Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Free Christmas Outfits from the MIIX Shopping Event!

Did you know that you can help support my work on this blog? Here’s how.

If you are looking for some fun Christmas outfits, the December round of the monthly MIIX shopping event has you covered, for free! Every month, MIIX has a free hunt, where you look for an object hidden among all the vendor booths.

This time around, you are looking for well-hidden Christmas stockings! Here’s the hunt key, so you know what you are looking for:

The gifts consist of men’s and women’s apparel and footwear by FurtaCor, unisex resizable hats, and even a couple of pieces of home decor! The men’s outfit consists of a Christmas cardigan and tie (in blue or green) dress pants (in red or black), and a nice pair of black oxford shoes:

Here’s one of the women’s outfits you can assemble from the MIIX hunt prizes, which include the Santa hat with blinking Christmas lights, the red lace choker, and even Rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer earrings!

Here’s a second look in green, complete with a knitted elf hat!

If you need a little help finding the stockings at the MIIX hunt, you might want to refer to my Top Six Tips for Successful Hunts in Second Life. Even if you are an experienced hunter, you still might learn a handy trick or two!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: The MIIX Tequila Hunt

Time to snatch up some completely free bedroom wear for both men and women!

The monthly MIIX shopping event always has a free hunt of items made by FurtaCor (you do need to join the Hype Events News and Offers group for free to pick up these prizes). This time around, in the Tequila Hunt, you are looking for doughnuts hidden all around the event. Look up and down, hunt all over, check all the vendor booths!

Here’s what some of the female prizes look like in the Tequila Hunt. The lacy lingerie and the bathrobe are separate hunt prizes, which come in four colours each: red, blue, purple, and black. The women’s slippers come in versions for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink mesh feet, in pink, red, white, and black.

The lingerie and robe come in sizes to fit the following brands of female mesh bodies: Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Slink Hourglass, and Classic/TMP by Meshbody. Of course, the Kalhene Anya and Lucybody Atenea mesh bodies are 99% Maitreya Lara-compatible, so this outfit will work on them as well (wear the Maitreya slippers with Anya and the Slink ones with Atenea). And if you have a free or paid-for Altamura mesh body, you will be very pleased to know that, despite the panties not fitting perfectly at the back, the robe covers that area completely, so yes, you can wear this outfit with an Altamura body, too!

Here’s what a few of the men’s hunt prizes look like. The towel and coffee mug both come with Bento poses (I tested them on a female avatar, but they appear to be sized for male avatars). The “kisses” boxer shorts come in five colours: white, black, blue, red and turquoise. The male slippers are unrigged, and come in two versions: white and black as shown, or red and green. (There’s also a system/Bakes on Mesh tattoo if you want red lipstick kisses all over your body, too 😉 )

The boxer shorts come in sizes to fit the following popular brands of male mesh bodies: Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni, Signature Geralt, Slink, and the Meshbody Legacy body.

Here’s your taxi to the MIIX Event. Happy freebie hunting!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: The Cruel Summer Hunt

It’s a cruel, (cruel), cruel summer
(Leaving me) leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel), cruel summer
Now you’re gone…

—Bananarama, Cruel Summer (1984)

I turned sixteen years old in 1980, and I am so totally a child of the Eighties!

There’s a retro, 1980s-themed hunt taking place from now until June 14th, 2020, called the Cruel Summer Hunt. You are searching for neon Rubik’s Cubes hidden away in various parts of downtown Miami. Here are the hunt keys from the participating stores, so you know what you’ll get before you buy each item. Prizes range in price from free up to L$50 each.

Here are three of the hunt prizes, all from FurtaCor: this fun yellow top, the high-waisted red shorts, and the rollerskates (which come with an applier HUD for the socks and sleeves) were all only L$25 each!

The roller skates have a built-in skating animation, but I found that it was a low-priority animation, which meant that the walks on my regular AO quickly overrode it. Other than that, it’s a cute, retro outfit with a definite Eighties vibe!

So head on down to the Cruel Summer Hunt before it ends June 14th!
