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 the final episode of The Traveling Avatar's Quick and Dirty Tips! More on that later. First, speaking of finales, it was the end of a year and the end of era... OK, era is too strong a word, but it's the end of something ... so with me being in a celebratory mood, it's time to do a show about buying formalwear for men and women.

First up, Blaze. The Blaze Regal Tuxedo has been discussed on earlier shows but they have recently added to the line with The Columbia Tux for men and women. Also Blaze has vests and ties available for their Regal Tuxedo to match whatever color your escort for the evening is wearing, but sticking with a black tux with a white, black and silver vest and tie is the safest bet if you aren't sure what colors periwinkle or chartreuse are.

The women's selection of formals here is large and varied, from vintage to lingerie inspired gowns. They have a large selection of colors available, so there is hope that no one else would be in the same gown as you at the party you are attending. Demos of the tuxs and gowns are available for $1L, which is a good idea if you aren't sure a style will work with your avatar's shape.
