Peter and I have been meaning to go shoe shopping for ages. It was supposed to be a Christmas present, but then my ISP started giving me problems and I could not get inworld...
During that time he was a great help -- well, many friends tried to help in various ways, but it was Peter whom I trusted to control my computer remotely as he helped me to check the router and other network configuration settings. It's a bit strange to see your mouse cursor moving over your screen all by itself, but he would type into the Gtalk window and appraise me of what he was doing every step of the way. "You can close the connection at any time," he assured me.
Unfortunately even after tweaking settings and stuff, my ISP still locks me out of SL; Tiyuk found a Malaysian webhosting company that uses a different ISP, and got an account with them, routing my connection through them so that I can access SL. It worked, so that's what I'm doing now. This costs $200 per month (in my currency)... *sigh*. But is better than nothing.
So after that I could get into SL again, and shoe shopping with Peter went back on the agenda, but then our schedules either didn't match or either of us was busy with other things and other people... *grins*
Finally today we got our act together, and first went to see these shoes; very well-made, and I think strappy shoes are so sexy... only I was a bit disappointed that the heel colour doesn't match the rest of the shoe.
But I also wanted to check out these shoes, so we went over, and I fell in love with the demo. You can change the colours of the individual parts of the shoe, so it's highly customisable, and there are 11 colours to choose from. Win!
As a result, I have new shoes:
*dances* Thank you, Peter! *hugs*
It was a pleasure to be finally able to do this. Merry christmas!
oooh I like them!
and! welcome back into SL!
Gorgeous shoes!
