Georgia on My Mind

ASU - FaMeshed2
Thanks to the September round of FaMESHed I can’t seam to get Ms. O’Keeffe and Willie Nelson out of my head.  I blame the insanity on Belle Epoque for putting such a fabulous O’Keeffesque gift out at FaMESHed.
The Nerea Headpiece comes with an 8 color HUD that allows for changing the center and outer petals either together or independently.

This wonderful catsuit is Kaithleen’s contribution to the FaMESHed gift wagon.  It is sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh bodies. The catsuit’s base color is Rose and cannot be changed.  However, the stripes, straps, and zipper are controlled by a HUD that offers 19 color options for the stripes and straps, and 3 metal options for the zipper.

Here’s a closeup of the headpiece and a sneak peek at the gift from Empyrean Forge (EF).
Today’s casual up-do is a Midnight Mania fatpack gift from Olive Hair.  Though this hair is not on today’s board it will rotate back in.  Olive currently uses 7 fatpacks that are rotated for the daily mania, so if  you miss one simply keep dropping by until it is featured again.

Empyrean Forge’s Serenity necklace is unrigged for easy repositioning and includes a 7 color HUD with 2 metal finishes. It’s a lovely versatile gift, thanks EF!

Dancing Queen

ASU - DancingQCover
When a neckline plunges so far down it morphs into bikini line there is only one thing to do:  STRUT YOUR STUFF!
This daring romper from NyDesign comes in 5 colors with options of plain or lace for the bra and gold or silver for the metal accents.  NyDesign also has 3 other group gifts available and a row of Lucky Chairs.
ASU - DancingQbody
This romper’s revealing nature is perfect for showcasing our next freebie:  Altamura’s Jenny mesh body.  Jenny was a former hunt gift that Altamura has generously donated to the London City sim’s freebie center.  Jenny comes was a terrific alpha system and 3 foot heights that are compatible with Slink shoes.
ASU - DancingQback
Here’s a look from the back.
ASU - DancingQface
We left the packaged shape unmodified.  This is Jenny in her full glory.
You will find this hair along with several others at NYNE.  Keep in mind NYNE has two groups:  The free group, and a VIP group (not free).  The gifts to the right are for the free group members.

Astronomy 101

ASU - Astronomy101cfinal
Is it just me, or do those planets look curiously similar to pressed powder eyeshadow?  I have a sneaking suspicion our Iona is deviating from the lesson plan.
Musing aside, we’ve got a few nice finds to brighten up your Monday. So let’s get down to business.
ASU - Astronomy101back
Team All Spiffed Up discovered Safira this weekend.  Safira is a wonderful store run by generous owners.  Safira’s group gift wall is loaded with great items all of which are free
Iona chose to model Safira’s Noa dress.  Noa comes with a 6 color HUD sized for Slink Physique.  If you wear a different mesh body, don’t worry as long as you have a detailed alpha system you’ll be fine.  Iona wears Maitreya’s Lara body, and with a little trial and error on the leg alphas she was able to get the perfect fit.
ASU - Astronomy101eyeclosed
Look at the lovely shading in this eyeshadow!  It’s one of 12 great colorways featured in the Paulie gift set in Zibska’s marketplace store.  The set is packaged with mesh appliers for Catwa, Lelutka, and Omega systems.  Best of all, it’s free!
ASU - Anatomy101face
Under the Paulie eyeshadow applier is the Blair skin from 7 Deadly s[K]ins (7DS) Blair was recently a Midnight Mania gift.  Though you won’t be able to pickup Blair today, you can slap both of the free Midnight Mania boards located on the wall behind the main desk.
After you click the Midnight Manias pan left and check out the gift boxes. 7DS supports several shopping groups with nice gifts.
Crowning it all off is Summer, another great Lucky Board gift from Olive Hair.  This gift features the blondes HUD, has a streaks option, and comes with rigged and unrigged models.
ASU - Astronomy101shoe
These yummy espadrilles are still available at C&S.  They are sized for Slink/Maitreya feet, and come with a 40 color HUD that allows for overall color changes or separate colored laces.  You’ll find these beauties on the second floor.
ASU - Astronomyplanets
This fun 3D solar system picture is the September group gift at MUSU.  It also comes boxed with a smaller solar system compact.  The compact so strongly resembles holiday makeup sets purchased at a cosmetic counter that our poor Iona simply could not believe it wasn’t an actual applier gift.  She kept unpacking the original box thinking an applier set would be delivered.  Needless to say, that didn’t happen because this wonderfully quirky gift is a DECOR item only.
Iona’s Style Card:
HAIR – Olive Summer Hair – Blondes + Streaks HUD (lucky board/0L)
SKIN – 7 Deadly s[K]ins Blair Skin – in cotton candy (Midnight Mania/0L)
DRESS – Safira Noa dress – fits Slink Physique, 6 color HUD (group gift 0L/0L to join)
MAKEUP – Zibska Paulie gift – Catwa/Lelutka/Omega appliers 12 shade HUD@ SL Marketplace (0L)
ART –MUSU Solar Gift – 2 decor items (group gift 0L/0L to join)
SHOE – C&S Joy Sandals – Mesh feet, 40 shade HUD (group gift 0L/0L to join)

To Change, or Not to Change?

…silly question!
We’ve even found a classy new outfit at BlackRose to lure you back into your closet.  The Veronica Outfit is sized for mesh bodies and thoughtfully includes an alpha for classic avatar use.

The outfit is one piece, so it’s super fast to get into.  Perfect for anyone with a hectic social schedule.  Gotta love that drape and button detailing on the top.

Check out those stretch satin slacks.  The sheen is even nicer in person!

This glamorous hairstyle is a gift at Firelight for Shelbyfied.  It is packaged with rigged and unrigged models, a 2 color HUD, and a tint HUD.
In her last ASU appearance, our model Gabby, discovered Esode’s Zoe Skin.  She liked it so much it has become her default look.  Luckily for us, Zoe is still Esode’s featured group gift.

The necklace and bracelet featured above are part of Masoom’s gift available at The Free Dove.
newshoefinal
While at The Free Dove cruise by the shoe table to get these flashy fur boots.  The boots are rigged for mesh feet, and are not packaged with a foot hiding alpha.  However, that didn’t stop classic Gabby from enjoying these boots.  She simply kept the foot alpha from a pair of heels she was wearing on, and it worked perfectly.
 
Gabby’s Style Card:
HAIR – Firelight Destiny – Browns + color tint HUD (Shelbyfied gift/0L)
OUTFIT – BlackRose Veronica Outfit – Classic & mesh  (group gift 0L/0L to join)
SKIN – Esode Zoe Skin – Classic & mesh appliers (group gift 0L/0L to join)
