NanoGunk for Men

NanoGunk has a new freebie for men, a translucent muscle shirt with store logo and a lizard emblazoned upon the front and the back. It looks fine on women, the one critter seeming to squeeze out from a comfy spot in the cleavage. Very amusing. A non-logo version is inside the store for L$100 plus styles with various graphics. The free one is in the store as well as near some past freebies (latex track suits) and boxes of note cards/landmarks helpful to Noobs (SLurl). If you haven't been to NanoGunk in a while, look for several new items in the store.

Animation Override (AO) from LAP

Long Awkward Pose (LAP) has a free Animation Override (AO) for any avatar under 30 days old in Second Life^® right as you enter the store (SLurl). Also near the door is a pile of boxes with some really great freebie poses. I used several of these on a modeling job today much to the delight of the photographer (admittedly, my being half nekkid kinda swayed his opinions of everything).

Freebies for N00bies #1

New residents in Second Life™ have many options for getting kitted out well but for free as quite a few blogs have already pointed this out. So why am I going putting in my 2-cents worth? Well, I did promise Serenkitty that I'd do my best to blog every day and I like to help Noobs, so here goes.

The Bare Rose Clothes Adjusting Resource Center is one of the best places for Noobs to start so I make sure everyone I give my custom New Player Starter Kit to gets an LM for this place (SLurl). As the name implies, visitors will learn how to adjust clothing, specifically with a nice coat (and shirt and pants!) given at the start. As you can see the tutorial is offered in several languages and so should be a big help to a wide variety of users.

There are several clear, well-illustrated 'stations' showing how the user can adjust parts of the outfit one-by-one and plenty of pose stands so a number of visitors can work simultaneously. Even with the excellent facilities a visit here would be well worthwhile just for the outfit. It is very nice (i.e., typical B@R) and quite versatile. Did you get yours yet? No? Go get it and run through the tutorial even if you are an experienced resident. It will be worth your time.

If any LKC members would like to recommend a place that is great for Noobs, drop me a note card in-world and I'll try to feature it. Or leave a comment here. I'll try to check as often as I can.
