Ohai.

Hello Cupcakes! *sighs* Yes, I have been M.I.A. from this blog for far too long. Yes, I am accepting spankings as a punishment. I meant to do this post last night, but I ended up falling asleep because I'm lame. Anyway, enjoy!

If you're a member of the So Many Styles in-world group, activate those tags and head on down to their new mainstore for a special group gift -- this cute shirt & skirt/belt outfit! Thank you, Miss Irie Campese for this very generous gift! I'm also wearing the new dollarbie butterfly skin from Orage Creations (aka *OC*). If you're into nice skins with facial designs, I recommend checking it out!

Next, while it's not free, it's a great bargain at $75L -- the new shirt from + blacklisted + which is only available for this weekend for Project Themeory!
Gauge Laville, the owner of + blacklisted + released the shirt a wee bit early because: 1.) he wants to give people ample opportunity to get the shirt and 2.) he's taking a long and well-deserved break for this holiday weekend and wouldn't have been able to release it later.




Bubbles Clawtooth (from Clawtooth) also sent out a generous and fabulous group gift via his subscribo: this lovely updo called Mrs. Mittens 2 in 'Valentine'.

I think we all know the situation where we try to fit too much stuff in a too small bag. But who knew it would lead to some cute poses? Go over to Storin's newest satellite store at Albero and you can struggle with a bag too!
But before you start stuffin' your bag, hop on over to Nuuna's skins and get her latest cheapie. A pitch black skin with a green accent. You know you want it!

Fantasy Faire - Last Day!

Cupcakes, cupcakes. If you haven't been to the Fantasy Faire yet, today is your last chance! I know this is a freebie blog, but I'm going to show you some great finds you can get for a great price at the Fantasy Faire! If this is the first time you've heard about it, the Fantasy Faire is a RFL event that is benefiting the American Cancer Society. Each store has RFL vendor items for sale. Some are $500L, some are more, some are less. The RFL vendor items' proceeds go to the ACS. If you're going to spend money, make your lindens count for this great cause.

Evie's Closet, known for gorgeous, romantic gowns with a medieval and elven twist, has out some really lovely items for $50L each.

Plus, a super cute mouth munchie - a mermaid for your mouth! It's really cute and it emits bubbles!





As I said, today is the last day for the Fantasy Faire, so get your little booties over there before it's too late!

Where It's Okay To Be A Piggy.

Pig. To me, when I hear that word, mouth-watering visions of sausage and bacon flood my mind (and saliva fills my mouth). However, Pig is no longer just the other white meat - it's a store in Second Life. Yes, the store looks like it was taken out of Cold War era USSR or some other Eastern European country behind the Iron Curtain...and yes...you aren't seeing things. There are pigs outside of the store (and attempting to mount a motorcycle at + blacklisted + which is directly across from Pig). Yes, there is an armed swine in the courtyard waving a semi-automatic weapon (I think) while wearing a Che Guevara beret with a certain infamous quote from a Martin Scorcese movie. All of this and more is just more of a reason to check it out. If the pigs didn't grab you, then the clothing will.



This is something I haven't seen before in SL. Guayaberas. If you don't know what a guyabera is, just look at the pic above. My grandfather wears these things like it's going out of fashion. He wears them to the movies, to church, out to eat, when he goes to get a haircut, etc. It's an all-purpose bad ass Mexican shirt, really. They're very comfortable and they can be a little on the expensive side ($70USD+). Last year for his birthday I got him two more guyaberas to add to his collection and he was so happy. I have one irl in a deep violet color that I still wear on occasion (like during Fiesta Week which happens to be going on in my hometown of San Antonio right now). Anyway, I hadn't seen these anywhere in SL until I popped over to Pig for $50L Friday and saw that Miss Apatia put out a cotton candy pink one for free (she was celebrating Pink Shirt Day for anti-bullying). It's for men and women. I loved it and wanted to get it in different colors. Unfortunately, this shocking pink version was the only one I saw at her store...until one of my friends told me that if I joined the Purveyors of Accidental Love group, I could score the guyabera in eggshell. The group gives out random free gifts, so I'd suggest staying in the group instead of joining, grabbing the freebie, and leaving. As I've said before with the subscribo thingies, these creators work too hard for that kind of treatment.




