So summer is in full swing for me. That means humidity and frequent thunder storms. But back home, on the other coast, summer means sun, beaches, and kicking back to relax and take care of things you forgot over the last few months. So I brushed the dust off my inventory and took a look at what freebies have been sitting there unused and untouched.
First off is a bit of beach wear from Neko Gear. This stuff is at least a good month old, gathering dust in my inventory as I’ve got way too much swim wear. Some of this stuff was covered by Adaire and Gecko over at free*style about a month ago. I’m wearing the beach towel freebie over my shoulder (you can lay it down too), along with a beach shirt, board shorts, and flip flops. I tend to avoid wearing logo branded freebies just because I don’t like being a walking advertisement, but the ones here aren’t that bad or overly flashy. They all kinda just fit together. Out of the box, the flips are a tad small but all of this stuff is modifiable and thus can be resized to fit rather easily. (more…)

Last Sunday, rather early in the morning, I saw a notice for new freebies from Alphamale. The first thought that crossed my mind was, “Finally, took Yelmer long enough … the girls had some freebie lingerie months ago!” I had been waiting a while for this and I was quite excited. Normally, when I get notices from large groups about an item, I tend to wait an hour because fighting for a spot on a full sim isn’t worth it — you can just wait a bit and there will be no one around landing on your head, etc. But after waiting about 30 seconds, I thought “Screw the others, I want that freebie” and teleported in. Luckily for me, not a lot of people are on Sunday mornings and the sim wasn’t too too crowded.
After chatting it up with Yelmer a bit (for the record, Yelmer and Mariska are very nice people — if you see them at the store y’all should say hello) I head home and tried on the new clothes. The wait was definitely worth it. (more…)

Those of you who have been reading along for a while already know of and may remember my fetish for things I can wear on my back. Now, I have a good reason for this. It makes sense if you think about it, I promise. In SL, we spend a fair amount of time looking at our own backs–far more than we do in RL, let’s be honest. It’s nice to have something to admire other than the plain back of a shirt or jacket. Some have suggested (ahem) that I’m easily distracted; I say I’m just trying to avoid boredom and add some spice to life.
That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

Before we start, you must first know that my friend Zazen always has the coolest toys imaginable. This is important information for you to know. So, the other day I was hanging out on my mile-high work platform (okay, it’s about 600 meters or so) when I heard a thump. This was quickly followed by a muttered “Oh dear.” A quick camera check showed that, as you may already have suspected, Zazen was indeed hovering just beneath the platform, where he had unwittingly bonked his head trying to fly up and see if that dot at altitude on the minimap might be me. It’s always nice to have the opportunity to catch up with Zazen–any excuse will do, really–and as I mentioned there’s the cool toy factor. This time my notice was irresistibly drawn to his boots, which were impressively constructed and animated with some really spiff effects. I had to know, so I asked. A landmark was immediately forthcoming. I went, I saw, I shopped. And here we are. (more…)

Remember me? For the few of you who do.. no I didn’t die. I’ve just been very busy with RL and then “relaxed” a bit with a week of summer vacation. My vacation isn’t quite over yet, but I felt that I had to cover some freebies that might disappear soon. My laptop’s onboard graphics aren’t good enough SL so I snuck onto a friend’s machine to install SL to snap a few pics for this post. Thus, this post is brought to you by my friend with no desktop password 
Anyway, a long time ago I said that I couldn’t buy fancy clothes cuz I’m poor. Well, now a good number of those rich stores have freebies all in one spot: KMADD Enterprise. KMADD had a lot of gifts out from their opening, which disappeared a lil while back, before I could cover them (I hadn’t started blogging when they disappeared). Its not all bad though, because they replaced them with different gifts from a handful of the KMADD stores, including Tonic, Tango NY, Endeavor, Indigo, Redgrave, Mechanism, Mhaijik Things, SF Design, and of course MADesigns.

