Not Slutty



It has to happen all the time; I have to find something that isn't slutty. And here it is. This av is lovely. Granted, her clothes are tight, but clothing is "painted on" in SL. Can't help that, really. Here is a lovely outfit on a lovely avatar. No bare midriffs or bums, no neckline plunging below the navel (at which point it must surely cease to be a neckline), nipples completely covered and invisible, classy hair, fancy skin, and she would seem to be in perfect proportion ... if it weren't for the little gnome behind her.

So, let's look at this in depth. Yes, I'm afraid I just can't let a beautiful avatar go by without picking at something.



The wizened creature on the left has a known size: 4'8". It looks as though she comes up to the divine avatar's elbow, which would be short enough, but if you allow for the perspective, you'll see (the vertical yellow bars) that she actually comes up to the other woman's navel. Why she hasn't been shanghai'd to play professional basketball is a mystery.

If the little green imp is 4'8", the goddess must be 7'8", but let's be fair and subtract a bit for the heels ... that should make her 7'2". Now that I look at her feet, they and the hands seem to be a bit small to be on what I would now have to call a "giantess." Or, perhaps, "Barbie." At 7'2", she would be proportionate to a Barbie doll ... well, according to some people, anyway. Others seem to think Barbie would be 6' tall and anorexic.

Rethinking the hands and feet (from memories of my own Barbie), the slightly smaller size would be about right. This woman is lucky to be in SL, where she can find clothes to fit her ... and men tall enough to date her, because she'd be at a loss here in RL.
