You may want to unwrap this present first, but you know if you wait, the best present will be the last. Gabriel has a FREE gift out (no group join) for all of us guys (and the ladies too, if you catch my drift 😜). Grab your FREELace-up Briefs, a holiday gift that is on a kiosk near Gabriel’s group gift wall. The briefs come for the following body types:
Aesthetic
Jake

And with a little finessing, I made it work for my body too. So be the best present under your tree as well. Enjoy your Christmas Eve!

Getting centered is now part of my daily avocation and nothing goes better together than Tai Chi and a cup of Chai Tea afterwards. I needed to be at total peace to put on a new avatar to model for you today (I get nervous I will never get my usual body back on correctly). I found the Robert Bento Mesh Fullbody Avatar at Altamura for FREE on the Men Only Hunt 10. I recommend you pick this up even if you make no other stops on this hunt. I kept the avatar in it’s unpackaged condition (no appliers) so you can see what you are getting. I was impressed with a couple of things, one being the facial movements of the Bento head, and the other being the alpha HUD.
Accessorizing the New Look…
I used some other items from the MOH10 to give “Robert” his own personal flair. Bad Hair Day provided the Irusu Hair as their hunt gift. Avi-Glam‘s gift is the Cold Day Eyes. To cover my “bits”, I put on the Brian Boxers, the gift that can be found at Alter. This gift includes a HUD that lets you select from five different colors. I accessorized with the Rage Nose Piercing, the hunt prize found at LouLou&Co & BeBop . And.I also put on the Knight Cross Necklace, found at etham. Did I mention that all the gifts I just mentioned are FREE? The pose today is also a FREE gift on the MOH10. Grafica provided as a gift the Gwrido pose set.
May you find your inner peace today.

Hello Fabulouses! Today, Ripley and I wandered the grid in search of some autumn colors, and came across this lovely patch of wildflowers on the Salt Water sim. Although they weren’t the fall foliage we were seeking, they coordinated beautifully with my new dress, so I just had to snap a photo.
Pretty in Pink
Speaking of my frock, this lovely mini is a free gift for members of the Mesh Body Friends group from Hilly Haalan. In a deep rose hue, this sleeveless little number features sexy lacing in the front and the back. I love the soft shimmer of the fabric and the way the skirt flares slightly to allow freedom of movement. This dress is so sweet and feminine! It is designed specifically for mesh avatars, and fit my Maitreya Lara body beautifully. Best of all, since the Mesh Body Friends group has no join fee, I was able to scoop up the Estela dress completely for free!

I don’t know about you, but I sure am glad tomorrow is Friday! This has been a long, busy week for me in RL, and I am looking forward to some relaxation and lazy moments this weekend. Until my next post, happy shopping!
As we hit the downside of the week, my thoughts turn not to the tasks at hand, but to the weekend. To relax and be with friends and family and to do what I want, when I want, WHERE I want and NOT be stuck in this cubicle. My RL cubicle is larger than this one, but it is still windowless and dreary. This boy needs a little bit of sunshine about now…
I don’t want to work…
My office attire is this month’s group gift from Resun. The Ramon Outfit is a black shirt and tie with tan slacks. The Resun group has a joining fee of $100L, but I was lucky enough to join when there was a limited time open, no fee to join. (New Resident Tip: Join groups that usually charge a fee to join when they have free enrollment for totally awesome gifts.) I found the $10L Scott Randolph Boots (that Astrid originally showed [HERE]) on the Roped Passion’s cart at The Wash Cart Sale still going on.
… I want to bang on these drums all day
And I have two more hunt gifts from the Men’s Only Hunt 9. I found the Hipsta Watch at PBM Enterprises and my pose came out of the pose gift pack I found at Grafica.
This weekend, I’m thinking some surf and sand is just what the doctor ordered…

