Post 6 Grrrl -- Laura Leandros

[Laura Leandros, my first 'real' Post 6 model, was a little more than eager to take her clothes off for me.  In fact, when I teleported her to the photo site, she came in a bikini, and stripped down before I could even say hello!  She's a sweet gal from the UK who has a lot of energy, and even when we got interrupted by some non-English speakers during the photoshoot, she endured the "buenos ninas" spam with a blush and a laugh.  Thanks again, Laura, for being this week's Post 6 Grrrrrl! -- Delora Starbrook ]

Hi! My name is Laura Leandros and I have been a part of Second Life since I joined in July 2005.
I think I spent my entire first week walking around with my mouth wide open. I was in awe of... well, everything! I caught the creativity bug within a few weeks of joining and started making items to sell. I made my first prim shoe, complete with a moving texture (what was I thinking?) I was so proud of my shoe, I made another and called it a pair. The Shoe Shack was born and I got my first taste of owning an SL business. I used to hide round the corner from my store and jump around with excitement if a customer went in!

Anyway, to cut a long story short... three and a half years later, I am the proud owner of my store, Mojo. I have learned so much during my time here. I have met some of the most talented people and made some fantastic friends, some of whom I have gone on to meet in real life.

It's not always been fun and there have been times that I have quit SL for a few months. But it never lasts. I get the itch to create, go shopping, do rainbow farts with my friends, Whatever! I'm more shy in SL than I am in RL (ridiculous, I know!) and I spend most of my time naked and often bald, hidden up in my skybox working on things.

I am a slave to shopping in SL. I have to make money to fuel my addiction! I have a bad habit of getting overexcited and buying fatpacks of everything without trying demos. If you see me around the grid, say hi! Thanks, Delora, for giving me the chance to pose as a Post 6 Grrrl and for taking such gorgeous photos!

touche Delora. Now those pix are a step in the right direction. i personally never was satisfied with a black bacground and was taught that a single colored background was best used for a model and an object u were hawkin i.e an ad. overall u can add ur lil water when u choose a model who has biven the attention to herself that the lab gave to clouds and water andwhen u light it well. ur gonna do fine :p

Jumpman Lane

oh and make ur lights invisible u tard (totally transparent by that turd torley is wtf i use caws i build my sl on the corpses of mine enemies. square biz).

Alyx Stoklitsky

You'd better not be selling those fucking high heels that turn your feet in paper thin slivers of flesh.

Carmen

Well well the usual mean spirited sad old men making there typical responses for no other reason than to make thier sad lives look better. Just a bunch of no name cyber bullies. Its not Trolling its just plain and simple bullying nothing else. Do you just cut and paste your responses or what?

Delora keep it up Laura well done. Dont let the idiots bother you

Jumpman Lane

@ alix u sniffin glue?
@ carmen see here u flip a dick hooker trick. MY NAME is Jumpman Lane. i as givin that dumb bitch delora a compliment so mind ur fuckin business u stupid ho!

Professor C

@ Jumpman Lane

Hey ... If you didn't notice, Carmen was not referring to you until you started taking shots at people. You know what is sad? You are more of an asshat than I am. You actually said something nice. You could have left it at that plain and simple. But not three minutes after you do so, you act like a douche and start mouthing off.

I have to ask you, why is it you have to take shots and insult people that don't even insult you or are worth insulting.

I insult you because you can't be taken seriously. With all the little cute abbreviations like ur and u then talking like you are a gangster. You make a very decent constructive post. Just a little more effort and a closed mouth and you MIGHT have had several people from this paper actually interested in your magazine. But when you can't even talk straight, who would believe you could assemble a decent product?

Points to you for giving the girl props. She deserves it for the hard work she is doing to better Second Life. It seriously needs it. But if you are going to do that, Don't act like a dick immediately after. You totally discredit yourself.

Now I will be expecting some sort of insulting slandering comment to come following up from you like calling me some rat bitch because you think you got me pinned down. I would rather hope you don't respond out of the hate you have for me and rather read through and understand what I have said. I have been in business longer than you have been on the grid. Since 2004 to be exact. And I have been on the grid since 2003 in the latter part of the year.

Carmen

@ Jumpman Lane, im aware of your user name but it still makes you anonamous as does mine, yes i can find you in sl but still your hiding behind a keyboard as a fictional character. Professor C is quite correct that i was refering to your totaly unnecessary second posting.
Professor C's comment was not insulting or bullying and could be arguably be correct, not that i see the harm in it or the comment.
I would not normally respond to your comments as they usually are so child like with the abreviations i cant actually understand your posts my spelling though not great is at least understandable.

Professor C

@ Professor C

Some anon probably spoofed Jumpman's name and led us to believe he actually posted something decent for once. Wouldn't be the first time.

Jumpman Lane

it was prob u who spoofed meh in that borin ibm article idint read hehehehe. its all freee advertizin :p

Jumpman Lane

hehehehe oh and corsi ur a GAY RAT! u had to invent prof c to even prentend to be taken seriously so fall dead shit ball

Professor C

@ Carmen

Thank you for your good words. And a second thank you for helping give credit to Laura.

@ The other Professor C

Thank you for the Laugh

@ Jumpman Lane

I feel the need to point out about the post on the IBM Article that was under your name the first time, that it was an obvious false name. I mean read it. More than one line and no silly abbreviations. However the second comment talking about 'style' and you having 'No Competitors' is fairly accurate. You have no style or competition. Everyone else is better than you. You don't have to compete with the bottom of the barrel.

Jumpman Lane

prof c
you. are . still. a. gay. rat. corsi. and u recognized the spoof caws u wrote it. motherfuck ibm that is an atrticle i would have skipped. and you know in ur heart u did those weird youtube singin videos. you REALLY wanna yap abpout stlye. see when ya hide behind a wall to lob turds at people in a shit fight. you JUST cant help peekin over the wall...shitface.
