The Free Dove ~ Fashion Freebies Galore

This should be your first stop when departing newbie-hood! The free dove has a nice selection of fashion forward freebies ($0L) for both guys and dolls. You will need to know how to use your camera view to get around here. It can get a bit lag ridden. So here's a map I put together in a few minutes to help ya out.



Here's some of the highlights (the reason you will want to know how to zoom in or out or use camera view is to get all the hair/hair vouchers offered):



All the tables are labeled. And there's usually someone hanging around to help anyone out with questions. Unfortunately, according to the owner of the free dove she is not accepting anymore freebies from store owners, except for men. So I'm guessing another place will soon be the IT spot for freebie fashions.

The wings pictured below are also free from Curious Kitties and shown with a gl kimono found in the freebie section at Bare Rose ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bare%20Rose/186/27/29 ). The hair is from Bewitched Hair ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lemon%20Island/129/170/28 ) which is having a hunt UNTIL 4 OR 5 PM TODAY and whose sister store House of Heart ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tropical%20Escape/128/68/24 ) is also having a hunt. Find 12 boxes at each location for a total of 24 free hair styles.



More...


I was checking out different orientation centers and the following outfit is from the Walker Orientation ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Walker%20Orientation/119/102/44 ) sim. I just clicked on options until the outfit/skin/hair/shoes were offered to me, so no need to feel as though you have to speak Japanese to participate. This is the skin used in the two pictures above and the one immediately below. You'll also find a ton of avatars from a cartoon movie and a couple of avatar options if you go through the orientation building.



If you haven't checked out SL5BD, yet you may want to. You'll find a lot of freebies nestled in with a bunch of exhibits. Here's the freebies I found:

A Hunting We Shall Go

One of many fun events that takes place in sl are hunts. Right now the MIA sim is hosting a black and white hunt.



What is a hunt? Well it's like an Easter egg hunt. You spend time wandering around a sim (or maybe even several sims) finding eggs (or in this case black and white boxes). Each box is filled with a free ($0) item. MIA is known for hosting hunts and it's a nice sim to wander around. If you've only been to the shops you are missing out on a lot. So if you haven't... why not go on and try MIA's black and white hunt?

And while you are enjoying the MIA sim why not check out there Free4U store:



A little birdie told me that there is going to be another hunt going on the last week of this month at the Knucklehead's location.




So keep an eye out for some more treats at the Knucklehead's location... there are going to be 20 stores donating to this hunt.

NCI ~ New Citizens Plaza

If you want to learn more about almost anything that goes on in Second Life (sl) checking out NCI is an excellent place to start. There are many New Citizen's Plazas located all around sl and doing a simple search will help you locate one. {The SEARCH button is located at the bottom of your sl browser (search > places tab> "NCI")}

Besides free goodies NCI has a sandbox where you can build, offers free classes, and also hosts a variety of activities to help new citizens become better acquainted with sl.

If you haven't check NCI out, it's an excellent place!

ETD Newbie Friendly Hair

ETD makes some of my favorite hairs. The textures are shiny and subtle.

At the ETD store there are several hairs offered at discount prices for new players (60 days are younger) both male and female and a couple discounted styles for everyone else. If you haven't tried the ETD hairs this is a perfect opportunity to do so. ;)

The Gnubie Store in Indigo

**** This store has moved and has a new look. 4 March 08 - Powder Mill (97, 145, 44)- The Gnubie Store in Powder Mill*****



If you haven't visited the Gnubie Store in Indigo you are missing out on one of the gems of second life. The store is nicely organized and has the feel of a nice boutique rather than a newbie friendly $oL-$1L store.



On the first floor you'll find a selection of clothing, skins, hairs, houses, furniture, textures, and scripts. All are nicely organized by designer or grouped together in a concise manner that doesn't leave anyone feeling overwhelmed or wondering what they have just purchased. What may be of particular interest are two things offered on this floor: one being a wheelchair of sorts =) another being the infamous babbler that helps translate languages!



The second floor offers a selection of clothing, hairs, accessories, eyes, and furniture. All are also easily identifiable.

*Pictures only show some of what is offered.*

Freebie Jeebies

Freebie Jeebies is a nice freebie area outside of Rose Columbia's store Wilted Rose. At Freebie Jeebies you will find a selection of nice accessories including purses and jewelry, clothes (flexi dresses, t-shirts, pants, underwear), shoes, male attachments, and goth skins ranging in price from $0-1L. Along with all of this Rose offers two completely free avatars (one male and one female; both white).




And after you finish checking out Freebie Jeebies you *will* definitely want to stroll inside of the Wilted Rose store and check out Rose's selection of newbie friendly hairs that range from $2L-$10L and are both male and female friendly.
