Meeting some colorful avatars in Second Life

I did not have the pleasure to meet much really colorful or strangely modelled avatars sofar during my Second Life career, until yesterday evening:

  1. Dear Marcel,

    Thanks for publishing a Second Life picture of me on your blog. I mean the one of the panda bear with the straw hat and the red fighting suit.

    Both my panda bear form and my suit – and more recently my light sword – were gifts by avatar Mindy Runo. Here is a quite stunning and comic picture of her: http://igff.ww4.us/secondlife/Mindy%20Runo.jpg

    I met Mindy Runo a few weeks ago, when I was quite new to SL. I found her cute, stong, funny, intelligent and a very good companion. And so she remained; she has become a very good SL friend. Ever willing to help, even when she sighs with boredom from having to explain the obvious.

    So actually you should publish about her, not me. People – or avatars – like Mindy Runo are the real frontrunners who make SL possible, because they turn it into a place you want to return to. Friendly, strange, creative, exiting and warm, all in one go.

    Kind regards,

    Fay Fargis

  2. Hi Fay,

    Thanks for stopping by here!

    That is one hell of a tribute for Mindy Runo you have written!

    By the way I met Mindy a few days ago wandering around in my house trying to find out more about “that blogger” that published a photo of a certain avatar she knew.

    Greetings,

    Marcel
