“Virtual style? In another life”
Financial Times Style Section
Still, says Cork-based Sabrina Dent, alias Sabrina Doolittle, of Linden Lifestyles, one of the leading Second Life online style publications (300,000 pages per month and a readership of 36,000): “Critically, there are no really effective advertising channels in SL, and therefore no in-game mechanism that allows a brand to dominate, no matter how much they spend. The playing field is still very even between real-world brands and in-world brands and, in fact, the real-world brands do a much poorer job of reaching consumers.”

(Fashionista) means someone who never wears the same outfit twice (if you can avoid maxing out your credit card, of course.) That is hard enough on a day to day basis, but what if the fashionista also has a Second Life? Sheer panic breaks out! Which colours suit your eyes best? Do you wear a handbag in a virtual world? Fortunately there is Linden Lifestyles.
