Mini-Squall

At 6:00am it had all the makings of a fine day, the kind you dream about in October, but you never know when you’re offshore. A patch of dark clouds was gathering through the morning haze and we were heading right towards it. Half way to the pots, the wind picked up and the first drops began to fall. Rule No.1: keep your neck warm - so I grabbed my Gabriel sweater. You know, the one that goes right up to my ears. The one I never take off the boat.

By the 20 mile marker, it was a damn mini-squall. The sky darkened again, the rain rolling in like sheets and we went for the foul weather gear. Did I mention the wind, I guess I did. I threw on my Deadwool slicker. Yeah it’s covered in grease from the engines; it’s not a fashion show out there. It keeps my hands free and the rain off my back, that’s what matters! Anyway, we got our pots in though, cause that’s what we do...

Clothing from Mens Dept in this post includes the DeadWool raincoat and Gabriel’s sweater. The skin is from Mens Dept as well so go check out the round (ends Oct 31) - there is awesome stuff there. Also some cool new releases from Fashion Emergency and great grungy jeans that I used throughout the post from American Bazaar.

We Will Rock You!

My recent posts have had a few items from the Men Only Hunt 3, but here is a whole lot more featuring three dudes who just love to rock. There are lots of great gifts in this hunt - the theme is Rock n Roll this time - and hunters will find pretty much everything they need to create that rock look, whatever their preferred era. Great shapes (I'm showing three here, but there are many more), skins, clothing... I had mentioned that the hunt would be epic - well it truly is. Crank the tunes, stock up on the beverages and do the whole hunt - you'll be glad you did. 
I wanna rock and roll all night

Another photo featuring some of the excellent gifts from the Nest's Easter Egg hunt (see Pt. 1 here). I may overdose on cuteness soon, but these items are really hard to resist - especially Cheaky Pea's over-sized Mr. Whiskers tea set (includes cups in a range of colors) and the decorative wall plates from Cleo Design (there is an additional set not shown).

I have a few more photos in the works with more decor and this great shape from Entropy (on sale at Mens Dept), but for now, in the words of the immortal BB, That's All Folks...

Richmond (Part. 2)

Another round in the Richmond skybox from [Deco] available at Mens Dept this month (see part. 1 here), this time featuring an excellent new pool table from End of Daze among other things. And since billiards are best played à deux, some charming company was clearly in order. Of course, after breaking in the table, the evening progressed to other games...

Note that the female fashions are partly from the Golden Apple Hunt, which is a nice little hunt on the NYC sim with 12 pretty amazing gifts at a small price (ends Dec 24). Since this is a long post (after a long evening), I'll save some general views of the build/decor for a final wrap-up.

Baffled Pt.2

Here are a few more pics with the build I used in my last post from Baffle (see Pt. 1 here). The store is now closed, but I hope some of you got to check it out and found some nice things at the closing sale.

I've used quite a lot of decor items in this post, some from the Antique Grid Show Hunt (see my previous post for more) - an easy hunt to do with some very nice gifts. I also want to thank Plato Novo of %Percent for lending me her newish enamel cabinets (the set has been released over the last few months). These would undoubtedly look great in lots of builds, both retro and modern.

Outtakes

Here are a few scenes inspired by the Cinema event that runs through Oct. 31. If you haven't been you must go check it out. The event takes place in a giant Multiplex replica with movie clips playing in various themed areas (such as Sci Fi, Adult films, Action/Adventure, etc). It is really quite fun and there is some great shopping as well, featuring many of SL's best creators.
