The boots are the freebie "Legwarmer Boots" by Katat0nik that are free at Axis Mundi. The bracelet is a dollarbie from GaZoV DeSiGnS -- the designer, Greta Gazov, is putting out two new dollarbies in her shop each day until Friday! These were yesterday's and are no longer available, but you can pick up some killer neko-inspired freebies today that are kyoot-ness approved. The boombox bag is from I-Candy and was a gift sent out through the Fashion Consolidated group.
The kitteh is called "Sweet Leo Kitty" and is a group gift from SWEET LEOnard that is still available. The "crazy mouse" perched on my shoulder is really fun! He crawls around all over ya and is available for free from B2B Design.
Non-freebies but fabulous finds include the jeans and hospital bracelets from EBT Threads and Tattoos. (There's a 1/2 off skin sale that is *definitely* worth checking out with pretty makeups and beaten-up looks for only $300 Ls.) The lip piercings are from FlipSide. The panda leg bag is from *KANA-NA*. The "Ripped Leash" choker is from Good Life.
And yep, that was as much sh!t as I could put on, so hopefully that makes me a semi-genuine neko, lol. BAM!
