Shoe Report – Addendum p.2

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Another nice place to buy men’s footwear is Jeepers Creepers. They sell different labels like Trashville, Rigger, …

ugh, JCS, Clog, Quixote, …

Oslo, or Hawkes and Healey among others.

But my favourite at the moment are their black Carl Perkins’.

For 400 L $ you get a pair of really well-designed and good-looking shoes!

Btw: They sell women’s shoes, too!


Not to forget:
I also love to do some window shopping at Savvy Avvy’s from time to time since they have some shoes I always admire, especially the dark burgandy version.

They are 300 L $ a pair. Maybe someone will give them to me for Xmas. Here’s hoping!

Kanja’s New Home In The Skies

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

A week ago I went to take a look at Kanja Sands’ new piece of land. A beautiful spot in the mountains.

She has built her new house in a skybox high above the ground.

It’s designed to look like a typical loft apartment with a beautiful view of the New York skyline.

Kanja is not only an interior decorator in SL but in RL, too, …

and has painstakingly recreated the atmosphere of living in an old converted industrial building …

as in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.

Kanja has her own helicopter shuttle service for her guests …

who then teleport upstairs to her roof terrace to enjoy a beautiful starfilled night.

Maybe she’ll decorate your home sometime.

CU in SL!

Derek’s Ultimate Freebie Report

Friday, November 16th, 2007

When you are being born into Second Life (SL) nowadays, you may no longer be naked like in the old days, still, you are not exactly making a fashion statement either in those basic outfits they provide newbies with. (I’m not talking about the CSI NY avatars who are better equipped at birth with prim hair and prim shoes.)

Your skin and shape, too, look like the literal dime a dozen, so no wonder you want to change that as fast and preferably as cheap as possible – at least if you don’t have hundreds of Linden Dollars (L $) to spend.

Now, there are lots of places where you can get freebie stuff in SL. Use your SL search function and type in “free”. From the occasional t-shirt to the complete outfit including skin, shape, and hair there is a lot to choose from, especially for girls.

Here are a few of my favourite freebie places. Go take a look to see if they don’t have some decent looking clothes, shoes, hair, and maybe even skin for you, too.

Everybody who prefers to pick up freebie clothes, sneakers, and stilettos by the dozens should visit any of the following locations:

01. Freebie Store ForoU


Remember:
Not every item may be free at every location but before you spend even a single Linden Dollar I’d take a look around to see if you can’t find that specific item for free at a different place.

02. Freebie Planet


03. Freebie Warehouse 5,000+


04.
At Freebie Dungeon you can rake in crates of the usuual freebies but also stuff not found elsewhere. Look for CDs, a face lamp HUD for better pictures, free avatars, textures, etc.

05. Now who said that freebie outlets must look cheap. To shop freebies in an elegant atmosphere go the Free Dove store. They have some nice brown and grey leather shoes there for gents and lots of stuff for the girls.

06. Another nice but very small freebie location is Boulevard Mystique where they have placed one rack filled with freebies in each of their regular shops for ladies and gents. Men will find 14 free, hip, Gecko Label outfits, including a tuxedo, and one pair of shoes. The ladies’ store is situated right next to the gents’ store.

07. If u still haven’t found everything you were looking for you might visit Vienna High-Quality Zero L$ Freebie Store with its freebie mall to complete your shopping spree. Have fun! Guys, get yourself some bad-ass Ray Bans over there – very 70s!

Now, anyone not yet tired of filling his inventory with free stuff may want to try these locations too:

08. The L$1 Shop at Enkythings. By the way, a lot of their stuff is free!

09. The GNUbie Store

Enjoy, and don’t forget to clear your SL-cache from time to time!
