Slider hair is for dorks

Posted on September 21, 2006 by

Just got a new ‘do, to replace my super-newb "slider hair" that I’ve been sporting for way too long.  I’ve always wanted white hair actually, although perhaps not with enormous antennae.

More exciting self-portraiture after the jump…

For those who don’t know, "slider hair" is hair created using the default Second Life appearance interface.  It’s fine to get you started and have fun customizing your look.  But after awhile you start feeling like just one spikey-haired freak among other similarly spikey-haired freaks.

This is me, shocked to see how white my hair had become. I’m wearing my new favorite shirt, that says in Arabic "I am not a terrorist."

Having accepted my silver-haired decrepitude, I celebrate with a handstand.

The old man still has it! I look a little like the Hulk here with my green skin.

    Looking good, Rik! Where can I get my hands on that t-shirt?

    I got it at the Burning Life build of Nebulosus Severine. I’m sure she’ll be happy to give you one. Don’t know if I can gift mine or not.

    Thanks, Rik. As an Arab-American (a term that applies to me only in airports, it seems), I really appreciate the sentiment of the shirt.

    When you’re done with the antenna, I’m recruiting you to help me with the caffeine grip and jitter action.

    Hmmm… white hair, bluish skin. Are you suggesting I’m a trend setter? 🙂
