Race: A Big Deal in Second Life?

The default bimbo sim! They were usually named SexiHottiBabiGurl about 12-14 and a huge pain in the behind.

You pretty much have to buy a skin if you want a non-white avatar. For the default skin, no matter how dark you make the skin tone, the nipples are always pink. So, if you're not whitey, you get to pay the man or look stupid (or make your own skin if you're not lazy like me). I don't get e-naked anyway (much) so I don't really care (pink nipples for my dark black skin, haa haa), but it's really kinda dumb, much like "nude" being a shade of panty hose or "flesh" being a crayon color (back in the day, that is).


Furries are the white people of Second Life.

There is an alternative, which is to have someone make a nipple texture for you lol. Daynon Valentino made mine - I don't have a full skin, as I still do not like the embalmed corpse look, but I don't have neon pink nipples either

I agree with Cristiano, I've yet to see a darker skin that looks natural, aesthetically pleasing, or just plain "undiseased". And I agree with Crom, darker shades in the default skin are basically "Caucasian heavy tan". You don't want to look diseased or Riviera Euro, you make your own.

I build, I don't make skins. Yet. So I'm Caucasian heavy tanned, which is a pity, because I'm not.

LOL Riviera Euro - what a polite way to say overly tanned Eurotrash

I never understood why the early stages of melanoma are considered attractive Skin cancer isn't sexy people.

Not to hijack this thread even further, but I feel like stalking you today, Mavis. I give you the following link:

Making cancer sexy

We are? How'd that happen?

Hey Torley! What ever happened to 'tan goth', anyway?

lol stalk me anytime Cristiano Although I may have to hunt you down and shoot you if you keep callin me Mavis

Ok but how about Madge? It's what Guy Ritchie calls Madonna lol.

Mel-a-noma come on over, come and cover me with scabs
Put freckles all about my face, put moles across my back
Melanomas are just tumours, tiny kisses from the sun
We're here to say to everyone that cancer can be fun

Hehe... good memory, Cross... hasn't come yet but I'm fine with my current skin. Maybe someday though, if I hang out at virtual beaches too much. ^_^

LOL How about Mae, it's cute and to the point, and Mae West was awesome "Why don'tcha come up and see me sometime"

Cris is that a pic of your hand in your pants? WOW you know we all race to diff goals but you didnt have to show us what you were trying to BEAT everyone in.

Only kidding bro =)

Tan goth is a phenomenon seen in only in Miami and at a weird little club called Jeepers Creepers in Ibiza.

Speaking of Miami, I saw a goth drag queen waitress at Lucky Chang's once in South Beach. A little something like this:

If you remember correctly, it was one of the illustrations for your blowjob class.

stfu cris. you just made me crack up laughing and im at work! lol hehe i cant post the response i want to right now either but you sure as hell made a good come back =\

Thank you, I try

SL is one giant box of crayons.
(I'm one of the half eaten ones)

That is deep.

I also wounder if the pallet of colors used for ground, trees, extra has some thing to do with what colors people chose for their avatar. BTW is it me or is 85% of the sl avatar populas have black hair?

i've noticed all the black hair too. i think it's because other hair colors look nasty under certain lights in sl. plus black is badass.

Also black hair is easier to match up hair attachments and most blonde hair looks green under most lighting I had red for a long time and got tired of the 2 hrs to match up a new hair style

Hmmm lets see, I have purple hair and tanned skin, not sure what race that makes me. I just like to think that i'm part of the pixel race. Yes that's it!

You left out Cherubs.
