The hunting season isn't nearly over and if you weren't aware, the wildly popular "Make Him Over Hunt" is gearing up again to start on the 15th. A lot of the current hunts for October are a mixed bag for us guys, and with so many of them, it's hard to know where and if you should devote any time to them, but I've got a couple of things here that I've tripped over that you might want to take a look at and make a grab for before they are gone.
Sable Rose - Basics Emerald Stud Earring (front and back)
The first up "Ear Basics," an offer from Sable Rose that is meant for guys but is unisex. You might have to dig some change out of your virtual couch for it, but it's worth it. For $50L you get a mega pack of basic earring sets. Yes, earrings..., studs, hoops, and piercings that go with pretty much anything and everything you need that aren't modified women's earrings and aren't so big and blingy you blind everyone in a 50 metre radius. I'm not show you all of them, but there are 34 sets in this pack, gemstones and industrial, along with a sizing and placement card and pieces that when you rezz them, even if they are small, won't typically end up inside your head, because these were fitted to a male avatar. And while you are there, you might hang out a bit at the lucky boards in the back. Rosie has put in her her very cool Coexist set (from the jewelry faire post) along with a version of her Zoe gothic cross...and that makes the whole visit a bargain.

Decked out? Good... let me show you another kind of deck, this one for free. JJ Lane furniture participates in a lot of hunts, and the quality of their stuff is top notch and relatively low prim. they also have a Prize for Picks aspect to their subscribo and even if the airier styles they carry (they do mostly beach style furnishings) they are worth keeping on your radar. Currently they are in the Pumpkin Prints Hunts (look for the pumpkin with the paw print) and the Halloween Hunt reboot (look for the black bat) and if you want something for your deck or outside patio...you can't miss with these:
JJ Lanes Adirondack deck set - #14 on the Pumpkin Prints Hunt: This is an amazing amount of furniture as a gift. It has one double set of adirondack chairs with a shared table (3 prims), a single chair with a blanket and pillow set attached (3 prims) , another single chair, (1 prim) a side table (1 prim) and a greenhouse flower arrangement (which pops at 17 prims)
Copy/No Mod/No Trans
This has a great menu driven set of sits and poses; the single chair with the pillow allows seating for two, possibly more; pose choices forboth men or women. It says teal, but it has that nice weathered look that works on any porch you may have or just on the edge of a beach or dock.
GreenHouse Dining Table (3 prims) & 2 Bar stools (4 prims each), with Rug and Cape Bureau (7 prims) It's #46 on the Halloween Hunt - Copy/No Mod/No Trans.
Again, the sits are awesome, the look is yeah, light and breezy, but if it's getting colder where you are and you want a reminder of summer, you won't go wrong with this set.
And while you are redecorating, let me point you the newly introduced Pocket Gardens by Carter Denja & Stormy Aluveaux. Carter contacted me a week or so ago because I'm kind of a landscaping nut, and I went to look -- and I was really impressed with what they've done. The gardens are exactly as advertised: of varying sizes and prim counts so you can fit them to your tiny urban rooftop, or integrate them into an existing landscaping plan. They come with pose sets an optional base and a texture and/or theme menu for the ground and color type. Larger ones come with a optional hedge prims for privacy and water features depending on the size. I bought one at 44 prims immediately... but they were for purchase, so not really something I could post here. Except Carter is kind of awesome and she's put a small version (11 prims) into her subscribo. Join the group, get a garden...but do take the time to look around the grounds and take your next date there *grins*. (Two shops, Downstairs at Madhu's World Cafe - very cool place, and her conservatory at New Toulouse Algiers.)
And last, let me point you in the direction of SF Design and the fact that swaffette has not only been offering men free stuff since I first rezzed, she is currently offering up a new pack of something every month at her Penryn shop. This month, she gets back to the basics, with a fat pack of men's low rise trunks black, blue, burgundy, grey and purple. Swaffette has you covered from the casual to the most formal, and she's a staple for men's wardrobes in SL even beyond these basic briefs. You don't have to join a group or subscribo to get her monthly freebies... but SF Design is another place I check pretty regularly to see what she's got out that's new.
