If I Upload My Consciousness Into My Avatar, Will I Have Enough Fashion Options to Last Me Forever?

Sansar blogger Ryan Schultz recently spotted these artist's sketches of Sansar avatar outfits that Linden Lab has been developing, and notes that not all of them are in the software just yet:

A few of these male and female outfits should look very familiar to Sansar users! They are, in fact, outfits which are already available under the avatar customization tab. Note the third avatar in the first row. Jenn, the community manager for Sansar, wears that very same outfit when she hosts the in-world casual and product meetups. So that got me to thinking. If some of these avatar outfit options are already available, where are the rest? Are they already created? Is Linden Lab waiting to release them, either as free avatar clothing options or as items for sale in the Sansar Store? Why are they waiting?

Maybe Linden Lab's waiting to release them in future updates, or is not going to release them at all, since many Sansar users are already uploading and selling their own avatar outfits into the store. In any case, I had to grin about where Ryan spotted these Linden Lab avatar drawings:

A NatGeo special on transhumanism and the metaverse! Because yes, it's nice to think about becoming immortal in an online world, but if your avatar looks like crap, that's pretty much purgatory.

Hi Wagner! Thanks for mentioning my blogpost! :-)

One small correction to what you wrote: while many Sansar creators are already selling avatar *attachments* in the Store (like hats, bracelets, earrings, etc.), you cannot yet sell *outfits* (actual clothing).

Bjorn Laurin/Linden had originally said that avatar clothing (complete with cloth physics) would not be available until March 2018, but at an in-world Sansar meetup today, he said that an avatar fashion market would be coming before the end of this year.

So no way to upload your own mesh body to sell? .. FAIL!!!!
