Crowning glory - Lacy Muircastle reporting...
Glorious locks, shining tresses, Rapunzel, Goldilocks…
Throughout history, and in fairy tales and legends, a woman’s hair has been
seen as a manifestation of her femininity and desirability. (Sorry guys.)
Many of us have a love hate
relationship with our hair. Our hairstyle is one of the most noticeable aspects
of our look. It can show off our personalities and highlight our face and in
Second Life we can change it on a whim.
In RL our hair obsession is a multi-billion dollar industry,
including hair dyes, styling products, wigs, celebrity hairdressers and
hairstyle magazines. The endless media ‘reports’ on celebrities ‘new do’s” fuel
the idea of forever changing your ‘look’.
Luckily in SL it’s easy peasy to make a change and we are spoiled for
choice. We can even be a redhead one day
and a blonde the next with no worries that our hair will fall out due to
constant colour changes.
So let’s talk about colour … Many stereotypes are
associated with our natural hair colour: blondes are dumb, redheads have fiery
tempers and brunettes are attractive. While we believe these to be assumptions,
it’s no secret that people often create a first impression about one based on
their hair colour. Research has now proven that many of these stereotypes can
sometimes have very real effects.
Scientifically,
hair Colour is formed by a substance called melanin produced at the root of the
hair bulb by groups of specialised cells called melanocytes. Melanin itself
consists of two types: the ratio of these two types creates the hair colour in
each individual.
Let’s look at colour
types and personality traits generally associated with them.
Red Hair…
Contrary to the
belief that red hair colour was given to us by Neanderthals; science has shown
that it’s a result of mutation of a gene in chromosome 16. Red hair has even been
represented in various artworks including that of Michelangelo. It’s said that in Europe red hair is valued
and respected. Statistics say that nearly 10% people in Scotland and England
have red hair. Around the world red heads are bullied or teased with words like
“ginger” which can be psychologically damaging for the recipient.
Personality traits
associated with red hair:
Mysterious,
romantic, passionate, alluring and fiery.
Other traits attributed to redheads are - explosive, bad tempered,
opinionated, seductive or sexually promiscuous.
Blonde hair…
Naturally occurring
blonde hair very rare. It occurs naturally
in northern Europe (Scandinavia) and America. Unusually it’s also been seen in nearly 5 to 10% of the
indigenous population of the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific where the
inhabitants predominantly have very dark skin. Until recently it was assumed
that blonde hair was a result of gene flow, a trait passed on by ancient
traders and travellers who visited different countries, centuries ago. Today it’s
been established that a single gene is responsible for it. The people of the Solomon Islands attribute
their blonde hair colour to a diet rich in fish, and sun exposure.
Personality traits associated
with blonde hair:
Females with blonde
hair are generally thought of as high maintenance. A survey has shown that the divorce rate is
also higher in this category. Blonde hair is perceived to be feminine,
youthful, naive and obedient and more fun.
Apparently gentlemen do tend to prefer blondes.
Brunette…
Predominantly seen
in Asia, South America and Africa, this hair colour is considered exotic in
Europe just like blondes and redheads are in the rest of the world. A study
conducted on a woman who visited a nightclub on three different occasions,
changing her hair colour from red, to blonde and then brunette. The result was
that most men said that they found her most appealing, attractive,
approachable, dependable and “seemingly better at relationships” as a brunette.
Personality traits associated
with brunette hair colour:
The majority of
Nobel Prize winners are brunettes. They are thought of as very hard working
people. They are supposedly more serious and tend to form long term
relationships.
Black hair…
Just as men prefer
blondes, women are known to prefer men with dark hair. Deep, introspective and
meditative, this personality type is serious and melancholic.
Personality traits
associated with black hair colour:
Black haired people
are thought to be interested in religion, poetry and spirituality. They are
serious and self-centred but also tend to suffer from self-doubt. They make
great psychologists, therapists etc.
Allegedly in RL, if
you colour your hair with a shade other than your natural hair colour, it will
more than likely influence your behaviour and after a while you will even adopt
the stereotypes associated with said colour.
My avatar has
always been brunette, and I’m brunette in RL. I’ve always felt that I don’t have
the right attitude to be blonde. What
are your opinions on hair colour and what it says about you and your avatar?

Terms of endearment - Lacy Muircastle reporting...
When someone calls you ‘hon’ do your toes curl? Terms of
endearment, do you love them or do you hate them?
