Drop in on Metro Rain for a couple of gifts — one for guys, and one for girls.

Gifts from Metro Rain

Hope you like red!

I know what you’re thinking:

=O

That’s exactly what I thought when I got the notecard saying Exodi had male skins, and was having a hunt.

Arrival on the hunt grounds

Upon arriving at the hunt grounds, I wasn’t really sure what I was lookig for, in my excitement I wandered around a bit, looking at various things.

I sat down to think about it

After wandering a bit, I decided to sit and think about it. hmm.. where to start? The scarecrow would have told me to start at the beginning, so back I went to the beginning. Ah.. instructions, instructions are good.

Newly armed with the “how to” on the hunt, I went back to search; after all, everyone likes candy.

Lily variations

There are 23 different candies hidden around this spooky little town… each with a different surprise. Upon finding a candy, all you have to do is click it. You have a 50% chance of receiving the award you desire. ;)

Nazareth vamped, Cold Blood

Candies can be found multiple times, but each candy has a different “main” prize. When clicked, the candy will dispense either a copy of itself or the special prize item inside. The decision is random! Once found, the candy will disappear and reappear in a new location, ready to be hunted again.

Good luck!

Look for the portal and click on it to go to the hunt grounds, but not until 16 October. I’ve shown only a small sampling of the hunt prizes, there’s so much more!

“Don’t do it!” she shouted as he stood on the edge of the bridge. She ran to try to stop him, tears streaming down her face..

Or so she thought.

She was shocked to see him standing there after he had jumped; he appeared to have simply floated back up to stand where he’d been crouching just a moment ago.

He stood there, looking smug, impeccably dressed as usual. “You didn’t think I’d actually die.. did you?”

Hawk is dressed in the current lucky chair prize from RFyre, Timeless. Try your luck before Timeless is pulled.

It seemed like the perfect place to settle, the land was lush with plants, there was plenty of water.. and it was blessedly free of other people. Exactly the way they liked it.

See.. they didn’t like people snooping into their personal business. There was a pile of bones out in back of their old house lie testament to the fact that they didn’t like snoops.

It was this pile that had forced their hasty departure.

But.. change is good, no?

They built a home; no small cottage, mind you. The gate they erected to keep out trespassers should have kept any visitors away.

Although they didn’t want a hoard of people through the gate, the occasional visitor was easily dealt with.. they had to eat you know.

What are they wearing?

Belladonna and Belladonald, of course.

Belladonald will be placed next to the Pick’s Reward board in front of the shop and set out as a gift to the gentlemen out there; this offer expires Saturday, May 30th, 2009 at 11:50 PM LST.

ßelladonna, a wonderful gothic gown with tons of options, is available as a picks reward for the ladies. Have fun with this, mix and match the black rose lace with the silken damask layers, be unique.

Bishwear has great hair for girls, hot clothes, and now free skins for guys!

The free skin collection from Bishwear includes a sampling of five skin tones with and without facial hair. I’ve shown four of them below.

Now, to go with your new skin, guys, you need new swimwear.. how better to show off those newly sculpted pecs?

What? You say you’ve searched your inventory, and there’s no swimsuit to be found! pshaw! Then you need to head over to Mikan YA * Bratty Puppy and pick up this sweet manly collection of swim trunks.

After swiming (or just lounging around the pool), you’ll probably want to put on something warm, so grab this dollarbie sweater from Hell Bop over at the Car Wash sim. Your girl friend is going to want to “borrow” this sweater, so Floatie has wisely included one for her in the gift box. Smart!

Note: She might still ‘borrow’ your sweater.. but at least she won’t have an excuse.

Where to get it all:

I followed a notecard to Fantasia Fashions several days ago, and I’m so glad I did!

This shop has so many items you can camp for, seriously.. you can camp for clothes all day, and get a different item every 60 minutes. Good news for men: They have items for you to camp for too!

The fashions you’ll find here range from Medieval, to Gorean, to Egyptian.. so there’s a little something for everyone.

Just look at the wonderful outfits I picked up while I was putting together a few things for an upcoming (RL) art exhibit..

From the note card:

Greetings, and welcome to the NCD-LB Dark-DarkForge Easter Egg Mini-Hunt!

This mini-hunt will run from Midnight (PDT) April 6th through Midnight (PDT) April 13th. That means if you’re up and around at 11:59pm SL time (PDT) on April 5th, and the clock rolls over to 12:00am, the hunt has begun!  ;)

There is a total of *11* eggs to find, each filled with all sorts of goodies! There will be male items, female items, and unisex items. (Don’t worry men, we didn’t forget you!) :)

NCD has filled 5 eggs with a couple of current products, plus a few brand new never-released special edition items!

