Some Designers are of the impression we will pay a high price for just about anything just because it's mesh. I say stop and think, 'is this costing me the price of something I can buy in real life,' a item that will allow me a chance to touch it and feel it on my real life self? I always ask myself, "can go to a real world store with this money your charging me for your 'I'm so proud of this' precious fatpack?' Remember these are pixels Baby!
At the same time is there nothing better in Second Life than to feel pretty if you are a SL Lady and handsome if you are a SL Male. This blogger wants to look pretty and loves a handsome man at her side, but I don't want to look like he picked me up on the corner of Avenue Do Me and Slut Boulevard.
I would like to be admired for my style, my grace, and for making someone smile when they spend time with me. More important I don't want my clothes to sign checks my body and mind are not ready to make good on. We all know some people in SL come to sell their "goodies" (the word I'm choose to use,) but not all of us want to sell the "goodies" at first sight.
I challenge the designers of SL to remember you came here to share your artistic talents. However, lately when I go to your personal shops or any of the many events in SL it makes me feel like designers are pimping my sex for me. Personally, I'd like to be a Lady of distinction first... not an unwrap gift on a street corner who paid a very high price to get someone to look at me as dessert before dinner.
Good to hear a new voice. Well done!
