No one has seen or heard from Misty Lara Carrara for - What? A few years, I think. Misty was a sweetheart! Obviously, Carrara was her passion. Recently, it seems both https://www.renderosity.com/users/ArtistKimberly and Lou Harper (an interesting and well-regarded contributor on Daz forum) both passed. I did not know the former at all, but I frequently read posts from and sometimes exchanged posts with the latter. It's no fun. It's just how it goes. Glad you're still here, Penguinisto.
