Calico's annual hair hunt and free skin from Frick!

I'm so happy to be making this post! Yesterday I got to spend time doing the annual Calico Creations Pumpkin Hunt. I did not find all 50ish pumpkins, but I did find at least 20. I'm showing three of the things I found here, the two hairs and this adorable huggy candy corn from ~silentsparrow~. Go to the sim and find the not-even-hidden pumpkins, and have an enormous new hair wardrobe. Some of the hairs are mesh, some are flexi, all are fabulous.

I'm also wearing shoes from Schadenfreude, group gift shoes that come in two great colors. They smile at me, these shoes, with an eeevil grin. The shoes suit Slink feet, which is good, because...

Frick made a freebie green witch skin with Slink appliers! I love you, Fricka Morgath! More free/dollarbie things from her shop include my eyes, from a store hunt, and my Halloween-colored Slink applier nails. I LOVE THIS SEASON.  SLURLs below.

Ridin' High

The new group gift skin from PXL Creations is to die for; a Valentine's Day version of Kate with kissable lips and the brightest pink shadow and brows.  So much fun!  There is a $L250 join fee for the group but totally worth it - a steal just for this skin and the gifts are frequent and darn tootin' good!

Also totally loving the hoochie cutie outfit from Sassy! for the Jack or Jill Hunt.  I usually don't dress like this in SL - as I am a bit reserved - but I had so much fun dressing this up.  The 70%  hair sale at Elikatira continues until later this month and its such a bargain that even some of my poor unloved alts got updated hair!  I finished off the look with some non-freebies that did the trick: Boots and Bolo from HANDverk and awesome ring from Remarkable Oblivion.

Credits:
Hair: [e]: Claim - includes hat and hatless versions - big sale!
Skin: PXL: Kate VDay 2013 Group Gift - join fee (worth it)
Outfit: Sassy!: Cali Cutie (Mesh): Jack or Jill Hunt
Shoes: HANDverk: Western Ankle Boot: Ostrich/Pink - not free but sooo cute
Bolo: HANDverk: Rio Grande Bolo Tie - not free
Remarkable Oblivion: Bitch Ring: pretty good deal at 99 L for gold and silver and two hand versions
Prop: Adorkable Poses: Phoney Pony: sadly it's been retired :(

Rainbows and Unicorns

Hi guys!  I bought this unicorn the other day at Genre and really wanted to take pictures with it but I had no clue what to wear.  When Alice Project released this hunt gift hair with all sorts of potential rainbow magic and then my store partner released this group gift rainbow dress I knew I had found a match for my 'corn!

Short post today since I have lots of household stuff to do, info. below!
Worn:
Hair: Alice Project, The Sinister Goth Sinner's Hunt gift, must join the Sinister Goth group to receive this item
Dress: Adore&Abhor, VIP group gift (50L join fee, also comes with "naughty" nipple-baring version.)
Unicorn: La Petite Morte @ Genre, 100L, comes with multiple poses built in
Skin: Essences @ The Dressing Room, not available there anymore but there is a new skin out

25 for 25

Hi there!  HANDverk is one of my favorite stores ever and for every Saturday in December they are having a fun event for inworld group members.  The group is free to join and for 25 minutes they will price a number of items down to 25 Lindens.  I'm going to give you a sneak peek of this Saturday's items, which includes an amazing mesh replica of the Wassily chair, a Bauhaus masterpiece.  Also included are 2 accessory sets, a scale clutch and serpent ring in yellow and separately, the super sexy Eve pumps, also with a yellow serpent. The shoes include both the red and green apple version so you can mix and match.  All the items will be transferable and make awesome gifts.  This is a serious good deal, y'all.  25 minutes prior to the event the inworld group will be notified. The group is free to join...so check your offlines often if you are not inworld!

Quickly, I've not been online much because of RL stuff but on of my besties, Hempy Weezles, told me about this awesome mesh miniskirt that is a group gift at Happy Undead.  It is turquoise latex and it is HOT.  It comes in about a billion sizes and includes several alpha layers so it should fit nicely over many different booties.  I do advise wearing undies as the alpha layer does not hid your bits...or if you enjoy flashing...there you go.  I also thought the mesh shelf made for Royal Living's Great Outdoors hunt was pretty sweet at only 45 dollars so I wanted to show that too!  Take care!

Details:
Chair: HANDverk: Wassily Chair - red: 25 Lindens for 25 minutes on Saturday: join the group to be alerted
Shoes: HANDverk: Eve Pumps - yellow: 25 for 25 on Saturday
Clutch: HANDverk: Scale Clutch in yellow - a yellow serpent ring is also included: 25 for 25 on Saturday
Shirt: Ingenue: Agathe: Newer release: not  free
Skirt: Happy Undead: Vinyl Mini Skirt: Group gift - group is free to join
Hair: Wasabi Pills: Joy Hair: New release: not free
Shelves: Abiss Design: 45 Lindens for Royal Living's Great Outdoors hunt

Presents!

Good day! Sorry I've not been posting a lot here but I sure haven't been slacking. In addition to my own blog and other projects, I've been doing a lot of background work for Free*Style, including finding the right place for our new store!  That has been accomplished; and we are starting over from scratch so finding great items will be my next task.  In addition to free items we are including newer items that will be 25 L or less.  I will do an update post on the specifics very soon.  There are great bargains to find all over the grid and I wanted to share of few of my favorites.

