Surprise Critiques for Five Men's Clothing Stores – LadyLoveDr Reporting...


LadyLoveDr is off again on a mission!  This time, it is to surprise five random men's clothing stores and critique them one by one.  There's no holding back, and she has her own 5 star scoring system.  The more stars they got, the better they did.  The categories up for critique were fashion design, graphic design, price, store layout, and customer service.  Keep reading to find out where LadyLoveDr turned up, and how those stores scored on her 5 star scale. 

ZED: Designz for Men
Fashion Design                  
Graphic Design                  
Price                                   
Store Layout                      
Customer Service              
TOTAL STARS:  21 out of 25
Pros: Groupies get 25% off at their in-game store. They have 964 FREE items on their marketplace.  You can get a HUD teleporter in their port landing location.
Cons:  I found there was way too much lag to shop.  I even tested it on a different computer and had a friend test it as well.  Every time we were hit with a wall of lag. 
Suggestions: Take out the Bot Customer Service rep, it seems too impersonal.  Replace with online/offline employee boards.  Try to cut down on the lag so people can shop in-game.

Polo Paul 
Fashion Design                  
Graphic Design                  
Price                                   
Store Layout         
Customer Service              
TOTAL STARS: 20 out of 25
Pros: They have 4 lucky chairs and 2 midnight mania boards. Almost everything costs $55.

Cons: Their only freebie is on the marketplace. Everything is hung on the walls which makes it collage like and overwhelming to look at.

Suggestions: Offer a few free items at the in-world store.


Anarchy Store

Fashion Design                  
Graphic Design                  
Price                                   
Store Layout                      
Customer Service              
TOTAL STARS: 20 out of 25

Pros: They have a huge inventory with fair prices and are equipped with lucky chairs and gift cards for customers.  They have a special on sale section called the Bargain Basement and offer an affiliates package at their marketplace.

Cons:  They have no freebies and only 2 dollarbies.  The store was under construction at the time of my visit.

Suggestions:  Implement a teleport system that not only makes things easier to find but not such a long walk (Example:  Elevator with Options of Bargain Basement, 1st Floor Women's, 2nd Floor Men's, 3rd Floor New items, etc). Put prices on item posters.



FashionNatic
Fashion Design                  
Graphic Design

Hip Hop Clubs in Second Life -Piers Diesel Reporting...


Hip Hop is not only a music genre, it is also a culture. If you hit the clubs in Second Life you are guaranteed to hear old skool Hip Hop tunes of the latest hits on the billboard. However, if you are new to hip hop in Second Life and want to know where to go then here is a list to guide you on your way.
Hip hop just as in Real Life is alive and buzzing in Second Life. Here are some clubs we found.



Bootyliciouz Club
Opened back in 2007 plays Hip Hop and R&B is certainly a club where you will find the latest tunes being played. In the past it used to be buzzing any time of the Second Life clock with people dancing on the bar and also the dance floor, however when I went down it was empty. Don’t let that put you off though, as this could be the time of day I went down. If you and your friend(s) want to listen to Hop Hop music then this would be a good place to get the party started.





Soul Vibrations
This is a beach side club where the people are friendly.  The music is between hip hop soul and reggae. Anytime you go down there the place is always buzzing and no one bothers you. Everyone is just simply enjoying the music either dancing or relaxing near the ocean.

SOUL SENSATIONS

This is another beach venue where you will find Hip Hop as well as R&B, Soul, Funk and much more. It is a beach club couples as well as singles. A bit like Soul Vibrations in the venue lay out where the dance floor is in the open near the beach. The venue is always packed also the people are friendly.
There also other parts where you can TP to if you and your partner wish to dance somewhere else or just explore.

Serenity Groove
For those who want to listen to Hip Hop at home then there is Serenity Groove. An International Online Radio, that strives to provide its listeners with diverse programming daily. Here you will find a variety of music such as Hip Hop. Also R&B, House, Neo-Soul, Reggae, Dancehall, Talk Shows, Live DJs and Performers, and special events on a weekly basis.

If you are looking for Hip Hop music, you will definitely be able to find what you are looking for on the grid, as the demand for Hip hop increases the demand for new clubs to launch around the grid will also increase.
