Hair Success

This was the problem with Voces' hair. Not that it is un-cute the way it is, but it wasn't what I wanted for the Bible Society. I played with editing appearance some more and got nowhere. So then I gave up for a bit and went to a different part of Help Island--the free store. I think that may well be an oxymoron, but there it was--a place to purchase things for 0 Linden dollars.

So I got some different clothes, some furniture for an eventual house...even a couple of pre-fab houses! And a couple of boxes with names like "Green stuff" and "Yellow stuff." You could also pick up new avatars. I left the green dragon but took the white wolf and the...ummm...banana. As I was opening those things up in my inventory, I looked in the inventory folder I had called "clothes." In it was not only clothing but hair--including City Chic hair. I removed it from the folder of things I was wearing and was left with the hair I had designed underneath all that. Here it is:

Obviously there is a picture-taking feature in Second Life.

Unfortunately, I neglected to save my new hair as an object. So, when I tried on the chartreuse hair that I got at the free store and wanted to change back...well, I had the option of the City Chic Hair again or another longer and more normal style from the free store. That new hair I could edit and I came up with something similar, but not exact.

Then I went on about the island. I went past the sign that said "No weapons" and another that reminded me this was a PG zone and I should keep my clothes on. Apparently there is a "mature" section, and (one would guess from the first sign) a section where one might get shot. Even a virtual second life isn't free from guns apparently.

I went to a line of music stands with barbershop parts, picked the alto, and Voces sang. I saw the instructions on how to move a beach ball, but someone seems to have taken the ball, as I couldn't find it. I got some free dance moves at the store, which may be why I couldn't dance before. I looked for the dance floor, but didn't find it again.

As I roamed to different areas, suddenly Voces began to run. She ran through a wall and got stuck in a sand dune. I couldn't move her at all. After a minute or so I heard a little ping and a message told me that the simulator I was on was going down. It gave me the option to quit, so I did. I have no idea whether I will come back with the same hair!
