You meet the most interesting people when you take public transportation. Traveling by bus is always at least a potential adventure, and trains are both fun and fascinating, but subways are almost an ecosystem all their own. Maybe it’s the whole underground thing—it effectively separates and distances you from life on the surface, and with nothing to see outside the windows except the station stops, the city above retreats into mind and memory and ceases to be a presence. At least until you exit and return to the surface. (more…)

Every once in a while, my inner kitty wants to get out and play.
He has different moods. Mostly he’s friendly and playful, but sometimes he’s territorial and defensive. Once in a blue moon, usually after he’s watched “X-Men” yet again, he’s bold and aggressive. You might even call him scrappy. You’d definitely want to watch out for the claws. (more…)

Well, I had pretty much zero luck a while back when I tried selling myself off, or at least adopting myself out, with the pathetic kitty look. I thought it was surefire, a complete no-brainer, but no such luck. Oh sure, a few people made offers in the comments, but did anyone ever come through with anything real? I’m talking about money, houses, gourmet caviar and gold-plated, diamond-studded scratching posts here, not just a litterbox in the corner. I figured anyone and everyone would love a sad kitty. Hey, it works for puppies, right? So where and how had I gone so wrong? I resolved that I would figure this out or cry trying. (more…)

Well, Valentine’s Day 2010 is shaping up to be a bit of a casual affair for me this year, in SL as well as RL-–I still don’t have RL dinner reservations! (I know, I know.) The very casual ensemble I’ve put together for your consideration isn’t exactly appropriate for an intimate dinner at a fine restaurant. Think more romantic picnic in the park and you’ll be just fine.
The Grunge Tanktop and Flame Red Swim Trunks are both by Shinichi Mathy. As always, fine fabric texture work is the hallmark of Shinichi’s garment designs, whether casual, dressy or more formal. The busy print on the swim trunks helps the optional prim leg extensions to blend in better than they might in a solid color. I did mod the taper of the prims just slightly to fit my fairly thin avie a little better. These are the February 2010 Shiki group gift for guys. You’ll need to join the Shiki group (if you aren’t already a member) and visit the shop Shiki 91, 153, 22 to pick up your gift. Head down the red hallway (on your right as you walk down the main aisle) to the special Members Only area to find the gift vendors. Available at Shiki Designs (Shiki 91, 153, 22). (more…)

I get a fair bit of crap for how I largely ignore t-shirts and jeans. It’s true—I don’t often give a lot of love to jeans and tees. I honestly don’t mean to be elitist. Most of the time—the vast majority, in fact—I think I’m completely justified in not paying particular attention to these particular staple wardrobe items. For starters, you can find them pretty much anywhere and everywhere. I don’t think I’ll run into much disagreement there. Also, most guys are pretty good at picking out and picking up tees and jeans that suit their personality and budget. I’m not sure they really need any help from me. So, in general, I think my rule is a pretty good one. That’s my story, and I’m sticking with it. (more…)

I love New Year’s Eve. In some ways, it reminds me of my senior prom. It’s an opportunity to get all glammed up, go out to a fabulous party, and play for an evening at being grown-up, or maybe at being rich. Or both.
And a great beauty of SL is that you don’t have to be rich to play at being rich. For the equivalent of the cost of a mocha latte or two, you can outfit your SL self in stunning style, with attire and accessories that would be the envy of even the hottest flavor-of-the-moment supermodel. Not that supermodels care all that much, anyway; wearing beautiful clothing is just a job to them.
It’s become something of an annual tradition for me to feature formalwear from Styles of edo. I guess that shouldn’t be too surprising—edo Tone’s formals are among the best I’ve seen, and they’re always some of my favorites. I’ve chosen a few designs from his 2009 collection that I think are especially noteworthy. Hopefully you’ll think so, too. (more…)

I don’t know about you, but I’m on the never-ending quest for the perfect skin. Really, isn’t everybody? Surely I’m not the only guy who at some point has said, “I really love This Skin, but if only it had the abs from That Skin, or the face from The Other Skin…then it would be perfect!” Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought it might.
Now, don’t get too excited. I’m not here today to tell you that I’ve found The Perfect Skin, or even The Perfect Skin For Me. Either of those would be a hell of a thing. However, as momentous as such a discovery would be, I might just have to hang it up after that. I mean, what would be left? Even yet still more sculptie high-tops? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. (more…)

