    Renting a place

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I rented a nice skybox, and I had issues with it, so the owner returned my $L. I need to get a decent one to take my clients to. I'm an Escort, so I don't earn enormous amounts, and have to split the income between maintaining myself and a rental. It has to be in an "A" region obviously. Preferably properly furnished. Any suggestions anyone???

    How can i achieve the realistic look ?!

    My biggest question is how everyone controls the background lighting, and achieves such realistic textures. I have Maitreya with the Bento Rebel head, and it looks OK, but I want better. And maybe I need a new skin. I attached a quick shot that use for my outfit folder so everyone has an idea.

    How do you feel about most avatars on the grid being human?

    As an escort you fit the needs of your clients this is understandable. But there are limits on how far that goes. Just because someone is a client doesn't mean they get to dictate all of your looks. Some people here in sl.. like to think it does..

     

    It would be impossible for my clients dictate all of my looks. They like different things, and they fall into groups of what they like to see me in. That would be very poor marketing on my part to stay totally with one outfit look. I maintain my basic appearance, because i want to be recognized quickly and consistently. Of course when I'm paid, I'll look like anything they want, but I've never been asked to change (other than getting naked). I'm a fashionista, so I like to show off my outfits, and I've been randomly paid by guys just for asking their opinions on my different clothes with no sex involved. I never ask for money for a fashion show, because they're helping me.

    No one would get very far with telling me to permanently stay with a look. They would be immediately blocked!!!

    I have a few decent outfits being a dragon. its more just hoomans have the most clothes.. because as furries not all of us think we need to wear clothes all the time. only when we need to be around prudish hoomans that get offended seeing the beauty of the naked body.

    I totally understand this. I have a Demoness appearance that I only have 1 outfit for. I won't change it because I wan't it to be consistent. A very good furry friend always wears the same thing, and I suspect it's for the same reason. I'll ask her when I'm inworld later on today, but still, that would only be one person's opinion. I DO change outfits a lot, but that's because I have to appeal to all kinds of tastes. I won't change my face or body though. Any hairstyle also has to work within the limits of my long blonds hair. My point is that we all seem to choose a particular "look," and work within that, whether human or not. Alts are a way around that for some. As for prudishness, it makes me sick to my stomach!!!

    Please everyone, don't dislike us because we are human. We all need to judge of course, but we should judge a person by their personalities. I came to SL roughly four months ago, and had no idea that prejudices exist on both sides. I'm actually shocked!!! I've experienced a bit of that because I'm an Escort, but that's my fantasy. Aren't we all here to be what we won't or can't be in RL???

    Stockings Applier for Maitreya

    Actually, an applier garter belt can very well poke through other pieces of tight fitting clothing, as it sits on another onion layer.

    BoM would neatly hug to your body and wouldn't even trigger alpha conflicts.

    Thanks!!! I haven't tried a BOM garter belt yet. I have  Maitreya. Any suggestions??? Obviously PM or IM me so we don't violate the TOS.

    Honestly, your best bet is to put it out free at first as a promotion. You have some very serious competition. Once we have an established wardrobe, we won't switch, because it's time consuming, and a learning curve. I think  with some addons yours could become popular.

    Why Free Clothing?

    in Fashion

    Posted

    Thanks to all of those who provide free clothes. When I first came on, I got cheated with empty boxes, and couldn't afford to put any more RL $ into SL. Free clothes got me going as a sub first, and had more clothes paid for. Now I Escort, and can afford to get high quality clothes. Free or low price doesn't always mean bad quality. What it does do, is get the SL economy working!!!

    Gold Coloured Pumps.

    When i first came on SL, I bought a pair of gold peeptoe pumps.They were for slink feet. Since I've gotten Maitreya, I prefer to stay with the standard. Those shoes looked "gold", but I've bought more shoes since, with colour huds, but yellow doesn't do it. Anyone know of anywhere to get a simple pair of gold peeptoes on MP??? PM me, or IM me inworld so we don't violate the TOS!!!

    "How NOT to make friends."

    It's easy, you treat people with as much respect and honesty as you can but never let them control your schedule. Most will run like the wind.

