An attribute expresses a value and is associated with a person. Attributes provide a default value, but in most cases, individuals can revise an attribute’s default value. Custom attributes become personal extensions, often visible even if one doesn’t have intimate access to the user’s default.
Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose,
Loveliness extreme.
Extra gaiters,
Loveliness extreme.
Sweetest ice-cream.

Poem by Gertrude Stein, Sacred Emily
I would never have the guts to have plastic surgery, so I use expensive French products instead.
I’m going to enhance my violence attribute by buying lots of weapons and a flamethrower. Power me up +5 in the violence capability department.
Hmmm, such a tricky subject. Frankly, I think certain physical enhancements, like plastic surgery done for pure aesthetics can be overemphasized in our culture… but if getting that kind of surgery helps one feel more self confident and brings one happiness, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s even a good thing so long as one cultivates other aspects of one’s self and doesn’t overemphasize and become over-reliant on looks and appearance for self-worth.
I’m going to step off of my pedestal and punch myself in the face now.
“intimate access to the user’s default”… I like that.
ya gotta love that appearance mode, though, where you can actually tweak those attributes to your heart’s content… granted, it’s limited to self-tweaking, but… (a little second life lingo). smiles.
The donkey prefers to stay as natural as possible….
This is why I’m a big fan of men who wear eyeliner.
That is all.
what about ‘extenz’ do you really think it makes a man’s willy longer? if so, that could be dangerous lolol
I just want to be a little bit taller.
I just want to be better in english…
Brilliant! What I’d like to ‘extend’ has no name, Love this!
I have quoted the late great Frank Zappa before and I will do it again:
“Anything over a handful is wasted.”
Done it again. A forte for old grumpy men. Forgot…..
What…..?
The mountain shot
Nicely done
Oh Seraphic one
I’ve been thinking of having my ear lobes enhanced.
attribute = attitude?
No revisions being made to my physical attributes/values – default or otherwise. What you see is what you get – “loveliness extreme.”
People are so vain…. getting Pl.surgery to improve themselves. Myself… I just stick to my tattoos the sunbed and teeth whitening :-0
crazy cloud image! Love!
It’s all as ephemeral as a passing summer breeze.
Ick, i am not a fan of enhanced breasts. They no longer move naturally. Its a bit disturbing, like a life size barbie. I got a good laugh about they eyes though. Very funny.
I first offered him a new extenz when met Nick-my-Nikon – a 18-200mm (wow-wow) and you know what ?? He damn preferred his new tiny one – 35mm – and guess what, even more stunning ?? So do i !

J’aime l’ironie de ce petit comic, les “enhancements” artificiels sont horribles

I think stiletto-shoes takes me to higher dimensions

I love the way you take on all sorts of topics. Very smartly done.
So, do I
) If needed why not ?
Thank God I have no need to extend/enhance anything.
But I would love to improve some things in me. Say, I’d love to have a built-in spell checker in my brain. 
Enjoyed your post. Thanks.
WOW!!! Now what do I say? I am seriously speechless.
But one thing that your post makes me think right now is – why do I go to gym? And if I keep it simple to answer… I love to have a properly toned body. Straight stomach if not six packs… some muscles around arms and legs and chest. Kind of makes you feel happy when you look at yourself in the mirror. Perhaps one of the greatest feeling is to be happy about your own attributes.
Thanks for this, I only knew the first line of the Gertrude Stein poem, and I loved reading the whole thing.
The landscape photo at the top is fantastic – great light and clouds! On the other question – I have no idea?!!
From a philosophical / metaphysical point of view, attributes are nothing more than accidents and, as we all know accidents are the perceptual qualities of something that do not affect the essence of the thing.
agree on your thoughts! well done
Attributes, like an avatar or a video game.. Nice, I like how your eyes keep getting bigger
This evening, I have the same sky outside!
A sign?
