I'm not that good at putting in prompts, but I found a program called KREA that enhances a decent-looking photo.

I have been a consumer of his creations for ten years. Maybe longer. Love ISON.

Ballet lesson today

Take off your head and body skins. Put on the body skin first, then the head skin. Most head skins these days have a neck blender built in. If that doesn't fix your issue, you will have to look for a body skin or head skin that does match.

As I said before, take it to the event planners. It won't be solved in the forums.

Thank you Love.

1. I'm not striving to be the cool kid, so I wait a few days or more to enter an event after it opens. Usually, I will pick up the demos of clothing items, take them home, try them on, and then think about it for a day or two. If I want it, I will go back and get it. There is nothing in this virtual world I have to have that I get so upset about and post a rant about it. 2. I don't need the latest bodies, skins, or clothes, either. I've worn the same body since 2014. Oh, wait. I wear the newest update that came out in November 2023, too. Skins? The last skin purchase was around April 2023, and before that, it was 2019. Clothes are another matter, but again, I buy for longevity. 3 & 4. I can hear, "But I need this now!" A toddler throwing a tantrum comes to mind. 5 & 6. You would have been better off if you contacted the event planners and made your preferences known. 7. You can shop when you want to shop now. Just realize that a region can only hold so many people, and you have to wait your turn, like everyone else.

There was a time when I had to be at an event on day one. If necessary, I would use my hammer all day long. I no longer have to be one of the first to have the new shiny, as going to a club or what have you, there are ten others with the same outfit on. I wait these days even though I am P+. I usually shop on the Seraphim website and write down my desired demos—the newest birthday event to open a couple of days ago has nothing I want, except for one outfit from a favorite creator, and that is iffy. I never pick up gifts anymore as I usually trashed 90% of them. Anyway, I shop for a particular aesthetic; no more impulse buys. I prefer to wait these days as within a week, those that purchased from the popular events have moved on to the next shiny. I'm shopping for longevity, and my standards are high. If you must have the newest shiny, then be prepared to wait or use a cam region and deal with the lag.

I love BB denim jeans and some of the denim shorts. I've kept them around because no other designer could design junk in the trunk so well. They also offered under-boot styles. The textures passed the test for me. For this alone, I will wait and see what the new company offers. I did see a WIP pairs of denim shorts. So, yay!

June 23, 2010. SL 7th Birthday. Seven, which happens to be my lucky number. Anyways... I have a legacy name. When I rezzed in, I spent the better part of a month sniffing butts and crotches. I became a tall woman avatar compared to the average here. No, I didn't miss the fun times. I still experience fun times to this day. It would be best if you people got out more, lol. Missed the fun times, my a**.

I enjoyed learning much-needed skills, but the "rag business" was not for me. Too cut-throat. After graduating, I returned to my fly-over state of Indiana.

You might want to do a search in SL for Modeling Schools. Years ago, I attended Miss Virtual World Academy. I learned a lot about avatar proportions and such. I do not know what skills are required these days.

I have a Master's Degree in Nursing (I am a Retired Nurse Practitioner caring for my wheelchair-bound mother) and a Bachelor's Degree in Language Arts. I have also spent decades in the Textile Arts industry doing Custom Garments, Heirloom Sewing, Quilting, and Machine Embroidery, after graduating from FIT in NYC. SL is my escape. I don't want to create anything other than what I need in my region.

I will jump in here and clear up a misconception about LaraX. It is NOT AN UPDATE. It is a NEW BODY; you get it FREE with a redelivery. Both 5.3 and Lara X are in the redelivery package you will receive. Look in the extras HUD, and you will find 5.3. LaraX responds to the shape sliders much better, and yes, you can make it curvy. You can also use the same shape for LaraX1.1 and the current Lara5.3. LaraX will need its own clothing, but switching between the two bodies is easy. You can use the same skins, tattoos, and anything BOM(BakesOnMesh/SystemLayers) between them both. I suggest you join the Maitreya Lara Friends Group; the CSRs are very helpful. Good Luck, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

None of those skirts above would make it into my closet. I will say Tetra has one called 'Sonya' that did make it to my closet. I just wish it was a bit longer in length. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/TETRA-Sonya-Skirt-Fatpack/26019225 Fit, texture, and style means everything

Yeah, I got that one. Still, a plain ole denim skirt with a straight hem, fully zipped and buttoned that doesn't show your Yahoo would be most desired.

I agree. It is a struggle.

I never had a problem with Lara 5.3 until I took a good look at the shoulders; then, I could not unsee it. Well, a deformer took care of that for me. When LaraX came out, I was happy to have an improved Lara, but I still use a shoulder deformer to this day. While I have purged my inventory of many 5.3 clothing pieces, there are a great many pieces that will never be replicated for LaraX. I know, never say never. Still, what I have left in my collection of 5.3 will stand the test of time. A few of the creators I frequent are updating previous items and are including LaraX. I happily redeliver and delete the 5.3. I've purged a few thousand pieces from my inventory closet. Going forward, I only look for LaraX. It is a rare occasion that I buy something for 5.3. I have the best of both worlds, in my opinion. Luckily for 5.3 users, they have a massive amount of previous releases that they can purchase, and many are still creating for 5.3. You just have to step out of your comfort zone and look for them

I was here last night to listen to a few DJ's. I'm using the newly released FS PBR viewer. It is an impressive build.

I'm not into following the masses, as sometimes the M is silent. I've been tall (but not overly tall) since I was two weeks old, and I'm comfortable with that. It's SL—my world, my imagination. Just like in first life, we come in all shapes and sizes. This subject has been beaten to death. It's time to let it go.

Thalia Heckroth has a pair of straight-leg jeans in store.

Classic, understated style - Dresses and skirts of a decent length where your bits are not showing. If you can see the underwear it is not a dress or skirt. No underboob or nipple showing. Pants zipped up and buttoned. Don't mind a little cheek showing, but I am not wearing shorts that look like thong underwear. Textures that look like actual fabric and not just some color slapped on. If it's ribbed knit, I want to see the ribs in the knit. I would love to see designers step up and create capsule wardrobes for each season. I keep waiting...
