Ayashe Ninetails Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 40 minutes ago, Rowan Amore said: No... Yes... I'd like to point out that I, Clumsy Dork Extraordinaire, managed to successfully bust my whole butt years ago wearing something rather similar to your "Yes" pair. I decided to take a shortcut through the grass at my workplace and my ankle did the little wobble dance that is so common when strutting around in platform wedge sandals - flung my whole body onto my car. Yes. ONTO. SPLAT. Right onto the hood. Like a bug on the interstate - I stood no chance. Hmpf. I would've survived the embarrassment if not for my coworker standing right next me as I went flying. I have no horror stories surrounding your No pair, but I've seen so many people rocking shoes/boots with platforms and heels like that around the NYC and London goth scene and surviving the ordeal. I'll take my chances with #1. I personally prefer a high, elevated platform in boot form (without the heels) as they're very steady, though they do take a lot of practice to walk in - especially on stairs. Funny enough, in SL, I always choose the platform shoes/boots, no matter how high the heel, as well. I'm traumatized by sandal wedges - even here. 😩 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to "drunk walks". Not sure about animations, but I did make a "runway fails" pose set back when I was making/selling photography poses. It's basically just a set of poses where a runway model goes splat all over the catwalk, due to high heel failure. I laughed to myself every single time I got a sale - like omg, I wonder what this shenanigans is being used for - I wanna see! I should look and see if there are any wobble and falling walks for my AO. Not come across any just yet. Been on the lookout, as I always buy the most ridiculous walks I can find. Something like that would be perfect for running around on the beach in heels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) We need a Stilettos In The Sand song, with Riders On The Storm music..

2Tessa Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I don't care about realism but about visual harmony (good taste) pretty cartoon > ugly human But in the end you avi is the result of your choices, that can also be impossible to understand without a contextualization. No need of external validation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelindaN Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Depends on sand quality. Compacted wet sand is no different to a wet field of grass. Its about balance & weight distribution. OK, if I'm gonna be walking around a wet field all day, I'm in sneakers/trainers. Here who cares? Heels on the beach? Usually yes. Because I can. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Pancake Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Realism - You can pry my crocs from my cold dead hands (and I will still beg the universe for the energy to wallop you with them). Who wants that in SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be realistic in that it looks exactly like an actual human, but not accurate in that it doesn't look like the person behind it. It's still realism to some degree, even describing it that way. Realism plays a role in accuracy, they go hand in hand here for this context. It's not realistic, or accurate, to make our avatars look like someone other than ourselves. That doesn't mean it's wrong, it's a wonderful part of making an avatar here. I think most people are probably glad that we can have whatever level of realism, or accuracy, we want here. We can pick and choose what we want to include or exclude. I like that, a lot. That's why I mentioned flying. That's not realistic, or accurate, but almost all of us do it here. I don't like the idea that males or females are more inclined to do a certain something here, a lot because people attach other most likely tags to things like that too and its weird for me. Like people who assume the reason I don't use voice or share rl details means I must be a man playing a female. And now I know if you and your partner ever see me afk on a beach in heels, she'll assume I'm a male too, that's a odd assumption. People make weird assumptions in sl a lot though. Mostly I just let them and don't bother countering it, but that doesn't make it any less weird that they make them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took off the clothes, put on the heels, took the pics and put the heels back on for a bit while on the bike path 😜 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezbeharra Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Whatever you do, don't google image search high heels on the beach, many of you are going to be so upset. Edit for clarification: Personally I think it's a little goofy and never do it myself, but I think it's fair to say it's a type of whimsy that SL lets you engage in, and I suspect many of the people who do it, do so knowingly, not because they're clueless.

Wonders about house cats in dresses and combat boots walking on the beach? Are they the same as human avatars walking in high heels in the sand? Question not necessarily directed to BelindaN...this is me wondering where does one draw the line a la realism? If realism is not needed everywhere, then tiny house cats in dresses and combat boots should be allowed more places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to me, pooping is a little too much realism. I don't bother with it in SL. Birthing, in SL I've never seen. It's not something I would be interested in watching whether cat, human, or fillintheblank. Birthing is getting too much into role play, imo. Where would the perfect realism of role playing a real life end? Do we need to brush our avatar's teeth?... use birth control and condoms for some other examples? Once we get into realism, where does it end? I'd rather have fun in SL than deal with all the realism of real life.
