Gaia in a Newbie's Eyes
I'm a new Gaian slowly getting to know this huge community. This journal is about my Gaian journey: how a newbie sees the community, the economy and items, the avatars, and of course the people.
The anti-climax of reaching your dream
Thanks to a couple of donations and finding some good deals at the market, I was finally able to get my long-term dream avatar, this one:
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

However, I also got a demonstration of how tektek's layering differs from Gaia's. In other words, I realized my dream avatar was impossible. To be frank, I think Gaia's layering doesn't make any sense here:

1] The short black gloves won't layer with the long blue ones. What's up with that? Medical gloves and the short spirited gloves layer just fine, so of course I thought all short gloves on Gaia will layer over the long ones. Tsk, tsk.

2] The pearl bracelet won't layer with the purse. WTF? That must be one of the most illogical things about Gaia's avatar system. Basically, I guess this means the bracelet goes on the same layer as handheld items go. That doesn't make any sense.

I'm happy with my avatar at the moment, except I think the hands are a bit bare and that there should be more blue near the upper half. *sigh*

Lessons learned:
[x] Don't expect Gaia's layering to make sense.
