Jesus tells the parable of the lost sheep to show that the Kingdom of God is accessible to all, even those who were sinners or strayed from God’s path. He uses the example of a shepherd (God) who has 100 sheep and one goes missing. The shepherd leaves the 99 others and searches high and low for the lost sheep.
“In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”

As most have heard by now, Maitreya released their latest body model last week. (If you already owned the Maitreya Lara body, you got the new model, Lara X, at no charge. Which I thought was pretty cool.)
Like many others, I groaned when I heard a few months ago that the previous clothing made for the Maitreya body would *not* fit the Lara X. I am sure I even uttered some swear words. Heh. 🙂 There’s no way I’m going to turn my back on my vast, beautiful, carefully selected wardrobe that is all lovingly (and somewhat obsessively) organized in my inventory. I have too much time, energy and Lindens invested — plus, it would be like throwing away countless art projects without getting to finish them!
And yet, this new Lara X is such a smooth and juicy peach! Oh my goodness. The delightful curves and the new alpha cuts are truly a sight to behold.
Hmm. What to do, what to do.
Well, I’ve decided to keep mainly using Lara 5.3 for now, but I will no longer be buying clothing for that version. The Black Friday sales were my last big spree for her. Any new garments will be for the X body model.
To commemorate this moment in my avatar’s life, I put together this hybrid outfit. She is wearing the new body and the clothing is rigged for the old body. It only fits because most of the X body is alpha-ed out. This is actually one of my favorite winter-time outfits, so I am glad I was able to make it work like this.
Thanks for reading, dear friends — and best wishes to everyone who is starting out on their new Lara X body adventure!
