Changing appearance

Geisha makeup
Avatar changing her face aspect in real life.
Where is reality, where is fantasy?
It's a secondary question.

The world is governed more by appearances than realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.
Daniel Webster, US diplomat, lawyer, orator, & politician (1782 - 1852)

Some statistics

After having played the class clown, here is some sober work, my first comparative statement!

Second Life with goggles

Ok, ok, it deserves some improvement, I reckon, but I would like to see you.

We can draw some conclusions now

French are mostly interested in knowing what Second Life is

English and Americans are not so different, they are separated by only 4M answers, maybe the same difference between Blair and Bush, what we call the B2B (it works with Brown too, but it won't with Clinton)

Argentina and Cuba have exactly the same result, the Che effect...?

Spain in Spanish gives the same first link as England and US, by the way it is the same for Argentina and Cuba with also the same number of answers

Spain in Catalan, Galego and Euskara gives secondlifespain.com as first link, is that the beginning of unification...

Chinese are mainly interested in joining Second Life, but safely, perhaps the Tiananmen effect here?

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Benjamin Disraeli, British politician (1804 - 1881)

Little Pony in Second Life

In my previous post I promised you more sex, here you have real hard porn!

My little pony

Have children leave the room or shut their eyes and hears, because this movie is above anything naughty and dirty you will ever watch, even in Second Life.

Yes we are always in Second Life, our world, our imagination, images are images, they are not real life, and all that is not real life is second life.

Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.
Herbert Henry Asquith, British politician (1852 - 1928)

(Almost) sex in Second Life

These avatars are not very original, though they are funny.

Japaniaiseries (French wordplay that could be translated by Japanese silliness, but with less comical effect...)

Want to watch more sex...?

Sex Tips with Justine, so hot!!

Next time it will be even hotter, I promise you.

I'm too shy to express my sexual needs except over the phone to people I don't know.
Garry Shandling, US comedian & television actor (1949 - )

Avatars in real life...?

So far I never noticed that we were already surrounded with avatars.

They usually appear on podiums, but when I think about it during a couple of minutes, I realize that we can see some hanging around in various places.

If you have the opportunity to take photos of RL avatars, please send them to me.


Anyway have a look at Second Life Supermodels to have an idea.

PHYSIOGNOMY, n. The art of determining the character of another by the resemblances and differences between his face and our own, which is the standard of excellence.

"There is no art," says Shakespeare, foolish man,
"To read the mind's construction in the face."
The physiognomists his portrait scan,
And say: "How little wisdom here we trace!
He knew his face disclosed his mind and heart,
So, in his own defence, denied our art."
Lavatar Shunk
Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, US author & satirist (1842 - 1914)
