  1. I can ill afford to upgrade from 6144 at this point, but I might have to come just to see it! Too cool!
  2. Relatedly, it seems to me like a lot of the retro-vintagey stores are on board--thinking of Valentina, Belle Epoque, Just Because, Pixicat. I like that aesthetic so I've added some nice new stuff. I use third-party mesh myself, but having a LaraX size included is a big selling point for me when I'm looking at mesh to buy. But as always there's a mix of items that inspire me and ones that just...don't, lol.
  3. Missing Mile is based on a book by Poppy Z. Brite
  4. Both, I guess! I thought they were the same one in two colors.
  5. Cooling pad. It changed my (second) life for the price of about $25. Seriously, I cannot overstate how much of a miracle it felt like.
  6. I think MSN Design is one of the others (also at Shop & Hop)!
  7. They really did encourage Senra designs for this event, though! It was in the call for designers. And I've only been to one sim so far and have still seen more Senra stuff than I've ever seen before this. So if someone wants to use the bodies, it's a good place to go.
  8. There's also a lot of free stuff for the Senra body at the Shop & Hop currently. Check out this post for more: https://fabfree.wordpress.com/2024/01/31/fabfrees-ultimate-guide-to-the-valentine-shop-hop/ There wasn't much clothing for it, so for this event Linden Labs specifically encouraged people to design for it.
  9. VAW are interactive, though I like the look of LF better personally.
  10. You can rename your own body, so if someone scans your avatar, it could say "Tazzie Tuque's Mesh Body" instead of Belleza GenX. So it wouldn't get picked up by bots. But it won't affect the vendor of the original body, so you wouldn't have any trouble finding it if you wanted one.
  11. One I really had fun wearing was this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Crayon-Avatar/8204363 I bought it last year during Fantasy Faire because one of the fairelands was done up like a kid's daydream, with a lot of crayons in the design. It's cheap and low complexity and really cute.
  12. And like...those spankers have a setting where only you and your partner get the text! It'll still jiggle, but it's a lot less intrusive.
  13. Kris does look kinda mean, doesn't he? 😂 I've got my alt wearing him for an RP character right now because the RP character is mean. Before spending more money, demo some skins and shapes and see what you can come up with. ETA: The head I had on him before that was too "nice" was Quinn, so that might be one to demo! I tried to make him a biker once while still on Quinn and he just looked like a real sweetheart.
  14. Yep. I didn't make alts to get the heads, I got the heads for alts already in existence.
  15. Because people go, "Wow, this is a good-looking head with lots of great features! But it's not exactly the look I want." So then when they decide to find a different head, they're already well-disposed toward Lelutka and know their way around the HUD and own some skins for it. I have 3 free lelutka heads (5 if you count the male ones I got for my alt) and I just bought one full price a few weeks ago for a specific look.
  16. I've been seeing a lot of X also. It helps that a lot of designers I personally like have picked it up. Something comes out and I would have bought it in 5.3 too, but hey, it's X, sweet! I'm not tossing my 5.3 wardrobe either; I'm switching between bodies on the regular.
  17. My username was always a kludge, having come up with it after roughly my first 50 attempts were already taken; I recently read and loved the book Starling House so here goes. Premium Plus made it a less intimidating price lol.
  18. Yes there was a stealth LaraX from Belle Epoque last month, I think it was Collabor88? Anyway it was a gown and fit Old!Lara surprisingly badly so I tried it on X and it was perfect. Valentina has an X outfit at Anthem just today!
  19. No, though you'll want to try it out on the mesh body and head you want to use, to see if it even looks good. It'll work on any avatar, in the sense that it'll let you rez and not be a permacloud, but it'll look really different depending on what you're applying it to.
  20. A shape is a set of numbers; every shape will look different on classic bodies and on each different mesh body, because they respond differently to the numbers. To rez, you need shape, system hair (mostly used for brow shape now), skin, and eyes. A mesh body is optional. Both the shape and the skin affect what your face looks like. A lot of face skins are designed to look best on a specific head, but you can use them on a different head if you like how it looks. The bad news is that skin and shape makers sometimes photoshop their pictures so they don't look much like the inworld look. You can sometimes get a demo--there'll be something weird about it (like giant hands) so that it's not just giving away the shape for free.
  21. Ooooh! Great news. I wonder if they'll update the Estelle skirt. If it were RL I'd have holes in it by now, as much as I've worn it!
  22. Vlad Blackburn's BOM Outfitters: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/25970/search?utf8=✓&search[category_id]=&search[maturity_level]=GMA&search[keywords]=bom+outfitters The "High Fashion" top became especially useful to me--it's tintable and the neckline looked natural with a lot of retro-styled dresses.
