Happy 17th Birthday Second Life!  This year the celebration seems bigger and better than ever.  There are 200 merchants participating in the birthday Shop & Hop event.  Since each merchant sets out a free gift, that’s a staggering amount of goodies to collect.

I’m not even going to try cover all the cool things I’ve unpacked.  By the time I got all the pictures cropped, and style cards linked the festivities would end.  Instead I’ll tempt you with one awesome gift I found, and list a couple of links to help you navigate the 10 regions.

As if 10 regions of shopping with free gifts in each store isn’t enough, there is also a separate SL17B gift only area with over 150 interesting gifts.  Plus, for those of you that enjoy working for your gifts, there are also the ever tricky Swaginator Hunt gifts waiting to be discovered.  The party shuts down on July 12th, so let’s get busy.

My favorite SL17B gift is Addams 500 Linden gift card.  It’s fabulously generous, and more than enough to put together a complete outfit.  Simply click on the gift board at Addams’ booth to automatically receive a store credit.  Spend the credit by right clicking a vendor and selecting menu – then pay with credit.  *FYI – Addams group join fee is only 19 Lindens and offers several great fatpack gifts including today’s necklace.*

Our model’s skin and shape are Genesis Lab’s lovely gift.  The Rosie BOM skin comes in 6 tones, each of which include a no-brow option. Add hair from Limerence, a headset from Foxy, and a manicure from Koffin Nails to almost complete the look.

You’ll have to tear yourself away from all the birthday madness to pick up these lovely eyes from Demicorn.  Thanks Demicorn for creating such a unique Stay-at-Home Club gift.

Until next time, party on peeps!

First, let’s talk about the Stay-at-Home Club.   Four fantastic Second Life Residents have created a website to help us all find a bit of joy during these trying times.  There is nothing to join.  Simply visit the website, click on the gifts tab, choose a category, then browse the gifts.  Click the pictures to obtain the gift links.  All of the Stay-at-Home gifts are free.  Giving yourself a makeover doesn’t get much easier than that!

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.

AS - 2020 Genus StrongF

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:

  1.  Join Genus Project’s group for free by pasting this link in local chat:   secondlife:///app/group/b153906f-38dd-0dd6-d327-345bef9f446e/about
  2. Go to the group notices tab and scroll down to the notice titled:  Support from the Genus Project team
  3. Click that notice to open it.
  4. Click on the Open Attachment button.
  5. That’s it, the gift is now in your inventory – unpack & enjoy!
  6. BOM must be activated to use.  Get the free activator from this marketplace link: Free Genus Product BOM Activator.
  7. OMEGA activation is NOT free.  It costs 149 L in the marketplace.  Here’s the link:  Omega System Kit – GENUS.

This stunning Bento head is the Genus Project’s effort to help us “rebuild, and survive self isolation…”  Thank you GENUS for the fantastic gesture!

In these perilous times, now more than ever, we need diversions that lift our spirits without endangering our health and welfare.  Bombing around in Second Life is a great way to stay social and have fun, all while doing our bit to flatten the COVID-19 curve.  Who doesn’t love a good game of Greedy Greedy?

I know it’s hard to think happy thoughts at this moment in time.  However, a few laughs, a bit of fun, and a couple of hot new outfits can go a long way to improving our outlook.  Luckily for us, there are several creators around the grid actively trying to give Second Life residents a reason to smile.

All of the tops and bottoms featured today are free gifts from Mangula.  The first two pictures show variations of Mangula’s current subscriber gift (subscribing is free).  Here’s an excerpt from the message accompanying this gift:

“This is an important moment in which we no longer enter SL just for pleasure but also to clear our minds of everything that is happening in the world and that in one way or another affects us, that’s why I thought about making this new Set as a #FreeGift in support of all of you…” – Mangula

This fantastic gift includes both the dresses pictured, the heels, optional sleeves, plus a shirt length model, and a great 20 color texture HUD that separately controls the main fabric and accents.  Thank you Mangula for your caring and generosity!

*style information same as above*

I’m going to depart from my normal mention of only free items to briefly discuss Genesis Lab.  I first discovered this talented creator years ago at Tres Chic.  Gensis Lab gifted visitors of the bygone round with a gorgeous albino mesh head.  I was so smitten with the gift, I immediately teleported to the store and joined their group.  And, before you ask, the group is not free to join.  But, the join fee is an extremely modest 99 Lindens considering the store’s group gift wall.

In support of their group members, Genesis Lab has slashed the price of today’s featured mesh head.  Here’s a look at the message sent out to the group:

“A lot of people have to be limited with personal contacts, stay and work at home because of the Covid-19. This difficult time it is very important to be be vigilant and keep calm. As a gesture of our kind support and care we would like to make a present – head Eva 3.8 BOM with 99% discount ♥️” – Genesis Lab

That’s 20 Lindens for group members.  If you are not a member, you’ll need to join the group for 99 Lindens, which would mean a total layout of 119 Lindens for this fantastic Bento rigged head. Folks that’s as close to free as something of this quality gets.  Eva is beautiful and worth every penny.

