Ran across this entry at SL for Nowt about some nice free and low-cost items, and decided it was time I upgraded some things (like myself).

Visited Beauty Avatar (modifiable “model” shape, and some very nice skins called “Selkis”), House of Curios (where I got high top sneakers, stilettos, and some new dress boots, all with multiple textures), and Fab Free.

Ended up with this pretty skin from Fab Free, which MAY become my new favorite, as my old standby from Pixel Spa, Garnet, is a couple of years old.

Then, head to the FabFree store, turn left and walk past the first row of floor vendors, and grab this lovely free Lily V2 fatpack from Exodi. You’ll get four skintones, with light and dark brow options and cleavage/non-cleavage options in each.

Er, I recommend the cleavage option. It also works a lot better with a “pro” shape rather than the one I’ve been rejiggering (I can never quite get my boobs right. This is a problem in RL too, which makes it that more annoying in a world where I can shift things around with sliders)…

So I modified the free “Beauty Avatar Model Shape” to have my face to what I’ve grown accustomed, and wa-la! Makeover. Moar pictures later, maybe.

But then through happy chance, I ended up playing bumper car soccer with a new acquaintance, Paul Creighton, who mentioned that he’s recruiting aircrew for a new venture – avoiding imperial entanglements – involving cargo, expediting, tourism, and so forth. Sounds like… FUN.
