There has been a lot of talk about freebies lately. Some good, some bad, some...a bit indifferent to the entire freebie culture that lives in Second Life. I have too much of a shopping addiction to become an entirely freebie based woman, its sad, I know. However, I am often amazed at the generosity of so many designers and the quality of their freebies these days and never pass up the chance to use something in a 'look' when I can. Recently I saw a plurk that mentioned a new newbie pack and set out to see what it was all about. This required a newbie, of course! Popfuzz has put together a fabulous set of items for the newbie woman and has it available for all Second Lifers that are 30 days old or younger. I also ran by Long Awkward Pose and tried out their free AO, also to young sl-aged avatars. I am seriously amazed that I was able to use these items, a 10L hair from Magika and with a bit of playing with the shape came up with this more than livable AV, in under an hour. Had I been a true newbie, I would no doubt have spent any and all of my first lindens trying to create this look. I also would have made Popfuzz my number one store and, as a matter of fact, will be taking my Dina over there to shop around as well. Freebies may be a thankless gift sometimes, but they truly do bring in customers. This is my little thank you to both Popfuzz and Long Awkward Pose for their newbie free love, as well as Magika for the affordable and cute hair.  Granted, most newbies aren't going to know where to go for these items. If you see a newbie, be nice, don't give them a large body part that they wont ever figure out how to take off. Gently lead the poor lost critture to the freebie adventures and maybe, just maybe, you will be welcoming one of the next major content creators...or shopping addicted SLers...into their Second Life. Yea, I know, I'm lubbin the newbies today.The Newbie's Duds Skin by Popfuzz Tank by Popfuzz Jeans by Popfuzz Shoes by I have no idea, think I got them at her landing point. Bad blogger!
