WHAT NATALIE DID NEXT....



RANDOM RAMBLINGS

I won’t be sticking to one subject in this column. I will be swinging randomly to various topics that have arisen this week and have bothered me. The reason I am going to ramble on, is because a lot of you like what I say and you tend to agree with me on most of the stuff. If you don’t, then ask yourself now, what the hell are you reading for?

Sculpted feet- Now that most ladies own a pair of shoes that come with sculpted feet, I want to give you all a tip. It’s probably something you never thought of before, but in the throes of passion some of you forgetting something. I know a lot of girls who would rather cut their fingers of rather than admit they indulge in any of this type of thing, but I also know a lot who try very hard to convince others they are whiter than white. That bull shit doesn’t work here with me. OK picture this, you get all hot and bothered before jumping on the pose balls, clothes get removed in a few quick clicks. You think you are totally hot, but look down...you have no feet, so you don’t look hot. You will all probably be wondering how I know this or how I got to find it out. Well, the boys brought this to my attention and it conjured one of the funniest yet freakiest scenes in my mind. So don’t forget to remove the invisi prims girls!

Alt accounts-I refuse to listen to anyone who says that at no time in their sl was there a need for them to go secretly sneaking about, looking for information about someone or something. Some of you really need to get with the programme before snooping. Most people have visitor counters, they know who is coming and going to their stores or homes. Most people use an Alt to go snooping, however I don’t. I like my name to be on a visitor counter.

Some people in sl are brilliant actors, people don’t realise that. Many assume they know a person and perhaps this person is a bit of an asshole but has chosen to live a nice, quiet, respectable second life. They can’t stir up trouble with a regular sl account because it’s so respectable, so they get an alt and make their drama there. Nothing shocks me and anyone is capable of being a bastard, so you won’t be surprised if I say I had quite a few assholes and bastards ( alt accounts of course) on my visitor counter this week.

Ok super sleuths, listen up. If you are going to make an alt do it right. Tell no one because people love drama and love to talk. Also try and make your alt profile different from your normal sl profile. I saw a couple of alts a few weeks ago that weren’t hard to work out. I mean, sometimes it’s easy to see the person no matter what account they are in.The one I saw was an exact replica of his original avatar and was even wearing the same clothes. If you are reading this please stay the f*** away from the house, stop reading my site and hanging on my every word, it’s pathetic.

Business in sl-Ok, there are a lot of SL business groups. You know, groups for people who think they are going to be hugely successful in SL and they all join together and talk the biggest pile of crap. I am sure someone in one of these groups might actually be trying hard and might actually be serious, but when you’re locked in a room with 800 fruit loops what chance will you have? I have been served subpoenas on note cards in the past, I’m not joking. I have saw business people in SL draw up RL contracts on note cards. I sometimes think it’s kind of like when we were kids and we used to play 'pretend' post office and stuff. I have been tempted to actually ask some of these people if they are serious or just play pretending. I don’t because I am kind of scared of what what I’ll hear, because I know most of them will tell me they are serious.

I am in one or two of these groups. I stay in them because I like to research human behaviour.(Well I am lying a bit, I guess I am just really nosey). I think serious business people, would be better off doing their thing on their own and quit listening to mental people play 'pretend' being SL’s answer to JR Ewing. For example, earlier I saw a person who claims to be a brilliant sl business person, ask in group chat how to give someone a SLurl. I rest my case.

Designing-Saying something enough times doesn’t make it so. I love that phrase and it seems to be something I have lived my sl by. Another favourite is, just because you see it and it looks real, doesn’t make it real. I took a stroll around the quiet, begger-free, shopping Mecca that is SL Xstreet.(for all us old timers, SLexchange) It’s a fascinating place and I now see how a few very uncreative people that I knew in the past suddenly got so creative. I even got a couple of template packs myself and I see how easy it is to colour things in, upload and sell. This means the clothing is mine, I made it but it doesn’t and will never make me a SL fashion designer. I didn’t design anything. It’s kind of like painting by numbers. So anyone who has done this, don’t run about saying you designed anything or someone may end up buying all those templates you bought and making an identical shop.

Profiles-MY IM GETS CAPPED, PLEASE SEND A NC. How many times have you saw this on a sl profile and completely ignored it? If you haven’t, you should because everyone else is sending Notecards so your IM is bound to be seen. (See, people say I am a dumb blonde but I aint ) Well, its seems it is all the rage to put this on your sl profile and most do it because it makes people think they are cool as f*** and popular. I have noticed that at least 90% of the people who have this statement on their sl profile don’t do much in sl and they never seem to log out, so I have no idea how their IM gets capped in the first place. Anyway tip for anyone who has this problem- redirect IM to your email and read it on the wonder of modern technology, the phone.

I got to go log on and check my visitor counter and see who’s been visiting, see you all in world.

Lots of Love
Natalie xx
