I had some trouble with Second Life crashing. Sometimes it's because of the rain storm and the fact that I have satellite internet. Anyway, I logged back on and found I had boobs! and my clothes didn't fit and my hair colour changed to blonde!
Something weird happened to my avatar. Has this happened to anybody else?
Are these variables easily scrambled? I wonder what else might have happened? Could I have lost inventory or something?
I don't think I could masquerade as a woman for long and get away with it with a name like CaptainBob!

This sometimes happens on log in or when teleporting, esp. when the frame rate per second is slow. What you're seeing is the default "ruth" avatar. It generally morphs into "you" within a few seconds. Shocking, ain't it?

Yes. I've always had this sneaking thought that a woman was created first in the world of SL.

So, what you're saying, is had I waited, I would've morphed back to my old self. Since I didn't and started changing my appearance manually, I stayed that way.
Hmmm. Is there a way to change your name? I should've picked a gender neutral name like Leslie or Bobby-Joe. It could be fun to win a few contests in drag! |

CaptainBob,
This is apparently a bonus feature that the Lindens were working, but didn't follow through due to the failure to make an appropriate "Touch Myself" gesture. If you don't morph back into your manly state, right click on yourself go into Appearance, then close it. You should get a prompt asking if you'd like to save changes. Just say no, and your dudely self should be intact sans penile attachments. And next time, make back up copies of yourself. Sometimes that trick above doesn't work. _____________________

Lash, I have the animation/gesture you seek. IM me in game for a demonstration. _____________________

These unfortunate chronodistortions involving the Telehub system struck my father (Torley Sr.) a number of times, according to his journal entries. One of them "permanently" mutated him into an alien with black skin and a long neck and hands large enough to grasp even the mightiest of dinner plates. I suspect a rift in spacetime opened up and throttled him into a metametaverse -- possibly at the Ambat TH, according to my calculations. My estimations are still preliminary and details are sketchy, but the moral remains: back up your beloved essence in folders as appropriate.

I wasn't complaining. I will have to see how to backup myself though. Then make some cash for some new nipples and genitals and sexy clothes.

It happens to me regularly. And myy first thought at this sight is invariably "eek, I have a fat butt.... that means... I've been Ruth-possessed"

I betcha somewhere out there is someone that hangs around Telehubs and snaps photos of (normally) male avatars as they "ruthinate" into existance, then blackmail them with the threat of sending the photos to the avatar's listed partner.
And if not, the idea is now out there. _____________________

Actually it's NOT a bug. There is a group of griefer surgeons running around SL doing drive by sex change operations.
