Editing Appearance
So, I end up in this area outside the gates of the SL world. There are some other folks around. I can see their SL names above the heads of their avatars, and most of them are posed with arms and legs outstretched...sort of like the Vitruvian Man...and under their names it says "editing appearance."
I had no idea how to do that. From the toolbar across the top I guessed (successfully) at the editing tab and soon I, too, was a Virtruvian woman editing my appearance. Up came a little box where I could determine the slope of my forehead (back a bit), the puffiness of my eyes (not puffy, thank you), the fullness of my lips (a little less sultry than the City Chic basic and a bit more fitting for a Bible Society, but not pursed either!), and all sorts of options for skin color (I went darker), hair and clothes.
My laptop was having display issues, and as I worked on facial features, I kept seeing a face that looked more like a paper mache head than the skin and features I was editing.
And then some other guy entered the area who was not editing his appearance. I had not moved Voces from the place where she initially landed, and apparently that's where everybody new lands. He landed in my space and as he moved forward, he pushed Voces all the way to the stone wall. "Hey!" I thought, "What are you doing? I'm editing my appearance!" With the strange posture, I thought that made me safe from being shoved around. NOT!
It also didn't keep others from coming over to chat--espeically guys who didn't know that Voces was on her way from City Chic to the Massachusetts Bible Society. They wanted to chat. "I'm from Brazil." "I'm from Italy." "Do you know how to get a job?"
"I'm editing my appearance!!" I did figure out the chat button. You can chat to those close by, shout and be heard by those further away, or IM just to one individual.
But then the display problems on my laptop combined with people pushing me around and not being able to figure out how to move back and the ticking of the clock which indicated the advent of my train home, I quit and decided to do more at home.
