    Thanks JingleWorm! I'm not exactly sure what I was going for, but I just wanted the lines to look smoother. Lol

    My first attempt at using photo editing software.

    Yep, my parents and most of my family are from Louisiana! My grandmother and various family members practiced hoodoo and voodoo.

    Unfortunately, there's no Hoodoo/Voodoo equivalent to this Wiccan greeting, so I'll just say be blessed!

    I have my spellbook out and ready to go!
  6. Destiny Marques
    That's what I'm dying to know.

    Thank you! I'm relatively new to photography, so I'm still learning a lot. I have a Flickr link in my signature, if you'd like to take a look.

    All things considered, 700L$ doesn't seem like such a bad trade off. If you get it, please post some after pictures so I can see how it turned out!

    Oh really? If you could tell us a bit more about it, that would be great. Thanks Vanity!

    I have the ULukie body, but never wear it. She gave all phatazz owners a free copy when it first came out.

    It's a fine day for fishing!

    Thanks for checking into it Iki! I guess for those who are interested in purchasing it, this gives them a bit more info. It's still too bad that there's no demo to try out first.

    There isn't a lot of info on the MP page; It doesn't state if it's Omega compatible either. The store owner may be willing to supply that missing info though.

    Thanks Whirly! Maybe someone can post a review of June too. It might be helpful for those who are looking for a well-made plus size body.
  15. Destiny Marques
    Yeah, I hate when they don't include a demo. I'm not sure why they'd think anyone would want to buy it without one. Maybe if someone in the forum has tried it, they will graciously post a review.

    I'm not personally looking for a plus-sized shape, because I don't need one. But there was a discussion about plus-sized avies in another thread and about how some are so badly made. I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this particular mesh avatar.

    Has anyone here heard of it? It's called "June". https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/piggu-June-Mesh-Avatar-v101/10924379

    I don't know if you are still looking, but check ItGirls, Fiore, L'Etre, theSkinnery, Modish, and a few other places. Those should get you started. Most other skin shops just tint their skins dark without adding any highlights or shading that many black or darker skin tones have, so they end up looking dull and ashen. If you need anymore help feel free to msg me here or inworld.

    I think you can do a Maitreya shape on most of the bodies. I can get close on my hourglass if I set most of the body sliders near zero. It's basically just a straight shape that you can make curvier to some degree, but most tend to wear their Maitreya shapes on the slender athletic side or the thinner side of curvy and that isn't representative of every body type. I have a Maitreya shape, but I rarely wear it these days. I wasn't very fond of the Freya shape, because when they first hit the market, it had cankles. LOL It seemed no matter what I did, the cankles would not go away. I'm sure Tricky has updated his bodies of few times since then, so I may have to revisit the Freya body in the near future.

    Exactly. There is no "ideal" body type, because we are all different shapes and sizes, in RL and SL. The OP appears to be a pear-shape, and by nature, when compared to other body types, we ARE disproportionate. Which is the reason I'm posting pictures to remind people that there is no set "type". Not everyone wants to be shaped like a prepubescent boy, and not everyone wants wide hips and a big 'ol butt - most people fall somewhere in the middle; to each their own. As my mom used to say - If you like it, I love it.
  24. Destiny Marques
    This is true. Most shapes in SL do tend to run extremely tall. My own shape is 2.03 meters and I'm still considered "average height" or even "short" when compared to most shapes around me and I'm def not taller than the majority of guys in SL, nor am I as tall as them, but I have noticed females avies who are either matched in height or taller than most guys around them. I don't expect everyone in SL to be the same height though, because that's not reflective of RL height differences, but I do appreciate not getting hit in the face with someone's virtual rear when tping into a sim. I thought I'd post a picture of my shape for comparison (and gratuitous pic dropping). And a RL picture of the body type that it's based on, which is close to my RL body. Pardon the demos, I'm in the middle of trying stuff on. I don't like to go outrageous with the sliders, but I do like my shape to look curvy and proportionate.

    Not to mention SL's limited graphics when compared to what's out there currently on the gaming (3D animation) market, and how many of the avatars in those games can indeed look extremely realistic in appearance and bodily proportions.
