Make It Yours

Doesn't that outfit look so lovely in the picture or on the model? Look, it's complete, with shoes, stockings and a hat!

It's so easy to look beautiful in SL. You can have the shape you want, the curves you want, the hair, the makeup, the skin. Unfortunately, when everyone looks like a Cosmo model, then everyone looks the same. In fashion "same" is boring.

So, spend some time on yourself. (You know you want to.) Decide on your personal look. Feel free to experiment. After all, in what other universe is fashion so cheap? Learn the sliders so you can make those fine adjustments. Mix and match your outfits. Accessorize. Your goal is that if someone saw a picture of your avatar they would instantly recognize it. Try it. It's harder than it looks. If you want help, we offer courses. You're worth it.

After one of our shows, someone came up to me and asked me where I got my skin. She wanted to upgrade her boyfriend. I told her where to go (Second Skin) and what to buy. A week or so later I saw her with her boyfriend. They loved the new skin, but she said to me, "He doesn't look like you." I could only reply, "Isn't that a good thing? You wouldn't want to confuse us would you?"

Second Life is a wonderful place to express the real you. Don't go with the defaults.