When is it appropriate to use terms of endearment? Is it ever appropriate to use terms of endearment?
Or is it just a storm in a teacup and there are far more serious issues in the
world to get one’s knickers in a knot about? For the
hell of it I’ve taken a look at this prickly little subject.
There’s a lot of power in a name
and each one throws up different connotations so it’s important to know which
ones will flatter a partner or the person you’re directing at and which are
definitely not going to have the right effect.
One in ten husbands and boyfriends
admitted they let their partner call them a soppy nickname they would dread
their friends ever finding out.
There’s a lot to be read from a
name, and sometimes using too strongly clichéd or overly-soppy pet names for
someone we like will just be seen as insincere.
It’s become one of the most common
terms of endearment used by couples, but 'babe' has been voted the most hated
pet name for women. The term, made
popular by Sonny and Cher's Sixties hit I Got You Babe, come out on top in a
new study. (Siteopia.com)
‘Sweetcheeks’, ‘snookums’ and ‘muffin’
were also a definite no no, but terms such as ‘gorgeous’, ‘beautiful’ and
‘lovely’ were considered acceptable.
Nicknames like ‘baby girl’ and
‘baby doll’ are also unpopular, along with ‘pudding’ and ‘pumpkin and the research also revealed that only one in five Britons calls their
partner by their full name the majority of the time, with the same number
admitting to using a private nickname when no-one else is around.
Many of the men who took part in the
study also confessed to referring to their partner with terms they would only
use while she was out of earshot. The
Mrs’ or ‘the wife’ were still used by some men, while one in six quietly
referred to their partner as ‘the boss’.
‘Whether using the more common
terms like “babe” or “darling” or some of the more modern terms, the research
shows the ones we choose for our partner can have very differing impacts.
What’s more it’s all very well using terms of endearment
with your nearest and dearest, but what about when you’ve just met someone or
you’re in a work environment? Is it not
condescending and disrespectful to call a person “hon” “sweetie” etc. Or is it okay as long as the tone is
appropriate?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion let us know what yours
is.
A Review of Nabrej Aabye's latest exhibition "Itineraries" - Triuzla reporting.
Sometimes
while wandering through virtual art galleries it can bring about unexpected and
priceless experiences. A visit to Crossroads Gallery can be one of such bargains
for travelers seeking new discoveries in SL.
The
paintings presented at the “Itineraries” exhibition at Crossroads Gallery are
intriguing and thought provoking. Don’t resist the temptation to explore the
whole building.
Nabrej AAbye is a
mysterious creator living in Tunisia. Since 2007, he as been involved with art
and builder in Second Life. You can visit his art studio where you can buy even
more beautiful pieces of art, which are not included in the current exhibit.
The artist shares his inspiration by incorporating real life scenes as subjects
in transition to second life in its diverse form. Truly, the blend of two
realities causes controversial and disturbing feelings of dynamic and emotions,
hidden deep in ones’ sub consciousness.
The use of bright
colors influences the whole specter of thoughts and provokes tough inner
response. Nevertheless, there’s no doubt that the pictures can be stared for a
long time, delving into the virtual dialog with the creator.
What did he mean by
adding this or that layer? Did he wish us to meditate on his artworks or take
immediate action? Questions emerge all the time.
I
can’t say that the theme of revolutionary changes is the guiding idea of Nabrej’s works. In his native country he has
experienced these dramatic events, turbulence and rigorous vibes which can be
perceived through the contemplation on his works.
True features of talent is his ability to
transform hard experiences into optimistic, mature sated works, setting peace
and wisdom in the viewer’s soul.
“La
Marche” can make one stand motionless. The artwork contains numerous female
dark silhouettes, hurrying on somewhere (on execution, as artist explained in a
private talk). However there’s one bright white young representative of this
mass, which totally differs and can become the agent of changes.
It
is perceived as a bright hope depicted in a playful form. The pureness and
open-warmheartedness permeates the air around all pieces of Nabrej’s art.
For
example, “Avatars” is a piece that stimulates imagination with its intriguing
layering effect. Watching this picture for a long time you can imagine an
abstract idea.
Despite
this fact one can feel a strong connection with their own adventures in SL.
On
the one hand, art should actually cause such an effect. On the other hand,
Kerouak’s quote on the floor sets the whole mood of the perception and makes it
clear what the creator was trying to tell us.