I love jewelry and other design work inspired by Celtic artwork. In RL I wear an inexpensive silver ring, simply designed to resemble interlocking knotwork, that I bought from a street vendor in Dublin about four years ago. One of the highlights of that trip to Ireland was a visit to Trinity College, where I was able to view two folios from the Book of Kells, the artwork of which still informs Celtic designs today. Muna Arai’s new line of rings for men honors that tradition by making inspired use of knotwork and other design elements in balance and harmony with the beauty of precious metals. (more…)

The last few days, I’ve been hoping on and off (more on than off) that the “unseasonably warm” temperatures in my RL home city (Los Angeles) will return quickly to milder and more usual weather. Please, God, let the meteorologists be meaningfully right, just for once. I know it will be 110 Fahrenheit degrees plus in September, but right now it is quite frankly too damn early in the season for this nonsense. (more…)

And now for something completely sophisticated.
If you’re anything like me, your inventory is littered with freebie cocktails. I think the freebies in my cocktail collection can charitably be described as being of varying quality. For the most part these have been good enough (and some are actually quite nice). Even so, I have at times found myself wishing for greater variety, a little more elegance. To the rescue comes Maximilian Milosz with his new collection of 25 classic cocktails. Whether you’re in the mood for something refined, like a Manhattan or a Martini, or something more casual–Sex on the Beach, anyone?–you’ll find that Max has a suitable libation ready for your refreshment. And, unlike many of the items featured on this blog, they are without exception unisex and look just great on the ladies. (more…)

Especially now that I’m no longer in the competition, I figured why not discuss the “freebie” version of my entry to the Muism Contest. The majority of the items will of course come from Muism, but a bunch of others come from other spots.
To figure out what to wear, I decided to go through all the Muism freebies I’d collected over time. My first Muism product I ever tried on was their Xmas gift from last year, a red suit. I don’t get to wear that suit often enough. Next, I put on their racing jacket (which is still available, btw — it was recently added to the archives again). See, I told you it’d be handy in a costume .Anyway, I noticed a bit of a common trend — Muism seems to like red in freebies. Perhaps I’m (actually I know I am) taking a bad sample space, but I decided to try on a few other red things. (more…)

If you’re in the market for clever prim accessories to complete an outfit (or push it over the top), you could do far worse than to check out the creations of Jonny Petrova at his shop, Endless Nameless Designs. His overall style seems to be kind of generalized urban gritty punk, but there are some truly beautiful and classy items in the mix too. For no particular reason–okay, actually I worked everything around the belt–I’ve chosen to focus on a few of his pieces that fit into a “music” theme.
Jonny’s beautifully detailed Fret Belt (L$75 L$175), shown at right, comes in four sizes or configurations: male, female, giant and tiny. It’s moddable, so you can resize and fit according to your own preferences, but it’s nice to have a choice of starting points–I don’t know about you, but this simplifies my life. The main loop of the belt is detailed to resemble a guitar’s fretboard, complete with frets and strings, with the buckle assembly standing in for the guitar’s headstock. This is a gorgeous design, perfect for the rock star in your life, and at 222 prims (I think I’ve got that right) it joins the pantheon of ultra-high-prim belts in my inventory. (more…)

So, when I made that horribly long post a week or two back I said I’d hoped I hadn’t forgotten anything. I did. But don’t worry, forgetting made this post a lot better. I probably wasted just about all my luck on lucky chairs, but I managed to grab three E’s from two chairs in a span of 24 hours while I was at two stores.
So what I forgot was the Camo Tank from F.A.T. Designz that I picked up a few weeks ago. I only remembered the tank when I received a reminder that F.A.T. Designz was celebrating its first birthday with a weekend-long party. The part I find coolest is that the designer, Alfred Kabuki, has pushed his designs back into real life as well. Which means you can tell the real world what you do to the dj’s wife just like in SL. On top of having relatively reasonable prices (most products from my glance last weekend in the 80 to 110L range) the store also has a lucky chair and camper chairs for extra free stuff. Both switch between various products. I happened to see an “E” on the chair and received the RAW I pants when I checked to see if the tank was still out. (more…)

Literally as well as figuratively right next door to Artilleri, designer Floatie Hock’s Hell Bop Bar and Clothing Garage in Saimaa sells retro clothes at great prices.
My favourite has to be this olive-coloured shirt. Perfect for bowling, but without any wordy or cheesecake logos, just this screaming tiki figurine (click the photo to enlarge), the 1950s olive colour and broad black stripe up the middle. Superb. It’s called Bob Olive Shirt and it comes on shirt- and jacket-layers for only L$75. (more…)

