Dear #2: Nothing wrong with Ms. Cyrus’s music. I saw the Ramones, Bad Religion, Beastie Boys,White Zombie, and Misfits (amongst other pop bands) and I have Lindsey Lohan’s album on my ipod as well and I actually like it (along with soundtracks to movies like 13 going on 30.)
Anywho, everyone does it.
Anyone else notice the comment box is here? *looks around*
er I mean punk, not pop bands. aieaieaieaie *panic*
#1 is Junk……
#4 would like the link to that Flickr page. could use some lols
#6 -um ok
#9-dude- nice biker shorts!
OMG Kess how dare u lump White Zombie in there w/ Lohan!! Now I’ve heard everything
& I just caught 13 going on 30 on TV this morning, the soundtrack wasn’t bad
YAY for comments
12 where is that?
@shana, I did catch myself looking at the anime scrot as well. And yes, YAY COMMENTS!
I don’t understand #7? What?
7 is confusing…
Hi Kess!
I was thinking that maybe a designer in SL made that same outfit and they’re “outing” them.
Ah….. you’re probably right…..
Hi TallyHo!!!
I don’t get 7 but I’m available inworld via IM if you want to explain it to me. Seriously.
7 is real life emulating SL fashion?
If #7 is about an outfit in SL inspired by RL who cares?
#10 why would they want a cheater anyway? Some people just dont think.
I wonder if #11 has shared his or her feelings with the woman being referenced.
Yeah whoever wrote these is dumb. I know tons of people that specifically love one type of music, and always love that, but they have other genres or singers they like that are totally different and they don’t hide it or anything. These days it’s cool to show you have an open mind. Who’s writing this stuff, some either under 20 or over 50 year old? I work in the music business and we have hardcore metal or punk or goth people who will say they love Katy Perry for example. Easily admit it. I’ve never known anyone to close off their interests or not defend something when others put it down. Maybe it’s a trait of certain types of SL cowards but even my SL friends are outspoken. These things get lamer and lamer. Initially a fun thing to read, but it’s getting stale and old now. Come up with something new and different if you have the imagination to.
2. Yea you’re a freak of nature..but to each his own.
3. Yea I agree some are a lil over the top.
4. I sometimes think the same thing. Some of the outfits I see on some blogs look like they came from Freebie Dungeon. That’s not bad if the site is targeting fresh noobs but I’ve seen some that are supposed to be “high fashion”. Who has a link for this?
5. I’ve never had a problem with Gor people. What is it about the sim that seems to attract them?
7. What?
8. With the way things are going a lot of people will lose their sim(s).
10. What face will you make when he drops you?
12. Yea I want to thank them too. After going on OpenLife I have much more respect for highly skilled SL builders.
I didn’t know that comments were back up. Hard to reference the secrets if you have to go to another site. Thanks for opening comments.
no idea about the rest of the pix but one of them is here from #4

#2: ROFLMAO I s-s-stuttered when you asked me what I’m thinkin bout! Don’t worry a lot of people like her more than they’d admit! haha, embrace it!
#3: SRS BSNS
#4: Link or GTFO
#7: ???
#11: Get over it
1. I’m betting you’ll only get as far as the sim edge…
2. This might be the most twisted secret yet.
3. I hear that.
4. Hell yes, this IS funny.
5. But silks are so fetching!
6. I like your pink hair.
7. I like this. Well done!
8. This is very sweet.
9. And this is the face D: when he dumps you for someone else.
10. I’m sorry dude. Next?
11. Blah blah blah. I want more dirt and less sentiment.
Thanks nunya but #4 looks like someone made a photo stream based off of the photo’s. Then again maybe someone created it in photoshop.
Number 7 amuses me because it’s so utterly anonymous. I have the feeling we may see more secrets with just random pictures, just because people want to drive the commentators nuts. Perhaps its an outfit that was reproduced in SL; perhaps it refers to the numerous emo/punk/goth kids that play SL to compensate for their social lives; perhaps it has to do with Sour Skittles, based on that facial expression.
The world may never know.
3 makes me happy because of the image and the added mustache. I think the caption enhanced the marketability of that hair style and the clothes.
10 looks like Lucy’s going to blow chunks, so I’m guessing that he’s dumping her ass for your personality.
Honestly, if she’s a high-horsed bitch, I hope she makes that face, too, before falling down back to earth.
I think we should have left comments perpetually on or have left them off- some of the comments are really dumbed down. “They all suck because yada-yada is totally wrong” has reached the end of its originality, don’t cha’ think?
