What do Derek Jacobi, Lara Croft, Phileas Fogg, Raquel Welch, Sophia Loren, Diana Rigg, Dorothy Dandridge, Linda Carter, and Diana Rigg have in common? Those real and fictional personages inspired the avatars of these several Second Life Residents. "Who inspired your avatar?" is a meme started by aviatrix Ms. Zoe Connolly (pictured), and I'd love to see more Second Life bloggers join in; always fascinating to read how an avatar identity evolved. It's also a window into the real life person behind the avatar. Given that Racquel Welch and Sophia Loren haven't been well known since the 60s and 70s, for example, can you make an educated guess at the age and gender of the people who chose them as reference points?

I'm always amazed when people notice my little blog of fluff and nonsense.
