Jack is Depraved

It seems that every time I head down to Shiki, not only do I find some great gear, but I also find out about new hunts happening around the grid. Today was no different as I discovered the Jack or Jill Hunt. Brought to you by Depraved Nation, Jack or Jill is a ‘split path’ hunt with 50 stores for women as well as 50 stores for men and it’s looking very, very good indeed.

The outfit I’m wearing above is Shiki’s entry into Jack or Jill and is called the Nakano Style outfit which features the sweater and pants that you can see above. The sweater comes in a great pink colour and the texture is awesome, thick and warm looking. The cuffs, neck and sweater bottom attachments that come along with it all fit really easily, as do the cuffs for the pants.

After scooping up the Shiki gift, I checked out who else was in the hunt and once I saw MADesigns was in it, I rushed over there to find their gift which is the hair I’m wearing in the above pictures. ‘Jesse’ is a super-funky spiky ‘do that must be a pretty recent release as I hadn’t come across it before. It looks brilliant in the light brown colour and you also get the light brown hairbase to wear with it along with a pair of ‘The Happening’ eyes in moss.

So there you have it, a couple of great gifts from what looks to be a super hunt that will be going on all this month. Plenty of stuff for both guys and girls and well worth checking out. I know I’ll be snooping around for some more gifts soon. If you want the full lists, hints and what have you, you can take a look here: http://depravednation.com/jack-or-jill

Year of the Dragon

With the start of the Chinese New Year, we have the Year of the Dragon Hunt here in Second Life running from January 23 to February 23. With about 70 stores participating, it’s looking like a brilliant hunt and today I have Ruby Skins contribution to show you all.

For the men you get this entire avatar with the outfit included – everything you see above: skin, shape, pants and shoes. It’s a very full hunt gift indeed. The whole look reminds me of Shaolin monks and is pretty wicked. The red sculpted belt that comes with the pants looks awesome and fits perfectly with the shape that’s included. The skin also has a cool little Yin and Yang tattoo in between the shoulder blades which is a nice little touch.

There is also a hunt gift for you ladies as well so you should definitely head down to Ruby Skins and try to find yourself the dragon hatchling to score some dragony goodness.

Yeehaw More Mens Only

We’re into the final few days of the Mens Only Hunt and what a good ‘un it has been. I’ve still got some more goodies to share with you though.

This first item from #Before Sleep# has put me in a very country mood. I believe it just may be the first pair of overalls I’ve ever owned in either life.

Here’s a closer look. They are very cool, I love the stitching on the denim texture and the overalls go great with the red shirt that comes with them. The cuffs of the overalls fit very well (as do the shirt cuffs) and I liked the way they looked with my next item.

These tan hiking boots come from Soul Distraction and are absolutely fabulous. They look like they’ve seen quite a bit of hiking already and are still raring to go for more. The details on them, like the buckles and laces, are fantastic. These come with an alpha layer to make them easier to wear and they are resizeable via script.

So you still have time to run out and grab some gifts from the Mens Only Hunt if you haven’t already. The hunt ends on the 17th and I’ll try to get back to show you some more before it’s all said and done.

More Men Only

I’ve been opening more boxes from the Men Only Hunt and came across a few more items that caught my eye.

The jeans, shirt and tattoo I’m wearing above is all from Spearsong and is an awesome outfit. The muscle shirt is fantastic, I like the way it moulds itself to your torso tightly. The tattered jeans have just the right amount of ripping and they also come with bunched cuffs.

My favourite part of the Spearsong outfit is the amazing Hellbound tattoo. You can wear this with either clothes layers (ie. jacket and gloves) or the whole shebang on the tattoo layer. I told you yesterday I love expanding my tattoo collection and this one is sure going into that. The hat I’m wearing is another hunt gift from [Loud] and is a very cool and well-made Winter Cap, love the grey and black pattern on this. My mouth piercings are from Sour Pickles and are pretty super, I like them even though I don’t generally wear piercings much.

Finally I’ve got this absolutely brilliant top from Ducknipple. It’s called Peno and I simply love it. The layers can be worn separately if you wish and look wonderful by themselves but even better worn together. The design on the Skull13 layer is grungy and great and both tops come with sculpted sleeves, bottom and collar. Definitely one of the stops on this hunt you should make a priority.

