Look at Shiki

Another great way to get some amazing clothes without spending a fortune in SL is to join store groups. Most of these will call themselves VIP groups although a word of warning, some groups will try to charge you to join ( between 50L$ –  500 L$). I found a brilliant  group that belongs to Shiki. This store’s clothes are quite expensive, but join the Group and you can get clothes for men and woman that are all free! You even get an update every month when another gift is out. So go have a look at Shiki.

Look At Phoenix Rising

pheonix rising_003I found this really cool shop called Phoenix Rising, the shop is laid out really well but the best part is everything I clapped my eye’s on was only L$25. The clothes are really well made, the shop is very clean, sleek and modern so I hope you all get to pop in there and enjoy it as much as I did.

Coolmama is wearing an outfit called the Motive Red Phoenix rising and guess what that complete outfit was L$25 and for me Phoenix Rising Mason jeans and my top was called Phoenix Rising Push shirt in teal this came to a total cost of L$50

Venturing into the Sn@tch Bargain Pit.

Today, we ventured into the long-lost bargain bit of S@tch City, a wonderful place, with a magical store called Sn@tch. It is a store that we’ve wrote about in our little Goth/Industrial culture in Second Life article, we did last year around this time. Anyway we are revisit store because like it updates its mech once in a while and while the store has all these amazing clothes and accessories, who could give up a bargain?

Look at Koko

Sunday came around and I was doing window shopping Second Life, until I got an Instant Message from one of my friends telling me about a store. Obviously I jumped on the nearest Teleport over and landed in a place called Koko which has a main store, an out let and a newcomer friendly store.

The Newcomer store has free skins for those residents that are under 6 month old. Skins can also be bought for 99L$.  The store has also a variety of Eyelashes, Eyes and Hair which range from 10L$ – 50L$. The Main store has a great range of shoes and clothes that are priced between 49L$ – 300L$ and more. The Outlet store has shoes, gowns and other outfits from 49L$ – 99L$ although some of the items in this store are quite pricey.

All in all Koko is a great store for newcomers and older residents with lots of group gifts. It’s even better if you enjoy 80′s music while you’re shopping.

Here Comes the Bride: An SL Wedding

A few weeks ago I introduced the Weddings of Second Life, now its time to show what a Second Life Wedding looks like and how to get one. Of course you need to be engaged to be married first of all and you can’t do that without being an Second Life Relationship. If you haven’t realized yet time in Second Life moves fast and as soon as you first that special someone you share a connection with. It isn’t long before you are asking her/him for their hand in marriage. Here is the Second Life Wedding/ Partnering of June Carlson and Smorkola Resident very much in love allowed us to document their Second Life Wedding. This is the Second Life Wedding that has been done on a Budget, using only clothes from the store Grumble Grumble and their wedding venue Eversong. We used the gift cards that are already available through the in store Mini & Midnight Mania boards which are available to Grumble’s ever-growing shoppers.

Grumble Chapel 750L$

 

As Bride and Groom stand at the aisle exchanging their vows to each other you can see that the traditional ceremony in Second Life isn’t much different from a real life one. Bride Maids, Maid of Honor  with the best man and grooms men with families on each side.

Usually the Bridal parties’ outfits would cost a bit more than 1000 dollars each:

Satin Cascade Cocktail Dress (Pink) : 125L$

Cascade Gown ( White) : 150L$

Taking to the dance floor the Groom men’s change their outfits for a more less formal vest suit:

Men’s vest ( different colours) : 85L$

Men’s dress shoes : 60L$

Complete suit (from original photograph) 300L$

The most expensive thing in the whole wedding is meant to be the wedding dress. Not in this one. It looks awesome and happens to be the second most expensive thing in this wedding.

Victorian Gown White including Veil, Pearl Necklace and open toe Stiletto: 425L$

We will like to introduce to you, Mr and Mrs Carlson. The total tally for their wedding would be (without the Grumble gift cards) 2455L$.

Your Second Life wedding can cost as much or as little as you want. It all depends on how much money you have to spend.

(Big thanks to Grumble to letting is do our Grumble Wedding!) 

Smooth Jazz at Bella Vida Jazz Club

The sounds of the decades are flowing through the walls of this Jazz Club. One thing you have to love about SL is that it is a very musical place. Every where you look you can find, clubs, and pubs that range musically, from classic rock to modern, from blues to hip hop, from classical to jazz all are available in Second Life. We have looked at classic rock, urban and Metal clubs before., but never a Jazz Club. Personally I am a firm lover of Jazz and my first SL Jazz club will forever be Phatcats, but that review will come sometime later. For now lets concentrate on Bella Vida Jazz Club.

Smooth Jazz of the Decades flow through this amazing club, I happen to come to this club on a day that there was a live artists. The fabulous and funny Wytchwhisper Sadofsky, who lit up the stage. When there aren’t any live artists running around being just incredible and making you tap your feet to their tunes, Bella Vida slows down with the sounds of the old favourites, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and new favourites like Norah Jones.

Any good club must have friendly people and Bella Vida is OK in that department. If you are a music lover and want a place with a relaxing atmosphere this is the place for you.
