Take a Little Trip

Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

~ Low Rider

It’s way too hot in Texas to stick around. Today, the temp on the car’s dashboard said it was 108 degrees! That’s Way. Too. Hot. Some I had to get away.Take a little trip… as it were.  Luckily, it’s always nice on the Grid. I even found a gorgeous SIM that’s based on the Highlands of Scotland… where even in the Summer… it’s nice and cool.

I was also pleased to find a great free gift from V8 that is perfect for wandering the Highlands. This is the Roger Urban outfit and it’s free with your Third Life Group tag. To join the Thrid Life Group just click the poster and pay a small one time 10L and there you go. Now, when I say outfit… that’s the whole outfit. You get the sweater plus scarf, the trousers, the fedora and the sneakers. (There’s also a pair of sunglasses that I forgot to put on…) The mesh is a good solid build. I had no clipping issues and it moved well. The colors would be good for Fall or Winter. I have no idea how long this special will last so don’t delay.

No more yielding than a dream

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumbered here,
While these visions did appear;
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend.
If you pardon, we will mend.

 

It was all a dream upon Midsummer’s Night

The Midsummer Night’s Dream Hunt, that is. First my new gown. I am becoming a huge fan of Ari – Pari. Honestly, when I saw this designer was doing the Hunt I may have actually squeaked with a happy. For just 3L and a little hunting you get the beautiful gown with a HUD for eight colors of fabric and six metals for the belt. It’s just gorgeous.

Cyber

Greetings FabFree.  Much like Juli, I have been sucked into the fervor surrounding the Second Life 17th Birthday. while there are considerably far few items for men, I have found at least one that is a must have for all the RPers. At least the bleak future/cyberpunks.

Future Perfect

This is the ‘Cyber Set’ from Zed for Men and it’s at the SL17B as your free gift. The set includes the vest, two cyber arms ( one left, one right) and a spine attachment. The pieces are all separate so you can wear all or just a piece or two. Any Cyber RP ladies could easily pick this set up simply for the arms and the spine. The set comes in the red I’m wearing as well as blue, cyan, orange, green and black. One note – I accessorized this vest with an applier long sleeved shirt and a visor from my closet, these do not come with the Cyber Set.

Tie Dye

Hello FabFree. No you aren’t hallucinating… we have two men’s wear posts… in a row! Between all the Access gifts Blue showed you and the huge All the Stuff Hunt, it’s a good day to be a guy on the Grid.

Tie Dye for

The casual shirt I’m sporting is from ZFG for Him. It may seem like a simple gift but the build is really solid. The details are perfect even zoomed in. You also get a HUD to pick one of six tie dye colors and patterns. Just a little hunting and it’s yours.

Sizes Included

• Belleza Jake
• Legacy
• Signature – Gianni
• SLink

Mix and Match

My next stop on the All the Stuff Hunt was Mishmash Fusion. This is one designer that always provides good “stuff” and this time is no different. Mishmash Fusion has actually put out a complete set of jeans and a tee shirt for us. I picked the jeans to show for two reasons… one, I really like the tie dye shirt and two… anyone can do jeans. Right? Welll, no. Jeans are one of those things you don’t notice unless it’s bad. These jeans from Mishmash Fusion are some of the best on the Grid. The color is right and the details are solid. These are absolutely staying in my closet.

Hide Out

Having spent much of my weekend ‘hunting’ down the gifts for the All the Stuff Hunt on the men’s path, I think some camouflage may be in order. And it does make for a very unique outfit the way Brocade Tiger is using it. This is not just another pair of shorts or snapback.

Hiding Out

Brocade Tiger has given us this complete outfit for the All the Stuff Hunt, “Hidden in Plain Sight”. The outfit consists of a pair of trousers and two tanks – one regular and one with long ripped scratches across the chest. The tanks can be worn separately or together. I love it when designers give the men something more fashion forward and this suits the bill.

