The Sweet Spot

 One problem we all have in Second Life is, What is there besides "hooking up". Lots. But it also involves finding the right friend. This is Petra ... I met Petra in Naked Harbour where she was demonstrating  the incredible Cigar Jet Ski . Diving in Da Vinci Scuba equipment here .

[09:26:48] Kano Tamale: you define the arts very broad, I am more into the fine arts and yes performance art is a new genre but where to draw the line ? before you know it, you might end up with celebrities in a half nude pose [09:27:09] (You): yes I know it's broad [09:27:15] (You): thank you for noticing that [09:27:31] (You): I don't draw a line at all [09:27:47] (You): on some level a tree is "knowingly" creating its beauty [09:27:56] (You): but that's a leap I know [09:28:31] (You): I learn a lot from nature - I am just giving credit where credit is due [09:28:49] (You): it's worthwhile to just *see* it that way [09:28:57] Kano Tamale: like the Japanese do [09:29:06] (You): flowers are putting on a show for the bees [09:29:34] (You): I *am* listening to what you say - fine arts ... [09:29:40] (You): ballet? [09:29:51] (You): how about architecture? [09:30:14] Kano Tamale: is sure an applied art form [09:30:19] Kano Tamale: In my humble opinion ... [09:30:...

Here is a great podcast by Natalie Winn that digs deep into this subject. What I have to say is much less interesting. Take time to watch the video. OK but a warning. Much of what I say will make no sense if you skipped the video. Second Life opens up a lot of choices about gender. The thing that some people take 10 years to get is that the choices are about presentation . If you think that a man is somehow "dishonest" by presenting as a woman and demand voice verification, ask yourself why you are not willing to provide a full nude rl picture of yourself in your profile. Not just your cock. You are being "dishonest" by presenting yourself as someone anyone would be interested in fucking. It's useful to see this particular form of prejudice in action in second life. Some (cis-) man is attracted to a female avatar and wants to know if "she" (meaning the person at the keyboard) is a "real" (cis-) woman.  So the question Natalie Winn (the Yout...

  While enjoying a quiet shower in Naked Harbour, I decided it was time for a change. Typically, that insight lead to hours of sorting through outfits. Just as in real life, your look can get gradually sloppy. A mess of different shapes and skins. Dozens of outfits that you never wear ... http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Naked%20Harbour/133/37/23

A calm moment for a chat with a good friend.  

Sally Green returns top Second Life.  

This is the garden in my lovely Second Life home. I'm starting this blog to save some of the special moments and perhaps find a place to show people what I figure out. I also want to show you stuff that is a bit too "adult" for Flikr, but if you want to check out my Flikr site, knock yourself out . One of the most profound questions in life is kinda turned into a cartoon version in Second Life and that is, "why Second Life". Why the first one you may ask? In fact this is a practical question for a certain old lady (102) that we discuss regularly. But let me return to Second Life and how it provides a possible answer, or, if you will, a better question. For one thing, I must note that it took me 10 years to come to understanding the question, let alone the answer. And the answer is, for me at least, Second Life is performance art . People perform and make art of all kinds for many reasons. I don't want to over-think it. But Second Life was originally created ...
