I was worried about that, too. Well, I've been in SL a fair amount for the past 2 months, and have managed to avoid all that, because I'm just not interested.
Last weekend, I went to a 2 hour live classical music performance, visited the "Second Louvre" with original art made my other players, explored recreations of New Orleans, Paris, a Japanese village, etc. But mostly, I've done a fairly hefty bit of "scripting", which is writing in the in-game programming language, and have created a product that is actually selling very, very well. (Yeah, it's geeky, but I enjoy it.)
I've only just started getting back to exploring, and really need to do a _tiny_ bit of shopping, so I can get out of my newbie clothes.
In case you're curious what kind of fashion stuff can end up in Second Life, this is the latest issue of one of the fashion magazines. All the pics are from in-game. Some of the images are a little... racy... ;) but others I find quite glamorous and fun: http://www.secondstyle.com/downloads/Second_Style_Issue6.pdf
I think the sex, gambling, etc. get a lot of the press, but it's easy enough to avoid if you're not interested. And, easy enough to find, if you want to as well. Just like in a real-life city :)
I'm NOT using "Bezoar" as my avatar in Second Life, btw. If you're wondering, it is precisely because SL has a part of the population and a public perception of being a bit too "adult" in nature, and I didn't really want people in SL to be able to track back to me in RL. But if you join SL and want to find me, just drop me a note here :) I just ask that you don't tell other people in SL who I am (like, I live in Boston, work in a particular very specific medical specialty, etc., which is enough to fully identify me in real life.)

I haven't even started to try and build anything yet, but had a good laugh changing my characters appearance. I still feel pretty lost in there though. :D

I know the feeling! :crazy: I should have known better then to start this crazy thing. I think I spent a good 4 hours on the tutorial and changing my appearance. I sent you a IM in game to find me. We can be lost together! :amazed:

ROFL, maybe I should have spent four hours as well! I'm not very happy with my appearance, but its fun trying to figure it out! Got your message too. ;)

I created a group called Yensid Wanderer's.
The description is: Sharing the love of the magic everywhere we wander. No BS, VMK
I'm not pretending to know exactly what this means or will do, but would love to have anyone join me! Come on out of hiding you closet SL'ers!

Just FYI, you need to get at least one other person to join the group in the next day or so, or the group will be automatically disbanded, and you'll be out L$100.
