Last, but certainly not least I hit A Piece of Candy (Immintel (160, 180, 100) for the Little Italy blue diamond hunt. I spotted all the diamonds easily and I'm sure you can too. They're sculpty so just make sure to walk around and give them time to rez. There were 4 outfits included in the hunt and one skin. I also picked up one of the $1 tops (not pictured) from the dollarbie post, where you'll find additional Another Shop skin mods. Candy is really good to her patrons and usually offers (as she has this week) a new release at a special introductory price. This week she has a couple of outfits for $10 each.

While you were sleeping....

I'm slowly working through some of my notes on places to check out. One place(s) is the MILK USAGI MALL in Samoa *Japane (Samoa (225, 136, 57). In each mall there is a freebie section. You'll find the freebie section in this mall along the back wall of the first floor and another upstairs along the front wall of the store. There are also a couple of freebies within vendor booths. Just take a look around. You'll also find camping chairs at this location; at other locations you'll find lucky chairs. The malls are small and if you decide to check them all out (the black spinning box near the entry will dispense a note card with landmarks to other locations) take a look in the areas surrounding each small mall. Japanese vendors often offer freebies. (Dress, boots/ $0 / f)



I'm wearing a new skin from Frick ( Blackmount 98/138/64) who makes Another Skin modifications that are fantasy inspired. All the skins here are reasonably priced at $30 and under. (IZ skin/ $1/2 pack / f)

I'm wearing one of the hairs that you too can find on the Earth Day hunt that ends Sunday on Lemon Island home of Bewitched Hair. ($0/12 hairs bought from trees / m&f)

Costumes!

I was hopping around a couple of places trying to help a new guy find some armor and rp stuff and spotted some new to me freebies.



First stop was the Free Fandom Project (Lippert 160, 111, 171). Although we didn't spot the armor that I had previously blogged about here. We did find an awesome Sweeny avatar. I'm not wearing the shape included with the avatar, but it is a guy's av ^.^. ($0, m/f)




Next we headed off to a couple of the Ultimate Hero (Simpkins 137/242/55) stores and found an outfit for GIRLS!!! I'm not sure who exactly Jill is, but I love her outfit! I'm wearing skin from Spirit (Plush Tau 41, 14, 28), catch the info on either of the two previous posts and hair from Free Speerit(Quest III 155, 150, 22 - rush to get this one). (Ultimate Hero costumes $0 m/f, Spirit skin $1/2 pack f, Free Speerit hair $0 f)



Ok, so two strikes the last and final stop (for this post ;) ) did yield him an excellent set of armor and there was also a complete female warrior with skin, hair, and animation overide available (pictured above). The quality on these two offerings from Boxed Heroes (Plush Epsilon 58/57/22) is amazing! ($0 m/f)

WB Lappy!

Yay! My lappy is back from the dr's with a brand new keyboard and hopefully it will not shut off every time I enter the little pixelated universe I call part time home. Hope you didn't miss us too much. =^.^=

Well, in case you missed it on the entry a couple below this one Amorepacific4's hair spot (this is the Mise En Sine location on the hud found at approximately: Amorepacific4 81, 137, 66) is back up and running. Stop by to camp for some darling hairs for both the guys and gals. (Don't forget there are a couple of hair styles for the ladies in the Hera ballroom along with dresses, shoes, masks, & fans. You can also find free furniture, han-bock dresses, shoes, and knick-knacks in the Amore Museum. And don't forget there are a couple of spots to camp for female skins also. Explore, explore, explore!) (Camp times vary from 20 minutes or less.)

I received a lovely preview of $1 skins from SavannahAnn of Spirit (Plush Tau 41, 14, 28). If you teleport to the Pro Cheer Skin's room you'll find that one pack of each Veteran skin tone (commercial accessible from Spirit's blog) is available priced at only $1/pack normally $1000. So if you haven't gone by to check out this new hybrid photo sourced - hand painted line NOW is your chance! Look for the Giants Light Glossy and Matte pack in whatever skin tone you prefer. ($1/2 pack of skin) These skins were used in all the photos.

