Well… I was feeling blue today, and not feeling much of anything. So I decided to try and shrug it off, I put on some cute boots and a frilly little top and decided to make my way through the crowds at Maitreya. First attempt failed!! the sim was full. I didn’t get discouraged I kept trucking through finally, after a few more fruitless attmepts I made my way onto the sim. I fought the crowds and lag making my way over to the hair, all I can say is it was well worth the effort! Then I did what any fashion diva does after achieving perfection in hair form. I took pics! I hope you enjoy!

Here are my twenty or more questions. I’m a pretty laid back person, but I’m not afraid to tell it like it is. My RL and SL are an open book. So we sat down the other night and thought up of a few ways to kick off this site, these questions seemed the best way to introduce ourselves. So here I am world! 
Second Life
Do you still have a newbie pic? ~Nope, those along with my soft porn pictures were deleted long ago. I did not need that shit following me around in case I ever partner a second life senator or something!
What brought you to Second Life? ~ Pure unadulterated boredom! I found myself playing a few computer games, which brought my google search to Second Life, curiosity got the best of me. With my first purchase of shoes and hair, I was hooked!
How much time do you spend on SL a day or week? ~ I find myself spending most of my free time in world. Sometimes that’s a lot, other times it’s not enough. It also depends on who’s in world at the time, and what events are going on. I try not to miss anything important.. or any sales for that mater!
What reason in your RL drives you to be addicted to SL? ~ Addicted?… I would not say I was addicted per say… I can stop any time I want to!… I think.. no I can’t… who am I kidding… “Hello.. my name is Ariana.. and I’m a Second Life-Aholic”
What do your family and friends think of SL? ~ I don’t think they are aware of Second Life to be honest. Or maybe I’m mistaken and they all have altered identities and are hanging out in all the crazy, orgy, bdsm places!
What’s the most important thing you’ve blown off RL to go into SL for? ~ Probably my RL birthday. I remember last year saying, “Honey.. instead of a birthday present, you can just buy me some Lindens and spend them in world” I guess it was better then RL birthday cake, at least that doesn’t go straight to my ass.
What will you do when there is no more SL? ~I don’t feel the point in answering this question… there will never be an end to second life… “you hear me Lindens!?!”
Fashion
Who’s your favorite clothing designer? ~ Honestly my interests change from day to day. Sometimes I log on, and want to dress a certain way, the next day I want to look totally different. For now my favorite designers would have to be Tuli, Dela and of course ETD. However I am always trying to scout out undiscovered, and the not so well know talent.
Who is your favorite shoe designer? ~This goes along with my favorite clothing designer, but for now it’s Maitreya.
Who is your favorite hair designer? ~ This one is too hard.. as many of my close friends know, i’m addicted to hair.. picking a favorite hair designer would be like a mother having to pick her favorite child, it absolutely cannot be done.
What is your favorite assesory, and why? ~ My face light. When it all boils down to it, you can have the best hair, the best skin, the best shape, the best shoes, the best clothing. If you’re looking like you have five oclock shadow you look like shit no matter what you do. I got mine from Chris Crash (FaceFX Designer V1.3) Get it, you will not be sorry.
What is your take on sculptie shoes and hair? ~ I love them, unless for some reason the Lindens decide to be cruel and not have them rez properly. Nothing like TPing in, and having your head look like a soccer ball. Other then that I cannot believe how far some of the sculptie creators have come. Kudo’s to them!
How much Linden do you spend a week on clothes? ~ My spending varies quite a bit. Some weeks I spend 10K others maybe 2-5. It all depends on my mood, and which designer has the next best thing. Oh.. and of course if there’s a sale going on.
What is the most you’ve ever spent on one outfit or pair of shoes? ~ I think the most i’ve spend on an outfit was $1,500.00 L. I have no idea what posessed me to do this, I must have really loved the outfit. I normally won’t spend over 700L on one single item.
Lucky chairs and hunts, good or bad? ~ Good! I think the freebies allow me to sample the designer, see what it looks like on my body. Also to see if the designer used photoshop to enhance the picture on the sales floor. Nothing bugs me more then that. I hate dishing out 500L for this absolutely adorable outfit, only to find out that it was chopped up and put back together for the show room floor.
