Logo-verkill Or Incredible Free Boots?

Hello fellow Scavengers, I have a very short and simple post today. Recently, a store called ODDITY popped up on my radar with a fantastic FREE group gift. It has been out for a while so if you are interested in having a very nice, highly detailed set of boots you are going to want to run there. The boots are leather textured MESH and come in black and brown with options for light or dark detailing changed via a hud. The hud is super easy to use and very well thought out, I was impressed. They are probably the best free boots I have ever laid my hands on but there is a minor problem. Oddity has rather liberally marked them with the name of their store, something which most times would mean I would not consider the item for posting. That is a personal policy of mine in general but this item was so good, I was forced to override that policy. You can see from the picture the embossed leather company name is large but somewhat subtle and the other logos are not obtrusive. Factoring in how I feel about the branding on these boots, they are still "The best free boots I have found"! That should tell you something about how highly I rate them and the quality of the items at Oddity in general. They are likely only going to be out for a limited time so if you like the pic, go grab them and give them a fair look. I bet most of you are going to love them. See you on the grid!-----WHC Riler

Post-Apocolyptic Dream Date!

Our next guest stays eternally young by prowling the desert wasteland, picking up scrap metal and killing mutants for their fuel credits. He likes long drives in the desert and skinning and cooking rabbits for food. Please give a warm post-apocalyptic welcome to Riot Bayn!!!! Yes ladies, after the nuclear holocaust, after the global war against the undead, even after the mutant uprising that follows, you might still have to date someone. Riot and the remaining horde of mildly-mutated survivors are counting on that. It should come as no surprise to anyone that he already has picked out his clothes for that future event. The rugged-looking MESH vest Riot is wearing is the Menstuff Hunt gift from BROCADE TIGER. It has a fantastic masculine look, and the back is emblazoned with a pair of angel wings, which evoke a vest worn by my favorite character on a great television show. I won't say which one, but a friend once called it a "Soap opera with zombies". I MUTED HER! As worn in the pics, the jacket has been tinted a darker brown, something easily done if needed. I love the look of this vest.



Riot is wearing the Winter Kat Jeans from the Menstuff Hunt gift from NEKOLICIOUS and straight out of the box they are gray but can be tinted as shown here to match other garments. The Winter Kat outfit consists of a bright red MESH holiday sweater, the MESH Winter Kat Jeans (which would be great for most male wardrobes), and a set of animated ears and a tail to complete the neko theme. VESTIGIUM'S Menstuff Hunt prize "Bruises III" contributes the scratches and roughens up Riot's face some, which gives him a very authentic tough-guy look to match his nearly-authentic tough guy attitude. His shirt is a very nicely textured brown long sleeve Henley shirt which is a FREE Christmas Gift from ASHBURY. It looks great whether you choose to wear it alone, or under another item of clothing like a mesh jacket. I own a number of mesh jackets, so an excellent system shirt (layer style clothing) is especially valuable to me. It is available until the end of the month and is a MUST pick up since it can be worn with such versatility.



Riot's ride comes courtesy of SURPLUS MOTORS, and was not free. However, now is the perfect time to mention that both Surplus Motors and KNIGHT PERFORMANCE make fantastic cars, some of which are free group gifts. The level of care and detail in the creation of these cars is evident in the pics. So, even if you can't get tickets to appear on a future episode of Post-Apocalyptic Dream Date, you can look like you belong on the show: rugged, handsome, and able to take care of yourself in a world of unimaginable violence and brutality. You can have that look and still have enough money left over to buy that issue of the National Enquirer you saw at the fuel depot. Oh look! President Kardashian is posing nude again to get the budget through Congress. I always knew she would make a great President.-----WHC Riler

Slipping Into Fall.

The weather is changing now in my area of the world. The days become shorter and cooler. It is quite a sight to see, the leaves changing. Soon, it will be time to go up into the mountains and look out over the breathtaking sight of the trees draped in their autumn colors. Of course when you do, here is a little tip from someone who is in awe of such grandeur. STAY IN THE CAR! It's cold out there and utterly miserable. There is no reason at all to leave the comfort of your fossil fuel burning bubble. That's why man invented the window. What I really look forward to more than the turning of the leaves is the change of the monthly LAVAROCK group gift. Once again, it does not disappoint. This time around, they are offering the lito male jacket-2, a beautiful, dark brown, MESH leather jacket. As usual with a LAVAROCK FREE GROUP GIFT, the textures look so soft that they tempt you to touch them. The styling, like all my favorite Second Life clothing, looks like a piece I would own in real life. They have come up with a another gift that became my new favorite jacket the instant I put it on, and the most amazing part is that it's FREE! There is also a monthly gift for women at the store and it is this same jacket in black leather, with a few subtle differences. One difference is the tiny pentagrams on the two lapel buttons, just another small detail on a wonderfully detailed jacket.  Also worth noting is the hair I am wearing. It is the FREE Welcome Gift "MINATO" [male/unisex] from ARGRACE. It comes in a fatpack of 40 colors and is resizeable. This hair was also shown in black on an uncredited Riot Bayn in a previous post entitled "A Low Rumbling Whisper In The Darkness". Given the difficulty in finding freebie/cheapie male hair, it is a definite pick up if you haven't been there already. Also as a bonus for female avies picking up the welcome pack, there is another female hair in it as well. Time to get in the car and do some sightseeing: the leaves are beginning to turn and it really is something to see. Stay warm.-----WHC Riler
