Myf McMahon — Post 6 Grrrrrl
by justine on 02/05/08 at 8:19 pm
[Note from Justine- Myf McMahon has been patiently waiting her turn on the Post 6 list a while now, but I'll let her tell you about that. It never ceases to amaze me how many fun and interesting people there are to talk to in world, and this week I'm pleased to introduce one of them- Myf McMahon, this week's Post 6 Model].
I knew it would come to this, just knew it. After first talking with Justine weeks ago, after she said she could use me for a post six, you’d have thought I might have done some sort of preparation, put some consideration into what I might say, what I might use this opportune platform for. But ohhh no, I did what I usually do; I procrastinated, ignored the ever approaching deadline until it was too late. The follow up IM arrived. Justine contacted me, told me I’d reached the top of the list. And so here I sit; the hours grow short and I’m left with no time to make my essentially boring self worthy of your attention, be it kudos or a kicking.
Look, honestly, bluntly, I’m nobody special. Just another member of the unending crowd, joined in just over a year ago, part of the wave that began in early ’07. Most of my social interactions focus around Sanctuary Rock, the place and the people. I dance there, sometimes host there. Most of my friends in SL can be found there. I don’t blog, but I’ve done a couple of photo essays. I’ve posted these on a couple of non-SL fora I frequent, my own little attempt to counteract the "SL is all shopping malls and sex clubs" meme (and yes, the irony of saying that in a post six isn’t lost on me thank you very much). I build stuff when mood and inspiration strike, sell these trinkets in my store. My crap’s not of interest to everybody though, so I’m not gonna shill it here (anymore than I have done). If you’re care enough to look, you care enough to profile perv me to find my store.
As for my avie, honestly I just wanted to remain somewhat true to myself. I’m not tall, I have boobs that only just fill an A cup. After shaving off some poundage and toning up the flab, it didn’t occur to me to fix other aspects. Besides, by the time I was seriously customizing my look, I’d been around the grid long enough to know leggy, busty supermodel types are everywhere. Being a little different became a badge.
So that’s me, that’s Myf McMahon done and dusted. Over to you great unwashed, let the slings and arrows begin!

you may be part of the SAME shorter crowd that seems to inhabit SL and believe me there are just as many short people as there are long legged super tittied chick. You wont go anywhere with an un-apportioned body. What is with all these women who insist on having ITTY bitty hands? And the same OMG i’m different I’m short attitude. Honestly…Theres no difference. Just please fix your itty bitty hands. No one looks right with itty bitty hands. Just pisses me off.

I’m loving the different coloured eyes – very Bowie.
Your approach seems very hostile, though. Are you like this on the Grid, or is this just a defense mechanism against the vitriol you assume will pour in? After reading this – I like your looks, but I’m not sure if anyone could approach you for a friendly hello without being torn to pieces.

Where’d you get the different colored eyes?

Aya: I’m guessing yer one of the leggy, busty supermodel types — sorry, it wasn’t my attention to offend dear.
Fact is, they are everywhere, they are the default female look. I may hang around one main social point but I do get out and they are everywhere. It’s not really surprising when you think about it though, a lot of folks find the look appealing and if you can look like anything you may as well look appealing hey! It’s a perfectly valid approach, I do myself within a given framework.
As for the hands, I’ll work on them. They are small atm, but they look even worse when too big, and they are one of the harder parts to proportion correctly. Thank Dog Justine saw fit to cut of my tiny, unadorned feet in the nude shot.
Winter: it wasn’t supposed to be hostile, more self-deprecating really. Sorry.
Winter & Rawst: They’re prim eyes and there’s a couple of different types about. The particular ones I use are called The Vision, are changable and have a number of in-built effects and styles. They’re really overkill for my uses but the only alternatives I could find at the time were for the neko folks and had cat’s eye pupils.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. – Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember’d.

Thanks for the info. I’ve seen those neko eyes too and didn’t like the cat-eye look. I hope you don’t mind if I copy you with the eyes. :3 I’ve been looking for something like that for a long time.
Anyways, nice avatar. Big boobs that look like floating watermelons isn’t sexy. XD

nice, myf. well done and i liked what you had to say. i enjoy the more realistic avatars a lot. yes i knew a girl in high school that had different colored eyes. the hand size is a problem for us all. its really depending on the light and pose how large the hands look. just go with what u like.

Whatever,
1. Depending on overall height, a fully developed adult has a head between one sixth and one eighth their total body length. Because I am trying to emulate a real world height of ~5ft, my avatar has a head sized to match.
2. Re waist and hips. Perhaps you need to stop looking at pr0n on the net, get outside and meet some real girls. Not everyone has an hourglass figure and my avatar’s proportions (asides arguably hands and feet) are perfectly within the normal adult female range.
3. Re my store. Why the eff should I not use this drop of publicity to sell? I really don’t know how to response to such a nonsensical attack.
4. Yes, yes, I’m so emo; /wrists, cry, sob. (rollseyes.)
