Boat & Bikini Expo Part 2: Chaos at the French Rivera!

July 26, 2013March 28, 20143 Comments

DAY 2: The French Riviera features huge water displays and 20+ of your favorite fashion and home furnishing stores at The Boats & Bikini Expo. A cruise shipped docked in the French Riviera and a horrible mix up just happened! The passengers’ luggage was confused with deliveries to local stores, and now there are suitcases all over town! To participate in the “Boats & Bikini Suitcase Hunt,” collect missing luggage before the ship leaves port on July 31, 2013. Get rewarded for your efforts!

Boats & Bikini Suitcase Hunt:

INSTRUCTIONS: Visit the Hanalei Tourism Office on the Expo sim to start the hunt! Follow the clues and search for suitcases inside each store! You MUST complete this hunt by following each clue in order–skipping ahead is not allowed! Use the teleport boards placed around the sim to easily find each location!

Join us at 3pm SLT today, July 25, 2013 as we christen the launch of the Boats & Bikini Expo sponsored by Oceania Breedables. I’m very excited about this week-long event because the setting is the posh French Rivera. There are tons of top SL creators including the best boat/yacht builders, fashion designers and home decor stores: Chez Moi, beach street, Luas Store, Dead Dollz, Aphrodite Shop and Southern Seas Ships. From July 25-31st there will be a “Treasure Hunt” with prizes at each store. I’m an official blogger for this event and I will give you sneak peek this week of free hunt items and other “finds.” So grab your flips flops, shades, sunscreen and bikinis as we sail off to the Boats & Bikini Expo!

Happy 4th of July!

In honor of USA birthday, I wanted to bring you some freebie goodies and groups gifts for all your SL holiday celebrations. I love this holiday, it’s BBQ, family/friends, the Capital Fireworks, the Boston Pops and me singing patriotic songs way too loud. It’s remembering our forefathers and their steadfast belief in freedom for our country. And, let’s not forget the fireworks.

A few stores on The Runway Perfect Hunt have items for men and my friend Grant was nice enough to model the selected items below. There is also a blue felt brim hat from Xen’s Hat, speedo from Elysium, and matching poem costume from Bubble’s Design.
