Well there is definitely merit to the concept of proper place and time for everything.


In a Brothel a woman in just stiletto heel's and a nipple chain would be a reasonably common sight. And surely woudlnt be something to complain about. Someone complaining about whores in a whorehouse has issues.

Likewise in a strip club, same thing, complaining about naked women in heels in a strip club is pretty stupid.

------------------

In a store its a bit different.

If that Store sold sexually themed merchadise, someone might just be trying on their new purchase - so the fact that they were largely undressed might make sense.

Especially in a BDSM store since much of the clothing there shows off areas normally concealed.


But in a normal store without a Obvious sexual theme, it would be pretty unusual for a naked woman to be walking around in nipple chain and stilettos.

My complaint here is probably academic, as I've developed a (thus far) foolproof way of keeping all the creepy naked people away. But, I just thought I'd throw the idea out there to see what happens.

Honey, I have been in here for over a year and I don't go around in the nude either. I even change my clothes at home so no one can see me. If for some reason I do have to change my clothes in public I put on the new ones before I take off the old ones. Even though there are those that do go around in the nude others just have trouble with their clothes rezzing. I remember way back when a lot of us were thrown into help island when we logged in, I had my clothes on in my screen but others were showing me in the nude. That one freaked me out because it is pg. So who knows, maybe it is intentional and maybe it is not. Personally if it offended me, I would just ask them if they know their clothes arent showing.

Selective quoting is fun.
Ain't it the truth! So is combining three random posts together as one quote. :p

As you can see, I'm completely naked. I have also seen used car salesmen and hobos licking their own but it is lunch time, so I'll make myself a tuna sandwich.

SHHHH! Aw, now you gave it away. Yes, guys, every woman you meet in SL with scanty clothing and high heels really just Wants It, and Wants It Now. (/me quickly runs a Search for that old forum thread on where to buy flats)

/me looks sad

From: Jeni Roussel
I got a pair of ballet flats from Last Call - Ninette. Don't know if theyre still there.

From: Isabeau Imako
Hi Brandi!! I sure know what you mean. When I first arrived, I couldn't believe the choice there was for high heels and the lack of flats. From the top of my head, I would check out Shiny Things and Jeepers Creepers (I'm not inworld.) Also, there has been a few threads on flat alternatives - try searching the forums using Search. I'm sure someone else is bound to give you a few other suggestions... Good Luck! :)


From: Nika Talaj
Just a bit ago we had this great thread on where to find sneakers, mentions places for other flats: /327/dd/221956/1.html

I bought a couple pair! I noticed while at Tickled Pink (never did find the sneakers there) that they had a few good flats/low heels too.

@Elora: For topsiders, see this thread, it gives places for sailing gear in general, and has pics of the Topsiders at Virtual Creations/Muse: http://slsailing.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1504

There's some other ideas from Mari on where to get sailing gear here:

Bare Rose have some flats, sandals and chinese slippers, often overlooked (by me, anyway) because the shoes and hair are by the mens section.

I don't agree, Dakota. I think that what people are saying is that in SL, you should be able to be free to be who you want, and ithers shouldn't judge you. Because you choose to be "prudish", nobody has a right to judge you at all. You shouldn't be harassed for how you dress, and your point of view is valid and deserves as much respect as the others.

It's a big world. There's plenty of room for all points of views. Yours, mine, naked people's, etc. I also think that people should have some respect for the views of others and not run about naked in PG sims or places where it's inappropriate or where the landowner has requested that they not.



well isn't the question "Does one persons right to feel as if they can impose their views on another person who has the right to be slutty overide the second persons right"?

Sad but true we are judged for what we wear how we act what we say where we go who we hangout with..if we arent prepared to allow people to have the right to disagree with our choices..then should we have the right to make our own choices as well?

One would argue that the "slutty person" was infringing on their rights not to have to look at that mess..while the "slutty person" would argue that the current rules for mature SIMs wether it be a store or not allows that behavior.

Should I pay you now or later for your analysis and treatment of my mental disorder?


I said I don't like any body piercings. Where in that sentence did it say its wrong or others shouldn't like it either? Of course others like it, that's why they go around mutilating their bodies.

When is my next session?


If you're willing to pay for some pretty basic advice, please feel free to do so. I'm broke again. It's not like I sent you a bill, though. I swear, if I were inworld now, I would make one up because, you have to admit, that would be funny.

Wow. For a guy who accuses others of failing reading comprehension, you seem to have a difficult time with it. I didn't say you had a mental disorder. If you don't like piercings, fine. I was commenting because I have never seen anything out of you that wasn't negative, judgmental, or demeaning to others. I figured that maybe nobody has ever told you that if you concentrate on the positive things in your life and just ignore people who are doing things that aren't your cup of tea, that you will be a lot happier. So will the people around you because they won't have to listen to you tell them how much you dislike the things they take joy in, or how much you are revolted by them. It can't be much fun to be around someone who is always judging you and putting you down, can it?

