New Look, New Address

ASU - Alien Gizmocover_001
Hello all, hope you had a great weekend!
Here’s a quick post to get you in on the Grand Re-Opening of Alien Gizmo.  They’ve moved, redecorated, and are celebrating with a 200L gift card.  Simply, join their group (it’s free) and go shop.
While your there be sure to check out the group gift area.  Granted the women’s side has many more gifts then the men’s, but both are worth checking out.

Of course, we did find a few more goodies from other places.  Both of our models are wearing the Minato Hair subscriber gift from Argrace.  Subscribing is free, and once done you can collect 5 nice gifts.  Thanks Argrace!
Iona’s smokey eyeshadow only one shade included in a fabulous gift from Zibska for the Sense Event.  Best of all, Zibska thoughtfully included tattoo layers along with the mesh appliers so everyone can share in the glamour.

This colorful mini is just one of the fun finds.

Nice detailing and an included alpha for classic avatars.  Not a bad freebie, not bad at all!

Since we managed to hijack Lady Mystic along with her lovely lips for another post, we simply had to feature more lipstick from Livia. Just Reds is this month’s group gift at Livia. This lipstick set is simply awesome.  Thanks Livia for another great gift!

It’s Five O’clock Somewhere


…is that a pineapple margarita?

Could be, but then again it could be a painkiller, a calypso sun, a screwdriver, maybe even a lemon sour. Oh so many delicious concoctions, so little time.

Bar hopping in Second Life(SL) has its perks. Sit your avatar at a bar and most likely you’ll be given your choice of FREE delectable beverages to imbibe. Of course, you’ll have to accept the items first, then pop into your inventory, locate the drinks, select one and then add it to your attire. Yes, drinking is a process, but once mastered your avatar will never be parched again!

…and don’t forget the added bonus: once those drinks have been accepted they are yours to keep and/or share FREE & CLEAR.

Now that our thirst has been quenched, let’s discuss today’s freebies.

Pictured above we have a wonderful group gift from M&M.  It’s a mesh peek-a-boo spiked variation of the little black dress.  The dress comes in standard mesh sizes.  If you wear a mesh body you will most likely have to alter your shape a bit to wear the dress properly.  All of the cut work makes using mesh body alphas impossible.

This was my first visit to M&M.  I was impressed by the store’s generosity.  Not only is their group free to join, but they have a wall filled with past group gifts that are also free.  I’ll definitely include several of these items in future posts, so stay tuned.

OMBRE 1

Normally at this point I’d simply present a style card. Some gifts simply demand more than a simple one line blurb. Today’s hair is one such gift!

On a recent visit to enVogue I easily spotted 3 free gifts. There are 2 versions of the Elissa Hair. The subscriber gift is Elissa Ombre pictured above & below. enVogue’s group gift is Elissa Diversity (not blogged).

Each version comes with 4 choices: fitted, fitted (materials), rigged, rigged (materials). The included hud offers a total of 32 color variations.  Though some of the colors may look similar, each option is subtly different.  This is an exquisite gift that truly showcases the artistry of enVogue’s designers.  It is also the kind of gift that turns a freebie grabber into a paying customer.  Awesome job enVogue!

OMBRE 2

Completing today’s ensemble is a pair of beautifully detailed heels from Pure Poison. I can easily see these becoming a new favorite.

Iona’s Style Card:
HAIR – enVogue Elissa Rigged (materials) – Color Hud (subscriber gift 0L)
DRESS – M&M Neska Dress – Color Hud (group gift 0L/0L to join)
SHOES – PurePoison Lavinia Sandals – Nude (group gotcha 0L/0L to join)
HANDSOME COMPANION – MrMikeyUk – SL Singer & Builder (priceless)
