Ruth Attack!

Isn’t it frustrating to shop at popular stores sometimes? When everything is taking oh so long to rezz. And those who always try out demos to avoid buying the wrong stuff might have to endure the Ruth experience as some stores have so many things in it and God knows how long will it take to rezz completely.

My buddy Ortisha Jinn was shopping for new skin and she was trying out the demos until we decided to leave because we couldn’t stand the duration (6 minutes) for a skin to rezz! 

I looked around and I saw many items in the store still haven’t rezzed properly too, I figured it could be my connection problem but she is experiencing it too! And it’s really hilarious as she looks really ridiculous in the Ruth form (she’s on the right).

It took about 6 minutes when Ortisha is struggling to have the skin rezzes on her. And the lady next to her has begun to look human despite still being desaturated so after being stuck as a Ruth for some time, we both left and we moved on to the other store.

The thing about skins and shapes is this, you can’t click and buy immediately because there are times your skin just doesn’t go with the shape of your face. So it is advicable that you test the demo before deciding to buy a skin. Also, sometimes pictures can be deceiving, the models usually look so good on the picture and when you put the skin on you just wonder what went wrong here?!

As for shapes… I am using my own shape and I don’t suggest shapes from some stores because they usually mark up the price to earn lindens from people who are too lazy to adjust their features. Don’t tell me about the amount of time needed to create shapes that will make you look like a supermodel when SL provides you everything when it comes to editing shapes.

Skins however, should be pricey because designers usually take time to make sure the skin tone is even and looks real. I’m not saying you can’t make money through selling shapes but sometimes it’s too much if you sell it too expensively.
