No matter how fantastic and surreal SL is, it turns out that women still have lots more to be concerned about than men. They still have to maintain the front lawn, if you know what I mean.

I am talking specifically about pubic hair. My first skin (A rather nice freebie from the Jane in the Box kit – which is a fantastic resource for newbies, by the way) was like that of a Barbie doll – no nipples or pubes. I don't know about you, but I like my girlie accessories and I wanted them for my Av, too.

To illustrate just how truly unfair things are in life, I found a shop where male Avs can get hairier. Just let it all hang out. Yup – pubes, chest, and legs. Sigh. Because I guess SL isn’t relaxing enough for men -- what with all the SLex, no need for a job or to change your clothing. (Actually, now that I think about it, I should have tried the leg hair on and surprised my Second Life boyfriend – to let him know that I was finally feeling comfortable in our relationship.)

Meantime, while waiting desperately for the newbie time limits to pass so that I could buy Lindens, I browsed and window shopped. I came across a wide variety of options for pubic hair. I found every imaginable shape - hearts, smiley faces, checkerboards, overgrown bushes, Christmas trees, and simple triangles. In every color – blue, blonde, red, pink, brunette, tragic attempts at blonde pubes, etc.

Now, for the life of me, I cannot understand why someone would wear the untended garden style pubes…in RL or SL. I mean, to each his own and all that…but in SL? Where everything, including kitty maintenance, is painless and practically free? Fantastic! Give me a Pink Flamingo shaped snatch then, please!

Considering making a kitty into a flamingo...while wearing my free t-shirt from Bolessa's Bushes.

The absolute instant I was able to buy Lindens for my account, I made a bee line to a skin store with pages of earmarked fashion blog notes in hand. My only goal? To possess a pretty skin with a pretty kitty. And not a bald one either. I am an adult woman and adult woman have pubic hair. I wanted what I have in RL. I call it my ‘Welcome Mat’…although most people in the U.S. call it a ‘landing strip'. I hate that name. It is stupid. I am working everyday to make ‘Welcome Mat’ catch on. See, no one flies in. Not even in Second Life. And usually if someone sees my ‘Welcome Mat’ they are being invited in (…or I am trying to get a discount on a car repair, but I digress…) so,
Welcome Mat makes more sense anyway. Sheesh.

Anyhoo, if you would like to decorate your Avatar’s kitty or twig and berries, here are a few places I found with interesting selections – even some freebies (including the t-shirt I am wearing in the photo with the flamingo above).
