Chances are that you’ve at least heard of Relay For Life, the annual overnight fundraising walk benefiting the American Cancer Society. The event is designed to further awareness of cancer prevention, treatments and cures; to remember those who have been lost to cancer and celebrate survivors; and to raise money for ongoing cure research. The Second Life embodiment of this effort is Relay For Life of Second Life. In 2007, through the efforts of 40 teams RFL of SL raised a grand total of over L$118,000! (more…)

So, the Discord Nightmare City sim is amazingly awesome. First off, its just got awesome atmosphere — divided into smaller streets and sections each with its own feel and type of product. I will admit, though, it is a little bit tough to move around since there is no flying and no teleporting. Second — the prices are rather low. The most expensive items I saw were AOs and extremely prim-heavy outfits, including typing animations, at 250L. And third (and definitely most important) the content is just frickin’ awesome.
Before I prattle on about the owner and his stuff, let me get my announcement out of the way. Starting, well, since the first of the month there’s a hunt/prize/whatever ya wanna call it at the sim. Currently, there are two outfits (one for a guy, and one for a girl) scattered throughout the sim as 12 heart shaped boxes. These boxes are tough to find. Which is why you have a lot of time to find em. Six boxes are parts for the guys, and six boxes are parts for the girls. The six parts for the guys include jacket, pants, prim skirt, left sleeve, right sleeve, and collar/tie. All together, they form the sei-sou outfit (in hana orange) that I’m wearing in the picture. Hunts liked these are planned as part of the future of the sim, so there will always be somethin goin on. (more…)

In Second Life we have the opportunity to express ourselves, via our avatars, in ways that may not be easily accessible to us or even possible in real life. Designer clothing may be daily wear for us in SL, while in real life it’s a luxury that may or may not be possible for us. Changing our skins and hair, though, is a different story—neither quick nor easy in real life, but a matter of a few simple clicks in SL. This issue’s theme is “The Body,” and in this column I want to share with you designs by a few of my favorite skin and hair designers–some new, some old favorites, some you might not have heard of, but I think all are doing great work.
One of my favorite skins in every aspect is “Antonio,” by Funk Schnook. When checking out a skin, I find that I always look first at the face, and I love the way Antonio’s feature detailing (including all the facial hair choices, which are very well done) works on my avatar. Two levels of muscle definition are available, and I remember Funk being a little surprised that he felt the skin worked well on my slim shape, as he had designed it with more “built” shapes in mind. Here you see the less-defined in the Pale skin tone, with the Stubble with Soul Patch facial hair option. L$1850 for a single skin, or L$4500 for a four-pack; demos available in the store. Available in four tintable skin tones and a variety of facial hair and makeup options at FNKY! (FNKY Cake 136, 69, 24). (more…)

So, I was trolling around on the web recently (I get bored at work sometimes, you know how that is) and came across Jesseaitui Petion’s blog, where he’s beginning to share pictures of the progress he’s making on his new skin, called “Reclaim,” currently in the works. I think it’s great when a designer is not only willing to let us in on designs in development but also interested in feedback along the way. Take a look, see what Jesse’s working on, and give him a little encouragement now and then–I think he’ll be glad to hear from you. He says he’s really taking his time, enjoying the work and loving the new skin. His current plan is to have “Reclaim” ready for release in January or February 2008. In the meantime, you can pick up his current skins, due to be discontinued at the end of November, at great sale prices: L$600 for “Premier,” L$900 for “Advance.” (more…)

I grew up for the most part in Southern California, and although I’m not a surfer myself I love the beach communities and their casual, laid-back vibe. Nothing says summer to me quite like the bead and shell jewelry you see on surfers all through the long, hot days of July, August and September. This new jewelry by designer KiKi Miranda would fit right in and be all the rage. KiKi recently joined the design team at Aitui and is bringing her own talents and style to Jesse’s established line. Her new Tapa Necklace and Tapa Bracelets for men feature simple beads in natural colors strung on leather thongs. The larger oblong beads are decorated with intricate designs inspired by traditional tapa cloth artwork, a beautiful touch that fits right in with the Polynesian and tropical influences seen elsewhere in the Aitui line.

