Putting square pegs in round holes is a hobby of mine.
The virtual offers such a wide range of tools for a person to express themselves. Must be one of the reasons it is so popular. Where else can you meet a feral furry, and blood doll at the same event? I like to think that my actual personality comes out through my avatar. There is no sense in hiding that part of myself. Three areas that I really get to express myself in Second Life is through music, fashion, and photography.
I DJ in world. I know about half of you just rolled your pretty mesh eyes at that statement...I mean who ISN'T a DJ in Second Life? Stay with me. Back in the glorious 80's, and early 90's, I was the one DJing those illegal raves. I was also the one passing out that good X from the 80's too, but that is another story. My mind works in a strange way, and it is why I started working with the Abelton Suite early on. I see musical notes in colors inside my brain. This makes the chore of mash ups much easier for someone like me. When I hear it, I can see what might fit. I will sit in my little studio and put it together, and if I can't get it just right...I pull out a guitar, keyboard, or drum machine to make it work. Sampling and Midi Controllers are a beautiful thing. If I can shove the Beastie Boys and Ray Charles together into something danceable, it was a good day.
Fashion is a mash up in my eyes. Designers work hard to put out an ensemble that works together, or an accessory that is geared to a certain gender. I don't see those guidelines. If I see something I like...by damn I am going to buy it and figure out how to make it work. I don't have fancy software to tell me if something goes together well. I do have photography that I can express my fashion choices. Love it, hate it, or indifference...you will still look. It is my expression, freedom, and my choice. ♥
