I had to break from my lurking to simply say, this is magnificent.

I think you might have found your true vocation. Wicked grin.

Couldn't agree more Lil. Drama is down yes... but so is the excitement and engagement. Back in the day when the Forum Cartel was formed, we fought like cat and dog here... met inworld and Hugged/Danced it out. Shrugs... maybe it's the world that has changed. Folks are entitled to call us grumpy oldbies, I can live with that, but we gave up a lot to live in this new sanitised realty.

I went the full Hugh Hefner on this one, smoking Jacket, Pipe, the works.

Peas Please Me

I once asked a Skinmaker ( Chip Midnight ) about this , about 12 or 13 years ago. His honest response was, making Black skins was twice as much work as making white skins because of the variety of shading involved in making Black skin. Most Skinmakers back in the day just took their white skins and threw buckets of brown paint over them, and yeah they looked fu%$ing hideous. Also for those that tried to do it right, they sold about 10-15% of their Caucasian skins. Twice as much work for 90% less money. Luckily there are are quite a few good black and Asian Skinmkakers on the grid these days. Also culture has shifted somewhat, agonisingly slowly, true... but moving in noticeable increments. All humans are basically Africans, some of us are Melanin challenged admittedly, but when we look at an African face we recognise our ancestors. Black is Beautiful... I mean, this is SL... you want to look beautiful, right? If you can not find an awesome Afro skin in Sl these days, you are just being lazy.

If you want to get a sense of the scale of the Blake Sea... I would recommend starting in the central Blake Sea, somewhere like Honah Lee. Then pick a direction N E W or South. The Blake is impressively vast.

2008-2022 My Nose definitely improved

All words to live by... if your first post to me is " Hi", I am gonna assume this convo will go nowhere, because they usually do. If you your first post was like, " Oh hey I see you like sailing... what is wrong with you? , I went sailing once and nearly drowned lol" I foresee a 30 min conversation, minimum. "Hi, How are you?" just aint gonna cut it in SL .. you need to be WAY more interesting than that !

You look the same but Mo" Better

What is more beautiful than a mature female? Correct... Nothing.

This one is my personal Fave from my 2021 snaps. It is called Snake in the Grass.

I am something of a cockroach it seems, and quite content with that title. Surviving difficult times is still preferable to the alternative. I mentioned LeeHere Absent here on the forum a few days ago .. she is indeed sorely missed. But I am heartily glad to still count you among the living in these... coughs ... challenging times.

Oh Hi Storm... Long time no rez

I really REALLY miss Leehere Absent. We remained good platonic friends despite our favourite subject matter mostly being about Human Sexuality... which could , yanno, border on the titillating at times lol. She has not logged in for many many years, and yet I could never delete her from my friends list. I would love to know that she is alive and well in some corner of the globe. A unique thinker and communicator... she is sorely missed.

Wow that phrase brought a bunch of memories flooding back

I work in the performing arts... currently on a cruise ship somewhere.

Yep known you since my first days in Sl, oh... and thanks...first time in like 15 years I actually like my Avi.

Lolz Lil... such a tease

It is from Sessions... I also layered it up quite a bit with Izzie's stuff. I wanted a mature look that wasn't an 80 year old Grandpa.

Not totally .. no... but it is definitely convenient to assume that expression at times.

Sl is just a fantasy world... you don't need to be honest or speak true here. Raises an eyebrow and assumes a world-weary expression.

I did 3 playthroughs, and despite it's faults I applaud the ambition of it. Very engaging content