“They say the city of Kalico was once an industrial hub, where most people in the country congregated, worked, and lived. I, personally, find that extremely damn hard to believe anyone came to this city because they wanted to. They came because they had to. They came because everything was here. Everywhere else had nothing! Nothing at all! It’s like someone decided to slap every technological, social, and business aspect of living into one giant concrete hell. We don’t know much about what life was like before ‘it’ happened, but we definitely know what ‘it’ is. Everyone does. It’s the stuff of stories that parents would tell their little kittens so that they would sleep at night. But ‘it’ definitely happened, and ‘it’ destroyed everything.” – So begins the roleplay info notecard for Kenny Sleeper’s new-and-in-progress “Kalico City.” I was familiar with some of Kenny’s emo/neko/punk designs from his shop Kalico Kreations, and Aidan featured some of his designs in a previous post, but his new venture sounded intriguing (although I find I don’t have enough time to devote the amount that serious RP calls for). When he mentioned that he had also been creating some new designs so players can trick themselves out in style, it was clear that a visit to Kalico City was called for. Who knew what grungy, post-apocalyptic wonders would await? (more…)

Men’s liberation time! The extremely talented aoimizuno Meili of LPP (le petit prince) created these wonderful Art Deco / Valve-Tech attachments with women in mind. In fact, they’re just a small part of a collection called ‘Digital Doll.’ But most of the items in the series aren’t really gender-specific and they are gorgeous.
There are several pieces to talk about in the first photo (as usual, be sure to click on it to enlarge). Let’s start with the Art Deco Headset (180L$). I don’t want to know how many prims are in there; I probably can’t count that high. The detail is amazing, but it’s the overall feel of smooth clean parallel precision that will win you over. The headphones attach to your ear, so your nose is free for your glasses. The glasses I’m wearing look like part of the set, but in fact they’re my trusty old primOptic Arctics, with the colour scripting utilized to match the LPP stuff (set frame colour 1 to ’sienna’ and frame colour 2 to ‘dark grey’ if you’re following along at home).

After a tip from Immortal Wingtips, I took a trip over to Filigreemotion.. In short there are now less than 4 hours left in the hunt and it has both hair AND shoes for guys. And its only 15 eggs — should really only take an hour at longest.
In the picture we’ve got:
- Lip Piercing Steve — egg #2
- Co-Sneakers male (Plaid Red) — egg #4
- Torture Me! Set for men — egg #6
- Chris hair (brown) — egg #13
- Bluegray eyes — egg #15
Other items include the Spaghetti Collar for me in egg #9 (shown in both of the next two hair pictures), Low Shoes “Sirius” (Choco) in egg #10, Aaron Hair (Black&White pack) in egg #11, and Billie (Favorites color pack) in egg #14.

Two questions for you: (1) Do you love sword & sorcery role-playing in Second Life? (2) Do you collect memorabilia from the Lord of the Rings films?
OK, yeah, me neither.
So why am I standing here in front of a map of ‘Middle Earth’ wearing clothes with names that are spelled a little like Welsh railway stations? If you have to ask, you clearly haven’t clicked the photos to enlarge them. These are beautiful beautiful clothes, detailed and rich and luxurious. I’m telling you, the role-players are better dressed than you. (more…)

The wearing of green has been associated with the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day since the 19th century, and the tradition is followed today not just on the Emerald Isle but around the world. Vincente Shepherd’s Victorian steampunk stamp is clear on his new “Shamrock Collection,” just released at Gaslights Emporium. In its entirety, the collection is a complete ensemble, including clothing and accessories, so if you have no fear of a suit that is very green indeed, you may be able to outfit yourself from head to toe in one quick stop in Port Babbage.
The St. Patrick’s Day Green Shamrock Suit includes wool jacket with flexi tails, wool trousers, simple white formal shirt, shamrock-pattern waistcoat, and prim bow tie. The suit’s green is the bright, fresh color of raucous meadows in spring–no quiet forest glen or moss-covered stones here. Although stylistically similar to some of Vincente’s other, more restrained attire for Victorian gentlemen, this suit is set apart by its vibrant color and the elaborate, almost baroque pattern of the cloth used for the waistcoat, both front and back.