Which do you hate the most, no copy, no trans or no mod? ~ No mod for sure! Lets face it *looks down* I have an ass, and I’m damned proud of that ass! Nothing pisses a girl off more then when there’s some random prim sticking out of your ass and there’s nothing you can do about it!
Relationships
Which Sex and the City character(s) do you best relate to? ~ That’s a harder one, I don’t think it’s one particular character, I see a lot of Samantha, and Charlotte. Possibly even Samantha in my Second Life.. and Charlotte in my first?
How many times have you been partnered in SL? ~ None! I can’t seem to find a man who will put up with my shit. Then again, I can’t find a man who I want to put up with my shit either. Second life’s men have a lot to offer, I don’t think I want to limit myself to just one!
What is your take on SL kids, do you have any or want any? ~ I once thought about having some random man knock me up in world. I went down to the materinty clinic, was looking at the prim bellies and the prim babies. I looked down at my stomach and thought about it long and hard. I even played with my shape.. that’s when I knew that having a SL baby was not for me.. Not only could I not find a prim baby that didn’t freak me out.. but all my favorite desingers have yet to make a maternity line! When ETD comes out with a maternity line I can live with.. THEN and only then will I think about having a SL baby again!
In SL relashionship (and friendships) what bugs you? ie. clingy, needy, afk, etc. ~ all of the above! I cannot stand clingy, or needy. I have my life, and you have yours. I have no problems with a good solid strong relationship/friendship, however you should be able to go out and have a good time on your own!
How did the SL man of your dreams sweep you off your feet? if you’ve not yet been swept, then how do you wish for this to happen? ~ HA! Sweep me off my feet? please… If I wanted a man to sweep anything, it would be my floors! I’m very happy not being in a SL relationship right now, there are WAY to many fish in the sea.. and i’m feeling like sushi! Even though I don’t REALLY eat fish lol!
Do you have SL sex, and if so does it turn you on? ~ Yes, and YES! do I really need to sit here and explain why? However if you do find yourself lucky enough to be tangled up in my sheets, don’t expect a pose ball to instantly turn you into Don Juan, I’m sure you can find numberous ways to stimulate me…I mean my mind 
What’s your favorite sexual position (pose)? ~ again with the favorites? How can I pick just one? I love doggie, there’s a few special tricks that this position allows me to do!
Xcite bits, love them or hate them? why? ~ This goes along with the pose balls, yes they are a great visual.. but if your biggest second life sexual achievment is xcite parts… then please pass me by! No ammount of “clicking” is going to get the job done boys!

Here are my 20 or so questions…..
Second Life
Do you still have a newbie pic? Yep for sure I do. I have a lot of them. I remember when I thought 350L for hair was outrageous. But I had one from Pazazz and one from Calla, and a noob skin that I thought was pretty awesome. The rest of my stuff I used to get from lucky chairs. This dress was from a Panjen lucky chair.
annmarie_noob
What brought you to Second Life?
I had a project for work that my boss had recommended it for – so I had to get up to speed so I knew what I was talking about. I didn’t want to do it… in fact I was pretty vocal about it. So I logged in on a Friday night, didn’t sleep at all that weekend, and have logged in pretty much every day since.
How much time do you spend on SL a day or week?
About 6 hours a day on weekdays, at least 12 on weekends.
What reason in your RL drives you to be addicted to SL?
I think there are 2 reasons. I’m a creative a heart, and my RL job no longer allows me to be as creative as I’d like, so building is a lot of fun for me. The other is because I’m not that outgoing in RL. SL makes it easy for me to socialize and make friends.
What do your family and friends think of SL?
They think I am crazy, and are pretty much ready to do an intervention.
What’s the most important thing you’ve blow off RL to go into SL for?
Work. lol
What will you do when there is no more SL?
Whatever the ‘next’ big thing is I suppose. Key difference is that no matter where I end up, this place has given me things I will have for the rest of my life – my hunneh bunneh for one.
Fashion
Who’s your favorite clothing designer?
Omg, just one? /me ponders… well, I have more Pixeldolls than anything else in my inventory, so Nephilaine Protagonist is probably it. Though I have many new designers who I love like Fishy Strawberry and Elate!
Who is your favorite shoe designer?
