I can, here in SL, and here's how: * Those gawd-awful talking bellies. Spare me please, I really don't care to be spammed by your belly, put it on "mom only" please! YES, that's wierd and creepy! * I asked an acquaintance, who was an SL pole dancer and paid rent, etc that way - and then got pregnant, "have you saved up in advance for this, because you won't be able to pole dance with the large pregnant belly?" The answer? "Oh no, that's not a problem, when I go dance I just remove the belly and then put it back on afterwards." YES, that's weird and creepy! * Asked this same acquaintance, after the "birth" when she was carrying around the SPAMMING prim baby, "is there a place offering 'babysitting' if you and your partner want to go out dancing or something?" The answer? Oh no, that's not a problem, when we want to go somewhere or get tired of dealing with the baby, I just put it in inventory and then bring it out again later." YES, that's weird and creepy!  Maybe someone needs to start an SL Child Welfare Agency._____________________

My husband and I were talking about this a while back. If you got tired of being one av, and wanted to put an end to them so as to have a new main account, why not have an SL funeral. We have weddings, and presumably baptisms/naming ceremonies for some of the prim babes at least!, so why not a funeral. You could make a will and pass all your transfer items to an executor to distribute after the funeral. And you could be there for the reading of the will; all you need is an urn shaped av to put on after the curtains have closed. Then it's off with the old, and on with the new. I like this idea; I'm off to set up the first SL funeral home! Yes, you can have a funeral - with a coffin. You "lay" (sit) in the coffin in a suitable death pose. The lid shuts on click. Coffin is moved by script down conveyor belt in virtual crematorium. Once behind curtains you log-off for the last time, leaving your SL friends to build a nice memorial to you. _____________________

Waaaaaaaay to creepy for me. dealing with death is strictly a RL scene for me.  _____________________

Didn't St Augustine already weigh in on the question of whether unbaptized prim babies have UUIDs? Well thank you Miss Tombola, you made me spout all my lovely Earl Grey on the desk...  And if all kids were as nice as Mari, I'd surely have adopted one already! You rock, kid! |

I'd pay more to a stripper with a prim pregnancy belly than a non pregnant stripper (even though I don't bother with SL strippers or whores).
I support single moms! _____________________

p.s. I love the idea of an SL funeral home! Then we could have SL graveyards with the names of our dearly departed avatars carved on the tombstones... just think, a whole new business section could pop up of tombstone and crypt builders. I already sell personalised tombstones. I added them for vampires to have their own and quite a few of my orders have been for RL memorials for departed loved ones On topic, I hated being pregant so wouldn't want to do it again in SL. I can understand though how some, especially if you can't have kids, would want to RP it. _____________________

If we have Avatar Pregnancies, I'm sure some of them eventually become unwanted. Do we have an Avatar Abortion Clinic?? Maybe with some protesters standing outside, all typing insults at the women coming in! i was workin on that last nite, my friend told me i might have gone too far tho... it is very graphic animation / particle effect / baby thing..... when i finish it, i will slap it up on slexchange for yall to see _____________________
InSL u find every kind of no-life retard you could possibly imagine as well as a few even Tim Burton couldnt imagine u find 12yr-olds claiming to be 40 men claiming 2 be women, women claiming 2 make sense and every1 claiming 2 have ideas that are actually worth a damn if only someone would just listen to their unique innovative and exceptionally important idea

The whole thing is bizarre and under no circumstances would I want to be pregnant in SL.
Someone near where I live has one and it looks like a cabbage patch doll. She was trying to get it adopted (read sold) for L1,700 because she worked during the day and when I suggested putting it in her inventory whilst she was offline, screamed, called me a bitch and told me to leave her house lol. I guess some people find it difficult to separate online and reality. |

Ok, new slant on this.
The baby (prim) is born. How long does "it" stay prim? Lets assume you could still have a prim toddler at the Terrible Twos stage: that would be easy enough, just model it on the average griefer (same mental age and behaviour). But.. the prim grows to, say 8 or 9 years old, the age of an average SL child avatar. So now you need a RL person - over 18 - to become the account holder of YOUR SL child. Who you gonna trust to "operate" your offspring and keep 'em from harm? A complete stranger? Hm. This is tricky. Be better to get one of your own kids (or a friend's) to be your child's account holder. So now, you have to open up SL to all ages, because are you REALLY gonna trust an adult stranger to be your SL kid? OR - you could, at this point, "kill" your prim child as you are bored with its "follow you around and nag for its favourite TV programme" script, and you want some RL unpredictability. At this point you then persuade your most-trusted SL friend to adopt a child avatar and become your child for the few months it will take to grow into a teenager (while you remain ageless of course), and you can shovel it off towards Teen SL. Hmm. Needs more research. Excuse me while I go off and refill my tequila... |

I don't wanna be pregnant in RL and also not in SL, but I've seen quite a few "talking tummies" basically I find them annoying but hey....if you want to...why not? Mandy C SL can make for some interesting conversations... On a similar line of "talking tummies" - I didn't know about "bits." I'm at my SL job one evening and I see a line in my chat about someone's nipple saying something. I blinked...read it...read it again...then said (basically thinking out loud and still dumbfounded).."I've never heard of a talking nipple." Brought the house down. <------ naive |
