Yeah, it's
THOSE annoying ads that
MUST be plastered onto each Xanga page in the ads section.
Even when I was 11 years old with my
little 6th grade Xanga, IMVU was everywhere....
except the avatars in the ads were a bit more covered up. But, hey!
It looked interesting!
So one day, my little 6th grade self decided to click on the ad to see what all this IMVU was. I was brought to the IMVU homepage, which turned out to be a "world" where all you do is chat with other customizable avatars.
The first thing I noticed was that all of the avatars available for me to pick were highly sexualized. You know;
really skinny, big butt, big boobs. And the clothing that you got to pick was also sexualized;
tight, short, and...tight. After I made my avatar (
a tall girl with humongous big brown eyes [HUMONGOUS!], exceptionally long legs, skinny as hell, perfectly angled cheekbones..you get the point), and put some clothes on her (low jeans and a tank top), I explored the IMVU world.
At first, I didn't really understand how it all worked. The IMVU homepage said that it was the "
perfect place to meet friends," so I decided to click around.
I was finally brought to a chat "room". My avatar was plopped from a white background to this "chat room," which was basically a
dark club with purple chairs and drinks on the table.
After 3 seconds, a window popped up saying "
misterboy102 would like to chat with you! Accept or Decline?" Hmm.. I thought. Hey, IMVU was a place to make friends! So I quickly clicked "
Accept".
Suddenly, a cute avatar boy was dropped from heaven and placed in a purple seat across from my avatar.
(Try to imagine the following chat conversation in little bubbles that float above your head...) misterboy102: hi
noreenlovesrainbows: hi!
misterboy102: asl
noreenlovesrainbows: ....
noreenlovesrainbows: what?
misterboy102: asl
noreenlovesrainbows: what's...asl?
misterboy102: age/sex/location
noreenlovesrainbows: Umm... I don't think I should tell you...-
misterboy102 has left the room-
Okay. So that didn't go well. Suddenly, another window popped up! "
zacbecool45 would like to chat with you!" I clicked "
Accept."
zacbecool45: yo
noreenlovesrainbows: hi!
zacbecool45: you're cute
noreenlovesrainbows: haha.....you mean my avatar?
zacbecool45: yea, you're cute.
noreenlovesrainbows: but that's not even me..
zacbecool45: i like your shirt.
noreenlovesrainbows: uhhh..thanks, i guess...
zacbecool45: and your hair. i love blondes ;)
noreenlovesrainbows: That's not me. And I'm not blonde.
zacbecool45: I love your jeans, too. sexy as hell.-
noreenlovesrainbows has left the room-
Okay, that didn't go well either. Another window popped up saying "
You are now being transported to 'Mystery Place'" My avatar was dropped onto a dark empty rooftop. A window popped up and said "
joshb26 would like to chat with you!" I decided to give one last try, and clicked "
Accept."
joshb26: yo
noreenlovesrainbows: yo
joshb26: wazzupppp
noreenlovesrainbows: nothing much. you?
joshb26: I'm a crazy boy. just so you know
noreenlovesrainbows: hehe...why would I need to know that?
joshb26: I dunno. Just thought you needed to know. ;)
noreenlovesrainbows: Ha.....okay....
joshb26: dayyymmm girl you fineeee
noreenlovesrainbows: fda;fdjka;lfdka what?!
joshb26: your skin is so smooth
noreenlovesrainbows: duh? It's a freaking avatar.
joshb26: how old are you?
noreenlovesrainbows: how old are YOU?
joshb26: mmmmm i like girls who play hard to get
noreenlovesrainbows: ...seriously. how old are you.
joshb26: I'm 19
noreenlovesrainbows: and I'm 11.-
joshb26 has left the room-
At first, I didn't really understand how it all worked. The IMVU homepage said that it was the "perfect place to meet friends," so I decided to click around.

BLOLOLOL.
LOL. I thought it was like the SIMs but with really bad avatars and online.
And the adds for them nowadays are so sexual! WTF is right!
LOL! That last conversation was hilarious.
Of course IMVU has to advertise itself as a place to "meet friends." I don't think they'd be allowed to post ads that say you can meet horny guys who get turned on by 3D avatars.
HAHA! My ex made me get IMVU, he liked to role play chat with people, I just thought it was weird..
i had an IMVU account for one day. okay. like three hours.
i'd just gotten my own underdressed avawhore and went to one of the "rooms." Within 10 seconds I was approached by another... avatar... and promptly got hit on by a 12 year old boy.
there is nothing less sexy than that.
LOLL WTFF.
i hate those IMVU ads ==
LMFAO .
wtf.
The girl in the pink's eyes look like venus flytraps.
That sounds like a sad place to be.
Waiting for this blog entry to load I was trying to figure out what IMVU could possibly stand for, and my best guess was In My Vampire Underwear. I think that dating service would be more interesting.
hahahahahaha love it. Absolutely fabulous!
her eyes are freaking me the eff out.
LOL there are two ads currently on this page for IMVU as I am typing this comment. It's like Sims only ... relationship-y. hahah
@Zombies_Ate_My_Neighbors@xanga - Hahah..of all things...In My Vampire Underwear? LoL!!
ahhahahhaha. i'm going on there just to fuck with people now.
can I say EPIC WIN or what xD I swear I'm gonna make a girl avatar and play around in there some day :D time to scare the living shit out of some 50 year old pervs
Cyber sexy time FTW
LOL.
And I also love how there's an IMVU ad right below your post.
I had IMVU for maybe three or four days and definitely met some creepers on there.
Same thing on omegle.com
creeeepy.
i love that they judged you by your avatar. i couldnt find an avatar in any game that looks like me lol
Thank goodness you are a smart girl... because all of those conversations looked like the start of an after-school special about internet safety. The last convo was the funniest...
Hahahahaha
Dude, that was HILARIOUS... It's funny that all these guys think that your avatar is really you, does that mean THEIR avatar look exactly like themselves (they could be pimple infested, hygenically unsound, living in a hole in the wall or worse, 80 yr old man bored in his bedroom)?!! And of course "your" skin would be smooth, it's DIGITALLY DESIGNED to be so!! hahaha
ROFL goodgame!
aw poor girl
I'm on there right now, after a 10min installation and registration really easy.... I'll play it tomorrow see if I can have some "interesting" convos with some creepos of course I made a girl avatar for that purpose :D
