Chubasco

You need to be prepared when you work on a boat because the weather can change fast. 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 go out. A patch of dark clouds was gathering through the morning haze and we were heading right towards it... 

(Clothing from the October Mens Dept and new releases from Fashion Emergency and American Bazaar.)

• Jacket: Fashion Emergency - Navy Jacket M (New Release, MESH)
• Pose: HisPose - HisChopper 3 (Not Free)

• Sweater: Gabriel - High-necked sweater/Black (M) (180l at Mens Dept until Oct 31, MESH)

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!

Forgotten Angel

I wanted to feature the new wings/poses from HISPose, one of the best makers specialized in props/poses for men (or angels), and Forgotten City seemed like the right place for that.  What would an angel do in a forgotten city, built over centuries and then abandoned?

The A:S:S kilt & belt is an Avenue Magazine Readers gift found at Zenshi, and the pants are one of the gifts from (Red)Sand for the Hollywood event. If you haven't been to Hollywood go there before it ends on the 14th - you will be opening "swagbags" from all the participants for days.

Dream Boss

A short post for you guys today with some gifts you can go grab. The cool T-shirt is from JLB and is a gift for Avenue Magazine Readers (copy this into your viewer to join: secondlife:///app/group/c3e0ee4b-7058-3c9b-bb98-f0f2043d71fe/about). The couch (which I previously blogged here) from End of Daze is now a gift down at the Energy Club, where you can find a ton of good gifts for men & women to mark the club's 3rd anniversary.

The skin here is a recent group gift from LaVie (unfortunately no longer available). However, LaVie has just announced a Sim-wide Easter egg hunt with gifts from the top designers present on their new  urban style shopping area. I haven't had time to do the hunt, but I'm told there are skin gifts for men & women, hair, N-Core shoes etc, although all the gifts may not be out yet. Nice to see LaVie back and bustling - see the pic below for the stores in this hunt.

Warehoused

Just another reminder post for the end of the month. The October Mens Dept round ends tomorrow, along with a bunch of October Hunts. Like every month there are some good deals to be had so stop by if you can.

Meanwhile, I've got my private stock of candy and have barricaded myself in a deserted warehouse where no trick-or-treaters can get to me. Best wishes to all the ghouls and goblins out there.
