At this point I'd even taker another bus stop or loo..

Oh, and we need the Categories selection included on sale pages  (like Featured Artists or other themed sales) as well

I didn't clue into those being my DAZ+ choices. Uck. I just skimmed over them as crap I would never buy or get if free. I hate to say how many DAZ+ items I have left in the store during the past year because I have no use for or I hate the concept that demeans women or men. I am hesitant to add characters to my Runtime, I don't want another G8 issue again.

I can use shaders, plants, food, rooms (even all but empty ones), real clothing for real people.

I like the food idea, especially if groceries are included. There's a lot that's out there, but an annoying amount of it is vanity branded with the PA's name. And I still say it would be great to have more garden type plants, both herbs and vegetables. My hopes got up with the carrots a while back, but alas, it didn't become a trend. Decorative flowers are great and all, but diversity would be nice.

...as to clothing, indeed, "real clothing for real people". I don't think it is just me as recently it seems that the styles for female characters are becoming more and more "sexy" with lots of bare skin, deep cleavages, and even "liberal" showing of the breasts.  Makes me wonder sometimes if 'm on the other site that begins with "R" but ends with an "A" instead of "Y",

Then there is ancient and medieval fantasy clothing that includes high (and even spike¹) heels which didn't exist until the mid18th century.

¹ Spike/stilletto heels first made their appearance in the 1940s/50s

A little earlier than that, actually.  I've seen a number of different dates bandied around, but what is know for sure is that John Willie, the artist/creator of The Perils of Gwendolyne was also a noted fetish photogrpher and shoe designer, and began creating those iconic ultra-high heel designs in the mid-1930s after encountering several existing examples at an Autraliian shoe store called McNaughts in 1935.  However, the market at that point of time was quite limited and mostly custom order, with widespread introduction into fashion not occuring occur until much later, after WW2.

The inventor of the stiletto heel was Salvatore Ferragamo. Actual date is not documented but is likely to be late 1920's after he returned to Italy from the US. It was brought about due to materials shortages at the time. A practical solution rather than a fashion item.

For anyone who hasn't noticed, there's crazy low prices on MightyMite's kit bashing stuff right now. Not my usual sort of thing but I need a comedic mask for a scene and came across it all.

But already in the 15th century the Chopine came up - literally - which shows that the concept of shoes making their wearer looking bigger is a quite an old one. Of course nobody would have used shoes like that on the battlefield - so the usual fantasy style outfit habitat - or when not able to pay for them - so when not being a member of the "upper class" - with the japanese version of plateau shoes (the geta) maybe being an exception.

So high shoes have been around for a very, very long time. Shoes with only high heels not so long. Maybe with the exception of footwear used when riding with stirrups.
