From: Arcadia Codesmith I think even the commercialism has its parallels. While there was a lot of spontaneous, free creativity in the '60s, there was also a raft of Madison Avenue types looking for ways to package it and put it on the shelves for mass consumption. That wasn't always a bad thing, but it tended to promote style over substance... Interesting. I always think of the commercialisation of the 60's movements as occuring in the 70's, but as I said, I experienced the 60's kind of second hand. From: Arcadia Codesmith I don't worry about my age. I have two adorable lifemates that routinely make me feel very young indeed  Two? Well that's not fair  No wonder there is no one left for the rest of us. From: Arcadia Codesmith PS - I can no longer listen to Kraftwerk without thinking about Sprockets. Would you like to touch my monkey? Hahahah! OMG! you made me spill tea all over myself! I havent thought of that show for years. Well, as Dieter would say... "Now I am as happy as a little girl!" *dianne pinches the fabric of her shirt at the nipples and pulls it away from her body* |

From: Aliasi Stonebender ... SL is Dr. Hook's "Freaker's Ball" come to life; here you can have a TSO mafioso, a wildly creative scripter, a furry, and an BDSM enthusiast all chatting happily in the same room.
Sometimes they're even the same person. OMG what a lot of old gits we are. If you remember the Freakers Ball you must be ancient as well.  |

From: Liona Clio And I don't think he was necessarily simply "All About the Hedonism, Baby". He did point out a lot of the surrealness of Second Life. It is a world where daydreams can come true...and just because we adults have 'adult' daydreams sometimes doesn't detract from the very real outbursts of beauty in-world. Yeah, he does. But then he goes on to say this: From: someone Sure, Second Life is nothing but architecture and vice. ... and that's where I have my issue. From: Liona Clio And about the Disney as adult fantasies portion...I'm sorry, but you can't tell me the animators of such characters as Ariel, Jasmine, and Esmarelda (the only female character in Disney history to do a poledance) were *accidentally* making these characters sexy. Sex has been a silent part of the Disney empire since Annette Funicello grew breasts on The Mickey Mouse Club. The author is right: kida will perceive things as kids, and adults will perceive things as adults. There's nothing wrong with that, IMHO. Well, there's always Pleasure Island.

From: Eboni Khan "Man, I never paid for any of my dicks. Girls buy them for me."

Welocme to the forums, "next-door neighbor Jack." Afraid I can't help with the 'bits,' but if you need a mullet, give me a ring.
