Staralien Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 When I first came to SL Aug 2011, I was a victim of bling.I found all the freebie stores right away and loaded up on clothes and tons of shoes. Just about every pair had bling. Not one person ever said anything to me and I am sure I annoyed at least some. As time went on, I started noticing most girls didn't have flashing shoes (or jewels) and I eventually found better shoes and clothing. I like the sexy stuff, but it has to have class. Most things I wear is classy, elegant, conservative, etc. I am not ashamed of what I wear, if my family sees it, or anything I do in SL. I think it is a matter of taste and everyone has different taste. Sl can be anything you want it to be and if you don't like what you are seeing or where you are going, find other locations and keep looking until you find the style and look you can be happy with. There are so many good designers in SL of clothing, skins, and shoes that I know you will eventually find the look that is perfect for you...and don't worry about what others are wearing...it is their SL too after all. :matte-motes-big-grin-wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncommonTruth Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Did not know what you meant by jersey shore look before, but according to that, I probably fall right smack into your categorization. I do not, however, find myself tacky D: I also feel the need to defend pouty faces and my pimp's well placed eye blackening smack-arounds :smileytongue: Ohkaayyy, I know posting a couple of pics isn't really a defense, but I like my ava. You may not. My ava might be tacking up SL for you and if that's the case then you have my most insincere apologies :matte-motes-kiss: On a separate note, what he heck is wrong with that guy's hair???

I found my first nice fair-toned skin by seeing an avatar in my rp area whose skin was EXACTLY the shade for which I'd been looking. It was a Gala Phoenix (now Curio) skin. The annoying thing was that then people started telling me I was "too pale." GAH!!!! "Too pale" for *their* tastes (and coming from the "can-only-see-the-whites-of-their-eyes" due to ultra-tanned skin avatars). I even had someone drop a darker skin on me because they apparently thought I was wearing a newbie skin. When I told that person I purchased the skin I was wearing (and how much it cost) I could tell they he was stunned...lol. Gala's were some of the best looking skins back then..a friend of mine had one of hers.. she never bought another skin ever!! lol so i couldn't go shopping there out of respect for it beign her favorite skin ever.. but i was really in love with my Celestial skin.. so it really wasn't hard to stay away either hehehehe i wonder if Curio is back now.. i haven't really checked to see if that whole thing that was going on last year ever got settled.. Wow, you two brought back some memories. I was a big Gala wearer back in 2008 and Nominee was my choice for white skins. Ah the old days....

One thing great about SL is that diversity reigns supreme. A suggestion if I may, when your friends ask, show them a picture of your AV. And yet 9 of 10 avatars (exaggeration folks) are that same tall blond super tanned cleavage monster with 'my pimp done smacked me good' black eyes and a frown, or the male 'beach boy tan' with governator muscles, t-rex arms, and tall enough to make Yao Ming feel like a dwarf. Diversity is possible in SL. But possible is not the same as actual. OMG! My ribs are hurting :matte-motes-big-grin-wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Charli is attacking us because he/she says any one who dresses sexy and happens to be tan and large breasted is tacky. Maybe Charli should worry about what he/she looks like and less time jugding others. It's not reality so have fun. Stop harping on people.

Charli Infinity Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 jersey shore people befor the show? I think they would still be called tacky that's why they were picked. cheap dresses, overdone tan, and those t shirts ang gelled up hair...yeah tacky from any angle. People that says others judge easily often don't realise they are also judging others easily themselves. If you love it you why would you even care what other people think.

Penny Patton Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I haven't followed this thread, but in response to the original post, I have to agree, at least in terms of presentation. There's a lot of variety in SL. If you wander the grid you'll see the classy, the creative, the tacky, the gaudy, to the outright obscene. However, if you're someone new to SL, or someone on the outside looking in, it seems like SL is extremly tacky and gaudy when it comes to appearances. Until recently, this was true of pretty much all of SL's own marketing materials, as well as marketplace listing imagery. When you present a user created world as looking tacky, you're going to skew the community towards one which favours that and push away a lot of potential content creators who would create less tacky content. Another thing to consider is that the vast majority of content creators are amateurs. Sadly, SL's content creation tools neighter offer the capabilities of more advanced tools but also do not provide the ease of use you'd expect from tools aimed at casual designers. This discourages a more polished look SL should be capable of by making content creation more difficult than it needs to be for the average user and also pushing away potential content creators with more advanced skills. All of which leads to a rougher, less polished look to nearly all content in SL, which adds to the feeling that SL looks tacky. Again, that's not to say there aren't very talented people making amazing looking content in SL. There's plenty of avatars and places in SL that don't look tacky at all., but they're not the face of SL. They're not what you see when casually browsing the marketplace, or looking at SL screenshots on the SL website or the internet in general. You also don't often see that side of SL when wandering through the areas new users are most likely to wind up first, such as tutorial and infohub areas.