LB Dark has been hard at work to create all sorts of new goodies to fill 5 eggs just for you!

As a bonus, there will be one final “mega-egg” filled with extra-nice items from NCD, LB Dark, AND DarkForge!

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to get some awesome free stuff, and bring along your friends to join in the fun with you!

Furnishings and weapons shown above are from the DF Egg Mini-Hunt. Dress on Hawkreloo is a lucky chair prize from Ripped.

    PLEASE NOTE:  We WILL NOT give you any hints but this:
    - The eggs are small enough to fit in an average avatars hand, they are NOT super-tiny.
    - The mega-egg is slightly bigger than the others.
    - All of the eggs are brightly tie-dye colored!
    - This whole big building is three stores… NCD, LB Dark, and DarkForge. The eggs will be scattered throughout the building! (They will NOT be outside the building.)
    - Be sure to look high and low, on top of, under, and behind…they could be anywhere!

    No spoilsports!  This hunt is meant to be fun!

    We hope you have a blast!

    Nedria Cyr (NCD & DarkForge)
    Lucius Baxton (LB Dark & DarkForge)

    Above are a shower and vampire altar.. both with poseballs, part of the wonderful DF Egg Mini-Hunt.

      As an added note, be sure to click on the Midnight Mania boards and check those lucky boards! Lots of freebie goodness here!

      My good friend, Hawk, got a couple of wonderful free finds from Ripped, and offered to model them for me. These are really nice outfits, perfect for any elven or Gorean men out there.

      The one on the left can be yours for camping (I forget how many minutes.. sorry), and the one on the right is a lucky chair win. I love the detail on these clothes, the pictures really don’t do them justice.

      Dark Eden has camp-for boots (45 minutes if I remember correctly), that are suitable for males and females.

      These boots are beautiful in their rustic grunginess, but be aware that they are fully prim.. so if you need to alter them make a copy before you start to adjust parts.

      The camping chairs at Dark Eden are now located outside the shop, and there are other freebies waiting for you there. Don’t let that stop you from venturing inside though, Dark Eden has some of the coolest designs on the grid.. and many for obscenely low prices.

      A couple months ago I discovered a new to me shop called OMFG. Cool name, and kind of appropriate too since, when you seen some of the items in this shop, you mutter “..omfg..” to yourself. The stuff at OMFG is that cool.

      I’ve picked up a few of my favourite pieces, I’ll show the wings I picked up a bit later. But for now you can drool over the Big Brass Horns, Big Brass Mother Stompers, and the Geared Empress Cuirass I’ve shown below. The faun legs are from Titania’s Court, and hair is from !Mingo!. Everything, except for the faun legs, cost me 0L$ or 1L$.

      I’ve been looking for boots to fit over my hooves because my tootsies get cold walking through the snow. Thanks Perefim Cao for these great dollarbies, I’m still sitting here slack-jawed in awe of your generosity.

      Just a peek at some of the great items at OMFG (there’s a whole ‘nother wall not shown in this picture):

      Discord has some of the lowest priced, incredible clothing available in Second Life. If you are watching your L$, Discord and Bare Rose are the two places I would recommend to shop for clothing, hair, and accessories. Both have exceptionally high quality clothing for the price — for any price really. And if you’re looking for goth or fantasy wear, either (or both!) of these shops is a must-see first stop.

      When I heard that Discord had elven ears for 90L$, I had to see them. I have some elven ears I picked up from The Body Politik for more than twice that, and I’m quite happy with them. The Body Politik is one of those shops that hands out updates to it’s scripted products..which is very nice.. but for 90L$, well, I wanted to see what Discord had to offer.

      I wasn’t disappointed.

      These are really nice scripted colour-change ears. They have a few embellishments ( I like that!), and they stick far enough out from your head so that they don’t get in the way of most hairstyles. The colour change aspect of these ears is a bit tedious as it’s not menu-driven, but for 90L$ I can put up with flipping through the various hues to find the correct skin tone match.

      The outfit I’m wearing is also from Discord, and was 90L$. This is a GORGEOUS outfit that uses prims for the arm embellishments, the top of the skirt, and the neck piece. Hair is from Discord too, and was (I think) 99L$. I found that the hair was sized differently from the demo I tried on.. not a big deal since it is fully re-sizable (make a copy first!), but something to be aware of.

      The Discord sim can be a bit tedious to navigate (it’s gotten better than it was), so you might have to wander around a bit and look at all the great things it has to offer.

      =)
