The famous open-source free skins from Eloh Eliot have just gotten an update. Read more at Vint Falken's blog. With a little practice you can make your own fabulous skins. What? You find Adobe Photoshop too spendy? Try GIMP for free. It's what I used to make my FrootSkins from an Eloh template.
C'mon! Do it today! Why look like everyone else?
Burning Life '08 had a ton of great freebies, but my favorite is this Sand Lizard made by MenuBar Memorial and available with many other great freebs in a simple tent (SLurl or http://slurl.com/secondlife/Burning%20Life%20(Deep%20Hole)/36/180/2 if that doesn't work). But since the event is done you don't have a lot of time to grab the goodies! Toys and skins and clothes! Oh! My!
The lizard does more than 'burn' as shown here. He 'emotes' in other ways and has his own Magic 8 Ball.
Okay this one is SRSLY cool. You get this entire outfit, shoes and everything FOR FREE just by adding a store to your profile picks! Sweet huh?
Teleport to Freesoul Design, open up your profile, hit the "Picks" tab, and then hit "New" and "Save." Then come back after about 24-48 hours, and click on one of the many picks freebie vendors.

I am very hard to see when wearing a Nomine Aether - Midnight skin (SLurl), a black leather outfit from Danika Designs (Web), Hydra hair in Midnight from Discord (SLurl), primOptic's Finesse glasses (SLurl), Pirate boots from Illusions (SLurl), a TalTECH Black Thunder black pistol (SLurl), and my beloved eCollar (SLurl) in black leather ... so NO Sneaking into the Isle of Lesbos. I'm there, seen or not.

A new outfit for Halloween, the Pumpkin Elf, is in the Freebies section of Bare Rose (SLurl). I don't see why it can't be worn by women, too. It is very festive.
Many other nice things were announced today, too, so be sure to head on down soon! I'm gonna go get this combo outfit and furniture called I'm Home.
A fast, 2-minute cycle chair is at Look Inside Home Design (SLurl) with some sort of lounge chair as the usual prize. Nice stuff in this store. Very contemporary. That seems to be the overall design philosophy in the Paris New York sim. A wonderful re-creation of the Eiffel Tower is here (SLurl). One of the best I've seen in Second Life. I'll have to bring my wife sometime and do some kissing. Worth a look even if you don't want the freebies. I spoke with the owner, AnnMarie McCellan, and she is very nice. She and her husband, Maximilian Legend, built the infrastructure.
A long, 20-minute cycle chair is at Purple Rose Jewelry & Fashion (SLurl) with a cameo as the usual prize. I think this is the store with the earrings that "announce" what they are and where they are from whenever the avie wearing them arrives from teleport.
Pokin' around I found another jewelry store (SLurl) with a Lucky Chair but I didn't investigate Low-Prim High-Style (SLurl) and (SLurl). Free bangles from still another jewelry store, OC Designs (SLurl). Snookreation (SLurl) is a unique store and has a Lucky Chair.
With all these chairs I'm not surprised there is a Lucky Chair vendor near the middle of the sim. Other vendors line the street in mini-shops so be sure to check them out, too.
I popped into Lya (SLurl) to bump a 10 minute chair for some girly shoes I probably wouldn't wear and found this on the way out: Free Sunglasses and free scripts for making sunglasses! w00ters! Other freebs near by include a bikini, shoes, and the fab Facelight 3000.
As you can see their default is kinda small but they have a size modify script in them and also a notecard that helps explain that. Also in this sweet set it comes with a plushie one to hugg, one that attachs to the head, arm, leg, and shoulder. I'm wearing the leg attachment one. ^^
The sculpties on this little cutie are amazing, he also blinks! ^^
Also those who's first time it'll be at Pink Fuel they have some dollarbie highlights. Even though I can't wear these because of the wings I wear there are these adorable chibi wing tattoos you can get from their gatchapon (think 25 cent machine toy machines), it's a dollarbie per random color but so cute!
Long-time favorite place to shop when you couldn't log into the Second Life™ world or for when you wanted to send a gift, SL Exchange (SLex), is now Xstreet SL. My first thought is the site had to rebrand due to the Linden Labs© trademark policy. But the familiar letters SL are in this name, too. A quick search of the site didn't reveal the reasoning behind the change but did show that SLXTerminal Bigwig is still the avie in charge of the in-world terminals. And the vendor supplies (i.e., the server boxes) still have the older brand. If you search with the new name several products show up besides the vendor supplies. Dresses, for example, a sky box, and some furniture.
With recent changes in the weapons policy at the Isle of Lesbos I thought I'd upgrade my collection of basic freebies with some nicer, high-end goods. So I popped into Gryphon Lair (SLurl) to get the nice sword and shield you see here. I found it on SLex first, but decided to check the store because prices in-world are sometimes lower and buying in-world saves the merchant the commission paid to the web vendor. Okies, I have a shop on SLex, too so I do value their service.
But as is my style, I wandered the shopping mall and found it to be a really attractive build. A common area has dancing, places to relax, artwork at ground-level, and a nice gallery in the central tree structure. Most stores are stocked with some nice builds and seem to be good values. And there are freebies.
The pic of me ready to fight was taken in a library (SLurl) in the mall. I could call it a book store, but all the books are free! Choose from Mark Twain, the classics, Jules Verne, and others. Maybe not the kind of freebies most folks are hunting, but variety is the middle name of Second Life™.
The next pic shows the first freeb I found, a nice collection of artworks (SLurl). This store is also pretty typical of the quality of goods I found. Many shops had clothes and there is even a branch of Silent Sparrow here. Certainly well worth a look if you like medieval or other "period" clothes and non-contemporary stylings.
Hey, now you can see my Periquita shooz. And yes I'm wearing two different colors. ;-)Here's a lovely dark look for the upcoming month of October. Photographed at the NEW Lucky Kitty Crew Headquarters, which is all decked out for Halloween.

