Aimee’s Bloomers
by Alphaville Herald on 30/08/05 at 1:14 pm
That guy Mark Wallace is at it again, this time in the pages of The Escapist, where it seems he’s managed to write an entire article about Aimee Weber’s panties.
You might not be able to hold Aimee’s panties in your hand (as much as you might like to), but that’s not the point. You’re not buying them because you want to wear them in the real world. You’re buying them because they add something to the character you’re guiding through the online world
Well, maybe not an entire article, but you know what we mean.

Not only can you not hold them, but you can’t sniff them either. When are the damn Lindens going to get to work on the click ‘n sniff technology???

Ugh. I’m really disappointed in you, Walker. I think you’ve really gone bottom-feeding on this one, literally. First of all, there are lingerie makers these days in SL with way higher traffic on their stores than Aimee. She’s very coy about her sales, and with good reason, because if she gave the figures it would be an embarrassment. I can’t believe you behaved like the dozens of lazy journalists walked through this story by Lindens with an agenda, and featured Aimee just because she was “there”. Well, I’ll have to get busy with a counter article now!
The hilarious thing is that most of the males you’re appealing to with this panties stuff are not only drooling over seeing then on their SL girlfriends, they’re wearing them themselves in SL on their female avatars. It’s that kind of place.
I guess you’ve arrived as a glib and facile journalist, Walker. And here I was expecting great things of you.

I think I recognize some of her virtual panties from Taco Rubio’s upskirt museum.

Great article Mark. One of the best pieces I have read to date on the nature of “virtual” economies.
Prokofy, you really need to stop trying to control everything around you.
Nobody wants you to be their own personal Jesus.
It’s not healthy. Especially your freakish obsession with Aimee Weber. You’re probably taking days and weeks off your life with all this blood pressure raising crowing about her, others you hate, and what everyone else is doing.

Oy is right, Torley! Thanks for pointing out, fixed now.
And thanks for your IM as well

Giving my opinion about an article that I think was glib and kinda sleezy isn’t “controlling everything.” Like I try to control somebody who writes for the New York Times? lol That leftist blog I read at 1:00 a.m. cuz I won’t pay dollars for it lol. Nah, you don’t get it. You’re the one trying to control everyone with all your net nanny stuff.
As for Aimee, it’s very important that someone always be there, every time there is an Aimee alert, to point out that she’s not all that, and that the Lindens and their chosen scribes are just being lazy about really researching this world.
You know what’s really hilarious? Aimee has me banned from Midnight City so I can’t even buy her undies even if I wanted them lol. As if!

Image springs to mind of prok dancing around with his/her “Bridget Jones” panties on in front of a mirror.
“Are you talking to me?”
twirl…
“Are you talking to me?”

Oh, and far from being the “best pieces we’ve seen on virtual economies,” it is facile and glib. And Walker, I’m sorry but the piece about Blue in the Times even didn’t ask the most BASIC questions to try to get the most basic answers like: HOW MUCH TIER DO YOU PAY AND HOW MUCH INCOME DO YOU NET AFTER YOU PAY TIER? Honestly, I’m sorry, but this has to be said.

Your own personal Prokky
Someone you can know will be there,
Someone who cares
You own person Prokky
Someone who can rant about your prayers
Someone who’s there…

The hilarious thing is Prokofy opening the door to more gender-bending jokes, jibes and pokes from the SL community at large.
First in line! Take that, biotches!
