Free eyes

On my freebiehunts I noticed there are some free eyes but not that many and not always that nice.
I downloaded these from OpenSim Creations. The textures were made by Mistletoe.The creator meant these eyes to be free and they may not be sold in any form.
I placed a box with all 20 pairs here:
My shop
Elvensong freebee wall

The eyes are mod/ copy. If you think they are too bright open appearance/ edit outfit/ bodyparts/
click the eyes and use the slider on eye lightness.
Enjoy!

Ghosts WHOOOOooo

There are ghosts and they inhabit other grids. They are the souls of avatars lost to us, like echos from other dimension, it is said, though no one knows for sure. What we do know is a weakness in the structure of metaverse has opened and they now wander. 
This installation continues an ongoing theme of reflections in virtual space. In this case the avatars are reflected from an identical sim in the Second Life Grid to here and visa versa. their movement, the avatars height and rotation are reflected on to this sim.
They are the shadows of shadows or, if you like the avatars of avatars of people.

This was the start of an intriguing note that was sent by Jeri Rahja from Inworldz Dreamz and Visionz Art Fests. Glyph Graves managed to do great wizardry by creating a channel from grid to grid, in this case SL and Inworldz. We are able to chat with the people on the other side and they appear to us as a ghost avi or the other way around. I had a wonderfull experience and some nice chats.

Regions involved are:
SL - LEA21
Inworldz - Translations

Ghosts and avies on the "other"side. When a ghost is in conversation it has colors.

The landscape fits the ghostly theme as a glove, desolate and mysterious. Dj G-Winz's matching music made the fest complete.

I met my Ghost and I sat on her :)

Natural habitat for these horrid slimey creatures ..

Everchanging Moon

The many faces of the Moon :) If tired of your looks but you don't have enough money to buy an expensive new skin, try a (much cheaper) make up. These are like tattoo layers, don't use wear but add instead. And uhm.. mixing and matching is rather addictive :)

Top left is a (bare) Kazumi skin from Jill's, top right I put on a lipstick from Cinnamon Girl. Smoke and pink eyeshadows (both Jill) for the lower picks.

 These make ups come from Cinnamon Girl. All appr. 25 izzies a piece.

And if you are still in for another skin, they aren't always that expensive. Just keep looking for them. This is not a make up but another Kazumi skin. Not very clear in the picture but it shows some teeth :D and even has a beautymark. A top skin for a very low price!

SF 'n LC

Back to some freebies and some almost freebies.
I tp-ed on a note from SF designs that mentioned the free roses n cream party dress.
Pleasantly surprised to see this elegant shop for ladies and gents and even more pleased to see and try on this gorgious dress.
The dress has a mesh skirt (all sizes) and also a flexi skirt. Mesh puffed sleeves and back ties.
I prefer the mesh skirt, brings a little edge on this lovely dress.

While in the shop I found another free (evening) gown. Maybe a bit old school but certainly not outdated.
If you like simple elegance, this really is a dress suitable for many occassions. To make the fun complete: the dress comes with different skirts a bow and black pumps.

Skin, hair and eyes are from London Core. I remember that the owner/ creator didn't have the time to maintain her business but her shop stayed by the grace of the region owners. Almost all skins, hairs, eyes, and clothes are marked down to 1 Iz. No new items are added but there's enough to shop till you drop and not get broke :). I do like this sweet faced skin.

The shape is my own  Ears and lashes are from Elfworkz and not for free (but certainly not expensive).

Gypsies in Bellethiel

Bellethiel is owned by cracker taggart, one of the initiators of the Gypsy group.

This group is for all in IW who want to hear about and join in with GYPSY camps, festivals and events and to develop intersim collaborations where gypsies can freely roam and gather together.

Bellethiel is the ultimate gypsy region, wild and untamed with many hidden surprises.
The region is still under construction but beautifull as is already.
Gypsies roam from region to region when invited but cracker promised a dance every sunday 1pm.  All with a gypsy soul are welcome.

Killing the lag monster

Two methods of greatly reducing crashes have been discovered:
Turn on Advanced menu with ctrl-alt-D
Go to debug menu:
Set XferThrottle set to 1500 instead of 15000
Set FSDestroyGLTexturesImmediately set to TRUE
Note that the second option flushes textures 'behind you' every 20 seconds, so can cause texture reloading and some additional lag when turning around. But... is preferable to crashings. : )

Freebies 3 - meet YUE

I have 1/8 asian blood running through my veigns so I think I'm entitled to become this asian girl once in a while. Meet Yue

Mysterious eyes and pouting full lips. Again I shopped freebies and groupgifts. Here's what Yue is made of:
Yue's skin (Maya groupgift) is from a shop named "Jill" Upstairs is a men's section named "Jack".
Jill has a lot of groupgifts, some freebies, (very cheap) bargainsales and luckyletters boards. The shop is bright, colorfull and mostly asian orientated. I didn't use the shape that came with the skin. I didn't like her that much ;-). I used a freebieshape (no mod) named "Asha".

hard to see on the picture but lovely on screen: I added the -freckles add on-  from another Jill groupgift (Jaymee skins). Another add-on painted Yue's lips this nice soft pink (Kazumi lip tint- Lush red). Liptints were won from a Luckyletters-board in the shop.
Yue's wearing Ilianor Illios necklace, a generous gift from one of the most talented artists I know. Earrings not shown in the picture.

Yue's dress and ugg(z)- lookalikes again come from Jill's. Use add instead of wear to put on the boots. Stockings were a freebie once from "Not so effing serious it's pudding" I went to the shop but didn't find them again. Fun shop tho !
