  1. What a stunning picture!

    It's been several months since your post, but I wanted to reply.

    It reminds me of Nar Mattaru style, but I do not see any male avatar images modelling their skins in the store. The female product advertisements have a somewhat masculine look.

    I have demo'd male skins from several different stores on my female Lelutka head with not-too-terrible results. I wanted to see if it would work. I like the more natural lips on male avatars. (no makeup)

    If I remember correctly,  Nar Mattaru's skins and lips are a good, natural, pale-ish color with strong brows similar to your image.

    Good luck!

  2. I have been seeking a more unisex, modest wardrobe recently, especially stylish mid to lower heeled dress shoe and boot options: Somewhat chunky heel booties, mid height convertible pumps, open/peeptoe with a mid heel.

    There are some terrific men's clothing stores in SL now. It would be nice to see female options for their products. They would work well for a ladies casual, everyday-type neutral wardrobe.

    Think well-groomed and a little "undone" at the same. Chic-Décontracté.

    What do you think? 🙂

    Thanks, Ann

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  3. I noticed that his store is no longer in Oculea region. 😞 I used to recommend new residents go and visit his parcel to show them an example of SL's silly, fun, creative and cool-ness potential. I never knew him, but I admired his work. Is he still involved in SL in any way? If so, I would enjoy seeing what he is up to. 

    Thanks

    Remember Chapter 4? Those were the 'late adapters'. 

    And now! Welcome to Chapter 5 of the 'Technology Adoption Cycle': Featuring - The Laggards.

    It's a lab remember? A lab that has been collecting data on everyone and everything that happens inside SL and has been following the Technology Adoption life cycle model because SL is a lab and is a technology.

    We/you are paying for improvements made in Second Life through the years that private contractors and residents, many of which have become private contractors to the lab, have created. The lab absorbs the most talented residents and anything else it wants, when it wants.

    Remember, not long ago, they hired Strawberry Singh? They knew she had a big following and added value to SL. You are now helping to pay her salary and are paying the lab for her input. You are paying to be a follower. Why? According to the technology adaption curve, they know that stage 5 users are the laggards. They are loyal followers, resistant to change and skeptical of innovation. 

    Just out of curiosity, what do you think they are going to do with all of the information they have gathered through the years?
