Albero grand opening challenge - Sakura goodie shrine hunt

Until March 31st ALBERO2 (Cilix (55, 88, 29) is celebrating it's grand opening. They are doing this by having a hunt around the mall area. First collect all the passwords. You'll find these in black boxes with white numbers; touch to receive a note card with the password on it. Then you teleport to the stores that have the 'main store' sign out front. Once at the store you should find a black box with a white number on it (corresponding with the password box). If you've collected that "#" secret password then copy and paste the password from the notecard into general/open chat and press enter. Viola you get a prize. There are more than 15 prizes and a couple for the guys like the hair I'm sporting in the first photo. Collect them all and good luck. (More about the hunt on Sachi's blog here.)

The prizes are shown with Rosemar skin (the slurl isn't exact since these have moved to her freebie section), other freebies that were found at the main stores offering prizes, and First Egg [JPL OSAKA (188, 31, 23)] (black - mules) shoes. Also featured are necklace/tags found in the Sakura Shrine hunt done on the JPL sims & others you can look around for a giant temple while picking up the shoes at First Egg. Just follow the Sakura (cherry) trees around until you find the temples and touch the prize ball machine to receive a necklace.




You can camp for cherry trees if you sit on the PINK ball in the little sitting areas on the JPL sims. You can see the seating area in the background of this photo. ONLY the PINK ball is a camper spot - 20 minutes earns you one sakura tree in one of 3 sizes (sm, med, large).



If you touch the necklace/tags that you win from the prize machines you'll enjoy a shower of particles.



Although one temple is on the ground, most look like the following:



A bit more about the shrines.

Another day Another thief

Via one of my groups I was alerted to another store selling stolen content from at least the following designers: ETD, Maitreya, Last Call, Naughty Designs, Cake, FNKY, Armidi, Deviant Kitty, Agrace, and Dutch Touch. Pretty low. Take a look for yourself: A & F Designs (Airfare (211, 99, 22) The landmark isn't exact as they bounced my arse and banned me lol.



You can see the original Last Call design next to the thief's version in the photo.

Let Me Throw a Cabbage At Your Head

Ah, yes the impending holiday where drunk people throw cabbages at other drunk people is fast approaching. Somehow I've never quite gotten into this holiday. Maybe it was all those bruises from being pinched for going sans green or the freaking hurling of vegetables that made it not appealing or maybe it's the green beer. Anywho despite all my reservations I did dapper myself up in a green gown just for you guys. =-)~

Hair at Kiss is $200/6 color pack, $1900/fat pack, and demos are $1. There is also a small selection of hair for female child avatars. I'm wearing the Coined style in most of the photos (the exception is the insert where I'm trying to show the jewelry) and when I picked it out I was thinking big 80's hair, but I have to say that the style is exceptionally more Angie Dickinson sex kitten.

The offer of the week at SKGShoes is a $5 pair of sculptie heels in jade. In addition there are 6 $1 shoes here: 3-white & 3-blue. (Aloha Business Park 167,203,22)

The skin is available at Char's SHOP (uemachi 37,110,29). You'll find not only the skin I'm wearing but a toal of 5 skins, 3 shapes, and a mani/pedi set ($0) among a number of well priced animated objects. You might want to explore this sim because there are tons of goodies on this sim not only for female avs, but also male avs.

When I took a look around Uemachi and happened into Yoona Mayo's Jewelry shop (Uemachi 14, 136, 29) I couldn't leave it out of this post. Yoona offered four $0 pieces - 2 earrings, 1-necklace, & 1- female hair. All of her jewerly is really reasonably priced with sets at $50 and earrings as low as $15. She also has hair for $40, but in a very limited color selection.

And really the gang at slfreestyles is doing such a great job on showing St. Patty's day goodness that I think I can slack off a bit. hee hee So check out their blog here.

Oh and all the pictures were taken at this place (not sure of the name - Uemachi 116,242,29).

Relax at The Refuge and The Prospect

Wow, this weekend was really crazy between the gossip girl goodness (written about in previous post), skin fair (Vanity Universe sim), and Rue D' Antibes Sim opening. I took tons of photos, but being a bit of a scatterbrain and distracted by wheat I only have a couple to show that aren't yet expired.

So first up, Icing (Mischief 114,191,24) has another freebie dress up for grabs. I modeled it hear with the skin from Tuli's booth at the skin fair. Unfortunately I didn't write down the slurl for the booth and can't seem to teleport back in. If you happen to make it into the skin fair please pass by this booth. (ETA: sorry info for the wrong post was here. This is Tuli's skin!)The hair is turning out to be my favorite hair and it's one I picked up from the Amorepacific sims (read more here).



The next two are from Silent Sparrow(Rue D'Antibes (190, 57, 28).



