just ignore and let this one die

Don't how you keep track of them all Elora lol. I have Chandra, and Lollipop. Chandra is pretty quiet, but then I don't let her out much. Lolli, is a very cute kiddie avvie. I don't play her a lot, but when she's out she is sooo cheeky.

I don't take them to the hangout a lot, mostly they're just out on my land. When they are at the hangout, I make sure its in my profile that they are my alts, and that people know who they are.

Sssh, don't tell but I did nearly forget about one of them

huh...I have made two alts. Both because of this thread..

JerboasGhost - after the unfortunate mousie-for-lunch incident.

and

JerboaThe Popstar - this weekend just to needle Brenda.

Of course nobody would have figured out they were really me...when I'm in deep stealth...I'm real good.

I tried to morph into a guy once- not an alt- just me as a guy- it creeped me out so bad i can't tell you! I did it cause I attempted to make guy's clothes.. but it was so horrifying I couldn't concentrate and decided SL doesn't need me to make guy's stuff if I have to actually look like a guy to do it.

Interesting question. The first thing that came to mind was electronics as they are always getting smaller and smaller. But they don't always cost more as they become less.

Now, as far the lingerie goes, I'll have to add this comment just because no one else has.

Pictures please!

Oooh...I think I see a new money-making opportunity.

A new class: "How To Be A Guy...For Those With Alt-itis"

/me scurries away to look for a venue..and write a lesson plan...

I wonder why men seem to have little problem having female alts, but women dislike having male alts so much? At least that's how it seems to look from my seat.

I was with a gf at the time and she was just as freaked out.. then Steely came on line and she and i were both like- OMG!! change quick!! He didn't see me - I warned him off but he cracked up over the whole thing. Lol- the funniest thing was- i went into appearance - and changed body and then realized i was still wearing my usual skin - makeup! and earrings!! omg!!!

Hahaha! Should have taken pics for posterity

Hell no! I still can see the image- no amount of eye bleach seems to eradicate the nightmare!

I tried Chandra as a male once. Was just for seeing how some freebies looked, but I didn't have a decent shape, so didn't keep it. I definitely couldn't play as a male av, but it didn't freak me out totally.

Course, I bet it would prolly be wierder if I made Claire a male.

But then I'd prolly laugh over a guy called Claire.

There's some truth in that. According to the surveys, about four times as many men as women play cross-gender avatars routinely.

But it's an individual thing. I remember once trying to help a guy who wanted to try crossing over, just to see what it was like. He was so nervous and uncomfortable in a female av! Other guys have reported feeling the same way in threads here. Women can be the same way...I feel very uncomfortable when playing a male avatar. The only one I ever made finally got a sex change.

It's all a matter of personal gender identity and preference. Some people can play either gender with equal ease. Others strongly prefer one over the other...and it may or may not be their Real Life gender.

That's not what bugs me, though. What creeps me out are people who make armies of alts. (Sorry, Elora...none of the following is aimed at you, you are a sweetie!)

Alts have the potential for serious abuse, as spies, as bait, as emotional blackmailers, and as head-diddlers. Some people, like Elora, just like having a lot of different roles to slip into...but any time I meet someone who's got a big stable of accounts, I can't help but be aware of the potential for abuse, and feel wary about them.

It's no fun dressing them, there isn't a decent freebie walk, and everyone assumes they just want sex. And for me I just can't disguise that I know nothing about the things most heterosexual men are into; sports, beer, computers and women

dammit!

I just crashed three times in a row!

So true. I think many people do abuse their alts. I'm one of those who always has come clean about who I am when I'm in the other person. I always will announce right way "I'm Elora" when I walk into the room. And as mentioned, I rarely use these characters. Most were created when I first arrived inworld and were used instead of Elora, at a time when I was trying to hide certain activities from someone in my RL. He knew about Elora, but had no knowledge of the others. Now that that person is out of my life, it makes no difference who knows about the Alts at all. And since I myself have been the victim of "Alt Abuse", it would be hypocritical of me not to be honest.

I got more words out of her, but ended up even more confused by the end. She did sigh at me though.

I forget which store you mean, but one that sticks in my mind that has three floors (though isn't *that* big) has a pillow and book with a reading animation. The flower was very close to that, on the ground, and tiny.

Is keeping Zeus locked up in the dungeon considered "alt abuse"?

Yer welcome! Th' show will be there through February 8th.

I was really tryin' t'get a piccie of simple joy with the hula hoop one. Jes give the whole idea of simply having fun. Sometimes we all get tied into the dramas, or the SL economy, or system troubles, or whatever an forget that we all prob'ly mostly joined to have fun.

The car one, well, Mr Grommet had me try out a new car. A 1948 Tucker. I wanted to do some piccies with it, an that ws what happened. I kinda did a bit of posterising on it to make it really sorta flat an graphic.

The birthday party was super fun. We did trivia, which I totally won at, 'especially cuz it was cartoon an Disney trivia. An I got to hang out with some really super kids I know from camp.



Thankoo! What ha dun see is all the time spended workin' in the workshop, of course.



Thanks! Th' bubble wand was one of those moments of inspiration. I was talkin' with my friend Johnny about how I wasn't sure how to make the gallery feel more like someplace for showin' kid piccies. It's all kinda moorish an formal. We started to bounce around ideas, an I started makin the bubbles made on the ideas. Before ya knew it, we had a theme.

Mari

And again

I give up!

Yes- because you won't let Hera go play with him!

Agreed. And while some good natured head-diddling is not always a bad thing (gad, there's a phrase itching for use in a sig), the notion is one of the reasons I'd love to see limits placed on the number of alts one can have, and an end to anonymous accounts.

I personally have no issue playing a female alt. It's hella fun most of the time. Only twice has someone wanted to get a little closer emotionally than was comfortable, and I had to confide that I was RL male so they wouldn't get hurt. Thankfully they respected me for that instead of getting too upset.

Beautiful piccie! Shows what one can do with some very basic stuff. Jes flat water and you. Super! What filters are ya usin?

Here... have a puppy.



...and dun let the stupid stuff getcha down.

awwww cuuute!!!
