Poor DrFran is suffering from horrible writer’s block, so I
am taking over her position for a while. Although she is quite inactive, I have been all over the grid, because
October is my favorite month. After all, it’s the month of Halloween—time for
ghouls and ghosts, and DrFran’s favorite: bats.
Join me for a look at some of the mostly free (no more than
one Linden) items available, as well as a look at two of the scary sims featured
on the Destination Guide for horror month.
An Entire Look,
Entirely Free
For October there are gifts and hunts galore. It’s always
easiest to find clothing, but I worked especially hard to find skin and hair
that were free. So this first batch of photos is a look that can be had for no
Lindens!
Photo 1: Taken at Havenhollow. This build was in world last
Halloween, and provided days of fun. Not only is the build an accurate
recreation of a small town in the Fall, but it’s also a place where you can go
Trick or Treating! Grab a bucket and go, or just hangout out in the
neighborhood playground. It’s fun and unpredictable.

is wearing:
Skin: Lumae Evie
– Lady Death - October Group Gift (free to join). What a great skin for the
season. Half ghoulish/half gorgeous; it makes a perfect base for your Halloween
costumes. Hair: *Milk* http://maps.secondlife.com/ secondlife/Pink%20Ambition/ 151/133/6 Chatterbox – *Milk* has morphed into
*SOONSIKI* Hair, but if you go and join the new group (free), you can get this
hair that is long and flowy, but has an added bonus. The hair comes with a
whopping ten HUDs that will change the color of the hair to almost any shade
you might want. I chose dirty blond, but you have almost one hundred colors
from which to choose.
Shoes: Lindy’s
New and Retro Shoes Odea Boots. I love the texture on these boots that are free
in the Into the Darkness Hunt.
Dress: This
slinky dress that comes with guns and hip holsters is from the 007 James Bond
Hunt, and it’s by MishMash Fusion. There is also a man’s suit in the prize. (http://maps.secondlife.com/ secondlife/Bougainvillea/197/ 215/3001
)
Jewelry: Lazuri
Touch of Stone Fuschia Necklace and Earrings. Lazuri makes great jewelry, and
these items are available free in their main store. (http://maps.secondlife.com/ secondlife/5th%20Avenue/119/ 120/22
)
Stockings: Free

Not Free, But Almost
The second batch of goodies were photographed on Nightmare
at the Park (http://maps.secondlife.com/ secondlife/Rowdy/153/122/22
). Grab a flashlight, and explore the house on the hill.
Outfit: Miss
Mischief Halloween Gift for the Heebie Jeebie Hunt. (one Linden)
Jewelry: Lazuri
Color-change Pearl Drop Earrings and Beads. I love color change items, because
they can be worn with so many diferent outfits.
Booties: Lindy’s
Aiden Boots from the 007 James Bond Hunt
Do You Need Halloween
Decorations?
I want to share with you one more hunt, because the prizes
are all free, and are of very high quality. The Malice in Wonderland Hunt is a winner for a few reasons. First, it
is a pretty easy hunt. There are only ten prizes (multiples in some boxes), and
they are in one store, and not too difficult to find. You are looking for ten
brains, zombie fans, and they are filled with entire trees and grasses, and a
spooky house, and great fog, that DrFran is using at a Halloween party, if she
ever gets moving again. Check out the photo to get an idea of the quality of
the prizes.
Happy Halloween
It’s up to you to take advantage of all the special love
that happens at this time of year. Let the holidays begin!
