  1. I was never a fan of KFC even before I went vegetarian. Aside from the fries portion sizes which were too small, and the incompetent staff who never once managed to correctly compile an order for two people, I always found the chicken itself to be poor quality and overly greasy. The only part I really liked was the coating. I've been curious about the KFC vegan burger but a colleague of mine at work tried one last week and told me that not only was he not impressed, it doesn't even have the proper KFC coating on it; it's just a regular quorn burger bought-in as-is from elsewhere. So I may as well save a few quid by buying a pack of frozen quorn burgers from Aldi and make my own at home (which is what I do anyway).
  2. Actually we can. Having both is the situation in which each individual user balances the cost to them of disclosure against the cost to them of non-disclosure. The balance of cost is going to be different for everyone, and everyone is therefore free to make their own individual choices about what they disclose, to whom, when, and with what conditions. Which is, unsurprisingly, exactly the same as the current situation.
  3. Magika has a couple of hair styles like that. Blair is probably the closest. Pretty much any head, with some shape tweaking, though probably not Genus Babyface or Catwa's older heads, which have more pronounced lips than this. Lelutka's new Evolution heads would probably work well with that face shape.
  4. I would rather be fully open from the start and if someone wants to rule themselves out because of my RL gender, then that's fine. It likely means that it would never have worked out between us in the first place. However, it does mean that people treat me differently from the way they would if I presented female and didn't disclose my RL gender, and I can certainly understand why transgender people do not want to disclose that they are trans. Personally, I don't think that a trans person who chooses not to disclose is being deceptive. A trans man is a man and a trans woman is a woman, regardless of whether they have finished or even started medical transition. Gender doesn't automagically switch the moment surgery happens. But I am not trans, I don't identify as female in any way, and I would rather people see and treat me like a queer/gender-diverse man. That's why I choose to disclose.
  5. Me too, I have my houseboat open with rez allowed and a 30 minute auto--return, so if someone wants to use my space to rez a boat they can. Never had anyone try to use my bed though, at least not to my knowledge...
  6. Surely it wouldn't take much for the Lindens to fill in the three missing regions with some open water..? @Patch Linden what's the plan here?
  7. The campers were too small for me, even with optimum camera position I am too tall to really manouver round in one. I had a similar problem with the Traditional houses. The houseboats though, are the perfect size for me, and still simple enough. I love them.
  8. This is an awesome place for the Galaxy, I hope it will stay there!
  9. Looks to me like the BOM relay isn't working at all (or else you didn't actually click it whilst wearing the Normie head). What happens when you put a head alpha on? Does the head turn red? If not, then either the relay or the head itself is broken, and you'll need to contact the creators.
  10. I was so amazingly pleased with this first pic, it was my profile pic in 2010 and I thought I looked amazing. Haha.
  11. I don't even get why people like this are even in Bellisseria at all. If they don't want a community, there are thousands of parcels on regular mainland that are surrounded by vast expanses of abandoned land that no-one will ever want. They can live in perfect isolation with no sight of a neighbour in months. For me, the community is the best bit about Bellisseria.
  12. I usually give a SL excuse, something like "sorry I have to be somewhere else now." If it's someone who is an actual friend, I'll offer to continue the convo in IM but I will slow it right down. If its someone I don't know, I'll just say that it's time for me to go, and end the convo.
  13. I want to click "agree" without it being a "like", because I do not like him one little bit.
  14. You can pick up a BOM relay for Maitreya from the Maitreya store; I think it's free, or at least very cheap. I don't know about Genus but I presume they would have their own. You need to wear your body (and head), and the relay, then click on the relay. If you're wearing your body and head alphas, your skin will turn bright red; take off the alphas and your body and head will change to your underlying classic skin. Once done, you can take off the relay and forget about it, you won't need to wear it every time you change something. From here on, your body and head will show whatever system skins ans tattoo/clothing layers you're wearing. If at any time you want to cancel the switch to BOM, just put the alphas back on and re-apply an applier skin.
  15. While I usually wear the V-tech chest mod, making a completely flat chest, sometimes I don't, and when I don't, I keep my breast size at 20 or below. You can't really go lower than 10 on Maitreya; lower than that and the chest starts to go concave. Skin is going to make the biggest impact, because most female skins are heavily shaded, far to heavy for small breasts. I use Flamboyant TG and Boi skins (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Flamboyant-Sweets-Femboy-Trans-Skin-Vanilla/16688728) and Pink Fuel with chest dehancer (which is available in the Pink Fuel store as a separate purchase). I recommend trying Pink Fuel to start with because they are so cheap (for the classic/BOM skins). The first 2 pics here are with Pink Fuel and the dehancer layer. The second two are the Flamboyant TG skin. Both sets are breast size 12 with buoyancy and cleavage both at 50. No extra mod, just the basic Maitreya body.
  16. One of those lazy "can't be arsed" Sundays...
  17. I'm guessing that what is actually happening is your mesh body is failing to rez for others, and what they are seeing is the classic body underneath (which has no alpha as you are using BoM). This usually results from wearing more than one attachment on the same attachment point, and I would bet real money that you have your mesh body plus at least one more thing on the same point. You can detach your body and re-attach it to any alternative point; being rigged it will still automatically sit in the right position. You can temporarily resolve it by doing "refresh attachments" from the avatar health menu, at least in Firestorm. But switching the body to an alternative attachment point is a permanent fix.
