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!

Shopping 2
“I am exhausted,” Lizzie thought to herself as she sat down at the table outside her local Starbucks. “I guess I could order a latte,” she mumbled to herself.   “Surely that would get me going.” Suddenly an idea popped into Lizzie’s head. “I know what will wake me up and pronto…shopping!”
Shopping 1
“I need a shopping injection and STAT,” she exclaimed as she bolted through the doors of Mon Tissu  - shopping R&R always does the trick for Lizzie.  So after a few hours of blissfully thumbing through the racks of Mon Tissu, Lizzie left the store refreshed and ready for the day. YAY!

Street Dancer 2
It was a sunny day, not too hot but just hot enough to go sleeveless. Lizzie was exceptionally bored as she strolled through streets when suddenly she spied to most fabulous karaoke machine; and in no time flat, the Karaoke machine was hers!

Of course the combination of Lizzie and a karaoke machine is a dangerous combination:  So there she stood in the middle of the street singing at the top of her lungs. She could have cared less about who was staring at her or how many traffic accidents she could potentially cause – LOL.
Street Dancer 3After about an hour or so of this, she finally got tired and stopped to take a break (well not exactly a break but more like she wasn’t singing quite as loudly).  She walked over to a nice shady spot and stood there, quietly bopping her head to the music.
Street Dancer 1Of course, the hyperactive person Lizzie is, she couldn’t stay quiet for long. So after a few minutes of rest, Lizzie bolted from the shady spot and ran to the middle of the street, dancing her little heart out.  It was simply a wonderful day!

Going for a Walk 2

Lizzie was walking about one fine sunny day, the streets of Tableau filled with shoppers and browsers. With a smile on her face, she looked around at the people milling about around her – people watching really was her favorite pastime it seems.  Suddenly her attentions were drawn by the sound of two women shouting in the middle of the street. She stopped and looked at them curiously as the argument grew more heated and animated. Peering at the two women she focused her attentions on one woman in particular, a dark-haired woman, whose visage tugged at some back corner of her memory.  After a few moments, the woman looked directly at Lizzie and began to point in her direction. “YOU!” she yelled, “It was YOU!” The dark-haired woman then bolted away from the other woman she was arguing with and began to make her way towards where Lizzie stood.

Going for a walk 1

Midway during her trek, a crowd surrounded the dark-haired woman and began to laugh.  In between their laughs various phrases were uttered such as “Not this again.” and  “really you think we are going to believe your crap and drama again?” and “So…once again you try to play the victim card, what a joke.”  Standing just outside the group were a couple other women looking at the dark-haired woman – looks of pity on their faces.  They didn’t join in on the laughter but instead yelled out apparently to the woman,”JUST BE NORMAL, THIS TIME.”  

Cocking her head, Lizzie scanned the crowd for a few moments, taking in the scene unfolding in front of her.  Eventually she focused once again on the dark-haired woman, trying her best to place where she knew her.  With a shake of her head and a shrug of her shoulders, Lizzie turns away from the crowd and walked off, the smile once again returning to her face. “Whoever she is it doesn’t matter to me anymore, obviously,”Lizzie said to herself as she walked on.  “But whatever she did to make that group angry, I hope she learned from it and is now a better person for it.”  The nerd girl had much better things to do that day then worry about the past.  THE END.

My Name Is Lizzie 1
Once upon a time in a virtual world far, far away, there lived a nerd girl by the name of Lizzie Lexington. Not many remember her name these days or know anything about her past blog, but she still occupies a big space in her typist’s heart. Her blog was either loved or hated, her journeys and fashion sense a bit offbeat but at her core Lizzie was simply a story teller. While all the other bloggers took their time to impeccably style their pretty little avatars, Lizzie looked like a frumpy, hot mess that had no sense of color coordination what so ever. She spoke in third person for the most part and boy, did that bring about some negative reactions. At least once a month she would get at least one comment calling her blog creepy for her third person speak. But little did her typist know that this style was her actually her entry into the world of role play which ultimately added so much to her virtual life.

My Name is Lizzie Lexington 2
Yes, it was obvious, the girl was a bit of a drama queen at times and lacked a filter for her thoughts, but she really never meant to hurt anyone – well not too much LOL. From purposely poking at Tenshi Vielle of Shopping Cart Disco to talking a bit too much about a couple of the crazy women of the fashion world, Lizzie made a name for herself in second life fashion for a brief period of time for both her style and gossip sense. Her attempts of making light of second life dramas, the exaggerated stories and her efforts at caricaturing certain well-known figures in SL often came across in the wrong way to some readers and she got some real flack for it!  Really, most of her entries were meant to be a sarcastic essay on the ridiculousness of Second Life dramas, but more often than not, she was the only one who got the joke.  Oh my dear, dear readers (all three of you), I must admit Lizzie was her own best friend and her own worst enemy all at the same time.

Alas, those days are now gone and Lizzie is now merely a distant memory in a few people’s minds – but definitely not for her typist. Even though her typist shows a lot of self-restraint these days, parts of Lizzie still exist inside her. She was her typist’s muse and inspiration to look at Second Life from a different perspective. In all honesty, her typist misses Lizzie and longs for her quirkiness to be a part of her blog. So maybe, just maybe, she will bring Lizzie back to the blogosphere, albeit in much kinder and gentler form…well, perhaps LOL.
