I’ve just heard about shoes with very new feature: feetlight! Yes, you read it well. And it’s just what you expect it to be: same as facelight, but for your feet. It was hard to believe so I headed to the shop to see it myself.
OK, those shoes are really looking good. But feetlight! I still can’t believe.
I really don’t understand why anybody would want to put a light on own feet. And have in mind that I’m one of those that are very favourable of feet and toes. Yeah, we all have our little fetishes. And mine is now supposed to have it’s own source of light. Only problem is, that source of light is one of the six available and something will have to be turned off because of that. I hope you already know what am I talking about. If not, please, please! read how having too many facelights is damaging your second life experience. And while there is some reason to have ONE! facelight, to get rid of those ugly shadows that exist due to low number of polygons of our faces, there are no such shadows on the feet. So only reason to get something like feetlight is vanity. Or stupidity. Or both.
And even if you like your feet that much that you want them extra lighted, why having that light on open shoes without sculpty toes? This is not 2006. But hey, it’s cool to have a new feature and to shine in the dark, right?
What really bothers me here is the creator’s point of view. With resident’s proven vanity and need to be trendy, sales should go well. Though that pair of shoes should go well even without stupid addon like that. But shouldn’t creators improve our experience? I don’t expect every resident to know that each attachment with light kills one light in the building around thus ruining the view, but creators should know that. And this is not the only case where one product actually ruins the experience of the customer. Just think about all the resizing and color changing scripts that never close and sunglasses with radars and what not. Since when sunglasses are supposed to lag you and shoes to make your environment dark? Should designers think beyond how their product will look on the poster and how it will really feel and make us happy? Am I asking for too much?
Yesterday, looking around Pride Festival sims i saw a vendor selling “CrotchLight”. Not kidding…
It’s probably against foot funghi ;-)
the idea of feetlights is almost as strange as the photo above with the toes going in the wrong direction. ;)
Maybe Dandelion crossed her feet when taking the photo? Though it would a terrifyingly unstable in that position – stilettos are killer.
CROTCHLIGHT ?!? *sputters* ROTFL
Yeah, crotchlight is an another wonder of our world. At least, all those ~lights give us good picture of which bodyparts we are fond of. Anybody seen cleavagelight?
Yup, that photo looks weird with legs crossed. I should think a bit when cropping.
omg… it doesn’t happen to be April 1st, does it?
mmmmm no…. these are for real :D
Ok, you win! It is silly how people keeps burning the poor six light sources of SL, so, from now own, I will not even use the facelight!
(still… cleavagelight, did you say?)
