Shades of Grey -- Featuring Evolve, blackLiquid, Finesmith, Chop Zuey and [Underscore]

I like the fact that there is no such thing as perfect. Many of us have at one time or another read or heard a story about a Utopian settlement, a Utopian government, a place where perfection did actually exist. Unfortunately, those stories remain fantasy by excellent science fiction and fantasy authors.

Maybe it's a good thing. We're a creature with a great ability to think and learn and change as well as change the world around us. We might want the perfect crisp lines of our world, all lined up, all easy to understand, and what we end up seeing looks more like the watery reflection in this photo.

Recently, I had a conversation with an artsy friend. He's taking some of his artistic design and uploading to Second Life so that he can then use his art to create men's clothing. I thought it was a great way to use his talent. One thing I noticed that didn't quite fit was a stark white in his designs.

I shared with him a small anecdote that I'd also heard told as an anecdote, perhaps more legend reality and perhaps credited to the person who said it or perhaps not. I don't know if she actually said this, but the story begins with a question to Finesmith designer Yula Finesmith.

Someone tried her jewelry and asked, "Why are your items not mirror images, balanced on the x, y and z axis? This piece here looks larger on the left than the right." Her answer was said to have been something like this, "I don't do perfect. Nothing in our world is perfect..." and it's true.

Maybe Ms. Yula said this. Maybe it was someone else. The essence of the story meant a lot to me and continues to be something I think about when I'm trying items in Second Life as a consumer, sometimes as a builder and yes, as a Finesmith shopper. It makes sense. In my opinion, only God does 'perfect.'

It relates to the story about this man's new clothing in this manner. We know mentally in our minds that white represents every color in the world and that black represents a lack of color. They are both absolutes. Absolutes are a lot like perfection. They simply cannot exist.

In our world, we actually see thousands upon millions of shades of grey. Our optic nerve takes all the coding and translates it to what we call color. I suggested to Mr. Trav that he might add a touch of grey to all his whites and all his blacks and the clothing would look and sell better in this Second Life.
