a lot
they should give you at least that peasant shirt at the beginning :(
it's hard introducing yourself naked and poor to a new community :(

I honestly can't remember. It was during the most recent event so I ran round naked getting stars till I think the third day. once I figured out the games Istarted making all sorts of gold for pretty outfits. Well games and roleplaying.

im still naked !! hahahaha I have no idea how long its gonna take me !!

3 days

About two hours after I joined...spent the first hour reading through lots of stickies and getting used to the site, then spent the next hour playing games and looking through shops for something I like. Ended up buying the Romantic's Black Pants as my first item because I really don't like the way those gray boxers look on me. XD

Haha. I've been here for like a day and a half (two nights) and still haven't gotten any clothing. Dunno why. Saving I suppose. There are few thing I like, but I keep I heard they have shops open only during the holidays with limited clothing, so I guess I'm just saving up everything I can to buy stuff in those shops :D

I don't mind wandering around in my underwear for a while XD

I got my first thing on the first day, it took me five minutes to get addicted to the games and make enough to get this dress, I'd rather not run around in my undies ><

I'm saving up for something that's near 1K I can't wait until the next event!

About a week...or two.

I'm on school computers so I can't play the games to make money. So all my gold comes from posting. And since I can't just run in, say a lot of random stuff and run out I actually have to find something meaningful to say or contribute in some way.

And since I only get about two hours a week to do all this... yeah.
Actually, a friend donated money to help me out. Without it I'd still be trying to get myself decent. ( not that I'm not trying now...but every little bit helps)

Took me around an hour, maybe only half an hour to buy my first piece of clothing.

it took 3 or 4 hours

i gots mine in 5 minutes :3

I remember I refused to post in the forums until I had covered my avatar, and in something other than the ragged shirt :XD That took me about an... hour, I think, of playing games and visiting both Hot Gossip and the 52 colors store. (Is that what it's called...?)

i haven't even bought anything yet >.<

Not too long, I got them within a couple hours of starting, but I just got cheapie ones so that my poor girl wasn't cold and naked.

I wish I had some!!!! lol

I cracked and bought my first items like 3 days in, it was the September CI set. I couldn't help it, it was the end of the months and I like them >__< Haha

I bought my leg warmers within a couple of hours.

I am in that process...
I am now trying to post as much as I can...while determining how long I will be on this website.

I think I would have had my first outfit around 20 minutes after joining the site, but I'm already saving up for something else, so I'm not planning on buying anything until I reach 4,500 gold. XD Hopefully I'll have it in time for Halloween. Mainly cause my dress is going to be Halloween themed. I'm excited about it. I've almost got 1000 gold!!! And it's only been 5 days since I joined. Honestly, I think I'm doing pretty good at earning gold here.

About an hour or so I guess.

I love these pants~ :3

I bought my first peice of clothing on my first day here, but it was nothing special. I as fully clothed by the second day, but I had a little help from the Newbie Closet.

After I've figured out that the gold earning system wasn't going to be as easy as Gaia I decided to play some of the games. (I read the sticky on how to earn gold)
Answer to your question.
Withing the first hour of being an active member to Menewsha.
=)

It has taken me since yesterday afternoon to get 80 gold. But I guess if I posted more/played more games, it would be easier to get some clothes.

I can't remember..
but i think i was either 16 or 17, i bought my first pair of shoes.
VANS!!
checkerboard design slip ons for $20.

I bought a shirt and tshirt the first day, pants and accessories the second, boots today and hopefully I can afford the headphones tomorrow :D

It's been really easy to earn gold so far, but I think maybe it's just that everything I like is really cheap? I've been mostly playing the games though, so I think that helps a lot :3
