Kuro Neko – Marsha’s Second Life Interviews

OK, here’s the thing…

As she is constantly bugging me and threatening to ruin my good name, here is Polly Pavlova from Skin Deep exposed!

Polly Pavlova: Ok so what do I do now? I have my martini and a hat, I’m good to go.
Kuro Neko: Would you like to sit on a kitty?
Polly Pavlova: is this a trick question?
Kuro Neko: No.
Polly Pavlova: Wheeee! And I’m not even spilling my martini, it’s fantastic!

OK, Polly let’s stop messing about.

Kuro Neko: Ok, so when did you decide to start making eyes?
Polly Pavlova: Actually eyes were the first thing I made, so umm, about 2 years ago.
Kuro Neko: What was your first design and how long did you spend on it?
Marsha Ling waits for her freebie
Polly Pavlova: Heh, my very first design was a hand drawn eye, it wasn’t very realistic. So, I started using real eyes, Maximillion Grant (Polly’s partner and business associate) was teaching me Photoshop at the time and that’s what I learned on adding details to real eyes for use in SL.
Kuro Neko: I see. So, you scanned your own face and then cut out the eyes?
Polly Pavlova: Well no, first I cut out my eyes and tried to put them in the scanner but it was hard to find blind, so I went back to surfing the web.
Kuro Neko: ok, I just had lunch, thanks for making me feel sick.
Polly Pavlova:
Kuro Neko: So far, what has been your most popular eye?
Kuro Neko: Don’t say, “my left one”.
Polly Pavlova: *laughs*
Polly Pavlova: Well my most popular eye is brown, and the twinkle eye, which isnt really an eye but an eye accessory.
Kuro Neko: Yes my next question was about that. I heard that you are the founder and creator of the twinkle eye. how popular did that make you?
Polly Pavlova: Hehe, the twinkle eye is pretty popular, in fact it’s the most popular thing I sell. It was a little idea I came up with, to be honest I never thought it would take off like it did, but at the time there was nothing like it.
Polly Pavlova: Ok, looking back asaying brown is most popular is pretty boring.
Kuro Neko: You can change your mind. Like, say the red alien eye.
Polly Pavlova: Well no sadly it is the brown. I use a program called SL sales tracker that tells me these things.
Kuro Neko: Do you?
Polly Pavlova: Yeah.
Kuro Neko: What are your favourite eyes?
Polly Pavlova: I have over 80 eyes! I love the anime eyes
Kuro Neko: Yes, they are the only anime eyes I have seen in SL, you must be very proud.
Polly Pavlova: I want to do more like them.
Polly Pavlova: I thought about doing prim eyes, but I think its hard for everyone to fit. Sometimes I see them and they poke out the bottom of people eyes.
Kuro Neko: Well, I have seen many people with one blue and one green eye.
Polly Pavlova: Yes, I only ever did one prim eye set, it was for someone who wanted one eye to have a scar.
Kuro Neko: How often do you change your own eyes?
Polly Pavlova: Hmm pretty often, depending on what I am wearing.
Polly Pavlova: I have heart shaped ones I put out for valentines, and clovers for St. Paddy’s Day.
Kuro Neko: You could make season eyes. Daisy pupil for spring. Sunshine pupil for summer.
Polly Pavlova: That’s the new ones I am working on.
Kuro Neko: Leaf for fall and snowflake for winter.
Polly Pavlova: Hehe snowflake is a good idea.
Kuro Neko: So your ao is similar to mine.
Polly Pavlova: This is a lostdog AO. I’ve had the same one since I started.
Kuro Neko: Yes I got a couple from there, I made my own, put it together.
Polly Pavlova: i’m pretty boring
Kuro Neko: No , you are very cute looking If I was a lesbian I’d be so hitting on you.
Polly Pavlova: *Blushes* well if I was a lesbian I’d be into it.
Kuro Neko: Cool. You can put that in your quotes.
Polly Pavlova: Hehe I just might.
Polly Pavlova: I had a funny quote for a long time, from a customer who wanted a shape but no money. He said he would trade me a tiny squirrel, and more.
Kuro Neko: Wow, lucky you.
Polly Pavlova: Yeah I wanted to know what “and more” was. I mean, how can you beat a tiny squirrel?
Kuro Neko: With a baseball bat.
Polly Pavlova: *Laughs her ass off*
Polly Pavlova: So anything else exciting I can tell you about eyes?
Kuro Neko: Well yes.
Polly Pavlova: *strikes a pose* I hate this pose, it looks like I am sniffing my pits.
Kuro Neko: Quite.
Polly Pavlova: Hmm bloody eyes and pit smelling, this is a great interview.
Kuro Neko: Have you ever had a pavlova in your face?
Polly Pavlova: Umm……I’m not sure how to answer that.
Kuro Neko: Yes or no. Simple enough.
Polly Pavlova: I dont think so?
Kuro Neko: Oh you’re lucky.
Polly Pavlova: Isnt pavlova the last name of a russian ballet dancer?
Kuro Neko: No, its a dessert.
Polly Pavlova: Well let me tell you my lame name story. See, when I joined SL, didnt know you couldn’t have any last name you wanted. Originally I was going to be Polly Prissypants, the name of Cartman’s doll in a South Park episode.
Kuro Neko: OK, go on.
Polly Pavlova: Anyway needless to say they didnt have it.
Kuro Neko: And…?
Polly Pavlova: Well, that’s it. I said it was a story, not a good story.
Kuro Neko: Mine is funnier.
Polly Pavlova: Brady Bunch?
Kuro Neko: No you are thinking of Marcia.
Polly Pavlova: Hehe.
Kuro Neko: I’m named after my next door neighbour who is a thai prostitute.
Polly Pavlova: Ahhh.
Kuro Neko: My real name is like the worst name in the world
Polly Pavlova: OK….
Kuro Neko: I’m named after a popular american sweet treat.
Polly Pavlova: Uhhhh…..
Polly Pavlova: Pudding?
Kuro Neko: no, you are thinking of Pudding Fong from Tokyo Mew Mew.
Kuro Neko: my name is *censored for the purpose of this blog*
Polly Pavlova: No it isn’t.
Kuro Neko: Yes it is.
Kuro Neko: Well its not my *real* name. My real name is *bleep*.
Kuro Neko: What do you do for work in real life?
Polly Pavlova: I used to work for a veterinarian.
Kuro Neko: As a test subject?
Polly Pavlova: No.
Kuro Neko: Is Polly your real name?
Polly Pavlova: No, my real name is *illegible*.
Polly Pavlova: Though sometimes even Max slips up and calls me Polly in RL.
Kuro Neko: I need a photo with you Polly Prissypits.
Polly Pavlova: OK. Can I hold my martini?
Kuro Neko: No, I would advise against it.
Polly Pavlova: Bah.
Kuro Neko: ‘Cause it’s not scripted, and it might look weird.
Polly Pavlova: OK where do you want me?
Kuro Neko: In my bed baby.
Polly Pavlova: OK…wait…we aren’t gay.
Kuro Neko: I am bi.
Polly Pavlova: I almost slipped and had a gay moment there
Kuro Neko: Polly Pissypants.
Polly Pavlova: Hehe.