Fae Dolly Pose in pic #2 is from LAP, and was free during a (*lol*) Poop Hunt
Not free are my Hair, Naoki by Kin (I'm totally in love with this hair), and my shooooooooz that I'm in love with from Periquita (Bought the fatpack during her 50% off sale).
It's great to be able to pop in, grab a freebie, and then zip off to the next one. Time and time again it is better to stay for a few moments and look around for a bit. This proved true again at Tyototsu Farm (SLurl). I grabbed the freebie "veg picking anims" and then looked in the near by store. I found these ... erm ... furniture pieces? Too cute to pass up for L$10 each. I grabbed the Steak (top right) and the desert (bottom left). How Serenity missed these I'll never know.
And right below these treasure is something I really can't believe she missed! A murderous bear!! Murder, blood, mayhem! Oh! The Bearmanity of it all! Should be nice for Halloween, of course. And isn't there someone you would like to see being dragged off by this evil plushie?
Another reason to stay and look is you might spot other freebies. I answered the call to help with a Lucky Fortunes machine at Sugar Mills (SLurl) and found these freebies just hanging on the wall. Sure, they might have been in a previous notice, but I didn't see it. So looking around is good.
Update (a few hours later): The "Food Furniture" are really Wearables, like the sign says (I thought it was an Oops). You can walk around while wearing them. Each box has a "regular" and an "AFK" version. The main difference is the latter has a flag that I'm guessing says AFK, or something like that, in Japanese.
I got this great skin from Cyber Rapunzel in CyberCity at TOCHIGI JAPAN sim. Lucky Board is set at 20 minutes. Skin is called Cyber Halloween.
It's very popular right now, so go quick and you might find that you win quick!

Roy Blanchard shot an IM to me about his Lucky Chairs being on U. Always great stuff at Hug☆Mart (SLurl) so I teleported as quick as I could and was surprised by four chairs! And he has added a Lucky Fortunes machine to his chairs and MobVend.
Sadly, we weren't "fortunate" enough to be a matched pair (I've never won anywhere on that thing) but he's a bear and I'm a lesbian and ... well, let's just say that our folks might object and leave it at that.
If you are a tiny bear like Roy or any kind of Tiny or know one or wanna be one, Hug☆Mart is a great place to shop (Disclaimer: I have two vendors there and donated land to the group) for just about anything you can think up that a Tiny might need or want. When I began in Second Life not many Tinies wore clothes. You should see the selection here! Around the corner to the right of the chairs is a huge (funny word for a tinies store) selection of freebies. Some even work well with full-sized avies.
