I recently created a new avatar, well I do it now and then for a change, cuz it's quite exciting to start all over again. You know like, get a cool name, create a story plot (since my alts are RP avies and they live a life of their own) and then go shopping for all the great stuff.
Well this is how I first looked like when I rezzed at the start location:
I'm the one in a "girl next door" look, wearing a stunning polka dot I-wouldn't-wear-it-for-an-hour-even-if-you-pay-me-hundreds-of-Ls dress. Notice the other avatar staring at me, probably wondering if I am really a total noob or someone's alt or just simply out of my mind. Also notice the stupid grin on my face, which I couldn't change yet at that very moment.
Unfortunately, a slut default avatar still isn't available in the inventory. I wonder why, considering that, it is the most popular and favorite look in SL.
While going through the default selection of avatars in my inventory, I discovered this gem:
Now this classic avatar is the famous "Ruth". Female avatars used to look like this, every time SL had its borky days. Some male avatars also turned to this ruthed figur, which was surprising at times. I was so glad that Ruth returned to our inventories, ya know, for sentimental value. She was gone for a while, since we all now turn to clouds, during SL borky times.
With this new avatar, I wanted to create a vintage style avatar, more like 40's - 50's era, cuz I thought it's kinda cool. After going through so many stores, in search for the most important body part, which is the skin (not genitals hmkay?), I finally decided on one of the best skin that's out there, but not telling you which one, cuz I keep my skin info topsecret he he... I'm pretty sure though, that skin fanatics can easily recognize a skin, from a well-known skinner.
For example, most if not all, hookers, sluts, strippers, escorts, fuck-me-now avies, somehow always wear Redgrave skins. I also noticed that most fugly female avies, with distorted shapes and weird outfits also wear mostly the same Redgrave skin (Hana?) and to make it even worse, they throw on some Stiletto Moody shoes with the feet skin color not properly matched. Kinda like bimbos in real life lol! I wonder why they do that? Neither me nor any of my alts own a Redgrave skin or Stiletto Moody shoes.
My reason for not buying a Redgrave skin is that, not one skin type appealed to me in any way, especially when I saw the butt shading --- I just don't like it. Don't get me wrong, my avie doesn't intend to get naked, so it's probably not important, but I sure blog about fashion now and then, so wearing lingerie with that butt, wouldn't be attractive to me at all. Gladly, I don't own and wear one of those, then suddenly encounter all those fugly avies wearing the same one, when I go shopping.
Now the reason I don't own any Stiletto Moody shoes is first of all, they don't provide a demo, secondly, they are just too exaggeratedly expensive (not willing to pay that price, though I can afford), third, there are better ones out there with more reasonable prices, fourth, most of those fugly bimbos wear them.
Searching for apparel and hair wasn't really that difficult, since I'm already familiar with most stores, with the best high quality items. So this is how she finally looked like after a couple of hours:
Isn't she gorgeous?
Isn't she lovely? Like a classic hollywood diva.
I know she's not wank material, but wait till you see her pin-up shots later, when I get the chance. I'll probably inflate her boobies a little bit more for the shots.
But lo and behold! She lives another life (not a third life dumb ass!) -- she's a vampire!! And this is how she looks like, when she goes out hunting to quench her thirst:
I discovered this gothic skin accidentally and I'm really loving it. I went to so many skin stores, trying to find a gothic skin I like, but most gothic skins are so paper white with zombie like make-ups. I wanted the skin to be very pale, but not white, with a rather strong make-up, but yet attractive face. A vampire has to be beautiful you know.
Of course the body shape plays a crucial role, when creating an avatar (get a C-Stylez body shape now!). That's why not everyone can create a gorgeous avatar, even if they use the same skins I'm using --- trust me. This skin from a not yet so well-known skinner, has beautiful body shadings, which is a great plus in my book.
Most gothic skins are so pale, you hardly recognize the body shadings, and the nipples are mostly also very pale (which I despise). I was really lucky to find this skin, since it's also not very dissimilar to the non-gothic skin I wear for this avatar. I'll post more fugly avies next time, since I found random shots recently, so you can understand what I mean. In the meantime.... blood! Gimme blood! Aaaaarghh!!
