New York, New York (PRWEB) March 29, 2006 -- *IRL* (in real life), it’s still a national pastime for teens to spend their weekends at the mall, but for thousands of teens nationwide, virtual shopping is *ALDT* (all that). The Starpoint Galleria welcomed several exciting updates to its online store, adding enhancements in the cosmetics, lingerie and denim departments, it was announced today.

The Galleria is the largest virtual clothing store within the imstar* instant messenger program. All clothing is available for avatars immediately.

“On the heels of a successful Golden Globes evening wear collection, we decided to update our cosmetics department and sprinkle some surprises in other areas as well,” said Pam Quandt, store manager for Starpoint Galleria and Marketing Director for Bandalong Entertainment, makers of imstar*. “Our 50 thousand avatar customers demand that we stay current and the fashionistas among them don’t like to be seen in the same outfit twice. Rather than restrict our inventory to four seasons, we enhance departments as we design and/or purchase new inventory.”

The Galleria offers the following items available for avatars immediately:
Cosmetics: Teens looking to pair a glamorous evening look with soft, smokey and sultry eyes will flock to the new additions in this department. Keeping the collection eclectic and real, imstar* adds Manga lipstick and expands its eyewear line with the new shades including: Eye Candy Eye Shadow, Ethereal Beauty Eye, Shadow, Manga Eye Shadow, Dark Goth Eye Shadow and Smokey Eye Shadow.
