No idea! He's quite capable, though, or so I've heard... perhaps he styled himself?

Usually men do not care a lot how they look - at least in SL. His last one was very handsome too but an old system ava ... freeby or such (as he told us himself) ... so amidst all this hard work for the trailers he should have found time for THIS? *wonders*

Often especially since meshtimes when it takes hours and hours of shopping, trying on demos and combining  the best body with the best head and skin and eyes and hair and clothes ... when a man's avatar has a total makeover there is usually a woman busy in the background ;)

Well if so this woman did a darned good job!

And  @sceneris YOU did a darned good job too!! Awsome video!! I love it!

I was hovering over Porthole and watched but too busy zooming in here and there and everywhere to have such a great view of the whole scene. Now I even realize that the yellow thingies I first saw around some trailers vanished during the process.

Wonder what THAT might have been. In Open Sim I saw many regions arising (load OAR) but they never changed during it.

I'm a scripter, remember, not a builder, so my busy times aren't the same as those of most of the other Moles.  That's why I have time to post here a lot when others are busy decorating regions.  

Didn't take me long to do the makeover, in point of fact, perhaps because the market for male mesh bodies and heads doesn't seem anything like so large as that for female ones.    I took advice on the best places to look, and checked out the two that came particularly recommended.   

We're all of us in LDPW experienced content creators, remember, so one of the many benefits of being a Mole is that I'm never short of expert help with SL shopping when I need it, and, of course, there are some very helpful blogs to look at too.

I found the sort of thing I was looking for very quickly -- the whole process took no more than three or four hours, if that, spread over a couple of days, as and when I had time.  

I'd been thinking of getting this account a mesh body for a while but hadn't bothered until now because it's only recently that we in LDPW have become so publically recognisable -- due, in no small part, to the lovely portraits you've been posting here.

I'm glad you like the new look.

Methinks you give men far too little credit.

Yep. Take a wander through the vanity threads and you'll see what they can do.

I generally dislike any of the gender role stereotypes, and these types of things also fail to take into account that anyone we encounter in SL may or may not be the gender they appear to be on first glance, or in the real world. 

But this thread is all about the Moles so...

...Is this the stuff I need to spread all over @Quartz Moleto get him to lift the restraining order?!

I agree Beth. Try a reversal. Could any of the beautiful female avatars in the vanity threads be the creations of... men? It's hard to promote the "guys are really girls theory" in parallel with the "guys have no style" theory.

I could probably destroy any "women dress better" theory simply by posting more in the vanity threads.

Remember, I have seen you up close now, Madelaine, and found you to be quite adorable and cuddly-looking!

This makes me smile. Though I have accessorized it a li'l, my devil avatar was a gift from Mr. Handsome himself, @Parhelion Palou

To my credit, he did see something in me that prompted the gift.

That's my fault  

The yellow thingies are parcel markers we lay out when we set up and build the region.    They're both a visual guide for the builders and decorators and (because of the scripts they contain) an essential tool in building the systems whereby the websites, the land store, the house controllers, the trailers, the main rezzer and the remote servers that deliver content packs and notecards all talk to each other.  

Most of the time they're almost invisible.   However, when I'm making sure the individual parcels and house controllers are all responding and have correctly registered themselves, the parcel markers briefly become highly visible for up to 30 seconds or a minute, before hiding themselves again after successfully updating the details of the parcels whose boundaries they mark, so that if any don't successfully complete the process I can see at a glance which parcels are affected.

So if you see parcel markers behaving like that, it means I'm testing communications systems, or doing something that makes communications systems run self-diagnostic routines to check nothing's broken after something that's happened (a script update or something).
