SGB - Festival by the Sea

There was a big party at SGB (Sounds Gravis Beach) recently and I missed it, but a good many of the party favors and some discounted items are still there if you visit and wander a bit along the boardwalks, including this free pack of tank tops from Connors. You get two version in multiple layers. The one left is the Organic tank, but there's a second with a faint strip on the fabric. Good, solid texture work on both of them.

You can also find two different pairs of swimming trunks from Connors for $50L each. The ones pictured is Batik Towel, with a vibrant print across the hips and a plain crotch panel. It only comes in a pant layer but does have prim cuffs and a drawstring detail prim.

Connors was also offering some bright batik style beach wraps for the ladies and some Hawaiian shirts for the guys (or unisex.) These discounts will be good until the end of August.

It's all about the beach at SGB (and the music) and further along the boardwalk will net you this very nice tattoo from Daisuki (two styles, front and back ink) and close to that is this board pose with board and another to hang on your house to make your surf cred solid from +PLUS.

There were other gifts to be found (pictures below): a Festa Sofa from +PLUS, a very cool clock from Chabinns!, a set of three lamps and a set of wall decals from {what next?}, SGB-A4 speakers from high_end audio system, household items and shirts. I didn't go into every store on the sim but some very well known designers are there (VitaMen, WMD, HyperCulture, {what next?}) offering free stuff or discounted items. There were also designers I didn't know, but was intrigued by.

So, put on your flip flops and take a stroll through the SGB Summer Festa.

Random: theosophy, khush, connor, jetcity, mischief boy

JetCity is back, paired up with Mischief Boy, for new looks at the best bargains.

Free from JetCity: Border Shirt in grey (also available in brown and blue. The deal with JetCity is, new releases are free -- when the next new release is put up, the older releases will cost you $2L...I think you guys can deal.

From Mischief Boy at the same location, 4 styels of hair for free: this is Trowa in black -- resize menu included.

If you haven't visited JetCity before, you should go, casual and a little odd, always fon and more than reasonably priced.

And from the MHO3 Hunt:

Connors (#34) is giving out this really nicely textured and shaded hoodie. Cuffs and hood and just enough color to make you stand out in a crowd.

I paired it with #84 Khush's MHOH3's offering of lightly ripped blue jeans. They do come with prim cuffs, nice torn fabric effect and pocket and waistband detail.

$50L Fridays can be on the slim side for guys, but today you want to hit {theosophy} for these very nice ankle boots. Called Aith - Coast, ankle height, smooth leather and articulated buckle. Upper is invisiprim, so you can't wear them with prim cuffs, but the fit is tight so a hem flare will handle it if you want to wear only the foot part. But go today because it's all over at midnight.


And last, but never least, Rosie Barthelmess at Sable Rose has put out this The Green Man choker (pendant style for women) for The Beltane Hunt - which is part of a series of pagan-themed hunts held throughout the year. In addition to the hunt items, you also get clues to a final prize area.

Old School

Turn of the previous century old, that is:

:F@C: [Fiction & Chaos] offered up this Clock maker's hat and hair as part of the Steampunk hunt. Was blogged here a couple of weeks back but it's fun enough to show again and the Steampunk hunt is over at the end of the month.

Via group gift (and available as a dollarbie from her shop) comes Erwan from Dany French Touch. Dany continues to give her group members fun and unique styles to play with, and she is now back (and much more suitably) in her own shop at New Toulouse Bayou (part of the Toulouse group of France-New Orleans/Creole influenced sims) Shirt, Vest and pants and a belt that comes both with and without your own copy of Le Monde. (And yes ladies, there are always gifts for you too.)

She also passed her members the slightly more formal Albin this morning: Lace collar and cravat, pearl brocaded waistcoat, white starched shirt and cuffs, black trousers.

Dany's Group costs $50L to join. but most of her gifts are later released as dollarbies, so there's no real way to lose here. (The way her group works has changed: Erwan is currently for sale in shop for $150L, Albin is a dollarbie. All the more reason to join the group. )

The boots here are (Shiny Things) Old Boots (for men) - hard black (not free).

The tattoo is the current *Connors* group gift (Mandara Art003 Tattoo) and the skin is The Librarian from iNflict (not free).

And while Not Strictly Old School, it kind of fits the vaguely Victorian theme to the theme. Hell Raise is currently in the lucky Chair for men at +Calamity+.

Hell Raiser has a closed vest and full skirt/coat bottom that (deliberately) never quite settles, plenty of chains and metal, A top hat to give you that punkish feel and dark nose-riding sunglasses that remind me of nothing so much as Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" video (albeit without the cake and dormouse.

The tattoos are part of the outfit as is the long muzzle loader worn on the hip. It's as much fancy as funky.

The hat and the belts are resizer controlled, so the whole thing can be a little script heavy. Once you've got them fitting the way you want, you may want to delete those scripts. The skin Kyr has on here has a scalp patch, but otherwise you'll need hair (unless you like the bald look.)
