Recently, I convinced a female friend of mine to try out Second Life. I sat beside her to guide her through the sign up and log in process. I knew that the old Ruth was replaced with a choice of mesh avatars, but I didn't realize how bad they looked or how difficult they were to work with. Her first words were "Eww, I'm so ugly and this dress is horrible". Ok, it's a freebie and Ruth was no Miss America. But Ruth was totally customizable. With some effort you could change the shape and face completely and then get a new skin, hair and some clothing. You could always find a bargain or sale and with minimal cost, you could look half way decent. These new mesh starter avatars do not have the shape changing options and you can not wear regular clothes and the mesh options in the library are not very good. No alpha layers so they are all ill fitting and don't get me started on the shoes. I always find that it's easiest when you first start a new avatar to buy a "Complete Avatar" set. One that's not expensive but still looks good enough not to get ribbed at clubs as a Noob. So we got on MP and found a very pretty complete avatar without hair for L$200.00 from Noya Designs. We found some nice hair and began the transformation. You can not put on the regular shape and skin over the starter mesh avatars and you can not take off the mesh avatar. Your only option is to Ruth! In Avatar Appearance, Test Character, Female. Only then were we allowed to wear the Noya shape and skin. This makes me worry about new comers to SL. I have been on SL for years, but if I had just started with no knowledge at all. I would be lost and turned off.

SL Tombstone AZ- A Role Playing Cowboys Dream
Occasionally, I like to step out of my business suit and do some active role play. I prefer combat sims and historical replica's. With SL's Tombstone AZ, I get both. Years back, when I first went to Tombstone, I felt like a kid in a candy store. The first thing I noticed was the strict dress code. You must dress in 1800's western wear. There was some free clothing options but I decided to go all out. With my boots, spurs and cowboy hat I entered Tombstone as a wild west wrangler. I got on my horse and rode around the 9 connected sims. The town of Pierce was crowded with nice folks willing to be helpful to a lone stranger. Then I heard someone challenge another to a duel. Oh boy! We all rode over to Two Guns and a gunfight ensued. I had a blast (pun intended). Now days Tombstone is still active. When I went back a few weeks ago, little has changed in the towns but it was not as crowded as it was years ago. I went to Two Guns for some good old fashioned gun slinging. There were a few cow pokes who cornered me in a shoot out. I hid behind some barrels and started firing back. Good times. Beware. There are rules and griefing is not tolerated but for some good ol western fun this is the place to go.

Second Life Porn
When I first started Second Life. I was curious as any hot blooded male and spent a good month going to the strip clubs, free sex island, escort services, etc. Fun times but my interest was in building and eventually owning and renting land. I appreciate the art and creation in SL. One day I met a stunningly beautiful woman named Jennnnna Jameson (changed to Emmanuel Jameson). She knew I had a crush on a friend of hers so she helped me shop and basically styled me for my date. She was intelligent and talented and just happened to be one of SL's biggest porn stars. She introduced to the art of Second Life porn movies. This is truly an art form and there are some very imaginative and well made movies acted and directed in SL.
I am not affiliated with nor am I in the SL pornography field. I am just an admirer of great talent.
BE AWARE! Only view porn movies on a trusted sites. If you type in Second Life Porn Movies in Google search, you will get tons of sites to view or download. Some of these such as XXXHampster.com have viruses that will affect your computer.
I recommend going to the "The Sexiest: Porn Stars Blog" for great links to hundreds of movies.
