For those of you who love shoes in SL, will know matching feet & realistic textures are a must!
I've had my fair share of mismatching Slink feet/Shoes & I can tell you its SUCH a relief to find a pair of shoes that match my skin!

Well it was a nice surprise to see the current Gos Boutique Group Gift, was a Union Jack print pair of wedges!

Now there is one club that is constantly in the top 10 clubs on SL for the sheer amount of people it gets going to it. This is because of the music, the atmosphere, the staff and the VIP's that all go together to make a club that people just want to go hang out in. Its also a really nice place to just drop into and listen to some nice tunes and if you are from a generation who remembers the 80s like i do then you will like the tunes that they play too.

That club is called Big Daddys World 80s club and you can visit it by clicking here

There is more after the break

You couldnt really call this a blog about music in Second Life if we didnt include one of the most consistently busy clubs, Franks Place. This jazz club is almost always in the top 10 of clubs on Second Life for the sheer amount of people who go there.

If you are into formal wear, couples dances and a ballroom ambience then this is the place for you.

You can visit Franks Place by clicking here

Two really nice quality stores in Second Life Miss Mischief and Tokyo Girl both have an outlet store on the Script sim and the building looks rather impressive being in an old factory style so we decided to go take a look

You can visit the location by clicking here

See more after the jump

Just a quick post about Enkys Dollarbie Store where almost everything is either 1L$ or free. You might find something useful to you here or if you are on a budget you can find a lot of stuff here for your avatar or house.

When you land at the sim you arrive at the above location, you need to walk straight forward along the platform you are on and you will come to the store which you can visit by clicking here

Check out more after the jump

There are clubs on Second Life that come and go, everyone and their mother wants to own a club, they go out, get some land, buy a prefab club, hire a bunch of people and then it folds in a month because they realise how much hard work it is to run a club in Second Life.
One of the clubs that came and stayed since 2007 is Blackhearts Rock club. This club has a good management team which has enabled it to stay on the grid for 9 years straight. I remember visiting this club as a newbie back in 2007 so i know it has been there this long

You can visit Blackhearts Rock Club by clicking here

When you first land you are at the entrance to the mall with the shops. The club is at the far end of this walkway which we will see after the jump

The Second Life skin fair 2016 is now on and if you havent been yet or are looking to get a new skin then this is the place for you. With tons of skin, tattoo, eyes and makeup designers all in one place covering 2 sims this is THE event for skins.

You can visit the fair by clicking here

This is what the 2 sims look like when zoomed out, you can see there are plenty shops there to look at, we look at some after the jump

Imagine the scene, you are sitting around with your friends and youre bored, you want something to make them laugh, they have heard all your jokes, you have watched all the funny movies on your SL tv and they dont want to go hang out at a comedy club. You need a funny avatar or attachment to make them laugh and Weirdiculous is the place to get them

You can visit the main store here

There are all kinda of avatars and attachments here, see more after the jump

Alright babes lets get my first post going innit. Hi im Chloe and i have been invited to help blog on SL Fashion and Music so my first post is about this gawgus place called Kona Beach.

So me & my mate Chloe xxLovelyBabesxx are getting ready for our holiday in Marbs this summer, (Marbella for those who don't know)

We wanted to get "kitted up" with some right tasty clothes & skins

& heard about this gaff in SL called "TheShops" apparently it brings a whole

new shoppping experience to the grid!

Second Life is full of talented people who create nice looking clothes for our avies to wear and Lydia Sands store Boutique LOVELY is a good example of this.

You can visit the inworld store here
Or you can visit the Second Life Marketplace store here

When you first land at the store you are greeted by a nice looking building with a very nice garden area out front

Lets say that you have just been out shopping in SL and you brought a new item but when you look in your inventory you find that its boxed and you dont have anywhere you can rez the item to get your goodies out. What do you do? Well this is where "Sandboxes" come in.

Sandboxes are places where you can rez item, build, test things, basically all the things you can do if you own a piece of land but without the cost. There is also usually a time limit too on how long your items can be in the sandbox before they get auto returned.

The sandbox i use is called Sandbox Shiromani

Pretty much when you land you will be greeted with this view which is the main landing point for the sandbox

Behind you are some ads to gaming sims and other places you may want to look at

If there was one item that has changed my view on Second Life its probably this gadget My Eye View.

What does it do?

This is the typical SL view that nearly all of us have. A view of our avatar that is about 20 feet in the air behind us. It makes rooms look small and gives you a distorted view of your second life surroundings as you are looking down on everything instead of at it.

Now take a look at this screenshot

Exactly the same place on the sim as the above screenshot but now behind the avatar instead of above it. What a difference this simple thing makes. No longer are you flying behind your avie you are now at the same level which adds so much to the realism and makes rooms seem more in proportion, people seem more realistic, places look more vibrant because you are seeing them from the correct perspective. There is an older version of the hud that is free but if you want the full features i would recommend this one.

This outfit was just too cute to pass up and looked good for a nice summers afternoon type photoshoot. After playing around with the windlight settings a little i came across this one Anann realistic ambient which gives a nice shadowing to the picture and is not too harsh like some of them.

So SL is ALL mesh in most of the stores nowadays.... but what about us Avi's who are Classic??
Me personally, I'm a Classic SL Avatar..... I have been on Grid for 8 years and still prefer being classic..... I don't like the "Faffing" that is involved with being a Mesh Avi & 2b honest.... I'm comfortable in my Classic Shape!

That does not mean I don't like to mix things up a little.... I LOVE mesh clothing.... but I want to be able to still wear my favorite SL brands without having to change my whole avatar!

Having said that, it is easier for me to find stuff as I am Classic.... therefore, I can wear both Mesh and Classic Clothing, unlike you poor Mesh Avi's!! LOL

This is where the OMEGA Appliers come in!!

This great little invention lets Mesh Avatars wear Classic SL clothing layers on their mesh Avi!

Which means you can wear your favorite brands, without having to worry if they will bring out a mesh version!! I'ts all ready for you!!

Its a nifty little Hud that you just wear an "apply" the layers you want!
Why not ask your favorite designer to add the Omega Appliers to their work today?

Mesh Vs Classic..........You decide??
