[Is there any way to overlap actual Avatar Alpha Overlays?]

I've been trying to get my hair alpha and my shoe alpha to stay on.. It can't be done, can it?   :(  With the new mesh system out; do you think that will change relatively quickly or will it remain the same, only one alpha on your avatar at a time.. or am I being a complete dolt and missing something.

[Pictures when you log into Second Life.]

I was just curious, I see these beautiful screenshots of different and diverse places when I go to log into Second Life, yet there are no Landmarks or even stating where these locations are. Is there some sort of place on the actual Second Life site that has the list or none at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
