Review:  This place was a high traffic place and seemed to have some kind of event or more likely camping going on in the sky. It was also a very flashy though very classy and impressive and sparkly build. The campers, the build, or possibly both were probably causing a lot of lag on my first visit. If you are willing to stick it out however you will find a nice little assortment of male and female products including clothes (some hanging on cute little hangers) and shapes and skins.

I was there looking at the skins, which were my topic this week. There were signs on each section but I ended up having to wander around a bit to find the things I was looking for. The skins were of good quality for less than 1K for an individual skin and I thought they were nice.  On a second visit however I noticed something I had not on the first.  There is a tiny halo on the lower eyelashes that seems like a flaw in the texture, a little white line around the rim of the lash.  It was a miniscule flaw but if you're picky, its one that would matter.  Try the free demos.  Other than the lash they are great and if you are not picky you may not even notice.  There were some cute and unusual make up choices and a little bit of racial variety. Although I found male shapes I did not find any male skins.

Initially I had written a review criticizing this store for lag but the owner requested I check again and assured me there was no lag.  She suggested it may be my connection or SL.  I agreed to give it another shot, although I had visited several locations that evening and had nowhere near the problems I did there.  But for the sake of fairness I visited again.  Actually I visited twice.  Both on the same little laptop with the same connection. The first, or rather second, visit there was almost no lag in the store and I was all set to change my tune.  There were 19 people in the region when I visited that time.  But as I detail above I had discovered a tiny flaw in the skin on this visit--I was trying on skins again to duplicate my first experience.  So I visited a third time to try several other skins and see if it was a flaw in more than one skin.  On this visit there were 28 people in the region up in the little camping hangout.  Once again I experienced lag.  Not on the level of my first visit but enough to make things difficult.   

Conclusion:  Best time to shop--when there are 20 or less people in the region.