Men Only

Another hunt for us guys has begun, hooray! It’s called the Men Only Hunt and started on the 1st of December and will continue until the 17th. There are many, many awesome gifts to be picked up in this hunt and because missqwerty Pevensey, the organiser of this hunt, was so generous, I have lots and lots to show you quicker than I normally would. To be honest though, I was too excited to take pictures of everything so I have a few things to show you right now.

In the picture above I’m wearing the gift from American Bazaar which includes the black blazer and jeans. I love my blazers and this is a super one that features sculpted cuffs, collar and bottom to the jacket that fit all too easily. Worn casual or more formally, this blazer fits the bill and looks brilliant. The jeans are cool too with a great faded texture and cuffs that I didn’t have to edit at all. Under the blazer I wore the Ju Sweater which is [NV]s hunt gift. As you can see it looks fantastic worn under a jacket but looks even better by itself (see below).

I’m absolutely loving the sculpted bottom for this Ju sweater, the colours are gorgeous. It comes on multiple layers and has sculpted sleeves and collar (which I chose to go without for this picture).

The skin I’m wearing in all these pictures is Belleza’s entry into the Men Only Hunt which is as terrific as you’d expect. I haven’t seen Belleza in too many hunts that I’ve done before so this was a definite must-have. Superb details and look with the hip facial hair included, this is lovely skin and one I’ll be wearing long after the hunt is finished. The ‘Follow This Line’ tattoo I’ve got inked on here is from [DIAMOND], a store I haven’t been to before but one I’ll be checking back with as I always enjoy expanding my tattoo collection.

Last but not least we have this outfit from Be Happy! Another store I haven’t paid a visit to and really, this is one of the best reason to do a hunt, getting an excuse to sample stuff from places you might never normally find. Their gift is called, fittingly enough, the Hunter Outfit and comes with the jacket and jeans you see. I love the jacket with its wicked snakeskin like texture and rounded collar and the jeans aren’t too shabby either, I think the colour of them rocks. The poses I’ve used in all the pictures are also a hunt gift from Art Body Store and definitely came in handy.

So there you have the first little taste of some super hunt gifts. I’ll have more for you in the coming days but you should so get started on this, it looks like a good ‘un. A screwdriver is what you’ll need to find to nab these.

I always get excited when a new store opens…so when I heard about [Echo] I dashed right over to scope the goodies. I wasnt dissapointed…fab collection of reasonably priced gear..super colour palettes run throughout so mixing & matching is a breeze…I snaffled up the Forte sweater.(55L)….such a versatile little item and added a pair of Tres Beau cord shorts that I collected from the VIP room earlier for just 20L !

The De Capo sweater was another instant purchase, lotsa colour choices and it even comes with the necklace, only 50L, quite the deal! Another bargain from Tres Beau’s VIP room was this darling little cord skirt priced at 20L , would look great with some winter wooly tights and boots right?

Of courrrse I found something PINK to delight…this classy Tshirt ”Fugue”, sooper bow detail at the back..a real winner for my wardrobe…priced at only 30L *gasp*…sooo many colours in this you might wanna get a few..

I’m gonna add a little bit about Tres Beau here also…my friend Carmella Ruby  told me that their gift for the DIMH (diamond is mine hunt) was fantastic…so of course I HAD to head over and grab it up..and she was right it IS delish…Ruby came on over to show me something else shed found, which is a VIP group members room. Now neither of us could find a sign or teleport for this..and you can’t landmark it..sooo we had to sneakily cam in and sit on a couch inside – naughty!…once in, the room is choc-a-block with discounted pretties…as I showed above the cord skirt & shorts…but theres tonnnns more ! Gowns, complete outfits..I was trying to be really really good and not splurge ! Soooo if you need to find this little nook of goodness, enter the main store doors directly infront of you as you land…and follow around to your right..alllll the way through the store…rightttt to the very back…then peek through the wall using your camera controls..and sit on the couch to get in- I’m pretty sure there is a much easier way to do this…but heyho…FUN! oh so yeah..the DIMH gift! it’s seriously yum…all dark brown checks and a fabbo shawl type cardi/wrap…the glasses are a new group gift from Lepoppycock…youll find them at the entrance of the store right by the group joiner board…shooz are the K a w a i i H u n t item from tea time…awww lully!

