Hello friends! I'd like to write an open letter to malls in OpenSim, if I may. I love giving 5-star reviews to your places, I can't often do it because I keep seeing issues that make me twitch. So if you'll indulge me, there are one or two things that are easy to fix and may improve your region.

First, if you have built a wonderfully spacious mall for us to enjoy, please allow us to fly through it, or at least offer many teleports. But fly is such a nice thing. Having to duck-run through great expanses of space is not really how I want to spend my summer vacation.

But speaking of size, I'd personally be much happier to visit a boutique of unique items than a massive mall of the same thing. I don't have anything against big malls, but they take a good deal of time to meander through, and it'd be great if I came away with some neat new things or a lovely experience of an especially gorgeous and unique location.

Also, please make sure the neat new things you offer are actually available. I wander through a store for an hour, finally find something I like, and that one thing is not copyable or buyable. At that point, I mutter rude things (i.e. "Why??") and teleport someplace pretty where I can fly and find serenity again.

And, as a personal preference, if you can provide clothing that is modest. Just a couple pieces. I know, there is something wrong with me that I want to hide my pixelated persona, what a weirdo I am. I'm not looking for head-to-toe with veils. Just, you know, something professional, or something I can wear to Grandma's, or church. Normal jeans. Shirts that go all the way down. My butt covered. I have a wardrobe full of ubiquitous microdresses that I wear as shirts with leggings. Honestly, I bet we can do better.

That said, I love OpenSim and I love wandering through your regions and appreciate your creativity and generosity. I look forward to throwing all the stars at you!
