Trapped Inside A Virtual World?


Are we perfect avatars in real life too?  Of course we are.  This is how I look when I log into Second Life.  We're all gorgeous.  I even said that with a straight face!  Wait, or am I already in Second Life, logging into another Second Life....

I came across a quote online that is fascinating; let me know your thoughts.

"Already thousands of years ago philosophers realised that there is no way to prove conclusively that anyone other than oneself has a mind. Indeed, even in the case of other humans, we just assume they have consciousness – we cannot know that for certain. Perhaps I am the only being in the entire universe who feels anything, and all other humans and animals are just mindless robots? Perhaps I am dreaming, and everyone I meet is just a character in my dream? Perhaps I am trapped inside a virtual world, and all the beings I see are merely simulations?

According to current scientific dogma, everything I experience is the result of electrical activity in my brain, and it should therefore be theoretically feasible to simulate an entire virtual world that I could not possibly distinguish from the ‘real’ world. Some brain scientists believe that in the not too distant future, we shall actually do such things. Well, maybe it has already been done – to you? For all you know, the year might be 2216 and you are a bored teenager immersed inside a ‘virtual world’ game that simulates the primitive and exciting world of the early twenty-first century. Once you acknowledge the mere feasibility of this scenario, mathematics leads you to a very scary conclusion: since there is only one real world, whereas the number of potential virtual worlds is infinite, the probability that you happen to inhabit the sole real world is almost zero.”

We Chase The Sun


Can we reach the summit, my head to the sky
My body and spirit are freedom's cry
There are no chains so let me run
For all of my life I will chase the sun
Both you and I we chase the sun

Teacher's Pet aka Grading On A Curve


Here kitty, kitty
You're looking so pretty
But I ain't got time to know
Who's coming tonight
I repeat, complete the equation
You plus me is a sure bet
Don't you know it's good to be the
Teacher's pet

            ~~ Teacher's Pet, Pupil

Roleplay, costume or just a super cute-sexy-anytime outfit by 1313 Mockingbird Lane, this little Teacher's Pet top & skirt are HUNT gifts through the month of October for the Kink or Treat Hunt.  The little thong panties can be worn or not through the accompanying hud, with the cutest bow in back!  Hide the paddles, ladies, or hand them over for use willingly.  ;)  I'm also wearing Patricia Heels by Mosquito's Way, perfect to complete the outfit.  My pose/prop is by Secret Poses, found at Whore Couture until the end of the month.  The desk set also doubles as fun decor.  

Happy shopping!

Redoing My Wardrobe With Brand New Love


So I'm redoing my wardrobe
I've had enough
I'm gonna fill up my closet
With brand new love
Oh, just the ones to hold me tight
A coat that keeps me warm at night
I'm redoing my wardrobe
With brand new love, oh, oh, oh

See, we only get one life, so you gotta do me right
And shouldn't take too much time to figure it out
To get it working, girl, you need to switch it up
And give your love to someone who really cares

Redoing my wardrobe, wardrobe
Redo my wardrobe
I'm redoing my wardrobe, wardrobe
Redo my wardrobe
I'm redoing my wardrobe
With brand new love

You Are Beautiful No Matter What They Say


Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down
Oh no
So don't you bring me down today


To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed
In all your doom, ooh
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
Left the puzzle undone
Ain't that the way it is

You are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
Oh no
You are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
Oh no
So don't you bring me down today

                    ~~ Beautiful, Christina Aguilera

The Dystopian Future Of A Clockwork Orange


I really don't know much about steampunk, aside from watching A Clockwork Orange when much younger (and being nearly emotionally scarred for life).  And!  The fantabulous fashion and decor of Second Life's world of steampunk.  It really is quite amazing.  Steam engine modes of travel into the air, clocks, gears, and rich darker tones and metals, with surprising bold dashes of color.  

Escalated brings us a perfectly themed hairstyle for the Engine Room Event.  She is called Glencora.  The accompanying goggles can be worn or hidden, with texture changes on the style hud.  Usually I texture with the special blondes miniHUD, but have been trying to show you different tones.  This is a combo texturizing with the blonde and red huds.  Get the fatpack and go crazy!  This hairstyle would also be quite lovely for elegant wear sans goggles.

Hit the gachas at The Arcade for Masoom's marvelous outfit called Maeve.  There are different fits and colors.  This ensemble has several pieces that can be worn separately or together.  It would be especially interesting mixing up the pieces with different colors.  (And especially sexy NOT wearing some of the pieces!)

I didn't give you much time to grab Secret Poses' Perfect Click pose set while on sale.  A couple of hours.  Scuffing foot.  Maybe it won't be dismantled until morning, hurry!  ;)  Even if you miss the sale, you'll find lots of wonderful pose sets and getting this one at regular price is well worth it anyway.  Since I'm in a dystopia, my camera isn't ill-fitting for the idea, is it?

Happy shopping!
