The Witch

ASU - The Witchfront
It’s not a Halloween costume roundup without a few witch ensembles thrown into the mix.  Remove the hat and broom from the this outfit, and you’re left with a great look to hit the goth clubs in tonight.
ASU - The Witch close
There’s just something about a rich black brocade that sparks dark fantasies.  This lovely dress is a gift from WellMade.  It is sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, TMP, and Tonic mesh bodies along with 3 fitmesh sizes plus an alpha for classic avatars.
Team ASU liked the dress so much, they were inspired to make a brocade hat to complete the look.  Simply stop by the All Spiffed Up headquarters to pick up your gift.
This deliciously dark lipstick is a great set currently available at Izzie’s.   The set includes 3 black shades (glossy, matte, and runny), and alpha layers plus appliers for LAQ/Omega, Catwa, and Lelutka. Best of all, it’s a free gift for everyone visiting the store!

We pinched these heels from the Alaya gift at Hilly Haalan.  They are sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh feet.
Our final item today is a fun pair of socks we found it the marketplace from KA Piercings.  The punk socks snake grey have two looks, one long and the other short, and are packaged with tattoo layers and mesh appliers.

Deep Water

| AVATAR |Second Life Marketplace.Orange Nova Avatars.Slugger Shark – rigged mesh/8 skins & wag HUD (free)

Feel like doing some deep water exploration?  I’ve found a great mesh avatar to help you navigate the high seas, or brawl on the shores.

Meet Slugger Shark, a highly detailed fully rigged avatar with 8 skin options and a tail wag feature.
ASU - Shark front
Slugger Shark can be found in Orange Nova Avatars marketplace store.
ASU - Shark side
What a fantastic hunk of shark flesh.  It’s hard to believe this baby is free.
ASU - Sharkback
Can those deltoids, trapezius, and latissimus dorsi muscles be any more ripped?  Slugger Shark is an awesome avatar with great movement.

Thanks Orange Nova Avatars, we love this guy!

Harley

ASU - Harley face
Halloween look #7 is based on Margo Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad.  Thanks to the wonderful gifts gathered from several designers we were able to capture the essence of the character.
The smudged Harley Quinn makeup is a freebie from LV Designs.  It’s an applier only set.  Though it was created for the Bimbo mesh head, it’s an Omega applier and worked perfectly on our model’s non-Bimbo head.  To capture Harley’s smile we did make two mods to our mouth shape.  First, we widened the mouth width, and then we increased the corners upward slant.
ASU - Harley fullfront
No Cabide’s Harley Quinn Set is a complete outfit-in-a-box.  The top, shorts, and garters are sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh bodies.  Appliers for the socks are also included.  The collar and shoes are unrigged/resizable.
ASU - Harley back3
The body tattoo is a marketplace find from Isuka Tattoos.  This gift comes with both tattoo layers and mesh body appliers.
ASU - Harley bracelet
Completing the look are two great items from Blackburns marketplace store: Spiked bracelets, and the bat.  The bat is unscripted and can be worn on either the right hand or back.  It comes with a Crazy HUD that includes dances and swings.  This is really a fun gift.  Thanks Blackburns!

Medusa

ASU - Medusa cover
It’s Medusa time!  To make the 6th look of 30 Days of Halloween we’ve combined freebies from EMO-tions, the Linden avatar Kara, and MELONopolis.  Good news, this look can be worn by classic, mesh, or mesh/classic mixed avatars.
So, let’s dig in!
ASU - Medusa Back
Our model is actually wearing the Kara shape from Linden Labs with a system head paired with a mesh body.  The Kara shape is modifiable so if you choose to wear it adjusting is easy.  We added a light green tint on a tattoo layer over our models regular skin to add a bit of green/gray to her skin-tone.   To duplicate this tint on mesh body parts set  Hue: 134, Sat: 79, Lum: 30 to get the right shade.  This will be too dark, so simply click up your slider to lighten.
Classic avatars, or classic head wearers, can stop by the All Spiffed Up headquarters to pick the Medusa tint tattoo.  Keep in mind layering tattoos is crucial.  Wear the Medusa tint first, then layer your makeup on top to keep those eyeshadows and lipsticks nice and crisp.
One last tip for wearing Linden avartar items,  most of the of the components (ie shoes) are not fitmesh and will not fit all shapes.  We’ve found simply reducing your shapes leg muscles usually fixes most problems.
ASU - Medusa hair
This dainty mask is a marketplace freebie from MELONopolis.  It comes in 3 colors and is copy/mod.  We added a 10% glow to the mask to help with our lighting.
Now for the inspiration for today’s look:  EMO-tions’ Medusa group gift hair.  This snaky nest is a wonderful fit for your role play needs.  It’s a fatpack, comes with Catwa, Lelutka, and Omega hairbase appliers. I t’s also copy/mod, allowing for even further enhancement.  FYI, the Medusa style is only one of many group gifts available at EMO-tions.
Ending this post is one of team All Spiffed Up’s all time favorite freebies:  EMO-tions’ *BANGS* GIFT.  You can find the *BANGS* gift on the floor to the left of the gift area. This is a no hassle freebie that any visitor is welcome to take, no group join required.  Our model is wearing the V6 bang style in conjunction with the Medusa hair.

