Pin Up?

I have a couple of my favorite things today. Comfortable, well-broken in jeans, a casual tee shirt and a cold ‘adult beverage.’  The best thing is I didn’t have to work too hard for two of them. Just 1 linden for the jeans and some hunt time for the tee.

Around the Grid

Around the Grid in Eighty Days is one of the bigger well known hunts in Second Life and the seventh annual hunt is in full swing until September 30th. That’s a good long time to hunt down some top notch prizes. Happily, there are a lot of good men’s items on the hunt along side the women’s fare. Like these perfect destressed jeans from ZFG. Just look for the red and yellow hot air balloon and a toss in one linden and they’re yours.

Sizes Included

• Belleza
• Signature
• SLink

I’m NOT sure I like the idea of Dumpster diving….

But… I really like this tee. This is the ‘Pin Up’ tee from The Sissy Bar and it’s the free prize for the Dumpster Diving Hunt. Luckily, I didn’t have to crawl in a dumpster to grab this great tee shirt. While you’re at The Sissy Bar looking for the tiny trash can… be sure to check out all the Hunts running and the past hunts shelves. TSB always has a solid selection of men’s items in their hunts. Something VERY much appreciated.

Sizes Included

Queen of The Jungle

I’m feeling very Jungle queen today!  Like I could swing from a vine and drink from a coconut – or maybe even be an extra in a Duran Duran video.  I’m probably not wearing enough makeup for the latter, so let’s go with jungle queen!  Now where is that Tarzan hiding?

Tribal Sauce

After seeing all the cool finds that everyone else turned up on the Around the Grid in 80 Days Hunt, I took to hunting a bit myself, and came across this really great suit from Sasheba’s Closet.  I love the way it skims off my curves!  I’m betting you could even use it for some roleplaying if the mood strikes! It also comes with a fairly extensive HUD to change the colours to many different looks!  I searched out the hot air balloon in the store that contains this pretty number, and paid one little linden for it!

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Maitreya
• Hourglass

Good Luck!

No Shame In My Game

It looks like Julianna and I had the same idea – It’s hot… and we should float!  My floatie isn’t quite as cool as hers, but it’s doing the trick 😉

I’m floating around trying to beat the heat on the Sea Foam Sim today (thank you to Markum for showing me this sim!), in my new Sumur Dress that I picked up at Shame for the Around The Grid in 80 Days Hunt.  This dress comes in one size – Maitreya and has a casual lightweight jersey type texture to it that makes me wish I had this breezy cool dress on in real life!

This dress will set you back 25L if you are too lazy to hunt for it – or 1L if you don’t mind having a peek around! The hunt icon you are seeking is a yellow and red hot air balloon.

Have Love, Will Travel

Hey there Fabulouses! The Around The Grid in 80 Days Hunt has some really nice prizes.  I stopped in at La Gazza Ladra recently and found that they were participating, so I hunted down the hidden air balloon hunt icon and picked it up for 1L.  You can pick up a hint at the main entrance if you need a little help.  The prize inside was the Scalloped Dress in Red Butterfly as I am wearing today that comes in XXS-L mesh sizes.  If you are not a fan of hunting, but do like this dress – You can pick it up for 25L at the main entrance by the poster.

I also wanted to quickly mention that Magika is having a half off hair sale!!  I usually pick up the new releases as they come out, but I seem to have missed a few because I popped in today and found a few more I didn’t have yet!

En Route To Junbug

Hey Fabulouses, Love Trill reporting here, to share news of some sweet deals!  I went to visit the Junbug shop the other night just to have a peek around and do some window shopping and I noticed in the back of the store they have a TON of gacha machines filled with gorgeous items from previous events.  If you are like me, and can’t seem to keep up with all of the events because there are so many out there, make sure you check out Junbugs instore selection of machines.  I found a machine that plays for the Succubus Gown and the Freja Collar and within a few pays of 50L I had the gown and the choker I was after!

The En Route Jewelry Set I am wearing along with the Freja Collar can be found as a hidden “Around The Grid in 80 Days” hunt prize for 1L at the B!asta Mainstore.  The set includes the long tassled necklace and matching earrings too.
The skin I am in has been previously shown a couple of times, but I am still enjoying showing it off as it is a great deal!  The Al Vulo Celestial Femme Fairy TDRF Edition Skin is still available at The Dressing Room Fusion, priced at just 70L.