Storm Schmooze – wait no Redgrave – wait no Shiny Things… aw hell. I love them all.
Who is your favorite hair designer?
Since Jes said we can’t all say ETD, then I gotta say Maitreya.
What is your favorite assesory, and why?
My wedding ring because Max made it for me himself.
annmarie_weddingring
What is your take on sculptie shoes and hair?
Its funny – I don’t usually buy non-sculptie shoes anymore, but sometimes Max will take photos of me because my hair or shoes don’t rez and I look ridiculous and end up changing. But I love meh scuwpty shoos.
How much Linden do you spend a week on clothes?
I don’t spend too much because I’m in a few freebie groups and I’m addicted to hunts, but I do end up buying stuff along the way. I’d say I average a few thousand Linden a week.
What is the most you’ve ever spent on one outfit or pair of shoes?
I dun remenmba. But it was a lot.
Lucky chairs and hunts, good or bad?
BAD BAD BAD. Why? Because I am hooked. Max gets so annoyed at me because he’s busy working on a script, going ‘wow, look what I did!’ and I’m trying on pumpkin hats and slippers. I love the hunts, but they take a lot of time, clog up my inventory and take a lot of time to go through. But gosh do I get some good stuff. Plus lots of times its how I find new designers… so, oh well. Can I change my answer to good???
Which do you hate the most, no copy, no trans or no mod?
Well, I love mod, and I love trans. I could give up copy for trans in a heartbeat.
Relationships
Which Sex and the City character(s) do you best relate to?
I have no idea. Just ask Jes, I don’t watch TV. But I have seen it a couple of times… I used to be the slutty girl, now I’m the married one (except my husband RAWKS).
Are you in a RL relationship, and if so how is it affected by SL? and/or how is SL affected by your RL relationship?
My SL partner is now my RL partner. But it wasn’t always that way. I think it’s very hard, if not impossible to be in a SL relationship and not have it impact your RL relationship. I definitely think it’s cheating – for me anyway. I can’t speak for anyone else. If my RL relationship led me to seek a partner in SL, well then, something was wrong in RL.
How many times have you been partnered in SL?
Just once. I married Max on June 29th of this year.
What is your take on SL kids, do you have any or want any?
Same as in RL. I’m allergic.
In SL relationship (and friendships) what bugs you? ie. clingy, needy, afk, etc.
I guess same as RL – I’m not too keen on dishonesty. I’d prefer someone tell me to buzz off then disappear and create an alt… and not worry about how other people feel when they disappear. The person behind the avatar is a person, and has feelings. In many cases, feelings can even surpass RL.
How did the SL man of your dreams sweep you off your feet? if you’ve not yet been swept, then how do you wish for this to happen?
I met my partner at a wedding. We were inseparable ever since. We decided to meet RL in Paris in July – so when he proposed in SL, of course I said yes. He built me the Eiffel tower for the ceremony, the one that’s the center of Paris New York now. So yeah, we married on the Eiffel Tower and then had our RL honeymoon in Paris. ^^
Do you have SL sex, and if so does it turn you on?
Well, our poseballs don’t get nearly as much use since we went RL.
What’s your favorite sexual position (pose)?
Anything made by happy dispatch.
Xcite bits, love them or hate them? why?
Don’t love ‘em. Don’t hate ‘em. Just don’t need ‘em =)

The 4 of us sat down today and were brainstorming a way to kick off the site. How to introduce ourselves…blah blah blah
We came up with 20 or so questions to help fill in the background.
Our goal is to keep this site fairly transparent and as true to ourselves, SL and RL, as possible. All those taboo topics and questions you know your thinking but wouldn’t dare to say…yup that’s gonna be here.
Second Life
Do you still have a newbie pic? Yes…but not oh so newbie, some things just aren’t meant to be rehashed.
What brought you to Second Life? My boyfriend, at the time - late ‘06, introduced me to SL. He was trying to keep me busy and distracted from our sexless relationship. It didn’t work and hence he’s now an ex.
How much time do you spend on SL a day or week? Too much! I’d really hate to admit that, it’s an every night kinda thing.
What reason in your RL drives you to be addicted to SL? It’s actually kinda funny because I’m super social and love being out and about, but I think Second Life feeds my need for social environment and my lazy bug of being able to do it in my pj’s.
