You know, this might just be the last sweater in this series. Not because I don’t have more lined up and ready to go—as a matter of fact, I do!—but because there are, of course, other things. Like coats. Don’t worry, I’ll do something else before moving on to more winter wear, but I do think I feel a coat or two coming on. Maybe three…we’ll see. (more…)

It isn’t always a simple task to make “dressing up” look effortless and natural. Traveller Bade makes it his singular mission to assist you in this endeavor, and his fine men’s clothing store is just a click away, should you require his services. The very name “Sartoria” tells the tale: your every fine sartorial sense will be spoken to, your every refined sartorial whim indulged. In this case, I would argue, self-indulgence is not necessarily a vice. (more…)

Nope—I haven’t run out of sweaters! Not yet. I’m sure you were wondering, those of you following along at home. But yes, I do have some other things to share, a bit more variety waiting in the wings. But check outside—isn’t it chilly? Just a little? It’s still Winter out there, and my inventory hasn’t crashed the asset server yet, so here’s one more warm-and-fuzzy sweater for your consideration. I do have even yet still more to come, at least a few, but I’ll try to mix things up a bit, here and there, to keep things interesting. (more…)

I know what you’re thinking—Christmas is over. It’s true, December 25 has come and gone. But there are, after all, twelve days of Christmas, and I like to make the most of it. Only just today is it Twelfth Night, the Feast of the Epiphany, and I’m still listening to holiday music at home, although I’ve moved on almost exclusively to instrumental recordings. I kind of can’t stand it that the Christmas decorations are out for sale before Halloween, but I do like to let the season wind down gracefully and naturally across all twelve days. (more…)

Before we return to the Showcase of Sweaters, as indeed soon we must, there’s one other very fine formal suit I want to share with you. After all, if you’re keeping up with this blog in real time, you still have time to go shopping for that perfect something for your New Year’s Eve festivities. It’s not too late! Ric Dulce’s “Douglas” Formal Tux is a fine piece of clothing design at a price that seems, quite simply, too good to be true. Well, it does appear to be a “promo” price of some kind, so while it may actually be too good to be true, I suspect it is too good to last. Consider yourself forewarned. (more…)

Candace Hudson’s Cable Knit N Blues sweater/scarf combo is a superbly handsome example of the form. The sweater is a very deep charcoal, the better to coordinate with pretty much anything, and the set includes not just one but two scarves: a more conventional “narrow” scarf fitted around the neck, and a more substantial “wide” scarf that’s wrapped around both shoulders. An optional matching headband doesn’t cover your ears and may or may not keep you warm, but it certainly coordinates nicely. The sculpted turtleneck collar, sleeve cuffs and sweater bottom make the fit look appropriately but not overly bulky. (more…)

Jesseaitui Petion’s rigged-mesh Schofield Sweater is perhaps less obviously wintry in its styling than Guapo Hansome’s more traditionally constructed College Bound Cardigan, but it’s equally well suited for crisp, cold weather and fun activities that go along with that. The texture work is smooth and delicate, and the sweater’s weave has a lovely sheen. The loose, deep cowled collar might suggest the risk of catching a chill, but since it’s never really cold in SL, why worry? Four different tattoo-layer alpha-channel “invisibility cloaks” are included, to ensure that your avatar doesn’t show through inappropriately.

…keeps Old Man Winter away? Something like that.
Now that it’s officially Winter, it feels right and appropriate to share with you some sweaters I’ve been saving up for when the weather finally began to get cold where I live. (Those of you in the Southern Hemisphere should feel free to follow along, but of course you should also feel free to enjoy wearing shorts and flip-flops while you’re at it.) Now, please don’t get the idea that I’ll be presenting a new sweater here every single day. That would suggest far too much organization on my part, in spite of the title of this little series of short-and-sweet posts I’m planning. But I do have several lined up that I think are worth sharing, and I’ll be doing that, one at a time, for a while, until I feel like moving on to something else. (more…)

