The Need to Laugh

I really like the sense of humor that some merchants have in Second Life.

I guess you have to have one, if you rent at least, given my recent story about the land-grab by an owner without any warning to her tenants.  Still, even with an angelic landlord there is still the vagary of Second Life itself.  Lately Linden Lab has been issuing little warnings like the one mentioned in my last blog.  These say, essentially “you can walk around and chat but don’t even THINK of using your inventory or transferring any funds around. The database is all messed up.”

That must really warm merchants’ hearts, so a sense of humor may be the only defense against despair.  That is why I went back to the folks who sold me my dreadlocks.

I’m fond of anyone who can make fun of the pretensions of Second Life fashion.  So if you need some hair before Hair Fair 2008 opens its doors, you’ll do no better than stopping by Mystikal Hair Designs and check out the tresses on offer.

They put a smile on my face!

Very true,

I see it over and over every day. Lets see which impact that Ganguroskin that I am wearing now will have *G*

Thanks, Tenchi—my thoughts exactly.  Who among the “blingtards” and tattooed love-boys has that courage to be different in SL? IN REAL LIFE?

Amazes me how, in trying to look “edgy” the folks who are probably the most mainstream in real life end up creating a new mainstream in SL that is only edgy in appearance and has little to do with real urban-hipster culture or cyberpunk life…

Yeah this is the reason why I love SL so much. Who would ever dare to do such a thing in a close to perfect world?
Big respect to Mystical Hair this is what Sl needs ... the courage to be different and original ... I salute that.

I hope they have a “i just got up and havenĀ“t put attention to my hair yet” hairstyle for women :D
