Controversy

Within Second Life there's always going to be some form of drama, controversy or whatever. (See the most recent SL secrets as proof!)

Because of this it can be incredibly difficult to portray what you're not without causing someone offence. For example, this beautiful saree warrants, in my opinion, Eastern jewellery.
I would love to wear a bindi, jhoomer or a matha-patti but because I'm so afraid of treading on people's toes I'm too reluctant to experiment,
I don't know all the connotations and background of each piece and it's not nice to have to worry about being criticised if I did choose to wear them.

I could do research and I could ask more knowledgeable friends for advice but I don't want to detract from the fun of blogging and the fun of putting an outfit together that I feel comfortable in.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising or chastising people for having pride in their heritage and knowledge, I'm just asking for lenience. I'm also not picking on people of Eastern heritage, it's just gorgeous saree I picked to blog!

Thankfully not many people read my blog so hopefully I won't cause too much offence by voicing my opinion.

All I'm trying to say is that people need to really lighten up. It's a virtual world and we just want to play dress-up!!

Oh, sure. People who tell you where to go and how to dress.

That's better than here. You're always scraping for food and ducking the guards.

You're not free to make your own choices.

Sometimes you feel so...

You're just...

...trapped.

- Jasmine and Aladdin, Aladdin

I wanted to have a more intimate pose for Aladdin and Jasmine however couldn't find someone to pair up with me so I did it alone!

Aladdin is my favourite film, I always felt that I was that diamond in the rough...

The end of summer is that kind of "mid-season" where it's till warm but the weather is perfectly crap. I found these lovely Wellys at Duh! as usual at a lovely cheap price and teamed it with my nice summer gear before it gets relegated to the back of my wardrobe!
