So summer is in full swing for me. That means humidity and frequent thunder storms. But back home, on the other coast, summer means sun, beaches, and kicking back to relax and take care of things you forgot over the last few months. So I brushed the dust off my inventory and took a look at what freebies have been sitting there unused and untouched.
First off is a bit of beach wear from Neko Gear. This stuff is at least a good month old, gathering dust in my inventory as I’ve got way too much swim wear. Some of this stuff was covered by Adaire and Gecko over at free*style about a month ago. I’m wearing the beach towel freebie over my shoulder (you can lay it down too), along with a beach shirt, board shorts, and flip flops. I tend to avoid wearing logo branded freebies just because I don’t like being a walking advertisement, but the ones here aren’t that bad or overly flashy. They all kinda just fit together. Out of the box, the flips are a tad small but all of this stuff is modifiable and thus can be resized to fit rather easily. (more…)

My friend Itny told me to head to a store called [insert cool name] a while ago, but (as is usual) I forgot. She reminded again a few days ago, and this time I went right after she told me. I found a nice box of goodies there for 1L. Curious to see if I could find more, I checked through the group history and found a few more things. As I was busy poking around, I ran into Malte Antfarm, the owner of the store. Malte is a pretty nice guy, and we ended up talking for a bit. As I was talking to him, the topic of his next freebie came up.
I mentioned that guys tend to get plenty of shirts, but everything else is much less common. Therefore, why not make his next freebie a pair of pants? Sure enough, a day or two later, Malte dropped the shirt and pants I’m wearing here on the group. I’m pretty sure he mentioned that they’d be packaged in the box as well for when they age out of the archives. Anyway, enough back story, on to the clothes. (more…)

Last Sunday, rather early in the morning, I saw a notice for new freebies from Alphamale. The first thought that crossed my mind was, “Finally, took Yelmer long enough … the girls had some freebie lingerie months ago!” I had been waiting a while for this and I was quite excited. Normally, when I get notices from large groups about an item, I tend to wait an hour because fighting for a spot on a full sim isn’t worth it — you can just wait a bit and there will be no one around landing on your head, etc. But after waiting about 30 seconds, I thought “Screw the others, I want that freebie” and teleported in. Luckily for me, not a lot of people are on Sunday mornings and the sim wasn’t too too crowded.
After chatting it up with Yelmer a bit (for the record, Yelmer and Mariska are very nice people — if you see them at the store y’all should say hello) I head home and tried on the new clothes. The wait was definitely worth it. (more…)

Before we start, you must first know that my friend Zazen always has the coolest toys imaginable. This is important information for you to know. So, the other day I was hanging out on my mile-high work platform (okay, it’s about 600 meters or so) when I heard a thump. This was quickly followed by a muttered “Oh dear.” A quick camera check showed that, as you may already have suspected, Zazen was indeed hovering just beneath the platform, where he had unwittingly bonked his head trying to fly up and see if that dot at altitude on the minimap might be me. It’s always nice to have the opportunity to catch up with Zazen–any excuse will do, really–and as I mentioned there’s the cool toy factor. This time my notice was irresistibly drawn to his boots, which were impressively constructed and animated with some really spiff effects. I had to know, so I asked. A landmark was immediately forthcoming. I went, I saw, I shopped. And here we are. (more…)

The last few days, I’ve been hoping on and off (more on than off) that the “unseasonably warm” temperatures in my RL home city (Los Angeles) will return quickly to milder and more usual weather. Please, God, let the meteorologists be meaningfully right, just for once. I know it will be 110 Fahrenheit degrees plus in September, but right now it is quite frankly too damn early in the season for this nonsense. (more…)

Especially now that I’m no longer in the competition, I figured why not discuss the “freebie” version of my entry to the Muism Contest. The majority of the items will of course come from Muism, but a bunch of others come from other spots.
To figure out what to wear, I decided to go through all the Muism freebies I’d collected over time. My first Muism product I ever tried on was their Xmas gift from last year, a red suit. I don’t get to wear that suit often enough. Next, I put on their racing jacket (which is still available, btw — it was recently added to the archives again). See, I told you it’d be handy in a costume 
.Anyway, I noticed a bit of a common trend — Muism seems to like red in freebies. Perhaps I’m (actually I know I am) taking a bad sample space, but I decided to try on a few other red things. (more…)

