Yes, I'm a flirt!

I broke all my rules last week. Well, not that they're really rules, but, y'know... I have this 'thing' about not buying jewellery and lingerie in SL. Why? Jewellery -- because I always forget to wear any. I told you I normally just slip on a dress and shoes and go out; the rare times I look for jewellery are when it's a special occasion and I'm dressing up, or my outfit is so skimpy I need something to fill up the empty spaces :P
 
As for lingerie, who's ever going to see me in it? I don't have an SL relationship and I'm sure as heck not going to lounge around the house in my underwear... what if some clueless noob were to walk in all of a sudden? Security orb? Nah, I don't even have my doors locked. Anyone's welcome to visit me anytime :)
 
But! I'd seen posters about the ~flirt~ new releases and drooled over them. Texture change... ooooh! So I hopped over to ~flirt~ and got the Hearts & Diamonds set. As usual, faced with the dilemma of choosing between the texture change metals or texture change semi-precious stones, I got the 2-in-1: a set that can change both and allow me to blend the two together! I figure I'll never need to buy another piece of jewellery in SL coz this will match absolutely anything I decide to wear, lol. See how versatile it is! And how pretty and elegant!

Oh, were you guys hoping for a lingerie shot? I'm still trying to keep this blog PG-13, or at least SFW (safe for work). But I'm open to *cough* bribery persuasion *cough*. With the right inducement, I could be persuaded to arrange a private viewing *suggestive wink*
 
I would've posted this much earlier, except SL decided to be a bitch. I couldn't get the texture change/resize scripts to work for me. Peter, Skinkie's right-hand man, came over to my house to help me figure it out. He gave me a new set, but that one behaved just the same way as the first. We tried everything we could think of. Rezzed the item on the ground, attached it to a different attachment point, relogged, used a different SL viewer -- nothing worked! I even gave Peter permission to use a remote connection and temporarily control my computer, so that he could see exactly what kind of problem I was facing. Maybe it was me, maybe if he were to try, things would be different. But... nope! No difference! I was sooooo sad.
 
When he told me that no other customers had faced any issues so far, I was totally convinced that SL doesn't like me. Especially because the set worked for him but not for me! I was so thankful that he tried so hard to help, though. He really went the extra mile to help me sort out the problem. Now, that's what I call customer service! ;)
 
A few days later, we found out that LL had made some server code changes which affected the performance of the script. Skinkie made changes to the script, sent me a new set of jewellery, I tried it on, and I was like "OMG OMG OMG IT WORKS!!!" *hugs Skinkie*  *hugs Peter*  *hugs everyone in the universe and jumps up & down for joy*

Gorgeous post, Quaintly!

I'm in loooove with ~flirt~ jewelry and am rarely caught without my Tiffany Ruby and Platinum ring.

And I couldn't agree with you more about how helpful Peter and Skinkie are...they give new meaning to the words "customer service."

I'm so glad you did half way from getting out of two bad misconceptions. jewelry is not to be work only if you have rendering problems. But you find ~flirt~ so that's sorted out.
Lingerie is not worn only for the others but for yourself too. Will do the rest of bribery in-world. :p

So you caught me. I was hoping for a lingerie photo. On the other hand, may be you're right, a private viewing would be even nicer than a photo.

On a related note, I'm glad everything's working now.

@Gabby - Yay! You love ~flirt~ stuff too! Isn't Skinkie's work amazing??

@Dande - Hehe if I wore lingerie for myself I wouldn't be able to leave the house, and that's rather pointless to be inworld then :P

@Tye - You need to hang out with me inworld more often! I haven't seen you since Pay's wedding! Where have you been???

/me wonders who Skinkie's left-hand-man is and whether he knows him :p

Thanks for that nice review!
