Jackrabbiting for bargains

Post-hunt one of the things I like to do is visit the stores of things I liked, or in this case the sims to see what else might be around. It's kind of a haphazard approach to looking for stuff but every now and again, you get lucky. What I' found this morning is a mix between new stuff, free, dollarbies, or minimal costs (like under $25L)

Before I even started today, DSN had dropped a gift from Dark Closet: a Shades kilt in distressed silver-grey leater, complete with chain mail pants and a top. I mixed it up with previous hunt gifts, including the Shaggy hair from Bryce and the boots in the last gift from Sensual Mistery from MHOH2, Krazy Kanji Tat from HUZ from the JFTG hunt and the Pup collar from Urban Assault from the Steampunk Hunt.










I started at KOSH, which is a good bet any day of the week and they added a bunch of new stuff to their perpetual dollarbie piles, along with the weekly offerings: this time the lockless bracelet (charms style with skelton keys) and a triple wrap checker belt. Necklace is Coexist from Sable Rose in the Lucky Board.

Philotic Energy (PE) is another good bet where I picked up this Boyd Hair with knit cap fatpack on the discount display. Right across the way from PE is Moonshine with this gift of a hoodie and jeans for men in the middle of the display. (Other hoodies in the discount area for $10L)

Harajukubox was my next stop for these dollarbie Dirt Clod Boots at Slanted Fox -- they've been running a Going out of Business sale for a bit, so don't miss it, or the other dollarbies in the store.

The Pluses of Being a Ping Pong Ball

Edited to add: I've been informed that the skin I found is likely ripped off from Abyss. I've removed the links and the pictures, and would urge you *not* to try and find it. Give the content creators their due -- and their lindens.

Like most people, I have my freebie spots to check periodically... but I also get a certain amount of amusement just randomly TP-ing about to see what's out there...sometimes you get really lucky and sometimes all you get is a t-shirt, but you'll inevitably see something interesting along the way.

So, this morning I took a little stroll through Hell's End (mostly because I like the kilts at emo*tions and you can never have enough kilts) and tripped over some shops and things I hadn't seen before. Hell's End is mostly Grunge/Neko/Metal with a healthy dose of Gor tossed in -- all mixed up in a Cuisinart and spilled across an urban apocalypse build.

Mystic Hope is at the edge of the sim, and I almost missed this very cool outfit called Sir Lavendel. It comes with a nice cloak and a pair of fun violet cat eyes. (Zoe Cross not included with this outfit. You can get it from Sable Rose)

I rounded off my morning with some familiar places, including KOSH for the weekly freebie -- This week is the "Brittle Set".

And since I was already on X I darted over to the sim called "Men" to see what was new and came across the HSCC bike Shop...no free choppers but this collared t-shirt was extra nice. The belt I'm wearing is a nice leather one free from *i24 (and also some fun jelly-style bracelets)

But dude, you say, you went looking for kilts!

So I did. And if you were quick last night you grabbed the Marauder shirt from the Rfyre hunt when Eliza gave a shout out for it so that you could pair it with the very cool tanned leather kilt I got from Subtle Submission.

If you missed it, it's a reminder to never ignore Eliza...the woman has a nose for the good stuff. If you did, well the kilt is pretty versatile...I'm sure we can find something for you to wear with it.

Not quite the Easter Bunny

::Waves:: Hi. Stepping up to give Eliza an assist. We'll work through the intros and about me's later -- you guys are here for the goodies, I know.

Wasn't sure I could get you all here for an Easter egg hunt, so, I thought I'd do the hunt for you and bring you the finds. I'm gonna start by pointing you all to Londoom, in Goldbach. It's a fun build with some great shops and not a few freebies. You could say the anchor store is Damon Dollinger's Fear&Clothing, which is a store I love a lot for style as much as detail. He does great work (and his prices are extremely reasonable for what you get). He's got dollarbie shirts and a really worthwhile hoodie out for you to grab.(Extra bonus: the t-shirts come in both capped and short sleeves and multiple layers to wear any way you like.) He's also still got a pair of low rise tartan pants out from the Most Random Hunt Ever -- look for the big flower just inside the door .

The hoodie is $10L, but it's nice and the most I spent this morning. The black jeans I'm wearing with the F&C shirts are from *JetCity*, $0L, on the inside wall.

Keeping in Londoom, I went for a walk and found a mix of shirts and jeans, all casual and fun. Batshit, .:Addict:. and Sn@tch all have outlets there.

(and seriously, how can you not love a store called Batshit?) The shirts are fun and the jeans, while they come in a big box of Sn@tch freebies for women, are nicely detailed. .:Addict:. also had this hair "Caleb Hair-Chestnutmeg" which comes with the knitted cap.

Also, in Londoom, Lusty had some freebie poses for guys, in a red box just inside the door -- those are always worth grabbing and are the ones I used in the first pics.

If you planned right, you set yourself up to get some nice eggs dropped on you overnight from the Midnight Mania offerings of various creators. I woke up this morning to gifts from Trixxy's Shop and Freed.0m.

the T-shirt is part of the Michael Outfit from the Lucky Chair at Freedo.0m, the Dirty Bloody Jeans and Kilt are from Trixxy's MM board -- the Jeans and Kilt are back on the board today so go get on the countdown. Freedo.0m also has a bunch of free tanks at the desk.

The scarf I'm wearing in a lot of these shots is a freebie in the Designer's Hunt that's still running: this is from Slave of the Dream at CandyMetal. (look for the big box just inside the door to your left)

The other half of the Michael Outfit was a pair of half leg jeans, complete with iPod Nano.Now wouldn't I like one of those in my Easter basket?

(Hair in this is Bryce:Criminal, free at Savoir Hair).

Hope you find something worth grabbing -- even for the Midnight Mania boards that are passed, those shops are worth keeping your eye on.

That's it for me today -- I get to go watch a 4 year old hunt for eggs...and that's the best freebie ever. Happy hunting and have a blessed day if you celebrate Easter!
