Looks can be deceiving

Here is Isa.  She looks normal, not evil at all, quite nice, actually.  Beneath the surface, though, there is a different story.  Isa is evil to the core.  Who sees a cute little bird's nest and thinks omelet?  Who does that?  Really, Isa?  Really?

Isa's Digits

Strawberry Singh asked, "Have you changed your shape to fit into mesh?"    It has definitely changed mine:

1. How has the introduction of mesh affected your SL, if at all? Are you open to wearing mesh often or do you still shy away from it?
   
   I very much prefer mesh now, particularly because of the improved texturing - no more fuzziness or blurriness!  
2. Have you changed your shape to fit into mesh? If so, did you go bigger or smaller?
   
   
   

   I created a few custom shapes to fit into certain brands.  If you compare my shape now to the last time I posted my digits, my avatar has become a bit thinner.
   
   
   
   
   I prefer the standard sizing, and I am a medium, which I find a bit odd since I think my avatar looks quite skinny.  My original shape was somewhere between a medium and a large, but the large was way too big, so my shape has become a bit thinner with the introduction of mesh, particularly in the waist.  The most important thing to me is to feel like I have a strong, healthy figure.  I feel like I'm able to achieve that look with a fairly standard medium size.  I did stay with smaller boobs, though.  The standard size boobs look huge to me.
3. Do you think the mesh deformer will resolve a lot of the issues people seem to have with mesh and will it encourage you to wear mesh more often, if you don’t already?
   
   For me, personally, the deformer probably won't make much difference.  Currently, I buy mesh and adjust my shape to fit it (within reason).  The deformer would save me a bit of time and would allow me to wear some brands that just do not fit my shape at all (like I'd have to go to 0 body fat in order to wear them, and that's just too thin for me).  My shape is a fairly standard shape, but I do understand how important shape is to one's sense of avatar identity, and there are some things about my shape that I am unwilling to change because of that (else I wouldn't be "Isa").   So, for those who fall outside the standard sizing, I think the deformer is a very important step.

Woke on The Citadel

I woke up alone on a space station.  I think I was in stasis, or jail.  I have no memory of what happened or how I ended up on the Citadel space station.  I kept hunting for clues, or for anyone who could help me.

Then, I noticed it.  My fingers were stained with blood.  My eye was bloody and swollen shut.  Did I do this to myself?

Am I responsible for what happened at the station?

In any case, I'm prepared for what may come.

The Citadel is a new sci fi roleplay space station.  Check out the website for more information and the backstory.  It was fun exploring.

Another Fundraiser

The Another Fundraiser just opened today with one of the best, most creative projects in SL.  Designers were challenged to create a skin or makeup using Mina Jun's (or another open source) skin.  The results are beautiful, and what's even more amazing is that you can purchase a skin/makeup/tattoo for only 50L each.  It's the best deal in SL and all for a great cause - to help the Red Cross relief in Japan

Anyway, I just picked out my three favorite:

Shades of Gray

I wanted to do a blog post from Selenium Pulse as soon as I saw it highlighted on Avatars in Motion.  I have to admit I was a little sad when Chic Aeon beat me to it, but not enough to deter me. The sim is just gorgeous, it's great for pictures, and it's definitely worth a visit.

Few things in life are black and white.  Sometimes, things are easier when they are.  Yes or no, good or bad, positive or negative, right or wrong.  The problem is that often the correct answer is, "it depends."

Should you follow your heart or your head?  Well, I say always, always go with your head. Follow logic.  Use your reasoning skills, and remember, often, you will be forced to make a decision with less than full information.  You can fill in the blanks with life experience, intuition, and research.

Moon Dance

Why worry so much about being normal when you can be anything and do anything you want in SL? Every once in awhile, you should try to move beyond the jeans and t-shirts and soccer mom hair, and be u-neek!

Dance on the moon a mile in the air, 

while wearing polystyrene hair.

Twirl in the icy sky

Watch the birds flutter by

Care not what others think

Toast the poison, let them drink

I suck at poetry!
