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).

 Avi
  • Skin: Hermony - KYU ST2 (Available at Mens Dept until May 31)
  • Shape: Mulholland - Celebrity Male (Not Free, previously blogged here)
  • Hair: Ink - Totes Brown (Available at Mens Dept until May 31, mesh)

Clothing & Accessories

Autumn Posing

I wanted to feature Aeva's Elijah skin from my previous post again, this time with some more seasonal looks as I leave Summer behind. It's tough finding good skin gifts for men, so don't miss this one, particularly as it includes all skin tones. Also, if you like the skin, the official release version (i.e. without beard) is now out in the store.

The clothing includes some more Mens Dept items from the September round ending today or tomorrow (never sure exactly...lol). I particularly like the Nerd Project sweater and the Love Re Me shoes in this round, but there are lots of other interesting items. Also shown below are a nice hunt gift from American Bazaar and a newish release from HuHu. The poses are from new model sets from HISPose and Saal Body.

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.

Goodbye to Summer

Angel Forgotten

I rarely have time to explore SL's great Sim designs, but Forgotten City, with its monumental structures, strange machines and misty cobblestone streets, set amidst the ruins of an earlier metropolis, is one that will fire your imagination. You wouldn't be surprised in a place like this if angels surveyed the streets, forgotten in time and place like the city they inhabit. Bring your camera when you go...    

The wings & first three poses shown are a new release from HISPose, one of the best makers specialized in props/poses for men (or angels). The wings are color change and there are actually 6 poses in the set at the very reasonable price of just 100l. The avi is a new Ginger version of (Red)Sand's Huntsmen skin, that I previously blogged here. There are some gifts shown as well (grab them while you have the chance) and some items from the latest Mens Dept round (ends April 30), as well as cool new boots from Energie that will be released for MensWear Fashion Week on April 19.

Ready to Vacation

This is just a quickie post I threw together in between packing since I'm about to leave for winter break somewhere in the real world. The post features a newish release jacket from HuHu available in a host of colors (or a texture change version with hud) and hair from Mr. C, a new hair store with some interesting styles for men & women. This is the male group gift and there is also a subscriber & group gift for women (30l join fee)

The luggage and other items are from Cleo Design. I just recently blogged part of their gift from the Four Walls hunt, but this is another great set with a ton of luggage pieces and assorted travel necessities that you can get free at Designer Warehouse along with a range of other gifts until February 7 (items posted here). See you in a few weeks...

Air

Dirty Little Secret has an excellent gift in the Something Old, Something New Hunt: a fully furnished, multi-level build called Air. Like its name, the house emphasizes the flow of light and air, with the use of skylight ceilings, glass walls, exterior staircases, multiple patio areas and draped fabrics. Air also features a water surround with trees, built-in wall storage in the bedroom/bathroom and the furniture is available as separates, so you can keep what you want (or use it in other builds). I've added some pieces from End of Daze that work well in the space. 

Tash Porthos of Dirty Little Secret is also celebrating the anniversary of her store with a ton of group gifts and the DLS group is free to join until the end of the month. Join her group for her latest Mesh gifts (and stay in it because Tash is always generous).

Some of the clothing here is from the November Mens Dept (ends Dec 1), including a new release blazer from American Bazaar available with different tee combinations. Finally, the skin/shape I've used here is a new group gift from Aeva/Heartsick.

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.
