As many of you already know, there is currently celebrations going on in Second Life, as it is 18 years old.

To go along the normal Exhibit and Celebration sims, there is also a Shop & Hop going on. With 18 Shopping Sims, there is around 300+ designers, all with booths that have all their items reduced, as well as a gift.

I might not be able to cover all the sims, but I am going to give it a try!  This was very popular last year, and while Free*Style has been rather dormant, and my focus has been on Second Life Syndicate, I figured this was the best place for something like this.

Today we will be covering the offerings at the Aurelian Sim.

 _____________________________________________________________________________

 

I am going to continue to use good old uber ebil alter ego Helli as our gift model throughout the rest of the gift guides. She did such a good job, and I sort of forgot how cute her avatar was.

As a base, Helli is wearing Hair from Sn@tch,  Head from LeLutka, Body from Maitreya, Skin from WoW Skins, Eyebrows from Finer Threads, Eyes from the last SL18B Post and a modded shape.

The Wash Cart Sale - The Stringer Mausoleum

The Wash Cart Sale is going to be over in less than 24 hours.

July 15th to August 5th

TP To The Wash

Each designer has 10 items priced at L$50 and under and one Event Exclusive, which is L$50.

---------------------------------

Last day for The Wash Cart Sale!

This is my booth at the sale.

Exclusive - Unisex Hair - L$50
4 other hairs - L$35
Hair Texture Huds - L$40
Eyes - L$15

Plus a few free gifts! There is in fact free hair, due to prim limits and event rules, it is in the demo box, along with the free eyes.

I normally wouldn't blog my own stuff, but there isn't anyone else to do it yet, so . . . .

A Different Direction

 Hi all! Long time no see! While I was gone the blog, as you can see, basically died. I had to leave SL for a while due to health reasons and when I came back I was sad to see what happened.  I am not sure if anyone will revive the blog.  I have my own blogs and I contribute to others so if no one is reading this one or participating I am not sure if it should continue.
  For now, however, I am still very much enjoy finding good deals! I still keep up with the Free*Style Flickr group, which is opted out of the limits so don't worry about being in too many groups to add photos! I am considering reopening the Free*Style Pinterest but haven't decided yet. If there is interest then I might. Shop Free*Style still exists so feel free to send you poor n00b friends there to check it out.
  So, as you can see, the freebie hunting lives on in a different way. I hope you can feel free to send me messages any time you need any SL help (or, heck, just want someone to tell you you're pretty and cool) and I will be there for my readers! Ciao!

Glamour: 1920's Style

There has been a resurgence lately of vintage styles and I am enjoying it. One of my favorite periods is the 1920s so I was inspired to put together this inexpensive look and explore The 1920s Berlin Project. My dress is just one of the freebies (menswear as well!) available at the sim entrance with lots information to help get you started if you want to role play.

A Bloody Good Time

  Hi all!  If you haven't done the Nightmare event hunt do it now!  It's pretty easy and there are a ton of prizes.  Basically just go to the sim and enter the portal, grab a hud and flashlight, and go around finding the keys and teeth.  Once you get 25 teeth you can go back to the start and click on the prizes vendors at various stations to get gifts.  Fun!  Here are just a few of the items I got below.  Enjoy!

WORN:
Nightmare Hunt Items Available HERE:
Eyes: Nani
Blood Tears: Nox
Nosebleed: The Horror
Spiked Collar: Schadenfreude
Other Items:
Skin: Adore&Abhor, 50L

Survive the Madness

 

ˈmadnəs/ - noun - a state of frenzied or chaotic activity

"from about midnight to three in the morning it's absolute madness in here"

 

That definition will be the best way to describe my Second Life in less than 8 hours.

Another round of Monthly Midnight Madness will kick off at midnight SLT and each one gets better and better from the generosity of the designers, quality of gifts, participation of the populace to the ease of navigating the chaos. For those of you that are unfamiliar with this event or new to it entirely I have put together some helpful tips for making your experience fun and enjoyable.

 

Is it warm in here...

Or is it just me?

I managed to squeeze into the Mesh Body Addicts Fair early access just before bedtime last night.

My intention was to grab the demos I wanted and go back later after things die down. I was pleasantly surprised to find a few gifts!

Frozen Treats

  Just wanted to pop in to say howdy and share some quick treats.  It's far too hot to sit at the computer right now (I need to go sit in front of the air conditioner, flopped down like a seal on the ice) so  I shall make this quick.  Have a good day!

I am Literally Foxy

  I saw this avatar somewhere (a hunt blog maybe or Flickr?  I forgot.) and had to log into SL immediately and grab it.  It is so cute I just had to blog it.  If pink isn't your color you can grab a different one from the gacha but it is 150L a pop, which is kind of steep for a gacha, but I think it is worth it.  Plus you can use this adorable free one like a demo!  I love it.  Go get it!

  Also I tried to make a gif from the raw shit.  It didn't turn out that well because I didn't use a screen capture program and tried to do it the old fashioned way but whatever here it is anyway, haha.

Find this avatar at Breeder's choice as a hunt gift HERE.

My First Video!

  Hi all!  I put together a look with almost all freebies/cheapies and was going to just put it up here like a normal post.  Well, last night my daughter was bugging me to find a way to make a video of her drawing pictures of foxes (she's obsessed with foxes, lol.)  I asked Plurk and they gave me some ideas and I finally found one.  When I went to edit this photo I decided, hey, why not record it?  So here is the picture and below is me editing it.  I didn't do a ton of editing and the video is long and kind of pointless but I am excited to learn to make videos so I had to share. :)  Enjoy!

WORN:
Skin: 7 Deadly Skins, Marketplace hunt gift
Hair: Exxess, 1L
Earrings and Piercing: Mons, group calendar gifts
Eyes: InkHeart, 1L limited time
Eyeliner: Adore&Abhor

The website I used to record the video is HERE.  I know nothing about this website so I very much hope it's not like some creepy virus thing or something. -.-
The main program I used for editing the picture is Gimp, which is HERE, and the second program you see me using is Photoscape, which is HERE.