Second Life is celebrating it's 9th Birthday and though Linden Labs did not officially sponsor the event this year (hmmmm) a group of lovely people took on the task.  KittyCats has a darling area that includes gifts and a competition for the best KittyCats display.  Do check them out and vote for your favorite.  The gifts are scattered around the area.  Right at the landing point KittyCats is offering a completely free limited edition kitty for SLB.  It comes with a free week of food and other cute decorations.   A.D.D. Andel has a free SLB version of it's kitty bed and it comes in 3 sizes.  Funky*Junk offers a totally adorable cat tree complete with ladder, floating butterflies and a swing.  It's just precious.

Somehow I stumbled upon a cute hunt being sponsored by Rockberry and Twilythula.  The hunt is free and at both stores.  Rockberry has a bunch of skins in the hunt and a huge set of lovely eyes.  Twilythula has lots of goodies, from skins to clothing.  I find that exclusive store hunts can be very charming.  Jane is having a great clearance on all her mesh clothes that predate Standard Sizing and I snagged several fatpacks.  Free demos are available.  I have adjusted my shape for an XS in Standard Sizing and I had no problem getting the two smaller sizes to fit....it all depended on the item.

Today Has Been OK

Lovely new mesh top in the Midnight Mania in the Mesh Room at Baby Monkey (go upstairs).  It's already half way there today so get on over!  10 L boots right by the steps.  Some delicious jewelry at Sigma Jewels: Fist Pump Hunt and the Gacha Hunt (fun!).   We don't often discuss poses but I am using poses from one of the group gifts for Exposeur Gold.  There is a pretty steep fee to join (500 L) but right now there are 4 group gifts at Pose Fair and more at the store.  Pose packs now include both poses for men and women, which I think is ossum.

Halloween Comes to Starlust!

I almost hate to post on top of Sileny's post today because she looks so darn cute but I think you will really like the things I am going to show you!  My love for Starlust and the folks that inhabit it is no secret.  They were generous to host our 4.44.444 event at no cost and I think that the people that set up there are super talented, straight up real folk and work hard to create original designs.  I wanna be a polygamous partnerer and marry them all to be honest but probably not even Appy from Pig would take me up on it.

Here is the deal there: Through Halloween start at the motel lobby and pick up a folder that will tell you who has treats at their shops.  (Not every store is involved - Eden bawls her face off)  The folder will contain a note that has an up to date list of treated stores as well as a cute map to help you find your way about.  Those stores will have a pumpkin near or right in the entrance with a bright orange pumpkin that has a message along the lines of "I have a treat for you".  Touch it and get the goods - it's that easy!  Allegory has decorated the sims with lots of pumpkins (she makes some of the best around) and they are for sale (go to Schadenfreude for a huge selection), so don't confuse them with the treat pumpkins.

Also, Schadenfreude has her annual trick or treat pumpkin at her store.  Go inside the elephant and look for the free one.  Allegory makes these goodies for many of the holidays and I look forward to them every year.  They are wearable and give out treats to anyone who touches them.

I've not shown you every gift because I have to go do a ton of RL things but its a lovely event.  Before I forget all about it, Nefaria Abel, another awesome creator has decided to close her L'Abel brand, another sad for me!  Everything has been significantly discounted.  I picked up some bloomers from this year's summer collection that I had been coveting for only 10 L.  Another do not miss!

Hey, It's the Little Things in Life

Today has turned out to be an interesting day.  I was having a full blown panic attack the likes of which I've not had for years; the kind where I think I am having a heart attack and will die at any moment. Since I wasn't dead on the floor I decided to clean and worked through the worse part.  When I logged on SL a friend IM'ed me right away (which I hate!) and invited me to chat with some other people.  My usual response is to politely decline, but I didn't, and I got exactly what I needed.  Then Marleen Vaughn, who I remember from way back in the day from her store, Marly's, which I adored for her funky retro styles, contacted me about her new store, Vaughn's.  She is having a little hunt at her store for 3 items, the pipe, the scissor's necklace and the lovely grey top.  She is sweet and I am so glad to see her back in action.

Cupcakes has been having a hunt all month at their sim with fantastic prizes: Skins, clothes, eyes.  Several of the sim stores also have hunt items and all are free.  They are easy to find and it's a lovely sim to visit. I don't know why but I particularly loved the cold grey eyes that came in a large set.  Nice size, which I'm very fussy about.  Another little thing that I found on a recent journey is this Maori-style chin tat as a subscriber gift at Miss Shippe's studio.

It is refreshing to find that SL does include lots of cool people, some who are friends that care, some who do their own thing and make interesting items.  No drama, no heartache.  Just people at their comps, probably in their jammies drinking coffee or whiskey.  Good times.

Deal Me In

There is an insanely easy hunt over at LeeZu for group members.  The group is free to join and the hunt took me at the most an enjoyable hour to find 12 playing cards.  The details on how to do the hunt are in group notices but essentially you collect the cards from different areas of the store and then turn them in to redeem one of 4 fantastic prizes.  You can chose from the Miriam or Virage dress, Robin Jeans or like I did, the Margo jacket shown above.  I've been drooling over this jacket since it was released and it is impeccable.  LeeZu took the time to add really special details such as the shadowing effect on the chest straps which makes it especially realistic.  I am beyond impressed by this piece.  At the end of the hunt one lucky winner will also receive a Grand Prize of 5000 Ls and 2 items from the NOIR collection.

I was also wowed by the latest group gift from LeLutka.  The Hadley skin comes in 5 tones with a wonderfully subtle makeup.  I really like the minimalist effect of this makeup and am getting ready to throw some lala's their way after this lovely sample.

Thank you to both LeeZu and LeLutka for these amazing, high quality gifts.