Another fabulous guest blog by Geoffrey Edwardstone, originally blogged [HERE]
Greetings from the Orient, all you deal-seekers. The Silk Road Hunt (hunt website here) organized by Historical Hunts is running until June 30, and has some fabulous gifts that are completely free. There are 102 stops on this hunt, each one having a male and female or a unisex free gift. The theme this year is “Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves”, so you will find the gifts focusing on the Middle East and Arabia. No blog post can do justice to the many beautiful things you can find traveling the Silk Road this year, but let me give you a taste of what you will find.
This hunt is features many buildings, furniture and other decor items, but there are also a few clothing items. First off let me show you a combination of two clothing gifts. The Ali Baba headdress, vest, sword, and leather wrist cuffs in this picture come from Goddess Fantasies (#05 SRH5), while the pants and belt are the gift at Rag Dollz (#032 SRH5). There are some pretty nice women’s clothing gifts at both of these stores too.
Shown above:
Headress, vest, sword, wrist cuffs: Goddess Fantasies – Ali Baba (#05 Silk Road Hunt 5 gift/free)
Now let me pan back my camera a bit and show you the gorgeous building I’m standing in front of. It’s the Ali Baba Tower, the Silk Road Hunt gift from Salome Designs (#09 SRH5). It’s a gorgeous two story hexagonal Arabian-style building with a hanging fire pot and a balcony walkway around the second story inside. And remember – it’s absolutely free!
You can furnish your building with the room divider with plants, a chair and table from Hearth & Home (#012 SRH5) shown on the left below, or with the burl tables, dressing screen and plant stand, all gifts from An Lema (#018 SRH5) shown on the right.
Room Divider with plants, chair, table: Hearth & Home (#012 SRH5 gift/free)
Secret of the Thieves Burl tables, Thieves Dressing Screen, Riches of Persia Plant Stand: An Lema (#018 SRH5 gift/free)
Another of the buildings available as gifts on the Silk Road Hunt is the Arabian Temple found at Dragon Magick Wares (#020 SRH5). It has lovely carved wood windows and the interior textures are amazing.
You can see more of the interior of this building here because I’ve furnished it with the Scroll Floor Lamp, the gift from Kismet (#035 SRH5) and the Thieves Rest Bench, floor pillows, lamp, plant fromDreamscape Wedding Designs (#051 SRH5) in the top picture, and Salman’s Rug 4two from Sweet Sorrows (#041 SRH5). This is mighty sweet decor whether your furnishing a Middle Eastern building or just a beachside house.
There are quite a few fun gifts on this hunt as well. Two of my favorites are the Relaxing Magic Carpet made by Potpourri Designs(#039 SRH5) and the Hide n’ Peek Jars, the hunt gift at Sheds n Shacks (#079 SRH5). It may not be clear from the picture below, but the Relaxing Magic Carpet hovers up and down (but doesn’t actually fly and can’t be steered). The Hide n’ Peek Jars allow three people to hide in or between the various jars in the set. Very handy if you are one of the 40 thieves.
If all you want for your desert oasis is some water and an elegant spot to rest, you can’t beat the tile oasis with water pool from Pierre Ceriano (#022 SRH5). After refreshing yourself at the pool, you can rest on the cushions that surround this lovely low table from Park Place Home Decor (#027 SRH5). The cushions and table come with the plate and table lamp shown in the picture.
And for the more nomadically-minded you can find the blue and gold satin tent on the left in the picture below at Botanica (#093 SRH5), and the elaborate furnished tent with pillows on the right at ~XM~ Designs (#30 SRH5). Both come with elegant working lanterns.
Shown above:
On the left: Blue gypsy tent – Botanica (#093 SRH5 gift/free)
On the left: Arabian tent –~XM~ Designs (#30 SRH5 gift/free)
