Perfection? Meh.


AN ODE TO MY AVATAR TOES

Dear avatar toes - how I cherish thee.

You may not be perfect, but you’re just fine for me.


You’re tiny and wrinkled like a new born tyke.

And just like snowflakes, no two pairs are alike.


I don’t think that you’re ugly. You’re sort of adorable.

But to hear people talking, you’d think that you’re horrible.


I won’t trade you in for a shiny prim pair!

(Unlike I did for my eyes and my hair.)


In a world where everything’s rezzing and gray,

I’m not sure how anyone sees you anyway.


Do prim toes curl while you’re sharing a pose ball kiss?

If they didn’t, I think it’d be something I’d miss.


Do prim toes go to market? Do they run “Wee!” back home?

Are they loved enough for someone to write them a poem?


You might say I have too much time to sit and to think

Just because I have wondered if prim feet can stink.

:-P



*** If you happen to like sculpted prim feet, please see the humor in this and do not take offense.

  4. Ack! Too much adorable so early in the morning!! Ok, so it's 11:30, whatever. Work with me here.

    I don't mind my regular feet because the painted toes happen to look decent enough on my favorite skin. My Redgrave skin's toes look like they've been crammed into pointy toed shoes for too long. lol But I have gotten used to wearing shoes with prim toes/feet recently, and even made the move into getting the prim bare feet, which I love. I'm going to be doing a tutorial today on WTFug for how to tint the prim feet. :-D

  6. Do prim toes come off if one sucks on them too hard? No particular reason why I am asking.....

  8. Aww! Thanks Anon., Quaintly, Tristan, Cas and Green!

    And Alicia - that tutorial inspires me to maybe, perhaps....eeeeekk!!! try a prim foot? (If I dare someday, I'll just have to be sure to keep them away from Jerremy's mouth.)
