UPDATED! Editorial: Old Age in Virtual Worlds and Social VR—Why the Representation of Aging Matters in the Metaverse

Meet Grace!

I’ve been active in the virtual world of Second Life for almost 15 years now (since 2007), and one of the things I have learned (which also applies to the newer crop of social VR apps and the suddenly-ubiquitous NFT metaverse platforms) is the following lesson: people are willing to invest a significant amount of time, energy, and money in their avatars!

But what I do find extremely interesting about Second Life (which has a userbase which skews significantly older than, say, VRChat or Rec Room) is that people almost uniformly confirm to looking as young as possible! In my peregrinations and perambulations across the grid, I can often go for weeks at a time before I see another avatar who appears middle-aged, or (God forbid!) a senior citizen. SL is full of clubs and nightspots where everybody seems to be young, pert, taut, and beautiful (even the men!). Why is that? Why does nobody question the status quo?

Well, I think that what happens in virtual worlds is a reflection of what happens in real life, with all its distortions and biases. Modern society does not treat aging well, especially the aging of women, who are often seen as undesirable as the grey hairs and wrinkles accumulate over time. The entire beauty industry is built upon the irresistible allure of keeping aging at bay: cosmetics, hair dyes, plastic surgery procedures. I could write an entire separate blogpost about how Instagram filters are impacting real-world beauty standards in a sort of endless, soul-less feedback loop.

It doesn’t just stop at plastic surgery, either; did you know that one Dutch man wanted to legally reduce his age by twenty years? (He failed.)

But what if we were to use the metaverse as a fresh opportunity to restore some balance and some much-needed sanity to modern society’s obsessive worship of youth, and disdain of aging? Previous societies (and Indigenous cultures) valued their elders instead of dismissing, disrespecting, and discarding them.

Second Life, with its multi-year head-start over the many newer metaverse platforms, has seen a small but growing movement of products to allow for the more visible avatar representation of seniors, as can be seen by the portraits of three avatars which I share with you today: Grace, Mr. Read. and (one of my favourites!) Rose Queen.

Grace

Grace is a proud senior citizen whose glorious grey hair and wrinkles make her stand out in any SL crowd of twentysomethings, and whose profile reads in part:

I visit various places to show that, even in a place like Second Life, where everybody seems to be young and beautiful, old age can (and should) be represented as well.

Grace is wearing:

  • Mesh Head and Body: the Clodet three-ages mesh body by Altamura comes in three versions in one package: young, middle-aged, and older as shown here (I believe you can buy the various ages separately).
  • Hair: the Brenda hair from Alli&Ali comes in a greyscale (white/grey/black) fatpack with a variety of beautiful ombre tones such as the one I used for these pictures.
  • Eyes: the perfect finishing touch, these grey eyes are a current free unisex group gift from Gloom called the Hercules collection, which you can pick up if you join the L’Homme Magazine group for free (they come in four different colours and three different sizes, in system/Bakes on Mesh, Omega, and LeLutka versions)
  • Outfit: the Older Lady Outfit from The Little Black Dress (*LBD*) includes system skin, shape, hair and clothes, plus a capsule wardrobe of blouson top, skirt and trousers with texture change HUDs (5 textures each)
  • Shoes: Deborah flats by Baby Monkey (warning: store is on an adult sim!)
  • Jewelry: the Daphne choker, earrings, and bracelet from Beloved Jewelry were prizes from a long-ago hunt I participated in, and include an extensive HUD to change the metals and gemstones

Mr. Read

I admit that once I saw this completely free outfit from Kauna, I knew I was going to create this look! To me, the book and the pipe are the perfect finishing touches (yes, I admit, there’s a little bit of Hugh Hefner in the mix, as well as The Most Interesting Man in the World advertising campaign!).

