It's our First Anniversary!

In our one-year anniversary episode, Daphne and I talk to Luth Brodie of Reel Expression -- our first interview with an animator!  We also announce our Avatar of Style and read some comments from our listeners.  There's also an incomprehensible voicemail from one of our favorite friends.  Want to know more?  Sorry, you'll have to listen to the show!

Join me and Daphne as we visit some of our favorite stores in the metaverse!

We would like to thank Our Sponsors:

No, the title of the show doesn't refer to our guest, TheDiva Rockin.  It refers to the show itself.  An interview with TheDiva is a lot of fun and very entertaining, but I can't remember what we were supposed to talk about.  Perhaps it had something to do with her being the chief of Second Life's Fashion Police. 

She's certainly seen her share of fashion "don'ts" on the grid, and she shares them with us in her blog SL Fashion Police.  Sometimes the fashion faux pas are funny, sometimes they're raunchy, sometimes they're just plain wrong. 

In any case, watch what you wear so that you don't get ticketed by TheDiva's crew!

On this episode of Going Broke, we spoke with one of Second Life's most famous avatars, caLLie cLine.  Not only does she design clothing and furniture for her own store, caLLie cLine, she was also named one of Maxim magazine's Hot 100, and she worked with Pontiac on Motorati Island.  With a schedule like caLLie's, we were sure grateful that she could take the time to talk with us.

Not one to read fashion blogs, caLLie designs what she likes, and has built a very loyal following doing just that.  Her designs are fun, flirty, feminine, and quite colorful -- not for the shy!

Join us as we learn about caLLie's journey through Second Life, and find out what she has planned for the future!

In this episode of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara, we interview Launa Fauna, then visit two of our favorite stores, Argyle and Hybrid!  After that, we announce our newest Avatar of Style.

Would you blame us if we never had another show for men ever again?  Really, don't you remember the effects of Episode 3?  Honestly, you'd be okay with us not going through that pain again, right?  We're sure you would.  We have the best listeners around!

Well, for that very reason, we decided to venture once again into the murky waters of men's fashions in Second Life.  This time, we actually put some thought into who we'd invite onto the show.  Yes, that's right!  No wind-up midget butler, no shoeless wonder, and no Johnny-3-outfits!  We sought out people who really understand men's fashions and CARE about them!

Just for you, we've interviewed Kirk Claymore and Maddox DuPont of KMADD Enterprises.  They're the pair behind the upscale men's fashion sim, KMADD City.  There, male avies will find fashions by Redgrave, Casa del Shai, Paper Couture, Minnu Model Skins as well as many others.  The sim is also home to KMADD's own shape store and image consulting business, as well as their modeling agency and photography studio. 

Sit back and enjoy a men's fashion show that's really about men's fashion!  Really!

Did you know that if you don't somehow document those cute outfits you wear, not only do they cease to exist, but it makes the baby Jeebus cry?  When you have a hot outfit that you've created from shopping at all the great stores we've recommended, you must remember to blog it or send a picture to either Snapzilla or Flickr.  But if you really want to create the perfect photo, you're going to need more than just a great outfit, you're going to need a great setting!  In this episode of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara, we tell you where to go to create the perfect environment for all your pictures!

It's not every day we get to speak with someone who's known by just one name, you know, like Madonna or Cher.  This week, we had the opportunity to do just that when we spoke with Simone Stern (okay, she has a last name) of Simone!

Simone is one of SL's most established and prolific designers and she has some great stories to tell!  Join us as we learn more about Simone's charity work and her store's TV debut on CSI: New York this past fall.

You had to know this was coming.  It wasn't a big secret.  If you've been listening faithfully, as we know you have, you'd have seen this coming a mile away.  Honestly, she was our Avatar of Style, a semi-featured designer (Savvy?), a frequent topic of conversation, a prominent SL model and muse, makes sense she'd appear as a guest doesn't it? 

How could we go an entire show without mentioning her name?  We couldn't.  And if you're talking about style and fashion in SL, neither can you.  Her name is almost synonymous with both.  This talented Australian university student is an "IT" girl if there ever was one.  She's creative, talented, and has an eye you wouldn't believe.  If we didn't have her on  the show soon, you should have forced us off of your MP3 player.  Thankfully, we brought her to you, and we can continue to happily blow through Lindens like nobody's business. MWAH!!!!

