For me, the BBay membership ($15) has been the absolute best, most incredible value. New props or gown or creature EVERY week... and sometimes Traveler has gone way beyond generosity with the weekly offerings. As separate purchases? The Costume Shop CD and Creature Pack from DAZ are basic must-haves. The Dragon, Eagle, and Leopard are very, very nice, especially because of the morphs and textures available in freestuff. The Fairy was needed for her bun hairstyle, but she is a lovely character. I have purchased various items from Anton (18th century suit and gown) and from PhilC (Arabian Dancer and Lady Knight w/horse) and Traveler (Garb Pack) and Symphony (textures) and everybody has been helpful with support and answers where requested. Cal at FunkyBob is wonderfully helpful, too, and I bought his first CD (great value) even though I found most of what I wanted from his site. The quality has been top-notch. (I've made other purchases, but haven't worked with them yet, so shouldn't comment.) I don't have enough money to buy everything I want, and so shop carefully. Future purchases will include hair, since there are some lovely styles with lots of morphs, and Cal's 2nd CD. Carolly
