I Thought The Michelin Tireman Was A MAN?

Okay, I'm lost here. I thought the tire man was a... man! Yeah yeah yeah, so this isn't exactly a puffy white tire monster, but it's close. When did you see walking tires last?

Maybe it was the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man she was trying to imitate because she had HUGE breasts. Maybe not as big as I have seen t hem so far, but big enough to seem almost square in size.

And the BLING! Ladies, ladies, ladies.... No one needs THAT much bling! It was coming out from everywhere! Her.. feet, her ears, her chest, her hair, it was a mess! And while on the subject of feet, her shoes, when she did finally walk away, looked like they were melting into the floor! What is up with that?

It wasn't until she turned and walked away that the full extent of the mess she'd made of her outfit and shape came into full view. Or back view. It was another one of those "I have no clue how she did that" type situations. Because her bottom also was square. BIG and square-ish. I've seen some big bottoms that looked okay. Maybe because they knew how to model it. Anyone with a big bottom will have big thighs, or at least thighs that start big and smooth down. It's the way the shape works. To have two... thin legs coming out of a big bottom just looks... Well, it looked like she was a wrestler getting ready for a match. Maybe that was why she was there. Looking for a mask. No idea, but she needed help, that was clear. I hope she found it.

First "Thumbs Up" or The Bee Lady

This is my first "Thumbs Up" post. I don't want to just show those things that are funny or pathetic or horrifying, I want to also show things that are interesting and sometimes even really neat. On those, I'll call them my "Thumbs Up" posts. And unlike the ones where I pixelate the eyes to hide identities, though sometimes I don't see how that will matter, these people have nothing to be ashamed of and therefor they will be shown as I saw them so you too can get the full effect.

I was standing around, looking at hair, when I noticed a bee fly by me. Looking around I saw this lady.

She had these interesting prim bees flying around her, circling her.

No matter where she went, or how she moved, they moved with her.

Even standing still they were there. Some may not have cared, or kept looking, but since my logo for AmberMyst Botanical Designs is a bee, I kept looking.

Then I noticed where they were coming from. A very interesting flower wrist band she was wearing. What I found most interesting was that they were not particle bees, but rather prim bees.

As she walked away, and the bees went with her, I was glad I'd had a chance to take the photos. I had only wished I'd had time to check out where she got the wrist band from.

Face Lights -- When is enough enough?

I don't like face lights that are so strong you can't see anything but the person wearing the light. There are lights that take all the light away from everyone around them, and they are the only ones that can be seen. It is amazingly rude to be standing somewhere, say like in photo 1, trying on hair, when suddenly the lights go out. You can't see anything, not even your own face.

This is one example of that and how rude people can be. Honestly, does she really think that we are going to marvel over just how bright her outfit is? How much her face light shows off her body? And the big rods floating around her, doesn't she think for a moment that when she's rezing somewhere and those show up as grey blobs, that people are going to know she's got huge bars following her to try to make her look better?

Personally I do use a face light. But I designed it myself. It is soft, and only shows up my face in darkness. In daylight you can't tell the difference. I use it mostly so I can see myself at night, see where I am going when at a spot that has no real good outdoor lighting. Those types of lights I can understand. But these... these bars are just overkill. I'm so glad that there is now a video by Torley telling us all how to turn them off!

What the "ladies" are wearing to the Lucky Chairs these days

Lucky Chair Attire, originally uploaded by Tiea Aeon.

Well! I know I haven't posted in a few days, I've been sick. But I wanted to get something up, something that when I saw it, I almost fainted from shock!

This lady was standing between two lucky chairs, in the middle of a huge store just staring at them, half naked. Okay, honestly, more then half naked, almost all naked! I don't know what shocked me more. The fact that she had so little clothes on in a hugely public place, or that she didn't seem to care. Does her dictionary not include the "M"s?

I can only hope that once she got her free hair, she went and got her some free clothes. I know a few good lucky chairs if she needs help. ;)

I've never seen eyes like this before!

Night before last, I heard of a group gift that was worth checking out. So I popped on over to their shop and was watching some people unpacking and changing in the middle of the room, when someone walked in with this lovely dark chocolate brown skin. She looked cute, and I was watching her rez when suddenly I noticed these white things under her eyes. I waited for her to finish rezing, then looked again. But they were still there. When I cammed in I was shocked! Prim eyes!

Being in-world over a year I had never seen them before. I asked around to a few of my lists and found out that they are mostly used for specialty items. Glowing effect and such. I could understand that. But this? This had no excuse. I could tell by the way she dressed that she knew how to edit clothing to fit. So why not her eyes? Maybe she needed glasses on top of everything else?

Welcome!

Welcome to "It takes all kinds to make Second Life" or "What where they thinking?!" ;)

I have seen the FUG blog, and it's very good, but I think that there can be so much more said about people in Second Life. So I decided to start up my own "fug" type of blog, but not with just "Oh my word you have to be on drugs" type of photos, though you will see them. But also some "Isn't that neat" or "I'd never have thought" or even "Well, that sure does look like a ___".

In my travels, I have run into some very interesting people. And some not in a good way. But there are those that work hard on their avatar, not just to get in some fashion blog, or make an impression on someone else, but just for the fun of it.

Those are all the types that I will have here. From the pond scum ugly avatars that you just KNOW they had to be doing it on purpose or were on drugs, to the ones you marvel at when you see them in a crowd, wondering how in the world they had time or imagination to work on something like that.

So, with all that being said, here is the first one.

This one is one I couldn't believe when I saw it! I thought for SURE he had to be a noob! The hair! The boots! The.... underware? But nope! This man dressed like this on PURPOSE! Oh to shame! Well, at least he was trying to get some hair during ETD's sale! Maybe next someone will show him how to get to a men's clothing store, ANY men's clothing store!
