Finding things to wear with the NX-Nardcotix mesh body is a bit of a challenge. Surely I'm not the only one with a soft spot for some of the less popular mesh bodies? You know, a love for the underdog kind of thing?

Cleaning out my wardrobe (reducing my list of outfits) is a continuous project. I trashed 10 outfits the other day and kept just one with this particular skin, which is no longer available and was part of a subscription box. That makes this look slightly more unique. I enjoy these little recycling moments.

I tested Birth's skin for the Legacy body and it applies to the Classic body too and looks quite good. Nothing seems to be really out of place. Even the nipples haven't slipped a lot. Both the applier and the BOM skin work.

It was a Classic Meshbody day

I dove back into my list of outfits, retired a few more and spruced one up a bit. The suit is an oldie but a goody.

I was only just done unpacking a load of gifts from one event and before I knew it I was at it again. Man Cave is a treasure trove this round.

Isn't it great when you can almost put together a whole look with gifts from an event? Sure, the head, body and body skin have been bought, but the skin for the mesh head, clothing, accessories and hair are all free. There's no such thing as a free dinner! No, but it appears to be a good time for anniversary gifts.

*crackle from needle on vinyl* "Heaven must be missing an angel" blasts from the speakers. It's a hat *needle skids across record*

I'm still cleaning up my outfits. From 400+ I'm now down to 384. I slightly touched up an old look with the Akeruka Mike mesh head to add to the collection of outfits / looks to keep.

Feeling spiky today.

I'm clearing out my wardrobe. There are 400+ outfits in there and a lot of them will be retired. Some old favourites however will be getting a very light spruce up. It's past midnight here, so that officially makes this Throwback Thursday for me. How do you feel about returning to an old look? Nostalgic or is it a case of "no way am I returning to that!" Personally I do feel just a hint of nostalgia, though I wouldn't want to return to my first complete freebie looks.

I finished the Menstuff June 2020 hunt. Phew! All that transporting zaps a lot of energy. I didn't quite manage to put together a whole outfit with the various bits and bobs, because I'm a bit finicky about things actually going together, but there is a handful of cute items in this hunt. Is it just me, or do most people's standards go up as they get older in SL? I'm sure I would have kept a lot more items of a hunt like this in the past.

I'm looking shiny today

Putting together a look with the NX-Nardcotix David mesh body can be a challenge, but I like the underdogs of SL. The little cloud in this case was the fact that I'm not able to wear the jeans shorts without its complementary patches because of glitching issues. The silver lining to this cloud is that the shorts were low enough to wear them with a tank top made specifically for this body and leave a teasing bit midriff on display. You win some, you lose some.

I took yesterday's look, tweaked it a bit, et voilà we have an ebony feather-winged fairy prince of eeehm... darkness?

I did another look with Catwa's Freya head while it's still a gift. That's ending soon (May 24th). I wonder what they'll do with it after that.

Thanks. I try to go for Fabulous whenever possible 😉

Sometimes a colour becomes the inspiration for a whole outfit.

One day I fly away...

Finally done tinkering with the Catwa Freya "unisex" group gift mesh head (gawd that's a lot of words to describe one thing!) I think I won't be the only one who says that while it's supposed to be unisex, female avatars are going to have it easier to create a great look with this head. Still, I do like a challenge 🙂

Have you clicked the Apply BOM button. I'm showing a screenshot of that in this blog post, if you scroll past the shots of the avatar. There could be some lag. I have experienced an issue myself a while ago and it appeared to be a problem with a server. https://billybeaverhausen.com/2020/04/26/for-a-little-less-episode-4/

It's been a couple of days with the NX-Nardcotix David mesh body for me.

It was time to dust of the Niramyth Aesthetic Enzo body and head and have another go at making a look for it.

I did some looks using the male Classic Meshbody. For those of use that are used to spend some money in SL, it may be difficult to remember that when we first entered this virtual word, we weren't all that quick with whipping out the credit card (or Paypal account). If find it satisfying to be able to say that guys can look like this for L$92 at the moment (while the particular mesh head I've used is a group gift). It's definitely not as good as what you can do with a 10,000 budget, but also quite a bit better than a newbie avatar, no?

I know the NX-Nardcotix David mesh body isn't a popular choice, but I stubbornly keep publishing at least one blog post a month for it. Maybe I have soft spot for an underdog?
