Tete a Pied is now Fleur. As ............wait! I just remembered!

Go to M&R Cupcake (I haven't figured out how to find this place other than putting it into the all search, looking at the one or two classifieds and clicking on the one for M&R Cupcake) - look for the two main entrances near the center of the building (as opposed to the entrance/exit that is at the end of one of the buildings). Pan your camera up. You will be looking for a picture with 12 faces on it - 12, in my opinion, high-quality skins for 12L. And - it will give you an example of what those skin lines look like without having demo stamped all over you. Plus you could just use those skins as is, for 12L.

Right, back to - Tete a Pied is now Fleur. RaC is now Laqroki (or something like that), Rosmarr (or something like that) joined up with whatever M is to become M&R Cupcake, etc. Oh, and in the in world "Another Shop" appears to be gone now - at least the one I knew about.

Savoir Hair has great free hair from many places.
Fabulously Free has shapes, hair, skin, full avatars, clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.
Sarah Nerd's Freebie Pa....is it paradise? has some nice freebie stuff.
I've found that there are some nice quality free stuff on OnRez and Slexchange. (Pixel Dolls has, I think, moved their free clothes to only OnRez/Slexchange, qualilty freebies).

Hair - ETD, Bishwear, Armidi (can't remember how that one goes), Gurl6, .... (heh, I can't remember the name of the place of the hair I am currently wearing), Detour.
Eyes - I'm wearing eyes from Winter Ventura's place, some nice freebies out there also (not that the eyes I am wearing were free)
shape - you appear to be happy fiddling with own shape so no need to mention shape shops (free or otherwise)
Skin - see this thread
the "naughty" bits - Xcite, Sensation

clothing - quality free stuff on OnRez/Slexchange. Free "everything this creator made before they left and gave up their stuff to do with as they please" clothing box at the Forum Cartel Hangout - on the deck. Truth may or may not still have their sale going. Awesome Designs has some quality stuff in the discount/newbie area (oddly I have never attempted to shop there after I stopped being newbie).

Shoes - you just missed the shoe expo. There are a rather nice pair of boots that I picked up at Detour.

Avatars - Grendal's Children has some quality avatars if you were interested in looking at non-human (and some human, I think), stuff - relatively cheap compared to other places.