Mr. Read is wearing:

  • Mesh Head, Eyes, and Skin: the Victor head from LOGO allows you to adjust the level of wrinkles from young to old, and anywhere in-between! Very versatile if you’re going for an older gentleman look, and highly recommended.
  • Mesh Body: the Meshbody Classic male mesh body (only L$1!). I also used Sweet’s free tintable Quick Nail Cover Fix for hands to match the fingertips with the included body skin from the Victor head package
  • Hair: this part was easy; it’s the free hair from the Leonard starter avatar, already in your inventory!
  • Outfit: the entire outfit—smoking jacket and shirt, trousers, socks, and shoes—is available for free from the tiny Kauna menswear store on Jo Yardley’s Time Portal sim! Kauna is one of the hidden gems of menswear in SL, and includes retro styles from the 1920s, 1930, and 1940s as well as a wide variety of more modern suits and tuxedos. You’ll have to buy everything in bundles for L$0 from the vendor panels and then unpack it all, but it’s worth the effort!
  • Book: the Everybook comes with a HUD with 5 different Bento hand poses, and was a free 10th anniversary gift from Contraption, home to all kinds of weird and wonderful steampunk accessories!
  • Pipe: this wonderful pipe with its particle smoke effects was an old gacha prize from Kauna

Rose Queen

Rose Queen (yes, that is her honest-to-God, legacy Second Life name!) is the avatar I use for Victorian/steampunk roleplay purposes. You can usually find her strolling through steampunk neighbourhoods like the Caledon, Mieville, and New Babbage sims, exchanging pleasantries with the other residents. I first wrote about Rose back in 2018, when I upgraded her from a classic, system avatar to the all-mesh look you now see here.

Rose Queen is wearing:

  • Mesh Head and Skin: Vivien Bento mesh head by LAQ (you can adjust the wrinkles on this as well)
  • Mesh Body: Maitreya Lara mesh body
  • Outfit: the Respectable dress comes from HotDog, one of my absolute favourite period/vintage/gothic/horror stores on the grid! I would buy out the whole store if I could afford it! I bought the entire fatpack of this glorious dress at their last Black Friday sale, just so I could mix and match all the different colours of the top, skirt, and lace detail to my heart’s delight. I call this particular combination Rose’s “Victorian widow weeds” 😉
  • Hair: this is another Alli&Ali hairstyle, called Lucille

For more pictures of Rose, please see my earlier blogpost, which includes full styling credits.

Now, I don’t want to paint a picture that Second Life is some perfect nirvana for seniors. Unfortunately, there’s an absolutely dire shortage of virtual places in Second Life where senior (and senior-appearing) avatars can meet and chat (and NO, I am NOT talking about the small number of adult-rated sims which cater to the dirty-old-grandpa crowd). Where in the fresh hell are the spaces where the age and accumulated wisdom of our elders are welcomed and celebrated, instead of just treated as a sexual fetish?

Forgive me; I just turned 58 a couple of weeks ago, and I fear I am rapidly becoming a cranky old man myself! If you’re into fetishes like findom (link is safe for work), well, there’s a place for you in Second Life, too (far, far away from the rest of us!). After all, it is your Second Life; you do you, boo. 😉


So the (im)pertinent question this old man would pose to all the metaverse newcomers is this: how well will your worlds support the older users who want to see themselves represented? Or are your worlds going to be only for the uniformly young?

UPDATE February 17th, 2022: Wow, this blogpost has received more comments—and I have received more feedback from people via Reddit—than any other recent blogpost which I can remember. I clearly have struck a nerve!

And I want to make it very clear that I am NOT advocating that people who use Second Life must have an avatar that looks like them in real life, if they happen to be older. As I always say: it’s your Second Life; be whoever (or whatever) you wish. Follow your fantasy and your desire!

And one person on the AltspaceVR Discord server, named Wookie Picard, had this absolutely wonderful comment, which I got permission to share in full with you here:

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been doing virtual worlds for about 20 years, first Second Life and now Altspace. I’m almost 70. My hair in Altspace has plenty of gray. I get called granny. I get told him too old to be in there. But mostly I get ignored. I’ve done a test. When I change my hair to a more youthful color, more people talk to me. I’m proud to represent “my people .” The funny comments include “Who bought you the headset?” “Who taught you how to use it?” I have some snarky replies. I tell them that every morning my nurse gets me out of bed and wheels my wheelchair over to the desk and puts the headset on my head. When I tell them my age and they say “Good for You!!!” I reply, “Yeah, good for me! I’ve managed not to die yet.” Yes. Representation matters. I’ve heard people say they like avatars because they can look younger. I say, come out of the closet! We deserve to be in virtual worlds and we deserve to be respected for our experience. Our people created all this stuff!

Amen! Thank you, Wookie!

