I am curious as to whether or not there is a way for someone who does not have a Second Life account to purchase and send Lindens to my account (as a Christmas gift, for example)?

I have been searching the marketplace for two days now, in an attempt to find a black, floppy, witchy, wide-brimmed hat, much like in the picture I included. I have been failing miserably, so if anyone knows of a decent place to buy such an item, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

The clarification was much appreciated, @HarrisonMcKenzie! Thank you kindly.

Newbie here with a quick question: I started off as a default vampire avatar called "Elleria." I now have a Maitreya mesh body (Lara) and a Catwa head (Cami), and I also purchased mesh eyes (simply titled "customeyes"). I want the shape of my character's eyes to be large and round (Google search Billie Lourd for an example), NOT slim (like Taylor Swift's eyes). The Cami head has slim eyes and is not Bento, which apparently means that I am unable to make the shape of her eyes rounder. Someone suggested that switching to a Bento head would solve the issue; however, regardless of the head I demo, I am unable to detach the original "Elleria eyes." Is there a way to do so? Am I missing something completely?!

@angeoco, @Marianne Little, & @Morgan Rosenstar, these are the first detailed, comprehensible explanations that I have received thus far, and I cannot even begin to thank you all for taking the time out of your day to write them. Super excited to look into all this.

Hi, All!I signed up for Second Life not too long ago and am beyond confused and overwhelmed. Everyone in NCI has been incredibly friendly, but I have received far too much conflicting advice and spent tons of money buying things that they’ve advised me to (that I don’t even know how to use).For starters, would you mind defining (in SUPER simple terms) what exactly all of these words mean:- Alpha?- Mesh?- Bento?- Appliers?- Skins?- Omega?- Relay?I have followed directions and USED some of these things, but have no understanding as to what they DO. A comparable situation would be teaching someone who knows nothing about fish how to set up an aquarium; you can tell them to connect the airline tubing to the air pump and then to the air stone, but they most likely will have no clue what each of those items actually DOES for the tank.I started out with a custom avatar called Elleria (the Vampire). So far I have purchased a Maitreya mesh body (Lara) and a Catwa head (Cami). However, when I add those two items and then go to “Edit My Shape,” I am either unable to adjust all of the settings OR my body pops right out of my dress. I would also like my skin to be very pale, so other users recommended that I purchase:Folder title: Omega System Kit - Catwa- Omega System Relay HUD Catwa v1.7 (no modify) (no transfer)- Omega System Relay HUD - Catwa v1.8E (no modify) (no transfer)- Omega System Kit - Catwa v1.8E (no modify) (no transfer)- Omega Catwa HUD Skins v2.17 (no modify) (no transfer)Folder title: Omega System Kit - Maitreya- Omega System Relay HUD for Maitreya v.07 (no transfer)- [LNL] Omega System Kit - Maitreya v1.7 (no transfer)- Omega System Kit - Maitreya (no modify) (no transfer)- Omega System Kit - Maitreya AF Folder title: {Bambi} - Catwa Bento Cami Skin Appliers + Shape (CATWA)- {Bambi} - Catwa Bento Cami Shape (CATWA) (no copy) (no modify)- {Bambi} - Catwa Bento Skin Appliers + Shape (Catya Bento) (no modify) (no transfer)I have NO clue what ANY of the above means or how to use it or why so many items are needed just to have a pale skin color, haha.If anyone is able/willing to teach me the ins & outs of SL clothing, as well as help me make a character with a long face, large/round hazel eyes, a slender body, and pale skin, PLEASE let me know. I will even send pictures of my computer screen for reference and compensate you for your time messaging back and forth with me, if need be. I feel like giving up, but I was so excited to play this game. ?
