Thought Process
My Thought Process...
1- One of my favorite colors - Green.
2- Elle buys special Nicky Ree lingerie with me in mind in my favorite color - Green.
3- Phin experiments with female avatar (aka femPhin or fP).
4- Phin buys clothes for fP.
5- Phin likes the special green-version Nicky Ree lingerie that Elle recently purchased.
6- Phin buys his own green-version Nicky Ree lingerie that Elle recently purchased.
7- Phin thinks it would be cute if we had the same lingerie.

My Mistake...
Elle didn't like my thought process.
Where I went wrong? See number 6 and 7.
Thinking it would be cute, I took the special out of her purchase for me.
Thus endeth the lesson.
[looks at Elle] Sorry, honey!

The Not-So Glamorous Life of a Super-Model
With the dogfights, attending a meetup with Catherine Asaro, and seeing Elle again before her week off for a RL vacation, I had a fairly full SL weekend.
Sunday afternoon/evening was much slower. I was trying to stay away from SL when my sister Google IM'ed me and asked if I wanted to do some Gun Model poses.
Me? A model? Sure!
And thus began my first job in my femPhin modeling career as a proud GirlWithGun
It was all very exciting. Exciting for 3 minutes.
Once I held my gun in hand, all the work was in Zoe's hands. I sat in the car for a few shots, then stood on the gun-pose stand while Z moved me around. I went AFK for a few minutes and poured myself a glass of wine, I sorted inventory, I rezzed something I wasn't sure about and got in trouble for ruining a shot, I went AFK again.
When I finally returned, Zoe was gone! WTF?
*harrumph*

Zoe Connolly: mmkay then...I'm done with the shoot. Thanks for posing!Photographers! Directors! They're all the same!

Bending Reality
There is currently a lively discussion in the SL Blogosphere about avatar shapes and what is real and unreal. If you haven't read them, you can catch-up here, here, here, and here.
So, let me say this about that:
As a shapeshifting avatar recently exploring the Grid as femPhin, I gotta say - in the world of SL, so-called realistic shapes are boring. That is, boring if everyone *did* resemble their RL selves. I mean no disrespect to those who want to retain their RL appearance in SL, but it's a fact in my own personal case that I almost left SL because I felt constrained and uninspired. I've tried to find my way in the metaverse for over a year and other than having a few close relationships that mean the world to me, I wanted a little more from my SL.
My recent plunge into shapeshifting has given me a new lease on life in my Second Life. Changing forms and shapes is what keeps me here and keeps me interested.
This is the only virtual world that allows one to change avatar appearance so easily. I like being a human male, a human female, a tiny squirrel (and other assorted tiny avatars), and soon will go exploring as an abstract avatar (neither human nor animal).
SL let's me do this...

A male in Real Life, I can stand on a beach in Extropia - wearing a female shape, hair, skin, red bikini, high-heeled shoes that don't sink into the sand - and chat with my SL GF.