In Episode 12 of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara -- The Show That Tells You Where to Spend Your Lindens, we visit with Alla Ruff of Veschi!  She tells us about her secret past as well as her current inspirations.  Next, we paid visits to Pochette and Corduroy.   Finally, we announce our sixth Avatar of Style.  Join us for the ride!

Join us as we talk to Siyu Suen, master of Illusions in Second Life!  Siyu talks about her beginnings in mask-making and her future plans to expand into clothing.

If you can't wait for Siyu to start making clothing, be sure to visit Cashmere and Dutch Touch for the latest looks.  Afterwards, teleport to Pillow Talk to relax in comfort.

Be sure to visit our new sponsor's store, Nymphetamine Boutique!

Wow.  This is our tenth episode!  Can you believe it?  Neither can we!  We wanted to do something special, so we looked for a major designer with a bit of an air of mystery!  We also really wanted to use the title "Another Helping of Tiramisu!"

Luckily, Elikapeka Tiramisu of ETD was available.  You know ETD, the huge hair shop that EVERYONE loves?  C'mon, look in your inventory, you have Sofia, don't you?  If not, get over to ETD immediately!  See the entry below for a SLurl.

Of course, having such a major guest on the show presented a problem.  How do you follow that act?  For us, the answer was clear -- with Madison Carnot:  fashion blogger (http://blog.secondstyle.com and http://madisoncarnot.wordpress.com), model, shopping queen, and our closest friend.

In Episode 8 of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara, we catch up with Shai Delacroix of Casa del Shai.  Her interview was as fun as her clothing, and we learned the story behind her Adulterer suit!

After visiting with Shai, Daphne and I headed over to Creamshop on Koenji for some much needed retail therapy.  From there, we headed over to Silver Rose Designs in Shengri La where Daph picked up an "Alice in Wonderland" inspired dress and I drooled over dresses that looked like cakes.  Finally, we headed over to Violet Voltaire on Vodou to accessorize our finds.

Before leaving you, we announce our fourth Avatar of Style, Mr. Menno Ophelia.  Unless Mr. O sends us a snap or two, or twelve for our personal collections, you'll just have to imagine the hawtness!

Opening and Closing Music: Velvet Underwear by Tomorrow's Caveman

In this episode, Daphne and I don't tell you where to buy skin, shapes and hair, but how to buy them.  These are things that can be confusing, and often result in unused, expensive items that taunt you from your inventory.

While we can't guarantee perfect results, if you follow the steps we've laid out, you are about a bazillion times more likely to be happy with your skin, shape and hair, and yes, look great naked (except for the guys b/c we don't discuss where to buy bits -- hey, that's another show!).

Daphne and I were also lucky enough to attend SLCC in Chicago last month and we talk about some of the amazing people that we met and now miss.

By the way, we've got another project brewing!  Keep your eyes and ears open for more details in the near future.

1.  Get as many demos as possible, the more the merrier.  Make sure the demos come with landmarks!  If they don't, create landmarks and put them in the folders with the demos.  Honestly, wouldn't it be THE SUCK if you found the perfect skin and the only information you had was "Bronze/Makeup 4"?

2.  Find a quiet, secluded location and set the light to Noon.

3.  Decide what's really important to you about the skin and the order of importance:
5.  Start trying on skins focusing on your primary consideration.

6.  After you narrow down the selection, deleting the demos that you want to rule out, look at the skins again focusing on the next item on your list.

7.  Continue doing this until you have narrowed your demos down.

8.  If you have more then one demo left start at the top of the list and really zoom in on the parts that matter to you to make the final choice.  Of course, you can also buy more than one skin if you like!

9.  When you're ready to buy:
10.  Look for any information on changing the color of facial and body hair to match your hair.  Some companies make notecards to help you do this, others may have HUDs, others may make different color bald caps and, um, undies.

Tips to help you zoom in:
Use a pose stand
Set menus to Debug mode (Ctrl-Alt(Opt)-Shift-D)
Under the Client menu check off Disable Camera Restraints
Also if you are rezzing slowly or won't rez, under Client go to Character and select Rebake Textures

Skin is probably the single most expensive part of your avatar, do not make a rush decision on what skin to buy.  You skin defines you more than anything else.

