A bittersweet freebie

If you've come into SL in the past year, you may or may not have heard about Ginny Talamasca. Ginny was an incredible designer and one of the owners of Last Call - a wonderful haute couture fashion house. Ginny died in RL last October, and the fashion industry grieved. Her partner (his partner, actually, because Ginny was a man in RL), Katterina Dagostino kept Last Call open for a few months after Ginny's death, but ultimately, it had to close so that we could all move on. If you google Ginny Talamasca, you will find all kinds of blog posts, but truly, one of the greatest design talents in SL died that day.

Since one cannot grieve forever, Katt has created a partnership with Danner Dosei, and together they have open Archange. Since I hadn't kept up with the blog for months, I hadn't been aware of this partnership until today, when I found that Archange is giving a freebie. I teleported to the location....and landed on the Dazzle sim, where Last Call had formerly existed - in fact, it's the same building.

I experienced several painful moments as I stood there in the doorway and realized what I was seeing. The store is stocked but not fully, but the clothing was very reminiscent of Ginny's style. The dollarbie (on the stairs), is a beautiful gown called Christine, and very much in Ginny fashion with the same beautiful textures and detailing that we had previously enjoyed. You'll definitely want to get this one, but note that it is a group gift.

I have to say that I'm delighted to see Katt and Danner move forward, and wish them the best of success.

Happy Saturday Freebies!

I, for one, am dancing cuz it's not Halloween anymore! Of course, that means we're on a direct path to Christmas, and the SL and RL population will have me burned out on that in about 10 days. Ah well :)

So, let's see what I can find this morning...

Kelli, the owner of Elate! is having a RL birthday today, so she gave us a present! There are several here, actually. Two different tank tops (Obama and McCain), a box of tops and shorts, and a cute yellow babydoll dress. These are dollarbies. The dress is hanging on the left wall at the rear of the store and the others are in the middle on a table.

Vanda of Luxurious World had a birthday yesterday and again, we got the present! Pick up your free unisex sweater today!

Happy birthday to you two ladies!

Free skins at Splashing Doll, plus some nice discounted ones.

Ivalde has a very cute "Bat Dress" out...you could almost pass this off at any time of the year! This is a group gift.

There are three free gifts at Slag, one of which is a free belt - the other two...don't know until I get home and open them! There's some really nice jewelry here, I'll have to come back and visit when I have more time :)

Talon Faire offers several freebies. First, she's in the Gridwide Hunt going on this weekend, and there are two pumpkins with nice gifts. Then, she has a dollarbie "Wisteria Crown".

OK, that's all I have time for this morning. Don't forget the Grid Wide Pumpkin Hunt is going on, and you can actually start it at Talon Faire, and pick up from there. Good luck and have a great day!

Happy Halloween Freebies!

I almost didn't list this one, because it's pretty tricky to find, but it's worth it - SINH has several free dresses and gift boxes out. There are probably...7? 8? dresses. When you land, walk straight into the store, go to your left and find the stairs. Watch the red highlight arrow. There are two tables on the second floor. I haven't opened them, but the pictures on the wall looked good :)

Forever Liliana has a very cute Glittering Web Gown for 0L. If you haven't gotten them before, she has other freebies and dollarbies just to the right of that outfit.

Wildheart Creations will give you a free pair of gray ankle boots, just for landing at the store! Of course, the owner would greatly appreciate it if you looked around while you were there ;)

Donna Flora has put a couple of new gifts out for us. I met Squinternet (the creator) the other night at a show I was in...nice lady.

Here is the "gift 2" found at Donna Flora:

OK, and finally, I'm participating in a Grid Wide Pumpkin Hunt. This is a chain style hunt where you go to one location, find the pumpkin(s), and inside you'll find the landmark to the next location. You can start anywhere, so why not start at the Mall? Hint: You'll find two pumpkins at the Mall!

Have a great Halloween (and Friday...woohoo!)

Hey all you freebhunters! I have a few freebies today.

At JILL there are several free items. Bracelets, a brown argyle dress with matching leg warmers and stockings. This store has several cute items and all the items in the store are very reasonably priced!

At Merche there is a cute ladies suit fore free. Check it out

And at ALB Dream Fashion there is a beautiful gown called Fire bird, and rightfully so because this dress totally resembles that. It can be worn in so many ways and just to show you that, here is a photo!

Freebies will be up tonight....

A handful of them anyway.

A few of you mentioned it would be nice to see a flickr group. I'm the first to admit that I was a photobucket user until recently, and honestly don't know that much about flickr. So, how would a flickr group work? Can someone tell me? Is it posting pictures only? Or more to it than that?

Wow....You did it!!

We're #1!! (Well, for today...lol)

I've got a fashion show tonight, and have been busy with rehearsals the past two days. I'll try to get a few freebies up for you tonight, but at the latest tomorrow.

Thanks all, you've been wonderful!

Well, I'm pretty sad

My stats say that I have a consistent 44 readers a day....and I've given away a lot more than 44 outfits. I'm sad to say that I won't be making this offer again :(

ok....your turn!

Yesterday, I gave you all a gift...today, it's your turn - PLEASE vote! The higher VF ranks, the more people will see it! It was at number 4 one day...with just a little help from you, it could be #1 for a day!

Just click the little blue button to the right, click the green button, and then visit a blog listed LOWER than VF.

Thanks! :)

And an alert!

Grand opening of The Shops at Crush Row...lots of freebies and dollarbies to be found from some big name designers! As always, please be sure to check out their stores and perhaps buy something too ;)

Gift for the readership :)

I've been thinking of what I can do for you all to thank you for your readership, and what I've come up with is this:

Go to The Mall at Cherry Park, which I own. If you're a girl, go to the PixelDolls store, and if you're a guy, go to Honey's for Men. Pick out one PixelDoll item, write it on a notecard with your name, and drop it into my profile. I'll deliver the outfit to you. Or, if you wish, you can pick out one of my windchimes, which hang across from the men's store. This offer is only good through 8AM Monday morning.

Thanks for reading!

Sunday Freebies!

Good morning! Had an insanely busy Saturday, and Sunday is shaping up to be the same! I've got only a couple for you this morning.

Chantkare offers two dollarbie outfits, both in shopping bags when you land. They're described as "ridiculously cute outfits -- black skirt w/ matching bra, and brown leggings with matching bra".

Rha! gives us free lime green plaid ankle boots! They're cute!

And finally, Galeria Fashions offers a free "Beyonce" dress, which is very sexy.
