BareRose - How do I love thee?

Okay, so if you are new to the group, you may not have heard of BareRose Tokyo. And if you are old to the group, you may not have been in a while. But I absolutely LOVE BareRose, or B@R for the aficionado's in the group.

A cool thing I just found at B@R is this lovely little Weaving Loom on the beach. It's an item camp device, and you can camp for 2 mins or so and get 1 Hand-Made Kimono Mini Skirt in a single color. There are 6 colors total, but it's completely random.





Come have fun with this at BareRose! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Black%20Cat/76/124/128

I give this a 5 LOLcat Rating:

Another Shameless Plug for IOL

After August 5th, send an IM (or notecard is better) to Lucky Kitty Uccello Poultry if you didn't get all the prizes from the IOL World Flag Hunt.

More Finds at Grendel's Children

(SLurl) Dollarbie Horseshoe Crab avies, Jellyfish avies, and Trilobite avies.

Of course, all the avies at Grendel's are bargains :)

MIA Freebie Store

Look what I found FREE at the M.I.A. store (SLurl)! Tons of freebs there. Sure, veni, vidi, vici. But sometimes you need to revisit places. I hadn't seen this before :)

Alazarin's Freebie Treehouses

Not long after I started in Second Life™ my brother set aside a basic 512m² lot for me from all the land he owned and took me to Alazarin's to get a free treehouse (I'd always wanted one). So when a new friend wanted a treehouse for her rental lot in FurNation I took her to the same place (SLurl).

The store has changed in the last couple years and a new treehouse has been added, the "Alazarin's Big Free TreeHouse." He also has a nifty collection of other freebies, too. Some you'll find elsewhere but many you won't. By the way the smaller treehouse (the "Novella 512 Free," pictured here) comes with all kinds of extra goodies like a long-distance (more than 300m) teleporter and a ton of textures.

She's furnishing them with freebies we found at Sn@tch (SLurL), though I could have given most of them to her. Most are reboxed "Hobo" freebs by Arcadia Asylum and available from her little shop (SLurl).

Calculating the Cube Boot of 18

What comes in plain cubes and women often drool over? Why boots and shoes, of course! Someone TPd me to a camping area (SLurL) that had 18 or 20 Lucky chairs on fast cycles and filled with boots and shoes. I'm more of a sneakers and bare feet girl, but the women around me were clearly in heat about all the footwear around them.

OSGrid Hippo

Click this SLurl to get a free hippo.

Okies, it isn't much. The box it comes in is cool (shown in foreground). But the really cool thing is the easel! Behind that big, unlinkable sign is a nice artist/display easel (16 prims!!). Faster than building your own. Inside the building is a free t-shirt. Something about a free sim, too, but I can't figure it out. It wouldn't be in Second Life™.

IOL Hunt: World Flags Ends August 5th!

Ends August 5th so come on down!

Shoes & More @ Material Squirrel

Material Squirrel has some free flowery shoes and naughty-wear on a table (SLurl). Pink, purple, and red flowers on a wedge base. Each color is changeable to some shade of the main color by touching the flower. For some reason two shoe bases are included.

I wasn't impressed with the corsets and panties. At least not enough to spend time photographing them. Nicer than some I've seen. Not keepers for me.

Musashi-Do Main Fashion Shop Freeb

I've wondered about Musashi-Do since I found a wonderful freeb from them on SLex about a year ago. According to About Land at their store (SLurl) their theme is "Italian fashion meets the far east. Every style of Men and Women's fashion. Suits, dresses, gowns, clubwear and lingerie."

Turns out it is rather nice. I'm buying things even as I write this post. All I know is that I get hit on a lot when I wear this crop-top outfit and some of the other clothes look like winners, too.

Male and female in two bags on a table in the lobby, but there is an SLex exclusive freeb here. It is a Motorsports Race Queen outfit much like one they sell at the store and it is transferable. Makes a nice gift.

'Bot Attack!