When I logged in I found myself at the ever expanding SakuraTown (mall area I - SakuraTown 46, 46, 32) which has added a new SakuraTown II mall area ( SakuraTown 71, 197, 24). The mall area II recently celebrated it's grand opening and many of the freebies may be taken down so rush over to check it all out. If you haven't visited this area please stop by and check it out. It's jammed with freebies and you can enjoy the spring festivities. If you get confused the red roofed areas are part of the original mall and blue roofed stores are part of the mall II expansion. There's even a couple of things for the guys to. ($0)



Much more behind cut...

Another Sakura festival and shopping area hot spot is located in the Access Island region. I've written about this area (access 162, 150, 22 -cross the bridge if you'd like to look at the area previously blogged) before, but since then it has expanded doubling in size. If you haven't experienced a lot of Japanese shopping this would be an excellent introduction to tons of designers. There's a lot here, but only about 10 items offered up from any one designer. There's numerous stalls ranging from clothing, hair, skin, tinies, and even a couple of neko items. And yes, the guys will be happy if you bring them along because there are a couple freebies here for him also! ($0-$1)



If you haven't popped on over to the Wing Fling (Platinum 128,10,21) you might just want to because besides having a ton of wings in one place to browse there are also two great deals ($1 & 0). You can find a great map of the booth layout on Second Style Cast. You'll want to check out Seven's Selections and Battle Fairy's booths.



The capris modeled with the wings are from a gem of a store La petite fleur (aquapolis (186, 176, 41) which has put out the cutest little khaki dress. One word of warning here *Try before you buy, all the prim skirts are no modify!*($0)



Additional items: Hair pictured with the La petite fleur outfit is from Free Speerit, (Quest III 155, 150, 22). These hairs will only be available for a very short time ($0-rush). The shoes are an old stand by from Ada Store (Fontaine (39, 104, 50). ($0)

Beware of the Cops

There's a grid wide hunt going on right now- sorry don't know the details. I've been busy being a hobbit cleric. So if you're not buried in freebies or just can't get enough head down to the start point (Red Stick International Animatio, Granymyr (227, 53, 34) and touch the kiosk for the lovely list of participants in this grid wide hunt.

A hunting we shall go...

In the midst of all the chaos that has happened this weekend in our little pixelated universe a couple of store/mall areas have opened. Here's a mix up of everything I've missed, and maybe you have to:

Fancy fairy (Wildewood (164, 160, 608) has put out a skin & wings. ($0)



I've worn the above with a free fairy outfit and hair from BAIASTICE & ARTRANSFER (centro italia (10, 24, 23). You'll also find a monthly gift at the store.

The following and all remaining looks are modeled with hair from Candy House (TokyoMainLand (117, 54, 22). You'll find 3 styles near a cafe table in front of the store ($0-$1). Skins are from A Piece of Candy (Immintel (164, 183, 101), which puts out an Another Shop skin modification for $1 almost every week.

These outfits are all from the Haute Style (Haute Couture (151, 139, 21) gift box hunt that will end tomorrow (8 April 08). Prizes range in price from $0-1 and many stores have additional freebies offered or hidden specials (scroll over the items in Callie Cline's store ;) ).



You can see one outfit is a suit for the guys and another from Rfrye is unisex. So guys rush over and check it out.

more....

The Starlust Motel (Cubana (136, 181, 22) a cute bate's style motel (minus mother) has opened this weekend. Many of the stores have freebies or $1 deals. There's a box in SD Wears priced at $1 that has a couple of items that are guy friendly.



The shoes in the photos are from Zhao which is a participant in the Haute Style gift box hunt.

Lastly, I have to thank Kryptonia Paperdoll for telling me about a really cool pair of sculpty boots at Crimson Shadow (Crimson Shadow Rezzable (184, 126, 37) that are completely free.



