Yesterday I went to BOOM to grab the rainbow Ion earrings that are free for sub-o members. While there I couldn’t resist picking up the other discounted items in the area. The slate Why Not dress is only L$25! I love this look with the Citron Vintage Rose heels from the midnight mania board at Ingenue.

I picked up the blue BOOM Girl mini dress for only L$5. The Miami Nights outfit is in the #1 grab bag for free! These make perfect little retro swimsuits.

In the BOOM grab bag #2 you’ll find the unisex lucky hoody for only L$10 and in bag #4 the unisex Gettin pants at L$10. I’m betting these look pretty awesome on men!

There is also a “Fast, Easy, Fun!” halter top on the top shelf for free. The pink Aion Addict t-shirt is only a dollarbie on the top shelf. There is a blue version made for the men.

The Golden Antique Floral dress and heels are the newest gift for Hudson Clothing group members. Again a perfect dress for this hair and skin combo! Speaking of which, the classic Beach Pale skin was sent to the Mango, Mango sub-o members recently. This skin has a very retro look to me… or maybe it’s the combination with the hair. The Serena updo is a 3636 sub-o gift and comes with the honey, midnite, sunkissed, and sunrise shades.

I also picked up the Kiss This Hunt gift from GryphonWings while tping around. I adore the hand-drawn GryphonWings clothing so this was a welcome addition to my inventory! There is a male and female red dusk Arum Tunic included in the gift. While you’re there pick up the other hunt gifts and join the sub-o!

Playing around with features in Viewer 2.1:

I have read lots of other residents tutorials on how shadows or as LL calles it “defferend rendering” works and this is how I got it to work (you’ll need a good graphics card, look at the system requirements on the SL official website):
– in preferences set graphics to Ultra
– hit Ctrl+Alt+Q to open the Develop menu
– go to Rendering > check “Framebuffer Objects”
– go to Rendering again > check “Defferend Rendering” > shadows is on!
Then I went to > World > Sun > Environmental Editor > Advanced Sky > and played around with the sliders on the Atmosphere and Lightning tab > Sun and Moon position and the East angle. My eyes turned black or just dissapear, but that seems to be a know issue, but since shadows isn’t official it will probably won’t be fixed any soon… soo you’ll have to wear prim eyes! I like it and I hope you do too and…. have advice for me 😉 (#daretoask)!! I found the ‘tips and tricks‘ on the secondlife blog also very helpfull to make my SL viewer 2.1 -experience better!
