Yeah I'm familiar with that game, but the thing with second life is that it's an MMO requiring a monthly fee. I've learned from personal experience it's not such a hot idea to get into an MMO with a monthly fee, because those games are designed to keep you addicted and playing for a long long time.
Actually, it DOESN'T require a monthly fee or spending any money at all… or at least, it doesn't HAVE to. You have three options when joining; one is free, one may cost money, and one will cost money. Option #1: you get a "No Payment Info On File" account, in which you have a completely free account. If you want to customize your avatar, you'll need to rely on whatever's in your default inventory, freebies, gifts from friends, and objects that you make yourself. You don't have to fret about spending money in real life, but you can't do as much in Second Life. Option #2: get a "Payment Info On File" account (Also called "Basic Membership"), in which you can use your credit card to purchase "Lindens" or "Linden Dollars" (The official currencey of Second Life). You don't need to use your credit card when you get this sort of account, but it's nice to have the option. It gives you a bit more freedom as a result; just watch your spendings, just like in real life. Option #3: getting a full premium account. THIS is the one that costs a monthly fee, but in exchange, you get to own land, and do with it as you please. Build a house, a store, a hotel, a theme park, or even rent out space to people who don't have their own land. This option allows you the most customization in SL, as you can create your own environment, but it costs more money.
If you just want to hang around as a buff woman, I suggest going with Option #2 and just don't use your credit card for anything but getting your muscular avatar. Simple? Simple.
