I do have a girlie alt - just for research purposes, and to get some time alone when I want to. I did not use it for a long while (oh well, I did not get to SL almost at all in the past couple of months), but I think it might be fun to record the experiences "from the other side" here. So, I decided to pimp my alt with new goodies.....
This reminded me of what the hoops the women have to go through, just to go through the ordinary life situations, that men do not even think of..
I've a nice red dress, but only blach shoes with thick heels, which do not fit this dress at all. Damn! Ok, an attack on the shop, and I have a pair of wonderful shoes with ao as well. Fantastic - so do I do something with my skin now, or not ?
It looks too dark, and not so many details... Ok, decided, let's go and buy the new one and pimp up the looks.
The owner of the shop is very helpful, and together we select some skin, among the cheaper ones - just L800, but it seems to fit.
Ok, now that I have all the goodies, definitely more suitable underwear is needed. Attack the other shop. They all fight very rigorously, leaving the wounds of 300L to 700L at a time.. Good thing that Dalien would not let me down in this battle - so a couple of switchovers to do some money transfers, and I am back in business.
Whoooof. I think I am done, so I can return back and try out all the new things.
Now that I have all these clothes, shoes, underwear, skins, and even one shape - which I eventually did not like at all - I need to organize the mess. So the nice hierarchical tree is growing, and absorbs most of the wardrobe. Cool. Now I can find everything. Maybe... Where did I put that skirt again - was it in "suits", or "dresses" ? Time to create another folder "Skirts"
After a couple of hours of fiddling, everything is in order.
Everything looks great, the only thing I notice... The old skin... looks... much... better.... A-a-a-a-a! So-o-o-me-e-e-one! He-e-e-elp me-e-e-e!
The voice in the background: And do not forget, for *every* event you go to, you have to pick up the appropriate style of clothing, jewelry, and make a proper make-up. Otherwise it's cheating.
All right. Let's keep the cheap skin. I like it much better - and I have to like myself for a starter, right ? Yes, and I promise to make a reasonable effort to dress accordingly, and all.
...To be continued...
