  1. I frequently see people say this, but it's pretty much the same as it was back then, entertainment-wise. Clubs are always notorious for opening, lasting for a little bit (if they're lucky), and shutting down and always have been - even back in 2005/2006 that was happening. As it stands now, there's still a ton of stuff to do in SL, despite things opening and closing. *inhales* Boating/sailing, fishing, surfing, swimming, scuba diving, horseback riding, motorcycle riding, auto racing, hoverboarding, roller skating, ice skating, exploring, hot air ballooning, gaming, roleplaying, shopping, scripting, combat gaming, wrestling, running a business, clubbing, dancing, DJing, hosting, vampiring, demoning, mermaiding, dragoning, furrying, creating avatars, styling avatars, photography, machinima, fashion modeling, blogging, blogging about fashion, blogging about bloggers blogging about fashion, selling, buying, hunting for freebies, socializing, adult activities, creating art, admiring art, buying art, showcasing art, life sim games (BeYou), breedables, raising pets, raising breedable pets, petting breedables, decorating, landscaping and terraforming, playing house, building houses, selling houses, running dating services, planning weddings, hosting weddings, crashing weddings (in more ways than one!), getting divorced, roleplaying a divorce lawyer and profiting off of divorces... *exhales* This all still exists, just as it did back in 200*. Now yes, people are absolutely more spread out around the grid, but there are groups that exist for much of this stuff, too, so it's not too difficult to connect with others interested in similar activities. It's really all about making your own fun - same as it ever was, I suppose. I can't comment on the land prices, though. Paying hundreds a month for entertainment has never been my jam, so I never kept up with all that.
  2. I saw that on Twitter right after it went down. They sure traveled a long way to get to Pride.
  3. I see this crap all the time on Twitter. It's so freaking annoying, too. All low-effort troll posts and you can completely predict ahead of time not only which hashtags and thread comments are going to attract them, but what they're going to say. Ugh. Plus, the weirdly named hashtags with low numbers of tweets that just so happen to be sitting on the trending bar - if you watch long enough, you can see them climb rapidly from 1,000 tweets up to 10k and beyond. I'm at the point now where if I see any seriously dumb hashtags on the trending bar, I just block them.
  4. Epic's got a Flickr account, though she's not updated anything on there since 2020. She had similar sneaker designs with those bows, though I don't see that exact pair. It's possible that was an exclusive in the past, maybe, if they are indeed hers. Wait hang on...I found em on her Facebook. Don't get too excited, though. The post is from 2021. No idea if she's still got a store or not.
  5. Oh dang what. Welp. I need to pay more attention, I suppose. Then again, my sewing machine has been awaiting my presence for a few years now, sooooo. The last time I tried to design a skirt kinda broke me! Okay, back to your regularly scheduled cult shenanigans. 😂
  6. You got the boots!!!! And wait...there are AFK attachments?! And they're SILLY? I need to look into this pronto.
  7. The scary part is I find the whole entire phenomenon super fascinating and always want to research into it, but then once I start, I get too creeped out to really dig in. I just don't have the stomach for it, despite being interested in the psychology behind it all. I know there are numerous documentaries about all of them but...I just can't sit through them. I'm the same way with true crime stories, I suppose. Always want to know why, until I hear why... LOL. NOOOOT touching it! Let's not open any of that up.
  8. Yup! That's true, too. And we'll never know. Maybe there are RP ones. Maybe there are real ones. Unless someone's willing to talk about it, we're all in the dark on that. Which is fiiiiiiine by meeeeee, thaaaaanks! Ah damn, I just noticed my forum avie now makes me look kinda sus. 🤣
  9. Of course, but from how I read the first post, I think that's what the OP was asking. She's free to correct me if I'm wrong, of course! Maybe she didn't mean something quite to that extreme, but the word "cult" doesn't exactly call up happy, healthy, cheerful imagery for me, so that's how I interpreted it.😂 "I mean groups and communities that seek to indoctrinate or "brainwash" its members in its own dogmatic teachings, to the point of fanaticism, extreme fervor and zealotry. Personality cults that may have its followers venerate and revere a leader and their teachings." - my first thought? Jim Jones. Second thought - Charles Manson. Etc. As to whether or not that exists in SL, I doubt anyone outside of those communities would know, and people within probably won't be too willing to give up info about that openly. The groups most likely won't be public, that's for dang sure!
