I have no life, and it's OKAAAAAAAY!
They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away HAHA!

From: ZsuZsanna Raven I really need to get into the shape selling business, $100 for a simple adjustment of the hand sliders sure sounds like a goldmine. Me too though I can't imagine paying for a shape. Anyone will a little practice and time can make a great shape. I am a living example.

I could show you some pretty scary "before" shapes.  However there are people who buy shapes who could probably do it on their own with patience. And a handful of people who do it themselves who would be better off buying/hiring help. Including some of those who call themselves "Shapes Designers"  |

I'm with those who can't imagine why anyone would buy shapes. I didn't do mine all in one sitting. Just a tweak here and a tweak there. Considering how easy it is I think shapes are the most grossly overpriced items in SL. Look at me. I did mine all myself and I'm damn near perfection.

I should have made a blog of all the "Before shapes" and people I see all the time. LOL you all aren't looking close enough. After a few years looking critically I can tell you there are a LOT of people who cant do their own. If you want to see what I mean look at the men in SL .. they are worse than the women. Unless you think the huge head, short arms, giant shoulders, stilt legs, dancer's waist, pump you up arms, and dudly doo right chin looks good ... |

When I was new I spent like 4 hours on newbie island making my shape since there was nothing else to do there. It only took a few more months of work to get it just right.

I'm closing this for the reasons Raymond gave.
