Damn...I was going for the Erik Estrada . I guess I could always be the Gary Coleman of SL :p


hehe, we should start a whole separate thread on who our celebrity soul mates might be.

OK, hmmmm, I guess I could be Tom Cruise -- that is, the younger, conflicted version. Oh, what am I thinking? That IS the current Tom Cruise. :P

I have only been in game about 3 weeks..so Im still getting familar with people. But thanks to those that yell my name in game and say "Hey there's the famous Blake Rockwell" from the forums..not sure why..and unfortunately a couple do not speak to me anymore because of the drama that is sometimes created on twisted and spun topics. Most that do know me in game know my heart. Actually I think for most of us that converse here on the forums..we are more like family though the spectators may view all of us as Celebs.

The first friend I had on the forums was Lecktor Hannibal he took me in like family..and I consider him a friend, but; The fallback of being a Celeb is that you sometimes get flamed and posts get spun and turned giving the wrong impression or something said that wasn't mean't. Sorry I don't hear from you anymore, I don't like that to happen to anyone..I am only here to make friends and Entertain..being famous is not the important thing..good friends are priceless. May all your Fantasys come alive.

I havent heard of you :P

Yes. :D

I think one of the requirements for being an SL celebrity is to believe that you are a celebrity -- or believe that you want to be. So the question I didn't ask was -- and the question this thread answered was -- who believes?

Flypaper.

;)

how interesting. some student of human behavior take note. the original question is asked who is an sl celebrity and numerous people post about themselves and their own belief in their celebrity.

the best post pointed out that it depends on what group of people a person tends to gravitate towards as to who may be a celebrity. when sl had a smaller population there were a few celebrities, mostly designers and such, Mistress Midnight, Frankie Beach, Sinatra Cartier, heck all the midnights, yes u to Chip. people that the entire population knew or knew of. Shadow and Cristiano and Torrid and Candy and Taessa and Sassy and Briana. Baccara and Viola and the Sunshine family sisters and Bigjohn, although that big goof was my neighbor and i never thought much about his pending celebrity.

today celebrity is more confined and limited to smaller groups in areas on the map and its become even more splintered with the advent of the private islands.

my 2 cents.

I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So, who gives a crap if they're Socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car.

And it may mean that self-aggrandizement on the forums may be more important to one's celebrity status than it used to be -- and celebrity-dom might be based less on what you do than how you're perceived. "SL celebrities" and "forum celebrities" could be two merging concepts.

I still see a major distinction, though, between forum celebrities and in-world celebrities. I have met very few forum celebs in-world, and conversely, many popular players rarely post. But, yes. I do agree that the two worlds will eventually merge.

Hehe, now mum -- don't get your girdle in a bunch! You can be Marisa if you want to.

But, what I mean is that you're the SL version of the Hollywood Insider. Always in the know. IOW, you would be the ideal SL Extra! or ET spokesmodel. :D
