Give Yourself a Very Unique Makeover With Avatars from Second Life Fashion Brand Tesla

 
Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style

Virtual fashion designer Tesla Miles has been having a bit of fun with her brand lately. Though she's most well known for creating high-quality mesh clothing and shoes, she's also been producing a series of rather offbeat avatars including a "Thing" style hand that walks on its first two digits, an anthropomorphic pile of poop and her most recent creation, the spray can avatar shown here.

According to Tesla, the spray can avatar works with your existing animations and as demonstrated in the video it shoots a fine particle mist on command. Additionally, if you have the artistic skills to make or otherwise acquire a replacement label, you can slap it directly over the one included for a touch of personalization.

You can pick up the spray can for a rather reasonable L$149 on the Second Life Marketplace, and browse Tesla's full (and cartoonishly NSFW) shop for plenty more unique alternatives to your everyday avatar. She also offers more than a few freebies there, including this itty bitty duck av in time for Easter.

OMG Tesla still has a store!?! I remember when she auctioned off those victorian boots way back in 2007/8 for RFL. I remember the buyer being the editor in chief of Second Style whose name escapes me. They went for L$95,000. Iris, weren't you managing editor for a while?

Second Style editor? That would have been Celebrity Trollop. L$95000....you could buy TWO of the furnished versions of the Dutchie Utrecht house for that. things were crazy back then.

Second Style had several editors over the years including myself (I took over after Celebrity left) though I definitely never dropped cash like that on my virtual wardrobe.
