The Things I Do....

I don't change my skin or shape very often. In truth, while I have a lot of skins in my inventory and several incarnations of my current shape, I tend to find one I like and stick. I've been the skin and shape you usually see me in for nearly six months. That said, sometimes it's fun to shake things up, to see if you can come up with an entirely new look -- and do it without breaking the bank.

Here are two looks, vastly different, and with the exception of a few pieces, free or dollarbie finds.

If you want to slide into your gothic androgyne look, hit up [Kosh] for the dollarbie Luvox Male Skin, currently up. It will be gone next week so grab it now. The shape I'm using here is the Josh shape that came with the Belleza release to group members. (Yes, you do have to pay $250 to join the group as was previously mentioned.)

After donning my shape and skin, I grabbed the shoulder bag also from [Kosh], and the Rusty Skulls necklace. The hand bracelet is a freebie from [GQ Start] and the other wrist wrap is from [Sable Rose] (this one was not free, but there are a set of denim wraps there that are.)

And next door to Kosh is [Concrete Flowers] where I picked up the Checked Jeans and Free Swag shirt. the hair is Bryce: Onion from [Savoir Hair].

The second look cost a little more clothes-wise, but as was announced in the group, [Fear & Clothing] is having a sale at the main store in Londoom, and [Perfectionist] is also having a sale -- this is a good time to let go of some Lindens. You can find jeans and some shirts for $50L, which is not a bad deal. But amid those sale items, look close because this skin is a freebie from [Perfectionist], as are the jeans*. The jacket is a sale item from [F&C], ($65L) and the undershirt is from the F&C store at Sn@tch City for $1L (or free). In this case, the hair is not free -- this is Army Crop from MADesigns ($300L) and you need a hair base scalp to wear it which the [Perfectionist] skin has.


*a note on the free jeans: they show up as secondary shirt layers, and older version of the clothing layers you some times see. You can wear regular shirts with them, just be aware that the clothing layers are a little different than what you usually see.
