Now, I was looking at the Whyville BBS in Dr. Leila's, and some of the most common things that I saw in there were things like: How do I get clothes and hair?? This question is asked by everyone, and not just by newbies. Let's face it: unless a friend has shown you the ropes already, or you already know how to get clothes and where to go, etc., it's kind of hard to figure out! So that's why I'm writing this article, because I know that it's hard being a newbie in a new place. Let's just say I've been there, and done and tried that.

For one thing, unless you go to Grandma's (she's the one who gives away donated clothes, furniture, bricks, etc.), you need money to get clothes and hair, a face, and accessories. If you want to know how to get clams, just go to the front page of the Whyville Times and click Search at the top of the screen. Then, type in clams and see what comes up. The articles there can and will help you!

Now that we're past the issue of clams, let's discuss HOW to get clothes. As I mentioned, one place to get clothes and a face is Grandma's. You can get to Grandma's from your pull-down menu on your bus on the left-hand side of the screen. The only thing about Grandma's is that, when the Whyvillians aren't donating things to her, then she doesn't have anything to give. Oh, and Whyvillians who have enough clams to get clothes, please don't take from Grandma too often, because then the people who really need the things from Grandma can't get them (since they're all gone)!

Okay, back to the subject. The most common place to get clothes, I think, is at Akbar's, which you can go to from the pull-down menu on your bus in the left-hand side of your screen. At Akbar's, for all of you who don't have a lot of clams, there's a Bargain Basement at Akbar's, just for you! You can search for parts you need at Akbar's, and also for parts that you just want. It's a really good way to find just what you're looking for, or if you just want to browse. Sometimes, for instance, if you just look up "hair", there are SO many parts with that name, and containing that word, that they may ask you to narrow down your search, maybe by looking for brown hair, black hair, blonde hair, or cool hair, rather than just hair.

As you can see, Whyville is there when it comes to helping out people of the community!

So to all of you oldbies and newbies who needed some Fashion Hope, I hope that I helped!
