Counting down to Halloween!!

Counting down to Halloween!!


With only 7 days to go until “Fright Night” the grid is simpy buzzing with all things spooky! This year promises to see the biggest and best Halloween celebration since Second Life began..the grid is speckled black and orange all over and it’s so much fun picking costumes and just loving all the wonderful things that have been created for us to enjoy! I’ve been *DELUGED* with notecards about freebies and hunts so will try and share as much with you as I can.
Take a look at my Flickr for some inspirational snaps that I’ve taken featuring some amazing Halloween freebies that you can find on X street SL.. Yes, the majority of the items are FREEBIES..No, you didn’t read that wrong!
Kitty Quicky – Happy Birthday Tuli!

Kitty Quicky – Happy Birthday Tuli!

Tuli Asturias celebrates her 34th (Pah-only a baby!) birthday today, so she’s launched a special treat for all of us girlies.  For 24 hours, in each of her stores across the grid,  you’ll find one item for L$34…Easiest way to find all the locations is to use Tuli’s profile as your reference where she lists them all.  There’s some nice stuff to be found, *INCLUDING* some skins, whch are rather lovely! Enjoy!

*Update! Tuli fan Skagen Vita dropped the following on me…yay!*

Freebie Fridays: Runo Runo

Freebie Fridays: Runo Runo

What with the credit crunch being a right royal pain-in-the-ass it makes sense to scour the grid for *quality* freebies. I stress the word QUALITY there, because I’m afraid there is some total cobblers  to be had, and you really do have to sift through the crud to find the diamond in the rough. But when you do, it’s sure to be the sparkliest diamond you ever did see…and here’s a prime example. I’ve just discovered a store called ‘Runo Runo’ and it’s rather special. For a start the jumper I’m wearing here is a FREEBIE. Yes, you read correctly, this quality number is a freebie from SLX. There is nothing I dislike about this- the texture, the fit and the styling are just bloody wonderful and the fact that it costs NOTHING makes it all the more special. This is an essential for your Autumn/Winter wardrobe readers, but not just that- this is haute couture styling, make no mistake about that! I dunno if it’s intentional but there’s a real Issey Miyake feel to the pieces featured, and here’s the best bit- on SLX you can get four freebie pieces from this designer, and the prices for the rest of the collection are..wait for it..L$50. Now, when quality is *this* good, I would actually pay more, but Runo Runo proves that you don’t have to. It kinda makes me wonder why we’re happy to pay the prices that we do for clothing on the grid when some designers are more than happy to flog their wares for pennies..Anyways, go and get the freebies that Runo Runo has to offer…they’re *very* special, and check out the main store too. I’ll be blogging that at a later date, make no mistake!
New Blog Alert: “SL Cheap life for men”

New Blog Alert: “SL Cheap life for men”

Whilst scanning the blogs, which has become my main morning habit along with a ginormous cup of tea and a bowl of wheetos (Oooooohhh Wheetos! Chocolate goodness in every crunchy bite!) I came across this little gem slcheaplifeformen.  Now obviously the writer, Raven Mondschein, is trying to accomplish the same feat that Fabulously Free in Second Life has already achieved, but he’s concentrating all his efforts into seeking out the very best freebie and dollarbie goodies for male avatars. He’s not doing a bad job at all. He’s only been writing the blog since the 7th of May, and he’s gone from being your usual bog standard noobie male avi to one that looks pretty darn good indeed! I know Second Life blogs are ten a penny, but it’s always nice to give newcomers some support, so welcome to the fold Raven! I shall be checking you out on a regular basis, and passing your hints on to Jez and my Dad, LeapyLee, especially. Best of luck!
