Turns out the motto of OSG18B is "beach". I'm completely overdressed now. But I'll let my sister @Juno Rowland know so that she can dress accordingly.

Interesting stuff to see there.

On the one hand, Morning Glory shows a kind of beach house scene, very simple, built entirely from tinted prims with no textures, no transparency or anything. It's kind of reminiscent of screenshots from other virtual worlds. It's cute in a certain way, not to mention easy on your graphics hardware

On the other hand, @Prodyck Theas' display includes a working mirror, thanks to PBR. Of course, this requires dedicated graphics hardware.

@Jupiter Rowland And here we are at completely restyled Event Plaza, both in swimwear. I'm actually the avatar with the least on, only a two-piece layer bikini that's barely big enough to get away with on a G-rated sim. And I'm one out of only two barefoot avatars with flat feet, although I did bring a pair of flat sandals.

I actually went and got myself some more bikinis from one of my brother's stores. I still don't have my favourites back again, but I first want to turn what I have into outfits.

By the way: Hardly anyone else has dressed for the occasion and the location. Most female avatars wear the same 15cm spike heels as always. One avatar and one NPC dance partner even wear 15cm platforms with 30cm spike heels. I wonder how it's even possible to walk on sand in these, much less dance.

Juppar Heartfelt, the singer, did dress for the location, but maybe not so much for singing, I guess. Fedora, sunglasses, open button-down shirt, Bermuda-length beach shorts, flip-flops.

Only the drummer, Deanna Janus, shows more skin than I do, technically speaking. Still, since she's wearing a transparent dress over her tiny bikini, I'm still wearing less.
