• How do I earn event currency?
  
  You will gain some event currency ("Hearts") for each post that you make in the forums during the event.
  
  Additionally, you might gain some more by playing the game of chance every 15 minutes. But it's a true game of chance: you may win big, or you may walk away empty-handed!
  
  Chance Game Info:
  • Aces are LOW - don't be caught off guard!
  • Up to 5 pairs of cards to play every 15 minutes, if you guess correctly.
  • Cash out and collect your winnings, or risk losing the pot by guessing incorrectly the next round...your choice!

• What is event currency for?
  
  It's there primarily for you to be able to gain Event Items (EIs), which are our event rares. If you participate enough and earn a lot of event currency, you could get some commons too!
  
  Any unused event currency will roll over to the next event.

Can't wait for the first EI!!! [eager]

If the Commons are any indication.. star is gonna get very little sleep because she's gonna be posting like mad.

thank you for the purple items and reds and blacks and whites 'squee' .. gah im gonna be continuely broke this event haha.

Wow, you guys did an incredible job on the commons! They are gorgeous... Im going to go broke. [rofl]

I'm already pretty much broke, and I still haven't purchased everything i want. XD

I think everyones going to be broke after this event.

These items are fantastic. Seeing some great avis using the new items so far.

i love LOVE the recolors of the frostbite necklace and earrings! i've loved those items since i first joined!

I'm so getting as many of those as i can.. as soon as i has money..

The new event commons are amazing :3

Yeah, I would've loved some more male items. :(

The buttons were meant to be the embroidery equivalent on the gents stuff.
The embroidery was an experiment to see if people liked it too. So now we know. :)

i love the embroidery 'nods' its awesome. and i love how ic an stick it on other stuff to.

When an item will equip on both bases (eg, no skin pixels sticking through) we set them to "unisex" so anyone can easily equip them - there are only three items that were base-gender-specific this time ~ the juliet & ballgown for the female base (because of the narrow waist on it) and the pantaloons for the male (because of the thinner.. um.. butt).

But to address the question I think you're asking, the "Dandy" set was designed with guys in mind. [yes]

Yes thanks for answering. :D
