Like in the real world, everyone in Second Life wants to look cool. One main difference between "first" and Second Life is that in the latter you can change things according to your wildest imagination. Check out some of these avatar images at PhotoBucket.
Shopping
After playing around with your avatar's form, you may want to go shopping and buy some new clothes. This is not only an exercise in unbridled vanity, it will also build basic skills like taking/purchasing things, checking your inventory, and putting on and removing objects.
Freebie Heaven: A shopping center where everything's for free! Pick up a bundle of new shirts, pants, hairdos, whatever, and try some of them out.
