Kick ’em to the curb – Swag Bag August 2016

Ain’t got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain’t got no money in my pocket, but I’m already here
And now the dudes are lining up ’cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick ’em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger

The first Swag Bag landed today, and dayum boy is it worth the moolah. 15 top class items for guys, from clothing to hair, homewares to accessories. I’m just showcasing three items here, because I got online late and opened everything in one helluva hurry so I could get my blog on ;-)

There’s a lot of really  great stuff in this box (and the box itself is outstanding. I do love me a nice package…) but for me the ‘wow’ moment came when I tried on this fan-fucking-tastic jacket from Lapointe & Bastchild.

Eleven colour options for the jacket detail, and 22 options for the t-shirt (which you can have either showing or not) – 11 plain colours and 11 designs.

And here’s a gander at the back:

That’s a lot of jacket-n-tee for your buck, but I’d expect nothing less from L&B, who are renowned for generous fatpack HUDs for very reasonable prices. Massive thumbs-up for this one!

Second highlight for me was the hair from Modulus. I got in the studio for a fully-lit one on this, so you could see it better.

Included are versions for CATWA and TMP heads. The CATWA one worked perfectly on Skell’s system bonce. I really love this one, and I can see me wearing it a lot. The HUD contains four ‘essentials’ colours (dark brown, black, white, and dark red).

Last on this quick feature is the tattoo from Letis Tattoo. Including system tattoos and appliers out the fucking wazoo  (seriously: Signature, Adam, Slink Physique, The Mesh Project, and Omega, plus Belleza and Maitreya for the ladies) this comes in four strengths: 35%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. I’m showing the 35% here:

Swag Bag is a monthly subscription event, costing L$1500 per month. If you miss a pack, you can purchase after the event, but at double the price. (I’m not sure what’ll happen with this first month, since the item from sYs was not available, so this August pack might not be available to buy until that’s been fixed). You can also pre-pay for two months of Swag Bags at a slightly discounted price. From the look of this initial pack, it’s well worth it.

A reminder of just how much value it is: the full pack is L$1500 and you get 15 items. That’s fifteen items for L$100 each.  It’s a no-brainer, my sartorial darlings. I’ll be digging through some more of the goodies tomorrow.