O.K., I am once again breaking my vow to take a December vacation from blogging to bring you news of yet another generous Christmas gift! LOGO is giving away the Bella female and Jace male Bento, Bakes on Mesh-compatible heads. Simply join the LOGO Update Group for free, and pay each vendor one Linden dollar, which will automatically be refunded. Here’s what the vendors look like in the LOGO store (SLURL):

The group notice states:

Happy Holidays everyone <3

Truly, this is the Season of Gift Heads! In addition to the LeLutka group gift male and female heads (which unfortunately ended yesterday, even though it said on the posters it was running until Dec. 24th!), and the Akeruka group gift male and female heads, and the BeSpoke unisex Yule elf head, and these LOGO heads, there is also a free group gift of a female mesh head and skin from Vive Nine (rather than write up a separate blogpost about this gift, I will simply point you to the excellent summary posted by Dreamer on her blog).

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: LOGO Now Offers Group Deal of the Month Heads for Only L$300 Each!

PLEASE NOTE: My blog is still on indefinite hiatus; I have made a single exception for this blogpost. After this, I am returning to my self-imposed break from blogging.


If you were on the ball and picked up the free Chase and Chelsea heads from LOGO last October, boy, do I have a great deal for you! Did you know that you can pick up a new male or female LOGO Bento mesh head for only L$300, each and every month? It’s currently one of the best deals on the grid, and I wanted to alert you to it!

Just go to the LOGO store, and look for the following display near the entrance:

The red arrows show you where to get more information on LOGO’s Group Deal of the Month, and where to click to buy the monthly heads for only L$300 each

Click on the black sign that says Group Deal of the Month, which will give you a notecard that informs you of how the deal works:

Every month LOGO will be offering an older head as a group-only deal at a heavily reduced price. In order to purchase the discounted head you must join the LOGO Update Group and have the group active when making your purchase. The group is free to join…

There are 2 options for buying the head. If you’re an existing LOGO head owner who already had the HUDs (customization and animation HUDs) you can purchase just the head and skins for L$300. If you’re a new customer and want to be able to use appliers and animations you can buy the bundle which includes the L$999 HUDs pack for L$1,295.

And the good new is: if you picked up the free Chase and/or Chelsea heads last October, you already have the HUDs! There’s no need to spring for the full bundle! And even if you do have to buy the HUDs, you do not need to rebuy them for any subsequent heads you buy from LOGO.

Here’s what the LOGO Jace male head looks like, right out of the box, paired with the dollarbie Classic mesh body the Meshbody/The Mesh Project. I used the default brow shape and head/body shape, with zero changes to the body sliders, and I used one of the five Bakes on Mesh skins included in the package (this is the Blaze skin tone), Isn’t he handsome?

The Jace male Bento head from LOGO

I picked up a free hairstyle and some free clothing from Fitch’s excellent menswear freebie store (more info here), fiddled with a few of the head and body sliders, and this is my final result! I am quite pleased with this look, and with the rugged masculine features of the LOGO Jace head.

Hair and clothing are from Fitch (please see this blogpost for more information)

Happy bargain shopping! I may just decide to pick up a new mesh head every month from LOGO for my alts!

Posted on April 16, 2021April 17, 2021Categories Second Life, Second Life Steals, Deals and FreebiesTags Logo, Second Life, Second Life Mesh Heads1 Comment on Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: LOGO Now Offers Group Deal of the Month Heads for Only L$300 Each!

UPDATED! Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Free Male and Female Bento, Bakes on Mesh Heads from LOGO on Their 15th Anniversary!

LOGO is celebrating its 15th anniversary in Second Life, and as part of their festivities, the store is giving away two free Bento, Bakes on Mesh-compatible mesh heads, one for male avatars and one for female avatars. All you have to do is join the LOGO Update Group for free, teleport to their sales platform here, pay the panel one Linden dollar (which is automatically refunded), and the Chase or Chelsea heads are yours!

If you land at the main store, just click these boards to get the SLURL for the sales platform
Here is the sales panel for the Chase Bento mesh head (L$1, refunded) and a set of Bakes on Mesh skins and eyebrows for the head (L$299). The sales panel for the Chelsea head is immediately opposite the Chase panel in the central square.

Here is what the Chase head looks like, with the default body and brow shape, and without any adjustments to the sliders. He’s quite the handsome fellow!