    If that's too harsh for them of course there's always an easier way regardless if it's a "friend", "date", "whatever".

    (Hypothetical scenario but also happens a lot in SL)Screenshot_2020-07-03_16-52-22.thumb.png.91bcf3fe8bfd5fea4d7cb12643ed153e.png

     

    This could be the reason I don't become involved in any relationship in SL other than friendships. The exception, of course, is sex. Escorts don't get involved with their clients. That would be unprofessional.

    simple fantasy av = furry to many people..

    and many people have stigmas about being associated with furries. 

    if its non human and anthro its a furry!!!!! burn it!!! kill it!!! Grosss!!!!

    if its a furry it must be into sex with animals!!!! EwwwwWWWWwwwWW!!!!!11111!!!

    I haven't had issues, but then again my Demonic form is ultra sexy, and I've had clients want that!!! The realistic feathered wings, horns, and glowing eyes make it clear that part of me isn't human though lol!!!

    I came into SL with no preconceived notions or prejudices, and I don't chat about booze or drugs, and my friends don't either (I have 177). We don't chat about sex (clients excepted). We discuss Escorting in IM, but only to help each other, not for fun.

    As far as I'm concerned we're in SL to have fun, and whatever form anyone takes is fine with me!!!

    Each language carves up the world somewhat differently. So each language provides its speakers with a particular worldview that won’t be quite the same as the one that speakers of other languages have. In other words, we see the world according to the framework our language imposes on us. And so knowing only one language limits our perception of reality.

    I couldn't agree more, and know that from personal experience.The multiple languages have to learned from birth though for that to be fully true. Being in Canada, I was taught French as a third, and our final year of highschool french was novel study, and we had to write the exam fully in french. It never influenced my way of thinking, but of course environmental (i.e cultural) exposure is also a factor.

    It has it good and bad sides.

    Of course, if the majority is just plain human, the rest of us stand out more, which I think can be a nice thing. On the other hand, if more people were into fantasy avatars and such, the market for wings, tails, horns, alternative skins and such would be much bigger and better. Better prices, greater selection and an inovation pressure. For example: It took ages for some stores to react to the simple fact that mesh is a thing.

    But generally I don't mind that people gravitate towards 100% human avatars. The only sad thing is, that whenever I go somewhere new, I have this doubt in the back of my head, if my avatars are even allowed to be there, which discourages me a little to explore. And I'm not talking about RP sims.

    I have a demonic AV, but only use it appropriate places. I don't understand why people here aren't into the fantasy AV's though. One of my best friends in SL is a fox!/human mix!! I am relatively new in SL,, so if you or anyone else has some insight, please let me know!!!

    I see both Drakonadrgora and Lindal's points. I hated school. but did very well. I did and do love learning though. I didn't like the dogma and regimentation. Introductory courses are necessary to give students an idea if they like and are good at a subject or not. And for them to see if they might want to pursue something as a career. I think the argument is about practical vs theoretical  teaching and knowledge. I DO think though that not enough practical was and likely is, being taught!!!

    For me, both are important, but not everyone is the same. We all have to follow what and who we are. We are all limited by our genetics and our environments.

    I'm fortunate enough to have two first languages, and language influences our way of thinking. I read a bit on this a few years ago. An Italian/English speaking woman was at a therapist who could also speak both. They spoke English for their sessions, but he suggested they switch to Italian. She replied: "But I can't be depressed in Italian!" I totally understand that!!!

    i hated school most of my life it kept me from the funner things.. like morning and afternoon cartoons.. sleeping when ever wanted..eating whenever wanted..

    I found the majority of school and what was taught there boring and meaningless. just a lot of useless information I would never use in my life. and to this day, most of what was taught I still dont need or use. school didn't teach you how to live.. it taught you how to be a good little robot. how not to think for yourself. how to accept what ever dogma that someone wanted to shove down your throat as if it was the only truth of how things had to be.

    I agree. We just had to play the game. My teachers knew full well though that I wasn't willing to accept dogma. I'm surprised i wasn't expelled!!! Maybe because my marks were so high.