(Photo of Daphne Abernathy taken by Kath Brokken. Same shape and Hair for all, with different colors.  Hair: ETD - Trinity, Skins Left to Right: Celestial Studios Vogue in Amber, Whispers of Night in Deathly, Sin Skin in Medium Drow)

1.  Always try on a demo!  Almost every store has demos that are free or just $1L.  Make sure the hair fits your head or make sure that you can make it fit.

2.  If the demo doesn't fit perfectly but you still like the hairstyle, make sure you can copy/mod it:
3.  Deciding on color -- this is the fun part!  Most stores have color demos you can try on; you may not like the style, but it will help you with the color.

4.  Don't be afraid to try something new.  Blue hair may not work in your real life, but anything goes in SL!

5.  The vast majority of hair is not transferable!  If you want to buy it as a gift, look for gift certificates.

6.  If the hair shop is laggy, buy your demos and try them on at home or someplace else.

7.  Don't be afraid to play with bangs/fringe.  Consider different colors!

While Daphne and I narrowly escaped our recording of Episode 3 (Scythe is the New Black), we took a risk and invited back one of our guests, Radar Masukami of SL Under the Radar Podcast (http://www.SLUnderTheRadar.com) and his blog Reading Radar (http://www.RadarMasukami.com).  It wasn't just because Radar didn't try to hijack our show (sorry, Crap), it was because he possesses useful information we wanted our audience to have (sorry, Will).  Also, the big name guest we'd planned to interview was back in rehab after being caught teleporting under the influence with her prim baby (drinking Red Bull from his bottle!) in her lap all while fighting with her shoulder-pet kinkaju (whatever that is).

Sure, the superstar was about to launch her line of specially perfumed music-playing clothing in SL.  However, Daphne and I agreed that she needed time to work through her issues and reconnect with her world-famous pro-athlete partner before learning how to use Skype. 

Always ready to lend a hand, Mr. Masukami filled the superstar's size zero shoes at a moment's notice.  Even though he was asked to fill in minutes before we were to record, Radar was kind enough to pull together a list of his favorite Japanese and East Asian inspired stores.

For detailed furniture and jewelry, those with higher prim budgets should visit Mezzanine Qi's Mezzanine Gardens (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Seven%20Veils/131/43/23).  If you want hair with an Asian flair, TP to Hayate's Hair Lab (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Harajuku/108/81/22) for Hayate Ewing's styles.

The Metabirds sim is home to a lot of Asian shopping, such as the mall at http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Metabirds/144/59/22, where Radar has shopped for skins, shapes, hair and clothing.  When Radar wants a new Kimono, Yukata (a more casual Kimono-style garment) or fan, he visits KG Jewell's Samurai Soul at http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Sugamo/186/182/2.

Any fashion lover on a budget will appreciate June Dion's Bare Rose at http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Bare%20Rose/150/20/30, though Radar is especially fond of June's Samurai-esque items.  Take your new purchases home and relax on the budget-friendly furniture Emerald Greenstein has designed for Japanese & Asian Decor Zen Kanji at http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Manitoba/212/153/60.

For more traditional Japanese looks including clothes, tattoos, weapons and avies, you'll want to drop in to Asian Inspiration (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Anhalt%20Hill/93/177/43) where SheOfTheSourSnailSuckers Sellery and her fellow designers sell their wares.

Another area to visit for Japanese items is Nagaya Little Kyoto (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Juho/95/162/62).  Radar bought one of his many homes here, and he also shops there for clothes, hair and skins.  FORM on The Block by Zabitan Assian (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Varado/135/144/31) is where Radar goes to pick up Japanese t-shirts featuring Ultraman and Mazinger.

Rivlyn Rawley designs Japanese-style buildings for Umi no Sakura (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Samurai%20Island/68/138/24), and you can furnish your new home with Digital Bamboo's furniture from (you guessed it!) Digital Bamboo (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Samurai%Island/211/198/24).  While on Samurai Island, be sure not to miss JilQun Tantalus' clothing at Tenchu (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Samurai%20Island/196/97/24) and Wisper Patel's Bonsai trees at Bonsai by Wisper (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Samurai%20Island/164/239/24).

