Unslutty at Ho Wear

Fabulous gown and hair from Ho Wear.

More great purple.

Outrageously fabulous kimono.

We thought we'd joined the Ho Wear group back in October when we were blown away by the freebies.  Then we never heard anything.  So we went back to check - and they've put out 21 gifts for Christmas!  OMG!  The outfits range from sexy to goth to goth sexy to normal to costume ... some that come with skin, shape, eyes - pretty much everything except footwear.  The kimono is the only gift that came with shoes, in the form of geta.
The presents aren't hidden or small - but they are all over the shop and its extensions.  There is something there for everyone, even those of us who stick with unslutty!

Free prison garb, dirty hands, guitar.

While visiting one sim for a freebie, Kathy ran across a raft of them.  There's a freebie shop there with a wide selection of freebies offered (as well as a box for cowering in the event of a sim crash).  It's always worth wandering around a shop or a sim because you never know what gems you will find.

A bit of Whimsy.

 Also in the same sim was a hat shop called Whimsy with the most elaborate toppers.  There is also a free Thanksgiving themed headband.

And if you see a tip jar/hat about ...

Try to show your appreciation for any bargains or freebies you find.  Shop owners: be sure to put out a tip jar.  Kathy remembers being poor and homeless and appreciates all the freebies she's collected over the years.  Now that she has the stipend, she likes to show her gratitude.

BlakOpal Hers 'n' His.

 BlakOpal has new freebies for men and women. There are several ways of wearing the outfits, but they all involve those wide stripes.  The ladies' outfit has a miniskirt option. (Boots and hat not included.)

We're big followers of the Virtual Vagabond blog, which I highly recommend, and while hounding another freebie off the Marketplace, we often take the time to see what else is in the online version of a given store.  So, while we went to SZYM Motors to pick up this free car (that looks like one of the original Volkswagens) ...

... we found this perfect accessory for nighttime marauding - for free!

Okay, okay, I'm getting side-tracked by non-wearables and this blog is nominally about fashion.  I'll continue with the vehicular fun at my other blog: Virtually Happy.

What's that strange buzzing sound?

Once sucked into the vortex that is the Marketplace, we start noodling around for more freebies and that's how we found this amazing Dragonfly avatar at Avalon.  Although not "actual size" it is small.  It was a big hit at the last dance Lludmila attended.  Good gravy, you'd think she showed up nude or something.  Of course, it did take a while for the av to be seen.  It flies, it hovers, it flaps its wings, and it will buzz if you want it to.

Putting the Reasonable Back ...

Cigarette Girl

Bride o' Frankie

Hoplite

The next best thing to free is cheap.  Bless their souls at Reasonable Desires, they've put all their costumes on 50% off!!!  The costumes are non-copy, but transferable, so Lludmila was able to buy something skimpy for Cal (the Hoplite costume) as well as the cigarette girl (Shoes from Baby Monkey, but there is a Ztique shop there) and the bride of Frankenstein for herself and Kathy.  The BOF was only 99L!  Kathy poses without the rest of the gown so you can see the wrappings.
Stock up on Burlesque costumes, the bubble stripper, the Gigolo, and, Cal's favorite, Robbie the Robot!

"I have two diamonds I have manufactured - one could go right here."

Prison Chic

It's not all unicorns and rose petals: Lludmila & Cal in stir.

The fun at this place is just criminal!  You get a free prison uniform and you can have your mugshot taken and a large selection of poses in the cells.  And there's more there:

Okay, there are some unicorns.

Stop by and pose for some photos.  I only wish we had more time (but I had to work this weekend).  Fairy Dress was the latest hunt prize at Paris Metro.  There are more poses with the unicorn (I think the "rescue" one is hilarious).  A person could waste hours here ... I mean, more than you'd normally waste inworld.