Get off that couch!

 

The Couch potato 2 hunt has begun and I dashed right over to Cleo Designs to find their gift ! I’m always stunned by the generosity of gifts from this store, and this is no exception…you get a whopping big box of items, all crammed with poses…thats the whole set above…bed,chaise,dresser and chair,comfy chair, suitcase and drapes and a picture for the wall…one thing I couldn’t fit in was the guitar..that actually plays music !

 Heres the bed in a closer view, I particularly liked the chaise, some lovely animations and props , like the book…the light above is sooper pretty and actually lights up…

 

 

This time around the couch potato hunt has a theme, “say it with a song”, so each hunt gift must have been inspired by a tune..Cleo designs is “Hotel California”, hence the guitar that plays it and the whole hotel set up room styling…thanks Cleom for a great gift!

Seasons Huntings

I’ve got good news and bad news. The Seasons Hunt has started again! I’ve always loved those as there is so much goodness to be found in them. The bad news is that this will be the last one, boo. Oh well, there’s still time to make hay while the sun shines and I’ve run out and grabbed a few items to show you.

First is the hat and scarf you can see above. They are the hunt gift from NSD. I was extra happy to find this gift because the last hunt that took me to NSD I failed at miserably and could not find anything.  The hat is especially awesome here and it fit surprisingly well on my large noggin as did the scarf.

Next up is the cable knitting vest from [pivaaca], one of my favourite stores when it comes to this kind of clothing. Check out the details and texture on this vest and you can see why, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Perfect to wear over…well whatever you want really and features great fitting attachments which also come in a  female size.

Ah Willow, being here brought back memories of the summer version of the Seasons Hunt, trying to find a gift amongst the many sharks. Not that much has changed as this time I had to wade through an orange sea of pumpkins and perplexed people. However, just like before, finding the gift is well worth it as you will get this fabulous pair of the Creek Moccasins. These are some very rugged and wild-looking boots which definitely do not have that ‘freshly made at the factory’ look about them. Girls you can try to find this one as well because there are both male and female versions included in the gift.

So there’s a few gifts for you to check out from this brilliant hunt and I’m sure I’ll have some more to show you before it all ends on the 29th of this month.

Hunt Them Down

Happy Friday everyone! I’ve still been ‘On the Hunt’ and managed to find a couple more items from it that I thought you ought to see.

The hair you can see me wearing above is from the good folk at MADesigns and is called ‘Sam’ in dark blonde. I usually leave the blondeness to Faith but who can pass up a hunt gift from MADesigns no matter the colour. It’s a great, stylish ‘do and I like it a lot. They have also included one of their new female couture hairs in the gift called Selita so you ladies have something to find too.

The black outfit is from [TK] Designs, another cool new store for me. You get the black satin shirt and leather pants in this gift and both look super. The satin shirt comes with an easy to wear collar and the leather pants have wickedly realistic creases in them.

So there you are, another couple of tremendous hunt gifts for your Friday that you should definitely track down. You’re looking for a magnifying glass for ‘On the Hunt’ and neither store should cause you too much stress in finding them.

On the Hunt(s)

Oh my, it seems that there is an absolute pile of  awesome hunts on at the moment and we all love those don’t we? I managed to wade in and grab a few items from a couple of different hunts to show you all.

Starting at the top we have Jaryth’s Barber Shop gift from ‘On the Hunt’ it’s called Clipper Cuts Mark II and is a funky little spiked ‘do that also includes a very cool tribal hairbase to wear it with (I do love my etched hairbases).

Next on the list are two items from a store that’s new to me {Bastian}. The ring I’m wearing is part of their On The Hunt gift called ‘Eirik’ which is a great looking ring, leather with a sweet stone set in the centre. Also included with the gift is a brilliant Personal Studio skybox in beige which is very useful and pretty. You can also pick up the Insignia Tee while you’re there for free and it’s a lovely basic black V-Neck.

