freebies

I’ve been crazy busy real life, but I’ve taken a little time to help when I can with the Bunny Hop Gridwide Hunt. I helped review some stores and am posting on The Bunny Hop Blog. So I’m putting up a post here I wrote that went up on that blog earlier today - sans Cutey Magic’s Japanese translation. Here it is:

With 300+ stores in The Bunny Hop, I did not expect to want to keep ALL the prizes I found. But I have not only been delightfully surprised, but STUNNED by the extreme fantasticness (yes, I know that’s not a word, but words just escape me I’m so thrilled) of the prizes in this Second Life hunt.

So even if you rarely hunt, have given up hunts or have never hunted before, you will want to do this one. Here’s just a few of the great gifts to be found.

From K’s House Shop - W&B Sky House with the garden - 91 prims
K’s House Shop

A view in the garden of the W&B Sky House from K’s House Shop. The pose is one from the Cute Poses minipack by Mela’s.

Outfit and specially made Cutey Magic bunny egg by TOAST! The egg opens and closes, and the bunny moves, and opens and shuts its eyes! The Priscilla hair I am wearing in corn blond is by Hal*Hina, and it also comes in almond. This is a view inside the house featured above.

Still inside our Bunny Hop gift house from K’s House Shop and wearing the TOAST! outfit and Hal*Hina hair, you can get a look at the oh-s0-darling pumps by Duh! They gave us both a black and white pair. Duh! also has some shoes for the guys, but they are not shown.

We at SL Shameless Gossip luvz the Greenies, and I blogged the Greenies over a year ago. Naturally, I visited for the holidays.

When I stopped by the Greenie Home to wish my little friends a Merry Christmas, I found some gifts under the Charlie Brown style tree! Here you see me standing on a present looking up at it. So let me show you my finds!

Hat and Greenie love particles

This hat was among the gifts, and I wish you could see it, as it’s the best Santa hat I’ve seen in SL. Also included were wearable Greenie love particles! Don’t mind my friend here, he’s still finishing up his Christmas list. (The outfit was an Advent gift from artilleri that is no longer available.)

Bee Queen costume

In one of the unmarked boxes I found this free bee queen costume, complete with hair, eyes, glowy skirt and bees that buzzed all around me. (Here I am standing in front of a different gift box.) There’s a shape in there too, but sorry, I only wear my own shapes. No matter what, I want to look like me.

The prim top came in two attachments,  left and right pecs. Now when your AO moves, that can leave you a bit exposed, as it doesn’t move with you. So I did a bit of editing and attached one to my chest point and one to my spine point. Since my own shape is bigger than the one included, I also increased the size of the prim top. I then moved the bee attachment (it was a spine attachment) which makes all the bees buzz around and moved it to my right hip. If you can edit prims at all, you know all of this only took a few minutes. If you don’t know how to edit, wear the included shape.

Little bird avatar

Next, I found the gift of a little bird avatar! Yep, that little blue bird in there is me!

Greenie slippers

Back home at my Damiani Christmas room (blogged earlier) you see me relaxing in pajamas by Damiani. Though these came with very cute little red house slippers, I have replaced them with the greenie house slippers I found as a gift under the tree at the Greenie Home.

I continued my exploration of winter showcase sims today at Wintermute. Wintermute is described in Search as “a poem inside a mystery wrapped inside a metaphor.”

Poetry flows through Wintermute. This sign says "All of our tears are frozen."

An unexpected refuge from the bitter winter

Free skating dress from Nylon Outfitters. Bunny ear muffs match the fur-cuffed skates; both from Chapeau tres Mignon.

Contemplating the meaning of life and death

This cute little skating dress is in the women’s freebies package you can find on a sign right inside the wall at Nylon Outfitters. Three different colors gloves are included, as is a red skating dress and, well, just all kinds of other freebies.

These may be my fave color combination of the Chapeau tres Mignon skates - black and silver.
