ARTICLE: Touching Aimee's Panties

I <3 Aimee.

Go check the forums for the period in July where you did just that. I think we all survived.

ADDENDUM

I think these journalists would be very well advised to take a look at Munchflower and the impact she has had on SL. You can see her influence and designs everywhere.

So many members, male and female, wear her skins and her clothes. She is an incredible SL success story and for the life of me I cant understand why she is overlooked when her influence and success is so impressive, and extensive.

Is it that Munch is not cute? She doesnt post in the forums? Her fingers are not up her nose? Is that what it takes for recognition?

I dont know her well, but I think Munch's influence in SL has been phenomenal and were she to leave SL her absence in the skin and fashion areas would be noticed.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Lindens, more often than none, journalists seek out sources wherever they will find them. They obviously look for a few things, popularity, success, amiability and visibility. Aimee is all of these.

How do you expect the Lindens to oversee this? If they recommended someone else, I'm sure you would be here ranting about favortism again.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant, what would you, ENABRAN, have left to talk about?

P.S. Once my "victim" was "unmasked?" Good heavens, Enabran. Sometimes I just don't know where you are coming from. A real-life $40,000 money contract gets handed to a business by the "government" (Lindens), in secret, and without any bidding process whatsoever.

And you still persist in thinking I am just looking to "victimize" or vilify Bedazzled, rather than bringing up the principle of the thing?

This has everything to do with the Lindens, even if you read the articles, it says such and such Linden has put me in touch with so and so. The LINDENS tell people like ABC WHO to talk to.

Geeze, I think I practically even REMEMBER this one, Enabran, master of the dig-back-through-the-forums talent. I think I was saying (if I recall right) that getting outside businesses to contract work within SL was a huge step forward.

Pfft, these forums were here alot longer than you. You are certainly full of yourself.

Im sure we can expect more of you telling us how wrong we all are, while harping about how right you are.

I'd have much less sniping and blaming of the FIC/THEY/successful to refute, that's for sure.

Munch made my eyes, we went over it for a long time until I thought they were justright and she's always amazed me with being prolific and a real MacGyver of Photoshop, as she puts it. I'd like to see her featured in more articles, one I recall was this:

She's even got her own sim now, and I lurve the ground!

I remember when Munch+Aimee had a party starting at Hawthorne but it was soooooo laggy in the old sim, and it was later moved to Umber. Correct me if I'm wrong but they were early roomies! Therein lies the wonderful connexions of SL.

This was meant as a joke - in that a "crap" comment ballooned this whole thing. I meant no disrespect toward Torley whatsoever.

I am not writing this under duress.

Please return my assests to me.

This is just crass and mean spirited. Aimee is incredibly talented, as are all the people you listed. To say that she is not deserving of attention is just, rude. Would I like to see other people enjoy some attention as well? Yes, but I certainly don't blame Aimee, or Neph (who has had quite a bit of press), or anyone else who has been in the spotlight. It is not necessary to degrade someone to promote someone else, but apparently you are fine doing that. I am sure none of the designers you mentioned would like to be associated with the kind of negativity you posted here - they all have too much class to be that rude, so don't name drop them to make a point. How are your sales again?

They recommended Aimee. Good choice in my opinion.

As a journalist, I'm pretty sure that they do research which includes reading the web pages and other articles on SL. Those other articles on SL have also read the web pages.

That the name(s) they end up with may well be popular, successful, amiable and visible subjects goes without saying. Naturally you don't want to feature horrible people.

The point is there are HUNDREDS of people in SL who would fit this same criteria. If anyone is to be featured on the website, others should have a chance at it.

If no one is ever to be featured on the website - forcing reporters to actually go into the game to get information, whether or not they intended to - then I wouldn't put it to the Lindens to start fixing this by fixing the website.

I'm really surprised at what some people have posted in this thread, but I think people need to realize there is a distinction of personality types, Aimee for example goes after what she wants, and is very ambitious at heart. I don't downplay anyone else's talent, but talent alone doesn't get you the kind of publicity she's getting. People who sit back and wait for fame to come to them should get comfortable... it may be a while!

In the meantime, why go attacking people for having what you feel someone else should have? Wouldn't the time be better spent doing what they have to do to HAVE it? Or, by all means, start your own online magazine, review website, whatever you wish, and highlight the people you feel deserve it!

--Just a thought

Even worse.

As I pointed out above, I was talking to Enabran with that post.

And by the way - how is it that you read this entire thread and come from it with the idea that there is just me on it, telling you all wrong "we all are."

Seems to me that there are more voices in this thread than just me saying the sorts of things I'm saying. Or do they just not count, Weedy?

Were you not going off a few weeks ago about how understaffed LL was? Do you seriously believe that the Lindens should hold a competition, or a lottery or a interview process for a journalist?

If someone wrote an article about Canada, I am a proud and hard working Canadian, but I dont expect to be screened with selection criteria.

Gosh! Open society does not mean everyone should be equal! Read definition here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_society

An open society has to be PLURALISTIC and multicultural, in order to benefit from the maximum number of viewpoints possible to the given problems. What this means is that if two people work very hard and equally creative, one should not have an advantage to other because that person have more connections, can have more options to spread their view point or have more people who promote him or her.

In idealistic open societies, everyone have a voice and could have the opportunity to be exposed for their hard work/creativity, it is not a play ground of selected few. Indeed, one of the great destabilizing effects of Internet was to promote open societies. Because SL is seen as an extension of Internet as forming a society, I would like it to be an open virtual society appreciating those who contribute and create (stop! read again, didnt say everyone, I said equal voice for those who create, contribute).

This is very well said. Sigh. If only I weren't so often blinded by rage at incompetence and mediocrity, perhaps I could argue as effectively on subjects like these. Ah well, maybe I'll mellow with age.

Aimee Aimee Amiee there do I sound like a cheerleader. I'm with Sensual on this one. Who gives a rats ass, there are so many other players oops I mean "subscribers" who have done so much more that never get recognized. Lets try something new here...lets not mention LL's "Pets" for a week. That would be refreshing.

Yeah, most likely they will mention that damn Celine Dion