In SL, I try to get out of my RL box, from time to time at least. Isn’t that a big part of what SL is for, really? My recent Prince of the Underworld is miles removed from anything I’d wear in RL, probably even for Halloween, if only for practical reasons. Stuff like that is a lot of fun, and it’s good to stretch. I do have my comfort zone, though, and every once in a while I run into some new designs that seem quite literally tailor-made for me and my own tastes. AlexanderHunter Rembrandt’s just-opened {AHC} (the initials stand for “AlexanderHunter’s Couture”) houses just such a collection. AlexanderHunter says that his goal with {AHC} is “class and excellence with just a hint of sexiness for both men and women…haute couture and accessories inspired by real life’s top designers. The collections are seasonal and therefore available only for a few months, making every design a limited edition.” The names of the various specialty shops at {AHC} reflect these inspirations: Dulce & Ghanel women’s wear; Valenciaga men’s wear; Prava men and women’s footwear; Vuittior men and women’s jewelry, handbags, and additional accessories; and San Lauren men and women’s skins and hairstyles. They also convey a slyness and sense of fun suggesting that AlexanderHunter isn’t taking himself too seriously. (more…)

He did not know his own name. It was an interesting conundrum, but neither entirely uncomfortable nor, it seemed, wholly unfamiliar. He felt that he floated somehow in a peculiar limbo of personality. He knew some things—what languages he spoke, what foods he enjoyed, that he had never known his parents—but little about his own self.
He did not know his own name, but he knew that he could fight. His mind might be all but blank, but his sense memory was strong, and his body could do things he did not remember learning or training to do. He felt his muscles tense and thrum as he moved, wanting to defend, yearning to engage, aching to attack. He pitied the ill-advised fool who attempted to draw him into conflict; his day would not end well. (more…)

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party…
Tod Browning’s freak you was
Some time back, blog reader Miron Jarman emailed to me some pictures of himself in truly fabulous glam-rock drag—it was oh so very “Velvet Goldmine.” He suggested that this look might be worth exploring for presentation here, and in true Lazy Ryan fashion I tried to recruit him for the mission. In all honesty, he had done such a good job with his own look that I felt he ought to present and take credit for it. Unfortunately, although I tried my best, he simply wasn’t able to make that commitment at the time, and left the suggestion with me. I felt like I couldn’t simply copy his look for myself, partly because it didn’t feel fair, partly because it wouldn’t be “me.” I needed to do glam my own way. (more…)

He stood on the dock at sunrise and waited for her, his lovely Lorelei, Lorelei who had left him behind lo these many months before, sailing away in a Chinese junk—to China, naturally—on adventures mysterious and as yet unknown. Every day for him began like this. Not knowing for certain the day and date of her return, he came every morning to the place where he had last seen her, the place to which he knew she must eventually return.
It was a small price to pay for Love. (more…)

Getting dressed is as easy as throwing on a pair of jeans and a shirt. But style is in the details, and that often means accessories – an area of fashion often difficult for men. Should the belt match the shoes? Should the shoes match the coat? Should the coat match the watch? Can’t I just say to hell with it and put on my bathrobe and stay home?
In any outfit, finding the right balance of accessories is key. Too few is bland; many and you end up looking like Mr. T (and that is only a good look on Mr. T). Further, your accessories should complement each other. While they don’t have to match exactly, they should appear to have the same purpose. Dress shoes look good with a suit, or parts of one; less so with Bermuda shorts. (more…)

All this talk lately about N1H1 Flu has got me thinking – why do we always have to look our best in SL? What about those days when you’re just not feelin’ it and want your AV to reflect that? My friend Miko has an answer, a folder with her Sick/Mental Health Day Outfit complete with bathrobe, hair towel, fuzzy slipper, eye covering cucumber slices and a mud mask, all perfect for just such a day. She tops it off with a tag reading “Haven’t had my Coffee” and a steaming mug. It’s hilarious! (more…)

