I managed to get almost my look using a Leluka Nova head and a skin and shape from a place called Lara Hurley.
I want to better define my nasolabial folds (commonly called smile lines) and have been told places like Izzies and others have those as BoM addons, so any recommendations for those would be super appreciated! I am also working on the lips. The sliders for those I can't make work well but I am new to really editing a shape on my own and am getting there.
This is now me almost right! happy November everybody!!! 💖

Hi, back after a nearly year long break from griefers. Yay I think?
Anyway, Im hoping that someone might have a suggestion where I might find a head shape like this or as close to it as possible. I own several Lelutka heads (Ceylon, Kaya, Nova, Raven) and would buy another head if I need to get a basic shape or skin really close to this look.
The closest match I have found that looks something like the shape is at Wren's (for Ryn, called Rysa, image attached).
Any ideas or suggestions would be really helpful.
Also, is 7 Deadly Skins gone now?

Well, well ... I know when it happened ... Here are my visit logs (redacted, of course) ...

Three years in and this place still is a swamp of immature stupid.

This is why I distrust people so much here!!!
I've been through some stupid trolling and heartbreak, but nothing like this stunt ...
I come back after a RL trip, and pop over to my sim. Not my home, but my elaborately decorated and themed sim. 4096 of nicely designed gardens and club. And its destroyed. Every item has been moved thrown into the air, twisted, flipped, destroyed. The entire sim. Took weeks of designing to get it right.
Sadly for whoever pulled this stunt (mom must have let you out of the basement) I have two things: one, only my group members could have done it. Two? I have a hidden security orb that records everyone who steps foot on the parcel. I have 14 names to go through. I will find you. I will report you for griefing. I will get you kicked from SL.
I promise.

OMG, I am so silly! I thought if it wasn't highlighted, they weren't available. I am so embarrassed. 😳

I've been refreshing every day to grab a home in Sakura. I've seen Newbrookes and even houseboats come up, but no Sakura homes.They seem to be as rare as hen's teeth.

Could I be allowed the ability to list the 4096 on Cherso in Search if I paid the extra $30/week? Say an even 1100?

Hi, seeking a mainland rental, Adult rated, 4096sq m with the standard 1406 prims.
I want to be able to list the parcel in Search as well (have the ability to check that box in the About Land). Not for a club, but a semi-private low traffic but accessible garden type build. I'm having little luck finding landlords that allow a rental parcel to be added to Search.
Thanks.

Hi, seeking a private island rental, Adult rated, 4096sq m with the standard 1406 prims.

Thank you! I also found out about Bray's Place by reading Ryan Shultz's article but it's gone in-world now.

Hi there!
Just dipping my toes into what I guess is known as the furry scene in SL. Not hardcore, just I'm a feline lover IRL and have a new avatar look that's full on feline with Maitereya body and feline head and BOM skin from the popular places (without the paws yet, that kind of weirds me out a bit and I love my shoes).
I'm looking for friendly clubs (dance/music) and hangouts where I can slowly get used to the whole furry thing in SL, that may not be purely populated by furries (humans/anthros welcomed) that are not strictly hook up places. I'm not into other furries in that way (and only recently learned what the term "y*ff" means) and am just looking for chat and social stuff. A couple of places I stumbled into via search were pretty much strip/escort places rather than dance/social clubs.
Any recommendations? Thanks!
Also, any of the major clubs welcoming to furry looks? I went to one of my regular (semi-formal) spots where I regularly dance, in my new look, and even though I'm known there was told to leave and come back human. I tip there regularly so they've just lost my business.

I'm not sure with some of the more "fringe" content available within SL that you can stumble across or easily find, that any platform would want to come within 10 feet of SL.
I'm not speaking about what most SLers seem to consider vanilla but hardcore BDSM stuff that goes on, I'm speaking about the much more taboo kinks that get explored in SL, and quite openly.
Not sure that anyone would want to have that association.

Well that lasted all of a few months for me!
Rant time!!!!
From what I can see, LL has "fixed" a "bug" that allowed users to create sub-folders in their Outfits folder. In other words, taken away the ability to create sub-folders to organize clothing so that if you haven't created sub-folders previously your Outfits folder will now be one long list of outfits. And perhaps worse? Even newly created outfits can not be moved into previously created folders.
That has to be one of the stupidest UX decisions I've seen (in what is arguably not the best UI to begin with) and appears to affect all viewers. I use Firestorm and now can't organize by subfolders anymore.
LL? I'm a pretty chill mid-30s gal, but seriously -- what the sweet hell?
This is roughly equivalent to Windows or macOS removing the ability to create directories/folders in your Documents folder and forcing you to dump hundreds if not thousands of outfits just in a heap in the directory.
Is is just me, or does anyone else find this utterly maddening?

I'm looking for a kimono for Lara petite. I've found a number of good ones (e.g., Silvery and EXia), but none are made for Lara Petite it seems. Have you seen us Japanese girls*? I would have thought Petite would be common.
Anyway, looking for formal, not a yukata, something I can dress up with traditional zori and tabi.
Thanks!
* Okay, I am an exception at 180cm and am taller than most of my relatives. But that aside!

The Forge. A&Y? Maybe one of those two vendors?

What about some of the stuff at Bauhaus, would that qualify?
(Has to check out Shi, as this is the second mention I've seen of it recently.)

