Barbra Winkler — Post 6 Grrrrl

[I met Barbra while out on the grid and was looking at her avie andthinking about asking her if she'd be willing to pose when she IM'd meand said she was a Herald reader. A perfect coincidence for Post 6readers, I'm pleased to present Barbra Winkler, Post 6 Grrrl. -TimothyMorpork]
Hello Post Six Readers,
I'm Barbra Winkler andI've been hanging around in SL waiting for the lights to go out withthe rest of you since 2007. In the meantime I enjoy experiencing thevarious cultures and belief systems and arts to be found in SecondLife.
I have been blessed with a wonderful family in reallife, so I'm not on very often. When I am, I am always blown away byall the cool developments and new spotlight builds there are. I lovethe styles that people borrow from real world things and adapt, and Ialso like that SL has a funky style all its own.
I have a few friends I've met in SL, mostly I justwander and gawk on my own. I love that SL is kind of an emergentculture, a new online phenomenon, and we get to dabble in it. I hopeit's a friendlier culture than some of the discussion boards wouldindicate, but let's all hope that love wins, eh? (and leaving somethingnice online, starting with my comments would be a great first steptoward building world harmony) /me gets guitar, strums kumbaya,smashes guitar 
I know that people are clamoring for wisdom,but I'm afraid the best I can do is quote people that are smart, likeKurt Vonnegut, who said "Peculiar travel suggestions are dancinglessons from God" and "Be careful what you pretend to be because youare what you pretend to be.”
Busy, Busy, Busy
Love you all. Rock on.

Even fewer words than usual. No comment really on the look of Barbra, since she looks like just another clone that rolled off the conveyor belt.
Anyone who says that SL has a “funky style all its own” though is either trying to be nice and use funky as a euphemism for “ugly as sin,” or they might just be a 45 year-old mother of three living in a double-wide trying to be hip with the young’uns after dropping their meatbags off at soccer practice or something.
I’m not really sure.
Boring article though, cheers!

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the second photo but I love the other two, especially the first one. Your face in the first picture just made me have a wow moment
Hopefully it doesn’t turn out that you eat babies or sell crack to school kids or something and we can have a nice Post 6 for a change
Woe is Kae

Wow, Kae, bitter much? Get away from the computer screen and get some sunshine. It will clear up that acne too.
Anyone that quotes Kurt Vonnegut is good in my book. Adding “Busy, Busy, Busy” at the end was a stroke of genius.
As I always say:
Live by the foma that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy.
Busy busy busy indeed.

Ok, who helped you count that high? I hope they took you to Chuck E. Cheese for finally reaching triple digits, or at least bought you some more attractive lips. Your Typepad picture looks like a necrotic vagine. (Ask whoever helped you count to explain that to you).
Nice avie, nice bio. I think the online culture is worth study also and I love Vonnegut too.

@She’s Hawt: it’s ‘vagina’ not ‘vagine’ you little retard. But I guess proper typing is a problem when you’re jerking off on pixels at the same time…

Actually Takuya, She’s Hawt pwned you, twice.
>>Your Typepad picture looks like a necrotic vagine.
Might be the funniest sentence I’ve read in a month.
and when you came back with:
>>it’s ‘vagina’ not ‘vagine’ you little retard.
You lost like fifteen points because everyone knows that “vagine” is a much cooler way to say “vagina” than “vagina” is. I refer you to the Urban Dictionary:

I was reading these comments and thought for a moment that I had stumbled across a YouTube thread :s

Sorry Judge Judy, English is only my third language and I learnt it at an academic institution and not on the internet like you guys
The avatar still looks like a soccer mom gone wild to me though!

Wow what is wrong with all you haters? Her av is perfectly nice. She can speak in real sentences. She doesn’t have a blog filled with vore, but there’s just no pleasing some of you! These women are just normal people like everyone else.
We also have real pictures that aren’t just a single color background, which is a huge improvement!

Very nice AV indeed, I love the hair. as well as the rest of her but that goes without saying
And, as already said, the eyes, her looking into the camera… As someone elsewhere said, sexyness is in the eyes.
A tiny bit of positive critisism tho. Above in the comments Senban mentioned not being sure about the middle picture, and I know what’s causing it.
Her elbow closest to the camera hides the line of the small of her back, you can see the highlight in where it curves but not the actual line between back and background… This makes her torso look wider then it in reality is. It’s very subtle, so subtle that it takes a bit to see what causes the picture to look ‘weird’. The ‘weirdness’ being the slightly bigger looking torso making the head look too small. Which of course isnt the case.
Having the model turn just a slight bit clockwise in relation to the camera, will show her lower back line instead of hiding it behind her elbow, should fix that.
All in all, nice, very nice!

surely cool is subjective dependant on age, culture etc

“The avatar still looks like a soccer mom gone wild to me though!”
And THAT is a problem? I think her “girl next door” looks make her hotter. That type of model is a favorite of soft-core publications. But if you prefer cyborgs or plastic-fantastic vixens, you are sure to be disappointed.
Kudos to the Herald for this lovely lady. And her bottom is just not to be forgotten. I love photos 2 & 3…very pinchable, that bit.

I like her! She sounds literate and cool. I’m not crazy about all the tattoos, but, that’s me. She looks hot and she’s intelligent and quite nice. I’m sure she’d be fun to hang out with.
I have a vague curiosity about some of the people who complain about the women in this feature. I wonder if they have developed a unique look that presses the boundaries of our virtual world, something that takes full advantage of the creativity possible in SL without being too unrealistic. I wonder if when they walk past a crowd they leave a chorus of oooes and ahhes in their wake.
Or maybe they are guys with V-shaped torsos and tiny heads, with gangsta wear from a lucky chair, and a meter-long 1-prim wooden cylinder to attach to their pelvis when they want to make women swoon.
I have a vague curiosity but it passes quickly.