Thanks Genesis Lab for caring and sharing!

These highly configurable sandals are a group gift from Queenz.  The group is free to join, and packed with wonderful gifts that also include mesh models sized for eBody Curvy.

Let’s take a moment to talk about the eBody Shop!  Recently, this designer released a major update to their beautiful, but extremely limited, gift bodies.  They now include Bento rigged hands, are BOM ready, and are completely free at certain locations.  The BOM feature won’t work strait out of the box.  You’ll need to pop over to eBody to pick up the free BOM applier.  Trust me peeps, it’s worth the teleport.  This upgrade has moved eBody’s gifts to the top of my best free mesh body list!

Here’s a closer look at the Eva v. 3.8.5 BOM enable head.  If you decide to add this beauty to your mesh head arsenal, do keep in mind that it does not include a BOM skin.  Which of course is why I’ve included the link to this lovely BOM compatible marketplace freebie.  I love that M&B included browless and cleavage options! The Juliet Skin works seamlessly on this head and body combination.

Stay safe everyone.

Is that a pink pineapple?  Why, yes it is!  I have to admit, I had absolutely no idea this seemingly mythical fruit even existed.  At least, not until I opened K&S’s Rare Fruit Pose Fair gift.  The colorful pineapple props peaked my interest immediately sending me on a fact finding mission.  Pink pineapples do exist.  And, though there may not be one in your local market, thanks to K&S you can now have your very own to pose with in Second Life.

Of course, K&S isn’t the only vendor giving gifts at the fair.   It happens to be Pose Fair’s 10th Anniversary, so the gifts are plentiful.  Simply join the free event group to collect all of the unique gifts.  You won’t be disappointed!

AS-aliceface

Today’s outfit features several items from stores that normally have group join fees.  However, for a limited time both Legendaire and Carol G (main store). have set their join fee to zero Lindens (free). Best of all, both stores also leave out past gifts.

The lovely sunset toned braids are Wasabi’s current SLF&O gift.  Finish off the look with a charming citrus handbag from Micamee, and whimsical sunglasses from Pure Poison.

And, that my friends will do it!  Until next time, shop happy.

Is it just me, or is 2020 becoming the most freebieliscious year ever?  There are simply not enough hours in the day to gather, let’s not even mention blog, all of the awesome goodies flooding the grid this year.

Luckily for us, my honey and I agreed to have a quiet low key Valentine’s Day at home.  Which means I have plenty of time to share all the goodies I’ve been collecting this week.

The outfit featured today is from Suna Design.  Suna’s Valentine’s Day gift is an awesome 500 Linden gift card for its group members.  Joining is free, so everyone can enjoy!  Best of all, the gift amount will get you several items or one fatpack. Thanks Suna for the generous gift.

AS - Feb Valb

Here’s a back view.  The texture on this dress is exceptionally nice.  I also like the detailing of the halter ties and shoulder straps.  Gifts in Suna Design are dotted around the store.  Be sure to pop into the gift room that houses lots of gifts for various shopping groups.  That’s where you’ll find today’s pastel hairstyle pack.

If you’re like me, spending a gift card takes about as long as a sneeze.  So, to keep you busy I’ve compiled a short list of a few nice stores with fantastic Valentine’s Day gifts. Have a great day everyone, and shop happy!

The Goody List

  1. Suna Design – 500 Linden gift card
  2. Queenz – Free Hunt: 2 (easy to find) teddy bears packed with lots of gifts
  3. The Free Dove – Special Valentine’s Day gift table
  4. Shop & Hop – 4 packed sims with each store giving a completely free gift!
  5. 7 Deadly Skins – Free Hunt:  Hunt objects are difficult to find, but well worth the effort!

I have to admit I’m a sucker for a fine looking avatar.  Dressing the females for free is a snap.  Finding free furry and fantasy avatars isn’t all that hard either.  But, dressing a male avatar for free, now that is a challenge.  Which is why my a l l s p i f f y.com’s New Year’s resolution for 2020 is to feature a new male themed post once a week.

Luckily for us, Amazing Creations made this week’s task a snap.  This wonderfully textured suit is the current group gift in the men’s section of the store.  It’s a complete outfit in-a-box, which means the shoes are also included.  Plus, the outfit includes a color picker HUD, and comes sized for both mesh and classic avatars.  Did I mention there is no group join fee at Amazing Creations?

AS Feb2020 detail

Here’s a closeup of the jacket, shirt, and tie.  Notice the detailing on the jacket pockets.  One of the nice things about the included HUD is that it controls each section separately.  Since the suit is boxed with a basic white shirt and tie, using the color wheel HUD allows for unlimited combinations, making this an extremely versatile garment.  Thanks Amazing Creations for a great gift!

Happy shopping guys.
