Alicia's Assignment

Working in my new business office, the HQ for Girl Wonder Industries.

I think I may be in the minority, but I really do like meme's. I like them first because they let me share a bit of myself with you, and second make me think in ways I normally do not. Third they let me learn about you when you answer them yourselves.

So, when Alicia Chenaux taunted (just kidding!) fellow bloggers for not posting often enough (She is currently blogging at a rate of 2.47 posts per day), I put her in charge of giving us a meme. A meme to me as a blogger is the mental equivalent of rebaking your textures. So, Alicia gave us the Friday Five. Below is my attempt at answering them.

1. If you could do one thing in SL, what would you do? I am already doing such kewl things in SL - modeling for an amazing agency (Dream) and getting to write for SLNN/SLCN. But if I could take on more, I would love to run a little in-world consulting business where I guide RL companies in their use of SL - starting with getting everyone who needs to be in-world up to speed. I'd help those people and their companies to learn the SL-culture. I'd work with their RL superiors and investors, etc. in order to set expectations, explain strategies, goals, etc. I'd eventually have some in-world employees to help out. Hmmm. Those are the seeds of a business plan...I'd better get busy.

Hey!! News! I set up a business office!!! (That is me in my office in the pics at the top of this post.) It is at the Cybertopia Shopping Centre. I call it the Girl Wonder Industries HQ. It is where I will conduct interviews for my blog and SLNN/SLCN, get some writing done, take blog pictures, host business meetings, etc. Jerremy is going to have an office upstairs from me. He owns Darwin Properties - a SL rental company. So, now we can commute to work and then go home at the end of the day (almost as adorable as putting your avatar into pajamas and then into bed before logging off for the night).

2. If you could be anyone else in SL for a day, who would it be and why? I actually really like being me. And except for trading Babyhoney Bailey (Miss SL Universe, 12 Avatars) places every time she wins fabulous prizes in a beauty pageant, I would stay me. As dizzy as I am, as terrible a walker as I am, paying as much in tier fees as I do, I would stay me.

3. If you could change one thing in SL, what would it be? Nope. Can't choose just one. Sorry. Nine is my final offer.
1) You would be able to get hundred of avatars, all dressed to the nines, in one place at a time without a single bit of lag. This would be great for parties, clubs, sales, fashion shows, Primtionary games, concerts, orgies, etc.

2) All prim allowances would be tripled.
3) There would be twice as many ways to manipulate prims. This would make it easier to make any shape you wish. Like, say, a roof for a bay window.

4) Inventories would be a gazillion times easier to manage, clean organize, back-up, etc.

5) System skirts would not balloon out and make your bottom look humongous. They would be sleek and fits your av's curves perfectly. Why is someone working on Windlight and not this issue?

6) There would be some way to move your avatar like a puppet - you could put hands, head and legs where you wanted easily. But this would require all SL users to grow extra sets of arms in RL, I think. But still, totally worth it.

7) You would have twice as many attachment points on your avatar. No more choosing between antlers and earrings at Christmas time. And while we are at it, you would also be able to wear two items on each clothing layer.

8) There would be a much broader and cuter range of facial emotes available for your avatar.

9) Pose balls would be able to automatically detect where the features of your avatar are in relation to avatars on corresponding pose balls and adjust automatically. No more french kissing someone's eyeball.

4. If you could hop on a naughty poseball with one person of the same sex, who would it be? WOW....I still do not have any girl crushes (I guess I am really picky as pretend lesbians go.). But I did recently pose for a SexGen ad for girl-girl beds and hot tubs, and I got paid to make out with a very sexy woman named Becca. So maybe it is just a case of been there, done that?

5. If you could hop on a naughty poseball with one person of the opposite sex, who would it be? Just my Darling Jerremy, who is my Official SL BF® (Gawd, I need to send in the warranty card. Don't let me forget.) He did the official asking and then he pinned me. After I made him let me back up, I said sure and we went out to share a soda.

Oh! Guess what he did for V-Day? He filled our garden with rose petals and bouquets of roses!! It was gorgeous. And then he showed me the new pose ball sets he got for us. And right now you perverts can get your minds out of the gutter, because the pose balls are for walking!!!! I just sit on one and it lets us walk holding hands, with him carrying me piggyback or with our arms around each other ...and I do not have to do anything!!!! He runs the animation! It solves my walking problem!! At least when I am with him and we are doing things that require standing. And walking.

Well. I have used up my allotment of exclamation points for the day, so I must wrap this post up. I am certain Alicia did not expect anyone to write an entire novel for her Friday 5 questions.

Now, please go answer these questions on your own blogs or in Alicia's comments. Or in my comments. I do not care if you have a blog or not - I would still love to read your answers to these queries. Think of it as a chance to rebake your mind.