Not just anyone, and certainly not everyone, can be a dandy. My own image of the contemporary dandy is quite specific: Richard Jeperson, investigator for the Diogenes Club. Perhaps you’ve heard of him? Although little is known of his background, he is perhaps as well known for his flamboyant 1970s dress sense as for his psychic investigative work on behalf of perhaps the most secret branch of Britain’s secret intelligence services. Along with his sidekick and fellow operative Vanessa, he has been responsible on any number of occasions for preserving the safety of Britain, and perhaps the world, in the face of supernatural forces beyond our understanding.
Oh, and also—he’s fictional. But that doesn’t keep him from setting the bar pretty high when it comes to dandy. No indeed, it does not, believe you me. (more…)

I’m still exploring the Wonderful World of Mesh, slowly but steadily. It’s interesting and encouraging to see the increasingly polished and sophisticated design work being done. Of course here I’m thinking specifically of clothing items, but I’ve seen some remarkable pieces of furniture and other creations as well. Although opinions vary and mesh is by no means a magic bullet for any of the clothing issues we’ve grumbled about for so long, I think it has some great features. Properly rigged, mesh garments are able to move impressively with your avatar—and neither skin-tight, like garment-layer clothing items, nor segmented, as prim or sculptie attachments that span joints necessarily are. I also love the level of textural detail that’s possible, which far surpasses what can be done with garment-layer clothing textures. (more…)

Life is interesting.
Real life has been particularly interesting for me of late. And when I say interesting, I mean interesting in the way of the old Chinese curse. I’ve recently become suddenly (but not entirely unexpectedly) unemployed, which among many other things has been, as I mentioned, interesting. (In case you’ve been wondering, this is the main reason I haven’t been around much since Halloween.) It’s nothing to worry about, at least not yet–I’m not alone in the world, we have savings, I qualify for unemployment benefits, and there’s also a surprisingly decent severance payment coming from my (now former) employer. At the end of it all, maybe it’s just time for a change.
Which brings me to today’s topic. Changes in life may or may not be scary, but in my experience they are, more often than not, disruptive. I’m still having fun here, and as you may remember that’s my main criterion for what I do and don’t do in SL. I’ll still be around, possibly now even a bit more than before–my real challenge may be not screwing around in SL all day when I should be, you know, looking for a job–but some things may well change. For starters, don’t be surprised if I discover and share a new fascination with bargains! Seriously though, I do still have some stuff in the works, some of it unfortunately delayed by RL events, but there it is.
The future had better watch out, because here we come!

In J-horror (and to a certain extent in horror from Asian countries other than Japan) there’s a well known archetype: the scary girl with long hair. She is traditionally a ghost or spirit, often with a horrifying face and inhuman skin, and she is most definitely scary. She is almost always bent on vengeance for wrongs done to her in life. Think of the central supernatural figures in “Ringu” (“The Ring”), “Ju-On” (“The Grudge”), and “Janghwa, Hongryeon” (“A Tale of Two Sisters”, actually an example of K-horror )—you’ll know just what I mean.

For those of you keeping score at home, yes, I’m still powering my way through the Bare Rose folder in my inventory. Hey, if I’m lucky I may empty it out completely before the end of the year! Well, unless I make another shopping trip in the meantime. Another great ensemble (slash outfit, slash costume, slash roleplay gear) I found stashed in there is “Voyager 3b”. This is a fully detailed and outfitted astronaut’s spacesuit, complete with oxygen supply hoses and gleaming helmet. These are good things, too, unless accidental asphyxiation isn’t a problem for you. (more…)

For Halloween this year, or rather for the ongoing series of run-up parties and gatherings I’ve been enjoying attending, I’ve been sorting through the shockingly large accumulation of outfits and avatars in my “Bare Rose” inventory folder. Needless to say, it’s been a fascinating experience. How did so many things from Bare Rose pile up? I only wondered that until I remembered how a typical shopping trip to that amazing store tends to go, at least for me:
- TP to Bare Rose
- Wait for new-items vendors to rez
- Wait for vendor textures to rez
- See something delightful that I can’t live without
- Click to buy
- Go to step 4 and repeat until crash or time for dinner, whichever comes first (more…)