While I was wandering around her store looking for more guyaberas, I found Pig's Zombie Popcorn Hunt gift, this classy bikini that shows off Tuli's group gift skin's awesome butt cleavage! The Tuli group ($250L to join) gets the first sneak peaks of Tuli's newest releases. This lovely skin is called 'Sayuri' and it will be out soon. I can't wait!

If you liked what you saw, please check out the cool stores. If you don't, you might get a visit from this angry fella:

Introducing Elle

If you're a member of the Belleza in-world group ($250L joining fee), you *might* have noticed that Mr. Tricky Boucher gave us an introduction to his newest line, Elle. As with his previous lines, Jesse & Alyson, Elle is gorgeous. You may have noticed that there is a difference between this line and his previous ones: he has made a darker skin, mocha. It's absolutely lovely!

So if you like what you see, join the Belleza group for $250L and/or head over to the store and try on some demos! (A little FYI: there are three sections for the new Elle skins -- they're divided by eyebrow color!)

Starlust & Zombie Jesus love you

Hola Cupcakes! Happy Easter from Texas! As you know, there have been quite a few hunts. One in particular is the Starlust egg hunt which is still going on now. It's not rocket science -- just find the big ol' eggs laying around. They're not hard to find, trust me. Most, if not all, are not free, but they're a steal! For example, I got the + blacklisted + shirt for $10L and I love it. So much, in fact, that I went to a zombie RP sim and got up close & personal with the zombie of my dreams. Too bad I had to shoot him in the face. Remember, ladies and gents -- you need to destroy the brain!

Ready to kick some zombie butt.

Sorry, you won't be feasting on my delectable brain tonight, dude.

Roller Girls

Happy St. Patty's Day! Some of SL's best and brightest content creators have been so generous to us! I've previously shown you some of their offerings. With it being St. Patrick's Day, it'd be crazy of me not to show you some more!

Katat0nik has out a really cute roller girl outfit, complete with skates for only $100L! I took out my Reek roller rink and some of my favorite girls came out to join me!

+ blacklisted + sent out a subscribo gift to all of it's fangirls...and we couldn't be more delighted! Contained in the (ahem) "festive" box was some green -- a brand spankin' new shirt and the 'Lonely Soldier' lingerie set! Now you can seduce your favorite soldier and/or Irishman. *grins*

You're A Little Bit Country, I'm A Little Bit...Irish?

Yes, we are in the greenest month of the year. Scientific Pumpkin research shows that people wear and eat the most green stuff in the month of March. With that said, *G Field* is only making us want to wear more green clothing by egging us on with it's latest subscribo group gift, a beautiful strapless green dress!

!Lamb also sent out a group gift via subscribo, a hairstyle in two colors (ink & powder) called "The Glow Deux". In the first two pictures, I'm wearing a necklace from Lolapop! that is part of a limited edition set (only 100 will be sold and they're only $50L!) that also comes with a bracelet and earrings (not shown).

In this picture, I'm wearing Lolapop!'s dollarbie that's out now! Be sure to check out the rest of the store, too!

Frugal Fashionista: Clothing Fair on a Budget

Hello mi amorcitas! Yes, that lovely time is upon us once more: Clothing Fair! I know you all want to help raise money for the American Cancer Society by attending! Unfortunately for some, they want to participate but are limited on the Lindens. Not to fear! You can find some really cute stuff that won't make you break the bank! This morning, I went snooping around the eight (YES, EIGHT!!) sims for CF10 and found some cute free gifts and some items that won't leave you hurting for cash.

