Luncheon 2
Dear Diary,

It is so difficult being a nerd girl in Second Life these days. All these new “mesh” outfits are completely stressful for a chubby, oddly shaped avatar like myself. After being absent from Second Life for a couple of years, I come back and discover the fashion designers (and Linden Labs) have forced this concept of STANDARD SIZES upon us. Sadly I discovered my nerd figure is between two sizes – medium and large. Because of this I had two options when came to clothing: Gain weight or buy a pair of virtual Spanx. I chose the latter.

Luncheon 1

For the first time in my virtual existence, I pushed my squishy body into a set of these virtual torture devices just so I could venture out to a lunch on the lovely sim Leroy. Unfortunately, the Spanx made me feel so constricted and pinched, my desire to eat had left. So instead of enjoying the plethora of tarts and pastries offered to me, I just sat on a stump and stared at them. “Woe is me,” I thought to myself. “Perhaps I should set aside my vanity and just indulge myself in these wonders of dough till I fit perfectly into a large.” But….vanity got the best of me in the end.

Luncheon 3

When I returned home from the lunch I pushed myself out of the Spanx like toothpaste coming out of the tube, threw on a pair of texture shorts and a top, slipped my feet into my favorite plastic prim jellies from Fashionably Dead (circa 2007 or maybe even 2006) and ate an entire box of Twinkies till I could eat no more.  What a perfect ending to a less than perfect day.

Well that’s all I have for now Diary – so take care and wish me a great Second Life.

Work Work Work1
I can’t say today was in my top five of great days: Heard from an ex that did nothing but open a wound that was just starting to heal and attended the memorial service of a co-workers father.  The service was beautiful – unfortunately though it brought to surface some memories of my own parents’ funerals.

So what’s a girl to do? Well, maybe this: Go home, meditate and hold your foster kitties for about an hour and might just start believing there was a point to all this.  Sorry for the emo – but I hate to admit it but I have seen better days than what I had today.

A Real Life Lizzie Lexington

I love it when I find real life references to my second life – whether it be a place also featured in SL or perhaps a fabulous outfit someone is wearing. Lately I have been thinking about my avatar Lizzie Lexington and how she was so unusual for her time. Imagine 2009, the blogs were filled with images of über Super models – tall, sometimes with ginormous breasts and all looking so cool and beautiful. Suddenly on the scene pops up this chubby, glasses wearing avatar with ill-fitting clothes. Boy did I think I was unique…back then!

Okay, I digress…back to real life and the point of the post. So I work in a multi-use complex – offices, apartments and shopping – and because of this I have all sorts of opportunities to people watch. Last Friday, I was taking a break with a co-worker outside the Starbucks and this girl passes by – a real life Lizzie Lexington in fact! After staring at her way too long and probably making her uncomfortable, LOL, a light bulb went off in my head: Why not emulate her outfit in SL!

With task in hand, I set out to style my avatar just like this real life Lizzie Lexington and, boy, was I relentless in getting this done.  So here it is my friends,  this fabulous outfit you see here is the result of my labor of love. Thank you real life Lizzie Lexington – wherever you are!
