Time for Kicking Back...

After so many hunts and more starting in a couple of days, taking a break means easy to wear and easy to find. Photos Nikolaidis at [A:S:S] and Guen DeCuir's offering through DSN made that as easy as even I could want.

The A:S:S mainstore has moved - the space is bigger, easier to move in and leaves Photos a lot of room to expand -- all good things -- but I admit I miss the charm of his little shop in Fordham. Nonetheless, it's a well deserved move and to celebrate it, he's put up a little mini hunt -- three silvery stars are hidden in new shop, just waiting for you to find them.

The prizes are two shirts and a pair of low rise jeans: Grey stripes on the left (the red jeans are another gift from the [Energy] offerings in the GLBT Hunt), the yellow top and jeans on the right. The new [A:S:S mainstore is on the Space Illusion 2] sim. No secret that I really like Photos's work -- and although these are free, his regular prices are good too, and he's got a really creative mind when it comes to what guys will and won't wear that I appreciate a lot.

Another unlooked for gift came through the [Designer Showcase Network or DSN]. Guenevere DeCuir is a kick-ass DJ who regularly rocks the socks off people at Sanctuary Rock, Freakheim Funeral Home and at the club I work, Lounge of Dreams. (Her Saturday Night mash-up sets are well worth your time). Aside from being a great DJ, she's also a talented artist. She does some amazing tattoo and jewelry work for her shop [.:CoLLisions:.], and recently sent out samples through the DSN network along with a really nice bead bracelet called "Nurturing Power" in red.

Left: Lotus, Right: Double Dragon. Both come in undershirt, shirt and jacket layers and are unisex.

The bracelet is basic and simple and a nice rich red without any need to glow; also unisex. I'm wearing it here with another gift from [Energy] and the GLBT Hunt -- black rainbow striped sweatpants (also in white, same pack.)

GLBT Hunt - Part One

The vendors participating in the GLBT Hunt for Pride Week kind of took the GLBT community to both heart and home. Among the hunt prizes are skyboxes, furniture, clothing, jewelry, humor and a lot of love. The theme is, "Hate is Not a Family Value" and the organizers and participating vendors are taking that message seriously. As an active member of the GLBT community, I can only say thank you and I <3 you guys.

If you ever wanted to furnish an inworld home, this is the hunt for you -- I may have to do a separate post just for the furniture -- and trust me there is more than enough to furnish a good sized house, and decorate it too. there's a fair amount of clothing -- mostly pride oriented, so even if you aren't a member of the GLBT, but just support us -- this is a good time to show it.

There's nearly a hundred vendors participating in the hunt -- a few have dropped, and there's some minor problems with some of the LM's, but no more or less than any other large gridwide hunt. There's assistance available in the GLBT Hunt group and from the hunt blog Tempest Heartsdale is keeping. Tempest, her hubby Marcon, and their friend Romanza organized the hunt and deserve kudos for doing so. Really, thank you all.

On to some of the gifts you'll find:

(Left) #19 Candy Catz - Rainbow Neko ears and tail, jeans & shirt (there are 4 gifts at Candy).

(Right) #50 DaHaus Retro chair, rug, & lamp for your sky box from #26 SMOTD, while you lounge around in one pair of the leather pants (rainbow fatpack) from #28 Sexy Threads and your funky t-shirt from #48 Dimestore.

#25 Bedlam offers Neko ears for males, females & transgenders and #51 Rosse Animations offers this rainbow bead necklace among other gifts (including jeans, animations and some interesting reading. ^_^)

(left) #23 Simply offers ripped rainbow jeans (as well as a nice assortment of accessories) & #24 Wildroses has this t-shirt to add to your pride collection -- with gestures to go with it.
(Right)#1 Tres Amigos start you off with an official outfit including this shirt (2 gifts at this location.) The jeans are from #51 Rosse Animations

#23 Simply ripped rainbow jeans & #21 Rainbow ribbon jeans from e! - Eclectic

#26 SMOTD Rainbow skybox exterior and interior --
this is a nice roomy skybox with a great porch.

With so much I can't blog it all, and I'm not even done with it yet, but I wanted to give you a taste of some things you can find. Most vendors offer multiple options or unisex items to cover males, females and transgendered people...so not everything may be for you, but I think you'll find plenty to make it worth the effort. The hunt can be a little challenging -- wireframe won't help you much, but Tempest is running a hint blog and I'm dropping hints in the comment section there too... so be prepared to work a little -- but not too much ~grins~.

I'll do my best to get links in later.
