Stick around :)

There are things in the MP here and at other stores that are interesting.

I don't bother looking at the most popular items or the front page ads or the front page of the MP here. Because like you said, everything that I see in those areas seem to me to be the same.  A gazillion hair or outfit textures for the most recently released  hair or outfit.  And all of the V4 characters looks nearly the same and the skin is so plastic looking. And most forget to do anything with the shape of the face and especially the eyes.

The following are more along the lines of what I am looking for these days because I'm sick of the perfect/flawless Barbie Dolls too.

Spend some time looking through the stores that aren't "the post popular" or "top sellers".  It takes some effort unfortunately, but it's worth it.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
