Things not to skip in the Skipping Stones Hunt

EDIT: Hunt Ends on the 25th. Go Now.

The Skipping Stones hunt runs through the end of the month and while there's not a lot of clothes for men, there are some very, very cool prizes worth grabbing.

Mostly summer themed, there are clever and creative offerings including this dock from [chanimations #16] that comes not only with the dock and sitting animations but incorporates a very fun "stone in mid skip" set of posed sets for great pics, including water ripples and a stone for your hand. The poses are more or less feminine but there's enough unisex ones to make it worth grabbing, plus it's a nice, light addition to any water feature you might have access to.

Another really nice set is this full conversation porch from #07. [Second Spaces]. It's a complete set with sits and a nice relaxed feel to the whole thing. Do rezz it in build mode and take it up the same way. Rezzes as one piece but the sofa, ottoman, cushions table and accessories aren't linked, so you can use it as a whole installation or in pieces.

Another full set with some chuckles is #05. [Frop!]'s DayDreaming Trundle Bed. Two fun poses on the trundle (one sleeping, one chilling) and a spinning animaton on the stool.

From 41. [the Sea Hole] comes "Drinks Crazy crooked Steampunk-ish House". At 107 prims, it's big, but it's got some fine detail and its a seriously usable space if you have the land for it (needs slightly more than a 512 plot.) There's some incredible light and texture elements, and the whole look is something between the Adamm's Family, Strawberry Shortcake, and Psycho. An odd combination but one that works in all the best ways.

#38. [Reek] offers you a smaller domicile in the Lyric Skybox. Basic box but again, nice lighting and texture elements, not dark inside at all. The outside is logo stamped but inside it's light and amazingly usable and fun.

There are some clothes for guys; light weight colorful fun casual wear like this Retro Chic set of shorts and a lavendar button down from # 26. [Shiki Design]. The shirt is prim collared and cuffed, making it wearable with a lot of things, but by itself, it kind of makes me want to spend the day at the beach.

12. [NachtMusik] offers you this Indie Kid set with shorts and a shirt (there's an argyle sweater in there too). And a surprise modern plaid couch -- so when you set up in your new skybox or steampunk mansion, you'll have new furniture to go in it.

If you are in need of footwear, 14. [Duh!] offers up these Grey Leather Work Boots. I got a similar set to this in another hunt and I get a surprising amount of use out of them. Nice detail, resizable and fun.

#39. [Addict] had what may be my favorite outfit of the lot. It's a casual look, crop pants , tee and a vest, but it also comes with accessories: a nicely done razor blade necklace, the tiger eyed cross bracelet (above)that I am wearing a lot, and bandanas for your pocket and wrist. The set goes really nicely with the flip flops and prim feet that I picked up at [+grasp+] as a group gift (not part of the hunt.) It's just a nice easy look and all the pieces can be worn with other things.

And last but not least, #37. [Republica] offers up this striped beach umbrella set (there's a strawberry themed one too) to make your day at the beach comfortable and relaxing. Poses, component pieces and most importantly: they didn't forget the sun screen.

I have to thank Vina and some other very kind ladies who are sweet enough to do some of these hunts and provide me with notecards of stuff of interest to guys. I'm gonna have to throw a luau to thank them all properly.

Again, the hunt ends at the end of the month. You are looking for a glowing stone, but none of them were particularly difficult to find and in this batch, well worth the time it took some places to rezz fully.