I’ve been having some recurring issues with my wrists of a late, so typing has become more of a pain. Therefore, I’ll let the pictures do more talking and minimally explain the relevant information. First off, I’m wearing a free sweater, scarf, and sunglasses from the Rahz II Store. There’s also a free necklace available there too. The store has a 50L sale going on where some of the items (often packs of 2 to 3 shirts) are sold for only 50L. It doesn’t apply to every item in the store though, so keep an eye on prices. The items are mod no copy so pick up a few and tint away. The hair is Sleek in “Faded Chestnut”, available for 1L from ETD. (more…)

Serendipity makes me happy.
There I was, minding my own business the other night, and I can’t remember if I was bored or not but I was certainly open to adventure, or at least a diversion. So when I more or less idly asked Posy what she was doing, and she responded “Trying on some new glasses I bought, and there’s a beautiful pocket watch too!” I immediately said, “TP me? Please?” In short order I arrived at the small but handsomely appointed shop of Pavig Lok. Although Posy hadn’t gone into specifics, she knew that Pavig’s gorgeously detailed steampunk creations would be right up my forbidding Victorian alley. She’s a temptress that way. And she was right–Pavig’s vendors showcased some very intriguing glasses and a truly elegant pocket watch. I thought to myself, “I’ll have the lot!”
Little did I know that I would receive so much more than I expected, based on the unassuming advertising placards I saw in the shop. (more…)

Based on the glasses worn by Bruce Willis in “Hudson Hawke,” this is Hawke by Nibb Tardis (as always, click the photo to see a larger version). Lots of companies make great glasses and sunglasses in Second Life. But you could not compile a shortlist of the finest without including primOptic. As soon as you try on a demo, you are struck by the quality. These glasses are not nice pictures clipped from the internet and slapped onto a stretched cube on your face. Mssr Tardis handcrafts these from lots of tiny prims, expertly and precisely shaped, tapered and positioned. They are the work of a craftsman, an architect.
Yet an amazing amount of control has been handed to us, the wearers. (more…)

If you’re one of the many people who have been looking for something slightly stronger than off-the-rack reading glasses, but slightly less than a full-spec. iota-class blast helmet, well, my friends, Hern Worsley may have just what you’re looking for. I’m speaking of the AVZ Vision Enhancement unit, 250 lindens’ worth of high tech goodness,available at your helpful AVZ retailer today . The trapazoidal lenses look black in most lights, but are actually highly polished metal and reflect light at certain angles. The top sliver of each lens pulses whenever you’re wearing the unit, in a colour that you can select with an oral command like “/88 trim gold”. (more…)

Although it’s pissing down rain today for me in RL, luckily I have the escape of SL, the virtual “endless summer,” if that’s what I’m in the mood for. To accommodate my need for escapism, Tesla Miles was kind enough to release her new “Enchant” sunglasses this week at TESLA. I’ve tried out some other sculptie glasses, but these are the first I’ve really liked, and I think they’re well worth the brief wait while the sculpted prims assume their final shape. They’re billed as unisex, and although I don’t have a female alt to try them on, the clean, classic design looks as though it would indeed work equally well for the ladies. As for me, these were exactly what I needed for my shift at the lifeguard station. Fortunately there was a steady supply of drinks decorated with little paper umbrellas. (more…)

A few months ago I had the pleasure of meeting Kwamey Pinion at Booperfunk Island, probably the biggest store in Second Life dealing in dreadlocks, afros and other African ethnic hairstyles. Back then he had released his first hairstyle, a rasta bun, which I sadly didn’t buy. Then, last week a reader contacted us to tell us of an interesting store he found. Heading over there I noticed that the person running the store was the same I met earlier.
Currently, Soreal doesn’t have a huge gamma yet. In fact, they only sell 2 items as of yet: a sports jacket and a pair of sunglasses. His first shoes are under construction and I was already shown a work in progress version of them inworld. Which was enough to convince me to save up some more money for their release. (more…)

