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:

Join Genus Project’s group for free by pasting this link in local chat: secondlife:///app/group/b153906f-38dd-0dd6-d327-345bef9f446e/about
Go to the group notices tab and scroll down to the notice titled: Support from the Genus Project team
Click that notice to open it.
Click on the Open Attachment button.
That’s it, the gift is now in your inventory – unpack & enjoy!
BOM must be activated to use. Get the free activator from this marketplace link: Free Genus Product BOM Activator.
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!

| HEAD |Genesis Lab.Eva Bento Head v.3.8.5 – Beautiful Bento head with BOM (group gift - join fee 99 Lindens/20 Lindens)

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!

Now back to the freebies.

Mangula has 20 lucky boards! They are free for all to play, and change rapidly. Best of all, their creations also fit eBody’s Curvy mesh.

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!

| MAKEUP |Second Life Marketplace.alaskametro<3.Lila eyebrows wearable DEMO – auburn tattoo layers + Omega Applier (free)

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.

| HAIR |Dura.2015 Unisex Gift – Hat/Hair 5 color HUD + resize Menu (group gift/free) 
| EYES |Black Friday Bazaar.Stunner Originals.Positivity Eyes – 8 color HUD mesh eyes + appliers Catwa/Genus/Omega (group gift/free)
| TOP |Second Life Marketplace.Quartz Paris Couture.Mutiny Tee – fitmesh in tucked & loose versions (free)   
| SHORTS & SHOES |Second Life Marketplace.To Be Unique.2 Gifts – fitmesh (free)

I know, it’s been far too long since my last male themed post. So, I thought I’d start off by doing a quick Second Life Marketplace search for freebies. Which is where I found the free clothing for today’s look.

To Be Unique and Quartz Paris Couture supplied the male top and bottom clothing. All of the items are fitmesh, so are wearable by both classic and mesh avatars. Mesh avatars will probably have to use a bit of their alpha system. Overall, fitting was a cinch.

To finish off this look, you’ll have to teleport over to Dura and the Black Friday Bazaar. At Dura, simply join the store’s free group to get this beanie hairstyle from their group gift area. This style comes with a five color HUD, and includes a resize menu.

Group joining is also a must at the Black Friday Bazaar. However, the group is fee free so it’s really no problem at all. This event runs through December 1st and has over 60 designer booths giving out a nice freebie. Visit Stunner Originals’ booth to pick up these vivid mesh eyes. The gift includes mesh eyes and mesh appliers. Thanks Stunner Originals for giving a gift everyone can enjoy!

Until next time, shop happy.
