Hi!

My name is Nefera Meiler, and I am one of the many avatars in the virtual world called Second Life. It's a game for those who want to escape from the hassles of the real world, or want to let their imagination expand to its greatest extent, or both. Second Life offers a wide range of things for people to do, and it is entirely user-created, save for a few trees. People create entire worlds, or Sims (think of the Sims game), that include elements you would never see in real life. A big thing in Second Life is fashion, because the things you can do with clothing in that game are equally as fantastic as the scenery. http://www.secondlife.com/ is the address, and joining can be free or paid.
Being a broke college student in real life (or IRL as they say in-world), I had to use a free account. That limits my options of what I can do in the game money-wise; SL has its own currency and one of their dollars, or Lindens (Second Life was founded by Linden Labs), is worth much less than a dollar of US currency. Usually good-quality clothing in Second Life is quite expensive, ranging from 50L$ to 4,000L$! However, if you're desperate to clothe yourself and not look like a noob (or "newbie"), there are places you can go to get free gifts offered by designers or freebie dungeons where you can find loads of newbie clothes that are usually and sadly of very low quality. I have made it my mission to find the best freebies in SL, and show every Noob hereafter where to get them. It is a quest that I hope will be never-ending.
