    Are there actual fads in SL?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    Reading all this makes me feel like I'm on the bottom rung, or just out of college, and not getting wtf is going on.

    Does any of this make SL better? Like more fulfilling? I've dabbled with bling, and one pair of wings, but that's me done. None of the rest of it would add anything to my self indulgence.

    I hate gatchas.....and overpriced FPs.

    Just saying. :)

    I had no idea people had alts in the beginning. I was truly shocked by that. What poked me into going that way, was that I suffered a couple of bake fails close together, and had to relog with a system avi…..I wasn't even mesh then, maybe just a Lara body. The bake fail screwed up my face and made me very unhappy, twice.

    So I figured if I made an alt, I could use her as an emergency way in, and also to experiment with mesh and appliers...….so BelindaSalt, (Salty) was born, just for that purpose.

    But then I started to immerse into Salty, buy her clothes and before I knew it she was meshed up, and going out in world, making her own friends...…….

    Over time this got seriously addictive and this is how I ended up with three sisters, and this to me is a huge part of my SL...……. :)

    This is so me, from the evolutionary journey (planned or not) to having different avis affect the way you feel. This makes sense to me in that we all have various components to our personalities, and so one look just emphasizes a certain part of ourselves. It is complex because I am assuming that when you log in as Daisy (or whomever) you already are in that mood to be more Daisy, but I wonder if you are in a different mood than "Daisy" but want to feel more like "Daisy" does logging in as Daisy give you enough to change your mood?

    Yes.....^^^ This.....Daisy has a powerful effect on how I feel, because she is so assured and confident, and the minute she's in world, reactions to her are significantly different to the reactions I get as me. In fact I tease myself about it...….(weird or what!). If we go out together, she gets most of the attention, I'm like the ugly one...…...it's been quite illuminating. 

    I'm about to go in world now, not as me...…..but as Daisy...……………………..

    I'm on an evolutionary journey even though it wasn't planned. The RL me who started out will always be the SL me. I won't change my shape, head or skin now because I'm wholly immersed in my avi. However, I'm blonde, and when I take my Agent Smith persona, with short dark hair, this really does affect the way I feel.

    My third alt, Daisy, I created as a self assured confident brunette who could become WonderWoman at a stroke. When I'm Daisy,  I feel absolutely empowered, it's most peculiar, but her look affects the way I feel and behave. 

    My other two alts are a variation on this, and I wont go on about it, other than to say that Salty, my first alt and youngest sister is sweet and innocent, and being her does affect the way I feel and behave. 

    So creating a concept with a life, and an appearance certainly bounces back into how I feel in RL. Quantifying this is hard, but creating a relaxing feeling in RL is a noticeable effect. Its complex for sure.

    WHERE ARE MESH HEADS IN MARKET PLACE FFS

    Just drifting slightly, and I've mentioned this before. When I'm out, and time to kill, I surf MP on my phone. I still occasionally buy rubbish by the way.....

    But anyway, my quick surf method, which works for clothes, and hairs in particular, is to set the value high, the all I get is a few pages of fatpacks, so easy to look at. If anything catches my eye, I dig out the single colour purchase I want.

    Or sometimes I just go to the vendor tab, but the high value method can still work. Much quicker. But nothing beats walking round stores. I rarely cam.
