just ignore and let this one die

In all fairness- In case Yosef does have an SL gf- we're just playing here. I met him in world and he was very nice.

Still do wish he would cook for me though .

Feel better!

LOL....
I just checked my e-mails and found one where my cage had been returned from the hangout...have a look:



Has Joseph gone up in the world and not told us?

hehe

Ooooh... Joseph is Philip. That explains a lot.

I wanted to make a clear delineation between Real Discrimination in RL and stuff we open ourselves to in SL because although I have thankfully never been the target of RL discrimination I want to make sure no one is offended by the comparison.

Now, having said that, a few months ago I was on tirade about furry discrimination... some at the time made similar statements- regarding choice versus your birth right. However, the reason I find Sling’s point valid is that while the condition of my birth – Hispanic female- may cause discrimination in certain circles, the choices I make are born of, yes my own background, but also of the formative nature of my life experiences. I realize in SL we have the choice to be things that do not even enter the realm of possibility in RL- but even our choices are determined by our life experiences and the desire to explore within ourselves.

Why would being a certain color – not human color, steering way afar of racial discrimination for reason stated above- influence how I am perceived? I think it may perhaps say more to the one doing the perceiving how they feel about it if they are willing to explore that within themselves – than why I choose to be rainbow colored.

I didn’t choose for shock factor- I chose green because it matched the fairy; blue for the mermaid… I went with the grey skin for a black and white movie character but that actually caused consternation in my dance friend as well.

The clockwork girl I admit was for weirdness sake.. I am now exploring “weird for the sake of weird” too.

Got nothing to add but for some reason felt that I just HAD to have a post in this humungous thread!

Welcome to the dark side.



Thanks Ladies!

I am off to enjoy life and sadly will miss the 2000 post! Will enjoy reading it thou.

yey!!



we need moar people!!!

Down kitty! Heel!

Right there with you. My best and dearest friend is a slave. I tried gor to be near her but it did not work out wellat all. Now I visit when I can and I even wear silks while there and listen to her "Jarl" prattle on about how she is so lucky to be allowed to kneel in front of him ... blah, blah, *retch*. But I do it because I love my friend dearly.


I have a full copy of ruth in my inventory. Right down to the clothes and shoes. It's amazing how much more clearly a man thinks with the head above his shoulders when when I wear what I call my plain brown wrapper. I have not thought about skin color, but I wanted that av to be as bland as possible.

OK, so I only wear it when I'm in a pissy mood but it seems to get my point across.

Hahah... What we won't do for our friends.
I hope she returns the favour once and a while, and ventures out to free lands, to visit you.

Hey! Reminds me of another classic funny movie.
"Earth Girls are Easy."

1) Do you wear any not-human color skin, i.e. green, blue red, etc?

2) Have you ever felt anyone has treated you differently because of wearing skin of such colors?

3) If someone you know won't associate with you when you are "colorful", do you change to accommodate their preferences?

1. I wear a paper white skin when I am my Vamp girl in RP.

2. Its funny, I get more attention (either wanted or unwanted) when I am wearing my vamp skin than when I am just normal.

3. I will change it more based on location than if a person likes it or not. Most people frown on a half dressed female vampire showing up at a wedding or for a night out at Frank's.

Don't get me started on Frank's!
Phat's peeps loved my Deamoness avi -

I would think it would be the other way around.

Many years ago I was your typical biker. Long hair, dirty jeans, black tee shirt and leathers. When we would ride to Mexico we always got searched on the way back. I knew I would be singled out because of the way I chose to look. I looked like a druged up biker -- but then I was a druged up biker.

I made my choices know full well there would be consiquences and people would treat me different because of those choices.

I can't change the skin I was born in. Yet people will treat me different because of it. Try that for a lifetime and you can make some rash reactions to it. Like becoming a druged up biker for one ...

Valerie: [Franticly to Candy] A UFO landed in my pool and they captured me but we made friends and I fed them Pop-Tarts and they're here now but Ted's coming home tonight so we've got to cut their hair.

Dear lord that movie was so bad it was great!

I have blue, purple, gray, and gold skins. I love them all and I wear them often. I get hit on less when I'm wearing them, which is sad because I feel exotic and sexy in them.

And that is Responsibility- making your choices aware there is always a price to pay.

Oryx- gold sounds really cool where did you get it?

of course! I meant so you can keep tabs on his cooking..heh

Please post this in products wanted..





YAY Has anyone mentioned it´s Fridaaaaay!!!!!

I saw some nice gold skins at PopFuzz Designs, I don't know if that's where Oryx found hers, though.

I'm not inworld atm; will be this afternoon. Send me a shout then.

Ooh- for a minute there a thought, "Great, police for the Neverending Thread!" Glad you were Fridaying me
