Will Ross here. Welcome to The Traveling Avatar's Quick and Dirty tips for a Better Second Life. On this show we discuss tips and tricks for the game Second Life, created by Linden Labs. Today's episode is "Do Spend It All In One Place." Avatar fans' favorite places to spend money.

Every few shows I try to spend my time talking about where to go in Second Life instead of tips on how to behave when you get there. A few shows back I asked for some places that you folks liked to visit, and I was surprised at how much you guys like to shop! So, in honor of that, our first episode will be all about shopping!

A good friend of mine, Alyssa Kanahoe, suggests that I check out Minx Shoe Designs . Now, I can in no way give my personal endorsement on this store, as I searched high and low and didn't find a single samurai sword, race car or video that would have violated the Comstock law. The whole place is filled top to bottom with women's shoes. Now, I really don't know who would have any interest in a store full of pumps, boots, heels, and something called a "slingback," but I suppose -- huh. It feels like we just lost 51% of our audience. Weird. Anyway, if shopping for shoes is your thing, run a search for "Minx Shoe Designs" or just hit the Web site for the SLURL.