Finally I scored the Retro tattoo from Para Designs (which is one of my fave tattoo stores) as part of the Fallen and Depraved Hunt. It comes in both black and a coloured version with three tints for both – light, medium and dark. It also comes on all layers. That coupled with the fact that it’s an awesomely designed tattoo, makes it a superb hunt gift and well worth tracking down.

Make Him Over

As you might have guessed, I’ve been out and about, trying to do the Make Him Over hunt that started last week. I haven’t been able to get all the way through it yet but I have found a few goodies to show you here.

The first picture is a mix of a few gifts. The hair is from Shag and is called Black Jack. A wicked little wavy kinda mohawk that you get in two colours: powder and shadow. There is a colour changeable streak that runs through this ‘do and there is a huge amount of tints to choose from. The Stomp glasses are from Kumaki Glasses Style and have a large amount of fabulous options in the menu and there is also a Nylon Belt Watch included in this gift! The shirt is from Sartoria and as you’d expect from them, it is just too cool. Great design, it comes on multiple layers and has well-fitting sleeves and body prim. The jeans are Poison’s entry into the hunt and are fabulous. The Dos70 jeans come in two different waist heights: one normal and one lower plus some sweet looking sculpted cuffs, the texture is gorgeously done and has some wonderful creases around the waist and backs of the knees. You can find all these brilliant gifts by following the links below:

Hair: Shag
Glasses: Kumaki Glasses Style
Shirt: Sartoria
Jeans: Poison

Next is the hunt prize from Hermony. You get two for one with this gift as it contains both the Oversized Beanie as well as the NRD Tanktop. I was super pleased to get another one of these beanies as I like them a lot, with there being two copies for different attachment points you can wear this with a hair of your own or you can use the tattoo layer hairbase that comes with it like I have. The tanktop has a great look, I love the neon greeny colour of the image against the black of the tank itself. This also comes with a sculpted body part to give it that extra bit of awesomeness.

Get the gear here: Hermony

A couple of more gifts to finish off for today and it seems I found another hairstyle, this time from **Dura**. This is quite a different style to what I’m used to and, to be honest, it took a few minutes for me to get my head around it(it also helped that I finally got it sized right too!) but once I had, thenI started to like it. The MHO Limited Hair comes in a script resizer version and one with no such script. The Bicolor tee is from Acid & Mala Creations and is superbly casual (great for wearing with those jeans I mentioned earlier). It comes on all different layers and features lovely looking sculpted sleeves and the bottom of the shirt.

You can find these two gifts here:
Hair: **Dura**
Shirt: Acid & Mala Creations

I would say that all of these items I’ve shown here are definite must-gets and that’s barely scratching the surface of the massive hunt (there is something like 160 stores to go through!). For a full list of the stores and their links, you can take a look here: http://makehimover2.blogspot.com/p/mhoh6.html

The Seasons Hunt

Seasons Greetings! As you might have noticed, the Summer edition of the Seasons Hunt is on at the moment and there are some brilliant gifts for guys and girls to be had. I’ve not been up to my usual hunting standards so far. In fact, I’m failing quite miserably but I have managed to find a few bits and pieces to show you.

In the picture above I’m wearing the ‘Linen Check Shirt’ from [pivaaca] and ‘Linen Pants’ from Willow. As soon as I put these two gifts on together, I found an instant favourite outfit. I haven’t taken them off since I put them on. I love the way they look together and individually they’re just as good. Perfect for summer with the lightweight linen and the textures on both are fantastic, as are the colours. You put purple on anything and there’s a good chance I’ll like it but with the Check Shirt, it works even better than usual. They both come with some beautifully made and perfect fitting attachments that come in male and female versions! How great is that?

The other item that I’m really loving from this hunt are these Boston Sandals from [Sleepy Eddy]. The straw texture on them is so good you can almost feel it and the colours, the strap and buckle are just executed to a tee.

If you haven’t felt like getting out and doing some Summer hunting, I think that these three items alone should be enough to get you moving. Seriously, you shouldn’t pass up the chance to get these as gifts. There are a lot more Season Hunt gifts out there just waiting to be found, as well. This hunt will end on the 30th of this month so you better get moving. For more info you can visit their website: http://theseasonshunt.com/.
