To describe myself is to limit myself. I am a Renaissance woman in real life, and that extends to SL. Founder and sole proprietor of Mer Betta, Ms.O.Lei-ny, Ancient Visions, and Morphing Portraits by Opal Lei. See Picks for details.
Keeping my friends list tight. Customers: Please join my group or subscribo.
Top Picks
- • Morphing Portraits: The Human Behind the Avatar For some of us, SL and RL are separate worlds. For others, SL is an extension of their RL. The rest fall somewhere in between. But SL is about meeting people. And in meeting people, we create relationships -- romances, friendships, business connections. Even virtual relationships create emotions and attachments. And those emotions and attachments are as real as we are human. It is not our avatars that fall in love; it is not our avatars that get sentimental; it is not our avatars that grieve when loved ones in SL are gone. It is the human behind the avatar reaching out to the human behind another avatar. A soul touching another soul. You can view samples of my work inside the glass house. Entrance is on the bridge side. Click one of the morphing portraits for an information notecard. (No, that's not my picture in the logo.)

- Leave me be... ... if you think SL is a game, because it isn't to me and my heart is not a plaything. ... if you don't want drama, because drama arises from strong emotions and, when I love, there *are* strong emotions. ... if all you see is the beauty of my avatar, because my avatar is merely a product of my creativity. Would you claim you loved me if you fell in love with a piece of furniture I created?

- · SPAMMERS & VAMPIRES Read Me VAMPIRES: If you think biting me is "fun". then you'd understand if I think shooting you with a silver bullet is "fun". You have been warned. SPAMMERS: I believe in the Golden Rule: Unsolicited notecards and inventory items will be returned *tenfold*. And, if you invite me to your nightclub's group just because you found my name in a totally unrelated group, please know that I will return the favor with an invitation to my group "SLoony Bin Residents" and your title will be "IDIOTIC SPAMMER".
- · custom work I am reluctant to agree to custom jobs. And I doubt that people would be willing to pay my rates or to agree to my terms anyway. However, I am very open to product suggestions, which I would implement based on several factors: ease of implementation, potential market size, competition. I won't bother recreating and selling something that's already out there unless I can improve on it significantly. But if you insist on custom work... Rates: * a minimum of US$50/hr for any kind of work. Time charged includes consultation and customer support afterwards, although I might be generous with it. * Rates go up to US$75/hr for rude clients; US$250/hr or more and a US$1,000 retainer for obnoxious clients. :D Terms: * You can get either Copy or Transfer. Never both. * You can get Mod permissions on prims and clothing. Never on scripts, unless it's a very basic script. * I retain all copyrights.
