Quote - It's not the existence of slutwear that I find odd, or even its popularity. It's the fact that it is soooo dominant. I mean, you would think that the back catalogs would have enough mini skirts, micro bikinis, and skin tight half shirts that no one would want to buy more. But it seems that, despite the enormous supply, the demand for more is endless. :D :D

You have a point there that's rather hard to explain. It seems that there are a lot of content collectors, and/or people who make a lot of impulse purchases (i.e. see something they like, they buy it while on sale because they might use it someday). So, whatever style they like, maybe they tend to buy every incarnation of it that looks great in the promos because they might use it some day.

In the occasional threads on various forums about spending too much on content, it's not uncommon for several people to respond about spending thousands a year on content. Many others post about montly content budgets of $100 or more.That alone makes me think many people may be puchasing similar content .... repeatedly, because they might use it (maybe they do use it all - it takes me way to long to set up a scene to even come close to using that much content). Therefor I think there might be a lot of content "collectors" that buy a lot of it.

Of course, if your doing a scene with multiple figures, having multiple versions of similar clothing would make sense. Even though it seems to me like I have way to many similar "fantasy" costumes, when I make multiple figure scenes, I quickly realize just how limited my collection is. Often items that in my mind seem very similar, when placed together in a scene, they really don't look quite right together in the same scene. Soooo, maybe getting numerous similar items of skimp wear really does make sense? A V4 character in impracticle armor can look rather silliy next to one in full armor 😕
