your butthurt alert should’ve gone off by this little snippet earlier too:
“My beautiful friends get IM’d with proposals — and I hear crickets chirping.”

Notice how she remarks on this fact in nearly each one of these articles? fairly amusing.

Miss Persephone, done asked “I’m wondering what the rate is for bulk purchases of prim babies without the pregnancy”

How many you need, missy? I gots ‘em by the wheel-barrow, if’n you don’t mind ones with two heads.

“Senban Babii reaches for the bottle of gin tucked down the back of her chair Mr Babii comes in, finds Senban Babii slumped in front of the unfinished ironing, a daughter drinking pints of heroin and screwing her way down a line of boys, Baby Babii drowning in sick”

Dang. You done a rite good impersonification of my young life. Just put “the truck done broke down again,” “grampa done shot some feller,” an’ “I were bit by the junkyard dawg” in there, and we could have us a time.

It’s easy to tell child avatars from Dwarf avatars, or it should be.
The beard and bloody great axe are pretty good clues.

Now if these things were able to cry, wail and baww at full volume, could not be returned to inventory once rezzed and would rez sick and weewee down your favourite outfits twice daily, burning the stains into the textures?

Then we’d have SL babies we could really believe in.

hmmm… here is my first thought on all this. i liked that striped pull over the model is wearing in the first picture.
secondly i think, having had children, that the faux baby talk is totally off base. i never heard a pre-schooler talk like that. most infants learning to talk get words right pretty fast. that whole scenario of baby talk is way way overdone. heres another fun fact. if you have an infant and an adult in the room…..the baby talk always comes from the adult.
