I wasn't offended, but Justines post did reflect a lack of understanding and appreciation of the environment here. Clearly it can be intimidating to walk into this virtual room of photographers, and we've all stood at the door and peered over the threshold, but an insecurity in relation to posting an image doesn't sit well with a text wall of what some might see as essentially negative feedback. I hope we hear from Justine again and I hope it includes an image or two, but somehow, I think that Sarah might have nailed it. Only time will tell...…….

Please don't let any of those perceptions put you off. We were all new here once, and this is the most friendly and inclusive place I know in SL. Nobody is judging what you do, it's not for that, as Rhonda just said, we are here to have fun, that's all. Whatever your level you'll be made welcome, and you can learn an awful lot from everyone here if you want to improve. I only started using Windlight in January, and apart from an occasional crop, and using a generic format from my laptop, I don't photo-edit. Although now Skell has spilled the beans on the free ones, that might change.

I still need to figure out how to enable this function, but I know that I was sent an offline IM while I was away, and I didn't get it in my IMs when I logged on...….so it disappeared.

That would also be with 'no payment details on file'??

Stand Off

You're saying things I can't compute. OMG! If it had looked like that a year ago when I peered into the rabbit hole I would not have joined. That looks way too gamey for me........... *shakes head*

I keep thinking about creating my perfect guy here in SL, because he hasn't shown up yet. But I'm not sure I have the patience. I've gone so far as to research bodies and heads but that's all. If I do this, it would be quite amusing to hit up some of the Forum Angels to see what happened......... *evil grin*......😊

"Assassin" suits that look better...……...……..*dives for cover*

Sufficiently eloquent without a doubt. Well behaved? I have insufficient data derived from sufficiently close encounters to be able to establish a benchmark...…….. 😉

/me facepalms I only just realised that offline IM to e-mail is possible. I need to tick that box later today...........👩‍💻

Born Free

My shopping tip of the day: In your MP store of choice, set the values high so that only FPs come up. That way you only get a few pages. Find what you want and just get the colour you want. Or the FP, obviously. 😎 It works incredibly well with hair.

I came across Mr Persistence yesterday. He was after the obvious, and the questions were relentless, including two tp requests and a friends request....all turned down. Me: "You ask a lot of questions for a guy with a blank profile" Him: "I don't think it matters" He's about four months in.......

Isn't cloaking your real age a major part of SL?😊 And its also the most common question in world in my short experience here. One thing I will say.... the older guys (the ones who admit their age) have the best chat and behaviour. At least in my experience. In fact one guy opened up with "I'm 66 so I guess you won't be interested". Oh and at the time I was in my Wonder Woman outfit.......and dancing with a guy I just met. But the 66 year old became one of my oldest SL friends, and nothing to do with his RL age. Here I'm 32 *coughs* and my sisters are 28 and 25. And that's how it will stay. 😎

Hot Lips MASH.......

United Colors Maven...……...The net leggings detach...…...so it makes a fancy beach costume……….

This is a leaner and meaner look........I like it!

I'm back!!!!!! First day back and in this black outfit I was asked to change at a club...…..OK it's bit minimalistic, but nothing shows through...……... Yeah first day and I get seriously pee'd off by some officious sim rep......Pfft! Welcome back to SL......haha! Oh excuse thumb through arm...……...just one of those things...……..

Slippery Slope

For me it would be quite simple. Premier status for me plus two alts Stipend for my main Access to Premium sims, and priority access for me and my two alts. No home, no concierge, no increase in groups etc etc. If that was available now for a bit less than current cost I would join.

Taking pics: Choose an outfit Choose a location Tp Engage windlight Mess around with shadow and sky settings Point and click Maybe crop and/or mess with generic settings......... Job done. Use poses as a last resort. Prefer to shoot while fidgeting.
