The GNUbie store is the brainchild of Jai Nomad who has been a Second Life resident since July 2003. The place is simply packed with L$0 and L$1 items, with consistently high quality. The two level building houses the work of residents both recent and far-from-recent; even the venerable Toy LaFollette still has her work displayed here.

For the most part the store is laid out in such a way that even folks who have a little trouble with their camera controls can still use it fairly well and there is a wide range of interesting goods to be picked up here, some of which can be modified, and many of which are transferable.

As a consequence of Willow Zander's article on inventory, I noticed that she recommended ETD hair. So ... I went to find some, in the interests of science and this blog.

Within five minutes, I had begun to understand Willow's inventory overload. I bought the spikey hair shown here, in a variety of colourways, and explored the huge choice of hair styles and colours.  It's pretty well laid out, with signposts for the different types of hair, short, long, up styles. I like this place, and I like Washu Zebrastripe's shop, Mirada, where a lot of different hair makers all display their wares, in Alua, which is definitely worth a look too.
