The Secret Store, the last I checked, still had a presence in-world. You'd love it. The stuff is suuuuuuper cute! They also make for Lara Petite and Flat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a while back I got tired of the bikini offerings and switched to mostly retro two piece sets. I've always loved the retro designs anyway. I do still have a few older true bikinis, from before everything turned into butt-floss. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Yeah, I don't do most social media (referencing the Flickr group woes expressed above and on the last page) because it's not really social, just media. One day people will be called n00bs for trying to communicate on social media because they don't realize it's all just a bunch of automated, paid advertising and marketing that people scroll when they're bored or post stuff on for money. Having your pictures, which you put thought, time, and even love into, rejected from a group because they're not serving the content creators with enough marketing "pizzazz" and ad-slaving credits is just disheartening. They don't deserve the page views. As for swimsuits, I feel the same pain as everyone else. Truth be told, certain parts of swimsuits are extremely difficult to rig so that they don't look extremely funky when you walk, due to inconsistencies between the SL skeleton and any semi-realistic mesh body that it's wearing. It's not all just the "skank factor" at work. It takes serious skill to make modest delicates that look right when you move. Finding a swimsuit that doesn't look like the equivalent of a womens' Halloween costume (you know, the stripper version of whatever costume you actually wanted to wear?) is almost impossible. I still wear my victorian boy's one-piece swim-longjohns most of the time, just so people don't assume I'm out swimming to find a "daddy". They can think I'm a femboy, I don't care. I'm just out to enjoy my daily swim. Edited May 19, 2023 by PheebyKatz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayashe Ninetails Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 This peeve is too funny not to share. Peeve: I'm a doofus. 100% doofus. I spend months...MONTHS...troubleshooting skins on my Evo X heads. Grab demos, try demos, flail, stomp, whyyy, whyyy am I broken? The issue - a strange highlight that appears just under the nose. Every shade, every brand. Light skins, dark skins, fantasy skins! Velour skins, Pumec skins, Ives skins, Amara skins. Without fail...my noooose! So, today I was determined to fix this. I tried some Izzie's nose fixes. Nope. Relog, swap to a starter avatar and rebuild piece by piece, try the same skins/head on my alt and have my friend do the same (they looked FINE!), grab a head redelivery, mess with shapes, mess with sliders. Everything - nope! FINALLY, it occurs to me to try shifting the lighting. I live in CalWL, but let's try moving the sun around a bit. Hey wait, the discoloration's gone...wat? Move to a different area of the house and into the shadows...and my nose is fine. Um...what???? Set my parcel to Midnight, rez a poseball, go for a slide around the house... no freaking way...what is this light under my floor in the entryway???? A few moments later...oh wait...don't tell me... *moves cam under the floor to the water prim I placed underneath the house when creating my outdoor pond months ago...that's casting light...right where I always STAND (and where my home position is set).* THAT'S what was causing weird issues with my skins this entire tiiiime. Yes, that's right - step back a few paces, and the problem's entirely gone. This explains why my alt doesn't have this issue, as I have her home position set elsewhere in the house. This also explains why my PVC pants always look so damn good when standing in the entryway, but kind of dull out everywhere else I go. 😂 AHHH. 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that usually happens to me, it's mostly the case of something being set to full bright by mistake. The part where it took months to figure it out, tho. Do I never walk around when trying things on, orrrr...? 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordyn McGregor Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 The bunnies have tunneled out of their enclosure and made a break for freedom. Well Muffin anyway. Mel just sat in there eating and watching us chase her around the backyard. And of course I would stand on the part they dug under and fall down it lol This is why I prefer cats!! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bury some chicken wire around the inside edge of the enclosure, then fill in the hole. Oh, and an ankle brace so you don't roll your ankle while bunny wrangling 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordyn McGregor Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Next peeve. It's Monday evening and I'm doing my weekly online shopping order to pickup at the supermarket tomorrow. All going well, many things on special, I don't overspend (rarity). So I get to the part about booking the pickup time... NEXT AVAILABLE SLOT - SATURDAY!!! Wtf?!?!?!

LittleMe Jewell Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Dry climates. While there are definitely negatives to super humid climates, very dry ones suck also. I kept shocking myself (static electricity) as I was vacuuming the upstairs, which is almost fully carpeted. Thank goodness there is no carpet downstairs - just a few rugs here and there.

Yeah, we have 2 large free-standing humidifiers downstairs, but not for upstairs. Haven't typically had a major problem up there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
