Jonas, Brother.

Yes, sorry - getting my abs out on the feed again. It's for a good cause; I promise.

If you aren't in the Belleza update group - especially if you are a guy - then you are missing out on the best 250l investment you can possibly make. With every new release in the past few months they have sent a sample skin out to all their members. This is Jonas.





He arrived in the group notices today, hot on the heels of Mathieu and Miguel from the past six weeks. The skin came in two versions, this one with hair and a bald one. And the gift package included this impressive shape.





I could rave on about the musculature and detail all day, but you can see for yourself just how well put together he is. And for those attached to your normal shape? I've shot a pic in mine own less impressive physique so you can see that it suits everyone.





As I stated the Belleza group costs 250l to join. And it is SO worth it. Search for it inworld, it's listed as -Belleza- but apparently it's somewhat tricky to find. So that's what I did, I opened up Tricky Boucher's profile and stole it from there. I'm also wearing the free male underwear from Sartori.

Totally T'rrific Terry!

It's been a wee bit quiet on the western front where my friend Terry Toland has been concerned. I've hardly seen her at all, and was wondering why. She's been a busy bee!! Knowing that alot of players come to SL to role play (and I don't mean slex, I mean proper RP ya filthy lot!), Terry already has some amazing avatar packs set out for free at her sims. You can get a merfolk kit, Dark Elf and Fae. These are all complete, with hair, skins, shapes, eyes, clothes and AO. All of these Terry has made with attention to detail, and the skins she modded herself from the Eloh bases.



New to the packs already available, let me introduce Sullivan and Carolyn. They come with everything you need to get started playing a peasant, there are 2 size shapes, dwarf and taller, eyes, skin, hair, clothes, shoes and AO. I forgot to change shapes for Carolyn (bad Ash) but look how cute Sullivan is, all cuddly and such! You can find these at Dynamic Recluse in Sordoh.



My Candace from Sweeter Than Candy sent this out to the group the other day (yes I've claimed her too cos she totes rocks!) the shoes come with it, as well as a pair of thigh high boots I haven't shown.



Remember how I tortured you with amazing but not free boots from EvA a few posts back? Well the incredibly generous Van has put these babies out for your strutting pleasure. You'll find them next to the ankle boots display. Thanks Van and Evangeline, you're making our SL ridiculously smexy! Oooh I nearly forgot! The tattoo! It's from Otaku Designs. My letter came up half way through me doing an item camp, camp soon abandoned as this tatt has ice creams and cupcakes on it....it had to be mine XD! Now I shall go back to the joyless task of trying to find all my PS brushes and re download them, as along with the buttsecks from the grid, my computer died and I spent the weekend reformatting the HD.....again. A very emo Ash, out.

Why o why o why o why.....

Lemon Sorbet contacted me today (thanks Lemon) about the new free outfit at ALB Dream Fashion.

Now why did I not know about this store before? I've just looked at all my fellow freebie bloggers blogs (links at the side of this blog) and a few have already blogged the wonderful free outfits in this store. The first one I am showing you today is the new one, so hopefully it is good news for you. I absolutely love it!

The wonderfully named Shakespeare's Midsummernights Dream outfit, comes with everything you see here, includes the legwarmers, tights and headpiece



I enlisted the help of Peroxide, Ashia and Amethyst for these pics, thankyaaas girlies!



Peroxide Bleac tongue attack...ooh sounds nasty!



This Pocahantas style Coyote outfit is also free in store and comes with the shoes, hair, two skins, jewellery et al.....amazing!!! Can be worn in loads of different ways too.



Also free on the table in the store is this wonderful skirt (which comes with hat and bag), worn here with the top, shoes, skin and jewellery from the previous outfit and the gorgeous free hair from Teka Li





No...we aren't done yet, these are the shoes you will find for free in the store, the black ones are not in the same place as the free outfits above, you will find these in the shoes store out on the courtyard. The beautifully detailed sandals are free with the Coyote outfit.



Have to show you the complete pirate 'Gorgeous' avatar which Ashia and Amethyst are wearing above. It's free and I love it, it's so camp and so much fun. You will find it here inside the building at Gorgeous House, (all the photo's here were also taken on this sim). Peroxide wore this avatar and was chatted up by a lovely Japanese lady...he is that Gorgeous!!

Huntorama: Stringer Mausoleum & Shrine

Helena Stringer is having brilliant hunt with items for both men and women at the Stringer Mausoleum & The Stringer Shrine "Links Lost Rupees Hunt" on May 30th-June 8th.

Those of you who love dressing your avatar in a fantasy style will especially love this hunt - really creative fun stuff to be found here. Helena kindly dropped me a preview of some of the goodies you can find. It took me ages to put these looks together, I had so much fun but I'm sure you could be more creative than me.

