After two years wearing the same shape, I finally decided it was time to reflect on my image all the inner changes I have gone through during this whole year. For many months I have adopted carrot as my hair colour… and that is totally me, so it will stay. As for the rest, I’ve been working on it, a little bit each day.
I am not too sure whether the subjacent idea is getting closer to my own FL shape, still deciding if that is the way to go. But no doubt, I chose a much more realistic approach.
First of all, I finally realised I didn’t want to height about 2m in my secondlife. If you look to new-residents shapes well… you may not like it, and they make you feel like you’re just another figure among the dozen thousands users. But look again. They are balanced. And they’re not huge, they display a reasonable height. All things considered, I decided to shrink to some 1,70m something. That was about 20 cm at least less than I had, and gives you a totally different perspective of the world and people around you.
Obviously, when you shrink like that, there are a few other factors you better pay attention. Like… you also have to shrink your head. Find a new balance between your torso and legs. Check on the size of your hands. And most probably, you will need to resize your breast as well, so you are able to walk around on your straight spine ahahaha. At least I felt I had to do it.
Keep in mind… changing your size will have an impact on hairs, for instance. With this new me, I started appreciated those hair designers who make their products available in different sizes – or with a re-sizing script. I know designers produce their items on their own shape. But it is certainly a value-add when some of them makes an effort to make their costumers’ life easier. For instance, I got totally disappointed when I realised ETD’s hair almost don’t shrink… how can that possibly be ??
Oh well.. let’s proceed.
Now that I had this whole new body with which I felt totally comfortable and that reflects this normal me person, I turned my attention to my face. Corrected some of the features I really wasn’t mad about, on my eyes, mouth, neck and chin. Then, I decided I wanted to get over the prototype of the blue-eyed red-haired, and gave myself a pair of… plain brown eyes, AH! Actually not as dark as my FL eyes, these are more of a chocolate tone and were lost in my inventory. I am actively looking for a definitive pair, since these are not of a great quality, but since I wasn’t able to find this exact tone anywhere, I’ll stick to them for the moment. Open to suggestions where to look for something very similar… only better, hehehe
Then, wit all this, I got rid of my earlier Nyte’n’Day skins. Sorry, that has nothing to do with me. The Vogue ones, I left them in my inventory for now but I just know I’ll not wear them much… maybe if they had better eyebrows. Thus, I’m being totally loyal to Cupcakes and this Afrodite skin that has this most natural look.
Finally… feet. Well, maybe because I was used to be tall and have small feet, now I find my feet are huge. But then again, it may be me, who in FL have tiny feet as well. I’m sure one of these days I’ll be able to see me in shoes and think my feet look great, hehehe.
Had loads of fun… and feeling this is still a work in progress. Curious, huh ? I think we tend to stuck with a shape once we feel happy with it. And yet, it was really important for me to change, for I felt that image was no longer me.
Now, I only need to change my surname to be a happy happy girl, hehehe… have been looking at some new ones, hehehe. And one of them is Delicioso, oh gosh – it means delishious in portuguese and I jsut wonder who in the goddess name would want such a surname And yet, I already saw some of them around ahahahaha!
NOTE – post to be updated with a couple of pictures and slurls later on.
