The Curse Of Bling

sandbox No comments yet

Second life is divided in two camps. Actually, in many pairs of camps. This time, it's about those who hate bling and those who look like Christmas trees.

I have no intention of saying a single word in defense of those whose shoes, jewelry or whatever are causing serious cases of bling allergy around. They are guilty as charged. And their favourite creators are partners in crime. And they are all guilty of putting bling on such bad voice that goes to the extent that some residents are turning their particles off and even asking for complete turn-off of that function.

But, there is always some "but"…

Bling is not bad. Not if you use it with a bit of common sense and taste. As you probably know, bling script has something called "rate", that is time in which one bling occurs. Usually, it is less than a second, sometimes it's measured in tenths of a second. It's not a surprise that some attachments are flashing as a firefly during the mating season.

That little flare can give a bit of life to the scene. It is actually nice to see it once. So, try tweaking those scripts so the bling rate is something like three minutes. As we rarely stare at each other without moving for that long, chances are that in 15 minutes conversation, bling will be noticed maybe once. And that is actually quite enough. It will serve the purpose, giving a bit of discrete shine to your look.
