Meg - Thanks for the congrats. I know what you mean! I kept wondering why my ceiling was so high at the office, and then I tried lowering it. We're all absurdly large, so everything from cars to houses gets scaled up too. Damen - Thanks for the link and the congrats. I didn't realize <a href="http://www.adam-n-eve.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Adam n Eve</a> was yours. I visited a bit ago when I was shopping and liked it. I'll drop by again.

As to the "real life" avatar and skin, swing by my website and check out the design projects section. Congratulations on your six months, keep it up, incisive and true.

I had my av set to my real height for awhile--it's even harder to stick to that when you're under six feet IRL! Her current height is whatever looked approximately average in SL at the time. I'm curious to check it, but of course the grid is down. Congrats on your milestone!

I'll look for Nethermind. Also, I think I'll join you in avatar height normalcy. 'Noble' is no more a power forward than I am. Hey Flipper – thanks for the recommendation and the congrats.

She did four for me for the band Trouble Everyday, and the resemblance was uncanny. I'm 6'2" in SL, and somehow, it works? :) I would highly recommend Nethermind Bliss for doing look-a-like avatars.
