While testing the limits of Second Life physics and my own patience on a motorcycle ride, I ran across an eye-catching store in the sim of Bishop. Had geometry not been rezzing in at its usual slow pace, a common problem when speeding down the roads of SL, I’d have easily spotted this place from a long distance.

Simtropia (SLurl link) has an iconic and attractive design, making good use of vertical space both to attract the eye and to provide surface area for product display. The architecture is clean, simple, and functional.

I love Second Life. The sights. The sounds. The fashion. The fashion faux pas.

Exhibit A: This dapper gentleman I ran across in Midnight City. His pasty white ass, bared in his leather chaps and clearly visible from halfway across the sim, was what first drew my attention. I wish I’d left it at that, because orbiting the camera around to his front side revealed what could be the single worst fashion choice I’ve yet to see in Second Life.

Put that thing away before someone gets hurt.
