Hello. Our names are Wendy Hill and Bronwen Llewelyn, and we, are shop-a-holics. You’re probably thinking to yourself, aren’t we all? Well my dears when your inventory tops out at about 13k (that’s a piece) there’s some serious issues. Why do we not trash the stuff we don’t use? We do, but as soon as Wendy tosses her juggling balls and Bronnie tosses out the horrible puke green noob dress there will be an occasion for it! Don’t laugh. It’s happened to you too. When it cant be avoided any longer and the need arises we stuff our trash cans and brace ourselves. That all important moment. Mouse poised over the empty icon. The sweat popping up on our upper lip. Checking the trash twenty times to make sure we really want to get rid of what we put in there. Twitching a little. Finally we gain the courage to click. Then BAM POW (and literally) CRASH! Can you believe it?! We crash a sim! Enough was enough! We came up with the perfect strategy to curb the nasty shopping habit. Pointy stick elf clan. Yep. We figured it would start in the form of a shock collar that your best shopping buddy controls. Place the shock collar around your neck and put the controls in the hands of the one you trust. When you’re heading for that dress that isn’t great to begin with and you’ll only wear once, ZAP! Your shopping buddy presses the button that sends you into a fit of spazzing before you crash. Sound harsh? When you log back in, you’re in the under depths of second life, surrounded by mean, cranky elves holding pointy sticks. As they close in on you they jab you over and over and scream NO! NO! NO! Then the screen goes blank and when it clears, you’re in some field miles away from any shopping mecca unable to tp. Alas, neither of us are talented enough to script such a thing, so we decided to start our own blog....
Ok! Down to business. While we love the clothing crack put out by all the top sl designers, (Elka, Canimal, Starley, Ginny. The list is a mile long) we realize there are over seven million residents in sl. Surely there are many great undiscovered or not so well known designers. Not to mention interesting Avatars with a great or not so great look, just waiting to be discovered. Here’s the deal boys and girls. If you’d like to be interviewed or want to show us your stuff (Keep your pants on freaks. We don’t want to see THAT stuff) send us an IM or drop us a note card with your name, shop information, landmark, and if you’re dropping us a folder name it hey check this out. While we wouldn’t say no if you dropped your stuff on us, we have no problem dropping into your shop and buying some things either. We are. After all. Shop-o-holics.
