Back in 2008 I noted "Spontaneously Me", a Flickr group that challenges Second Life Residents to reveal the real person behind the avatar with an impromptu self-portrait, and was glad to notice recently that people are still adding photos. Here's the latest slideshow (with a few SL images thrown in), depicting Residents in all their diversity, though perhaps self-selecting for those who tend to be babe-like in both realities:
See the whole pool here (where photographs are often matched to avatar names.)
There. I've wrecked the babe-stream.
*smile* (screech) THUD!

I guess this is going to be mandatory once the forced Facebook integration goes into effect, eh Hamlet?

Huh? There's no plans to make Facebook integration mandatory with Second Life that I'm aware of. I do think Facebook Connect and other FB integration should be an *option*. In any case, with Facebook, it's not even mandatory to put your, well, face, on your profile -- a lot of people put a pic of their dog or a beach or whatever where the face usually goes.

Crap, you are a handsome devil in RL but slightly less metallic looking that some might have guessed. ;)

"Huh? There's no plans to make Facebook integration mandatory with Second Life that I'm aware of."
Then you are unaware of this *option*, I imagine?
