He Shoots, He Scores! (Repost)

Happy Wednesday, everyone! This week, I decided to get more exercise, change some of my poor eating habits, and end up with a healthier version of me! Yeah...had you going there a minute, didn't I? LOL! Seriously, my favorite find this week is a very good looking basketball uniform emblazoned with the words "New York" across the front. The hunt prize from the Boom Boom Pow Hunt, The Mensline Mesh Basketball Outfit from KAD Designs is great athletic wear even, if you aren’t a basketball fan. The jersey alone would fit well in an urban street wear outfit, but KAD Designs gives you much more than that! The hunt prize includes the entire uniform right down to the sneakers and socks. In you have no need of active wear, consider this: The outfit has some seriously fun role play potential in the right situations. The Boom Boom Pow hunt ends on the 31st of July, and this gift will set you back 1L. Hurry and grab it, it is a very nice gift.

Staying with the basketball theme, earlier today I saw that IAF had set out a goodie bag for us guys with multiple freebies in it. Among the four items in the bag is this basketball jersey with the number "01" on it and with the name "Hustle" on the back. This happens to be perfect for me since "Hustle" happens to be my nickname around the office. (I sold Love's stapler to Pru, then wrapped up Pru's stapler as a gift to Love. I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids!) The Jersey is black with silverish gray numbers and accents and would look as great out on the street as it would on a basketball court. One last note, in this very generous FREE gift bag IAF also included some chinos, a sweater, and a wool jacket/shirt combo!

Lastly, my hair is a great FREE group gift from Amacci! Truly one of the best places for men's hair on the grid, I was very pleased to hear they had put a male hair out recently and hurried over. The current FREE group gift is called "Leon" and comes in cinnamon. It is a nice length for guy hair; I call it medium length in my inventory and is a must pick up, since free hair for guys is such a tough find. I don’t know how long this will be out. So, like most of the end of the month items, it is best to run and grab it before it vanishes like the playoff dreams of a basketball team from a certain city that I will not specify.

That’s what I have for you this week. Whether you want to look good hanging out on the corner talking smack to your friends, playing a quick pick up game of basketball, or have an interesting idea for a role play in mind, these items should come in quite handy. Until next week my friends, take care and see you on the grid.-----WHC Riler

From Farmboy To Pop Icon!

Greetings from the Riler family farm, where we grow all kinds of healthy food that I won't eat. I remember once when I was a young pup and Mom asked me "Why won't you eat fruits and vegetables? There has to be something that we can grow that you’ll eat." Mom stared at me in complete exasperation. That was the day I learned parrots do not grow on trees. Also, I am told if they did, parrot trees would not grow in the Midwest. I have learned a lot about farming since then, most of it from countless hours of playing farmville on facebook.

The most important lesson I learned about farming is: Do not dress like you have just fallen off the turnip truck. (Wait, if you actually did just fall off the turnip truck, you probably are a farmer anyway, so dressing like that is good, too.) My point is, you are going to want to dress the part and the FREE Gingham Hunt Prize from Firelight Creations/MAN STUFF is perfect for that handsome farmhand look. The prize consists of the Leroy mesh shirt in red gingham and the Cole jeans in light blue denim. The shirt is very nicely shaped and, together with the mesh Cole jeans, which I also consider a keeper, this is a very masculine look. MAN STUFF is the division of Firelight Creations we have to thank for this FREE hunt gift, but included in the same box is a matching women's outfit from Firelight Creations. It consists of a matching red gingham top and some extremely short denim shorts. This is a great outfit for all your Daisy Duke fantasies yet still manages to keep it all covered. This hunt prize would be a very good start for a "Country" kind of outfit for club events and sims, as roleplay outfits or even could be part of your regular wardrobe. I may not be the kind of guy suited for farm work, but in this outfit, I could do commercials for brand name soda pop on TV. I could easily imagine myself drinking an ice cold can of pop, condensation dripping down my muscular chest, as my female co-workers in the office break room gawk in silent appreciation. Casual Friday – here I come! Kidding aside, this outfit looks great, and I could seriously sell a ton of pop in this.

Dia de los Muertos

Halloween is almost upon us and in America that means it's time for scary movies and trick or treating! Sometimes though we forget that other cultures celebrate this time of year in entirely different ways. Take the Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. It is a celebration of life, a festival during which families decorate the graves of lost loved ones in remembrance and create colorful "altars" with photos and favorite foods of the deceased. At night, the line between the worlds of the living and of the dead blur and allow the ancestor's souls a short visit to their families. The ultimate symbol of blending these two worlds is in the festive costumes depicting skeletons engaging in everyday activities. I found a perfect FREEBIE outfit for my Dia de los Muertos celebration at BOTANICA by completing their maze hunt. Explore the maze, collect all the luminaries, and trade them in for your choice of prize, including the male or female Day of the Dead costumes, complete with skull facial tattoos. They're colorful, perfect for the season, completely FREE, and fun to pick up! No group space needed! Just grab a friend and head to BOTANICA!-----WHC Riler

It's Halloween! Soon, that is. It will be Halloween. Coming up. Soon.

Lately, Celise has been pestering me relentlessly. So, I promised I would kick off my Halloween posts with her favorite Halloween costume of 2014. This is the current FREE GROUP GIFT from JAZZITUDE, a lovingly produced tribute to the British television show and international cult phenomenon "Doctor Who". The science fiction show features a time machine/spacecraft called the TARDIS (which is disguised as a police call box). The costume is adorable! One really great advantage is that this costume is appropriate for any sim. Yet, it still looks a little bit sexy to me. Depicted on the dress is the TARDIS and Jazzy, the creator, has included several subtle nods to different seasons of the show as a tribute to the Doctor. This is an incredibly unique costume. If you have any interest in the show at all, I know you will be delighted to have it. Special thanks to The Nag's Head Pub on the Creamy's Spot sim, a beautiful place to have a pint.-----WHC Riler


(On a more personal note to Celise: You are not English, have never been there, and do not have a clue about anything remotely British! You don't need to be English to wear the costume, of course, but stop it with the damned fake accent, it's very annoying!)
