I created this avatar a few months ago with the specific purpose of looking like me in real life! I have been in SL for 12 years on my first avatar, and it has the works - fancy mesh everything, a myriad of hairstyles, skins, clothing, etc. I loved being anything and everything I dreamt of! I still use that avatar for dressing up, roleplaying, and experimenting with being something and someone else when the mood strikes (and they have all my stuff!). This one is a way for me to be be in the metaverse, and I use them for exploring, building, and re-living the SL experience. I enjoy having the option! 🐱