After fiddling around with the body sliders a bit, here is my final result, paired with the dollarbie Classic mesh body by The Meshbody:

The L$299 skin package for Chase comes with five skin tones: blaze (shown), chestnut, copper, pale and umber, and six colours of eyebrows: black, blond, brown (shown), light brown, red, and white. But of course, you can use any Bakes on Mesh/system skins, hair bases, tattoos, etc., so if you are short of Linden dollars, just buy the Chase head for free, and hunt around for free or inexpensive BoM/system skins to use with it.

Here’s what the Chelsea head looks like (again, using the included default body and brow shapes, and without making any changes to the sliders):

The Chelsea head is, like the Chase one, only L$1, and your Linden dollar is automatically refunded. The L$299 skin package for Chelsea includes six skin tones: alabaster, almond, amber (shown), bloom, cocoa and cream, plus eight different colours of eyebrows, eight eyeshadows, and eight lipsticks. Here’s a look at the fully-styled result, utilizing the dollarbie Classic female mesh body by The Meshbody (more details here):

Both the Chase and Chelsea heads comes with a head animation override with natural, neutral movements, a nice little bonus.

Here is the full anniversary announcement from LOGO:

LOGO celebrates their 15 year anniversary with a big event starting on October 23 that will run 15 days until midnight SLT on November 6th. Founder Maximillion Grant and his team will be celebrating with the release of two new heads, Chelsea and Chase (shown here) which will be FREE during the event. These new exclusive heads have been reworked from the ground up to fully support pre-mesh skins and makeup via Bakes on Mesh meaning most of your old skins should fit perfectly. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Of course appliers will still be supported and the customization HUD has received a much needed update as well.

Max has over a dozen talented designers working on unique products for the new heads. These designers include skin designers The Skinnery, Pink Fuel, Lara Hurley, makeup designers Izzie’s and Alaska Metro, shape makers iEvolve, Cree Moi and Wren’s Nest and hair designers Mina and Exile plus more. In addition Meshbody will be having a draw to give away copies of their full Legacy bodies. 

Stay tuned for more prizes and giveaways during the event!

Draxtor Despres did a two-minute profile of Maximillion Grant as part of his Fashion Made in SL documentary miniseries:

The Chase and Chelsea heads are only available until midnight Second Life/Pacific Time on November 6th, 2020, so be sure to pick yours up before they’re gone!

UPDATE Oct. 28th, 2020: I forgot to mention that, in order to set up your Chase or Chelsea LOGO head properly, you will have to use two HUDs, a blank Customization HUD, and (if you purchased the separate L$299 skin kit) a Skins and Options Installer HUD, which allows you to copy over all or only the options you want to use on the Customization HUD:

The system is unlike what you might be used to with other brands of mesh heads, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow.

UPDATE Oct. 30th, 2020: I just wanted to report that I have been experimenting with both the Chelsea and Chase heads with various mesh bodies, and I am getting excellent results. I have found that the skins you get in the L$299 packages still have a few issues along the fingertips near the nails, which can be easily resolved with Sweet’s Free Bakes on Mesh Nail Cover Fix, a tintable tattoo layer you can pick up for free from the SL Marketplace here.

Check out this silver fox! Complete styling credits are below.

This avatar is wearing:

  • Mesh Head and Mesh Eyes Chase by Logo (free group gift; this head comes with a natural, neutral head AO)
  • Mesh Body: Romeo by Altamura (a former free group gift; at the time I joined the Altamura group the group join fee was L$50, but it is now L$100; you must also purchase and apply the Altamura Omega system kit (available for L$99 at this exact SLURL), and pick up the free Bakes on Mesh relay (available at the Altamura store at this exact SLURL) in order to apply the Chase BoM skins to the Romeo body.
  • Skin: Chase Pale skin (part of the L$299 Chase skin and eyebrows package; I used the free Sweet’s Nail Cover Fix mentioned above)
  • Hair: free hair from the Leonard SL starter avatar (the one with the tuxedo and the rose)
  • Entire Outfit: Free Altamura Male Starter Pack by NoShot from the Freebie Megastore at the London City sim (exact SLURL)
  • Animation Override: Tuty’s Daily sLIFE Free Bento AO (free from the Tuty animations store)

TOTAL COST FOR THIS AVATAR: Only L$448! (L$50 to join the Altamura group, L$99 for the Altamura Omega system kit, L$299 for the Chase set of skins and eyebrows)
