[Anyone know the creator of Truth?]

Truth has some of the best customer service in all of Second Life IMO.  I'm certain it's just some sort of technical error in miscommunication.  Is it something that he has listed in his profile? A failed delivery?  I believe he has a redelivery terminal set up at his store, or if he has the answer to your question listed somewhere obvious he may not feel the need to respond.  Hopefully your issue is solved soon! I've always had fantastic responses when I need TRUTH customer service help! <3 

[What are they thinking?]

It's more than likely just a way for them to ensure that noone will steal, copybot, or try and alter their product.  With the increase in copybotting (or so it seems) lately, I can't say I blame them much!  It would be nice if there was a way though to make it so the product you are demoing is much easier to see and still ensure that the designer will not be stolen from.  I definitely can understand your frustrations.  I'm sure it's also really frustrating for designers who spend countless hours on an item, only to have people somehow use the demo instead of the actual product, or have it stolen from them!  

[What about your avatar's personna?]

My avatar is very much like my real life self, just maybe a bit edgier.  She's often times been labeled at the "Girl Next Door" type.  

[Male Skin]

My all time favorite skins for both men and women are Belleza Skins by Tricky Boucher.  You really can't go wrong with those! Best of luck!  

[Sopor Aeternum]

Hey everybody! :)  So I was browsing Destination Guide and I'm not sure if you saw or not but Sopor Aeternum is a place that's in Photogenic Places in the Destination Guide.  I loved it so much I did a blog about it.  You can find it here:

I explained a bit what the sim has to offer.  It's really a neat place to explore and take photos of!  I had a lot of fun there. :)
