Now I will be the first to admit I did not get on the "Mesh is the Future" bandwagon. A year ago when it was all folks were talking about I was a pessimist. When it started trickling in I fought it left and right. When i saw what it did to hair, I relaxed my guard a little. Then.. I had a skirt break on me the first time. And I was ready to delete all the cursed non primitives from my inventory.. And then the Great Lord Linden looked down once again from his skybox on high and launched me through the grid to land at the doors of ColdLogic and restored my faith in the future of SL. I'm not saying mesh is perfect but this designer does some great things with it. It's not your standard templates retextured, they have some serious original stuff with realistic movement, good sizing as well as a wide range in color palettes. From casual to formal ColdLogic really has this mesh clothing thing nailed. But of course.. I do not, and my shape doesn't always want to conform to the "standard sizing", so this Fiber optic Fashionista is tweaking this that and the other to try and find just the right equation to make any mesh fit my shape, rather annoying when your partner wants to go dancing sometime in the next week. I swear sometimes he just doesn't understand the time I have to put in to looking this good, but then he buys me new shoes and I forgive him :).
But I digress. Lyra Blackthorn of Body Doubles has once again come to our rescue in the pixel crisis of "Am I a medium or a small, if I'm a small why do my boobs poke out of the alpha, but the medium looks like I'm swimming in a barrel of material"... Le gasp. She has made standard shapes to ease this horrible burden.. Now I know what your saying "But Virtual fashion godmother the standard sizes are out there..somewhere..I think" Pish I say to you, Lyra has done the math for us! No more tweaking and shaping or worrying whether the alpha will cover our naughty bits. Not only that but this crafter of fine shapes includes not just her standard NC with some really awesome styling, but an additional one telling you which parts of the shape you can tweak to make it feel more you, and which parts if you touch them, will totally bork up the whole lot. Lyra once again we doff our prim caps to you (or mesh as the case may be). Bravo Madame, bravo.