First off, my apologies for the relatively low level of activity on the blog recently. RL is taking its toll in the unhappy form of me being pretty much slammed at work, and also in the happier form of general holiday busy-ness. As my granny used to say, it never rains but it pours. Balance is the key and I’m working to keep mine, so bear with me through a crazy time.
Now on to more important things. It’s been a while since we featured any of the retro/vintage stylings of designer Antonia Marat, and she’s got some new items out at Artilleri that I think are well worth our L$. Here you see Antonia’s new Lumberjack Jacket, which I’m wearing with her new Cargo Pants, both in Black. This pairing is one that would have suited James Dean, although it does seem, at least in retrospect, that he was iconically committed to his red canvas zip jacket, white tee and blue jeans. If only he had known about Artilleri. (more…)

“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.”
Every once in a while, I see something in SL that’s so crazy, beautiful, clever, or just plain right that it leaves me laughing and grinning like the World’s Biggest Goof at the magic and wonder of it all. This week that honor goes to the “Fear” and “Loathing” glasses by Fedor McNally, inspired by the personal style of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Now you too can be the King of Gonzo, at least in your own little corner of the metaverse.
Perhaps best known for his contributions to Rolling Stone magazine and his seminal novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Thompson was also the inspiration for the Uncle Duke character in Garry Trudeau’s “Doonesbury.” Thompson once told an interviewer that he would set Trudeau on fire if the two ever met, but in later years said he had made peace with his comic-strip persona. In the weeks following Thompson’s death, Uncle Duke mourned the loss of his “inspiration” and experienced a variety of “Fear-and-Loathing”-style hallucinatory transformations. It seemed a fitting tribute. (more…)

I don’t know about where you live, but October was hot where I live. It didn’t feel like autumn in any way. Now that it’s November (either finally or how did that happen so quickly? depending on your perspective), and starting to cool down a bit, it’s time to think about dressing for fall. I love this time of year–digging deep into the dresser’s biggest drawer for sweaters is one of my favorite things.
The new “Autumn” set by swaffette Firely of SF Design is destined to be another of my favorite things this season. If you look good and feel good in earth tones, take a look and give it your serious consideration. Its contrasting textures are beautifully coordinated, and the different clothing items layer flexibly for a variety of looks suitable for different levels of “dressiness.” (more…)

The New Babbage Victorian steampunk region came to my attention by way of the New Babbage build on this year’s Relay For Life track. It was while exploring in Babbage Square that I discovered Gaslights Emporium, a men’s clothing and accessories shop featuring designs by Vincente Shepherd. The shop itself is fairly new, and some items are new within the last week or two. Here you can find everything you need to outfit yourself as a proper Victorian gentleman, from clothing to accessories–and a few toys as well.
The Gentleman’s Suit (L$400) is available in your choice of Blue, Green, Black, Claret (shown), Brown and Charcoal. It includes jacket, trousers, shirt, waistcoat, flexi coat bottom and prim bowtie. Vincente is currently making these available on a “buy one, get one free” basis–details are available in the shop. (more…)

Like the song says… “Working for the weekend…”
This outfit, which I’m calling The Weekender, is simply something I’d throw on without really worrying about **gasp!** having to look good. Although, the finished result shows anything but. Okay, I admit it. I’m guilty of the crime of being vain…XD
It’s one of those types of getups where the usual Jeans + Tee can be redone with a twist. More than the usual casual sets that one finds in either RL or SL, part of the look depends on what one makes of it. This look wouldn’t be out of place at a club or just cruising along doing nothing. (more…)

