I’m fairly new to SL (I guess I played it when I was 14 or something but ended up quitting after an hour because everything was too confusing/overwhelming for me back then lol) and I was looking for an updated mesh body review when I found your blog. While I still have loads to catch up on, thank you for the informative posts 😀