Double anti brow piercing: Nomine (20L - loooads of facial piercings there for only 20L each!!)

When I tried these head adornments from the Stringer hunt, I felt marine-like and instantly had the urge to be a mermaid, so off I went on a mermaid adventure and I discovered a beautiful underwater haven at Bonny Cove (found the lovely free mermaid items there too which I also wearing)


Rock Critter Hat and Peach-Sparkle Dust Blue skin: Stringer Mausolem Hunt
Female Mermaid outfit: Malaika Mermaids (0L and includes shape (not worn), tail, fins and great AO)

Helena has kindly uploaded some pics to Flickr of a few other items you can find on her hunt, click these pics for a close up and more info.


The hairstyles and skins worn in the above two photo's can be found in the hunt, (not the outfits), click on the pic for more info on the free outfits worn.

More Info copied from Helena's notecard

"Link was passing through my forest, and it seems his pouch of rupees had a hole. Now it is your task to collect them all up!

This will take place at the main HQ spot, on the whole lot, both levels, in Lyashko, at the Stringer mens store and grounds at Mapinguari, and also at my sister's store and grounds at the same site, just walk out of the mens store and you'll see hers!

In the folder with this notecard is a sample of the colours and sizes of the rupees (NOTECARD WILL BE PASSED TO THE FREE*STYLE AND STRINGER GROUP). Wear it to see the sizes that you are looking for. The largest is the green, next blue,red, then lastly gold. The type of rupee determines the type of gift. Here is a rundown:

Greens: 3 mens-skin&hair, 7 unisex-hair&eyes 10 womens-skin&hair
Blues:, 2 unisex-odd items, 4 womens-complete avitar&skin
Reds: 8 unisex-pets/hair/horns3 womens-eyelashes/hair/hat
Golds: L$100 gifttcard, L$250gifttcard, L$400gifttcard

Now the gold rupees are brought out at random, one each day of the hunt. Sometimes it may be more, like the first day, and after that whenever I want to put out extra. Join my group"Stringer's followers-info group" to know how many on which day, and how much it is.

The gold rupees will only be hidden in my actual stores, just so it's a bit easier to find, rather then it being the WHOLE grounds. So just the Shrine, Mausoleum and the Mens stores.

Hunt Locations:
The Stringer HQ's
The Stringer Men's store
C&D Designs

If you want to bring a friend and help each other find stuff thats great, but for the sake of the rest who might want to enjoy, please don't yell out where the rupees are. Also if someone is desperate to find something, don't answer by shouting, just im them, if you know where it is.

I am willing to give out hint, to my group if you are in it. Just open the group chat, and I'll give you a hint. You have to ask nice though.

Hint: You can find one of the lost rupees somewhere near the cherry tree, at C&D designs. It is a Special Edition hair, not to be resold!

Happy Hunting
Helena Stringer"

Greenie Mayhem

I did the hunt that Ashia blogged about earlier for the free Greenie Avatar. I dragged along Gecko Gorilla (Secret Agent Name: "The G") and he had a good time too. I must say, it's easy and really well thought out with the clues. We carried out Greenie shenanigans with our new Greenie avis in the Greenies Home sim. Below, I'm rocking the Greenie Skater Avatar Set, and he's got on the Punk Male Set. It wasn't apparent to me if I was a guy or a girl from the options in the folder, but G assures me I was ah..."packing heat." Alas...thank goodness for boyfriends that constantly zoom in on yer crotch? And yah, that is a fro pic and yah, that is a rubix cube. Woot! The poses we are both using are from Imperial Elegance. I'm using one of the three Extra Gun Slinger Poses that are available for $10 L. He is using the dollarbie Goofy Fight Pose (seriously, it's called that, lol).


I enlisted another hunter to take some pics with me to show off the Greenie Female Gnome set, who begged to keep her identity a secret. Something about the notoriety associated with Free*Style? o.O
This is definitely worth doing. The average Greenie avi set is $950 big Ls, so grab it while you can!

Dawn Designs

Susie Voom left a comment today asking where DawnShop went to, and this reminded me about a post I had planned..

The store 'formerly known as DawnShop' has moved and is now called Dawn Designs, it's located at Rookery Cove. When you land here, you will see a sign with a sexy latex pink outfit. Click the sign next to it to join the group and click this outfit sign wearing your group tag and...hot dammm....this is what you will look like. This outfit includes the white boots and a scarf too (not worn cos it didn't work with ma hair)



Now go up the stairs to the Dawn Designs store, there are more free items there. This gorgeous outfit (includes shoes and skin).



Also, Dawn has updated her free male Avatar, check this handsome chap out. The skin is a very nice Another Shop mod and it also includes complete outfit/shoes, shape, hair (not worn) and AO. The free female avatar is great too, I have previously featured this on the blog a loong time ago HERE.


