Bad, bad boys.

Every so often, I like to change things up on my posts. Today, I'm going to show some clothing for the boys in our lives. As I'm sure many of you know, the grid can be a scary and intimidating place for a man who wants to look for clothing. Guys pretty much get the short end of the stick when it comes to high quality clothing, much less the cheapies and freebies.


First up is a new store called + blacklisted + on the new Starlust sim, Horst. The shirts are put together very nicely using great textures. You can tell the shirts had a lot of blood, sweat and tears (i.e. effort) put into them. To celebrate their grand opening, there is a dollarbie inside of the store!



The middle one is $1L!


Pig is a store that sells, not only cute feminine clothes, but also unisex and men's clothing. Pig's style is fun, fresh, and breaks away from the norm. Their clothes aren't for everyone, but if you want something that'll have people asking, "where'd you get that?" then this is your place.



Left: $1L@their main store. Right: free from the Poop Hunt!

While all of the freebies and dollarbies are great, let's not forget to browse around the stores. So many people complain about the 'smash & grab' mentality that some accuse freebie blogs of feeding. We truly appreciate the fabulous gifts that the various talents around the grid lovingly create for us. Let's show them our support!

Fab, but not free (or no longer available):
-Shirt: (1st & 3rd on pic#1): + blacklisted +
-Hair: Junwave ($200L for a fatpack!)
-Jeans: (pics# 1&2) League
-Skin: Belleza (old group gift)

**Editor's note: It was brought to my attention that a store I previously mentioned (I removed the paragraph and photos) has ripped skins for sale. We at Baking Cupcakes do not condone this behavior, for it is insulting to not only us, but also to the hardworking and decent creators that make Second Life a joy to be a part of.

Brains & cupcakes.

Otaku Designs has an in-store dollarbie at their brand new main store at HoPo. The dollarbie? Some really cute cupcake pasties and panties. As you might have guessed, we here at Baking Cupcakes love us some cuppycakes. Also for a dollar, are the grand opening ladies & gents dollarbie necklaces at the front of the store.



Cupcake lovin'.


Nomine is still having a brain hunt at their store, which is where I got the skin I'm wearing in the pic below. The brains aren't free, but at $200L a piece, they're well worth it! After I got tired of nomming on brains, I was lucky enough to win an outfit from one of the lucky chairs! I'm not sure how much longer the brain hunt will go on, but when it ends, the zombie skins will go back to their regular $1,000L price tag.



Will f*ck for brains.

DCNY has the goods.

I got a notecard today from DCNY's subscribo about a 50% off sale they're having until September 13th, so naturally, my interest was piqued. I hopped over there and got a few sweet half off items. I also picked up three dollarbies that you may like as well.


First up is this really cute black strapless swimsuit! I had to get out of my house and go find a nice beach scene to take a pic! They have other colors available, but they're not $1L.



A sexy black swimsuit for $1L? You betcha.


Next is this cute black mini-dress with poofy sleeves. I really do like this style. I like almost everything about this dress, except for the ill-placed logo. If you don't mind the logo, however, grab this otherwise lovely dress!





Last up is this adorable lime green dress that is great for spring or summer. It has an almost 50's vibe to it, which I think makes it look even more lovable.



I love this color.

If you liked what you saw, head over to DCNY and take a look around. You will more than likely find something that you will like! Don't forget that the sale ends September 13th!

Fabuloso, but not free:
-Hair: Shag
-Skin: Bebae

Fairy Tales.

One of my best girls, Lola, TP'd me to a few places today. I can always count on her to find great, off-key places that have awesome stuff at awesome prices (she loves a great bargain as much as I do)!

So, she TP'd me to Hal-Hina first, where they're having their 2nd anniversary in SL. To celebrate this momentous occasion, they set out a free, gorgeous and breezy summer skirt! They also have some special gift bags ($380L/ea.) with an outfit, skin and hair in them.



Mother Goose tees (from a 'three tees for $30L' pack) & Hal Hina skirt!