Jesseaitui Petion has been designing hair for some time, and I can now confess that I was more than a little jealous of all the guys I saw wearing his great casual styles. This is because at first…there was no red. All the styles were black. I tried on the demos and sulked. I hinted once (okay, maybe it wasn’t so subtle, but I swear it was only the one time) that I’d be the first in line if he added reds to his line.
Now, among the other colors, there is red. I’m not taking credit, just making an observation. 
I’m covering here just a few of his extensive and growing line of hairstyles (coincidentally, these are the ones I personally liked best for myself): “Convincing”, “Last Flight”, “Sway”, and “Wayward.” (more…)

For those who have been hiding under a rock SL turns 4 years old this week. During all of our careers there have been many ups and downs - n’est-ce pas? - as we all go through our own growing pains in this surreal virtual space.
Within this anniversary week so much is in development or has occurred in the realm of culture relating to the Men’s Second Style blog as well as resident lifestyle in general.
Face of Asia Model Competition. Anyone who can coax those sliders in appearance mode to create a beautiful or handsome Asian shape is encouraged to enter this cultural modeling contest brought to us by the Asian Designers Summit. Contest guidelines can be found at the Women’s Second Style blog or by visiting the Men’s Second Style office, Casa Del Shai, Earthtones Boutique, Muse or Nicky Ree’s Boutique in-world. Face of Asia is open to all residents. Round 1 submissions close June 27, 2007 at midnight SLT.
Nora Body Skins by Sezmra Svarog. Since she teased audiences in mid-April with a sneak peak of her new generation of male skins in development I have been eagerly awaiting the release of her skins. This week, Sezmra displayed a more detailed vision of her skins - each appealing to a different segment of skin consumers: the toned “Hunter” and the svelte “David”. Nora is also offering up some SL4B freebies @ her shop and promises a rehaul of her store and sim.
Second Love Magazine. Tya Fallingbridge and Daphne Molinari announce this week the launch of Second Love Magazine on July 1, 2007. Second Love will be monthly PG publication covering a variety of issues affecting straight and gay residents whether in single, coupled or friendship relationships. The magazine will be accessible in-world and online. The launch party is set for July, 1st @ 7 P.M. SLT game time at Schmooze, Pixel Dreams (12, 146, 21).
As a reminder, if you are aware of any new designers or products that you discover during the week and would like to see included in this segment please look me up and IM me in-world.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Hope you enjoyed it and the kids were good to you.
Keeping the intro short, since I want to get this out as soon as possible.
The update I primarily want to bring to your attention is that Jesseaitui Petion of Renown By Aitui has added The 6 colours to several of his hairstyles. The previously released cuts which were exclusively in black are now being sold in ash blond, golden brown, brown, strawberry blond, red and black. “Convincing”, “Frontal Shag” and “Sway” have currently been revised with the new textures with the other styles to follow. He applies the colours to a new style.

Woo. This week had been … well … different. With the dawn of sculpted prim (”sculptie”) capability, many designers have wasted no time in incorporating this new feature into their products. The results are impressive.
There were actually quite a few new articles I wanted to include in this week’s round-up, however, there was just so much stuff that I couldn’t humanly cram it all in. That being said, I’ll quickly give those who don’t regularly check the forums or other style blogs the heads up that:
- Garbage Prototype of [Random] has created some jeans as well as a set of vest-and-tee combos (fyi, he’s really feeling Lily Allen at the moment).
- Jesseaitui Petion of Aitui Tattoo & Piercing/Renown has rolled out a slew of non-full body tattoos for both sexes at Aitui. He’s also put out flexi neck bandanas and v-necked longsleeves called “Three4th” in 4 colours. And lastly, he’s beefed up his Advance skins which now boasts over 70 skins in 3 light to dark skintones with various facial hair options.
- Lost Thereian of Naughty Designs has released some long-awaited short styles for men (“Dare” and “Modern Edge”).
- Mystikal Faddoul of Mystikal Hair Designs came out with “Brat”, a flexifed style with scultped hat.
- Nephilaine Protagonist of Pixeldolls puts sculpties to the test with a collection of tintable longleeves, jeans, and a velvet jacket.

This week has been pure madness. It’s been filled with family, party, headaches and it was all topped off by a wedding. Though, SL fashion was at the back of my mind. The sign of true addiction.
With all that was going on I couldn’t disappoint. With time quickly running out I bring you this week’s goodies.

I’ll keep this short and sweet. This week marked the appearance of some really fun, satirical and all around distinguished articles on the men’s fashion scene. Being a joker-at-heart, as soon as I saw Gadget Gobo and Caroline Apollo’s comical devices I ran down to their stores to take a peek for myself - laughing all the way. Sometimes we all need a little ludicrously funny distraction for our wardrobes. As always designers for all categories of items put out primo content whether you seek the ludicrous or the distinguished that we just can’t help but share with the masses.
While chasing answers to a reader inquiry I had the great fortune to stumble across a skin which may be something worth investigating for those looking for a non-athletic touch.
Dive in and see if there’s something within that suits your tastes.

Following some constructive and pointed feedback from our valued readers the format of this segment as been slightly adjusted. You are really making me work for this. But I enjoy a good challenge. Items have been arranged in categories and descriptions have been made more concise (3 to 5 short sentences each). Due to time and resource constraints designer-created images have been used in the product highlights. If there are any further comments you may have on the changes please feel free to post.
Is it any wonder that this was also a week that was rife with male fashion content? We’ve got a fairly diverse round-up with amongst the categories in addition to two sales. And of course I felt obligated to write about the quality products I saw and/or tried on.