Finally, Radar recommended that anyone interested in western fashions seen through Japanese eyes go to Musashi-Do (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Anton/137/234/94).

Of course, Daphne and I have also noticed Asian-influenced styles at some of our favorite shops such as Cake (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/FNKY%20Cake/127/45/24);
Deviant Kitties (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Deviant%20Kitties/207/123/301); and Curious Kitties (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Curious%20Kitties/218/21/21).  I also recommend Vlinder Reitveld's Vlintuition (http://www.slurl.com/secondlife/Chong/6/76/43) for Vietnamese and Thai clothing in gorgeous silks.
Daphne recommends Horton's Asian Prefab homes (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Wingo/212/79/25) for some Asian inspired homes and gazebos, she owns several.

Until next time when Daphne and I hope to have the ankle-braceleted celebutard (did I just say that?) on our show, we're signing off!

We began Episode Six of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara with our interview of Lucas ("Luck") Lameth.  Lucas brings what he sees on the streets of New York City to life in his creations.

In his store, Earthtones (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bushido%20Bay/76/236/24), you'll find everything from casual, down-to-earth wooden bangles to exquisite formal jewelry that will draw all eyes to you!  No matter what you choose, we're sure that you will treasure your Earthtones jewels the rest of your Second Life!

Don't forget to check out Lucas' designs for the male avie!  However, don't be jealous if your guy's getting more admiring glances, it's the Earthtones jewelry, for sure!

After visiting Earthtones, we swung by Caroline's on the Lo Lo sim (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lo%20Lo/128/196/23); Simply Spoiled in Mechozilla (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mechozilla/102/143/44); Mad About in Satang (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Satang/117/233/27); and Ricx's in Nepessing (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nepessing/64/97/125).  Check out our reviews below and see pictures of our new Avatar of Style, Dakota Buck!

Of course, there are so many more jewelry stores in Second Life, one show wasn't enough to cover all of our favorites!  Don't despair if we didn't hit your favorite store, we're going to do another jewelry show in the future!

Music in this episode: "Gems and Jewelry" by Causeway provided by the Podsafe Music Network, http://Music.Podshow.com.

In Episode 5 of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara, we explore the dark side of shopping in Second Life, and we don't mean when your purchase doesn't show up in your inventory!

We speak with Vivianne Draper about her work with Dark Eden designer Etain Peregrine and the new Dark Eden Plaza  (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Indigo/161/184/504 ). 

Teleport into Indigo and you'll find the latest in fetish wear by Etain as well as sexy clothes by dana Archer of Creative Kaos.  Pony girls will also want to stop in Alyssa Jessop's shop, Prancing Harlot for the latest pony gear. 

Craving a fur-trimmed cape any Cossack would envy?  Visit Ookami Ringen for Zorena Deckard's Asian, Russian and Victorian designs with amazingly sophisticated primwork.  Need some jewelry to dress up your look?  Check out the unique designs of Ciphertazi Wandin at Red Queen.

If you'd rather be tied up in realistic Japanese Shibari ropes, go to LaFel Elvehjem's Oubliette and try out the demos.  But if you're in need of horns or tentacles (hey, who isn't?), be sure to pop by Charissa Korvin's Devil Made Me Do It. 

Grunge guys can't get enough of Cancer Manimal's boots and hip accessories.  Finally, don't forget the Dark Eden Rogues' Gallery on the second floor for new designers!

We can't forget to thank Etain and Vivianne for the Lilith boots that Vivianne dropped on us when we visited with her a couple of weeks ago!  They usually retail for about $200L in the Dark Eden store.  Also, we have to point out that the model in the picture above is Etain Peregrine herself!

Now, get yourselves to Dark Eden Plaza for their big sale this weekend!  If you don't, we'll use some of our new toys on you!

In Episode 4 of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara, we interviewed Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot of Tete a Pied on the Nouveau sim ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nouveau/216/204/21 ).  Ros and CJ tell us all about their business partnership from their meeting at an SL coffee shop to the opening of their second store housing their complete ladies clothing and accessory lines!

