Equipping yourself if you are a girl
Staff Writers20 February 2008, 7:20 PM
It's easier to get some hot lurrrving if you're a girl in Second Life - your body comes fully equipped.
Do not scroll beyond this point unless you are over 18 and will not be offended by images of a sexual nature.
If you're a girl looking for romance you don't need any attachments, unlike the men. However, if you want extra realism, you may want to refurbish your basic avatar's body with new parts.
The basic avatar shape and skin is enough for a girl to indulge in romance. Regardless, most women in Second Life upgrade their appearance with new (free or premium) "skins," which are pre-packaged looks that include more finely wrought body components.
One example of a new skin - a package that turns the wearer into a "porn star."
Some skins pay particular attention to realistic-looking genitals.
But Second Life is mostly a haven for girl's clothes. There are thousands of stores selling women's fashions, far outnumbering those selling men's gear.
