A recurring theme in Second Life: Vanity
Beth Macbain replied to Gopi Passiflora's topic in General Discussion Forum
I have, actually. Someone once asked me if I made my mouth look like that on purpose. I thought my mouth looked fine. I laughed and moved on. -

Vanity is most definitely not a new thing in SL... -
When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?

I don't think the left has anything to do with this monstrosity. -
Belli impacts: Private Estates and Mainland
Beth Macbain replied to Nika Talaj's topic in Linden Homes
I can only speak for myself, but as an oldbie I like Bellisseria because it isn't a ghost town. After I moved in, I let my other rentals go because I enjoyed Bellisseria so much, and I still do several months later. I did rent a tiny little parcel a couple of weeks ago to put a quiet skybox in just for those times when Bellisseria is too busy for me, but I don't see myself getting another large empty plot in a vast wasteland of other large empty plots and siphon the money I pay LL through a land baron. I quite like paying it directly to the Lindens and I think they are learning some really fabulous lessons from the success of Bellisseria. With @Ebbe Linden's dedication to diversifying revenue streams and hopefully making LL less dependent on the land barons, I'm looking forward to seeing more variety in the Linden Home environment. Larger parcels with higher Li, but with the same quality landscaping, attention to detail, and homes, and all owned directly by LL. Diverse themes to appeal to a wider variety of people and creatures. An adult continent. Two adult continents, actually. One for people who want more adult themes, but not necessarily sexual (where child avatars could still be allowed) and one for people who do want a sexually open environment (where child avatars are absolutely forbidden, please). I have a big wish list of things I'd love see see LL implement and profit off of rather than land barons who don't really do much for the greater community of SL other than buy and sell land. I know SL was born on the concept of user-created content, and I love the amazingly talented people who make the things I buy, but LL has some wonderfully talented employees and contractors as well and I'm pretty cool with buying directly from them when possible. It might make creators up their own games a bit, and some of them who've gotten lazy because everyone buys whatever they release need that kick in the pants. Before Bellisseria, I never once considered the thought of having more than one premium account. Now, with the trailers and upcoming new themes, I know I'll be upgrading at least one alt, and possibly more. It would be awesome, though, to not have to use alts. Give me a premium level that would allow me to rent multiple LHs once they're all built out and I'd be happy as a clam and utterly delighted to have my landlords be Lindens instead of someone I don't know or trust. I also think it would help with new user retention and increasing premium memberships, and I would make certain to feature them in the new user experience that we all know needs some serious work. I also think Bellisseria residents are also absolutely loving having more interaction with Moles and Lindens. Even though the interaction has quieted down a bit with the angst strewn upon them for not building cookie-cutter homes, they are still around and it's fabulous. Hopefully once the fussy people get homes (or get homes they're satisfied with) @Patch Linden and the gang will start coming out to play again and that sort of fun with the much loved Lindens and Moles can't be offered by anyone other than LL. TL:DR version - If LL starts pulling in more money from individuals, and some land barons start losing money and bail... shrugs. -
I think @Alyona Sumeant that there was a very important comma missing.

I'm far more interested in the regions being named after soap operas! Did Bo and Hope live there? Holden and Lily? Was it DooL RP or ATWT RP?? Soaps in the 80s were THE BEST.

Stumbled upon this poor fellow under the sea while wandering around today. So close to the treasure, yet so far... RIP in peace.

I've pet many a rooster in my day, and nary a single complaint from any. My techniques could teach Google a thing or twelve.

Yep, still one of my very most favorite people! I love you! ❤️

It is a job one does with one’s hand like, um... petting a rooster.

I’m still waiting for you to sneak a script into my houseboat that plays “God Save the Queen” when I step onboard! -

Oh. That's a really good question, actually. I originally meant you, but considering how territorial I am when it comes to MFM (My Favorite Mole, you dirty-minded people!), perhaps it should be directed at everyone else?! -

I do believe they can, yes. At least, I think the Lindens can... not certain about the Moles. -
