Shapes are not an art, but often they represent qualities we appreciate in the real world. All my shapes tend to have wide hips, because I have wide hips, or big eyes because I have big eyes. We automatically incorporate our favorite qualities of ourselves in Second Life, whether consciously or subconsciously. Seeing large lips, flat noses, bubble butts, chunky thighs, or meat on a shape does not bother me so much as...jazz hands. Everyone knows what jazz hands are, but in Second Life I have found that too often jazz hand pride has ruined a beautiful face. One may ask, what exactly are jazz hands in SL?
Mmm, big, meaty, manhands.

Women: Please, stop showing off your manhands. Turn down those hand sliders, and not all the way! We want a small amount of jazz hand pride, to show that you are capable of grasping objects still. A suggestion is to keep the hands under 30 at all costs but at least above 15 (with my favorite an even 20), but remember most importantly that the hand size has to go with your shape. Tall and slender can afford to have longer fingers and therefore bigger hands, but if you're the shorter type of woman, try reducing the hand size down a few notches. Never should a woman's hands be the focal point of a shape (unless you're showing off your bling ring, in which case you'll need to see Lesson in SL #126: No bling).
Men: Oh men. Your shape is handsome, yes, but have you taken a look at those hands? It's time to show that you are a man, so move the slider up! 30 should be a minimum with 50 as a maximum, and once again, make sure that your hand size fits your shape.

In the end, perfect hands show off jazz hand pride much better.
