Which Male Avatars Should Iris Pick For Her Top Ten Hot List? (Round 2 of 3)

Round_2_roundup

Here's Round 2 of reader voting to help NWN style correspondent Iris Ophelia select her hot guy avatar top ten for 2008.  (Round 1 is here.) Taking your many many nominations, Iris filtered them down to 30 dudes most redolent with studliness.  To help Iris select her final ten, we're having three voting rounds; choose your favorite three from each.  When making her list, Iris will strongly consider the democratic will, so vote, and lobby friends to vote, too.

Survey after the break.  Deadline to vote is the end of November.

A vote for Lawless is a vote for ... ummm... not conforming? Seriously - he's Lawless. It's all in the name. You don't want to keep making The Man happy, do you?

I don't think I've ever been at an event with JJ where there have been few enough people to have him rez in that properly :-P

Kham and Law :D

I noticed in the comments which accompanied the previous release (candidates 1-10), there was a great deal of discussion about the fact that some candidates were gay men in RL. Some people objected; others said it doesn't matter - that an attractive male avatar is an attractive male avatar, regardless of sexual orientation, availability, or race. Indeed, Iris herself weighed in on the discussion to stress that point, and to say that she based her choices on more than just physical attractiveness.

It appears that we are going to stretch the boundaries of comfort just a tad further more, yet. Some of the "male avatars" in the contest actually have female humans on the other side of the keyboard. Does it matter? To some, yes. To others, not at all.

I have learned that SL is very unlike RL in some very fundamental ways. It can be a bit shocking to a newcomer. We bring our RL expectations and comfort levels into SL with us. It has been an eye-opening education over the last 2 years for me, and I must say that though I have always been a fairly tolerant person in RL, I have broadened my horizons considerably as a result of my Second Life.

So, may the best "man" win!

Vote for Kham or be prepared to cry.
