(Or is Kitty looking in all the wrong places-AGAIN?)After a brief hiatus LeapyLee Cliffhanger is back in-world following me about, like a wee puppy, LOL! Regular readers will be aware that LeapyLee is in fact my RL Dad..but you’d be amazed at the amount of people who think/thought we were role-playing! Absolutely not! He’s my RL pop and he enjoys the social aspect of Second Life very much.  Alas, he doesn’t have much tolerance of my shopping addiction..he hates being dragged around stores with me (funny how SL emulates real life sometimes isn’t it?), but he certainly loves the dancing about and group banter to be found at ‘The Crown and Pearl’, or our more recent discovery, ‘World’s End’.  I’d like him to be a tad more adventurous and realise that he can wander around theworld on his own a bit more and make friends himself, BUT he’s content enough to join in on my exploits:) Alas, just like in real life I have to check myself when he’s around…swearing is a definite no-no, and if converstions turn a tad lewd I feel as embarrassed as I did as a kid when actors started snogging on the telly! One thing that is apparent though is that because he’s of a certain age he doesn’t have that many Lindens to spend in world (do any of us at the moment?) which means that freebie hunting is of paramount importance.  As a girl it’s much easier to find nicies in world, and unless you’re a cross-dresser you may find that your tastes aren’t as well catered to.  Fortunately for us lazy types there are some exlempary blogs around to help you find male-orientated goodness.

First up is ‘Free Finds for Men’ which does exactly what it says on the tin.  It’s bright, colourful and well written, featuring great photography and some superb finds. The categories are super useful and I’ve gotten Leaps some smashing new hair, eyes and outfits as a result.  My other recommendation is ‘Free For Men’ a clean, enticing blog that is festooned with photos and resulted in Leaps taking a trip to Little Nepal for some of the ‘Yak and Yeti’ goodies that were on offer.  Last but not least is ‘Edward’s Blog O’Freebies’, where the rather attractive Edward takes us along on his virtual journey and he blogs the freebies he finds along the way.  It’s another highly enjoyable read and certainly not to be missed! I’m really pleased to have finally discovered these freebielicious blogs, especially after the recent grid wide hunts that took place.  I took Dad with me and we worked as a team, but alas 90% of the wonders we found were for us female types, which made me feel a tad awkward for him.  Hopefully by finding these blogs and directing him to them I can redress the balance:)

Oh, and here’s a Kitty tip: Record the URL’s of your fave fashion blogs in the ‘Notes’ section of your profile.  That way when you’re at a loose end in world you can quickly refer to them and go and grab some nicies!
