Anshe's kinky past revealed
Anshe Chung, the Second Life real-estate magnate, who has become the poster girl of the virtual business world, got her start as an exotic masseuse, who used to run classes in virtual lovemaking.
In November, Anshe announced that she had accumulated computer-generated assets worth the equivalent of more than $US1 million (in real money), making her - according to her press release - the world's first virtual world millionaire.
The claims of the avatar's past have come to light after a series of attempts by her company, Anshe Chung Studios, to cajole blogs and websites into removing images and video of a recent attack on her by hackers backfired.
According to a post in the Valleywag blog today, Anshe worked as a "black mistress" and as an "escort" out of a place inside Second Life known as the Cannabis Cathedral.
Valleyway also points to a document posted on a Second Life forum called Second Citizen, which purports to be a screen grab from Second Life of an advertisement put out by Anshe in her earlier incarnation spruiking her services.
"If you are nice and generous to me like a real gentleman or lady I can be your private entertainer. I will be delighted to make you happy in many ways performing for you, providing you company during your travels or a tender massage in your home 
," the ad reads.
The ad lists a variety of services and prices. They range from "PG"-rated services - such as conversation and massage - costing 500 Linden dollars an hour to "M"-rated services - such as "love" and "black mistress" starting from 1000 Linden dollars an hour.
Linden dollars are the in-world currency, so named because a company called Linden Lab owns Second Life. The currency is fully convertible into $US at the current exchange rate of $267 Lindens to $US1.
