Yes, that's it: academic. *coughs again*) Hey Presto, and you're not the first to bag one of these........two others (no names) have also done so.

Scylla Rhiadra 16,644 Posted January 22 (edited) 2 hours ago, BelindaN said: But there is a way............. You mean, buying a Maitreya body? (And new appliers, and, and?) Yeah. And my understanding is that Lara is pretty comparable to Slink Physique, which is what I have now. But I think it's probably more time, effort, and money than is really justified by the chance to wear a pretty small selection of things not currently available for Slink. And . . . I do actually have a couple of items that I wear that were made for Maitreya. Fitting them on to Slink requires a bit of fudging -- and it wouldn't work with something as form-fitting as this dress -- but occasionally, I can cheat . . .

They certainly have a large selection of nice short styles that are like this. My current hair is Dura 23, from their "Boy&Girls" collection. It's made from 255 sculpties (the max in a linkset) and has an ARC near 100K, as I recall. I haven't visited their store in years, and it'll be the first place I stop if I ever decide to update my look. I have a lot of androgynous clothing I got in one fell swoop when Phoenix Rising went out of business many years ago. I don't look forward to finding that same look in mesh, and that's a major holdup in converting. I hate shopping in SL as much as I hate it in RL, unless I'm at Home Depot (which is the edit window in SL).

I hate shopping in SL as much as I hate it in RL, unless I'm at Home Depot (which is the edit window in SL). Indeed. When I converted to mesh (and hair was one of the first things I changed over), I spent a great deal of time trying to find mesh versions of my favourite flexi or sculptie hair. The search did not go well. Eventually, I gave up, and just started buying whatever looked good. I'm a much happier hair shopper (and wearer) now. (I tend to like shorter hair: Dura should be a go-to for me. For some reason, however, I've had problems finding things I really like there. Go figure.)

I've been getting back to a bit of building in SL recently. Just prims, nothing fancy, or big. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it!
