Hmm.. I’m short. I’m skinny. I’ve got red hair. And I’m wearing a long coat. I’m Ryan!
In fact, it was Ryan who pointed me this plain black frock-coat from Gaslights Emporium. The outfit, sans hat, is available near the entrance to the store, along with both a free male and female skin. The ensemble, like most sets from the Gaslights Emporium, is very flexible, with the top part separated into a shirt, vest, and coat on the undershirt, shirt, and jacket layers. The ribbon tie is a prim accessory and the bottom of the coat is a prim skirt. The textures are somewhat dark (it is a black coat after all), but they’re not flat black. My only complaint is that the bottom of the jacket feels rather short. I had picked up one of the skins and originally planned to wear it, but decided against it after wearing the coat and seeing how short it was. Since the piece consists of multiple prims, its a bit harder to scale to size so I decided to go for a smaller shaped avatar. (more…)

I had a great time decorating for Halloween last year. I think one of the appeals of Second Life is the opportunity to do things that can’t be done reasonably or maybe even at all in Real Life. In addition to going a little crazy with the house and yard decorations, I also had, um, several different costumes for myself. You may not feel the need to go quite that far, but surely you’ll need at least one. Here are some ideas I’m playing with for this year, some new and some that have been around for a while. I only wore one of these last year, though, so I’m not just recycling things that are already sitting in my inventory! I’ve tried to include a mix of clothing costumes and avatars, although some costumes can be so elaborate that the line between often seems blurred. These are just some personal favorites of mine, and we’re by no means done for the season–you’ll undoubtedly see at least a few more seasonally themed items in the next few weeks.

The forecast calls for reign. I learned earlier this week that one of my favourite actors, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, will be playing Henry VIII, one of history’s most notorious monarchs, in a 10-part television miniseries called The Tudors*.
Meyers’ svelte appearance contrasts with the traditional visual portrayal of Henry which has been largely defined by artist Hans Holbein. In a move that seems to have perfectly aligned with the announcement, Solivar Scarborough of Second Thoughts (2t) released his own interpretation based on Holbien’s time-honoured image of the larger-than-life leader. Solivar’s Henry avatar includes a full skin, burly body shape, a suit of royal vestments and a built-in AO with a custom walk animation and 4 stand poses. But that’s not all! Do the words ‘free’ and ‘codpiece’ mean anything to you (if not, google it - you’ll be pleasantly surprised)? (more…)