The outfit is a mix of pieces from the Bossa Nova (Amour 180/62/27) freebie box - rush to get it because Bossa Nova will soon be closing for a face lift.

****On a side note one of my photos has been chosen for the monthly Bewitched Hair model contest. =) Check out the photos and vote for your favorite.

Ello Dahli

I found a couple of Indian themed freebies to share. While the skin is a deal at $50, it doesn't get my whole hearted approval. The eyelash area has a weird halo around the eyelash area - you will only see this if you zoom in close to look at your face. I have the lighter of the two tones offered at GiGi Couture (Broadmead (53, 190, 34). But, if you can live with the halo then you like me can wear it for novelties sake. However, if you can't deal with a bit of halo - skip this skin.



The hair was a freebie from the Amorepacific Islands (AMOREPACIFIC 4 78/168/66), however the hair section is being remodeled and will reopen on the 18th. The jewelry and outfit are from a cute little store filled with entirely free clothes (for guys & girls), furniture, pets, and jewelry - Yak & Yeti (Salzburg 172/79/27). The jewelry set that I'm wearing is the Bollywood set and it is beautiful. Not pictured, but also free at Taste of India (Odessa Charming 198/79/21)is a set of bindis (5-$0).

101: Random Hopping

Woot, post #101 that's a lot of darn blogging! So tonight I was pretty bored after finishing my shift up at the Velvet (My friend Zac (the dj) asked me to come and hang for a while. So if you get a chance stop by and say hi after 8 pm. This would be an ideal time to meet me rather than call/instant message me a hi. =). Cristinia let me tag around behind her to document her freebie frenzy and this is the restults:

The first stop was at a little market set up until 14 April. There's a little over 20 booths at Waseda (waseda 125/121/26) market. Most things were fairly inexpensive so we really took our time looking around. There were lots of freebies ($0) and a couple dollarbie items. Some items aren't marked as being free so it really pays to scroll over everything. There's also a booth that is filled with completely free items- these items can be found at almost any freebie place, but would be helpful for either a male or female human avatar just starting.



For the pants outfit I used a pair of boots I found on the docks at the Hobo Info Hub (Calleta 78,163,25 -follow the railroad tracks to the docks.). I'm also wearing a pair of glass shoes from Ada Store ($0- Fontaine (39, 104, 50). The skin is an oldie, but goodie from Rabbit Skin ($0 - NEOJAPAN TOKYO 147,60,22).


Next we hopped over to Japon's Seaside Mall (Japon 81, 7,22). Although this appears to be a newer place with lots of open vendor slots the freebie section is nice. There is a lot of variety in the freebies: a couple of dresses, guitars, tree, hair accessories, pets, shirts to name a few. There's also a $10 and $15 dollar photo studio with several $10 packs of textures that may be of some interest. Here's a pic of a nifty little maids outfit I picked up at the Japon's Seaside Mall:



The tights are from the Waseda market, hair from +LALA Moon+ Prim Hair Shop (LALA Moon (126, 210, 28) - which has also added a number of camping chairs for hair, skin from Rabbit Skin, & shoes from Ada Store.

Access (Access 158, 108,22) sim also has a small market set up, but there were no signs so I'm not sure how long this one is set up. You'll find a fair number of stalls set up at this area also. I only saw two vendors that were also at the Waseda market area. So it would be a good idea to hit both the goods ranged from clothing, to avatars, to furniture. You'll find dollarbie skin for the girls & freebies including clothing, avatars, hairs, & furniture for both males and females. Couple of the looks, but believe me there are more from the market area:


(Sometimes you got to do it for the lollerz!)

Lastly, I checked out the bottle hunt & art show - read more on Candy's blog here. I picked up a couple (well, 3) bottles ($1/) at Candy's store Apiece of candy (Immintel (160, 180, 100). Skin & dresses from the hunt. I also saw that the eggs from the sim to sim easter hunt were still out, so if you didn't get those you may want to rush over and pick those eggies up before they are gone.
