no. you're famous when you can google your WHOLE SL name and come up with over 672k hits.
If you were paying me for all the time I waste chasing links because of you....!
Thank goodness I'm not as famous as you are because it took me long enough to click on all the links on the 5 pages that come up when I google my name. Even though they did all refer to the actual me the only interesting one was a picture of me at the Hangout.

No it's the standalone Openlife Sims.
Cost me nothing except for what it took to download it i.e my internet fees but building for some reason doesn't work.

Fair enough :) I am online after midnight SLT usually.
I would be happiest if I could by them as textures to place in my own frames but will happily buy them as prims if they are framed too. I don't know my textures are my babies
and I got love/hate thing going with them often they don't like leaving the dust bunnies of my inventory
Price is a difficult thing to advise on.
Perms would depend on whether you sell as textures or prims really I suppose.
Both textures and framed art have established "norms" for perms.

I have lot of art textures but very few I share or sell but you're welcome to whatever.
Donations and hug would be nice I don't really do art or anything truly important to myself for money I do it because I am compelled to create to live.
Truthfully on good day I realize all I really care about is my basics needs for creating are covered.
Yet is always nice to receive something extra every now and then but not so much that my head begins to swell if you know what I mean?

I think you do not give yourself enough credit FD, really if I take your art from you (and I consider it is art), I will definitely give you fair recompense and hope that you are not too embarassed to accept it. I realise that for the true artist talking about money is uncomfortable and awkward but as you know sometimes it is necessary. :)

I take it as "love" bite gesture.
Truthfully I go back and forth about money things be it in SL or FL.
On good day I realize I have all I need right now and I am blessed with numerous things.
On bad day I am bit bitter, comparing myself and feeling like worthless, insignificant, as a Artist and human being who will live a invisible existence and never really matter much to anyone else except those closest to him and himself and his value and artwork will be worth zero because by society standards only certain of individuals with certain degrees, etc are truly seen as valuable.
Yet their are more invisible, unknown's out there too and I still think personally they have value probably more of those then one's society values be in SL or FL more.
But when I am around the spend, spend, middle and higher class is best type mentality, anyone like myself is dog doodoo it starts to get to me a whole lot and I can't seem to shake it. The whole unless you got money, important job, SUV, big fancy degree, high end computer, wealth, cute, muscular and thin no one really will love or value anything you do. A Comedian I am fond of says if you're poor no Woman going to date you and only dates you get is with your hand. Here it is same way but they may still want to charge you. LOL

I agree with what you are saying, certainly there is too much of elitism in both worlds and too many willing to take advantage of others for a whole heap of reasons and those are things I dislike a lot.

Yes it makes me uncomfortable on very personal level.
Even in forum there ill informed people who will go on that only those who use SL have the ablity to buy 1000 dollar computer or more every year and can spend that much in world on whatever and those who can't shouldn't be able to be here.
If that was true I wouldn't be here, my artist friends who are disabled, ill who are have
low level systems that have taught me tons of things I would never met.
Some are so poor they don't even have working electric heaters in their first lives.
Truthfully if this mentality or worse continues I may not be here after November 2009.
I got my boyfriend here tonight if I can I come in after midnight and say hi.

The joys of living in the capitalist state. Just ask yourself who is really worth more - the person who designed the the label on the bottle of shampoo in your shower or the person who will clean your room if you ever need to check into a hospital. Guess who the free market judges to be more important.
You are more valuable to me than any millionaire I've ever heard of - for your good heart, your unflinching introspection, your honesty, your creativity, your appreciation of beauty and your humility.

Edited to add: Doh! And your sense of humor!

may i add to Kaimi's note - in life, those who touch us most are teachers, family and friends, and special people in our RL that most other people don't even know about.

very few famous people are actually infamous, and they probably mentored "regular nobody's" in their lives. without cheating and using google, name the last 10 Miss Universe winners. name a handful of pullizter prize winners from this century. you get my point.

people who walk around pompous and self righteous are merely entertainment. we certainly have our share in these forums. annoying to a degree, but really more comical and fun to goad and laugh at - although that is mean to say and probably equal to their snobbery in a certain way.

isn't irony beautiful?

i love to make ironic jokes about it, because it is so transparent. FD, you are a great person. love yourself. in the end, no one else's opinion matters except those who you want to matter. *hugs*

I can sit on my beach and I can test textures but the clothing won't stay on nor the clothes.

Still pretty nice.

Irony is beautiful if it is also poetic justice... Sometimes it's amusing. It's always ironic.

True sometimes life is filled with major irony that don't always makes sense.
My visiting nurse was telling me how I reminder her of friend of her husbands.
The guy's nickname was Kinko because he had wild kinky curly hair like mine wasn't much into cutting his hair like I don't.
Some in spite of the fact he didn't cut his hair, was unique someone saw something in him.
He was bit unusual like I am but he met some really great friends and got hooked up with one of most wealthiest men in US.
And he started a copy printing place named Kinko's which is pretty well known in my area.
Now I am not sure if she was fibbing or was actually telling the truth or telling me a story.
But she was saying that sometimes certain people are given a legacy that helps them become successful, then there are people like me who she says are like Savants but have lot of things working against them who didn't have someone there to inspire and give them a legacy.
I don't know if I am truly a Savant. I have talents but I also have challenges lot of people don't get too but older I get I realize we are all inner connected in some way regardless
of who we are or what we having working for us or against us.
As she was saying certain people are given the right tools and gifts at right time when they needed it.
Very few truly successful people do it all by themselves they usually have someone who inspired, encouraged and believed in them a long the way to push them to right direction.
Thing is this doesn't always happen for everyone sadly.
It is easy to get caught up in judgments, prejudices and marginalize certain groups of people as "waste of time" aka they are too lazy,etc.
What keeps me in SL is my friends who take time and give me hope and legacy even if its something as simple as what a fraction or percent is, or how certain design would work.

So what's *this* got to do with irony?

I get it. I am sorry you don't get it.
Irony of is sometimes what creates true success is kindness and someone believing
even if the person isn't as smart, wealthy as you or is more unusual or someone different what most are programed to consider successful or valuable.
Knowing things doesn't always make one Knowledgeable.

Nope. Not ironic. Surprising, heartwarming and other schmaltzy women's magazine stuff that describes something that happens less than 1% of the time in the modern business world, but not ironic.

It's not what you intend a word to mean that matters; it's what it *does* actually mean. Try reading the Guardian article I referenced above.

Pep (So what does "mean" mean?)

PS And sorry, but your pretentious last line is nonsense.