From Serernity's Group Notice from earlier today:

Well that just scared the heck outta me, enter the chapel and get a freeb Gorgeous av. Though oddly enough when I entered the real Gorgeous appeared, danced, dropped the world on me and I think I had a heart attack, no LM only SLURL

http://slurl.com/secondlife/OTONA%20SEA/229/42/30

Being curious I dropped in and my Mini-map showed an avie quite near by, but above me so I figured that Gorgeous was probably waiting. Into the building I went only to be pelted with planets (okay, 1m diameter prims with an Earth texture) and then I was swooped and talked to very earnestly in Japanese! Deciding I didn't need the freebie (No, I'm not it it for the freebs) I simply looked around then left and came back so I could be swooped again, this time with my translator active.

Pretty obvious Gorgeous is a well-programed 'bot. The Rock Vault sim uses 'bots in much the same fashion. Nice little bit of fun and if you need an odd costume, go for it.

Freebies from Torley

Linden Lab®'s beloved Torley Linden now has his own sim as she proudly announced recently on the official Second Life™ blog. It is a fun place to explore and watch his popular video tutorials in-world, not just on the Web. It is also a place for Freebies!

And you can find several when you first arrive (SLurl). The free Follow Cams will change your avatar's point of view (sometimes nauseatingly so) and a "Stop Viewer-side Effects (drop this in your objects as needed)" script will erase hover text from a prim and more. Caution: Gathering these items is strange. You 'Buy' the cams and touch the the script sign to get the script. Other items in TorleyWorld are Take-a-Copy.

Right next to these are Torley's textures and a texture viewer. You can also get the textures in other places and I've seen better viewers (I love the free one from Prospero Linden. I heard from a friend that some watermelon clothes are near by, but I didn't see them. FYI: I recorded the SLurls for the various freebs I found but managed to lose them. Sorry. They aren't hard to find and you'll want to explore anyway.

If you head across a small bay behind the texture vendor you'll see a walkway skirting the water. A small bucket with a fish gives a fishing rod when you click it. Didn't try it, though, but I plan on trying it when I go back. I tried to make this a quick trip. If you look carefully in the water you'll see some bubbles rise and a small stick near by. Maybe. It seems that someone put in a sea mine rezzer.

So when you grab one of the free boat rides (you don't get to keep the boat) be very careful when you drive around. You can't circumnavigate the island, but it is a fun way to get to the games arcade. That 'someone' is Ravenelle Zugzwang, by the way. Also known as Mrs. Torely, I suppose. She seems to be the Architect, Landscaper, Artist, Designer, Builder, and Chief Cook (lot of eggs all around).

But I get ahead of myself. If you explore around the little bay before heading to the walkway you'll find some shelves with a box of 100 prims (w00ters) and a bottle of SLixir. Both are really gag gifts but cute. Behind the shelves is a bulletin board where you can post pix you've taken. Also near here are some bunnies you can sit on as they sit around egg shells. Eggs and watermelons are definite themes here.

About that Games Arcade: Here you will find a free guitar and some of the art on the walls is 'Take-a-Copy'. Of course, you can play the games, sit on Kimagure (AKA Bashful or Inky) from the Pac-Man game, or just hang out.

Lots of places to hang out in this sim. At most you can watch some video tutorials but others are just for fun. There are a couple "dueling" spots that I haven't figured out. Maybe I should have logged in one of my hundreds of Alts to help me. This spot is cool, even if you don't mess with the sky settings like this pic shows.

Of course, you'll find Torley's office. Kinda blends in with all the green and pink and .. erm .. artful clutter. So drop in to Here (yes, that is the Sim name) and explore, grab some freebs, and maybe even learn a few things.

Redesign for Boneflower~Jungle Voodoo

Another place I look forward to exploring is the redesigned Temenos sim, home to Boneflower Designs and Jungle Voodoo. I popped in to swoop the new Lucky Chair for this outfit, the Kitten Paw Sweater Outfit. As you can see, there is a black skirt and a white one, but there are three tops in each color, too. The 'Glitch" pants look great without the skirt, I'm happy to say (not a skirt-lovin' kitty here). Boots, socks, hair, etc., not included (naturally), but you can see what they recommend in the pic. Think you might find them to buy in the store? hmmm?

BTW - Grab the Free "Somebody Loves You" kitty next to the Lucky Chair.