I paired the skirt with some tees I bought from Mother Goose, a new-to-me store that Lola also TP'd me to. They have some really cute stuff there that is more than reasonably priced. A whole little house is full of nothing but dollarbies in it! Skins, tees, shoes! Plus, they have a few lucky boards, two of which contain skins (I happened to win them)!



The 'Cry Yan' skins from the lucky boards.


I mentioned the house o' dollarbies at Mother Goose. Here are the skins I nabbed from there:


All sorts of awesome.


And finally, here are some of the clothes I got from the dollarbie house!



Undies came in a big box that was free. Yay! All the shirts were $1L.

Awesome, fabulous goodies...that aren't free:

Sadly, Miabella Foxley will be leaving SL and has decided to give away ALL (as in *everything*) her furniture. To receive the box of awesome furniture, you have to join her inworld group (m. fox boxed, free to join).

So, a big THANK YOU to Miabella!

It's getting hot in here...

... so take off all your... erm!

But it is seriously hot in France at the moment, I am melting on my chair! I hope the weather is more viable wherever you guys are.

Anyway one of my favie store, because it has such gorgeous textures, Seldom Blue has a limited offer to celebrate their new release the Francesca Satin dress range. They are offering this delicious little morsel of a dress on the left for only 1L and as an introduction sale they reduced one of the set of the dress for 100L only instead of the usual 465L. You can see me wearing it on the right and it comes with a lot more skirts options believe me!

The reduced dress pack and the 1L one can both be found in the gown section of the store.

In case you haven't heard about it yet the Pro Posers hunt, with only poses stores, started on the 15th of August and goes on until the 30th! Since I don't know if we will end up doing that blogpost with all the prizes as we first intended to do because we are busy (read: lazy) I thought I would at least show you the prize I made for my store Pffiou!.

It's a 5 people group pose that you can use on your own or with others since you can hide the poseballs. And yes the fence comes with the poses.

HoPo gifts :)

Hodgepodge, or HoPo as it's lovingly called, is a new sim. You know what that means: gifts. I only went to a few stores, as I was a little pressed for time, but what I grabbed was wonderful. Don't let me tell you how fab they are, see for yourself! I'll just sit here and eat my Tres Leches ice cream while you browse the pics of the pretties I scored for free and on the cheap.

Somatica Sweetness.

I went exploring around the Starlust sim, Elliot. Okay, okay, not exploring...hunting for clams (for their Panty Raid hunt), when I ran into a new-to-me place called Somatica. On the wall, they had a fetching freebie: a red cardigan, a blue with black hearts panty & bra set and a pose! I couldn't resist buying the yellow companion bra & panty set right next to the freebie (a steal at $50L), either. I can't turn down a bargain, dudes.



Wear it with or without the cardigan! The free pose the outfit comes with is on the right. :)


The yellow bra & panty set is below. I took this pic at home. I was in a weird, silly mood. I got the stove (1 prim), the frying pan with a Sion egg & the rolling pin (complete with an angry wave animation) from XstreetSL.com for free or cheap.

I mean if I keep doing it who knows what kind of weird title I will come up with next time right? I could reveal deep unknown thoughts!

I love Barb & Ava, those Kunglers girls. They love giving gifts out to their groupies! What's more, if you wear your group tag at their store and purchase a specially marked outfit (there's a gold star with a 'K' on them), you get a special group discount! This week, the ladies have done it again with an outfit that is full of WIN!



Fabulous group gift from Kunglers!


Intricately detailed and made with lovely textures, this outfit is gorgeous. Just join the group! You'll want to stay in their group, since they regularly spoil their devotees with gifts and the aforementioned group discounts.

A quick post before I go back to goofing off in-world. I popped over to this random sim by accident and ended up scoring a really cute freebie from a new-to-me place called Mixx Ethnic Style (the store's sign says "Zest Mixx" also). Their main store is located here, which is where you can snag the group gift (in-world group) on the wall -- just wear your group tag.




Free shirt from the lucky board at their store at the Horseshoe sim!




Group gift belt, available on the wall at their main store!


It's also worth mentioning that LionSkins has a $10L sale going on at the moment (until the 15th) on all of their "Su" skins, which will be discontinued. If you don't go stock up on these lovely skins, you're crazy!
