WHAT NATALIE DID NEXT......
THE ATTRACTION
I have found that some of us attract different types of people and attention. I once asked Rawly why I attracted some of the people who approached me and he told me quite seriously that he was sure he saw a big sign some place saying “If you’re a total dork, IM Natalie Niven”. I laughed, but I think he might be right, because I just seem to attract the crazies of the grid. Now that my SL is far more settled, I figured I couldn’t live without the mental people, so I went out to find some. Surely I can have the best of both worlds?
I was stopped while out shopping tonight by a few SLIWT readers and they commented on my new look. I have ditched my blonde locks, went to the other extreme and went jet black. A blonde having more fun is a bit overrated, believe me, I know this. People really do assume you are stupid, but that has never really bothered me.
This year I feel I have been pre occupied with dealing with other bits of me and I forgot what I was all about. I forgot about my craziness and how I had this uncanny ability to embrace chaos. I have mentioned before that there is someone very special in my SL now and it was this that got me thinking about if it mattered that my avatar was beautiful. You see, when I first met him, we exchanged a few smart mouthed jokes and then never saw each other’s avatars for 6 months. I did my slife, he did his and yet we still spoke every day. I looked around me while out and about, at all the happy couples and I wondered if they are really in love with each other’s minds or is it just the beautiful pixels?
I decided to experiment on whether avatar appearance attracts different types of people. I know that the tag above your head does because I was in an alt account of mine a few weeks ago and a lady approached me. She was very well dressed and offered me the chance to have a “beautiful” avatar just like hers. She told me she was a famous avatar on her “other” account and that she liked to go into this one to “help” new SL residents become beautiful. All I had to do was deposit $200L to her and I could have a skin like hers. I played with her for about 10mins and then I issued the “Surprise, Guess who my other account is?” She soon climbed down from her “I am famous” soapbox when I called her from Natalie’s account. In exchange for her anonymity she gave me the name of the man who supplies her with the skins. I was very shocked when I looked him up, because he wasn’t an alt and he had some well known models detailed in his picks as BFF. No doubt you will be reading all about it soon.
I thought I’d just change my hair colour to see if it made a difference before making any drastic changes. So off I went, with my new black tresses to see if this would make a difference in my SL.
I discovered that not all people read profiles. I was standing in a hair store last night when I received an IM. It was one of those very random IMs from a person who wanted to tell me I had nice legs. I cammed around to see the person who was that was saying this and couldn’t see anyone. Then I cammed down and sitting at my feet, was what I can only describe as a replica of the dog from The Perishers. I wondered if perhaps he had asked all the female legs in this store if he could lick them or if he had any luck with anyone else when asking if he could insert his muzzle up their skirt. I wondered if it was just me, so I asked him.
He said that for some reason he just thought that I looked like id be up for it and that I had the nicest most lickable legs. Ok now, is it just me, or do some people actually participate in sexual activity with cute SL dogs? He told me that he was doing a "survey" and that my help in this "survey" would help him understand "interspecies survival". He said all I had to do was get naked and let him, well ya know, do what animals do and that this would be part of the survey. I had to decline the chance to part take in such an experiment because we had a conflict of interest on ethics of it and I didn’t see how it was a survey. He saw it as anthropology and I saw it as a pervert looking to have a wank. Well I call it as I see it, there is no point in dressing up that word when the littlest hobo is at your feet telling you he has a big giant cock. There really is something about a cartoon dog, showing you his SL penis (that was a replica of a rl penis btw), in a busy hair shop. I mean I am all for the laughs and the theory that there is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about, but being photographed beside a dog with a hard on, is a bit too much even for me.
Engaging in sexual activity with an animal, cartoon or otherwise is something I can’t get my head around and why someone would want to do it is just plain crazy. I did laugh at the thought of my new guy asking me what I had been up to while he has been away and me saying, “Well this Old English Sheep dog asked me for sex last night in a hair shop, but apart from that nothing much”. I mean how many men in SL get to come home to a woman like me. /me winks, I still got it, Alsatians the lot!
Sadly though, my own experiment didn’t go quite as I planned, as the colouring on my hair made no difference to a species that was eye level with my knees. I ditched my dark locks and went back to being blonde, although I will carry on with this fun experiment.
I looked down my friend list last night and I wondered what I gave to some of the people in the way of friendship and wondered how they perceived me. I picked out a few people who are as nutty as me and realised that certain types of people are just attracted to others who are like them. It’s not because of hair colour and I am convinced there must be something that matches avatars together because we will laugh and behave better if we meet.
I am going to give you all a look into the mind of a very well known avatar, that I love with all my heart. She and I have known each other for a very long time and both of us have a love for experimenting and researching people. We also have a hate for women who aren’t real and who can’t relax in this pixelated world we call our Second Home.
Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce Janey. She the sister of my very good friend and famous SL Photographer Connie Arida (Connie Sec on Flickr). Connie sent me the vid and I totally cracked up. This was a good insight into how lots of us live and spend our time. Thanks Hun.
For all the women who wonder what the other types of women do to pass their time in SL, since we aren’t walking the fashion runways, there ya have it. Thanks Connie and Janey, you summed us up beautifully, and that puts an end to them all saying we arent creative.
