Getaway

The August Mens Dept round is underway, where you can pick up this great vest/shirt combo from Breath, perfect for your more adventurous Summer getaways. My avi features a new skin from Mudskins, also found at Mens Dept, which pairs nicely with a free shape from Curves and Ink's cool Uber hair. Astrid makes a great flight attendant - always calm under pressure despite the in-flight turbulence- and she is showing a version of Lumae's Una skin along with hair from Ploom and a Baholi shape.

Location: Tierra de Fuego

Loaded

Another Mens Dept round drawing to a close and like always there are awesome looks to be had, both for day and night. Great denim from Razor and Aphorism, the latter's "Loaded" outfit includes a little something extra to keep you safe, whatever your line of work, in the big, bad city. Nice casual styles from Etham and Howl - love blogging those - and great accessories from Eudora 3D and Gabriel too. Go check it out!

Cranberry Isle

Nothing like the joys of a weekend getaway. Cranberry Isle, a 30-minute ferry ride from the Maine mid-coast, is known for it's quaint streets and sprawling summer clapboard houses, wooded paths and rugged shore. Bikes are the preferred means of travel here and any old rust bucket with a basket will do. Happily, the days have warmed enough to stash the winter wardrobe, but a sweater or jacket is still required. Visit before the summer people come! 

All clothing from the May round of Mens Department, which ends soon so don't miss it, plus two items from the upcoming Men Only Hunt, one of the year's best events for SL males (will show more from that hunt when it gets underway).

The Valley (Part 2)

I couldn't leave Silver Sea without doing a few more shots (see Part 1 here). Must be the micro-climate there, but a sudden thaw let me break out Deadwool's shirts from Mens Dept and even the morning chill wasn't bad - so much snow melted that my makeshift Christmas tree from Breno fell over (as shown in the last pic). As I started the long hike out, I knew I'd be back in the Spring...

The Valley

Here are some photos done at Silver Sea, a great Sim to escape the Holiday bustle, filled with interesting nooks & crannies. I stuffed my backpack with enough outerwear for an extended stay, again all from Mens Dept, where you still have time before the end of 2013's last round. My avi also features the excellent Xmas gift skin from Belleza, which is actually one of three you can find in Belleza notices (Belleza group joiner fee of 250l). 

  • Sweater: Xiaj -  Hikaru Sweater Nordic S (185l at Mens Dept until Dec 31, mesh)

      Smile, Winter is coming

      I'm more of a Summer guy, but Winter does have its rewards. Bulky sweaters, hot chocolate, bracing walks in the park, long scarves and warming fires... that does sound quite nice, right?

      Here I've been indulging some of these Winter passions on the Onyx Isle sim, which is a sort of snowy wonderland with winding paths, a skating rink complete with hot chocolate stand and some great builds to thaw those winter chills.  

      Clothing and avi from Mens Dept - just a few days left in the November round - as well as some very nice gifts (see last pic).

      Richmond

      Mens Dept started its December round last week and as usual there are tons of great things both for your avi and home. I especially like the Nordic Sweaters from bleak, but the furniture is also outstanding, particularly the Nippon desk set and matching shelf from Kusshon, which includes some cool associated decor items.

      The Frost shopping event also started today. American Bazaar is participating with some very nice new sweaters at a very low price. Go check it out...apparently there are some excellent deals to be had there.   

      The sexy avi I'm showing here is a new release skin from (Red)Sand on a shape from Shape it up! (plus hair from Ink).

      Finally, the build I'm using is the latest Mens Dept skybox from [Deco]. I'll have more shots of the build in a later post.

      Stash Bash - A Few More Tokes

      With the Stash Bash hunt ending today, it was time to fire up my hippie avi and head to the greenhouse to check on my stash. The plants were doing fine, but a little personal quality control was obviously required...or maybe a lot of quality control. I can't really remember. Now if I could only find that hose...

      See my previous post for more gifts from this hunt (hints & slurls are in group notices).

      Circles of Light

      This follows my previous post on Culture Shock (belatedly I know, computer problems kept me offline) with more from Sparrowtree Studios' CS releases as well as some furniture and props you can get at CS. Sparrowtree's sets work with multiple avis (or mannequins), come with great poses and make for some excellent pics.

      The Mens Dept has a new round going until June 1. Like last time, the collection is truly impressive, but one of the stand-outs is definitely the full mesh outfit from Pumpkin. At 99l it is a must buy for that artsy, hipster look. The avi is the same combination I used in my earlier CS post from Akeruka & Kmadd.

      • Complete Outfit: Pumpkin - Outfit Leather M (99L at Mens Dept until June 1, MESH, includes multiple sizes)

      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.

      Off duty

      With the cat guarding the house I was ready to hit the beach. Couldn't find the red Baywatch trunks, so i grabbed my Lazybum speedo and goggles. It was fun watching the waves and girls, but the mosquitoes were a bitch...
