Shopaholics-not-so-anonymous



I’ll just go out there and say it, My name is Alessa Careless and i am a shopaholic….just like practically every girl out here right? Well, this week we’re diving in the heart of the shopping districts to see how SL as a whole fares on this really important issue! (okay not THAT important but geez can you drop it I’m curious!).

1- Do you consider yourself a SL shopaholic?

a. Alexandria Upshaw: no, i actually rarely shop, but my sister is definitely a shopaholic

b. Bessy Burns: umm i wouldnt say i was a shopaholic, no

c. Moonaco Porta: It is my work on sl to be. So yes I am

d. danni Reggiane: yes

e. Emily Darrow: I don't know if I'm can be classified as a shopaholic. I’m way beyond that.

Emily Darrow: I could wear 4 outfits a day for 2 years and still not wear everything I have

2- How do you fund your habit? In game job? From real life money?

a. Alexandria Upshaw: i used to be a stripper lol, but now i buy lindens someimes, and sometimes people in my family just give me linden

b. Bessy Burns: i have a dancing job and the tips are good hehe

c. Moonaco Porta: I have my own budget from rl for leasures

d. danni Reggiane: rich boyfriends

e. Emily Darrow: I build sims. Mostly for RL companies. Did a build for NesQuik

3- How much would you think you spend in game per week out shopping?

a. Alexandria Upshaw: i would say under 1000, i think i've spent only 300 this week, but i'm about to go buy shoes

b. Bessy Burns: i dont know.. i go thru periods of never buying anything, then i have a massive spree. maybe 500L a week if i broke it down

c. Moonaco Porta: I would say about 30K. But Alessa, this is my work.

(Editor’s note: Moonaco works for LE.LOOK! a inworld Group of fashion consultants; think SL’s version of what not to wear)

d. danni Reggiane: 1000

e. Emily Darrow: I like gothic gowns like this. gothic lolita style.

5- Who’s your favorite content creator and why?

a. Alexandria Upshaw: i shop at alot of places, but just looking through my inventory, i do have alot of things from Nyte'N'Day

b. Bessy Burns: i shop at artilleri LOADS. i just love the style.. its unique but not too weird lol . And theres a hint of retro

a. Alexandria Upshaw: no, not at all, your butt looks great ^^

b. Bessy Burns: no, your big butt makes your big butt look big. haha im joking :)