*Sari's* is an interesting store that has a spot on the New Delhi sim at CF10. Specializing in boho clothing with a strong Eastern flair, I felt like a kid in a candy store, snatching up all of the goodies that owner Sari Telling set out. When one puts on clothing from *Sari's*, you can help but feel like you're one of those people who, without prior warning, dropped out of college and ran off to India to go "find yourself" while bumming around on one of the many gorgeous beaches in Goa.

The skirt & top are $65L each. Aren't they cute? The necklace & bracelets are also available at CF10 and are a staggering $10L a pop. I'm also wearing a bindi from her pack of five bindis for $10L (available at CF10).

At CF10, *Sari's* also has out a cute gift, this Bollywood dress!

The cute dress below is from her RFL vendor (meaning that the proceeds go towards the American Cancer Society!) and it's only $75L.

Finally, I present to you one of Zaara's RFL vendor offerings (which is in the New Delhi sim as well): this cute diamond top in pink for $75L. I love Miss Zaara's clothing, so I didn't even hesitate to snatch it up! :)

So make sure you stop over to Clothing Fair 2010! Get some cute clothes and help keep the hope for a cure alive!

The (Fightin') Irish Pumpkin.

Yep. That certain day where everyone (including you!!!) is supposed to wear green is coming up. What? You don't want to wear green? Let me get my pinchin' fingers ready.

*Leafy has a really cute St. Patty's day skin up for grabs for only $50L! The skin has a sweet face, apple-y cheeks and pretty green eye makeup. It even comes with a freckles option. :)

Blacklace released a nice and naughty surprise, with an Irish twist: some sexy lingerie! Price? Free.

Knockin' Me Out With Those American Thighs

Okay, okay. So I am kinda jamming out to old skool AC/DC as I write this post. It kinda fits, since Dutch Touch, LeLutka, *G Field* AND *pop feel* shook me up with some great presents! These very generous stores have a history of making us feel special, what with their great gifts.

Dutch Touch has some lovely skins and casual apparel. They're also dabbling in lingerie again, yay! If you're in their subscribo group, you probably got this cute lingerie set! If not, join up (but PLEASE do not join then leave right away. That's not cool or fair to the designer who spent time and money to make this gift)!

*G Field* also sent out a great gift to their s-o-m'ers -- this beautiful light green chiffon top! They have other colors for sale (go get 'em!), but this pretty springy green color is awesome!

The skins I'm wearing are the latest group gift from LeLutka and are from the newest line, Ife. The skins come in three tones and hairbases for the corresponding brow colors.

The necklace I'm wearing in all the pics is a new release from Lolapop! To celebrate the new main store opening, everything in the store is 50% off, so this week, the necklace is $63L!

I camped at *pop feel* for either 20 or 25 minutes (can't remember...it's late and I have a headache) for this pretty camisole in one of the phone booths. I love it!

Oh Hai, Pretty Eyes!

Yes, it's me. I decided to make a sporadic appearance! I have a few cute things to show you guys!

First up, I camped out in two phone booths at *pop feel* (15 mins a piece) and was rewarded with this leopard bustier AND then this brown cut-down-to-there blouse that I'm wearing over it. I'm also wearing this pretty necklace from Kunglers that was given out by Modavia for reaching 20,000 members of their subscribo. It's also because Kunglers is now going to have a jewelry line, so they wanted everyone to get a taste of what they're going to have to offer!

I have been on an eye kick as of late. I usually wear Lano Ling's Poetic Colors eyes or KMAD eyes, but I also had a few pairs of Shine eyes in my inventory that I had forgotten about. I know, bad Pumpkin! Anyway, when I tried them on (as I was trying on my new Exile hair -- Lucia -- shown), I decided to go and get some more. Brandy Rasmuson, the tamale-lovin' lady behind Shine, has a real talent for making these pretty, pretty eyes! They're a steal at $50L a pair, but being the generous lady she is, she has some freebies out. The eyes I'm wearing are her Mardi Gras eyes, which are one of the freebies. If you love these, I strongly suggest checking out her other offerings! You won't be disappointed.
