Thank you all for your kind response to the first Be a Noob,
Just Don’t Look Like One feature in SL Newser. Thanks to your response Desirée
is motivated to find you more great ways to look super for less Lindens.
The Hipster Fair
That said, let’s waste no time talking about The Hipster
Fair, located on the sim of Wonderful Cove (http://maps.secondlife.com/
The one drawback at these events is the lag. Most of the
attendees are the bloggers and the fashionistas in Second Life™, therefore some
planning is required. If you are determined to conquer the fair early on—it
opened on January 22nd—you need to do a few simple things.
First, the best time to visit is during the hours that are
too late for the west coast of the USA, and too early for Europe, or about 2 AM
SL. Unfortunately, you will still have competition from folks in Asia, but it’s
the time when the least amount of residents are on.
Second, you are advised to decrease your own level of lag by
wearing few scripts, few clothes, and few HUDs.
As noted above, the fashionistas are in heavy attendance at these
events, and most of them would rather die than go without their intricate
outfits and multiple attachments. Desirée is not as concerned, and usually goes
to high-attendance events dressed simply. Some events (e.g. The Seasons Story)
go as far as banning residents whose rendering costs (how much lag they cause)
are too high. That is not the case at The Hipster Fair.
So, what goodies lie in store? All of the gifts below can be
found in the small shops in The Hipster Fair, at the SLurl given above. Here is
a small sampling. All of the items below are from The Hipster Fair and are one
Linden or Free.
As always, Desirée
tries to pose in places that may be of interest, or are featured in the Second
Life™ Destination Guide when she can (http://secondlife.com/

This is a bunch of items, all of which are from Shanti
Bohemian. The quality is only medium, but I like the Ganeesha statue.
Everything you see: Ganeesha, Om symbol, carpet and mesh dress are in the gift.
Picture 4:
What would Second Life™ be without the presence of the
Grumpy Cat? If you say “nothing,” then you will adore this cute top emblazoned
with the curmudgeon of feline fame. You can get it in The Hipster Fair shop
from SSW – a store whose full name can’t be printed here.
So, that’s the Hipster Fair freebie and dollarbie selection.
The sim also has gacha machines and you can buy plenty of items from the
stores. This event does not get Desirée’s highest recommendation, but it’s
definitely worth it to come take a look. Also, the two sims mentioned are most certainly meant for exploration.