Sun down, ya better take care

Good evening, FabFree. I know you have heard me say it before… finding great designers for men’s wear who also do hunts or Group Gifts and such is, well, difficult at time. It can be extremely frustrating. However, my stress is much lessened when wonderful Hunts such as the All the Stuff Hunt take place. Why you ask… because there are no less than 62 great designers offering splendid prizes for the Men’s Stuff part of the Hunt. So get your Hunting gear on and let’s Hunt!

Beach Time

The Men’s Stuff group has the very first prize on our list both here in the Blog and in the Hunt. And we start off in the Men’s Stuff Plaza with prize #00.  Brocade Tiger has provided the official group pirize this year with the “Dalmatian Dashiki” shirt. The relaxed style is perfect for hanging out on the beach watching the sun go down.

Sizes Included

• Class mesh – XS-XL
• David

The Men’s Stuff part of the All the Stuff Hunt provided my jeans as well. From UnderDog, a new to me designer, the dramatically named ‘Bad Boy’ jeans come in both the rolled up version and a straight cuff version. You are getting the entire Fatpack for these jeans, both versions and in three colors. Plus, there is a plethora of other free gifts in the UnderDog prize box.

Remember

We are heading into the Memorial holiday weekend here in the States, people are firing up their grills and making weekend plans… oh… well maybe not with the Virus hanging over our heads. At least we have the celebrations here on the Grid. One such is the Remembering You Hunt which is full of red white and blue loot. And one Army green.

Hunt the Weekend

Mystrie has jumped into the Hunt full force. They’ve set out both a ladies and a men’s gift AND a unisex decor gift.  I, of course, am showing you the men’s gift – “The Solider”.  The build is rather good and the color and texture are perfect. I highly recommend it.

Take a minute

Good evening, FabFree. I could ramble on about how bored I am at home. Or how I can’t wait for the quarantine to be over… But no one wants to hear it. Least of all me. So let’s get right on with the blog post.

Suited

Because it’s a good one. So many of the gits for men are caps or yet another hoodie. But Munereia has knocked it out of the park with this free gift. This is the Stahd outfit. You get the entire outfit, the shirt, the suspenders and the pants. It’s all as one piece but it all fits perfectly. If this piece intrigues you.. Munereia has this same set in the store for sale with a HUD to change up the colors of each piece.  Thanks for the excellent gift, Munereia.

Wednesday Night

Is it Friday yet? No…? I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed heading out of the house until we all got quarantined. I used to wait eagerly for Friday and the clubs or a nice dinner out or a bar for some live music. Now… every night is Wednesday night. Better times are coming and Fridays will be restored to their former glory.

Staying in

Since we are staying home we made as well enjoy it with the Stay at Home Club. I didn’t even have to leave the virtual house to pickup this new free outfit. This is “When the Party’s Over” by Alpha Male and it’s only on the Marketplace. Each piece is a separate so fitting is easy and it makes for a versatile addition to your closet. Plus, you get a very nice pair of dress shoes so it truly is a complete outfit.

Rise Up

Good evening, FabFree. I, like most of you, am stuck at home while the virus takes over the real world. However, I refuse to let it scare me into hiding here on the Grid. And yet… I have joined the “Stay At Home Club”. Hopefully you have as well. There are some choice free gifts being offered and they haven’t forgotten the men.

Rise

Ascend, in particular has been very generous with their gifts. Blue showed us all this shirt for the SLF&O group earlier.  This is the Hideo Trench and trousers. If you don’t care for the colors I’ve chosen. you can change them up with the HUDs. Because you are getting the entire Fatpack for both the top coat, cardigan and shirt and the trousers. If you simply purchased this set it would cost you well over 2000L. Honestly, it’s worth the price when you consider the staggering amount of color combinations you can make with the HUDs and the extremely high quality build and design. But for now… it’s free. Be aware, you must pay the vender 1L and it pays you back also the top is it’s own Fatpack and the trousers are their own Fatpack. Each must be purchased separately.

If you have time… drop a thank you note to Ascend for their generosity and wonderful community spirit!
