Vanity Fair

If you missed the Valentine’s-Day-only Altamura group gifts of the Romeo and Juliet full-body mesh avatars and were cursing your bad luck, well, guess what?? THEY'RE BACK, but only between now and February 27th, 2019!! These are not the usual sort of freebie Altamura full-body (i..e head and body) mesh avatar which I have often blogged about before, which is limited to one skin tone and where you cannot remove the head. These are fully-featured, fully-adjustable, Omega-compatible mesh bodies, with Bento heads and Bento hands! Romeo comes in 4 skin tones and Juliet comes in 8 skin tones. Romeo and Juliet are easily the equivalent of what you would usually spend L$4,899 on at the Altamura store (or L$7,750 if you spring for the standard-issue Maitreya Lara mesh body and a Catwa Bento head, and that’s before you buy skin appliers). All this is yours for just the group join fee of L$50 to join the Altamura Design/Mesh Avatars group, which is less than 1% of the Maitreya/Catwa combination. (You pay the vendor L$1 and it gets refunded immediately.) Needless to say, THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING DEAL WHICH YOU SHOULD NOT PASS UP.

Yes of course you can. If you can create a custom avatar in VRChat it can be pretty much anything you want it to be. There is also a thriving business of people making custom VRChat avatars for other people: https://ryanschultz.com/2018/04/27/vrchat/

If you don't have a lot of money to spend, here is my blogpost listing all the free and inexpensive mesh heads and bodies for female avatars, just in case you need it (I try to keep it updated): https://ryanschultz.com/2018/09/24/second-life-steals-deals-and-freebies-free-mesh-heads-and-bodies-for-female-second-life-avatars/

I filed a ticket and someone got back to me. My problem is now fixed!

I have a serious problem with this alt account. I was trying on a dress and Second Life was being balky so I tried it from my home location and it still didn't work. I signed out, and when I signed back in, ALL OF MY INVENTORY IS GONE! I tired using the missing inventory instruction page on the Firestorm Viewer website, deleting my .gz cache and then trying to reload it, but my inventory is all gone except for the default avatar items. Completely wiped clean! I've never had this happen to me before and I've been using SL for years and years. What do I do now? I tired loading one or two of the default avatars and it looks as through I still have a full head and body alpha on, even though it's not showing in my inventory. HELP!!!!

Thanks for responding! I'd be interested to know more about some of the open-world MMOs you are currently following.

Interesting observations, thank you! I can report that Community Garden has been bought out by another virtual world called Somnium Space: https://ryanschultz.com/2018/10/29/somnium-space-acquires-community-garden-announces-refund-program-for-metaworld-investors/

Thanks for the report, @Chic Aeon !

Oops! Whirly beat me to it!

Inara Pey reports that Linden Lab is working on an iOS (Apple) mobile client for SL: https://modemworld.me/2019/01/10/linden-lab-confirm-second-life-ios-client-in-the-making/

The 10th Advent gift under the Christmas tree turns out to be an Altamura Omega full-body skin applier HUD, in all the Altamura skintones! You have a choice of with brows or browless (so you can apply your own Omega eyebrows): What this means is that you can now match your Leila Bento mesh head to literally any Altamura body! In the picture above, I am wearing the Leila head with all the default makeup removed, and with the third Baltic Sea skintone applied. I am wearing the head with the free Altamura Jenny mesh body I had picked up at the Women Only Hunt back in 2017 (not the free version you can pick up now at the Freebie Megastore at London City; that version, unfortunately, does not let you remove the head). Frankly, I was a little surprised that this was not part of the Advent gift on the 8th day. But I now see they are spreading out the gifts over several days. So be sure to drop by and pick up gift #10 to use with your Leila head!
