Lark Knows Best!
Hey y’all!
I’m Larkbird Parx. A 17 year veteran of Second Life and all its wonder and pitfalls.
Welcome to “Lark Knows Best” – you ask, and I’ll find answers to your burning questions about life in this alternate world we love.
Let’s get started with our 1st letter…
Dear Lark:
I’ve been a resident of SL for 5 years now, and I am living a double life. I have an alternate avatar who is seeing the man of my dreams. The problem is I am also in a long term relationship with a good man who cares deeply for me with my main avi. I know this can’t go on. How do I choose?
Signed – Torn
Dear Torn:
Well, Torn, this is a common theme in SL, and perhaps the answer lies in the immortal words of George Thorogood, ‘Who do you Love?’. Look into your heart and make your choice, but remember, some people lose diamonds while searching for pretty pebbles.
Dear Lark,
I like to avi watch. What’s the best place to look at people in SL?

Dear Voyeur:
Don’t we all! I suggest live music concerts. Everyone’s showing their inner selves—dancing, chatting, or pretending to be AFK while secretly scrolling TikTok. Go hear the vibrant SL music scene and enjoy the weird and wonderful ways we strut our stuff.
Dear Lark:
My RL boyfriend says my SL avi is too fat. I hate that! What should I do?
Signed – Chubby in Love
Dear Chubby:
Your avi is your canvas—tall, short, curvy, or skinny as a toothpick. No one has the right to judge your pixels. Channel your inner Popeye and say: “I yam what I yam and that’s all that I yam.” Then tell him to get a Second Life.
