Sometimes it really freaks me out how like real life ‘Second Life’ can actually be.  

I’ll give you an example; when you bump into someone you know in a totally unexpected place like the centre of Edinburgh while you’re on holiday. A similar thing happened to me last night in world..  I decided to venture into the Sine Wave sim and check out their dances, following on from my discovery of Jellybean’s blog and subsequently her movies on ‘You Tube’. Exactly at the same time  I rezzed  in my good friends Dirk and Boo appeared, which felt *really* weird.  In so vast a world as SL what were the chances of me and them appearing in the same place at the same time? Cue music from the twilight zone….! Anyhoo, I’m just reading through the ever wonderful ‘Second Style’ magazine and I am genuinely relieved to read that one of their fashion predictions for 2008 is the death of the babydoll dress.  Thank the Gods for that, I utterly detest them! In fact I feel like building a bonfire, stripping off and running around it naked in a gleeful state of abandon whilst  the sum total of all SL  babydoll dresses burn to cinders atop it.  I kid you not, I dislike them that much!
Sorry if I cause offence but they are absolutely horrid.  A fashion trend that should never have been allowed into the metaverse. In fact in my book of SL fashion hates  they’re in the same chapter as skirts that stick out from the waist at a  90 degree angle. That’s a moan for another time..
I was starting to think that I was the only person who hated babydoll’s so it’s somewhat reassuring to see that I am not alone in my dislike of them.  Admittedly I have seen some very nice ones in world on at least two occasions  but there’s nothing that makes me want to scream more than seeing a very tall, super thin leggy blonde avatar strutting along on her 6″ heels in a *PINK*  babydoll dress. It just looks completely wrong, out of proportion and however you label it soo not a good look!  Then there is the voluminosity of some of them! How can I put this delicately? Some of them look like parachutes cut off in their prime!
 At this point I must confess that I own a couple , but I got them when I was a noob.  In other words they were very early purchases when I didn’t know any better, and were bought so long ago that they’re lost forever in my inventory.  I won’t be looking for them in a hurry!
* Please* if you must wear the ruddy things wear them as tops  with jeans or trousers, that makes them look much better!
