In Second Life, I’m stunning. Legs up to my ears, glowing skin, hair that looks like it costs £500 at the hairdressers.
In real life? I’m in my nightie, drinking lukewarm tea, and arguing with my cat as she mounts my curtains.
My avatar struts around like a Vogue cover model. I, meanwhile, just thud as I walk to put the kettle back on..
But that’s the joy of it, isn’t it?
SL is where we’re all effortlessly flawless while in reality we’re googling the best face creams for maturing faces.
We might be delusional…
But if confidence, fantasy, and zero back fat is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
