Oh Deer

After my recent foray into the cold and snow, nothing better than to be back around a warm fire.

Note the great jacket, which is a gift you can pick up over at (Red)Sand. Also a cool hat from Laney's, free for the SL Frees group, but you better hurry because apparently it won't be around much longer.

Jazz Diva

The Singer Icon fair is a nice little event that ends tomorrow. While visiting the event, I got to thinking of some of the great jazz vocalists who were true icons back in their day.

I've tried to create a Jazz diva feeling with ArisAris's new exuberant dress and BSD Design Studio's surreal abstract shoes from Shoetopia. My look is completed with a new shape from Baholi (all of Baholi's shapes are divas!) plus the latest gift skin from Deeesses and hair from Ploom.

Also featuring my very stylish pianist modeling some cool menswear.

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.)

To the pots
Half way to the pots, the wind picked up and the first drops began to fall. Rule No.1: keep your neck dry - so I grabbed my Gabriel sweater. The one that keeps my ears warm and the wind out my face. It never leaves the boat...
The Wind Rises

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...
Mini-Squall at the Marker
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! 

Rain

Back On Land
I was happy to be dockside again and back in my FE jacket. Squall or no squall we got our pots in cause that's what we do...

Goodbye to Summer

It's always Summer somewhere, especially in SL, and Flow's excellent boardshorts and retro swim suits from this month's Mens Dept (ending today) 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.

Little Warehouse

A little bit of male fashion for you guys in between all the beautiful ladies you see every day on the site. The fashion is mostly from this month's Mens Dept round, which ends tonight I guess. If you haven't been yet go check it out for some nice deals and new releases for men (plus unisex stuff and furniture) before the July round rolls in.

If you are interested in the furniture here, the photos are from a series of decor focused posts I did earlier for my site. There are some great items shown from a variety of makers including End of Daze and %Percent. Check my earlier posts here and here for more on the furniture and build including full credits and slurls.

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 wings are color change and there are actually 6 poses in the set at the very reasonable price of just 100l. 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.

Pin-Ups

Two cute looks again with Kusshon's It's a Man's World Screen, available at Mens Dept through today (after in store), which makes a nice vintage decor item and was fun to use as a backdrop for some retro style photos. See my earlier post here for decor credits.

Lots of events ending today or this weekend such as The Arcade, Skin Fair, Whore Couture, Mens Dept and various hunts. If you have a minute pop over and check them out. Happy Easter everyone!

The Lodge

The post features Scarlet Creative's Noelle Chalet, which is a lovely small build with an interesting mix of raw wood, exposed beams and glass available at a great price (50l unfurnished, 199l furnished). Beautifully furnished with a modern twist, the house was intended as a rustic mountain getaway and looks great surrounded by snow, but some of the design elements made me think it could also work well as a small hunting lodge, perhaps on the plains of Africa. I'll show more of the build in a later post - if you are interested in seeing a demo though, follow the beacon from the landing point to the teleporter that takes you to Scarlet Creative's discount area.

Some of the female clothes here are free gifts from the opening of the Zenshi Shopping district. Many of the stores there had gifts out, but they may not be available for much longer (in fact, the Faster Pussycat dress gift shown below seems to have been removed, but a different version was available for free at the time of publication). Also like every month there are some great items at Mens Dept - I particularly like gO's Morten pants and the unisex sweater from Sleepy Eddy - so don't miss it (ends February 1).

Thanks as well to Ruby Vandyke of Rodeo Horse & Farm Animals for providing me with some mod versions of her rideables.

Pt. Richmond

A few more scenes inside the skybox from my last post, including a general view of this nice build from [Deco] on sale at Mens Dept.

Avis are the same as last time (see my previous post for info on gifts from Essences & Anna Shapes, also check the sale rooms for the new sale items from these designers). I'm not sure if the Golden Apple Hunt gifts are still available, but I hope some of you guys made your way over to the NYC sim to grab some of those items.

The fashion here is a mix of Mens Dept, two really nice group gifts from +HuHu+ (a relatively new store with some cool designs - check it out) and an excellent Christmas gift for women from English Muffin. Note that EM's gift includes the dress shown plus six female skin tones and it is just one of a whole mess of gifts (other skins etc.) that Remain Coy of English Muffin has put out for her group. While the group has a 100L joiner fee, the dress gift is currently set to free (check the Teddy Bear under the tree). Move fast while the gift is available...Update: the gift is now 75l for non-group members.

Pocket Billiards

The latest Mens Dept round has been underway for a while and it features another nice skybox from [Deco] that is great for entertaining with plenty of room for a new release pool table from End of Daze. And since billiards are best played à deux, it seemed like some charming company was 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 through December 24 with 12 pretty amazing gifts at a small price of 12l each (see pics of all gifts on the hunt blog). Also both the Essences female skin from TDR Fusion and the shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle are in sales ending some time later today, but Essences has just released a new group gift skin and Anna Shapes has a similar shape gift in the Amarelo Manga Christmas hunt (go into each store and find the Santa hats).

I've focused more on the female side of things here, but I'll have a bit more Mens Dept fashion and some general views of the build in a later post.
