The Mens Dept is Open for November

Hope you have been saving up some lindens because a new round of The Mens Dept has begun. There are some great deals to be found with all items under 150L! My skater outfit is from 22769 and consists of the Teal Oversized Shirt and Teal Corduroy Pants. It also comes in black, brown, and green. The Fox Hair which includes the tintable visor is from Atro Patena. My silver winged Adain Necklace is on sale from KOSH. The Star Ear Piercings are a unisex item from Pekka. I also found that Insufferable Dastard has a sweet deal on their Spark Eyes and picked up the grey/blue/aqua pack.

The skin I am wearing is the new November Group Gift from Filthy. Members can pickup for free the Steph skin in 2 tones including a bald, brown, and dyed hair version. The Filthy group costs 199L to join, but you get a new group gift skin every month and it is totally worth the fee! If you like my mesh White Boat Shoes, you can get them as a group gift from Gabriel. Many past gifts are available and the Gabriel group is free to join.

Shadow Moon Spotted at Carneval

The Mr. Hunter Hunt has begun so get ready for some great gifts guys! I was looking for a nice outfit to keep me warm while I explored the Carneval and luckily I came across the gift from (#24) Shadow Moon. Keep your eyes peeled, your looking for a smoking pipe. The full outfit includes the Mesh Mariner’s Jacket with Scorpion Shirt, Mesh Scarf, Grey Jeans, Biker Gloves, and Combat Boots. Wow, what an amazing gift and it’s perfect for the cold weather ahead!

The skin I am in today is one of the new releases from Step Inside at a new round of SYS Project. It’s the Boris skin for just 99L and you get rosy pale, normal, and tan tones with and without hairbases. I am wearing the normal tone. My eyes are a thank you gift from Insufferable Dastard you can pick up at their store for free and includes a prim version with optional shines.

If you haven’t had a chance to visit the Madpea Carneval yet, go take a look! It’s full of rides, games, and creepy surprises!

Trick or Treating in Kauna and UW.St.

It’s almost time to go trick or treating and Kauna wants to make sure your dressed warm for the chilly night ahead. They have two Halloween knit sweaters as free gifts at their store near their other sweaters. Above I am wearing the skeleton and below I have on the pumpkin. If you haven’t had a chance yet, I highly reccommend the Ghost of Halloween hunt that I told Xiu about. My sexy orange hairstyles in both pictures are GOH hunt gifts from UW.St. The adorable pumpkin bucket above and pumpkin bag below are GOH hunt gifts from SEY.

I was looking for the perfect mesh pants to go with this outfit and came across them from B&T on the Fashion Boulevard Halloween Hunt! You can pickup the Mesh Black Spiderweb Jeans once you locate the skull and buy it for just 10L. Men’s gifts are hidden in silver skulls. Speaking of skulls…you can get my Skull N Crossbones shoes for just 5L on a very short hunt from the Halloween sim exploring their haunted house. The cute bracelet of skulls in my mouth is a freebie from (-Atypical-).

The handsome skin I am in is another version of the current group gift from ~Tableau Vivant~. It is the Marilyn skin which comes in the light tone I am wearing, but also the darker tone I blogged before. The Tableau Vivant group costs 50L to join and has great new gifts every month. My sparkling mesh eyes are Pearl- Clear Pond from Poetic Colors which are free for joining their subscribe kiosk.

Don’t delay, Halloween is almost here and soon these offers will be history!

The Arachnos have come to Fallen Gods!

In the darkness they lurk, weaving a web of shadows, waiting to strike…

The fortune teller machine has mysteriously appeared again at Fallen Gods and has brought with it the dark and sinister Arachnos avatar! A prize so valuable is not so easily won though. You will have to bring your friends and find the person you share an astral bond of 100% with to claim this incredible avatar. It includes the Arachnos skin for male and female, back spider legs, blood eyes, lava loin cloth, spider chest eyes, and spider forehead eyes. This is an incredible offer, but you must hurry! The fortune teller machine vanishes November 3rd.

Finding my SWAG and AlterEgo

“I made it to the sim and there was no lag
so I started walkin’ and collected some SWAG!”

The SWAG Fest is wrapping up soon and ends on October 31st. This is your last chance to score the SWAG freebies and dollarbies along with some exclusive merchandise only sold at this event. AlterEgo has a dollarbie with a mesh Logo Hoodie and mesh Logo Fitted Cap (seen below on the right). While I was there I couldn’t resist buying the mesh Black Swag Sweatpants at 250L that paired so well with the hoodie. My fellow bloggers Love and Renee have given me the nickname “The Diva”… and so of course I had to buy the Diva Fitted Cap as well for 50L. The mesh Checkered Nerd Glasses are a dollarbie from *Epic* and includes a HUD to change the color.

To find the freebies, cheapies, and dollarbies at SWAG look for the kiosks located around the parks in each shopping district.

On the Left: From flow you can get the free mesh Whiskey Hood Tee which has a hood on the back. My mesh Brown Camo Half Mask is a free gift from [Mystic Canvass]. The mesh Rub it Trucker Hat is a freebie from HeadzUp!. My Gold SWAG Knuckle Ring is a free gift from Jamman Jewels.

On the Right: From ::Mango:: you can get the free mesh Souvenir V-Neck Shirt located in their shop at the event. My mesh Logo Fitted Cap is in the dollarbie from AlterEgo. The mesh Devious Smile Face Mask is a dollarbie from {PopTart} located in their shop at the event. My Gold Double Link Necklace is a free gift from Men’s Treasures in their Pumpkin Hunt.

Keeping Warm with Rispetto

Rispetto Designs wants to keep you warm during the chilly months ahead and has several new coats for sale. Their October Group Gift is the Moda Mesh Jacket in Orange. You can wear it without a shirt or with a black shirt. I’ve paired it with a pair of Mesh Boot Cut Jeans in Black also from Rispetto that only cost 75L. The Rispetto Designs group costs 50L to join, but they have new group gifts every month and 50L is less than the regular price of one of the new jackets.

Love Said Go To Airflow… So I Did!

Love asked me to go to Airflow because they have nice group gifts for men so I got on my bike and headed down there. Once I got there I joined the free group and snagged the gifts. Above I am wearing the Mesh Long T in Jazzy Blue which also comes in Smokey Red, Olive, and Black. I’ve paired it with the Rolled Up Denim Jeans that come with 2 different rolled up lengths.

Also among the variety of gifts you can pick up at Airflow are the Soft Leather Jacket I’m wearing in the top picture and the Sweater in the bottom picture. The jacket comes with the option of wearing it with a shirt, sweater, or no shirt. You will also find several scarfs as gifts for the cold months ahead.

You can find Love’s coverage of the female gifts here:
