It's always Summer somewhere

If you are like me it just seems too early for Fall, for football and pumpkins and bobbing for apples. Thankfully it's always Summer somewhere, especially in SL, and Flow's excellent boardshorts and retro swim suits from this month's Mens Dept provide a nice excuse to ignore the season and enjoy some SL rays. The boardshorts have a texture-change band and like the swim suits are available with liquid-mesh sizing in a range of colors and at an attractive price.

The avis feature skins by (Red)Sand (previously bogged here) and a recent skin gift from Aeva with shapes by Novus and Shape it Up. Hair is from Alli & Ali, where numerous styles are on sale for 50l through the end of the month.

Modularity

My last post on Four Walls concentrated on some of the rustic items, the grungy even. This time I wanted to feature the more modern gifts - those with clean lines and often modular in concept. Pieces such as Scarlet Creative's shelving units (the gift includes numerous versions that you can mix and match) or Breno's reading nook (part of a future modular series), work perfectly in Circa's "Infinity Cloud" Glass Studio from the hunt, which has cubed rooms off a main living space,  skylights with metallic highlights and panoramic glass windows (Mesh, 29 land impact). Four Walls goes to the end of the month and previews can be seen on the hunt website.

I'm wearing Diego, the new Mesh head from CheerNo, which is on sale at TDR Fusion until Feb 1. In a sense, with these mesh add-ons, be they heads, breasts, hands, feet or other appendages, the avi itself becomes modular, a base to which components can be added or subtracted at will depending on needs. CheerNo's head is interesting and can give a very realistic effect, but the lack of facial expressions can be a drawback. Some new releases shown below include Mens Dept items, a great shirt from HuHu (available with texture change hud) and an outfit from Apple May Designs, which is marking the opening of its new mens store with everything 50% off just this weekend (and a gift or two, gachas and some really impressive deals).

Stash Bashing

Stash Bash is back again with its annual celebration of everyone's favorite herb. Organized by her Royal Hempiness, Hempy Weezles, owner of Ripe & the Lucky Chair Stalkers group, the hunt brings together 18 quality stores with most providing unisex or separate gifts for men & women (join the inworld group for hints & Slurls).

With a hunt this small and some righteous gifts even a slacker like myself can motivate through to the end (Stash Bash runs through May 20th so ya got some time). Of course, strenuous effort like that requires lots of relaxing afterwards, as shown in the photos below.

Rustic Spring Pt. 2

Here are two additional pics of the Designer Prims skybox & decor. See part 1 for more from this great hunt gift. I'll be following this with a final post showing some general views of the build.

The fashion here (CheerNo Tank, Balaclava sweater etc) is partly from a new sale room for men, The Mens Dept. A few months back women had all the fun when it came to dedicated sale rooms with rotating collections, but now men are starting to get spoiled. After Narcissus Room, Mens Select and a few others, The Mens Dept brings a host of top designers and some good deals. Go check out their first collection.

I showed some gifts from the Boystown Easter Hunt in my earlier post and the 2nd pic below has more of the gifts. The hunt ends on the 9th so don't miss out.
