[Note from Justine- This week it is with great pleasure I bring you one of the great fashionistas of Second Life, Celebrity Trollop. Celebrity is the owner and publisher of Second Style Magazine and Second Style Fashionista Blog, two of the most widely read publications in Second Life - that also makes her my boss, so I hope this goes well! Celebrity has forgotten more about SL photography than I've yet to learn, so I doubly appreciate that she took the time to model for a noob like me!]
Sometimes one just has to take a break from work and have a little fun, right? All work and no play makes Jane a dull avatar. I was both surprised and flattered to be one of the Second Life Herald's famous Post 6 Grrrls. It's definitely one of the high achievements that any resident could hope for. I just hope that in my role as this week's Post 6 Grrrl that I can save baby seals, end global warming and stop that cheesy gunk from snack chips accumulating on one's finger. It's a tall order, I know, but I feel confident that my fellow residents will support all of these efforts. Together I know we can do it!
OK, now that's out of the way, I was definitely surprised by the offer to be here, but at the same time, sometimes you just have to say, "Why the hell not?" Besides, if Six Kennedy can be a Post Six Girl, so can I, darn it!
And if not, well, I can always go back to my skybox and work. I'd like to give a shout out to my favorite Second Lifers -- my Amicitian neighbors and the whole Second Style staff -- especially moo, Lana, Pushbutton, Haedon, Iris, Scarlet, Roslin, HeatherDawn, Justine and the rest of you crazies.

Joke: What's the Grid coming to when the Post 6 Grrrl, especially one named "Trollop", isn't showing her nipples and "kitty".
I like the new direction in the Post 6 Grrrl photoshoots. However we need details on the hair/skin/clothes!

Well now Celebrity looks smoking hot in that Corset!

Celebrity is a guy, people. Check out her 'voiceovers' on her blog. Totally computer enhanced. She's a DUDE.

Could somebody point out these "voiceovers"? I can't seem to find them, would say I'm having a blonde moment but I'm a redhead so go figure.

Hah, thats no suprise. These days I automatically assume any female AV I see in SL is a guy, unless its someone I know personally.
Posted by: The Todd | August 25, 2007 at 05:38 PM
The Todd, I don't think that would be a good assumption to make in SL. SL is different from EQ or WoW and has different demographics including more female players. Most of the female avatars in SL have female drivers.
But does it truly matter who is behind the avatar? Not really. When I was a noob, Celebrity answered noob inquiries with knowledge and respect. And even now I'm still a fan and respect her greatly. She deserves that from others as well.
Posted by: CronoCloud Creeggan | August 26, 2007 at 12:19 AM
Thank you CronoCloud for saying that so well.
Celebrity is kind. She is generous with her time, her energy and her money in-world. The avatar "Celebrity Trollop" is not only clearly female, she is a gorgeous female with style and grace. I don't know Celebrity's typist, or the typist of any of of my other in-world friends. I only know that if we've become friends in-world, their avatars are nice people to spend time with, regardless of in-world or real life gender.
What else matters?
Posted by: Justine Babii | August 26, 2007 at 02:50 AM
Lovely photos, Justine and Celebrity. Very classy, which is something I always like to see.
Posted by: Gillian | August 26, 2007 at 01:57 PM
Why is it that 90% of all femme avs have lips like Angelina Jolie?
On a totally unrelated note:
Why do some people put sweaters on poodles?
Things that make you say "hmmmmm..."
Posted by: Second Lulz Vigilante | August 26, 2007 at 07:49 PM
Celebrity has answered silly, n00bish questions from me and has done so with a real attitude of generosity and intelligence.
She is the definition of classy and real.
Kudos on picking such an awesome Post 6 Grrrl!
PS - Yes, actual fashion info would be great :0).

One of SL's prettiest avatars. :)

Don't you mean Post 6 ManGrrrl?
Posted by: Observer | August 26, 2007 at 09:32 PM
Congrats, Celeb :) Celeb is one of the nicest people I've met in SL and I couldn't respect her more, male or female.

@Gillian
Although this is OT, I agree with you. Another term that can be used to describe it is "fish lips". :-) I tried to find a shape and skin that had lips that looked more like RL but they all look like Angelina Jolie's lips. But maybe if avatar lips didn't look like Angelina Jolie's, they'd look more like Emma Thompson's. :-)

I heard the herald can make or break you.
Posted by: Juanita Laquita | August 27, 2007 at 09:34 AM
I don't care what gender Celebrity's typist is, but I'd like to know where she bought her clothes.
Posted by: Chav Paderborn | August 27, 2007 at 12:57 PM
I didn't make the comment about fish lips. "Second Lulz Vigilante" did. I am not he/she/they.
Posted by: Gillian | August 27, 2007 at 03:00 PM
I am sorry, this is the second previously well-known avatar to pose for this piece and not shed her clothing as was required of almost every Post 6 Gurl before.
I think it is a slap in the face to each of those previous models that were required to show more skin. Justine has done a wonderful job in her photography skills, but totally lacks the understanding and history of this piece.
Can't wait until Marilyn returns, so that Post 6 can get back on track.

"I didn't make the comment about fish lips. "Second Lulz Vigilante" did. I am not he/she/they."
he/she/they?
To quote one of my favorite movies, "And I am the Devil. Now kindly undo these straps!" :p

Sexy pics! People can be so mean for no reason, jealously maybe?
Posted by: Nina A | August 28, 2007 at 07:41 AM
Well, I met Celebrity in person at SLCC, and if I'd have known she was wearing that red corset underneath, I might have bought her a few more drinks
Posted by: Gideon Television | August 28, 2007 at 05:21 PM
Well, if you did, you certainly would have found a nice surprise under that corset. Then again, you probably would have enjoyed that.

"Another term that can be used to describe it is "fish lips". :-) I tried to find a shape and skin that had lips that looked more like RL but they all look like Angelina Jolie's lips."
The lips placement on skin is determined by the avatar UV map and so unless the skin maker is trying something funny, they should cover identically sized area no matter what skin you try. Thus the size should be about entirely up to shape sliders, so you may want to play with these..?

Celebrity Trollop is one gorgeous av...I've met her several times and she clearly is a standout among other avs. And I gotta say, pretty pics Justine...if these are pics taken by a noob then I better get back to OI and figure out what I missed. Bottom line, Post Sixx is about putting yourself out there...taking a risk and offering yourself up for critique... in my book anyone who does it deserves a pat on the back and a hearty WTG Girl! Kudos Celebrity...beautiful av and beautiful person :)
