MIA and Body Basics

http://slurl.com/secondlife/MIA%202/166/31/34

MIA (Men In Action) has a freebie item available on Mondays only. There is a new item each week, and the day after its available as a freebie, it’s put up for sale, so this is a one-day-only offer for each item.

Today it’s a blue towelling bathrobe which comes in different lengths (medium shown).

Whilst there I noticed there was a “treasure hunt” of freebie bags which are scattered around the sim. There’s 30 altogether, I didn’t find them all but I did pick up a half dozen or so. All of these contain MIA-made clothing. During the hunt I noticed another store on the boardwalk, called Body Basics.

Body Basics, by the same person that runs MIA, provides free skins and shapes, hair and eyes. All of them are made by Ayla Holt herself, so there’s no concern about stolen items here. There are a number of complete avatars as well as seperate skins, hair and eyes. A few of the skins run way too dark for my taste but they’re not bad.

So here’s the range of skins and shapes, some shown with a few of the freebie clothes I found in the treasure hunt. (I think the shapes are all the same, or at least they’re extremely similar, though I’ve not looked at the numbers yet. They’re all modifiable).

While I was sitting there, I got bitten by a vampire. A woman approached me asking if I was interested in joining a combat RPG, I said no. She asked if she could animate me for something so I let her, and she bit me in the neck. So I now have a free “bite mark” too, and a lm to the game in case I change my mind.

Total cost: L$0 and 0.25 pints of blood.