We were also fortunate to have Zoe Llewelyn grant us a written interview!  While we would have loved to have her on the show, that unfortunately wasn't possible.  However, she submitted written answers to our questions, and we will publish them in a blog post on this site.  We visited Temenos (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Temenos/155/108/106 ), the island she built to house her amazing creations.

Next, we visited Oh!  What a Neat . . . Boutique above the Seonggye sim ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Seonggye/83/91/601 ).  When designer Rosemary Galbraith passed me (Tamara) a pair of her adorable slouchy boots ($300L a pair), we had to go check out the shop.  We were sure happy we did, because not only did we find Ms. Galbraith's fresh and fashionable designs, we also found Dakota Buck's new Savvy? line.  Check out her hot retro designs (look for the outfit inspired by her friend Roslin Petion).

Finally, we took a trip to Nico Creations on Nico Island ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nico%20Island/179/186/25 ) after Dominic Nico passed us each a pair of his hot new Jaded glasses/shades ($150L a pair).  Dominic's sunglasses are very detailed and realistic, as are Joella Nico's prim chains!

After all that shopping, Daphne and I relaxed by discussing how to wear a system skirt so that your ass doesn't look fat.  We also reminisced about some things that we (um, Daphne) said in SL that would get us (yeah, her) locked up in RL.  To close out the show, we swooned over our first male Avatar of Style, DayDreamer Langway!

Thanks for listening!

• shop for Sanford Foulon's mission style furniture at Gingko;
• make some aquatic friends at Maggie Morgan and Kerryn Kennedy's Something Fishy;

In Episode 1 of "Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara," we talk with HD and Paeoti Pomeray, the couple behind the SLurgis sim (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epsilon/42/88/34).  Learn more about the family who inhabits this bikers' paradise and all the wild parties there.

HD, a biker in real life, tells us about his new line of motorcycles that are available in his SLurgis shop (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epsilon/63/46/34).  While you've always been able to change the color of HD's motorcycles, now you can have your HD bike custom painted before HD puts it together for you.
 

After you've placed your order for that custom bike, ride over to Nymphetamine's, one of the best boutiques in Second Life (http://slurl.com/secondlife/TheSirensGrotto/132/123/24).  Paeoti's designs range from demure (well, not really) and elegant, to full out sex-kitten, but they all share the same attention to detail and curve consciousness that highlight what makes women's bodies special!

 
The SLurl to Nymphetamine's main store in the Siren's Grotto won't be accurate for long!  Paeoti told us that she's building a new sim for her boutique and she hopes to open it shortly.  We can't wait to shop at Pae's newer and bigger store and see even more of her hot designs.

 
Finally, we asked HD and Paeoti a few unusual questions.  Find out about their favorite animation (available at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Apukohai/80/115/71) and learn why we can't provide SLurls to their favorite places in SL!

 
Start saving your Lindens for our next show.  In Episode 2 of Going Broke, we'll introduce you to our first Avatar of Style and tell you about some of the things we've heard and said in SL that would get us locked up in RL, while covering the best of the best of shopping in SL.

Introductions

Why are we doing this?

Goals of Podcast: 

1. Highlight high quality design and craftsmanship in:
   • clothing, accessories, jewelry, tattoos
   • physical appearance (skin, shapes, hair)
   • furniture and home goods
   • builds
   • stuff you can/should only find in games (wings, weapons, jet packs)
   • special category goods (Neko, Furry, Gor, etc.)
   • vehicles
   • gadgets and toys.
2. Highlight creativity in the above categories.
3. Encourage new designers, builders and scripters to aim for the highest quality.
4. Help SL residents spend their money wisely.
5. Spot new inventions.
6. Spot new trends.
7. Spot new designers/builders/scripters.

We will interview when we can, critique products ourselves when we can't.

It's not our goal to "trash" bad products, just highlight the good ones.

We won't tell listeners not to shop at certain places; though there are so many shops in SL, just because we don't mention a shop doesn't mean we don't recommend it.

We will also discuss other issues such as when a friend copies your style, or when you have problems with a vendor.

We'll feature things that you can say in SL but not in RL!

We won't solicit free merchandise from anyone.  We will accept it and explain that we will use it to critique the product.  We won't accept anything that isn't available for sale to the general public (or won't be available very soon).  We will disclose that we received free merchandise in the podcast, and incorporate more information (photos, prices) in the website.
