Carnival of doom and Gipsy Soul

Lokum was nice enough to send me the new outfit from the lucky chair at the Carnival of Doom. It's this bloody mess, I love it! The chair is in the barn to your left at the landing point.

Thanks Lokum!

Bloody dress lucky chair, Carnival of Doom

I saw Ding blog this and I knew I had to tell you guys about it too! Gipsy Soul has a free sock with a gift for you at the entrance of its store. Thanks Ding for the great find!

This pink shirt and short is the new freebie from Sn@tch. The leg-warmers and fishnets are from the lucky chair. The outfit on the left is from the lucky chair too but I think it was made for men, either that or my new fitness teacher is going to be really proud of my abs and pecs!

Argrace - Limited offer

So the other day I was Christmas shopping in SL and I stopped by Argrace because they have transfer outfits. When I landed there I grabbed the freebie in the lobby and then carried on with my shopping quickly forgetting about it. Tonight though while cleaning my inventory I found it again!

So go grab this really cute couch for 0l at the entrance of Argrace! It has single poses and couple poses and will only be there until the 31st of december!

*baps away at the confetti and pushes the gifts wrappings behind the couch*

Hello hello! I am back for the moment... that is until I get started on my New Year's barathon!

Anyhoo if this post is old news to you bear with me as up until yesterday I was still too drunk to type!

MichaMi sent those gorgeous bustiers via its subscribo as a Christmas gift. Just go to the store and check the subscribo history to get them.

Bustiers subscribo, MichaMi

Those Gingerbread and Hanukah dresses are gifts from Katat0nik you can either get them for 0l at the Axis Mundi Christmas tree or look in the group notices for them.

EDIT: The dresses at the foot of the tree are a bit different than the one I am wearing that are from the group notice, they are less detailed but still very cute. By the way I have been in the Katat0nik group so long I forgot: to join the group you have to spend at least 250l in the store and then you will get invited. Being in the group is really worth it though!

Dresses group gift, Katatonik

That's all I've got for now folks! Always a bit hard to get back in the loop when you have been away for a while but don't worry I shall have something delicious for you soon! Until then... *throws smoke grenade and crawls out*

Okay, so I was listening to Kings of Leon when I came up with the title of this post. It fits, so sue me. :)

*Little Fish* has a new store! To celebrate the opening (and Christmas), they've spoiled us with loads of freebies! Horray for the fishies!

When you walk in, to your right, there will be a wall of discounted items and a row of cute freebies!

This red Asian-style shirt is sure to draw plenty of admiring glances!

Such a cute shirt for hanging around with the gang or for snuggling!

The texture on this Asian-style blouse is soooooooo pretty!

These dresses are just way too cute to pass up!

This cute and sexy outfit is in a huge Christmas box in the middle of the store!

While hanging with the BFF, I inspected her hair (rather than simply asking where her hair was from), and saw that it was from Novocaine. I'm sure many of you have been there, bought stuff from there , blah blah blah. It's a new-to-me store, so bear with me. So, never having been there, I decided to take a little trip to their main store.

While browsing amongst the hip clothing, I noticed a red Christmas box on a table. So, I snooped and discovered that the generous owner, Novo Zimerman, had laid it out for the holiday season. Inside to box are: a cardigan, a frayed top, a sweater dress, and two hairstyles.

The festive hair & shirts are adorable!

You can be a sexy little elf in this number. Also comes in red (free also)!

The fab skin I'm wearing in all the pictures is a dollarbie from *Beauty Avatar*! It's in the section where all the skins are (obviously). I'm not sure how long it'll be there, so hurry your buns up and get it and all the other sweet freebies you've seen!

Fabulous Freebies:
-Shirts & pants (first three pics): *Little Fish* - $0L (in-store freebie)
-Dresses (fourth pic): *Little Fish* - $0L (in-store freebie)
-Christmas set (fifth pic): *Little Fish* - $0L (in-store freebie)

As always the lucky chair changes letter every five minutes but there are a lot of different items in the chair so it might take a while to get yours. The chair is on the 2nd floor.

This dress on the right is a dollarbie from Ayak@mi. Just go inside the store and look for it on the floor in front of you. It's supposed to be a limited offer so run there!

Tuli, Axel and The Black Canary

Good morning everyone! 

This is gonna be a quick blogpost as I have to cook lunch still!

Anyhoo the skins I'm wearing on those pictures are the new group gift from Tuli. She sent us 3 different skin tones of her new skin and I am wearing tan and medium here. As always joining the group costs 250l but it's well worth it as the gifts are truly good. By the way the skins also come with two shapes!

Niki Axel from Axel was nice enough to send me their new dollarbie in store and it is this beautiful little dress! Gives us a nice break from all the sweaters doesn't it?

This fetching hat is the group gift from The Black Canary. The group has over 150 member now and to celebrate this Morrigan very nicely sent us all this hat! Congrats Morrigan and thank you!

Playing with Razors

Miss Lola79 Hienrichs pulls double duty on a daily basis. Not only is she a designer herself (she owns and creates for Otaku Designs, making delectable tattoos), but she's also the manager of Razor Mall. I absolutely love this mall. It's spacious, it's filled with great designers and it's nekoriffic.

Do as the sign says!

What you'll be looking for are these green & white candy canes.