I managed to wittle down this week’s bulletin to only four items, which affords me the opportunity to spend a little more time to focus on each. And I’m doing it completely guilt free.
For those who regularly follow the blog this marks the fourth week we’ve put out this weekly wrap-up and we’d appreciate your feedback since we’re doing it for you, kids. Is it working for you? Not working? Are you completely ambivalent or uncaring? We want to know and can handle any criticisms you may have.
While you’re taking some time to mull it over take some time to scan this week’s trendy tidbits.

What hath Catero wrought?! I wanted to start this segment as a means to briefly sum up seven days worth of men’s style news while still fulfilling the commitments of the real world and maintaining some level of fun in Second Life. There were tons of stuff that warranted coverage this week! Some designers have kept me busy with multiple product releases and the skin market has been in overdrive, not to mention the opening of Hair Fair ‘07.
I highly suggest that you surf the waves of lag and visit Hair Fair. Several stylists (old and new) have some interesting styles for their male customers and its a great opportunity to see where in-world hair trends are heading. Did you know that the AVEDA institute established its presence in SL this week (check the details on the ETD blog)?

It’s often difficult to balance one’s real life with one’s Second Life pursuits. As a reviewer I am often riddled with a guilty conscience when I am unable to complete product coverage on some of the great items I view on a weekly basis. I can only imagine whether Ryan and Ben also suffer from Reviewer’s Remorse Syndrome (RRS) or not.
Efforts to soothe my inner turmoil have given rise to ‘This Week in Men’s Fashion’ where I hope to give concise overviews on some of the quality goods popping up all over the grid that enhance the male shopping experience. Through commenting, please lend us your thoughts on this trial component for the blog.
With that being said, let’s take a look this week’s offerings by:

Designer Jesseaitui Petion of Renown has some of the best cloth textures around, and he’s putting them on some of the most interesting shirts I’ve seen in recent memory. If you’ve seen our reviews of (or own!) some of his other shirts, you already know what I’m talking about. Jesse’s new Sexy Button-Down Shirts are aptly named–they are the sexy, and high-class sexy at that. Jesse knows that sometimes a guy just wants to show off what he’s got, and he’s not afraid to help you do just that. You could wear a plain tee under these…but why? (more…)

He claimed his focus was purely in creating tattoos and that the possibility of developing a clothing line was highly improbable. No interest whatsoever. Then came Renown. He said he would never design skins. Totally out of the question. Less than a week ago Aitui Premier skins were released. The bottomline: there’s no convincing Jesseaitui Petion to not use his creative talents. Ladies and gentlemen, he can’t even convince himself.
Within a short period Petion has expanded his brand beyond body art to include apparel and now skins. The line debuted with the “White” mid-toned skin (pictured left), closely followed several days later by a lighter “Fair” and nicely bronzed “Island” tones. The inspiration for developing the skins was born from two motivators: a desire to (1) accomodate variance in the skin market, and (2) provide more cost accessible options. (more…)

Have you ever noticed how the International Male catalog just follows you around? I mean, once you’re on the mailing list–and who knows how that happens in the first place?–it’s for life.You can move and leave no forwarding address,but it’ll find you. It’s always just there, waiting in the mailbox. Or, hmm,maybe that’s just me. These slick new lace-up shirts by Jesseaitui Petion of Renown feel to me like upscale re-interpretations ofone of those”classic” IM designs (undoubtedly called something awful like “Pirate Shirt”) that you might look at in the catalog but never order, or order but never wear, or wear but wonder if you’re really pulling it off. If you say these are a bit of a leap for most guys, I’d agree, but I’d argue that they’re one worth making. They’re beautifully textured, have a great, slinky fit, and have already earned me some compliments. (more…)

The New Year marks a new venture for tattoo artist Jesseaitui Petion of Aitui Tattoo which has successfully been inking avis for several months now. This week Petion expanded his brand with the release of his apparel line, “Renown”, which reflects the gritty and articulate style he is well-known for. The line debuts with a collection of body-sculpted henleys, polos, tees, tanks and thermals in sombre, muted tones with some vivid graphic elements. The shirts are carved with Jesse’s distinct layered illustratives - some of which resurface the themes and motifs of his body art. His dimly-lit color schemes are contrasted with a series of slogans where Petion shows his humorous side: “Shakespeare hates your emo poems”, “Death: Our nation’s #1 killer”, and “For Rent” are just some of the inscriptions emblazoned across the pecs. His approach takes the novelty out of the tees and creates a visual ballad of pixelated textiles. (more…)
