The d...Ugh,silly me bought a skin at beauty avatar. The demo marks were on all the seam lines and on the lips. I couldn't tell by checking out the demo that the skin was really bad. Should have been a warning to me. But I loved it in the picture, so I bought it for a cool 1400. I was so irritated when I found seams everywhere. I had to im the owner and tell her about it. She fixed the seams in the neck, but that is it. I miss Minnu, her skins rock my world and at the same price, they are soooo much better. <BR/><BR/>Frick rocks my world too! Seriously, those mods are great!Should have bought all the skins there instead of one at BA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639577993851585768.post-66623841737236988332008-06-03T23:09:00.000-07:002008-06-03T23:09:00.000-07:00Girl I agree with you 100%.I was there yesterday h...Girl I agree with you 100%.<BR/><BR/>I was there yesterday hoping to find some interesting pieces to add to my fierce folder (the folder is named fierce) but I ended up getting a jacket that only made it to my 'alright' folder.<BR/><BR/>The prices ARE a bit too HUH?!

LOL I got the same look with the Minnu skins too, so I guess I'm just not cut out for that modelish couture look.<BR/><BR/>Cen - I actually don't know how he ended up like that! When I tped in, he was right in front of me. I was like, umm...ok...and went about my business. But I had to go back a second time that night to grab a skin demo, and he was still there...still bent over.<BR/><BR/>Sehra - OMG, that <3C sale ROCKED!!!! I grabbed EV-ER-EE-THANG. I did end up throwing away some that just didn't look all that hot on me, but I kept a lot more than I threw. LOL<BR/><BR/>Kellee - Oh, I know no designer can be perfect just because of the avatar differences, but there are some designers that really do it right, and they can command these kind of high prices. I'm not paying $500L for an outfit with bleeding seams and cut off shirt bottoms when I can spend $300L somewhere else and buy a really well done outfit.<BR/><BR/>It's the reason why I don't charge a hell of a lot for any of the items I make. I know that I'm not as good as others out there, and the day I DO create something that I think could compete with any of the big name designers, I will charge a bit more for it. But I'll still always be cheap, I think. LOL<BR/><BR/>I don't care if the hem is there for shirts that turn into dresses, but regular shirts need the hemming. If the shirt template is too short, maybe move to a jacket layer instead?Alicia Chenauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852205565340450253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639577993851585768.post-55584578887710223242008-06-03T16:01:00.000-07:002008-06-03T16:01:00.000-07:00I'm no World-Class-SL-Designer (at least, not yet)...I'm no World-Class-SL-Designer (at least, not yet) but I can weigh in about 2 things: first, the "no hem" thing. Yes, this is purely lazy in this case. No hem usually means they took the shirt down to the edge of the template. And yes, the template is kinda short for the shirt length, but losing a few pixels to a hem is very much worth it in my opinion. The only time I am not bothered by the lack of hem is when the shirt is trying to meet the bottom (pants) layer for a seamless look like in a dress. Then adding a hem for the time you might wear the shirt alone is silly since it would look fubared for the full outfit.<BR/><BR/>next, the "bleeding" seams...this may not be the fault specifically of the creator, but.... shoulder seams are tough as that's the part of the body that tends to get pushed and pulled a lot in different poses, but BUT i have found that sometimes it pulls and sometimes it doesn't (or at least doesn't as much) depending on where you draw. Just like bikini or panties bottoms are very very difficult to get right to minimize the pulling, it's a sign of someone with skill who can do it right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639577993851585768.post-71570928232854149212008-06-03T11:11:00.000-07:002008-06-03T11:11:00.000-07:00wah wah, sucky gifts are sad.but i just went on th...wah wah, sucky gifts are sad.<BR/><BR/>but i just went on the biggest rampage through <3 cupcakes sale....<BR/><BR/>now there's some good freebies :)Sehra Kauffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08343918197766561914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639577993851585768.post-11846060245018280322008-06-03T10:49:00.000-07:002008-06-03T10:49:00.000-07:00I know how you feel, it's considered poor taste to...I know how you feel, it's considered poor taste to say you don't like a gift. However you are totally right, I also consider the gifts to be like Demos. When I get a great gift that impresses me so much I wear it regularly, you KNOW I'm going back to that store when I'm in a money spending mood. If I get a gift that gets deleted, well, it gets deleted and I'm not likely to remember the store at all or if I do it will be remembered as the one with that crappy logo tshirt where the seams don't even match up.<BR/><BR/>It's great that designers give gifts, I don't know what I'd do without them. The generosity and skill amazes me some days. I guess it's just something to keep in mind that it still represents your store and brand and maybe no gift at all is better than something you consider doesn't reflect your work. Unless as you say, they call it 'starter kits', 'something I'm experimenting with', or 'old stuff from when I started designing', then the expectation is different. <BR/><BR/>On another note - how did that guy get his head up his butt like that? It's hilarious.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683140405177511244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639577993851585768.post-64330455859590084522008-06-03T07:02:00.000-07:002008-06-03T07:02:00.000-07:00I have to agree with you about the ears. scary ear...I have to agree with you about the ears. scary ears. .___.<BR/><BR/>I've honestly never been to Beauty Avatar. I saw the ad, heard the prices (from a friend) and just wasn't inclined to check it out. That, and I don't know why, but everyone I've seen wearing their skins always has a bitchy look on.Kharisma Llewellynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642074066128939353noreply@blogger.com
