Reply to Bloomingdem

I was going to post on avatar-making in terms of identity, self-awareness, body image, beauty ideals, interracial perceptions and to what extent we may reproduce RL attitudes and ways in SL, but then I found about Blooming Demonia's disruption.

Bloomingdem, sweetie, a newborn and already a rebel! Couldn't they come in baby format for us to get used to them and learn little by little? Gee, this is the blog for MUVEnation and you aren't registered...why don't you post at your Flickr account, lovely? No worries, I won't read it, so complain as much as you want...It doesn't surprise me really, SL crashes so many times I keep bumping you against the walls but, hey, haven't you got new clothes and shoes?! Didn't you meet a handsome male avatar yesterday? True he defined himself as a "prostitute" and "man whore", but nobody's perfect. Didn't you hear English, Spanish, Italian, French & German? Ta, you don't speak, so it's gotta be me who does it for you so what if you tell me about you...Then you had that lovely encounter with the rude chap who called you "moron", which made us use your first gesture, and then practise a few others to the dismay of others who didn't get why you clapped, became sad and smiled within seconds...of course you belong to that "newbie" species, lol. I know you don't like it but give me a break, please. l8r SL. Shopping/clubbing? Ready for edu islands?

Will we have a happy ending? I guess only if we manage to become complementary rather than mutually disruptive, very demanding if to cater for her immediate needs to negotiate an agenda to achieve my goals. Maybe hilarious and frivolous in RL but appearances in SL through avatar customization (skin, shape, outfit & gestures) seem to have a specific social weight. So off to sort out Bloomingdem's nails and skin!
