Quote - I'm Old.
I'm fat.
i'm married.
I'm not a prude.
Why is it that everytime I find a flightsuit, Nobel Prize Winner or Aluminum Can Recycler outfit I think I can use it's always got Buttless chaps, nipple clamps or a zipper open down to the curlies?
i'm too old to look like a horndog. At 53... that feces is just creepy and I don't want to be creepy on purpose. It's hard to find clothing for women Characters that doesn't look like it was made by a 14 year old dufus virgin with too much access to Internet Porn.
do you want a straight answer from a vendor?
because it doesnt sell. 90% of people using Poser are doing pinups. the remaining 10% talk a lot about what they want but when a vendor actually comes along and caters to them, 3/4 of them suddenly have excuses as to why they cant buy right now. so that leaves what, 2.5% of the potential market?
(...although it may make sense for a fledgling vendor to make their name by being one of three people catering to a niche as opposed to competing against thousands of other people making mainstream products.)
as for the whole sexy/idealized pinup theme. who cares? if thats what makes people happy then more power to them. listening to people harp on pinup renders for ~11 years now is getting pretty old.
if you want certain non-mainstream stuff actually made - and made well - then you need to make an effort not to just rant about it in the forums, but to support those merchants that do make it. because if someone needs to pay the bills and they realize that they can make ten times as much money on a set of skank clear platform heels than they can on a pair of ultra-realistic rockport nursing shoes, why would they make the latter? i would highly suggest a specific thread such as:
'looking for practical nurse uniform for VickyX, to fit blahblah morphs with blahblah features. i am willing to pay blahblah. here are a couple of examples of what im looking for (post clear photos)'.
if the thread generates enough interest i guarantee a merchant (or more) will come along and run with it. but if they make it and 3/4 of the people who asked for it dont even buy it, much less the other 90% of the marketplace, i can also guarantee they will never make anything like it ever again.
