    Where Do You Demo?

    I'll usually park myself in a corner somewhere and camera-browse, trying on demos right there. I'll try to avoid unnecessary nudity, and I'll add on the demo clothing before removing my existing pieces (and vice versa, for changing back), but at the end of the day most (all?) clothing stores are marked as Moderate, and if I TP out to try them on then the temptation to go look elsewhere for a complimentary demo is too great, two hours later and I have ~30 demos from six different stores.

    High-lag events are different, simply because the effort-ometer swings in the other direction. Body-part demos, like skins, makeup tatttoos, etc, I'll try at home, simply because that will involve me stripping down to the bare bones and playing around with lighting, often for far longer.

    Ditto. This is what I do as well.

    What are you listening to?

    A few years ago, our local community theater did Anything Goes. The young woman who played Reno Sweeney was just fabulous, and brought the house down every evening. Unlike the rest of the cast, who worked up approximations of singing voices during the two months of preparation, she was shaking the rafters from the first rehearsal. During tech week, I got myself in trouble a few times by singing along from parts of the set I was building. I can't hold a note in a bucket, but that play just makes me wanna sing...

     

    Singing along and the larger than life characters, are a huge part of what makes musicals so entertaining (at least for me).

    Les Miserables just played at the Dallas Fair Park Music Hall, too bad I missed it. They often have some of the best off-Broadway productions there. The last one I went to see was Oklahoma a few years ago.

    Hey Tess!

    I had a lot of fun meeting and chatting with you!  If you'd like me to pose for you again, you only need to ask. :)

    We really should organize an inworld forum meet and greet, so that we all can have an opportunity to get to know the other posters here.

    It's so much easier using a photography alt to take pictures so I don't bug friends all the time, downside, new Catwa head so it's getting expensive.

    I've had the same problem. The manager did IM me and explain that he thought I most likely didn't intend to look young, but he'd rather be safe than sorry. I'm 6ft 2. I suppose it doesn't help that I am using Slink Hourglass without having 2ft wide hips, but even so there's no way you could confuse my avi with a child.

    It's caused a few issues with misaligned poseballs (eg hovering midair while dancing), but upscaling my avatar without losing good proportions is easier said than done.

    Same, I don't have super wide hips or enormous breasts, but I didn't think that I looked like a child either. I know all too well about the frustration of the misaligned poseballs. LOL

    I can see if my avi was shorter, but it isn't. It seems that SL has made adjustments for the super tall avatars and expects the rest of us to catch up. I'm as tall/short as I'm going to get for the time being - as it is, I come up to most guys belly button.. I'm not trying to shrink down to his kneecaps. LOL

       I don't understand how people think it looks good! Like ... maybe I'm pretentious or something, but I take pride in my avi. Like I don't understand how do people think the pin heads, look good. Even when I didn't have RL $ to spend I earned my L$ to buy clothes, skins, hair AO's ect...

    I don't understand it either, tbh. I'm visually impaired, so I spend a LOT of time, trying to make sure that my avie is proportionate. When I can't immediately spot something on me that looks off, I'll ask a friend to check it for me, since their eyes are better than mine. I'm always adjusting and readjusting. lol

    But when it comes to walking around with a tiny head and overly large body, it should be glaringly obvious. Apparently, for many it isn't.

    If someone wants to volunteer to be my eyes in-world and help a half-blind girl keep her avie in order, step right on up! I don't mind the input at all. LOL

    All the owners of those extremely tall avatar owners should go in front of the mirror in RL and take a careful look how are the real human proportions.
    If the avatar is very tall it's impossible in SL to get the proportions right. The arms will be too short, often the hands are too small, and the feet are too small.
    And naturally there is also the "pin" head problem often seen in very tall muscular male avatars.

    I agree and these people usually have nearly all of their sliders bumped up to 100. I used to keep my height slider between 60-65 about a year ago, but grew tired of colliding face first into the ample rear-ends of these glamazon giantesses every time I tped into a sim. Or when one would stand in front of me and totally block out the sun, the moon, and the stars!

    I once got temporarily banned from a club, because the owner thought I was a kid....

    when-nick-young-the-basketball-player-mePersonally, I don't know of any child avatars who are walking around with breasts, but I digress. I've also never had any problems with proportions, even at my current height and my avie appears much smaller (slimmer) in-world than it does in my pictures, despite me being pear-shaped. 

    I see the pin heads everywhere, just came across one yesterday who thought his avie was the sexiest thing on two virtual legs. I beg to differ.:/
