Hi Everyone! It's ten.ten.! Ameba Pico has been gracious enough to present us with releases after releases filled with new and awesome clothing to buy and dress up our Picos with. I don't know about you but I'm very particular with my Pico clothing and sometimes the preview just doesn't do the clothing any justice.

What I find myself doing is holding off on buying pricy items until I see what they look like being accessorized with and worn by other Picos! Even when I do buy an item, I don't always know how to coordinate it. Where might you be able to find such new items being worn almost as soon as they are released? I'm here to tell you.

Well First I hang around in the room where you can buy the item this is to see if anyone is wearing any of them. It's rare but it does happen! If that isn't cutting it, I'll then go to my favorite spots to scout out new clothing buyers.



Off to the Japanese Parks! I'd call this place the most popular spot for new items being worn. Most of the fashionistas go to the Japanese park to show off their newly purchased goods. I call the Japanese park the fashion capital of Pico. You'll find some of the newest, cutest and or weirdest clothing coordinates you'll ever see on the game. The Picos here go big or go home. They don't care if their coordinates are practical or not and that's what I love about this area. You'll see layer after layer of clothing and or wigs!!



The second spot I check for the hottest coordinates is in the Pico High school room. This place was dead to me for the longest time until I found it to be a fashionista hiding spot. You'll usually find a group of Picos not paying attention to the teacher and talking amongst themselves. These Picos might not be the sharpest tools in the shed (compared to the student that got all A's) but just so happen to be the sharpest dressed.



If you still haven't found anything that piqued your interest. Then I suggest Fashion show hopping. Stick around and you might find your dream coordination! Good luck and Happy dressing!

Sitting tight in the Ooku Hallway

Written by: ten.ten.!

Hello! This is ten.ten.! Recently I have been taking time out once a day to lend my Pico behind in the Ooku Hallway! The Ooku Hallway is in the time machine’s Edo category. Many Pico’s are familiar with this infamous area as it is the next to the last star in our Pico Guide journal. To meet the Edo lord, 27-30 Picos need to stay seated on one of the red cushions. If only it were that simple!

With that being said this area is a huge troll magnet! You have 2 types of trolls that frequent the Ooku Hallway:

• those who will only sit if they obtain a certain number of props; and
• those who will not sit no matter how many times you ask them to sit.

You can easily overcome the first troll. I suggest you prop them; it is that simple. I understand that you don’t want to reward their bad behavior. However, it is a win-win situation. There are two possible outcomes, both of which are in your favor:

1. they obtain the desired amount of props and sit; or
2. they obtain the amount of props and leave.

If they sit, then that’s 1 Pico closer to meeting the Edo Lord. If they leave then that makes room for another Pico who may actually play by the rules.

The second troll is a little bit harder to overcome as they feed off of your attention and annoyed reactions. With the second troll you can try to beat them at their own game by in turn annoying them until they leave (not recommended), or sit patiently and ignore any behavior they are showing.



It’s a game of patience and my tip for you is to stay seated, open another webpage and surf the web. Check back every couple minutes to wake your Pico and check your star guide. I suggest you never give up nor stoop to their level. In the end you'll be victorious; it might just take a while. Also to those who have already obtained a star please help a fellow Pico out by lending a hand ... err I mean butt.

Note: Thank You to [0OoOo0] for being my Pico model.

The many reasons I love Pigg

Written by ten.ten.

Hello everyone this is ten.ten. and to coincide with Ameba Pigg: 2 year anniversary celebration I'd like to congratulate the Ameba Pigg team by sharing what makes Pigg special. For those of you who may not know, Ameba Pigg is the older sibling of Ameba Pico. While Pigg is older than Pico and has a Japanese interface that's not the only difference between the two. With over 2 million players there are good reasons as to why the numbers keep growing.



Get style.
First, I'd like to mention the fashion and shopping aspect of Pigg. One of the largest aspects of Pigg is the number of items it offers. There are new items added and rotated out fairly quickly! For the shop-a-holic it may murder your Pigg wallet but remember it's not in vain. Pigg frequently collaborates with real life companies and artists as well, such as Sanrio (including Hello Kitty), AKB48, Disney, BAPE, AneCam Style magazine, Doraemon, and even Gundam Wing! Pigg has over 50 shops and definitely meets the demands of the Pigg fashionista or interior designer.



Get loaded.
If you're over the age of 18 in Pico you may be familiar with the casino. Pigg being the older sibling takes things to a whole different level. Pigg allows players to purchase gems and when used during the game it gives the player an advantage unique to the game. For example, if you use a gem in Blackjack you will always receive an ace as one of your cards. Pigg recently opened the VIP area complete with new VIP items. You must be a Gold card member to even enter the area and maximum bets are up to C$25,000!



Get game.
Say you are under the age of 18, the Tsuri (Fishing) Game gives you a great sense of accomplishment. This game allows you to choose from 5 areas and 4 levels to play in. If you catch all the fish in an area you can unlock wonderful prizes and if you prefer you can even buy a pet penguin! If gambling isn't your thing then fishing gives you another niche to fit into.



Get involved.
Last, but not least, are the players and the company. Pigg works very hard to constantly provide items and hold events to keep their members logging in frequently. Even Japanese celebrities play the game. Ne-Yo held a fan meeting event through Pigg, and on February 23rd The Black Eyed Peas will hold a Q&A session! Currently there are 3 events being held. Very recently Pigg will be opened a new area which NASA/Space themed! Please applaud Pigg for doing such a great job and if you ever find yourself bored on Pico remember Pigg is just an URL and a click away!

Ameba Pico Scam

Written by ten.ten.

Hello, I am e-mailing you because I think you are a very well known Pico blog and can potential warn many people of the dangers that can be found on Pico. I have recently been contacted by a Pico by the name of [ßυииiε cнαи]. I added her with the pretense of her being another kind Pico player but immediately she started asking me if I would like gold. I told her that I don't need it hoping she wouldn't ask me what I thought she would.

She gave me the story of "her mother letting her give away 1,000 gold to a pico friend and she chose me". I said well "how will you give it away" she said she just needed an E-mail and Password. I signed off after that.

I signed on again later in the day and she immediately asked me once again do I want gold. Most was over PM but here is a bit of the conversation from chat.

(21:32) ten.ten.: What do you need to give gold?
(21:32) ßυииiε cнαи ♥: password and email

Please warn fellow new and old pico's of this person. She's extremely convincing.

Thank you so much for your time, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
