Fashion of Second Life

Second life. So many clothing options! Should i go the the kickass obama t-shirt or the badass chestpiece with spikes stickin out of it. Eventually you will decide to put on the chestpiece. Why? One word. Status. The bigger/more colorful your clothing is, the more powerful you seem. Why does this matter? You have a sense of pride for your character when you have those hude spikes protruding from you shoulders. Maybe you think you look more fearsome with dragon wings. Maybe it shows wealth. Sure, you can get free stuff on SL, but the cool stuff costs money. Its a way of sayin,"Yea, i've got money and i have enough of it to spend on worthless virtual clothes that make my character a badass." Second life has a status ladder, the cooler clothes that you have, the higher up on he ladder you are.
