I’m Da BOM.(Free BOM skins).

“If it isn’t broke then don’t fix it” which is one of the reasons I’ve not gone mad on BOM skin or even bothered to try to remember how you use it. I just stick to my beloved SLink/Pumec look and change only the make up.

However looking at these 2 gorgeous BOM skins from LAQ I think it’s about time I had a refresher course on how to use BOM as that pale ginger freckled one is just perfect.

I used to wear nothing but a LAQ skin, then I moved on to Essense and finally, for several years it’s been Pumec and it’s not going to change soon.

LAQ is a free group and because I can’t show you wearing one of these skins I simply took this shot of them on the wall so it should be easy for you to spot them.

PS. Both skins come as a fatpack of shades.

Not such a wash out. (Freebies & Dollarbie(?)).

Till I found this my SL had been as big a washout as my RL weather has been so far, very wet, dull and cold.

Now I’ve found something I really think is going to be a winner I’m doing a quick post, logging off and having some porridge/oatmeal and when I log back in I will try it on…..Nah who am I kidding! I’ll just be heading off to hunt down the next freebie/gift lol.

Till then I will leave you with this.

For all of us who grabbed the Free Genus head here is a Free Genus skin to compliment it.

The Altice Group is FREE to join and this is either a Dollarbie or Freebie, I forgot to take note if the Linden I had to pay was returned but since on my return visit to LM grab I spotted a smaller poster right next to this, you can just about make it out the bottom right of this picture, and if you click and pay 1Ld you get a body shape and that 1Ld wasn’t returned so assume this is a Dollarbies as well.

BTW there are Group Gifts nearby and they’re mainly make-up.

Altice.

Mondays are never any good! (Good Vibes Hunt & Mention of Freebie).

It’s not much fun waking up a sweaty lump after a hot stifling night.

Since I decided I should try out BOM skins I figured that this offer from WOW Skins was a perfect way of getting a super bargain priced skin and so I went hunting for either number 1, 2 or 3.  After a while, it dawned on me that I’m an idiot as of course, this hunt is not shop based but sim based! So I’m going to give you the link to both the Good Vibes Blog page which although is a Facebook link you don’t have to have a Facebook account to look at the details.  Also the link to the actual sim where you hunt for the stars.

It wasn’t a total waste of time because in the WOW shop on the entrance wall to your left is a FREE “Stay at home club” gift of a free BOM skin.  It looks really pretty but for me personally, I can’t show you it as it’s not compatible with my older Lelutka mesh head.

Skin for all. (Free Skins).

If this notice had come out on the 1st April I would have thought it was a joke but it’s not a joke as Essences do have FREE skin out for us.

Sorry,I forgot to remove my make up but under the lippy and eye shadow I think the skin is nice and plain so you can layer on the make-up and create whole new looks from the same skin.  I’m wearing the Lelutka skin and you get a full pack of colours from deathly pale to I’m assuming very dark skin and 3 options for the brow.

There is also a Catwa skin AND A Genus one which is just great for all of us who have grabbed that free Genus head.

You do only get the head applier but if you can’t get your body hud to give you a good match then, of course, you could buy the body applyier..or wear a high neck outfit lol.

There are 2 Essence Groups and the VIP one does cost 200Ld but the other Group is FREE and it’s this free group which you can join to get the gifts.  The Group invites are on the wall to the left of the desk and the 3 free skins are on the right of the desk…easy to see when you get there.

Need I remind you? (Freebies@Shiny Shabby).

I don’t know when the Shiny Shabby event shuts it’s doors but I’m going to assume the clock is clicking down so GO NOW!

Last time I visited this event the lag was Hellish but I’d managed to grab this dress and so you have seen it before but now this event has calmed down I’ve had a lovely time wandering around and grabbing a lot of quality freebies.

The dress, bag and nails make for a great look BUT do I look different?  I’m wearing one of the Free 7 Deadly S(k)ins skin.  They come in an Omega hud which I think most of us have and you get the whole lot, head, body hands and feet.

The dress is a Valentina E one and the bag is from Hervae but as for the nails I forgot and of course the skin is a 7 Deadly S(K)ins.

Shiny Shabby.

Info Only. 300Ld Gift Card.

I’ve worn the same skin for YEARS now, PumeC’s Agatha, and I know that when it comes to skins you have no choice but to pay good lindens for it so a FREE 300Ld Gift card from 7 Deadly Skins will go along way to help you.

The place is heaving and this offer is for a very limited time so hop on in, grab it and then return later when it’s calmed down.

PS. Group is free to join but this too I believe is for a limited time.

7 Deadly Skins.

Poseurs Heaven.(Free Skin & Free Photostudio’s).

Stalking Pays.  I was, innocently, checking someones profile where a group they were a member of grabbed my attention so I joined and TPed and OMG I’m in FREAKING HEAVEN!

BE STILL MY BEATING HEART!

So many top quality props, backdrops, room and even skyboxes all FREE for us to use.

You can see the purple TP in front of me and using that it will take you to a total of 9(?) platforms and I think there is a LM for a cave system but I’ve only checked out 2 platforms so far and I cannot wait till I log back in as from just the 2 platforms I can see she has used some of the best backdrops in SL.

Not only do you get some of the top backdrops in SL you even get rezzing rights! Obviously, you do have to join the group but that’s free.

But don’t worry if you don’t have many poses as a lot of the backdrops such as this one come with poses.

I literally took dozens of pictures even just of the 2 platforms I’ve check out, in the end, it was just so hard which backdrops to show you so I’ve kept it to just these 4 pictures but there is everything from a Romeo & Juliet balcony, abstract arty farty backdrops and again I cannot wait to see what else there is but I know I won’t be disappointed.

I was going to be selfish and keep this all to myself but then I decided not to be such a meanie as I know that some of you will really love to have access to a place where you can take some pictures you will be proud of even if you’re a point and snap sort of photographer.

REMEMBER, to keep you snapping and the costs down if you save your pictures to “disk” it means it’s saved to your computer and it’s FREE. So you can snap away inworld check them out on your computer, just save them to a folder,  and pick the ones you like best and it’s only then if you want to upload them inworld that you have to pay the 10Lds.

So who is the damned generous person who has gone to a great expense? Her name is Anne Maertens (annealyce.maertens) and I know that name and I know her shop which is called Dulce Secrets. The reason I know her shop is that when I was first dipping my system toes into blogging she had the same sort of set up but since I gradually started to buy my own backdrops or use my sim/home I stopped going.  So to find that not only is her free studio is still up and running but it’s grown so much bigger and of course now there is a lot of creators making the backdrops was just a total Woo Hoo.

Naturally, I will be checking out her inworld shop and I’ve put the LM for you as well.

PS I even like the tag over your head which says “photographer at work” and I think I might use that when taking pictures even not using this one and I think in future as a small thanks, when I use one of her backdrops I will add the LM for people to check it out.

UPDATE.  I found not just the caves but also FREE SKIN and although you get the one shade, very pale, you do get it for all the main mesh bods and face/body included.  I’m not doing a close up because I won’t be keeping it as I am positively glued into my PumeC Agatha skin but it’s hard to find a free skin which comes with head and body.

I will be keeping the subscriber gift though as it’s a lovely young blush and suits both this free skin and my preferred PumeC skin.
