Multi.Colored—tattooed people, tattoo dreams

My daughter enticed me into Second Life a couple weeks ago, to watch the Phoenix Mars landing. I thought the idea of watching a real Mars landing from a virtual Mars landscape sounded interesting, so I signed up.

However, she talked me into it close enough to the time the festivities were supposed to start, that I had
no time to go through all the orientation “lands” that are offered only to brand-new newcomers. I didn’t realize I couldn’t get back there until it was too late.

So I apparently missed out on a lot of interesting freebies that are offered there, and have thus spent some time looking for other neat free stuff so I don’t look like a total newbie. (I must say that I have met some terrific people there who have given me lots of neat stuff, and I definitely do not look as new as I really am–but you know you can’t rely on the kindness of stranger forever.)

One of the places I found is called The Free Dove, and in it you can get all kinds of… free stuff. Clothing and skin and jewelry and shoes and… well, you get the idea. One of the signs on the virtual tables in the virtual store said “Tattoos,” but darn if I can find them.

Of course, since I have been given a turtleneck sweater with long sleeves and I’m wearing jeans, I don’t know what I would do with a virtual tattoo anyway. I suppose before I figure that out, I better go find me a skimpier outfit.

Are you in Second Life? Want to say hello to each other there?
