Where has 2017 gone? It’s already December!! 7 Deadly s{K}ins has a huge Advent event running, another Mystery Box, and new events coming up!
Advent Event
December brings us another huge skin giveaway event! From December 1 through January 1 7DS is giving away free skins every day! You must be a VIP group member to take part in this event.
You’ll notice that the group join fee is up to L$1000 for the duration of the event. This is because the value of the free products is so high the designer didn’t want people popping in just to snag the skins and run.
The Advent Event replaces the group gifts this month, so don’t worry if you don’t see your regular gifts on the group boards.

Update June 2020: The Mesh Body Addicts blog appears to have been removed. As such this post is very outdated. Broken links have been removed, but the post is staying up for reference.

Yes, you read that right!Vista Animations is currently beta testing a bento head. Vista is arguably the largest, most popular Animation Overrider (AO) company in Second Life. Their bento hands enjoyed popularity when they were the first to be released on the grid. With plenty of bento heads on the market will Vista’s be as much of a hit? Read on to learn all we know and see the head in action then let me know what you think!

What We Know
Vista’s Facebook page opened the beta testing for the new head (named Lia) up to 30 lucky users on November 17, 2017. The first public version of Lia will be available Friday. The full price will be L$2500, however invited beta testers get it for half off.
7 Deadly s{K}ins is also a part of this release! Their skin Saga (shown here) is included in the Vista HUD. 7DS’s November group gift Chantal (skin & shape) came with the following information via notecard:
“This month’s group gifts come with a little story, A story to soon to tell.”
In addition the shape is called “7 Deadly s[K]ins – VISTA shape Chantal Group” leading me to believe that7DS VIP members have a free skin/shape for Vista’s new head already! Not a group member? The group is currently L$225 to join and includes skins every month. Next month the group price is increasing as there is an advent event planned with tons of free skins for group members. If you want to join the time is now.
This outfit is one of my favorites from KS. I really like the peekaboo cutouts. I’m such a sucker for showing skin under clothing. The cutouts and the sleeves are covered in the same transparent material. If you look closely you’ll also see the tops of the sleeves have some cool lacing as well.
The dress style itself is called Celia. Shock is the HUD which gives the black/white and black/grey patterns. You can see the other pattern in the Pics & Credits section below. This outfit is materials enabled so you can play with that if you like a little extra gloss to your look.
The dress itself fit my Maitreya body perfectly right out of the box. The HUD is also clear and easy to use. I do want to note that the designer is very kinda and super helpful if you do happen to run into any issues. That gives products an extra bonus in my book!
Celia in Shock fits Slink, Maitreya, TMP, Belleza, eBODY, Tonic, and Classic bodies. It’s available for L$199 exclusively at the KingbalStores booth at Fashion Dazzle this month. The booth has other outfits starting at L$150 so make sure to check them out, too.
The Samothrace definitely fits the geometric theme of this month’s Fashion Dazzle. It looks like something you’d see on a runway. It comes in five different color options, each with a different design in the middle. You can check all of them out in the slideshow toward the bottom of the post!
The outfit comes in the five standard fitmesh sizes, so make sure to grab a demo to confirm it fits your body before purchasing. I initially had some issues with my wrists and part of the torso sticking out with the Maitreya body, but these were fixed by making some tweaks to my shape and the poses I was using.
The French Quarter boots pair wonderfully with The Samothrace, as to be expected. They are comfy looking boots with five color options. Each can be viewed in the slideshow a little further down.
The shoes come in one standard size. This won’t be an issue for most people as you can just remove or hide your feet if they cause any issues. The boots fit wonderfully on my Maitreya body.
The French Quarter boots are also available at the booth for L$50 a pair.
Sweet E’s designed the cutest tuxedo dress and it’s available exclusively at this month’s Fashion Dazzle!
Coco
The Tuxedo Stripe Coco Dress is a nice formal/semi-formal piece for your collection. I’m a sucker for the corset lacing on the back and I also love the front flower accent!
Coco comes with the following:
