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!

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.

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!

Advent Me!

BODY |London City .Altamura.Jenny – Mesh Avatar w/HUDs (free)
HAIR |.EscalateD. .Advent Calendar Day 17 – Malory hair w/HUDs (GG/free)
OUTFIT |Emerald Couture .Advent Gift – So Wrong It’s Wright outfit (free)
Advent calendars are fantastic, frustrating, and festive all at the same time.  I love getting daily gifts, hate when I miss a day, then squeal with merriment every time I cobble an outfit together.  What can I say?  It’s an advent thing.
Luckily for us, there are quite a few advent calendars out there that allow us to open up missed days with having to pay for the privilege.  The first one I visited  is at Emerald Couture (EC).  EC has two advent calendars.  One of which is free for all visitors, and allows the collecting of missed days.  That is where you’ll find today’s cocktail dress, heels (sized for Slink high feet), head piece, and jewelry (not shown).
EC’s free advent calendar is great for anyone with Slink compatible feet, classic avatars (required alphas always supplied), and lovers of older style flexi flounced gowns that have been remastered with appliers.  Thanks EC for thoughtfully including all avatars in the holiday fun!
ASU - Sophiaface4
Hair lovers prepare to go into a box opening frenzy after you visit EscalateD.  Simply join EscalateD’s free to join group then get ready for a lot of clicking.  Their advent calendar also allows the picking up of past gifts.  Each hair comes with the winter color HUD, and many come with style HUDs too.  Seriously, try not to hyperventilate with all that silky goodness.  Thanks so much EscalateD for your generosity, a good free hair is hard to find.

Here’s a closeup of the heels included in Emerald Couture’s outfit.  The vivid print would also pair nicely with many outfits – i.e. skinny jeans and an angora sweater.


Now for the free & not quite free (but well worth the buy-in price) share.
… is hands down the most generous mesh body designer on the grid! There are currently 6 completely free Altamura mesh body/head combo avatars available on the grid.  3 are male, and 3 are female.  Simply visit Altamura’s main store to get the landmarks to these completely free avatars.

While you’re at the main store you should seriously consider joining Altamura’s group.  The join fee has been reduced to 25 Lindens for their 12 Days of Christmas gift event.  Reducing a group join fee during a gift event is practically unheard of!  Most stores I frequent increase the join fees during gift giving periods.

As a group member you’ll be able to collect both the upcoming and the past gifts from the 12 Days of Christmas event.  Did I mention the free bento mesh heads in the event?

I’ve been hunting freebies for All Spiffed Up for almost 3 years now, and though my avatar wears a different (not free) body and head as her default look, working with the Altamura free bodies has slowly made me a huge fan of their work.  I’m only sorry I didn’t know about Altamura when I bought my body.

My point:  if you are a classic avatar that has no interest in changing your skin, or changing your look with makeup then I highly recommend choosing one of the free Altamura avatars that is available.  The alpha system included with the Altamura free body is infinitely better than the alpha system that came with my expensive (well over due for an update) other brand body.  And, Altamura bodies have Slink compatible feet!  Think of all the lovely free shoes you’ll be able to wear.

Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to transition into using a bento avatar.  Plus, if you join the group not only will you have access to loads of gifts throughout the year, but you’ll be supporting one of the most generous and helpful creators in Second Life.

Zombie Hunter

ASU - Hunter cover
Jenny, Jenny, Jenny – all the oxiclean in the world isn’t going to get that blood out!  If you find yourself suiting up for a weekend of zombie killing this bloody tank top from COCO Designs is a must have.  It’s sized for Maitreya and Slink bodies only.  However, other mesh bodies can often wear those tops too as evidenced by our model wearing Altamura’s free Jenny body with the Maitreya top.
ASU - Hunter front
You can find the stadium jacket & light sword at the Gabriel booth in NEO Japan.  The jacket is sized for mesh male and female bodies, and includes black tank tops as separates.  Best of all, this is free for all visitors, no group join necessary.
Team All Spiffed Up thought you might appreciate a matching face mask to minimize the chance of ingesting contaminated bodily fluids during a frenzied bout of slice and dice.  Simply drop by the ASU headquarters to pick up your gift.
ASU - Hunter back
We popped by the Ajuda Brasil Voluntarios sim to see if any new items had been put out.  Boy are we glad we did.  We found this fabulous jeans/boots combo item in the Lavinia outfit by AnastyleLavinia is sized for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink mesh bodies.
ASU - Hunter eyes
Today’s last stop is Born To Die for these nice mesh eyes.  They come boxed with mesh plus system eyes, and an options HUD that controls size and brightness.  These eyes are only one gift of several, so join the free group and reap the rewards.

Dancing Queen

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.

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.

These insanely high platform boots are the C&S gift at the Aloha Fair.  They are packaged with a fantastic 40 color HUD, and fit Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, & Tonic bodies.  Of course classic avatars can easily wear them by using one of their own alpha’s.
