I gave up and mostly use camping and some dance pads.<BR/><BR/>I took your advice and made sure to use demo's when buying some clothes. I was going to wait a little longer but I think it really helps in game because people think your not such a new player.Roxie Wingtipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744991376854547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167050003120712473.post-87418186232258929042007-11-07T15:30:00.000-05:002007-11-07T15:30:00.000-05:00I tried a survey once.

And the (secondary) email address I used is now overrun with commercial spam.<BR/><BR/>There are several high-quality/low-cost or free places that have skins, clothes, and hair, when you're ready to use those hard-earned L$ to improve your appearance. I recommend Sarah Nerd, the GNUbie Store, and Free Dove. I also recently found a whole sim with low-cost discontinued lines. It's gamer's something. (I'm sorry I'm at work, so I can neither give you LMs nor double check locations in SL!)<BR/><BR/>And when you start looking at skin and hair, don't forget to go to major designers and use their demos. You'll learn a lot about how skin and hair work, and even shapes, assuming you can go somewhere private to try them all on and play with appearance sliders. And if you're trying to only use L$ you've raised in SL, you'll want to make sure every purchase counts, so that makes demos even more important if you do consider buying a full-price item.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, and welcome to SL blogging!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
