I was going for a red theme. I should have done some horns with it too.

All i had recently was a snapshot of my face. I dont change clothes as often as i use to honestly.

If you are on flickr i suggest joining some of the groups. There is one called My Kawaii World SL, also Kawaii Time, and Kawaii Elite. You can see blog posts and stuff featuring cute kawaii styles. This would help you alot in search of new stores.I hope you find what you're looking for.

This happens to everybody in SL at some point. Its more common when you have been around Sl for many years like i have. I have taken breaks for several months at a time before, Going on 13 years here i sometimes need to get away and do other things for a while. So give yourself opportunity to come up with new ideas for things you want to do in SL. Find some inspiration and pick up a new hobby such as blogging, photography, maybe even creating some things. Getting involved in something new and interacting with others that also do that thing create a whole new experience for you. You will find yourself excited about SL again and always looking for new inspiration.

I only fairly recently returned from a break so i missed so much of new bodies and new heads. As soon as i heard TMP i was thinking Oh no this wont go over well. I just cant get past how things were with them before, So I'm very cautious. The body looks nice but that price is way too high for something that has such huge issues.Its not omega compatible ( atleast not yet), so thats a huge turn off.I need to watch some review videos and really see the full details of this body and the hud to fully know about it. There are better bodies with better prices on the market already and with tons of support.Did we even need a new over priced body on the market? Designers are already over worked as it is trying to meet the demands of creating for bodies, especially when creating for events and having to pick and choose in order to be ready on time.

I couldn't respond as i was busy moving across the country and had limited use of the internet. I only just got back so there has been little time to check in on things until now. As for your questions and curiosity. I probably didnt word it the right way. No it wasnt the exact trademark that was purchased it was just applying for them. But none the less the process was started and thats what matters to me and is worth every cent. I realize there is no guarentee but i couldnt not try. I didn't work this hard on everything for nothing. Even though its a long wait i just felt even notifying her thati was willing to protect what i worked for was the least i could do. So far sense then there hasn't been anymore issues. Its been quiet, which is a relief as i certainly didn't want to continue dealing with any of this mess after just moving.

wow the assumptions from you people. I did not come here to advertise. I never once mentioned my new brand name i created. Ive had it less than a week, so advertising it right now i spointless as it does not exsist as a physical store or even on marketplace. So you are 100% wrong on that. I didnt expect much of any real advice as the forums are usually filled with people assuming things and being jerks. My post was mostly to vent my frustrations over the situation hoping someone else that had been through something similar may have had something helpful to share themselves. No longer matters now as late yesterday i payed for the trademark rights to both brands and notified the ex business partner with screenshots of the purchase. She was forced to change the name. The situation is now solved.

I did move on and start a new brand, but that does not make it right for her to claim and use what i created now does it? Its pretty low and crappy considering most of the work for that brand was mine. I find it funny now that thats all she has left is claiming the brand name and using my pictures. She doesnt however have the products i created. I took all of that with me. I guess i can consider myself lucky she didnt get those too. All she has left is in inexperince that shows in the new items shes releasing. Im not worried about that. I know people can clearly tell the difference between my work and hers. I know people can see that she wasnt even capable of creating the things shes claiming now. Ill leave her in the dust while my bloggers and regular customers follow me over to my new brand. Its all good.

Yeah i had considered these things as well that they may not be able to do anything because i didnt get the name trademarked or anything in RL. I had also thought that nothing would be done about that. I had just hoped she herself would come to realize what shes doing is wrong and stop. Only hoping though. I have already created a new brand which i am in the process of setting up. So no worries there.

I left my ex business partner recently because of her unpredictable explosive episodes she would have. I thiink she got angry that i left her so shes relaliated. After the conversation on FB that made me decide to leave, i decided not to even tell her because i knew i would deal with yet another one of her weird freak outs. So to avoid it i decided to log in quietly and not even say a word to her. I teleported to the sim where the store sat, i picked all of my decor,, all of my products in the store, ejected people from the groups. I thought doing it quietly would avoid drama from her but that was not the case sadly. SHe has gotten 4 different friends of hers to jump into my IM harassing me. Ive had to rile reports. SHe herself never IMd me and I never IMd her either. I had assumed after break up the business partnership naturally she would move on and create a new store name. Thats not what has happned. I created that store. While she payed the 100$ while i was offline to make the group, it was me that came up with the whole idea, it was me that provided the name, i even have an old notecard from 2013 with a list of words to combine to create a store name. I made that notecard for another friend and those 2 words are on that short list. My ex business partner has decided to keep and claim the name i made. Shes also decided to use the same sim decor i had up.She also refuses to take down the ads that i created for her. I even have the original snapshots i took of my own avatar before putting them in the ads. She has also ripped apart the product packaging i made and altered it, changed the color and threw her new logo onto it. Its been very frustrating that shes doing this. She knows what shes doing is wrong, or atleast she should know. Im not sure what to do with this situation. I saved so many screenshots of everything incase i need evidence for whatever reason.

