That's right fellas!! Vendors all over the grid have banded together to produce a hunt JUST FOR MEN (not related to the hair product.. please don't sue me). I have been waiting for this one for a long time so big props go out to Colorful Sinister and all the vendors involved for making this dream a reality. I am going to make a disclaimer right now so listen up... if I mention a store (in BOLD letters) but do not provide a link it is because the slurl is on the notecard for the Hammer Hunt which you can get HERE (oh yeah... throw a tip in the big grenade while yer there). I have mixed in a few other freebies that are not on the hunt which I have collected on my 2 week hiatus (sowwy)... those I will provide the links to. Now... on to the goodness that is the CS HAMMER HUNT!!
Kore Sieyes over at Ekstras packed his hammer with 4 freebies which included the "Blu" jeans you see here. Ephemeral had what was probably the most well hidden hammer on the hunt but it was well worth the time it took to find it considering it had 9 items in it including this Wire Braclet, the Captive-Bead Earrings (quintuple) and the Captive-Bead Triple Eyebrow Rings you see here. Twisted Rose, who was one of the many that doled out 2 hammers, threw down their kickass Star Tank and Biohazard Chain as an offering for us bois. SN@TCH's Hustlers in the Grunge texture covered those socks I am all too well known for, lol. I love my belts... and Simply Spoiled didn't disappoint with their D-Ring Belt. I almost went into a full on seizure when put on this Rawk Out Pale Skin lessthan3 had in their hammer, it is honestly to die for... they also had the blue frost eyes you see here.
Mechanism is always showin' love to their customers and this week it was with not only a free braclet but also a member's giftpack which included this shirt in both black and white and a mini sweater for the ladies. SN@TCH's second hammer had the Hardcore Bondage Belt you see here plus another gift from Retox which you will see in a moment. Another item from that packed out hammer from Ephemeral is this Wire Choker. Bodies by Oh sent me into a frenzy again with their stunning Sinsation Male Pale Skin. Good male skins are hard enough to find and to think that these are FREE is nothing short of astounding. Sweeter than Candy also showed us guys some freebie love this week with a pair of Regular Medium Blue Jeans.
This hunt wasn't just about the clothes though. Sugar Mill had a couple of poses in their hammer and big thanks go out to Anicia Medici for not only providing this Breakin 2 pose but also for allowing yours truly to model in the ad for their new Electric Boogaloo pose set which includes 8 static poses and and an animated headspin that will have you reaching for the ibuprofen. Retox (located inside SN@TCH's store) offered up this Gas Mask and after searching like a mad man for their hammer you know damn well I was gonna find a way to fit it in... haha. Now... when I saw She's So Unusual on the hunt list I was a bit skeptical but being the shoe whore I am I celebrated in attaining the Green Hawaii Platform Creepers to add to my ridiculous shoe collection. While I was at Mudhoney I had a chance to speak with the owner Rayvn Hynes who was very helpful in giving me some hints to attain this Randem Designs Midget Shirt (I will leave it to you to pick this one up and find out just what it says). I also have on a dollarbie pair of VG Republic Jeans which Creamy blogged for the ladies... yeah they got them in mens too... WEWT!!! Although it is barely visible, Simply Spoiled had a second hammer that contained their Mystical Necklace and it this point I am on FREEBIE OVERLOAD!!
Time to chill out and grab a beer from FD Style's Budweiser Beer Tub... even though in RL I would never let such a liquid down my throat the free-ness of it made it feel somehow acceptable. Once again I have my beloved Urban Bomb Unit Pornstars slip-ons ($495L and well worth it) in full effect along with a Marijuana Necklace they were handing out at Rezzable's Footwear Expo. The skin I am wearing is a pre-release (keep that in mind.. this is an unfinished sneak peak) of iNFLiCT's Blacksmith Skin complete with facial tattoo in a much darker shade than The G would ever normally wear.
*sighs heavily and looks at the clock knowing he should be in bed but does not waiver in his commitment to the Free*Style minions* So... to close things out I just wanna say that there are many other items on the CS Hunt that I was not able to cram into this post so PLEASE take the time to visit each store because their generosity to all the bros in SL should be appreciated. The hunt will be going on until August 3rd. I also need to add that all of the pics above included Philotic Energy's Saxon Hair in Jet Black ($199L for a 3 color pack) and that Aemilia Case makes the best damn hair on the grid.
P.S. I bet you thought you had gotten away without me getting all schmoopy about the absence of my better half and one of your deeply missed Free*Style bloggers, Adaire. NOT SO!!! In fact she is the one that inspires me every day and you can thank her for urging me to trudge on despite her absence. I MISS YOU MORE EVERY DAY.
Ok... must sleep.. Good Night and Good Luck.

Wooooh I smell MAN! I'm going on that hunt just so I can perv over you all getting in a frenzy over hammers.
Great post G! and yay, it's won't be long until our beloved Adaire is back. :))
Great post, G! There are clearly tons of amazing finds within that hunt and uber thanks to those designers who got involved in the name of clothing the often-overlooked menfolk of SL!!
But aiii, the Schmoopinator is in full effect!! Creamy is right -- I'll be home soon. :)
ooh-weeee... scrummy post, great pics!
Niiiiiice! I'm so going on that hunt too. :0

i lol'd :D
well done gecko, and adaire: you need to hurry home betch!
I used the hunt to make myself a male avatar. And now I find me swiveling my cam around to stare at myself even more. xD
After seeing the Ephemeral items, I was convinced that I'd try them to see if they fit on female avatars too. I found that both the earrings and bracelet could be shrinked enough for me. The collars were a bit too big, but not ridiculous big. Yes I even wear men's items... so I tp'ed over to Bryce hair to see if I could find a short cute hair. But it's impossible to find the hammer there! And I wonder.... is it a hammer there at all?
@ Anon.. Bryce was removed from the list because they did not have their hammer placed along with a few others. You can obtain an updated list at the location I linked at the beginning of the article.
Relance is entirely stolen goods, lightly modded but immediately recognizable- theyve been reported to Redgrave and Laqroki and others and I cant believe youre promoting them.

At the time of this post (20th July 2008), no one knew that Relance were a bunch of thieves and I did not realise that we had ever blogged them at all, which is why it had never been removed (until now). So please do not accuse us of promoting them - we would never knowingly promote thieves, all you had to do was leave a polite message to draw our attention to it :/
