Location: Shopping Until Pappy Be A-Droppin’

Actually, Tenchi delivered the goods, in the form of a shopping list, with amazing speed.  Nearly all of his wardrobe came from one store, D2TK, and Pappy got sucked into a dance party right away with the owners and their friends.

After cavorting and shopping, Pappy was quickly able to find a skin and shape on his own. He got just the right shirt on his own too, at Bailer’s Outfitters, where another dance party, a line-dance this time, was in progress when he arrived.

Pappy avoided another dance marathon, though a virtual dog named Booger followed Pappy around the shop, looking hopeful.  Pappy also just had to throw some Lindens down at Mystikal Hair, the maker of my own dreads.

Tenchi’s ability to find the right boots, jeans, and hat for Pappy’s (temporary) new look astounded me.  Consider this a blatant endorsement.  It’s a blog, so journalistic neutrality? Fiddlesticks.

For 1150 Lindens, Pappy Enoch, that full-figured guest writer for In a Strange Land, “transmogrified” himself into a pretty good replica of James Dean’s character “Jett Rink” from the epic (and often hilariously dated) film Giant. I love that film, camp and all.

Pappy actually spent 450L more, but he found that a free shape worked better than another shape he bought from Million Dollar Skin Lab, a locale for celebrity look-alike shapes I mentioned here some time ago. Kudos to the company for giving away such nice freebies. I don’t think the 450 was wasted after all—consider it a tip!

As good as Iron Man was, as well as the cool Iron Man avatars I kept seeing in-world, we need some old-school Hollywood avatars running about the metaverse. Filmmaker Cecil Hirvi is correct. As this technology improves, old actors will never die. They’ll live on in virtual worlds, doing new work.