Everything worn here is part of the free male avatar apart from the hair which is from Uncleweb.

So if you know any new male and female SL players, take them to Dawn Designs for her fantastic starter avatars.

Greenies!

You guys have been to Greenies right? It's one of my all time favorite places to visit in Phil's place. This is gonna be super quick because I'm supposed to be at work 0.o Bad Ash! Anyhoo I had this card dropped on me today which I shall pass on to you.

Ladies, Gentleman and other virtual beings,

Greenies' tailors have been very busy with making high quality outfits for the Greenies Population. The Greenies made their wishes very clear, they want clothing that makes them blend in with existing polulations on the grid, or suits everyday grid activities. And the tailors did their utter best to accomodate to those wishes. To celebrate the arrival of the new Greenies, we shall party at Greenies Wednesday 21th of May, starting 2PM SLT.

Until then, those Greenies avatars have hidden in what they feel is their 'natural environment', a sim where they feel at home. The 4 Greenies that went to such sims, took magical greenie tickets with them. Collect all 4 by clicking them and bring them back to the Greenies Home Shop to rezz them there and to receive your free Greenies avatar.

Prosper and live Green,
The Greenies

1. Collect all 4 tickets by visiting each participating store in turn and touching the dispenser.

(a) 􀀕
The Dump
HINT: 'Miaauw. In the dark tunnels do I reside.'

(b) 􀀔
Project Neptune
HINT: 'Sometimes you just need to follow the widest path and go with the flow. Mermaids like anemones.'

(c) 􀀓
Crimson Shadow
HINT: ''When things get complicated, it's always straight ahead,' says God as well as the Devil.'

(d) 􀀒
Kings
HINT: 'Little paper boats will always get you where you need to be. Don't fear sinking. Lovers never drown. They always walk towards the light!'

2. Visit the Greenies Home Rezzable sim and find the shop there.
Greenies Home

3. Rez your tickets in the shop. You should get a message saying that that ticket has been marked. (You won't need to mark that ticket again.)

4. Once you've marked all four tickets, you will receive a free Greenie avatar! It's as simple as that.

Styling the Hag with Elissa Nightly

It's time to show you some more great photo's from a Free*Style Flickr group member. Elissa Nightly has been so inventive here with her look, she's made a stylish hag, (it's not all about model looks you know)...I love it when people have fun with their Av's. The colours in Elissa's photo's are wonderful, really vivid and sharp.

It's always good to have an Iron Man to carry your shopping. This guy is free from Silverscreen

Unique Needs & Ravenwear Skin

Would you like to know where I take my snaps? I visit a store called Unique Needs . Anne Otoole, the store owner, has been kind enough to create a Photosphere Garden for free use. This is where I take most of the pictures for my blog (even though I have my own sphere, I love the poses and backgrounds in here).

Today I sent Anne an IM to thank her for the use of the Photosphere's and we started chatting, she has these beautiful diamond earrings for free in her store, along with free male and female complete avatars.



Anne also gave me a sneak preview of this beautiful Empress gown and cape. I know this is mainly a freebie blog but I had to bend the rules a little to show you this, it's very special and needs to be seen.



This beautiful dress costs 350L and also includes cape, crown and jewellery and undershirt. Comes in many different colours too, the one shown here is Andromeda.

The design detail is exquisite and the way it moves when you walk is amazing. Look at this awesome photo I took in the gardens.



Remember to get your earrings free at Unique Needs , right in front of the lucky chair and the free complete male and female avatar set.

The hair worn was made by Valryn, she kindly gave this free to the Free*Style group.
The skin worn in these pics is the free gift from Ravenwear, available for a limited time only to celebrate the opening of their new store. I think it's stunning!



Remember to harvest at the Xmas tree at Ravenwear too, they are giving away some fab goodies!

Dawnshop Male and Female Starter Avatars

A Free*Style blog reader said I should check out this store called Dawnshop, lots of free gifts and great male and female free starter Avatars. I'm always a but suspicious of newbie avatars, but I tried them on and you know what? pleasantly surprised!!

The skins, hair and shape are really pretty good as you can see from the following pictures. The female one is super-sexy, I don't usually go for this look for Creamy, I prefer kind of sweet and innocent - but I think a lot of people will like this.



The female av comes complete with modifiable shape, tintable hair, skin, lashes, clothes, shoes and an AO (animation overrider - sexy walk, poses etc). All the items can be worn seperately, so you can wear the hair skin etc on your own shape if you wish. This is the skin and lashes worn on my own homemade shape.



I have included the link to Dawnshop below, these avatars can be found in the signs above the lucky chairs. There are also some other freebies boxed on the table in the store.

Great job Dawn!!
