In the first of a quarterly series, our virtual reporter
Cherrie Nitely gives us the lowdown on what’s rockin’ in Second Life.
Well I’ve gone ahead and made the move – to Second Life that is. Yes girls, Cherrie is in the virtual house and I’ll be giving you quarterly updates on my adventures.
For the uninitiated, Second Life is an online environment where you can live out your fantasies in a sprawling social network setting.
As for all newbies moving into a new neighbourhood, it’s important to get your bearings, but for me that meant immediately changing my outfit and spreading the good Cherrie word. Yup folks, I made my own Cherrie t-shirt, bought myself some cool pants and off I went into the big wide world. Now let’s face it, if you’re new in town, you want to know where the grrls are, right? So I did a quick search for ‘lesbian’ and after wading through the numerous free sex rooms and lesbian porn areas I finally made it to The L Word’s space on Second Life. Let me just say that if you’re an L Word aficionado, this is the place for you.
The sprawling L Word universe is lovingly recreated with fine detail. You can sip a coffee in The Planet, dance in the L Word club or listen to informative talks on sex toys. When I first arrived it was very quiet, but me being the social butterfly I am, I managed to take someone’s cherry within the first half hour of talking to them. Yes, I met a Second Life virgin and was happy to help her out. Together we mourned the loss of Carmen from the show, pole danced, posed next to a billboard-sized poster of Alice and had a general blast getting to know each other. Not only that, but some random stranger gifted me free clothes, shoes and sex positions…yes, free sex poses. Clearly Second Life has a whole lot going for it that I am yet to discover!
Second Life seems like a truly bizarre place to be. The surreality of it continued for me when I found out that the first person I spoke to was in the same country as me and of the same Scottish heritage. Yes, it’s a small world, even virtually speaking, yet this place has so much to offer. Before I speak to you next time I intend to have had sex in an S&M club, given a home to a pet, joined a few queer chick groups and perhaps even got someone to let me rent a bed from them in their flash pad at the beach. Ahh, who needs reality when you can live your Second Life with so much fun? Till next time!
