I've reached that point in my life when my appearance is no longer tied to my sense of self-worth (ain't middle age great!? Took me years to get this comfortable with my body, but here I am...and even mostly well-adjusted, too!). That said, why on earth would I want my Second Life avatar to look exactly like me? Part of the fun of SL is trying something different. Yes, my avatar and I share some features, but just a few. Creating a different image of beauty is plain old, ordinary fun!