Someone once said that clothes make the man…
My name is MaxmillianDArgent Ferraris. My occupation, newest connoisseur of Second Life Fashion. My passion, putting it together and making it real…so to speak. My objective is to put together a wardrobe any av would be proud of. Professional, casual, romantic, urban, cyber, goth…whatever theme draws my attention…if I like it, I’ll get it and show it off. In each post, I’ll be including accessories, hair, and the occasional props with each outfit. I’ll also be listing the designers, stores, and prices for everything I’m wearing. Gotta do that publicity thing! X D
Each outfit can be either a mix/match of things from different designers or a set from a single artist. Depends on my mood naturally… (more…)

I may be woefully behind the times, but I’ve just recently discovered the eyewear creations by designer Fenigan London, of House of London. The line features highly detailed primwork and dinstinctive styling with influences of Paris and Milan. A variety of color and tint options are conveniently available for each style via simple touch scripting. Here you see the “Bella” style, which has low, wide rectagular lenses, rounded top and bottom, thickly framed at the top but otherwise rimless. A variety of lens tint and frame color options are available for this style; I’m wearing them with black colored frames, at left with dark shaded (not opaque) lenses, at right with the lenses tinted red. As you can see, the color tints are quite subtle. (more…)

The first thing you will learn about me is that I am obsessed with the apocalypse. Give me a mass disaster, burned-out cities, and the straggling remnants of people struggling to rebuild civilization, and I’m good to go. In theory, anyway. I doubt it’s as much fun to live in as to play with.
Postapocalyptic neko-emo-wear isn’t what you’d expect to find in a store called Kalico Kreations, but the collection by Kenny Sleeper is packed with everything you might expect to find in a nuclear-blasted wasteland. I found clothes, scarves, collars, nose spikes, a gas mask, even a jetpack made from an old propeller. Given my lust for all things Road Warrior, it was really difficult to keep from blowing my entire wad. I had L$56 left when I was through. No lie. (more…)

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 must confess, Danny Nolan’s name is new to me–I don’t know, maybe I’ve been living under a rock. Anyway, he’s got some awesome new stuff up at Danny’s Untitled Fashions, his shop at Random Industries. I’m especially crazy about his new sunglasses, which have a great casual feel but definitely don’t look like you bought them off the rack at the drugstore, if you know what I mean. In fact, you get the best of both worlds–they look expensive but aren’t. If Audrey Hepburn had been a man, she would have worn them proudly. These are Danny’s “Sporty” glasses, and the rounded lenses have kind of a windswept, streamlined feel. The lenses are dark but not fully opaque, so your friends will still be able to see your eyes. I love the the beautifully realistic gleam that that appears to be reflecting from the lenses–distinct but not overdone. I’m also wearing Danny’s new “Elegant Swirls” tee. Danny’s shirts have good cloth texture and rich, elaborate designs that wrap around to the back as well. For some reason I’ve been finding a lot of great tees to cover lately, but don’t worry–I have some less casual designs coming soon, I promise. (more…)

Thanks for the welcome, Nicholas! I’m happy to be joining the staff here at Second Man. As quoted, I’ll be covering some of the less-covered categories here, including Goth, fantasy, and period outfits. But first, I’ll review my favorite SL outfit, the one you are likely to see me wearing if we ever meet in-world.
Recently I spent a great deal of time searching the stores and malls of Second Life looking for a really exceptional black suit. Seems like a simple think to find? It isnt. There are a lot of mediocre black suits out there, made by designers who simply dont understand that a 100% black texture, or even 90% black, simply doesnt look realistic on virtual clothing. There are also a lot of very good Goth outfits out there, and while I dont mind a dash of Gothic atmosphere now and then, I wasnt looking for a period suit or a vampire-hunter outfit but something modern and sophisticated. My search came to an end when I walked into the Musashi-Do main store in Anton and discovered the Midnight Rain ensemble. (more…)

So summer is in full swing for me. That means humidity and frequent thunder storms. But back home, on the other coast, summer means sun, beaches, and kicking back to relax and take care of things you forgot over the last few months. So I brushed the dust off my inventory and took a look at what freebies have been sitting there unused and untouched.![[insert cool name] & naima](http://www.second-man.com/wp-content/uploads/ez/0028matrix/matrix.png "[insert cool name] & naima")
