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.

Lavender Dream

The Lavender Hill Hunt from Monochrome Hunts ends tomorrow and like usual there is a great mix of fashion & decor items to be had (note gifts cost 5l). Check the hunt blog for previews of most of the items.

Some of my favorite furniture gifts include [Circa's] coffee table and pouf set. The coffee table comes in two versions and contains a fascinating miniature garden with butterflies. Breno's bunny chair will also make you smile and is perfect for the season. On the fashion side, Epicosity's Mesh suit is a must for men and Immerse has a lovely purple Mesh dress that pairs perfectly with the necklace gift from Sigma Jewels.

My female model here features a very nice combination of a Shape It Up! shape found at the Free*Style store for just 10l and a gift skin from Deesse's. The male is the same Kirk skin from Essences I blogged last time- it's so nice I haven't wanted to take it off- combined with Step Inside's shape from the SYSP anniversary hunt. Note that the SYSP anniversary hunt has lots of good gifts for women (one of the outfits is shown below). Stop by the Structure Your Skin project to get the store list and hint "book" for the hunt.

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.