Ray Bradbury has written rather famously over the years in books and story collections about things deliciously and delightfully macabre. Evocative titles like Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Halloween Tree and From the Dust Returned hint at the fantasies and wonders to be found in the pages that lie between the covers. Of all Bradbury’s strange and wonderful autumnal fantasy titles, perhaps none more so than The October Country seems somehow to speak directly to something deep inside, something visceral, something primal. Ray’s vision is of not just a time of year but an almost-actual place where everything is slightly askew, where the weird is not at all unusual, and where the Pumpkin King reigns supreme. In autumn, the leaves fall and rot gently into the soil, the green of summer grass long gone. In autumn, the air turns crisp and cold, and often smells of bonfires. In autumn, jack-o-lanterns gleam and spirits roam the earth. In autumn, we journey into the October country. (more…)

Those of you who have been following along here for a while will surely know that for quite a long time I wore almost exclusively my own shape, for pretty much everything. What you may not know is that, while I’m still recognizable as that boy who emerged fresh from Orientation Island in July 2006, my shape has indeed changed over the years. I have the whole “History of Ryan” in my inventory, from Ryan 1.0 on up—I think the current version is 3.2b. All the changes have been relatively minor, some less so than others, and I haven’t made many changes at all in probably the last year or so. (more…)

It is not widely known that the Fae Airborne Legion played a critical role in several key victories during the Clockworks Campaign of 1864. In fact, the very existence of the Fae Airborne Legion is not widely known. This is doubtless due to the fae people’s resistance to fame and publicity. Written history (human, of course, as the fae keep no such tradition) is all but mum on the subject. Nonetheless, oral histories of fae and human alike document and retell tales of decisive victories, such as the one at Gorham Grange, that would surely have been routs but for the contributions of the FAL.

Trace Osterham of Theosophy has made a rack full of probably the best sculptied prim tied bowties lindens can buy. They’re called Disserth, and they attach to chest and can be easily moved up or down to fit any buttoned-collar shirt you wear. At L$100 for a three-pack, they won’t break the bank either. My suggestion is to spring for the fat pack: 27 bowties for L$450 is half price. NoTransfer. Takaraduka (165, 142, 32).

The place where the sea meets the shore is magical for him. In the hissing of waves receding across wet sand he hears the echo of teeming life.

I don’t do a lot of event announcements, but this one seemed worth mentioning, especially considering how much time I’m spending there myself this afternoon. The Men’s 24, hosted by KMADD, presents a wide range of some of the best designers for men in SL. In addition to new and already-available creations, you’ll also find a bunch of event exclusives, with only 100 at most being sold, and then they’re withdrawn forever. I’m posting this as I head off for my own second round of browsing and shopping, so you may see me there. If you do, say hi! Hit the link to TP directly: KMADD Events 141, 106, 28. But don’t mess around! The event only runs through the end of this week.
P.S. Sorry for no other post this weekend–I do have something in the works, but I didn’t quite get it put together yesterday. And, as you can see, today I’ve been distracted by something shiny.

Summer isn’t just about shorts, sandals and tees. I know, I know—it’s tempting, and it’s also how I dress pretty much every Saturday, all summer long. But there are still occasions and circumstances that call for something more. Do you have a job interview at which you must not fail to impress? An unexpected dinner invitation to the White House? What about that seemingly ill-advised September garden wedding? You’ll need something dressier. (more…)

Thrashin’.
Gleaming the Cube.
Lords of Dogtown.
You recognize them, of course you do, these classics that immortalize skate culture. For context, I could also mention The Endless Summer, given skate culture’s arguable origins in and ties to surf culture. (Just be glad I didn’t mention Solarbabies or Prayer of the Rollerboys. You think I’m joking, but I’m not.) Each of these pillars of cinematic excellence puts its own spin on skater style, acknowledging the influences drawn from punk, surf and beach-city fashions. One could learn a great deal from how Josh Brolin, Christian Slater and Emile Hirsch outfit themselves.
