Hilly Haalan currently has a sale on; 88 items for L$88 each, all fatpacks. This outfit takes the top and pants from one of those outfits, and the jacket from another. The boots, also from Hilly Haalan, are L$99 on the MP. A bit more than I would usually spend on an outfit but the jacket in particular will fit over a variety of other things so that will get a lot of use.

Hah, nearly everything in my inventory is something I've not worn before, because I recently came back after a few years absence and I've been raiding every group gift and freebie I can find. I'm trying to do a "Look of the Day" for every day (when I log in, which isn't every day). The dress and shoes are from the Free Dove (Dress is by Ydea) and the leggings are a marketplace dollarbie from Addams. I probably won't wear the dress again because it glitches with my hair. And it's only in this one colour. The leggings, certainly, and the shoes - maybe, until I find some better ones. The colours in the hud kind of suck, except for the black and white ones.

I'm always up for a bargain, and this is my fave outfit right now. Top: Blueberry, MP L$1: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Blueberry-Laced-Tops-Free-Gift-3/13535749 fatpack, about 30 colours Jeans: Sweet's, MP L$1: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Sweets-Mesh-Skinny-Jeans-Denims-w-texture-HUD/22006582 fatpack,6 colours Boots: Belle Epoque, MP L$1: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Belle-Epoque-Agate-Boots-GIFT/22159440 one colour =Gabrielle=

Mine are light green, a dollarbie from Inkheart. I wish I had green eyes in RL.

I guess I meant "Omega-compatible"

Thanks everyone. I ended up checking out 7 Deadly Skins and found one that works really well with my mesh head, it looks great. And the old classic body skins do match the new applier skins so I got one of those too. Slink feet, I already own so I upgraded them, picked up an omega applier for them too. (For some reason the Plastik appliers didn't work, neither on my slink feet nor on any of the mesh body demos I tried. They applied fine to the upper body and head but the lower body and feet just stayed grey. I dunno if they just disabled those parts because it was a demo, or if the appliers were just broken, but if it was on purpose, it's a dumb way to do a demo). Here's the result: I did try the Slink Physique demo too, but I think I will just get the hands and leave it at at that for now; I don't feel a need to go for a full mesh body yet. I think I'll wait and see what changes when Bakes on Mesh comes in. Did I mention how much I love this head? Obligatory credits: Head: Lightstar, Zach L$1000 (bento but doesn't animate, except for blinking) Skin: 7Deadly Skins, Brent (Steam), with a random older one for the classic body, both together cost $1100 Hair: No Match, No Hint (group gift, L$50 to join the group) Hoodie & Jeans: Hawker's House, I think these were an old group gift too but I've had it so long I don't even remember.

Yes I know, the problem is there aren't many male skins out there with omega head appliers. Plenty for omega bodies but 95% of the head skins are catwa only.

Up until today, yes. Yesterday, I decided I wanted a complete new look, and I couldn't find any decent system skins to work with it so today I bought a mesh head. Which has now caused its own problems because while I really like it, it's Omega not Catwa, so I still can't find a skin for it. But the default included skin is still better than any of the classic skins I could find. Seems like the only classic ones left for men are poor quality or stolen. I did find a Catwa/Signature combination whilst trying demos that was perfect, but I can't justify spending L$10k (£30) on it.

Can anyone recommend me any good male skins that have options for both Omega heads AND Classic bodies? I'm looking for a pale skin with blond or light brown brows. Not goth/vampire-pale, just kind of English-pale. So far I have found two; Plastik and Lure, I'm looking to find out if these are my only available options or if there are any more I can try. I love the Plastik one (Barrus) except it has NO FEET!! They are literally completely un-detailed, not even any toes. The Lure one is okay but I don't like the face as much. Right now I am using the Lightstar mesh head (which I really like) with the included skin (which I don't). I'm not looking to upgrade to a mesh body just yet, unless you can recommend one with Omega that is L$1500 or under.

You can make the shape yourself, but a quality skin will run several hundred dollars or more. This skin and shape are former group gifts from Curves. Skin and shape (modifyable) L$10 on the MP. There are four or five to choose from. Doesn't look like a 20L skin and shape to me... :matte-motes-smile: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/June-Curves-Gift-Men/4928744 (Listing says free in store but is no longer available there).

I experience this a lot. I was advised to just right-click where the object should be and it reappeears every time.

Thank you. Incidentally i use the Tuty's AO but there's another very nice freebie AO by Oracul at White Tiger Island (for men and women). Does anyone know of other stores offering free or group gift mens hair? I like long but I'd also like something shorter as well.

Try this one: http://imgur.com/qdT8AM8 No wait, it will let me upload a pic here now. In any case the link at the top is to a higher-res image.

Here's my result of 2 weeks, mainly picking up tips from the Fab Free blog and joining a few groups for the gifts. The L$12 it cost me I earned by playing Linden Realms for half an hour.
