Check out The Avastar this week, as the lead story suggests that furries are in decline. I really hope not. The grid would be such a boring place without the colour and originality that furries bring to our virtual world, and the fact that that Luskwood, a beautiful place if you’ve never been, gets griefed on a daily basis saddens me no end. I have a fair few friends who indulge in furriness and it makes not a jot of difference to our personal relationships, so why the big deal? It’s amazing isn’t how just like in RL there are those who believe that certain groups and movements should be suppressed and driven into extinction or driven underground. It’s utterly pathetic. I’m confident that we’re not witnessing furry genocide though..remember these guys have teeth and claws and DO fight back. Offer your support, I swear if you visit Luskwood you’ll have an amazing time. Engage a local in conversation, say ‘Hi’, in fact even better offer them a hug and just show them that you care. Second Life would be a poorer place without them.

Tesla makes Kitty go all Lalafoofoo!
I know I’ve blogged to infinity and beyond about Tesla, but quite frankly if she keeps producing such stupendous content then I’m going to keep blogging about it! She’s updated her FREE, yes FREE, ‘Elise Mary Jane Heels’ and they look *lovely*. They’re an essential in any SL girls wardrobe and were fantastic before, but now they are super-shiny and defined. You have to respect any in-world designer who creates items and gives them away for free, but when a designer revisits their freebie and refreshes it? Well, that’s some designer….Anyway, I was busily trying to think of an ensemble that would show these beauties in their best light. To be frank, you could probably just wear these and that would be enough, *but* not all of us want to air our pixels in public, so a fitting ensemble was definitely on the cards. Cue Lalafoofoo, where you’ll find separates that mix and match to perfection and are not only beautifully rendered but exceptionally reasonably priced to boot. The Henley top that I’m wearing is backless and detail on both the leggings and the top are more than adequate. The store is located within Celestial Studios, and when you read the associated blog you’ll discover that the designer is actually Starley’s sister! Good design skills must be genetic:) The ensemble is finished off with some colour change earrings from Lulu and a gorgeous hair rose from Essence.
A pretty, neat look:)
Update on last post…
Just read the quote out to Jez, who halfway through my reading started to make snoring sounds. If ever there is grounds for SLdivorce, I may have just found them, LOL:) Note to self…cut plug off his newly built mega PC system and throw in canal….
I *love* this quote…
My friend Whoosh sent me the following quote earlier and I think it’s outstanding. I don’t know where he found it, perhaps on a forum somewhere, so I apologise profusely for not being able to credit the writer ( if you know who wrote it *please* let me know so that I can update) It sums up perfectly, for me anyway, what SL is all about. I also intend to print it out and sellotape it to Jez’s forehead if he comes out with the ‘But it’s only a game line’ EVER again, as I’m beyond fed up with it…
Innovation is not only about making money, it is also about advancing society, improving the human condition. If SL positively contributes to the way in which we communicate, the way in which we relate one to another, then it is innovation. If we have a chance to meet one another without the external cues to which we have been conditioned to judge another acceptable or unacceptable, then it is innovation. If individuals who are differently abled are afforded a social outlet in which their whole mind can be valued, then it is innovation. If people displaced by geography find communities in which they are beloved members rather than spurned outcasts, it is innovation.
