Ginger always and forever. As my late Irish grannie said ... Blondes get noticed. Redheads get remembered.

Interested to know as well. Running on a retina 5K iMac atm, but Monday my i7-10700 with 32GB RAM and a lovely nVidia 3070 video card arrives. I get 15 fps in a busy place, my partner same spot with a 2070 Super gets 50 with twice the viewing distance (and set two notches up on quality, just one under Ultra he is). Can not wait. Will post by Tuesday with notes, Jackson.

Sent an IM not about buying, just want to know where you got the Asian garden walls from, thanks!

Aww, thank you!

Nomad makes some really well designed and textured stuff. And a decent scale .. there are certain amazing builders that have gorgeous (sometimes furnished) designs but you walk in through a 9 foot tall door and the fridge and chairs and tables are all about 25% oversized for a 5'9" to 6'3" avatar size. Not everyone here sets their avatar height to 7 foot tall, it's sooo annoying.

OMG Yes!!!!!! That's the one. Thank you sooooo much.

TY Cindy, not the one, but thanks! The one I'm thinking about had a less "darkish" feel. The closest designer I can think of in terms of feel/look is to provide a comparison to what I am remembering is the lovely Apple Fall.

For the life of me I can not remember where I saw this place. At a builder who had many atmospheric, lovely (unfinished) buildings. Often set in woodlands or forest for the demoes, possibly wintery. This building I need to find again was a former ballet/dance studio; basically, an empty manor, plaster walls and tile floors, main floor was some small entry halls and a centre square room. Upstairs had a few rooms and then a railed area that overlooked the dance area. Perhaps with parquet flooring? Had a European feel to it. Anyone have any idea of the builder? I have looked through my bookmarks and have done MP searches, but can not re-find it. Help me SL hive mind!

I have not done portraiture professionally for about 30 years (originally did a lot of landscape, nudes and portraits), now doing strictly geometric minimalist, colour field, and abstract stuff but certainly can. I still do about 30 minutes of figures every day to keep loose. Say hi in game and let me know what you're looking to achieve.

The Maitreya auto foot thing says to place a script and attributes card in the "root prim" of your shoe object (one only, if two separate shoes) so that you foot automatically changes to the correct height. What's a root prim, and how do I find that in the shoe object? (I do know what to put there when I find it!)

The learning curve is what drives many new first-timers away. Happy to chat in-world and chat through a few things I have recently been through.

Agreed, enjoyable!

Relative newbie (also tried a few times in the past). Feel free to say hi if you want to go sailing with John and I.

I just had not umm, gone down that far before in the forums.

There's an adult forum section?

Got a hair stye and hair base I liked at Stealthic. perfect, thanks.

Here he is. Still working on getting the right hair ... the demo I tested on a Genus head and loved I because it was slicked down and flat (from i.mesh). Didn't notice there isn't the same styling available on the LeLutka head I grabbed yesterday, so off to find better, more slicked down hair. PS. Whoever mentioned the AO place called Body Language? I love you! My wallet, however, hates you. In addition to buying my male AO there, I found a female AO I may replace Erika (Vista) with.

Was not sure, in my still early days, how this was all going to work out given my earlier experiences with low frame rates and really laggy experiences. This time around, everything has been smooth, even with the little bumps and frustrations that always trip up newbies in SL. Heck, I even have a store in the Marketplace and an in-world art gallery all set up, and more outfits that I can shake a stick at. Yay! But my big question now is ... did I make a mistake having both a male avatar and female (preferred) avatar tied to one account? At this point, to change over, I'd need to re-invest maybe 10,000L into recreating my male avatar in an alt account. I can afford that hit, and even the time recreating maybe 15 male outfits, but wondering what the rationale is for having two (or in some cases dozens) of alt accounts with different characters versus simply having one account with many different looks? I have a partner with a male and female account, so am familiar with this notion, but ... did I make a mistake? What % of players with vastly different looks (male/female/trans/creature/animal/etc) are using alt accounts to facilitate this? If you had to convince me to create a male account for something akin to the RL me ... what would be the one argument or persuasive sentence you would use? Or to flip that around, why should I seat using just the one account? Thank you for any feedback and thoughts.

Fast in and out this morning. Success. Second location. When you arrive turn around, there is a second board with the heads right behind you that no one seems to be seeing.

As a fellow ginger I can only add ... redheads FTW!

I don't see 2nd or 3rd locations posted?

It sure is busy, but I know I'll punch in eventually, grab both heads (I run my female and male avis under just the one account), and get out quick for the next person. LeLutka tag on and ready!

Foxxies!! One of my favourite places.

For my male avatar I went with Slink Physique as it was overall less muscle-bulky looking that any other I could find straight out of the box, without using any sliders to slim myself down. I tend to be picky though, and wandered all over looking for a head that didn't look like some macho, angry, steroid-popping hulk-man ... again, as in default settings. Not every guy needs to look like a completely chiseled male model selling some cologne on the side of a yacht as the damn default settings. I seem to recall that the Signature store for Gianni and Geralt also has in the lobby area a skin (?) that will take the bulk off your body, but don't remember the name. It's on a prominent billboard though, can't miss it.

Gorgeous. Must know where that was taken ...
