TKAELA

I was at IMVU before I came to SL. It has advantages as well as disadvantages like all sites do. I find that while its much easier to build your circle of friends on IMVU, I still find SL to be the most exhilirating. As far as SL "dying"...to me its one of those analogies that I have to see it to believe it. In addition to that, as with all virtual worlds, it does not matter where you go because the dependency is on you creating your own happiness and gaining the best out of it while it does last. :matte-motes-smitten: Tamara Artis wrote: So.. seems SL is dying and I am seeing people giving advices to move to another online world. I would be happy if some of you had any suggestions or experiences to share:) Thank you in advance!

My SL av and RL is similar in a lot of ways. Her features are very similar to mine in RL. For me...I find that my av is a representation and also a reflection of who I am in RL... Down from my taste in certain things to her appearance. The only difference I would say is...I am able to explore and meet more people from diverse cultures than I do in RL which is also a Big Plus in my opinion :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2:

@ UC ~ Tyvm Sweets! :matte-motes-smitten: I am thrilled for my first time trying it out. Aww! Have you tried other colors in her color chart? The red you are looking for may be under another category... Like OrangeBrown...Kinda weird I know..but give it a try if you havent already. @ Neal ~ Tyvm! Its always good to get a male's opinion as well. :matte-motes-wink: I can relate to the skeptism, because I felt the exact same way. I still havent tried the mesh apparel...but eventually I will. @ Cato ~ Good for you! Love the freckles...hehe...Nice! @ Kelli ~ Ty for sharing! Wow! Only 100L for Copy/Mod...plus accessories! Its hard to visualize the surrounding mainland by the pic you took. Awesome! ** Lovely Pics Ladies! You make me want to join the eyewear/book club! Ill catch up on the next go round :matte-motes-smitten: *** Oops! Sorry Neal! I didnt have my glasses on (lol) ...Nice Pic! I love relaxing on a pile of pillows! ...and Yes I do the same in RL too :matte-motes-wink-tongue:

@ Caitlyn ~ Love the B/W Photo! I like how the shadow overcast the both of you. Great Pic! @ Neal ~ Ok, you are taking me back to those special moments of fun with my Barbies - No boys or Monster Trucks Allowed (lol)! @ Saraya ~ Nice Eyewear! Love your new look! @ Kelli ~ That is a very interesting lighthouse. Ive seen many, but not like yours. Are you completely surrounded by water? Nice Pic Btw! *This is my very first time trying Mesh hair from Dela. Ive been reluctant in trying Mesh Hair since it first came out, but after wearing this lovely style... I decided to definately buy more. However, I do miss the way the hair flows (like blowing in the wind)...one of my fav perks. :matte-motes-nerdy:

Hey There Saraya! Thank you so much...Will do. I overlooked the name of it in your previous post -Oops- but I will check it out. :matte-motes-wink: Congrats on the new change! Im glad you decided to stay. Afterall, SL is what you make of it! I really do like both shapes on the beautiful skin you chose. The first one would be a complete change for you and she screams fashionista to me. The second one has a more softer look...she is similar to your current look. :matte-motes-smile: TK~

Last shot feels too much so . Love my new home, all custom textures I found or UT gave me lol, as my new home gets a little better each day. The sound changes as I go from the ocean kissing the beach to the back where the waterfalls fall by the Hot Tub in the wrap around porch. One with Neal taking a nap upstairs to the sound of the water. Love all the beuaty of SL. Ty Neal for the reply :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: Your home is very nicely done...It appears soooo serene. I can definately relate to your take on the beauty of SL...I feel the exact same way. :matte-motes-wink:

Im sure this beautifully architectural designed Manor & Theater has been shared before, but Im posting this gorgeous sim for newcomers and whomever would like to visit!

Amethyst is right on target. I met quite a few people in similar situations as she stated and I have also befriended people who lead active lifestyles and use social sites for networking, finding true love, or simply entertainment. Its really based on the individual and their expectations. For example; Some may come with the intentions of keeping it strictly fantasy and end up meeting someone that can change it to reality for them. It is possible for the fantasy realm to overflow (emotions) into real life. *I find that it is important to always communciate effectively as to what your expectations are concerning fantasy vs real... especially when getting involved with a partner.

Last One for now...I Promise - hehe :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: Photo: "No other Place I'd Rather Be..."
