80's Vibe

     The year's 1984, smell that Atlantic salt air. I've got a meeting with a low level dealing scumbag. Who I'm hoping will lead me to the head honcho. The supplier that's been flooding these Miami streets with Colombian powder. It's not always easy working undercover. Long hours, mediocre pay, broken relationships. Don't get me wrong at times it can be fun, but "you've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun."  It's all worth the payoff, putting these a-holes behind bars and getting drugs off the streets. A bit of advice, "the secret to success, whether it's women or money, is knowing when to quit. I oughta know: I'm divorced and broke."
     Cue the Miami Vice theme song. As I walk away from my car with the picturesque nighttime city backdrop behind me. When I first put on this outfit from Ascend my mind was instantly teleported to the 80's. I searched my inventory for my Sonny Crockett hair. Nearly getting lost in it's abyss mind you. Then I fell into my vehicles folder hitting rock bottom to find the Ferrari Daytona Spyder. This nostalgic look was born all because of Ascend's Hideo outfit. (An the fact I've been gravitating to watching old 80's sitcoms during this stay at home time.) The coat, shirt, cardigan combo is an all in one piece, colour fatpack. With separate colour fatpack trousers that are free as part of the Stay At Home Club. You'll find this in the Ascend store on the back wall. Right click the fatpack sign for the coat and trousers buying them for 1L. The 1L fee will be automatically refunded to you. I look good, think this outfit is growing on me. I wonder how Pru would feel if I wear it awhile. She might says something that Crockett once told Tubbs "I feel like I'm in the damned twilight zone." For now I'm gonna hop in my car, drive around the grid, wind in my hair, and Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight playing in the background. Catch ya later Pal.

Time Out

   
     Looks like this world decided we all needed a time out. In this uncertain time we can finally just sit back and contemplate things. Or go stir dang crazy at home. Least here in Second Life we don't have to be cooped up. I went looking for male freebies to pass the time. Granted the jacket was shared with me, from a friend, thanks, Love for the heads up. This jacket by Vuk has a really nice look about it. The jack comes with your hands in pockets. The folds on it are well done and give it a realistic look. It comes in two mesh sizes Belleza Jake and Signature Gianni. Includes a 7 colour changing HUD. Also a t-shirt not pictured, with a 15 colour changing hud too. The necklace I'm wearing  is a freebie from Noir. It is a group gift for the GALLANT Magazine Readers Group. The necklace has a colour changing HUD for the chain, pendant, text, and board. If your digging my retro Top Gun shades, they're by A&D Clothing, and are a free group gift. I know by now you got your eyes on my pants. These awesome looking combat pants are a lucky letter gift from Vagrant. Join their free group, stand around a while and your letter is sure to pop up. They only come in mesh sizes Belleza Jake and Signature Gianni. They also include a HUD to change the colour of the belt/buckle, and metal on the buttons. My final freebie comes by way of Wrong . The pose that has me leaning against the car is a pose from one of their group gift pose packs. I'll call it the bar stool pack, since it doesn't have a name. It is pose w-1 in the pack. Wrong has several other poses as group gifts as well. Their group is free to join and the group gifts also include couple poses too.  I hope everyone stays safe and keeps calm. Use Second Life to make the best of these uncertain times.
