Summer Style on a Budget in Second Life

My last couple of posts featured outfits that ended up being pretty expensive, mostly due to being made up of a mix of items I've bought over the past few months, so I thought I'd highlight some nice cheap deals I've found recently at Navan Designs and Dark Creations.

Up top: The 99 Linden Ripped Jeans outfit. Perfect for your white trash role-play, hanging out in dark alleys, hunting hogs in the the swamp or even for dressing up as hot man-wolf Alcide from True Blood! The 99 Linden sets are a fantastic value, as they come complete with boots/shoes, hats, sunglasses and other accessories that can expand your wardrobe without spending a lot of lindens. Many of them are available in a variety of colour choices, so you're sure to find something you just have to add to your wardrobe! Photo Location: The Wash

This is the 99 Linden Mr DJ outfit in black. Again, an awesome deal at 99L, with boots, wristwatch, cap, glasses, and two sets of headphones to wear on your head or neck - or both like I did for the photo!  Photo Location: Aqua Lounge

The 99L Summertime Outfit in purple denim. Cut little jean hot-pants that I'd never wear in real life, but which look kinda hot my avatar. With a very nice tank top, cap, glasses, belt, sandals and dog-tags, in a variety of colour options for the tank. European summer-style! Photo Location: Haulover Nude Gay Beach

Also at The Wash - there's a fantastic cart sale happening with some amazing finds all for only 10L each! Some great steals here, including home furnishing, fashion, gadgets and more. You can check out the most-excellent SL Freebie Hunters blog for comprehensive look at the items for sale.

The Wash is a fun sim, with a Rockabilly theme - a great place to go to listen to awesome spirt-lifting Rockabilly music while you shop. It's home to one of my favourite shops - Hell Bop clothing - the perfect place to get some blue-collar work clothes and fashionable retro '50s outfits.

It's also home to the Fab Free Headquarters - a fantastic place for new avatars to get all kinds of free goodies from top Second Life designers. I always recommend this place to all new Second Life residents!

I got a bit distracted in my shopping by this awesome place - The Carnival of Chaos! I'm a huge comic-book nerd, so there was no way I was going to miss a Joker-themed circus! (I luv the no-bats sign out front. lol!)

I didn't stick around to ride any of the rides as I was on a cart-shopping mission, but I did check out the main tent - where you can buy some Bat-Villain avatars and Bat-Merchandise.

Of course, no Joker circus would be complete without some hungry hyenas.

The Joker doesn't seem to be a fan of other clowns muscling in on his territory!

Insilico Cyber City

I'm so in love with this gorgeous Cyberpunk-inspired cityscape - Insilico. It's an environment filled with gorgeous futuristic towers and buildings on a world that is forever shrouded in grey twilight and fog. It's a role-play sim with it's own community and back story - and the landing area is surrounded by shops where you can outfit your avatar in the appropriate cyber-punk attire and weapons. I'm a huge fan of the movie Blade Runner and this amazing build reminds me so much of the stunning production design of that film.


I have yet to get involved in any role-play in Second Life. Maybe I just don't have enough imagination - but on the other hand what I love about SL is that it is free of any restrictive story-lines or roles - I can just wander and explore to my heart's content. Getting caught up in a bunch of rules and restrictions doesn't appeal, but I can see how it would be fun to step into a character in this gorgeous sci-fi setting and meet other players in this way.


I don't feel too out-of-place in my new Superman outfit here, but it's not quite the correct genre. I really should be wearing more bulky body armour, lots of belts and pouches, a cybernetic replacement limb or two, some giant boots and a selection of weapons if I really want to fit in - all of which are for sale in the retail area of Insilco.


...But it does still make a great back-drop for my new costume! lol!

This outfit is actually a Superboy costume, based on the original outfit that the current DC Comics Superboy (who is young clone of Superman) wore before he switched to a less colourful jeans and t-shirt ensemble. It's available at Heroic Life, which makes some of my favourite super hero costumes that I've seen so far in Second Life. Plus, they make some un-branded bodysuits and accessories that you can combine to create a super hero of your own - very cool stuff! 

The creativity and stunning artistry of Insilico and Heroic Life are everything that I love about Second Life!

Super Encounter

I was hanging out in this awesome location - Xeniversity - the other day taking pictures of the gorgeous scenery/architecture and I just had to share:

... when I suddenly noticed a rather super-looking visitor:

I was going to ask him where he got his fantastic Superman suit (and those kicking boots!), but was feeling a bit shy, so I didn't. But it did give me the idea to go looking for one mysef.


After browsing around some amazing shops I ended up settling on this one by Heroic Life, with some fun boots added from my inventory:

...and then I went back to Xeniversity to take some more pics since it makes such a fantastic backdrop! LOL
