Every month here on NWN we feature a shape from sponsoring partner Ample Avi, a Second Life store specializing in realistically curvy and plus-sized avatar bodies. Sometimes the shape we feature is brand-spanking-new, and other times that shape is an Ample Avi classic. This month we're looking at something from the latter category, a shape descriptively called Barely Round.
Ample Avi designer Xme Xue tells me that Barely Round has become one of her most popular shapes since it was released just last year, and it's easy enough to see why. Barely round features all the curves you'd expect from an Ample Avi shape, but bundled in a slightly slimmer package than usual. It's kind of the best of both worlds, giving you a sleeker figure without trading your statement-making curves for a rail-thin silhouette. Barely Round is also a personal favorite of Xme's that has made its way into her regular wardrobe rotation -- and may very well make it into mine too.
You can pick up Barely Round for yourself on the SL Marketplace, or swing by Ample Avi's in-world store [Teleport link] for much more.
Hard to believe my eye on the price. Anyone has enough patient can make a nice shape. Anyone senior enough can make a shpae like that with a photo reference. Shape are the most valueable but worthiless to buy. I am sorry to say that. Anyway, it still have one to pay for...

I don't understand. You have to PAY for a SHAPE? A shape is just sliders, either inworld or in a 3D program like Blender. Are you saying people pay money for a single shape that they cannot modify?
Paying for a skin makes sense. Skins require an artistic touch. But to pay someone to move a few sliders around and then export the result? I don't understand this.