What do your family and friends think of SL? To them its one of those things that sounds cool, but they don’t quite get it. All they know is it must be really important or work related because I don’t seem to have any time for them.
What’s the most important thing you’ve blown off in RL to log in SL for? I can’t think of anything major. But I’ve been known to use SL as a reliable procrastination tool.
What will you do when there is no more SL? What??? Is this some sort of rumor that SL is going down?? Shut up, you’re kidding…..right?
Fashion
Who’s your favorite clothing designer? Right this second it’s Elate! I honestly bought her entire store in two days. Her dresses are absolutely fabulous in a….”I’m running out the door and need to find something to throw on that matches these shoes” kinda way.
Who is your favorite shoe designer? Ok this is a loaded questions, I’m a total shoe whore and damn proud of it. For the neko in me, I <3 my Fifferling Boomer Boots. For the slut in me I love Maitreya Slinky Stilettos. And for the funky in me I’m diggin’ Canimal’s Boneyard releases.
Who is your favorite hair designer? Hmmmm…my collection of wigs would need their own closet. I own over half of ETD easy! But right now my current obsession is House of Heart and mix matching the bangs around.
What is your favorite accessory, and why? This is going to sound kinda stupid. But my all time favorite accessory is this cute little robot necklace from Fuel, he has pink eyes *grins* Pink and Geek, what more could I ask for?
What is your take on sculptie shoes and hair? Sculptie hair and shoes are the bomb as long as they’re made well and rez. Otherwise you have a head of mess and balls with no chains attached to your feet (just not as sexy).
How much Linden do you spend a week on clothes? Waaaaay too much. And more then I’m willing to admit here. Think I can write it off as a medical expense? For the love of god I shop or DIE!
What is the most you’ve ever spent on one outfit or pair of shoes? The most I’ve ever spent on anything was a X2 skin back in the day, admittedly a damn fine purchase at the time.
Lucky chairs and hunts, good or bad? Lucky chairs are good as long as you’re at a good store. And shame on those designers who put their defects in the lucky chairs - I got my eye on you. And I’m typically too lazy for hunts, but on an off day they’re fun.
Which do you hate the most, no copy, no trans or no mod? No Mod! I have a big head and a big ass, modify rights is a MUST!
Relationships
Which Sex and the City character(s) do you best relate to? Carrie w/ a large dose of Samantha. I’m endlessly looking for that perfect man, where is my Big? I’m horrible at relationships and I’m not ashamed to admit that. Commitment freaks me out. And I have an inner slut in me that sneaks out on as many occasions as she can.
Are you in a RL relationship, and if so how is it affected by SL? and/or how is SL affected by your RL relationship? NOPE. I’m convinced all the good men are taken. All my life I looked up to my father as the “perfect man”, until recently I found out even he has his faults. I still love’m to death, but obviously “the one” just doesn’t exist for me. In the meantime I’ll just have some fun. *shitgrin*
How many times have you been partnered in SL? Oi. 5 or 6. It’s no longer on my to do list.
What is your take on SL kids, do you have any or want any? Been there and done all that. Greedy little monsters. I don’t like kids in RL, I have no idea why I thought it would be any different in Second Life.
In SL relashionship (and friendships) what bugs you? ie. clingy, needy, afk, etc. All of the above. I can’t stand people who cling too much, but at the same time it’s annoying when you develop a close connection with someone and one day they just poof.
How did the SL man of your dreams sweep you off your feet? if you’ve not yet been swept, then how do you wish for this to happen? I’ve not yet been swept. And I honestly have no idea how that would happen exactly, if at all EVA.
Do you have SL sex, and if so does it turn you on? Yes. and Yes. What’s it to ya? No more info needed.
What’s your favorite sexual position (pose)? RL or SL? Well either way it’s the same one. Wanna guess? I’ll give you a hint……..darn can’t think of one.
Xcite bits, love them or hate them? why? Hate them. I’m much more for role-play or text based encounters. Clicking on bits and reading them spam chat is not a turn on. Hell some of the hottest experiences for me weren’t even on pose balls, just standing or sitting there and conversing in chat. A man that knows how to excite my brain and my body is so much more enticing then the “others”. others = the general population.