You'll find both of these looks in a blue pumpkin sitting outside the Silent Sparrow's store (landmark info above). The skin I used for both looks is from the La Sylphide (Rue D'Antibes (161, 21, 28) store in celebrations of the sim opening here. The boots I'm wearing in the lower picture unfortunately were only available for this weekend, but there is a box with 3 pairs of very nice boots (Free boots by Noals Nakamura) at the Calleta's Hobo Railroad Infohub (Calleta 80,166,24) . The hair is the unisex hair from Boon (Yurakucho 74, 80, 35). The pants are just simple self created and tinted black underwear. hee hee



And a great Male friendly look:



All the photos were taken at the Am Radio's amazing exhibt "The Refuge and The Prospect" (Callistei (128, 127, 23)that will end March 6th. So HURRY and see this amazing sim wide exhibt! If your so inclined make a donation to. =) And I almost forgot one great little detail. The eye's I'm wearing in all the photos are by Shapes by Zada (Talisman (81, 134, 24)made especially for the Far and Away instillation also by Am Radio, but work nicely at The Refuge and The Prospect also.

Brains... Freebies... No, Brains

I think Ivey of Sn@tch brought up some very valid points on her blog concerning freebies. Mainly "A Freebie is not an entitlement". I've noticed lately a lot of people feel like they are owed things for nothing. I'm sorry to break it to you kids (and old folks), but no one owes you anything. And when you do receive something for nothing you should NOT complain about it. You should say thank you if you take it and leave it at that. If you miss the freebie put out and you don't have money at the time, but really want to try something out from that particular designer then politely ask staff or owner if they happen to be standing there about their freebie policy. Most owners are exceptionally nice and are more than willing to share information if they have something planned. Please don't IM or hound anyone. But, whatever you do dammit treat people as you would want to be treated.


(Clothes & Hat by Sn@tch, Skin & Hair by Crimson & Clover, Boots by ElecTRo Kitty -no freebs)

Originally I started writing this blog after a friend took me to a sex den (Merry Christmas) and I saw a bunch of default avatars getting it on (omgz - the awful faces). I was so horrified by the ordeal and that people would do all of this in default avatars that I thought I'd write about where to find stuff to help people un-newb their avatars. I mean obviously they didn't know that not only could you have sex for free in sl, but you also can not look like a monkey lady in brick hair for free. So here I am still writing about freebies.....

I've sort of changed things a bit. When I first started writing I'd write about places (like Sarah Nerd's, Freebie Jeebies, Free Dove, and Gnubie Store) and try to cover a plan of attack to quickly and as painlessly as possible update your look. I've sort of moved on from that and now take pictures of outfits and attempt to tell one how to achieve the look. My favorite thing to write about is treasure hunts (by the way there is a hunt going on at Lua's Garden for plants Today ONLY) and/or make list of freebies on about freebies available on a sim or at holiday times.

I generally do not write about group freebies. I figure there are other blogs that do that (so why I would need to do it to is beyond me). I'm sort of on the fence about the whole group gift. I feel like the designer will put out the word via their blog or tell group members (Callie Cline has told everyone to pass on the word about her freebies she will be offering to the group all next week in honor of friendship week) it's okay to let people know about specials. I have my favorites groups and sometimes I have to bump them because I don't have enough slots. It sucks to 'miss out', but I'll live and so will anyone else. [I'm not knocking anyone for blogging about group freebies - this is just the reasoning behind why I don't blog about them. Please stop sending me angry IM-s and messages about this subject because it doesn't make me want to blog about them. It just makes me mute you.]

I've made a lot of friends meeting people on help island and finding out what they like and helping them set up their avatars for free or almost free. I think freebies are a good thing for the 'community'. I know a lot of people who really would not be able to afford to buy things and probably would leave after a while out of boredom and not being able to 'fit in'. I know even though it is not often expressed -- We appreciate designers who offer freebies. They afford anyone the opportunity to acclimate into Second Life. As a consequence providing us all a great service by helping enrich the community not only with their works but also with the people who enjoy them.

Thank you.

Saturday at the Gossip Girl Sim

Hey Dolls,

If you haven't heard there's some big festivities planned this weekend on the Gossip Girls sim. I decided to feature my favorite designer's $1 deal offerings here, but there will be many other vendors offering up goodies for you all there. So on to Nef's lovely creations from the Ivalde's booth (GossipGirl3 35,159,27) on the GossipGirls3 sim:



The Marianne dress is available for this special event for only $1. I showed it here with Another Shop skin mod that is no longer available- oops. You can get the original Another Shop skins in a variety of skin tones at Another Shop (Lippert (74, 176, 179) for free. ($0) I was lucky enough to be given the hair that is available on the lucky chair at BP* Shop (Osaka 147,138,21) after waiting a mere 6 hours to see an A. I wish you much better luck.($0) The shoes are from Tesla's which again if you're lucky you may be able to win on her Lucky Chair (read about it here). ($0)

Much more following........

The Addie in Teal is also a special $1 bargain:



I picked up the unisex hair at Boon (Yurakucho 74, 80, 35) available in a fat pack ($0). I lowered the hair a bit on my head, so the style worn as is looks a little different. There's also a skin here for $1.

Although there were two additional $1 dresses I was only able to purchase one of them at the time of my visit. Here's the dress:



The Siri Denim dress will be a great addition to any spring wardrobe and what a bargain at $1. Besides providing all the dresses for $1 in her Ivalde's booth Nef also passed on ALL the information about this weekend's festivities going on at the Gossip Girl's sim. I'll share it below....
