May is packed with event birthday rounds loaded with enough gifts to make your freebie loving heart stutter, and your inventory groan.  You’ll need to join a few fee free groups, teleport to FaMESHed / We Love Role – Play / LsR Moda, and open up the marketplace to make today’s looks your own.  Let’s dig into the details.

Each of today’s looks features a different tone from the Camila Hair color HUD.  Not only does the HUD include 10 shaded textures, but it also has a tint picker area allowing for tons of variations.  Thanks Limerence for a great gift.
ASU - NMay3face
You’ll find this fun baby-bracelet styled necklace along with many other free and 1L items in the Broken Princess Marketplace store.
FYI:  Today’s looks could be the new you!  This entire avatar, from head to toe, is free.  All of the clothing and accessories were free gifts from groups with NO join fees.  The mesh head/body is the curiously cute Jenny gift from Altamura to the London City Sim.  Altamura’s gift bodies come with a wonderful alpha system, Slink compatible feet, and face and hand AO’s.  They are a perfect starter mesh body.  However, if you have no interest in changing your makeup, skintone, or wearing applier clothing, then they are simply perfect bodies.  The included shape is copy/mod, so you can reshape the body and face to suit your personal preferences.
Until next time, shop happy!

ASU - ItsAcover

HAIR|Lamb .Lovesong – color HUD fatpack (GG/free)
| EYES|Mayfly .Luminous Mesh Eyes – Dark Snow Leopard w/HUD (GG/free)

| SHOES |The Free Dove .DE.Boutique.Jasmine Heels – 8 texture HUD Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)

I’m not sure I’d stand there gawking up when shadows like that paint the ground.  Hopefully, it’s nothing more then a couple of Warbugs engaged in a dogfight.  If not, I hope our model knows how to run in heels.
Speculations aside, today’s look could be you.  Everything from our model’s head to her her Slink compatible feet is free!  Assembly is as easy as six teleports, five free group joins, and a few clicks in Second Life’s Marketplace.
ASU - ItsAjewelry
Here’s a closer look at the Square Chunk Jewelry Set from the marketplace.  It comes with earrings and a necklace in two shades.  Each piece includes a resize on touch menu.

I love the detailing on the Jasmine heels.  These heels are sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh feet.  They are currently available at The Free Dove, and come in eight fantastic floral prints.  You can also view the purple iris variation here.
Happy shopping!

All About the Legs

ASU - 2-20-19

HAIR|Queenz .Jade Hair – rigged/unrigged w/7 color HUDs (GG/free)
| JEWELRY |AJUDA BRASIL VOLUNTARIOS .JUMO.Albany Coat Set – Necklace/Earrings resize on touch (free)
| DRESS|Queenz .Promise Gown – 6 color HUD + sleeveless option; sized for mesh bodies (GG/free)
| LINGERIE|Kaithleen's .Universal Thong – w/15 color HUD; eBodyCurvy/Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)
| MANICURE |Livia .Metallics NO.1 Mesh Bento Nails – HUD w/3 polish colors & styles; Maitreya/Slink/eBody/Tonic (GG/free)
| SHOES|Ellnique Designs .October gift – basic black heels; Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (GG/free)

Sometimes ballrooms and their dress codes can be so very dull. That’s why I just love this gown from Queenz!  Instead of being a standard somewhat boring floor length gown, it features nearly scandalous slits that flash a whole lot of leg while managing to cover all the naughty bits.  As an added bonus, wearers can choose whether or not they wear the sleeves.
If you’re worried about accidentally being a flasher while busting a move, you can pair the gown with one of the best gifts on the grid.  What you ask could that possibly be?  Kaithleen’s Universal Thong group gift!  This thong fits mesh bodies like a glove, and remains hidden under most meshes.
ASU - 2-20-19hands
Pop by Livia to get these wonderfully pointy Bento rigged mesh fingernails.  They come in 3 shades, with 3 styles.
Remember, all of the stores featured in today’s outfit have groups that are free to join and offer several past gifts.  Which means lots of goodies to keep you shopping happy. Enjoy!