If you want to schedule a session, talk to my assistant, Lexxi. Maybe we can work on reading comprehension.

I think though, we all need to be a bit more aware of those around us, and the 'theme' or 'feel' of a sim...

Like Colette said above. Appropriate attire (or lack there of) with one's surroundings.

And it's not even the nudity or piercings that I think go Kurt Russel Overboard...it's the erect penises and BDSM themes that some people seem to think everyone wants to see.

Conservative folks quickly learn that SL is a sprawling environment of liberal ideals and fantasy. This isn't SL fault--this is what most of us love about SL, the freedom. But with this power comes great responsibility Peter....err...

I think we agree. It's a matter of respect. If I wanted to wander around naked, I'd find a place where it was an acceptable thing to do and I wouldn't be imposing on others. I'm just saying in my post that Dakota deserves every bit of the same respect for his or her views as the people who the OP was calling "whorebags". There's a LOT of sex in SL, and it's tough to avoid, so I understand how Dakota could feel that his or her view is being marginalized.

That goes both ways...usually when someone says that, the mental implication is "we all" (the slutty people) need to be a bit more aware of "those around us" (The straight laced prudes).

Many times I've been in SIMs that were designed specifically for free cybering. I message the owners immidiately if I hear griefing of said "cyberers". I don't tolerate a double standard. If im in a genital store nude buying genitals..nude..and someone who is clothed gives me grief over it..i try to exhaust all venues in reporting them to the owner of the store. Unfortuantely Im not afforded the luxury of ARn to LL..or am I?..i mean really. :rolleyes:

I think you could avoid sex if you wanted to-

Its like the internet before search filters and before every subject and company known had its own website.

back in 1998 if you used google for almost any topic you'd get sex things pretty quickly.

But you should be able to through search figure out whether most places you were headed have a sexual theme or not.

Well yes...and no. If a straight-laced prude wandered onto a BDSM sim...no ones going to say, 'hey, take off your clothings and put a gimp suit on.'

we definitely agree..my response was basically...abridged "in a perfect world...in a perfect world".

This is the same issue when it comes down to it as the ad farmers. people not willing or unwilling to excercise mutual respect and eventually LL will have to step in and impose more law.

Absolutely...first thing you could do is turn off 'mature' in search...now, you may lose some pretty cool places...

But honestly, I've found that the majority of cool places are PG.

Goldie Hawn: We did it on the first date?
Kurt Russel: Couldn't call it a date really, we just did it in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven

Because you choose to be "prudish", nobody has a right to judge you at all. You shouldn't be harassed for how you dress, and your point of view is valid and deserves as much respect as the others.

/me giggles at him. It is possible to be prudish and whorish at the same time. It all depends on the way you act and your attitude. Way, way too much fun.

One thing I can't remember if was mentioned in here or not, some sims will state "No nudity allowed" however the same sim will also allow submissives to be in the nude. So this woman may have been a submissive and not allowed to wear clothing.

As far as stilletos go, well I am very short IRL 5' 1" and I do wear them IRL which does not make me a whore. Much easier to reach something on the top shelf at the grocery store. I also never take them off my feet in sl either even if I am in the nude in the privacy of my own bedroom. I just love high heels, I must own over 100 pair. -runs down to the shoe store to buy a few more pair-

..maybe they should. I think one of the main problems of straight laced people who complain and AR others for indecency is their inabilty or refusal to be objective about situations. Maybe if they excperienced a little of their own medicine they would think twice about being so judgemental.

ahh yes, I forgot in Beauty if you are a "Princess" you are not allowed to wear clothing. So all of you prudish people might want to stay out of there.

From a womans point of view ( I can't give lesbian insight) I would imagine they're quite happy with their recipe and don't need Ronald McDonald offering suggestions on how to cook :p ROFL

~Lana Tomba


/me chuckles

You're right Lana - no help required. But what I've found in RL and sometimes in SL too, is that a lot of men seem to think they have "THE GOLDEN MEMBER" and all us gay girls need is a little bit of that to see the light. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

There are some classy lesbian venues in SL which I frequent. I find that I always wonder about the people I'm chatting with; who are they really behind the avi? I mean I know I'm not the only one out there but....

I have a theory though, about the ones who are probably men: Dressed in very revealing attire - what some would call slutty I guess - and skin/clothing/hair that looks kind of thrown together without much thought or investment. I think real women in SL tend to take more interest in the overall look.

Personally, classy and/or provocative go a much longer way with me than that loud, in your face overt sexuality, in RL or SL. Yeech.

Unless I am looking for that of course. :p I just would rather not see it when I'm shopping for hair or a boat or whatever.
