Dora Gustafson Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 That one is a skinny fashion model You can't become a skinny fashion model if you look happy:smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara Artis Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 :smileyvery-happy: As someone said, she's a skinny model, they are hungry and sad lol I've seen them too, and don't like them... Those lips come packed with eyes too far apart, short legs and hips that look like they gave birth to an elephant. I think its a new type of avatars that are clearly stating Don't mess with me cause I'll beat you and your drama with my bada** attitude lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belladona Viper Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I really dislike this new AV trending.Very separeted angry shaped eyes,angry eyebrows,small child/anorexic-like body,huge head with weird shape,ridiculously HUGE lips with weird distribution of upper lips and sad,like you said.And like said before me,the hips! It looks disgusting,IMO,like a creepy doll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Jaxxon Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I've noticed it most on skins from creators that aren't the mains...thank goodness mine doesn't follow the trend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Trefusis Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Amen. This happens a lot on the sl fashion blogs. I hate the trend. They might have really good clothes on them..but because of the avatar looking like a giant human catfish its offputting. Of course its SL..anyone can be what they want and look how they want. But really,..who would want to look like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zantyago Mannonen Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 MY EYES! IT BURNS! seriously what the hell is going on with models? What is wrong with people with balanced features? Too Mainstream to be photgraphed? FFS that woman is ugly, I would not ask her to go out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetSeal Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Quite sad indeed. It was unique until almost every girl started doing this. But i guess all we can do is just be happy and do our own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzan Littlething Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ugly and sad. Not my cup of tea and I have no idea why some people think it looks good. But ... it's a matter of taste and SL is free. Thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Absolutely hate the look and don't understand why it is so prevalent in fashion shots now. It really puts me off the clothes I see modeled by these freaks. I don't think I've ever actually seen an avatar walking around SL like this though or heard anyone say they actually like it. Maybe its just the circles I run in or the places I go don't attract them,but I more inclined to think its just fashionistas gone wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It doesn't make me sad it makes me nauseous, the squinty mad eyes, poor me pouty face and big a$$. Makes me want to slap her and kick her in the butt. :matte-motes-evil: But to each his/her own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Babii Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Im not a fan of the pout gone mad either...but..each to their own. However.. designers might like to take note (or not,whatever) If youre trying to sell something..especially skins or makeup...using a model with the fish pouty thing going on..isnt going to appeal to those who dont have the fish pouty thing really. How can we make an informed choice when its shown on the "different" style of face...perhaps you only want the fish-pouty types to buy it? Ive been to so many events , fairs etc..and see this type of model used (especially the ones with added "Im riding an invisible pony" sized legs/hips) and I walk away..the photo gives me absolutly no idea of what it would look like in a non fish pouty-im-riding-an-invisible pony sort of person.

This links a little to the thread about using the wrong model. The 'knock-kneed fish-lipped invisible-pony-rider' model tends to make me leave a store fast after an initial scan. I don't relate to them, and so don't want to emulate anything about their appearance. Plus they often seem to be wearing quite forgettable clothes. But yes; to each their own. I suspect these avatars mostly exist in blogs and on vendors. I never meet them when out and about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syo Emerald Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I hope they stay in the fashionblogs. Those weird creatures doesn't even deserve to be called human. They are monsters, creepy ugly monsters. Hope thats not going to be the new status of what is a good avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Babii Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 agreed, Ive never met anyone who looks that way either..which is kinda bizarro as this fishpouty wide legged..type of person is allllllll over the blogs and advertising of fashion !

Bliss Zufreur Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 yeah...when i see that avatar type on a blog, i scroll through fast...and when i see it on a vendor, i don't buy...it's not a look i want to copy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Hickman Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I know 5 or 6 people who look like this or worse, and despite being pretty nice people I have to fight the urge to tell them they look like angry little emo trolls, and are most definitely NOT cute.. which is what I tend to think they were going for along with a heavy goth/emo style. It's actually kind of disturbing to me, but they do have the right to look any way they choose in SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suki Hirano Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Exaggeratingly happy = idiot/noob Exaggeratingly unhappy = cold/trendy It's all opinion. That picture you took is of a friend of mine. Some people, specifically people in the west (US, Canada, Europe, etc), might think that look is "skinny", I think that's normal because I'm Asian. We have a very different outlook in fashion than westerners. I think most models featured in ads are way too tan and chubby, with huge breasts and butt, and you might think we're too pale. Anyway why do you care about this sad lip trend? I don't like it that much either as it's a very shallow taste but I don't care either as I don't use it myself. At least it looks better than those noobs with huge smiles and huge eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