Finally, so that you don’t think there are just two men’s clothing gifts on the Silk Road Hunt, I must show you several of the many, many gifts available at stop #085, the Mountain Rose Shops. This single stop on the main hunt offers a “mini hunt” among the several stores at that location, and you can pick up a total of nineteen prizes there. Some are furnishings and buildings, and others are clothing. Each of the clothing gifts includes men’s, boy’s, ladies, girls, and child versions. As you’ll see from my pictures, the Mountain Rose Shops did not just limit themselves to an Arabian theme, but rather created clothing gifts from across the entire Silk Road route. In several of these pictures I am wearing the red Ali shoes, the men’s hunt gift from Lindy Modern Shoes (#082). But here are the clothing gifts from the Mountain Rose Shops:
Shown above (all prizes from the mini-hunt at the Mountain Rose Shops):
#1 Arab Prince: Mountain Rose Shops (19 gift minihunt) (#085 SRH5 minihunt gift/free)
#2 Beggar: Mountain Rose Shops (19 gift minihunt) (#085 SRH5 minihunt gift/free)
#3: Indian Prince – Mountain Rose Shops (19 gift minihunt) (#085 SRH5 minihunt gift/free)
#4: Mongolian Prince (with boots) – Mountain Rose Shops (19 gift minihunt) (#085 SRH5 minihunt gift/free)
#5: Venetian Nobleman – Mountain Rose Shops (19 gift minihunt) (#085 SRH5 minihunt gift/free)
A Guest Blog by Geoffrey Edwardstone – The Men Only Hunt, originally blogged [HERE]
The 4th edition of Men Only Hunt is running through 7AM on June 15 with 58 stores offering completely free prizes if you can find the hidden beer glass hunt object. A list of participating stores, their SLURLs and hints can be found at the hunt website. The theme this time is “Summer” and hunters will find plenty of casual clothing, accessories, shoes and tattoos. There’s not room here to show you all of the MOH4 hunt prizes, but I can show you plenty of examples of the kinds of things you’ll find along the way.
First off, quite a number of the participating stores are offering tattoos. While all of these tattoo prizes come in tattoo layer form, several also come in clothing layer versions, and an increasing number of them also have SLINK mesh hand appliers as well. That’s right — the mesh hand/foot craze is starting to hit male fashion too, which means that fashion-conscious men will soon have to start worrying about whether they have the correct hands and feet on when they go out in public. Obviously I’m still wearing the hands and feet the Linden gods gave me at birth.
(Note: Hair in these pictures is Lucifer by A&A Hair and is not included in the hunt)
In keeping with the summertime theme, several of the MOH4 participating stores are giving glasses and sunglasses as prizes. Here are the seven I found.
Pretty much all of the clothing prizes in the MOH4 hunt are casual. Most prizes are shirts or shorts, allowing you to mix and match tops and bottoms to suit your mood, while a few stores are offering complete outfits. I went down to Bondi Beach in the Sydney City region to take some pictures of the outfits I put together from the various shirts and shorts I found in the hunt.
The lowdown on where to find the parts of these outfits is as follows.
Outfit 1: Low Waist Shirt (with 6 color HUD) by [GIOMEN] – MOH#55; Sum shorts by .ARISE. – MOH#46; Men’s FlipFlops – American Bazaar – MOH#01
Outfit 2: Summer Flip Flops by Aitui – MOH#16; Anchor Tee V.1 by {Fe Style} – MOH#18; Sum shorts by .ARISE. – MOH#46
Outfit 3: Saturday Shorts (black) by [tomboi] – MOH#33; Check Summer Shirt byREBELL – MOH#24; Supra Kicks by Razor/// – MOH#27
If you’re looking for a full summer outfit, you’ll find these three lurking among the MOH4 hunt prizes.
The particulars on these full outfits are:
Outfit 4: Tommy outfit by zanze – MOH#15; Denim Slipons by Anchor & Co. – MOH#7
Outfit 6: Donned (Shirt, tie & pants) by SwaggedOut – MOH#54; Zanotti sneakers by Sabotage – MOH#56
Well, after a hard day of hunting I decided to put on two more hunt gifts, a hunt prize shape by Surrogates and another hunt prize skin by T.Bare and catch some rays. The swim trunks in this picture are not a hunt prize but is one of a set of six James Bond swimsuits by sf Designs.
Skin: Apollon Deep Tan-Eyebrow Cut byT.Bare – MOH#21
Swimsuit: James Bond swimsuit by sf Designs (not free)
But if you’re going to get a tan, best to do it without getting a tan line. Fortunately Grafica Poses (MOH#6) is giving out the bain de soleil pose complete with a wearable straw hat strategically positioned in just the right place. Aaahhhhhh…..
