No, it's not about databases or programming. The title also is not to be taken verbatim in that way - shame on you. ^_^
My inventory currently holds 10 complete avatars. Some are furry, some are curvy, and some were created for a specific interest. I don't mean I have a few skin variations with different hair and eyes. Shapes, skins, clothing, expressions, and personalities are all there, each in a well documented, organized folder. Ok, not the clothing...that is a whole separate part of my inventory. I enjoy expressing my mental and emotional state with a physical creativity, wearing the face and clothing best suited to my mood. I shop, flirt, live, and love with equal ease regardless of the body I choose to reveal. I feel a more comfortable and complete experience, enjoying friendships that span my masculine and feminine sides, happy to scratch behind my ears or go to a live set in a dizzyingly lit club. I don't have any reason to dictate to anyone what beliefs they should have, nor would I permit someone to do the same to me. Living in Second Life, I accept all cultures and derive pleasure in living my own fantasies. My mind accepts my appearance and seems to be quiet content living in any body, female, male, demonic, or furry.
Wearing a body different from our 1st Lives has been tossed around a lot with an abundance of opinions sprouting from the subject. Tied closely to that is the discussion of "sexual disclosure" and anthropomorphism. A mask is nothing new. Pretending to be what reality suggests you are not has been around far longer than computers. There is no "lie" present in the wearing of an avatar. The inhabitants of Second Life have made no promises or guarantees towards those living in First Life. Citizenship in Second Life is an intentional, deliberate action and requires an acceptance of life among the residents of that world. Unlike the place of your First Life birth, you chose to live here. You can't get in your car and drive to it. There is no airline flight to carry you to that destination.
So I'll offer a good night and a Happy start of another year.
- Wilderness Blessed, Fallen Angel and cynical explorer of the world
- Wil, a funny, furry, little black and white spotted bunny who loves carrots, piercings, and cute vixens
- Wild Foxie, spunky as only a red furred fox can be, nothing suits her better than bright lights, loud music, and the brush of hot air across her well groomed body
- Wild, a girl with the power to shape shift into a gleaming black panther. She mixes a wholesome personality with powerfully seductive desires.

Good for you, Wilderness (what your default name anyway?)!
The beauty of Second Life allows us to express our creativity in ways that RL can't..eg: shape/species/gender shifting.
And all this time I thought being a DJ was exotic!
