Moon makes a long hair if i recall. She may not sell it anymore and she only has a few of her hairs on the marketplace. So, I don't have a picture of it and the marketplace link to "inworld store" is not her current location. Now that I think of it, this doesn't seem very helpful at all..

Bento Mesh Heads: There is a WIDE variety of the bento mesh heads but they are definitely the latest trend. The link that AnnistynSL provided will help you find the stores that supply these. Mesh Body: To get rid of all the weird jagged edges the classic body can have. Once again, that link will help you find stores. Bento Hands: They wiggle! How can you resist? These are a must in my opinion. You can find these at Vista Animations and I think that SLink MAY (I dont know for sure) have put some out as well. Skin Appliers for Mesh Bits: Can't have mesh bits without a skin! You would just look silly. L'etre makes some very lovely male skins that I think you may find appealing since you are wearing Frukk Fitted Mesh Clothing: This is also a great change if you haven't already. Remember having to mess with your shape to make your clothes fit? Well not anymore! With fit mesh the clothes fit your body pretty well. If you have any questions or need any help in world, I am more than happy to assist you. Feel free to send me an IM!

You could try Titzuki and Boys to the Bone. They make unisex clothing that range from masculine to feminine and are fitted mesh.

Little Bones has come out with some great textured tight curls! Try there too. :3

I mostly go to shopping events. You can always go to SeraphimSL. There tends to be a lot of the same stores at these events but I'm partial to the gacha events.

Wow, thank you very much Rhonda!

My take on Mercy from Overwatch :3

Yes...come to the green dot. I have cake!

All of those things are exactly what I'm interested in I'll send you an IM when I get home from work.

Oh wow. I have never heard of that body. I really like the muscle definition on it. The thing that sucks though too is that, a lot of the skin creators that I use for my husbands av (he doesnt play so its kinda become my alt) have specific appliers. Omega is great but sometimes it messes up and your kneecaps look like potatoes and you have extra toes.

I think it's about the game and trends evolving just like they do in RL. If you look at beauty standards over the years, it has changed drastically. SL reflects this trend as well. Back in 2009 when I started, if you were short even in the slightest, you were considered a child av. My av height was almost all the way up and I was still a "shorter" female av back then. Now, I have my height set at 6ft and I'm A LOT shorter than others but I would hope that my curves and chesticles would point out that I am indeed not a child LOL.

Edit: Definitely just noticed how old this thread is.

I would normally recommend the Maitreya mesh body but seeing as you want something a little more curvy, I suggest getting the Belleza body because it comes with 3 different base body types Freya, Isis, and Venus. There is a decent amount of content out for Belleza as well. If you want something that is thicker as well as curvy, I suggest the Slink Hourglass body, but I will warn you that creating a shape for this one can be a bit frustrating as it's base dimensions are very different from the other bodies on the market. Edit:: Also, the Maitreya body now has bento hands which is an added bonus!

I organize my inventory little by little by putting all loose items in a "Sort" folder. From there I label subfolders with 1,2,3,ect. I work on one folder at a time until its all sorted, renamed,unboxed, and deleted as I deem fit. I agree it would be VERY nice to be able to sort offline but when you break up the workload like that, its not so bad. :3

Ikon is great for eyes. L'etre make some marketed more towards men as well. Happy shopping!

The AO looks like the Cute Neko AO from Kuso/Oracle Generally their AO's are only about $L250

That's kind of the beauty of second life though. Anyone can be whatever or look however they want. It's not the mesh body that looks bad itself in your eyes. As you stated, the mesh body is rigged to the same skeleton as the system av. That being said, anyone can make a shape that is not necessarily aesthetically pleasing to you, but may be to them. Personally, I love mesh. It took me a little while when it first started coming out and I only really considered a mesh head sometime last year. The bodies are 1000x more realistic than the system bodies. With the release of bento, customization with the smoothness of mesh have been married and its fantastic! Change can be scary and the learning curve for new things on SL is very high. It took some time but once I got the hang of it, I knew I could never go back to system anything. To each their own though! :3

I think everyone is getting a little too personal here and should maybe get back on track. But to reply to you :3 There's no nice way of saying this, but you absolutely could have fooled me. It just looks very dated. But if you like your av that's all that really matters. But in my eyes your av doesn't stand a chance against my husbands av.

This picture is stunning and I would love to know how you achieved this!

My latest picture. I'm really proud of it so I figured I'd show you lovely people :3

My suggestions are either SLink or Signature. The SLink body has a TON of fitted mesh options. Try shopping events such as TMD (The Mens Department) for either items or new creators that you would like to see more of. I suggest signature for someone who likes a more toned body as it has a more defined body. Also, there is an event monthly strictly dedicated to items for this body. Personally, I went with SLink for my male alt as I liked the setup they had for their alpha HUD. I plan on getting the Signature Gianni body soon

Rolig: That's almost certainly a connection problem on your end ^ One of the first responses I received. Again, moot point. Issue is fixed due to things that had nothing to do with connection.

It seems that you may be sheltered as well if you get so upset over people on the internet being annoying. It's quite simple to block and derender someone that is vexing. -shrugs- I can see the irritation for being harassed about your sexuality but if you've ever spent time on any other platform that requires internet and conversing with other people, you would know that its unfortunately the nature of the beast. I see your point about sexism though. I tend to stick to my shopping events and art installments so I don't see that side as much. If I've ever been harassed, it's not been anything noteworthy as I tend to chalk these things up to be someone who clearly thinks SL is only a platform for pixel sex. Just my opinion.

The driver was the crashing issue not the TP issue. I think everyone is confusing the 2 issues as one in the same. They were 2 separate issues. Issue 1: I would crash when i landed at my friends land. Issue 2: I could not TP from ONLY MY LAND as i would get stuck in the TP. Anyway, its moot at this point because both have been resolved and I have stated multiple times that I know it is not my connection for a fact.
