For a start, as Douglas Adams so aptly put it..’DON’T PANIC!’  There is *plenty* of time to get yourself to the sale and get exactly what you need.  Oh yes there is, stop being so dramatic! The problem is the sim is DELUGED by people at the moment, tempers are flaring, items aren’t rezzing and there’s bits of grey goo everywhere.  The solution is simple.

BE PATIENT! 

You will get your turn like everyone else, but to make uber sure that you do, remember to remove bling, prims, huds and anything that will add to the lagfest that is already taking place. I removed all my jewellery, shoes and HUDS before I went in..it helped a bit.  There will be lots or people being bossy and snotty and self-important-ignore them,  you have as much right as anyone else to be there! The only people you need pay any mind to are the staff and they are clearly indicated.  Little tip, go in there, get the demos for all the styles you like ( and also get the ones that  you aren’t sure about as they are all free) and LEAVE.  Go home, try the styles on in comfort ( if you need someplace to go and try them on IM me and you can come to my studio) decide what you like and then, and only then, go back to buy your choices.  (Of course this doesn’t accomodate colour choices but go for packs that include a spectrum of shades if you aren’t sure, such as a naturals pack. You can always go back again should you need to.)

It’s much less stressful this way, I promise you. I have a collection of 22 samples that I am now going to try on without any of the stress:) Oh, and if you think ETD is bad, wait until the sale starts at ‘Last Call’…..
