    i looked up images of a mullet hairstyle and it appears the modern version is much closer to what is in this new hair product. Most do not have the sideburn portion, but the length is the same. Hopefully this link  works

    lmao, no i will not accept it, I see what their are trying to do though. they're ignoring what actually defined the mullet into something else to fit it into this new zoomer broccoli head aesthetic. They really won't leave anything alone in the past. Not that the mullet is something to be proud of, but it was a thing and it should be respected for its Gen X weirdness. I will admit I had a mullet at one point and I burned all those pics, they don't exist anymore. But I can't just let it be redefined as brocolli head.

    Is that AI-generated? Some of those styles are clipper cut in the back!

    That's a nice hair, but I wouldn't really call that a mullet...

    It's a micro-mullet at the very best...business in the front and party in the back... but DAZ product names can often have little reflection on reality or conventional naming.  There are propeller lanes are called "jets", single floor apartments that are called "lofts", etc. 

    I thought this was business at the front, business casual at the back.

    I don't remember ever hearing that variation, but I looked it up and found that it usually refers to dressing up for a video call with professional appearance to the front while off-camera is whatever, which a mullet pulled back in a ponytail would fit.  The phrase BITF, PITB, on the other hand, is a common meme that first became closely associated with the mullet around 2001 after being used in the otherwise forgotten movie Joe Dirt.  (Personally, I remember first hearing the phrase in an episode of Kim Possible, which started in 2002.)  The association with the hairstyle is generally attributed to the Beastie Boys, who used the term in their song Mullet Head (1984), where it was described as "Number One In Front, Don't Touch The Back."   That said, the term mullet head goes back to at least the 1850s... something that's actually provable since it's used in Huckleberry Finn... with a "Mullet Head" originally referring to someone who was dull or stupid.

    I wasn't (conciously) aware that my phrase existed, it justs eemed a way to contrast this style with an echt- (or ur-) mullet.

    Hopefully, retexturing the blackboard is easy, because having a quote from Steve Jobs on it in a classroom with ink bottles and quill pens is an odd choice. 

    Quill pens, Steve Jobs quotes, plentiful electric lighting, a framed copy of "The Old Newspaper" which shows a motor car and an early film camera, a map of the world showing masted sailing ships but in a projection I think is probably the Miller Projection invented in 1942 (although it might be the Gall projection of 1855), Physical Education being referred to as "PE" (an abbreviation first recorded in 1956), large hourglasses but a (fairly) compact electric clock on the wall, and a massive modern looking red button next to the blackboard for some reason.

    And on the "not-necessarily anachronistic, but doesn't really make sense" front, a telescope that would be in the way any time the door was being used, multiple copies of the same anatomy poster, many diagrams of the same bizarre machine that's vaguely reminiscent of the 1960 Time Machine film, protractors *everywhere* but not one kid has carved their name into the desk, and doors that appear to open outwards (nearly every classroom door I've seen opens inwards, particularly if they have no window in them, because opening a door into a corridor is liable to smash someone in the face).

    Also, someone has written "CLASSROOM" on the blackboard in large block letters in case anyone forgets that's where they are.

    It is a weird set, and I think you have to be using some strange alternative timeline for it to really add up at all.

    I agree, another rather strange set by Polish. Nothing fits. One gets the feeling that they're basically 'vibe building' at this point, and by this I don't mean that they're using AI to build but that all they seem to be going for now is 'atmosphere'. Doesn't work for me at all.

    Feng is also putting out some pretty weird stuff now: https://www.daz3d.com/fn-rivercross-village. What is this place? Yeah yeah I know, it's a fantasy setting. But it looks just thrown together for me, and also strangely, dunno - comic style? Can you see what I mean? Like everything is overly chunky?

    yeah, looks like an early Poser set at best

    when so much is being sold, and PAs are turning out stuff constantly, I would expect the quality and thought behind it to go down a bit? maybe?

    This outfit and accompanying texture set was snapped up by me as soon as I saw it. I can imagine a lot of thought went into the whole ensemble and the multi-usefulness of the product. Kudos and thank you to all involved!

    I came here to say that. Many pieces of clothing, nicely done, and without some ridiculous stuff like high heels or sexywear.

    I can't count how many times I've asked that question when looking at product pages...

  • Matt_CastleMatt_Castle Posts: 3,280

    Oh, I have a particular hatred for products that cannot manage that. On the occasions I've helped vendors with testing or promos, I try to remember to ask "Have you remembered promos from the back?"
