Second Life Information :: Doing Business in Second Life

Heh, this is funny. A satire site with the tagline "Your World. Sorry About That."

It was time for some new threads. I was tired of my standard issue jeans and the blue long-sleeve shirt. I needed something a little more professional. So I searched Second Life for a number of terms - "men formal", "formalwear", "men suit" and more until I found the House of Zen (Hinode Shima 176, 104, 25), which actually has a number of locations.

I was greeted by Sasy Scarborough, who took my vague ideas and led me to a store that had some rather stylish threads for men. She tried a number of outfits on her avatar, so I could see what they looked like. At first I was adamant about no neckties, but relented when I saw the slick color-on-same-color tie/shirt combos.

I was feeling Blue and Gold (bring a UCLA alum and all), and we ended up selecting a suit with blue slacks, a two-jacket combo that included a blue one and a rust shirt/tie. "Very swish" said Sasy.

But I wasn't done - nope, I had to have shoes to match. I was sent to FNKY (Cake 120, 39, 24) for the black leather dress shoes. They look pretty nice on the wall, but on me they look like slippers. I changed my socks to rust with some cotton texture, and i think i'm making a fashion statement that's a bit on the edge. Of course, a rainbow furry just walked by, so there you go.

My last stop was to Calla (Plush Kappa 215, 70, 23), where I got some free hair. My natty light brown dreads felt a little out of place, what with the suit and all.

Summary: I spent an hour of time and L$1500 (about US$6) to receive a Second Life Extreme Makeover. Thanks, Sasy!
