    That one looks good, I'll get one and try it. I think the key is inspecting regularly. My infestation is usually in the attic (or 'loft' as we call it in UK) which isn't the easiest place to inspect.

    In my experience humane mouse traps aren't humane at all. They catch the mouse and don't kill it okay, but you find it covered in sweat and panting if great distress. It's okay if you check them really frequently I guess, but I'm not a fan.

    One of my favourite clothes outfits, Neve, has started making LaraX/LaraX Petite as well as Lara/Lara Petite, and also added Reborn to the bodies set. And best of all the price this Happy Weekend!

    I've noticed quite a few stores have dropped Petite over the transition to X. Well they lost my custom too. I don't care much, 'cos I already have enough LaraX Petite clothes to see me out. But what do I spend the UK£50 a month I budget for SL on? Sheesh...
  5. Anna Nova
    Anyone tried that on me, I might file an AR.

    Care to try that at Yasum?

    Okay, so I went back to the worst store, and tried everything in the EEP category. It's still hyper-white, and I still didn't manage to bring myself to stay long enough to buy anything.

    Well, so I guess I'm hyper-white. Seriously, it never crossed my mind. Racism is stupid. What the <expletive deleted> has the amount of pigment, mainly melanin, in your skin got to do with anything? I am very disappointed in those of you who thought that, and even more disappointed that you thought it of me.

    I must learn more about EEP, eeek!

    Following links from the LaraX threads here, I went to a few 'new for me' shops looking for LaraX Petite clothes. One in particular is what I call a 'hyper-white' location, very similar to the one used by a popular mesh body seller. I really can't stand them, because my eyesight isn't so great, and I just thought I might see if I was alone in this (in which case, no issues), or others have the same difficulties - and hence, shop-keepers, you are loosing business. I ought to add that I find 'hyper-gloomy' locations almost as bad.

    I am pretty sure Buddha didn't have those proportions. Al least none of his statues do. Designers please note the Adult Female in these drawing has realistic breasts and waist. (I wanted an emoji with the tongue sticking straight out, but there is no realism in emojiland)

    A lot of it, both with bodies and heads is all about confidence that you can make what you want with it. I got a free LOGO head the other day, it's fine - I mean really good - I just can't make it look the way I want it to, and the instructions are rubbish - there isn't a go-to place (that I have found) where I can learn how to configure it. With Lelutka and Maitreya, on the other hand, there are no end of resources to show you how to get the look you want, but I already know, from years of trying. LaraX Petite, for instance is just like Lara Petite, which is just like Lara, and I have been doing that for years. Lelutka Noel feels the same as Nova(still my go-to head). It's hard to shift people to a new line.

    Price has a huge impact on new body take-up, I think. These are not goods that require the input of raw materials (the marginal production cost is almost zero), as it is true for most things in RL, and the 'price set' has to indicate 'value' to the buyer. I had no problem shelling out L$500 for a Lucybody, as a test run, but buying a new L$5000 body and just hoping it generates a clothing market is a big stretch for many people's SL budget. I know what I am getting with Maitreya, and so do the clothing designers, so it's a safe bet. Anyone else's body it is a risk, unless they do what Legacy did, and buy the designers in - I don't doubt that it has paid back, but it was a brave approach.

    Interesting reading. I was honestly of the opinion that a new body needed a fat ass, and huge boobs. But recent event have proved that's not right. I am having great fun finding clothes for Maitreya's LaraX Petite. Maybe there is room for more human-scale bodies, like Lucybody Vania. The key is clothing.

    LaraX?

    Anna Nova replied to Rowan Amore's topic in Your Avatar

    Whilst I am still wearing Lara Petite, as well as LaraX Petite, I am not buying any more non-X clothes. That isn't to say I am throwing all the nice stuff I've collected, or any new gifts, just not shelling out. The really good thing to come out of all this is that even Lara Petite is a body in it's own right, and I don't have to fear something 'stealing' the 'chest' mount point (and making those huge boobs show).

    There is also a Groupie 500L gift card (400L to join), but it needs using by midnight today!!!!

    'Wear' should be labelled 'Replace'. IMO it should also trigger a 'do you real mean to remove 14 other BoM layers?' question.
  19. Anna Nova
    I REALLY don't like sellers who advertise 'FREE' and charge, even 1$L. It's called lying.

    LaraX?

    Anna Nova replied to Rowan Amore's topic in Your Avatar

    Meva is very good. And new stuff seems to be LaraX too. Mea (the creator) is very nice to talk to.

    LaraX?

    Anna Nova replied to Rowan Amore's topic in Your Avatar

    Could be. I tend to be a 'shoot from the hip' kinda gal. Sorry.

    LaraX?

    Anna Nova replied to Rowan Amore's topic in Your Avatar

    So you all think I should buy things to help the poor creators, even if I have no use for them (for bodies I don't want to own)? Or if they contain technology, like V4 autohide, that actually makes the item unusable? Or perhaps because they have a history of leaving their customers in the lurch, like a certain body creator? Not gonna happen. If you want me to buy it (that is spend my SL allowance on it) then it has to suit me. And that is all I said.

    LaraX?

    Anna Nova replied to Rowan Amore's topic in Your Avatar

    I will not buy anything but LaraX Petite rigged clothes from now on. I've operated a 'no Lara Petite, no sale' policy for a year now, and it worked well. With a lot of older clothes that are rigged for Lara Petite fitting after a bit of alpha-ing, I already have a huge LXP wardrobe (in my CTS Wardrobe, of course). For my alt, it's LaraX or nothing. My other major policy shift is that I now check the demo for what version of built-in Maitreya Autohide script it has. V4 is a no-no, and that rules out Blueberry - and I was buying the megapacks without much thought before. The CSR tells me that I can remove it, but then I have to have 456780000 versions for all the different colour combos - not gonna happen. Of course, no demo, no sale... I encourage you to get tough with the Creators too, they want our money, they have to suit US.

    Well inspired by @taisiyakarpenko, and the rest of you, I went out and spent my allowance... I can never decide which color, so I always buy the fatpack - which is why my wallet isn't one.
  25. Anna Nova
    That might just be the most beautiful SL Avatar Picture I have ever seen. Thank you @taisiyakarpenko