Don't eat these babies! Inside is a fabulous gift from Razor Mall vendors!

Here's a listing of the fabulous stores that are participating in the hunt (note: vendors may add more candy canes to the hunt at a later time):

Razor Creations
OA Designs
Jezzebel Rock
Otaku Designs
Rare Breed
Sassy Kitty Designs
Primtronics
Nekorotic Misfits
SaSe
Hot Rockstar
Laa Lee Teknoshop
Metal Gear
Gesticles

Jezzebel Rock owner Sinogue Anatra is a very generous woman. Whenever Razor Mall has a hunt, she throws loads of her merchandise in balloons, candy canes or whatever vessel is used. Plus, she has an awesome new camping chair that you can plop your butt on for 20 itty bitty minutes for some fun and imaginitive clothes! That's what I did in the middle of the hunt. I couldn't help myself! I don't have much self control when it comes to her clothing, sorry. :) So, I did what any blogger would do: modeled the clothing gained from the hunt from the comfort of the camping chair.

The mistletoe pajama set from Jezzebel Rock comes with the slippers!

The reindeer pajama set from Jezzebel Rock is classy, girly and lovely.

These Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired pajamas from Jezzebel Rock have Jack's face on 'em and are adorable!

This yellow sequins top from Jezzebel Rock is perfect for clubbing or adding a little "oomph" to a blazer! The snowflake tattoos are just one of the awesome gifts from Otaku Designs.

I love Sinny!

The lovely top from Sassy Kitty Designs gives a sexy edge to the Mrs. Claus look.

While I was browsing around Razor Mall, [RockBerry] group members were treated to a gorgeous new gift courtesy of Heather Beebe, the sweet owner/designer of the group. The skin is delicate and perfect for the season! If you can see the pretty, dainty earrings I'm wearing in most of these pics (you might have to click to pic to get a better view), they're from OA Designs and they're available for the hunt!

[RockBerry] designer Heather Beebe is very generous to her group year 'round!

I ran into one of the owners of Razor Mall, Miss Sevannah Bailey, who warmly greeted me. She's at the mall often, making sure everything is running smooth and that both patrons and vendors alike are happy. Sweet as can be (and very busy!). She also co-owns Razor Creations with her hubby Rycan Kraken.

Sevannah Bailey is the co-owner of both Razor Mall AND Razor Creations. Behind her, the new addition: lucky chairs!

I enjoy every trip to Razor, and I think you will too. They have hunts for every major holiday, so it is well worth joining the Razor Mall group.

More awesome gifts await you in the candy canes!

By the end of my journey, I was exhausted. I had to hitch a ride with Santa! He didn't mind one bit!

Generosity from Prism Haute Couture, Sn@tch, Eat Rice! and Philotic Energy!

Some of SL's finest and brightest are sure spoiling us rotten...not that I'm complaining! Prism Haute Couture's subscribo let it's members know that there was a new freebie item inside the store, and boy is it cute! Noel 2008 comes complete with everything you see here (sans hair, ears & antlers...but I'll get to that soon!)! In a world where we've gotten used to stores giving us a shirt or some shorts, Prism flat out spoils it's customers and members! Not only do we get freebies, we get a whole complete outfit. Journey McLaglen, the brainchild behind Prism Haute Couture and Charade, is also treating anyone who purchases one of the new outfits with a special gift, to be given out at a later date. I'm not sure if this is a one-night event, but get your butts there, because it's sure to be very nice, indeed!

The fun jeans say "Joyeux Noel" on them! How cute is that?

As if that weren't enough, there is yet ANOTHER complete outfit freebie in her store! Holiday Cheer 2008 is just as fun as Noel 2008! Go snatch these cute freebies ASAP since I'm not too sure how long they're going to be available! While you're there, look around because there are so many really cute outfits there, you're more than likely to fall in love with something!

Journey's clothes are painstakingly detailed! I love 'em and so will you!

Ho, ho, ho! What would you like for Christmas? Something Haute!

Ellie Celt, the fashion czar of Eat Rice!, sent out a really cute (and very generous!) group gift for her followers today! She was obviously in a Christmas state of mind, probably humming "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", when she created this cute concoction.

Comes with and without lights for your antlers!

Yes! You can change the color of your bangs!

This reindeer set comes complete with antlers and ears & a tail that twitch!

Sn@tch's Ivey Deschanel is always so generous to her devotees. This holiday season, she's treating them all to a lovely red sweater dress hilariously called "Ho Ho No"! The outfit comes with everything you see here, except the boots. The reason why Sn@tch is so popular is because of her generosity year-round.

Simple. Classy. Chic. What more could you ask for?

I popped over to Philotic Energy on a whim and was pleasantly surprised to see that the always thoughtful Aemilia Case has a lovely in-store freebie set for the holidays! The set includes these very pretty, delicate silver earrings and this awesome hair called "Rae" in mochachino.

The earrings are lovely and the hair is cute and stylish!

All in all, we the consumers make out like bandits. If it weren't for these designers taking out time to show their appreciation to us, we wouldn't look so fabulous (without digging into our pockets). So when you're picking up these awesome gifts, drop the fab designers a line and let them know that their efforts aren't in vain. Or better yet, look for them at their stores. Chances are, they're there. Just look at my trip to Eat Rice!