I had this sort of thing happen once right after I got back into SL a year ago. The general conversation went something like this:
[him]: Hey, your avatar isn't looking especially sexy, can I help with that? I can give you some clothes and stuff.
(a few seconds reading his profile and seeing a note something like "dominant women are an oxymoron")
[me]: Only if I can help you fix your blatant misogyny.He said bad words to me then. I blocked and de-rendered him in reply.
And he wasn't even cute. Just your SL typical overly muscled, tattooed dude with a hipster haircut and beard.
I can buy my own stuff and stumble through skins and shapes and BOM all by myself, and ask for help when I hit a snag. Men, I tell ya.

Seems like it is only the Base one that is causing the issues. Pushing breasts together with a dark shadow. Mince (skinny) and muscled seem to be working with a new download, so I think I'm okay to buy and just use the muscled one. Thanks.

1 hour ago, Ayashe Ninetails said:
That's such a shame! And you bought the head skin already? I was going to suggest trying one of their Velour-matching shades.
That's a good idea to ask - hopefully you get a response soon.
Edit: I just tried on the Sunkissed Prestige body demo with the Sunkissed Giwa face skin demo and it looks okay on Petite. What are you seeing happen? It could be the actual demo itself. Are you trying on the Sunkissed Mince version? That one is suuuuper thin/skinny. Unfortunately, they don't have all the tones with all the body types available in the demo and it might actually look better in the Base version. Try one of the other Prestige body shades in Base or Plus and see if that looks any different on you. When you buy the full version, you will get Sunkissed in those styles, too.
Yeah, the minced is silly skinny, ribcage showing is not a healthy look.
I didn't see a Base Sunkissed for Maitreya in my demo folder. Both the Minced Sunkissed and anotehr Base one though just ruined the look of the Petite breasts. Flattened and squished them together obscenely, and added a dark shadow between them. Almost like the unrealistic look of Lara (without Petite) if you dialed the breast size down to 0. Will re-download the demo and see if that's an issue.
They also only have the five shades available for the Giwa Lelutka head, and the Sunkissed is about the closest to the real me.

I watched a video online and then asked a few friends how they do theirs. This applies generally to both Outfits, Clothing, and Inventory (as I see them in Firestorm).
This is mine in a nutshell ...
I have broken down Inventory into broad categories named with square braces and caps, like [BUILDINGS], [LANDSCAPE], [FURNITURE], [DECOR], [TERRAIN], [LIGHTING], etc. In some of these, like [BUILDINGS], I have sub subfolders also in braces to separate out clearly different products. In that case, it might be [BUILDINGS] and then inside [residential], [commercial], [scifi], [fantasy], [small], and the like. That way I can find my Trompe or Scarlet Creative houses quickly in the [residential], and my little beach hut or garden shed in their own folders [small].
Same goes for the other major categories, though I usually do fewer [subfolders]. All this lets me find a rug [DECOR] or a sofa or bed [FURNITURE] in a fast way. It's still sometimes hard sorting down through a hundred landscape items, but at least i know where to look.
This method also goes for Clothing and Outfits. Clothing top level might look like [ACCESSORIES], [BOTTOMS], [TOPS], [DRESSES], [FORMAL], [LINGERIE], [JEWELLERY], [SHOES] etc. Subcategories may apply so [BOTTOMS] might have [skirts], [jeans], [pants], and [shorts]. Outfits the same. Top level includes [CASUAL], [DRESSES], SWIM], [WORKOUT/EXERCISE], and so on.
Additionally here's another tip I got from YouTube. Outfits.
I have one "base" outfit of me. Naked. Hairless. All the skins and BOMs etc. Other "Outfit" folders (and the favourites panel) will have Hair and Accessories, but then the subfolders of outfits only have the clothing for that outfit and sometimes options HUDs, but not anything to do with my body. That way I can simply right click "Remove from outfit" and take off my clothes, and "Add to outfit" to simply put a new full outfit on.
The folders of my outfit names, btw, are also "coded" and always the same format. A letter code (i.e., D for dress) then like this: D - Knee length tight backless wool / colour / name / brand. If not a specific colour and I have a HUD in folder? I uses the term "colours" instead of, say, "pink". I sometimes have to shorten the brand name but most are easily recognizable; e.g., DD = Dead Doll, HH = Hilly Haalan, CK = Candy Kitten, SEN = Seniha, etc.A friedn showed me that one. I thought they were nuts then really adopted it since I can immediately know what the outfit is without opening the folder. I also have a generic top level outfit called [***TOPS***] that has links to just tops so when I have an outfit of jeans and heels added, for example, I can open that one out and pick out a specific top to Add. Same with Jewellery, and Accessories like scarves and glasses.
Also, all the items in the Outfits folder are LINKS to the real thing, and not the actual item. That way I can't make a mistake and delete and outfit with the real items in it.
Hope that helps. Happy to show you in world.
PS. Final power tip? If you have Maitreya there are cheap "foot shapes" that you can find. Add those to your Favourite Items pane in Firestorm and you can easily change from high heels to sandals in about 3 seconds without needing to open the Maitreya HUD. My screen is HUDless.

Sunkiss (Velour) and Sunkissed (Moccino) are so far apart. I've got a notecard into the Moccino folks asking about whey their default "Prestige" skins that should match their head skins look so bad on Petite.
Japanese *adult* female skins/shapes shops?
in Wanted
Posted
Beside Moccinno, where are the nicest looking adult Japanese (not just generic "Asian", please if possible) female skins/head shapes?
I can find a few places like Mudskin that have a few, but they all look like they are late teens or early 20s. I would prefer a bit older look like early 30s?
I missed the big Skin Fair or else could have found some new vendors there.
Thank you for any help.
