We all share the light here on planet Earth. It comes from the sun, it lights up your face, and we see how beautiful you are. And you are very beautiful. But in Second Life, the regional lighting is God awful. The shadows are unflattering, and the artificial sunlight too harsh. So I use a custom light to create the pretty pictures of my avatar that you see below. I just ignore and assume that the regional light is good enough for everyone else to look at my avatar. But there's a snag. I recently acquired a pair of mesh feet, so I am able to wear the best shoes. And mesh shoes are undoubtedly the best shoes. Mesh items are more realistic looking than painted on clothes. But my feet don't react to light the same as the rest of my body. If I use custom light then it's OK, but only I can see that my avatar looks OK. Everyone else would see white feet with a body blackened by shadow! Why should I care what other people see? Oh my God, I'm more competitive than I thought I was... Oh my God, it's driving me ape shit... If I had a mesh body then the feet would blend smoothly with the body, but I wouldn't be able to use my old clothes! No wait, I don't have any money, so that's not an option. I'll just have to make do with what I got.
Natty, that's very glamorous. What is that, an upside down urinal? I'm just kidding! Is there a shortage of hair dryers or something? Oh what a hectic life, huh...
And Pina, it's nice to see you again! That's it honey, sleepwalk just like everyone else. But I do know what you are really feeling inside. You love this crazy big business even though you are scared of it. And it's making you aroused! Whatever you do, make sure you marry the right guy for you OK?
