The Valley

Here are some photos done at Silver Sea, a great Sim to escape the Holiday bustle, filled with interesting nooks & crannies.

Hints & Slurls for hunts mentioned in this post: Make Him Over 7 - Moolto Sisters Hunt - The Accessory Hunt -The Silk Road 3 Hunt

Decked Out

Here are a few more items from MOH (ends soon, see my previous coverage here and here), including this great mesh shirt from Anymore. The 2nd set of pics shows a preview of 22769's excellent outfit from the June round of The Mens Dept. The shirt/tee & shorts are both in MESH, available in various colors and will look great all Summer long. Plus they are offered at a very attractive price.

The skin here is the latest group gift from Filthy. Unlike most of the major skin makers (I won't name them, but you know who they are), Filthy comes out with new male/female skin gifts like clockwork on the first of every month and they are always great. I have blogged many of them. But the best news is that the Filthy group is free to join until tonight (ends June 8). So save yourself the usual 200l join fee and go get Filthy.