James I have a big juicy cock for you to suck baby. Why so bitter? Kisses.
#4: YES IT IS FUNNY. That crap has no place on the fashion feeds. It’s either identikit slutwear you can find in literally hundreds of clubmall outlets, or stuff by people who are still learning and in a year’s time will be cringing that they ever released their amateur productions for public consumption. Whatever it is, it ain’t fashion.
#10: I have my own ideas about who this refers to
#11: yawn. Like she wouldn’t have dumped you within the week anyway.
Eek, I guess copying the format from the previous week doesn’t copy the comment formatting, too. I didn’t actually mean for the comments to stay open. Oh well!
I really liked the secrets this week. Lots of introspection and even a nice one!
Is it bad I like the idea of a huge sweater collar that could swallow my head whole? I’m not particularly fond of the sweater presented in #4, but the idea has potential. Or that could be the insane fashion-artist-psycho side of me talking.
Why do people need a link for the Flickr thing? The Flickr account’s NAME is clearly visible-go search it (like I did)!
#2 – I can relate. I mainly listen to classic rock, punk, blues and metal. I used to hide my Kate Bush obsession from my friends.
#4 – Ha! I am glad that SL residents are mostly positive and supportive of creativity, but wish there was a very forward fashion critic in SL.
#5 – Before SL existed I used to participate in HTML chat room Gor. I guess nothing has changed.
#9 – I would like to watch. Heh.
#12 – I totally agree, there are some amazing visual artists on SL.
#5 – Think about this: Were your comments directed at furries, you would be screamed at for “Fursecution”. What makes you think it’s right to discriminate against Goreans? It isn’t cool.
Alyx
Yea I did notice the huge blue mast head of the flickr account stating the name. Yea I did search for it but didn’t find it. Since you found it why not post it for the rest of us?
“I LUV U U R SO AWESUM LOLOL!!11″ Is not a secret >:(
Anon, I beg to differ: Discriminating against goreans is cool. Hell of cool, even! As we are speaking, I’m installing separate drinking fountains for space vikings and disallowing giant space bird parking on my lawn. It is harsh, but that’s discrimination for ya!
Don’t you want to be cool, Anon?
Stella- Wasnt hard to find. You need to search under “people” not “photos”. Here’s the link:

Ingrid- Do you know what the definition of a secret is? lmao @ u
11.. maybe she was patient.. did you ever give her a reason to believe that it would work?
im probably not too convincing
Professions of love or thanks may be ‘secret’ if a.) the one that is loved doesn’t know, b.) the professor of love wishes to remain hidden [#12], c.) an aspect of the love is hidden from one or more people [#1 and 9], or d.) some combination of the above or ‘other’ perspective. I suggest checking out ‘Post Secrets’ for more examples, as many are in the this line of thought.
Yeah I guess I just figured people were open about having hot human-lizardperson (or whatever that is in the picture) internets sex.
Isn’t that what SL is all about?
(perverts.)
/me yawnz and exits thread
I’ll try to be more irate next time at anon comments, sorry
.
Well, consider how much of SL Fashion imitates what we actually see in real life- sure, it’s original, but the major labels and businesses sell (primarily) formal or casual attire. We do not often see robotic space suits or witch cloaks in the feeds (except for Halloween). Likewise, there are primarily hetero- or homosexual human couples on SL. Strange relationships may seem more prominent because that’s what makes the news and catches the eye. It follows in the same line of “It bleeds, it leads”.
i just want to know how to upload a secret made in gimp. no matter what i do i can’t get it small enough for this site. thanks in advance.
@ A nony mouse
download and use Mozilla Firefox to upload secrets
a nony mouse:
Can you, in a throwaway gmail, email the secret to Iris then email me your EXACT steps- if that is true, that creating a simple jpg image makes it too big for upload here- that’s a BUG in gimp and needs to be reported. I’d be happy to do the replication and bug report.
I’d normally not worry, but the gimp devs totally helped me out 7 years ago with a true type font bug in gimp over IRC. I’ve been indebt since.
when I say exact steps I mean how you were creating the image, then saving it (number of layers etc) so I can replicate bug.
thanks kesseret but i figured out my problem and my secret was posted!
To #11…
I could have written the same exact letter word for word with just the pronouns reversed. I met my soulmate in SL when I didn’t even believe there was such a thing as soulmates. It’s been 8 months now since he ended everything, and we were together for 15 months in SL and 4 months in RL. It still hurts, and I fight back the tears every single day.
You’re not alone.
