Merry Christmas, Natty!

 I hope you are having a marvelous day.  I love you!

Oh, I forgot Mary's shoes today!  That's the trouble with gowns, I can't see the feet because of the long skirt.  But I did see some nice boots over at Vogue!  I think they would look great with any gown...

Don't worry folks, I put some shoes on her before today's show.  Here they are, just to show you:

Cute, huh?  Those are Linda pumps by PurePoison.  Oh, I forgot who the gown is from.  I guess I should remember these things, but alas I am not being motivated by payment.  It is a beautiful gown, though.

That chest piece is what you would call a "primitive", meaning that you would build it the same way as you would build a house in Second Life.  I suppose you could also import it from a 3D draw program.  The sheer parts of the skirt are called "flexi panels".  I think you build them like primitives, but they bend according to motion and gravity. Flexi doesn't behave like real cloth, though.  Realistic cloth physics do exist in games, for example the Street Fighter game below, but not yet in Second Life.  Not because it's not possible, but because people are too lazy to program it.  I guess like me, they need to be motivated with payment.