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.
ASU - fameshed2back1
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.
ASU - Fameshed2flower
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!

Pergola Days

ASU - PergolaDays cover
Happy August everyone!
The Hashtag District is kicking August off with the UP! SUMMER event.  You’ll have to get a wiggle on if these goodies appeal to you because UP! SUMMER ends on the 15th. Yes there are many “gifts” dotted around the event, however not all are free.  Not to worry, the gifts that are free make UP! SUMMER worth a visit.
ASU - Pregola Days F&B
This wonderfully naughty dress can be found right at UP! SUMMER’s landing point.  Simply join the free group, Inside your inventory, and click the two gift boxes on the ground.
ASU - PergolaDays texs
The Erika dress by Enigma Apparel is sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh bodies, and comes with a HUD offering 10 dress fabrics, 6 string colors, and 8 bow choices.  The detailing on the denim is terrific.   Thanks Enigma for including an ombre denim, we love it!
NOTE:  Erika does not include a built in panty.  Iona is wearing Kaithleen’s Universal Thong which is a free group gift.
ASU - Pergola Days face
Our next Hashtag District find is this lovely set of classic silver hoop earrings from Modern Nostalgia.
This fabulous mop of hair can be found at Olive.  It’s one of many great Lucky Board items.  The letters change fairly fast, and when we check it is very rare to leave Olive without getting at least one great hair.
These luscious red lips are just one of 6 shades included in Livia’s Just Reds group gift.  We blogged this gift last month, click this link for a preview of all the boxed shades.  The gift is still available, and we did neglect to mention one very important tidbit – Just Reds includes appliers for mesh heads AND classic lipstick layers!
ASU - Pergola Days skin
From the delicate facial moles down to our model’s toes Lake, from 7 Deadly Skins, is simply beautiful.  The Lake Skin Box included 6 skin tones each with blonde or black brows, and a cleavage or no cleavage version.  This skin was a recent Midnight Mania gift.  The Midnight Mania boards at 7 Deadly Skins are free for everyone to slap.  If you are skin lover then 7 Deadly Skins is well worth a visit.

Sci-Fi Noir

ASU - BRcover2
Fans of futuristic urban noir films are going to love the Hangars Liquides sims.  The environment completely immerses the senses, tempting even non-role play enthusiasts to dabble a bit.  Fortunately, we managed to hold it together long enough to snap a few pics for today’s post.
Recreating this look will take 6 teleports, 5 free group joins, and one quick marketplace grab.  Let’s get this party started!
The simple yet stylish gradient sweatshirt is a group gift from Revelation.  It comes with 11 color options sized for mesh bodies only.  However, since it’s a sweatshirt it would be easy enough for classic avatars to scare up a suitable alpha from their inventory.
Mission awesome skirt requires a visit to Cremosas Store.  It is boxed for mesh bodies only and supports: Altamura, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Eve (Slim, Pulpy), Maitreya, and TMP.
ASU - BRback
If you’re looking for a bit of protection from sooty city rain this marketplace find will do the job nicely.

ASU - BRmanipedi
Need a fresh manicure?  Livia is the shop for you!  Whether you’re looking for classic subtlety or bling, it’s all here.  These are only 2 of the 6 options to choose from in the Calla group giftCalla includes appliers for Maitreya, Slink, Vista, and Omega.
ASU - BRthong
Now, before you ask why we have gratuitous sexy pics thrown in let us point out that our model is wearing this fabulous thong under her skirt.  The thong fits like a glove, and it easily fit under all the bottoms our model was thinking about blogging which could be why Kaithleen’s has called this the Universal Thong. It’s sized for most mesh bodies, including ebody curvy, comes with a 15 color HUD plus two metals.
ASU - BRshoes
C&S is today’s final stop.  The Joy Sandals fit Maitreya and Slink, have 40 color options plus the ability to change the laces independently.  Thanks C&S for this lovely summer gift!
