interview | Kendra Coakes

Posted on December 9, 2009 by Ana Lutetia | No Comments

1 – How did you discover Second Life and what made you create an account?
When I first started playing SecondLife, I was watching this thing on Dateline NBC or whatever. Like all old men and woman meeting each other for pixel sex, and I thought it would be REALLY funny to mess with these people. It was, too! Until I realized I was the only female in those sex rooms. That’s when I found good friends that I stuck with.

2 – How did you come up with your Second Life name?
Well, it’s clear to everyone in the SecondLife community that I’m a realy classy broad, and one day before I started playing SL, I was prone in bed, hang over style, and the commercial for “The Girls Next Door” came on, and I saw this one girl with a fake nose and obnoxious laugh, so I tilted my bed spinning head up, and in a thoughtful tone I declared: “Wow, I’d really like to punch that girl in the face.” But instead, I took her name. Kendra. I’m a legacy, what can I say.

3 – Lots of people only stay inSL for a week or a month after creating an account. What made you stay and what motivates you to log back in?
When I first logged on, I immediately wanted to shoot myself in the chest. I found it so very, very stressful and everyone had a rack the size of my skull- it’s safe to say I started SL with a huge head. Anyway, I met this strapping Italian man Named Samuele Somethingsomething and he romanced me on top of that Help Island Volcano like I was his hot Tiki Mama. I just wanted to share that story as I find it funny, he made me want to quit because he was a scheezer but I have a really, really addicting personality, I know a shocker, and I just couldn’t stop for awhile. Now the only thing forcing me to click log on would be my furry lover, Daria Ezvalt. I only log on for the yiff.

4 – What have you been doing in SL? Tell us your story: what have you been up to or what have you created.
I just dick around a lot. I love just messing with people- I mean SL is where I let my inner kid romp around. My sense of humor is usually very, very dry and even when I use CAPS LOCKS!!!! in sentence, I’m usually not even excited. That really gets me in trouble because people who don’t know me think I’m being serious when I talk like “I’m a princess!” and hate me because of my ‘ego.’ As far as creating things? I don’t think I’ve created much of anything to the SL community, oh, besides lots and lots of sexual tension.

5 – Have you found, developed or improved any skills because of SL?
I actually gained a lot of personality, knowledge and patience from Second Life that I probably wouldn’t have gotten without it. I also learned that people not used to being popular, then thrust into that scenario, turn into ego-dicks. Definitely exhibited throughout SL. I learned not to judge people as much, too. Overall, the most important thing I’ve learned through SL is that body oil CAN be sexy if placed over the right tone of orange.

6 – Could you share a funny or awkward story that happened to you inSL?
I’ve really had so many ridiculous things happen to me in Second Life, it’s not even easy to pick out my favorite story. I have a plurk line where I share most of the stupid shit that happens to me. This is probably a let down, I know. I’ll get back to you on this one.

7 – What would you change or improve in Second Life?
I think a lot of people need to lighten up. One of my personal beliefs is that everyone should always just be making fun of themselves, and each other. Though, that’s a more world issue. In Second Life, I’d say if I could change anything it would be the very limited number of prim clits on the market.

8 – Can you share your current and/or future projects for SL?
I plan on running for Business Lead for Ecommerce in Linden Labs. I think I’m gonna do fine with it mainly because I think Colossus and I have the same amount of experiance in the business field and in subtlty.

9 – Have you ever had any issues whatsoever within Second Life? If so, how did you reported and was the feedback positive?
My mouth gets me in a loooot of trouble. I think it just wore off with time, any issues I’ve had. With the residents I had problems with, I just mercilessly make fun of them with my friends, and only them because I prevent drama like that.

10 – Is Second Life merely an online game or do you consider it more of a metaverse or a virtual world?
I consider it a Facebook with avatars. I’ve gotta break the mold of two nswers because I’m a maverick, you know the deal. I’m like the SL Sarah Palin just, a little smarter and without the penchant for serial Moose killings.

11 – Imagine a new resident asks for your help. What would do? What would you tell him/her?
It really depends how stupid the person is, if they’re naive, I’m gonna play with them for awhile and make them my slave. Don’t roll your eyes I’ve done it before. But if they’re chill and whatever, I’ll definitely make them a shape, get them a skin give’m some landmarks stuff like that.

12 – How would you describe yourself in one word?
Beautious.
