Here is a closer look at the full Colin outfit from Emerald Couture.  As an added benefit, Emerald Couture’s store group is free to join and has several past gifts available.  One of the nicest things about the group gifts is that they usually include matching shoes.  I just love one box dressing.

Alantori’s Facial Hair Gift is fantastic for anyone looking for that subtle indescribable something that forces passersby to take a second look.

The last item on today’s hit parade is our model’s mesh body.  It’s gorgeous, almost free (costs 1 Linden), Bento rigged, BOM (out of the box), includes a detailed alpha system, and has more feet & fingernail options.  The “Original Classic Meshbody” (OCM) formally known as TMP’s Beta free body is back in the best possible way!  These lovely “Original Classic Meshbodies” are Meshbody’s gift to the grid.

To get the full story about the OCM body visit meshbody.com.  But, if you’d just like to pickup your own copy follow these steps:

  1.   Join “The Shops!” free group:  secondlife:///app/group/62324162-b5a6-3521-5c5e-f44fae20c4a2/about
  2.   Activate the group.  This must be done before teleporting in order to access the gift SIM.
  3.   Teleport to the gift SIM
  4.   Click on male or female to teleport to the gift kiosks.
  5.   Pay 1 Linden to the kiosk.
  6.   Wait to receive the body.
  7.   Teleport home to enjoy!

The menu system with these bodies requires a bit of patience in the beginning.  The interface is not always intuitive.  However, the time it takes to learn the HUD is well worth it.  Your avatar will look great.  The neck joins are virtually indiscernible when using BOM skins.

Until next time, shop happy & stay safe.

I love the look of mesh avatars.  Even the coolest of classic avatars can’t compete with the extreme level of detail created by all those extra vertices.  Let’s face it, that perfect heart-shaped derriere will never happen on a classic avatar.

Thanks to the introduction of Bakes On Mesh (BOM), generous creators, and a bunch of phenomenal gifts scattered across the grid, this is the perfect time to ditch the old trusty classic avatar for a newer, smoother, mesh model.  Best of all, it won’t cost you a single Linden.  No kidding!

In Stylishly Distanced I featured the upgraded eBody v.8.6 gift bodies.  Today, I’ve got the perfect, and boy do I mean PURRRRRRRRRRRFECT, mesh head to pair with it! Genus Project is giving group memebers a fully featured Bento rigged, Omega and BOM ready mesh head.

Here’s a closeup of the Genus Head – Strong Face GIFT001.  This head is a beauty.  Genus has even included a 3 tone applier HUD with honey, toffee, and brownie skin appliers.  Plus, it comes with a wonderful animation HUD.  Getting this gift is super easy (& 100% FREE).   You can get it from anywhere on the grid by following these steps:
