Get Off My Lawn, Sassenach!

Annthrasite channels Braveheart in the
Folklorica group gift for Real Men.

Don't mess with the redheads! Especially when they're in drag. Folklorica's new group gift is this fab MacKenzie clan kilt ensemble (as well as a steampunk leather kilt with armor and, Oh! the mixing and matching!).

Stay off Annthrasite's lawn! Important safety tip.

[Best part of this for me is that I'm related to MacKenzies by my aunt's marriage. Go, MacKenzieeeees!]

Pose: Hero pose from Lludmila's Marketplace shop. Free!

Getting in the Spirit

It's after Thanksgiving, so we can start with the red and the green. Coming up at the Fashion Wardrobe starting December 1, d.l.s. has mostly some furniture for 50L (except the triple fireplace and the sleigh bed at 100L).

as well as the option of putting in your own texture.

December Advent-ure

Apple Advent at United Inshcon.

It's that time of year again! And the really juicy Advent gifts are often the first ones, so head on over to United Inshcon's Christmas Market to find the apple with the 1 on it and get your gift. Annthrasite hasn't had time to open hers yet. It said something about a jealous elf ... she thinks. Her typist had to get back to work, so you'll just have to look up the landmark for yourself and be delightfully surprised. All the apples are out, scattered around the Market, but only open on their day.

Christmas bauble at Sway's. Very small!!!

Then there is the insanely difficult advent hunt at Sway's. I say "insanely difficult" - mostly because the sim was so full, things were rezzing very, very slowly. But it was very pretty. You have to find the ornaments that are scattered all over the sim on ground level (phew!), click on them and get the password for the gift under the tree - on its day.

An easier advent is at Skye Qi's Vintage Apparel. You show up on the day, click on the bag, and you get, if it's anything like previous years, a piece of an outfit. Usually you can buy any pieces you've missed because you spaced that day or your internet was out or you crashed so much you gave up, like Annthrasite did this afternoon. Three crashes and she quits and goes back to work, so you don't see the gifts therein. Just take a chance. They're free, fercryinoutloud.

Update: Just saw in the email that the Lamu Group is doing an Advent gift as well. They're also participating in the Peace On Earth 7 Hunt.

If I have time later, I will add the slurls for:

Now, I'm not gonna do this every day. You're on your own now. Let Annthrasite or Lludmilla Mirrikh know if there are other Advent gifts somewhere and we'll report on new ones.
