“Where the fun lives!”

This funky little shopping district is more than just a wayside distraction. It’s an amusement park on the outside, but delve into the buildings and you’ll find a colorful assortment of high quality clothes and accessories. The topnotch stores simply vomit forth style and sophistication, and while it isn’t a very dense shopping area, you’ll still find a little of everything. I’m only highlighting a few places in this post, but rest assured, there’s plenty to see :)

Gritty Kitty a one-stop shop for neko gear - very much Pet-approved. You’ll find everything from geeky glasses to astro zappers to “deady” bears you just wanna gnaw on until your gums bleed! On your way out of Fishbone Flats, you’ll come across Kasey’s Lookout, a boardwalk of smaller shops and EtchD. It’s the only place I know where you can get some tats carved in ya AND chow down on a bucket of chum. Mickey D’s, make some way :D

There are also other nice shops along the way, a bunch with freebies and all worth a look. You can find a listing of the shops at Koreshan from their website. I picked myself up a spiffy panda helmet with Pixel at Chicanery. Adventure helmets!!!

Coming out the other end of Kasey’s Lookout, you’ll find yourself in front of a store which, I must say, deserves some honorable mention. Mina Junk is a place where you can find a fine collection of unique hand drawn skins. Mina Jun, the artist behind the product, combines realism with artistry, making these skins must haves for SL models. Of course, at L$1,000 a pop (no fat packs available), they may not be for the every-day shopper. If you do come this way, be sure to check out the freebies above and to the side of the entrance!

Another attraction you can’t miss is the theater around the corner from Draconic Kiss, which plays old, old cartoons non-stop. I mean seriously, I can sit here watching Popeye and Betty Boop all day. But then I’d never get to my next destination :)

Koreshan’s a real offbeat gem that my cutiepie found while hair shopping, and I’m glad she showed it to me. Come by and take a look around - there’s some cool architecture to behold, and if nothing else, come grab some freebies!