Serendipity makes me happy.
There I was, minding my own business the other night, and I can’t remember if I was bored or not but I was certainly open to adventure, or at least a diversion. So when I more or less idly asked Posy what she was doing, and she responded “Trying on some new glasses I bought, and there’s a beautiful pocket watch too!” I immediately said, “TP me? Please?” In short order I arrived at the small but handsomely appointed shop of Pavig Lok. Although Posy hadn’t gone into specifics, she knew that Pavig’s gorgeously detailed steampunk creations would be right up my forbidding Victorian alley. She’s a temptress that way. And she was right–Pavig’s vendors showcased some very intriguing glasses and a truly elegant pocket watch. I thought to myself, “I’ll have the lot!”
Little did I know that I would receive so much more than I expected, based on the unassuming advertising placards I saw in the shop. (more…)

The weather where I live in RL has been what might be called “unseasonably warm”–I think it was supposed to be 85F today, and it’s still winter, at least technically, for another couple of weeks. Just so you’ll know, when I’m dressing more realistically for SL (as opposed to indulging my steampunk fetish or trying out other fantasy wear), I tend to lean toward things that would be appropriate for the current RL season and weather where I am. Given the recent uptick in temperatures, I was happy to see the new Clash Shorts by serjordan Bonetto of Emery. These are crisply textured and very casual, with plenty of folds and wrinkles–why iron if you’re just going hiking? Rolled cuffs add some dimension, and the prim side pockets have interesting tab-and-buckle detailing. You can get them in four subtle colors: Blue, Brown, Green, and Grey. Permissions are Modify / No Copy / Transfer. L$100 a pair at Emery (Quest III 155, 31, 22). (more…)

I take a break for a week and an entire store moves on me. The GNUbie Store decided to up and move from Indigo to Powder Mill. It got a makeover and an upgrade in the process though, so its all good 
. Unfortunately, some of the older stuff from the original store is no longer available.I’m guessing that the designers are no longer active and couldn’t move their things. Luckily, all of my old favorites from Rebel Hope, Bryce Tully, and Torrid Midnight are still there though. The best part is that there are new items and new designers — more fun freebies for everyone!
Both Adam ‘n Eve and Fleur are offering skins in their stalls at 1L apiece, with some of them free if you are under 30 days old. I’m wearing the Fleur Vivant Bronze Newbie skin. A word of warning (though you can’t see it here) is that most of these skins come with a clothing under layer as part of the skin. If I weren’t wearing the long sleeves undershirt, the undershirt from the skin would peek out under the sleeves of the the tee. Another GNUbie veteran, Fallingwater Cellardoor, has decided to add her awesome freebie painter shoes (which were already available at Shiny Things) to the GNUbie collection as well. (more…)

Just so you’ll know, I do occasionally learn from my own experiences. Although I’m embarking here on an overall designer review (rather than a specific new release), I will endeavor not to make again the tactical error I made when I reviewed Gaia Goodnight’s Darkstar Designs earlier this month, namely the ill-advised decision to include umpteen different outfits and items in a single post. And don’t get it wrong–the temptation to do so again with Kavar Cleanslate’s designs at Exile was very, very strong. However, I’m confident that you are a gentle and patient people, and you’re willing to accept delayed rather than instant gratification. If not, you can just TP over to the shop and check things out for yourself.
Kavar mentioned to me that he’s really into themed outfits and costumes right now, and I want to cover a couple of his new releases for you here. Imagine the possibilities for themed nights at your favorite club! Hmm, sometimes there are cash prizes…I’m just sayin’. (more…)

Sometimes guys just want to have fun. I know, I know, in the song Cyndi’s talking about girls, but fortunately Jeanni Nishi knows the real truth: it’s guys, too. (You know the song, of course. If not–first, shame on you, and second, you’ll never win on Jeopardy if the Daily Double is in Eighties Pop.) Jeanni is just starting to roll out designs at her new shop Sweeet!!, but she already has some fun stuff for the guys, and the girls haven’t been forgotten either.
Here I’m wearing the Seersucker Shirt (L$100) in Brown, but you’ll find it in a variety of other colors as well. I’m layering with the Tartan Vest (L$100) in Red, because as you know I’ve got something of an affinity for the family of warmer tones, but you have plenty of other color choices. Hey, it’s a guilty pleasure, but I’ve decided not to give it up for Lent. (more…)

So summer is in full swing for me. That means humidity and frequent thunder storms. But back home, on the other coast, summer means sun, beaches, and kicking back to relax and take care of things you forgot over the last few months. So I brushed the dust off my inventory and took a look at what freebies have been sitting there unused and untouched.