Time Out

ASU - Time Out cover3
Happy Saturday everyone! It’s day 5 of ASU’s 30 days of Halloween. 
The constant stream of events, hunts, and designer showcases keeps us so focused on grid trotting that we often overlook great freebies Linden Labs built into our inventory.  There are over 40 complete avatars built into Second Life.
Think of the Linden supplied avatars as an avatar salvage yard.  Focus on the avatar’s parts:  hair, eyes, clothing, attachments, and then pick the bits that interest you for use on your own avatar.
ASU - Time Out frontback
Today we’ve remade the Linden’s Petrol Sue into something mesh body and head wearers can use.   The inspiration for this look is LF’s Halloween Skin gift at the BeYou2Ful Event.  It’s boxed with appliers for Genesis Lab, Maitreya, Catwa Heads, Slink, and Omega systems.
ASU - Time Out face
This is what the skin looks like applied to a Maitreya body and a Lelutka Cate head.  We were able to create this look by using the original Petrol Sue shape plus one modification.  The leg muscles needed to be reduced to fit the thigh holster.  You’ll also need to choose a hairbase to go with the Petrol Sue hair since it’s a mohawk.  The dark hairbase from our mesh head fit well with this look.
ASU - Time Out shoef
The skin has such delicious cuts and gashes it seemed a shame to cover them with the Petrol Sue boots, so team ASU decided to make our October gift a pair of boots.  They’re grungy, blood spattered, and perfect for this outfit.  Team ASU added a gun and knife to the October gift box to fill those empty holsters.
ASU - Time Out Petrolsueclassic
Classic avatars aren’t entirely left out of today’s outfit.  They can always wear the original unmodified Petrol Sue avatar pictured on the left. Or, they can wear the skin over their existing shape as our classic model Gabby has done on the right.  Gabby even found a free tintable hairbase in the marketplace just in case you want to change up the original look.

Tales From the Crypt

ASU - Cryptkeeper cover
Halloween and virtual worlds are a perfect match!  There’s something insanely fun about not being confined by the physical when choosing a costume.  Makeup and prosthetic appliances are completely unnecessary when one can simply be whatever their mood dictates.
For those of you looking to shed your normal avatar, team All Spiffed Up has found a wonderful spectral skeleton avatar in the marketplace.
ASU - Cryptkeeper back
The creators at Plausible Body thoughtfully made the avatar copy/mod so that the wearer can adjust the tint, transparency, and glow.  Our model changed the tint and glow for the photo shoot.

Freak Show

ASU - FreakSquarecover2
Team All Spiffed Up presents 30 Days of Halloween.  We’re kicking off the first of 30 costume posts with a great gift from Altamura.  You can find the Halloween Red Avatar at the BeYou2Ful Event.  She is a complete and fully clothed avatar.  Wear the gift, put on a hair, eyes, and shoes then you’re good to go.
ASU - Freak back
Altamura has done a fantastic job creating a beautiful yet macabre Halloween avatar.  We recommend using an Altamura shape with this mesh body.  If you don’t own any of the Altamura bodies check these posts ( Dancing QueenLook, No Hands! )to catch a ride to a sim that has one of the free Altamura bodies and use the packaged base shape.

This face makeup is subtly creepy in a good way.  To heighten the scare factor we added black alien eyes from the marketplace.