I'm sorry your first experience with SL was so disappointing. Its always sad to hear that a new user didnt get the guidence or help that they needed and gave up in frustration. I have been here sense 2006.It does take time getting use to and understanding how things work. I dont just mean how the viewer works ect, but how SL people work and the general etticate rules when meeting people. A lot of new residents dont even know these things at all and they can come off as a bit rude or annoying. This leaves older residents not even wanting to respond and give them the time of day. It happens. However not all older residents will ignore you.There are plenty that will happily steer you in the right direction and offer you the help you need. A good thing for you to do is join groups, try going to some clubs. Find one you like and hang around there a lot and talk with the people regularly. Let them get to know you. You will find yourself making friends in no time at all. Thats what i did a long time ago. As for homes it is the Lindens job to promote their own homes and premium membership. So you wont be seeing them even telling new residents about other home rentals. You do not need premium at all. I have had it a few times but always cancel because i never really need it. I just buy my L$. If you cant afford to buy L$ you can try getting involved in club contests until your avatar is old enough to get employment somewhere in whuich you will earn a regular salary. In contests people vote for you and if you win you get a L$ prize. I did that a lot for my first few years. I was able to save L$ for a lot of nice things and a nice home just doing that. There are 2 ways for shopping. You can either use the marketplace. You type in the type of product you want and looking through the pages. Then make your purchase. It is then sent to your avatar in world and check for it in your received items folder. Or you actually buy things in world in the physical store locations but right clicking on the vendory and click Pay, or Buy. then the items are in your inventory. You are more than welcomed to contact me in world searching my avatar name. I will be happy to guide you through anything you need. Dont give up on Second Life just yet. there are so many possibilities.

You may want to try the Kemono mesh av. Its a very small chested av. I have been seeing more and more people making appliers for it. You can find it on the marketplace.

I just recently closed down my own store due to focusing on photography but i would be happy to offer any help. I made a post on my blog on how to retexture a shirt. It may be of some use to you. HERE .

I do photograpy and editing. I have been working as a photography in SL sense 2007 ( including years on my other av). have examples of both my edited work and my raw snapshots from my blogger posts so you can get an idea of the quality. you can find these on my flickr.HERE . I have an inworld studio. You can find the tp in my profile in the classifieds tab. This will lead you straight to the offiice and you can grab a notecard with full details of my services.

I made a post to my blog for a simple editing tutorial. I do plan to do others soon to go into even more detail of how to edit SL photos. You are welcomed to check out out and see if its of any use to you at all. HERE

I love books set in the same time periods as you like as well. Years ago on another av i use to rp in a victorian themed sim, but i imagine i would be a bit rusty if i tried now seeing as i havent done any rp in years. I love exploring and discovering new things to occupy my time with. I am totally open to anything. I also love photography. Its actually my job in SL. I would love to hang out sometime or go exploring some awesome sims!

I understand what you are going through . My av is 5'8 and i usually dress very cute and kawai. Even though im very small and dress cute i still have a womanly figure so its impossible for anyone to mistake me for a child. Also people reading my profile see i have a partner and children. There are still the ignorant few that never even bother to read my profile and look at how small i am and freak out and thinking im a teen. Its not uncommon for adult women avatars to be very short these days ( well short compaired to the amazon height avs). I have seen plenty of small adult female avs with kids that arent much shorter than they are actually so really height should never be an issue. Its what YOU say your av is that matters. If you say you are an adult then you are! Nobody else can tell you any diffrent.

Windlight is mostly definatly the way to go here. when you dont use it you will notice all sorts of things that are not flattering at all. Never use face lamps ( or facelights whatever you prefer to call them). They havent been used sense before windlight became the normal thing in SL. For everyday regular lighting i recomend downloading the lighting from JuicyBomb, and from strawberrysingh ( this one will explain where to put them).

Its extremly difficult to find everything you need when you are looking for everything free. Sure there are helpful freebie blogs. but it still puts a huge limit on the items you will get. I know a lot of people who cant buy L$/ Your best best is to enter contests and save up your winnings then go purchase a mesh body like the one at slink. I have test this one to the limit with the sliders and was able to make a a larger shape without it looking all distorted like the default SL body. Atleast go grab a demo of it and you will know what you should save up for. If you need any help with anything you can contact me in world.

Oh my lawd. Im just horrifed. I cant even imagine that someone would be so immersed in SL that they wouldnt take a few minutes to step away to take care of necessary RL things like simply going to a toilet. This is just discusting.

Getting bored does happen, especially when you have been in SL for a long time. I have explored every oppportunity at some point or another over the years. There are days when i log in and there is absolutely nothing that intrests me at all, so i end up logging back out. Take this from a person that has tried : rp, combat, exploring,photography,clubs, contests, fashion shows,classes/schools. There just comes a point when it isnt much fun anymore and you are better off exploring other things outside of SL.

The only clothing on it when you purchase it is a thong. The hud that comes with the phat azz allows you to click Hide or Show on the Pants and Underwear layers to make whatever clothing you use for it visible or invisible. The hud works with ANY clothing you wear with the Phat Azz..

You sound so much like me! Im never too busy for fun or to just hangout and talk. My fave people are the weird perverted ones. They make SL so much more fun.

Hi what sorts of things do you like to do? There are many things that can be fun. * Photography *Blogging *Exploring *Games *Combat *Roleplay *Decorating land and Homes

Welcome back! I know from my own experiance being away from SL for periods of time. It can be confusing comming back with many things changed and many places gone. I would be happy to add you and get you into the swing of things again and possibly help you update your appearance for todays SL.