  10. Oh boy. But anyway, moving on... Loooove. I don't think that's what the OP meant. I think they meant something more along the lines of...Heaven's Gate, or sumfin'.
  11. I agree! For me, I liked the direction Signature Alice seemed to be going in (I liked the leg shape), and that's always something I felt was missing in the market, in addition to an actual slender male body without super muscles. Sure, we could toss on Legacy and maybe use a BOM layer to get toned abs, but I really think what's missing is a body that has gently sculpted toned arms, legs, shoulders, etc. in addition. Athletic bodies for women are in short supply. I'm aware of Dev Nana, but I demo'd that once and it was a bit big for me with too much definition - maybe it takes a lot of tweaking to tone that one down a bit. Hmm, maybe decide what kinds of bodies you're interested in designing for. Very curvy, gently curvy, somewhat petite/slender, etc. Then you can narrow it down from there.
  12. No worries! I can't remember if they do free group promos often, but the 150L fee is so worth it anyway for when the free head promos roll around.
  13. I saw an option to sit on AFK in there, which I had off. And some other options for the length of time before setting AFK. I've had all that stuff turned off forever so I'm not even sure what sit on AFK looks like.
  14. Mine doesn't do the AFK slouch thing either. Just tested it with two viewers and both alts. I haven't seen any avatars do that in a long time, come to think of it.
  15. I don't see how that would be possible. Considering some guys go for the ultra-buff Kario vs. a woman who chooses a more petite frame vs. a female bodybuilder vs. a thin androgynous shape vs. Kupra curves - how would one body accomplish that range? I'd love if it could buuuuuut... And oof, making clothes to account for all that sounds like a nightmare. 😂
  16. I STILL don't know how TwoSided does it. She designs for at least 8 bodies + a bunch of chest mods/body variations (including Simple Stuff). I do wish we had at least one toned/lightly-muscled female body that has good support, though. I think we're good on everything else (well, another petite/thin one couldn't hurt - with better shoulders than Maitreya!).
  17. I typically wear a combination of goth, punk, and industrial. The thing is, 100% goth stores haven't really had a huge presence since flexi was a thing (no idea why!). So, I typically shop multiple "regular" stores that have a few pieces that lean that way, and mix and match like crazy. Then accessorize my prims off with the right hair, jewelry, shoes, makeup, etc. Some places you can try: L'Emporio & PL - an actual goth store AsteroidBox - kinda gothy/punky Ghoul - some gothy stuffs Addams - for staples like tanks/pants/jeans Blueberry - same as Addams - just for picking up various staples (fishnet stockings, too) and they have some nice leather pants Vision Stop Store Over Technofolk - if you wear Legacy Female AtaMe for leather/PVC/fetishwear Krankhaus - Easier to find on the MP LeiMotiv Bombshell Nerido Justice MALified
  18. [AK] Heads News & Support is the one I've always gotten my freebies and notices from. And yes, it's L$150L currently to join. They do a lot of 50% off sales and promos, but I'm not seeing anything in recent notices about a free group join period. I'll check again and update if I find anything.
  19. I personally wear the Queen HDPro as my regular head and occasionally wear a few Lelutka Evos. I also demo them a lot. Shaping a Lel head IMO is not quite like shaping a Catwa at all. There are parts I expect to move and turn and rotate in certain ways that simply don't. I personally find Catwas more pleasant to work with and shape for that reason. But it's up to you, of course! Lel has many different heads you can get a similar look with. Howeeeverrr.... If you're starting with Catya and want a very similar-looking upgrade, take a look at MajerSoft. With a good skin, I can see that working quite well. With MajerSoft, you'll get a similar nose and mouth to Catya. I'll post examples below. The last one's not a Flickr link as I couldn't get it to embed properly, grr. I'll add the actual link to her Flickr post so you can see the credits below the photo.

  20. Yuuuup. That's the Prada one that blew up social media for a good while.
