Raw shots from SL – I just cropped them together.

One thing I love about Second Life is that you can be whatever shape you want to be. But I do have my days where I look at my shape and think hmmmmmm… are my hands massive? Are my arms too short? Is my head gibungus? Should I make myself taller? I suck at making shapes myself cuz I don’t think I’m very good with proportions (Mr. Revolution made these beauties for me) so I thought I would give you guys my digits and see how I compare and what everyone thinks is the “norm” (if there is such a thing?) I’m not talking about skinny, fat, big-boobed, big-assed, or even height for that matter. I’m actually just talking about proportions and if mine actually work.

A few things I do like about my shape: I seem to fit well into many different poses, I never have to adjust any Truth hair for my head and all prim nails usually fit me perfectly. So I’m not sure if I actually want to change my shape at all, I’m pretty happy with it. I just want to compare numbers and see what the average is and what people normally lean towards. So if you are willing to share your digits, please do. Leave them in the comments or do your own post about it. I would love to see all the varying avs.

I’m doing it for both of my avs because I always feel like my male av’s hands are really big and I actually recently made them a lot smaller but you guys tell me what you think. I’m just going to share a few of the digits, not everything! :P Here goes…

ManBerry’s digits:
Height – 82 (6’4″ using the Avatar Height Measure)
Head size – 70
Arm length – 54
Hand size – 30
Torso length – 60
Leg length – 54
Foot size – 0

Berry’s digits:
Height – 66 (5’10″ using the Avatar Height Measure)
Head size – 58
Arm length – 75
Hand size – 20
Torso length – 55
Leg length – 56
Foot size – 0
EDIT: A few people also added their T&A digits so I thought I would share those as well.
T&A digits for Berry:
Body fat – 5
Breast size – 54
Hip width – 58
Butt size – 44

(If you share your digits on flickr, feel free to add it to the digits flickr group.)

I know it’s kinda silly of me to stress about my proportions in a virtual world, but it’s also kinda fun to see all the variations we can play with. BTW, if you’re wondering what started all this, I was just looking at the image I did for yesterday’s blog post and felt that my hands just looked MASSIVE in it. So I plurked about it here and the plurkers gave me some great insight into proportions. Thanks guys!

Mr. Hart Larsson shared a few things in my plurk so I really wanted to add them here cuz I thought they were very neat to look at.
Ideal proportion – Male
Ideal proportion – Female
Tutorial – Anatomy & Proportions

EDIT: Vaki Zenovka took all the numbers people shared and found the average and is now giving away the average sized shapes for free FULL PERM. Read her post about it here.

What is Rebake SL you ask? Well it is a neat new project spearheaded by the renown fashionista Celebrity Trollop, along with Ryn Starfall and Elusyve Jewell. These three are the geniuses behind this newsletter. That’s right, it’s a newsletter that gets directly sent to you by email every Thursday highlighting some of the week’s best new content, making it easy to consume, read more if you want to and buy because they provide a direct link to a SLURL in world and/or the SL Marketplace.

It’s great for people like me that like to keep up with the fashion scene but I just don’t get the chance to sit and read the fashion feed or all the wonderful different blogs. Rebake SL gets sent directly to me and I can be updated on the week’s happenings all in one go, within 10 minutes.

I have received each one so far and discovered many great deals. They even highlight some fantastic items available on the SL marketplace.

Happy shopping everyone! <3

Okay, so I know I said I was going to blog a neat new gadget soon but to be honest I haven’t had the chance to get to it yet so I thought I’d throw these up here for now. It’s not every day I can convince Mr. Revolution to pose with me. Normally it takes a lot of begging, pleading and sometimes threatening (although I think he rather enjoys that). But I did convince him to actually change his clothes and sit on the ball quietly for a few minutes. Of course what did he do then? HE WENT AFK! So much for spending some quality photo taking time together. :P

These adorable poses along with many more will be available starting April 1st at the oOo Studio location at Pose Fair. The location to Pose Fair will be announced when it opens on Friday, April 1st. For now you can follow the Pose Fair plurk if you are on plurk and here is the list of vendors that will be participating.

I’m planning to blog more in the next few days so wish me luck that I don’t drown in work! <3

A few months ago I was asked by the editor of Second Style Magazine, Felicity Blumenthal, if I would like to do a guest spot in the March issue. I quickly agreed and was totally excited, but little did I know that I would actually end up on the cover! LOL I was just in shock this morning when I opened up flickr and saw that above image on Felicity’s flickr. Thank you so much! The theme was Military Chic and for all my style credits and more pictures please check out pages 56-63 in the March 2011 issue of Second Style.

But don’t forget to read the whole magazine because you know I am on the COVER (yes I am gonna be obnoxious about this for days to come) and also one of my favorite hair stylists is the Style Icon, Ms. Elikapeka Tiramisu herself. What a great interview, so make sure to check it out!

Thank you Second Style, ily! <3

P.S. Also a big thank you to Mr. Revolution for posing with me and for encouraging me since I was really nervous about this shoot. Thank you <3
