I’ve been in SL a long time… I’m what I’ve seen being referred to as an “oldbie”… in that time, SL has meant a lot of different things to me, and I’ve felt the full range of emotions living my Second Life. And I’ll be the first to admit that SL can get lonely… either because friends have moved on, relationships have ended, or what seems to be most prevalent, schedules and real world lifestyles change and no long sync up. People get busy, and SL falls slowly by the wayside, sometimes all at once, sometimes it just starts slipping away. For me, when I’m feeling that sense of abandonment, I either throw myself into my “work” (it’s why I started blogging in the first place!) or minimize my own time inworld. And then MY schedule isn’t syncing up with my friends. It’s a vicious circle, quite a bit like RL, wouldn’t you say? Bottom line, SL certainly isn’t perfect, and neither are its denizens. You either adapt and learn to make it work for you, or you don’t. What I’ve found interesting is that lately I’ve been meeting quite a few people who STARTED SL back when I did, but then left years ago, and are now, for whatever reason, back and reinventing themselves (mesh changed everything lol) and their second lives. Me, I’ve never left, but I’ve certainly reinvented myself time and time again, and I’m feeling that urge again. Maybe it’s because my rez day is coming up, and like RL birthdays I get a bit introspective. But when I find myself looking at heads (as I’m doing now), I know that I’m feeling that need for a change… So as much as I love my look, don’t be surprised when I undergo a makeover… I’ll still look ME… I’ve changed myself more times than I can count in the almost 16 years I’ve been here… but I will (hopefully!) be new and improved…
- Outfit: Sascha’s Designs (SAS) – Famke Outfit, worn in Apricot. Includes two different tops — the Long Top worn in the main photo (which as a plunging back you can’t see, perfect for showing off a back tattoo!) plus the Wrap Top shown below — together with the pants & gold multi-necklace. A sophisticated sexy look whichever top or which of the 9 colors you choose. Do be forewarned though… when I say the pants are skintight, I mean like a 2nd skin with a few fabric wrinkles added… these pants leave NOTHING to the imagination… & they look absolutely amazing doing it! Sized for Legacy, Maitreya + Petite, Hourglass, & Freya, Famke is EXCLUSIVELY available at the February round of Designer Showcase, open just a few more days through Feb 25th. Demo available.
