Pointy Head - or - As The Mohawk Turns

Pointy Head – or – As The Mohawk Turns

One of these days, I will learn how to make actual hair.  Until that happens, here’s a fantabulously epic Mohawk.  This bad boy is called “Unihawk”, and fearures a color HUD with seven colors, including white for those who like to do a bit of tinting. You see those little balls?  It’s okay if you don’t want them to glow.  You can simply right click, edit, then hit edit linked parts, and select…

Men and women draw up the "perfect body"

Men and women draw up the “perfect body”

A “perfect body” poll made the internet rounds in April last year: A lingerie company asked 500 men and 500 women to vote on their ideal celebrity body parts. Designers photoshopped the images to create four images of the “perfect body” based on results.

A few thoughts before I begin:

Have you experimented with your gender in Second Life?

Have you experimented with your gender in Second Life?

Why do/did you do it? What were your reactions to the experience? How did you react to members of the opposite gender? How about those of the same gender as you? Have you come to any new insights as a…

There’s a mesh body race going on in Second Life, and we’re interested in knowing how that race is progressing. In the absence of verifiable sales figures, bloggers and designers are conducting polls to measure mesh body adoption and mesh body preferences.

These polls are revealing in their own right, and taken together, they reveal three trends: (1) mesh body adoption is increasing and showing…

5 misconceptions around mesh heads in Second Life

5 misconceptions around mesh heads in Second Life

As more and more mesh headsare released into the Second Life marketplace, I am noticing that their mere mention is sometimes enough to incite detractors to criticise people who use them. The criticism often sounds like “mesh heads all look alike”, and the falsely dichotomous “mesh heads make you less unique”, followed often by the fearful warning that we’ll all soon look like “clones” and that…

What if our avatars aged (and died!) in Second Life?

What if our avatars aged in Second Life?

“Unconventional Beauty” by Kimberly Winnington

How morbid… we don’t like to talk about it, but (spoiler alert) we’re all gonna die, and on the journey, we’re going to look older than today, with ever step we take towards our inevitable end. The fact that ageing and death isn’t optional, doesn’t make many of us fear it any less.

Hands down, ageing beats the alternative, which is ceasing to exist!…
