The latest plus-sized shape from NWN sponsoring partner Ample Avi is something of an anomaly in Second Life. Ample Avi has plenty of curvaceous shapes of course, and quite a few petite ones on top of that, but Mini Me (released earlier this month) still manages to be an exception. Why? Her height comes in at around 5'5". That's only an inch shorter than the height of the average woman in reality, but in Second Life--where even more "realistic" avatar shapes share a few digits with pro basketball players--it's an oddity that could even get you booted from certain roleplay sims. No worries, though. Mini Me comes bundled with a 5'8" version for just such occasions, giving you a good compromise between RL and SL size standards.
On a broader note, I think the strongest endorsement I can give Ample Avi shapes is that over the course of working with them for sponsored posts here on NWN they've slowly made their way into my regular avatar rotation. Even though I've never worn plus-sized shapes in SL before, these days I'm almost never out of one (even when I'm recording videos).
You can snag both the 5'5" and 5'8" versions of Mini Me together on the Second Life Marketplace, or swing by Ample Avi in-world [Teleport link]. I'd also like to give al shout out to Roslin Petion, whose lingerie brand Luxuria has become my go-to for showing off Ample Avi's shapes. Check 'em out here.