I think it may have been Oscar I was talking to when we mutually agreed that, if for some reason we could only and forever dress in risey Arai’s clothing designs, that would really be okay with us. I mean, of course we would miss the artistic approach and creative touches of any number of other designers, not to mention the simple joy of sheer variety. But risey’s designs are so comfortable, so carefully put together, so flat-out beautiful that it’s hard to imagine feeling especially deprived if for some reason my wardrobe were mysteriously limited to things I could find at :sey.
Today I’m showing off a handful of risey’s more recent releases—just a few, but they’re all sweet. Most if not all of risey’s clothing designs are characterized by excellent use of sculpties, and these are no exception. Forgive me if I run out of superlatives; it’s an occupational hazard. (more…)

Do you ever get a crazy question stuck in your head, and you just can’t shake it? You know what I mean. It’s usually an “I wonder” type of question, typically one with no readily apparent answer. For a kid it may be, “I wonder why the sky is blue?” Adults may venture into the philosophical with “How do they get all those clowns in that little clown car?” And then there’s the eternal classic: “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?”
Well, recently for me it was “I wonder how elves dress in summer?” I know—it’s not exactly earth-shattering. And yet…I really wondered. How do elves dress, anyway, for say a summer picnic? Or a cruise, maybe, or just business casual? Try though I might, I just couldn’t shake it. (more…)

I was told the hardest thing to do when you’re a guest style consultant was to write a few words on the outfit. They probably had never met someone like me before, with a cazillion outfits and different looks in my inventory, by far the hardest was finding just one that shouted out here is jamie Cheeky, mainly because I morph alot on style.
The skin part is easy. After 2.5 years of running about SL in a old Naughty skin I decided to go for a new look. Zanzo Seraphim – Raphael (freckly) was perfect. I’m not a 6 pack lover or a gorilla chest freak and Zanzo fitted the bill. I got the freckles just because I thought they were cute and added a youthful spirit to the look. $L 1200 at Zanzo. (more…)

Hi all, somehow Ryan got it into his head that just because I can write a few blurbs at the end of his posts – I’d be able to handle my own guest spot… Well, let’s see how right (or wrong) he can be!
First let me introduce myself. I’m Rhys Ackmann, a SL photographer with a fair hand for fashion. How did I become so good at knowing what’s worthwhile in SL? I find that reading freebie and fashion blogs, sorting a year’s worth of hunt finds and spending every linden you made on clothing, shapes, skins and hair will do that to a guy. Not that I’m vain, just can’t seem to find the AV I want to be.
So what to review? Well, it’s kind of embarrassing but I get invited to a ton of teahouses. You have to admit it’s a huge subculture in SL, so knowing how to dress and act just might come up. No worries, I’m here to help! (more…)

Summer Trends
I’ve experienced a lot within my one year stay in this amazing world, and I must say I simply love it when summer time rolls in and everyone changes their wardrobe! Yes, it’s that time to wear form comfortable and relaxing clothing! So I did just what everyone else did, went shopping for the latest trends! There were so many options, and I had no idea what I wanted to go with–Tees, Cuff Shirts, Skinny Jeans…the list is endless! (more…)

Welcome to, believe it or not, the fourth and final installment of Hair Fair 2009. My apologies if you’re tired of reading about hair. There were a lot of great styles for guys on display this year, and I wanted to give as many of them as possible some airplay. In fact, that very abundance is the subject of my brief (I promise!) editorializing here in this fourth post. Looking back at my coverage of past Hair Fairs, I see that in 2007 I featured seven hairstyles for men. In 2008, there were 15—a nice little bump up. This year I’ve featured a total of 27, which by anyone’s tally is a hefty increase. Of course, it’s entirely possible that this is a reflection of, more than anything else, my own profligate spending, so I don’t know if it’s safe to shout, “I see a trend here!” But all the same it’s great to see such an increase in the number of hairstyle offerings for men. I hope you agree. (more…)

Welcome to the third installment of my Hair Fair 2009 coverage! Although I didn’t set out with a theme in mind, upon reflection it seems to me that the styles here are all nicely suited for summer, with its plethora of outdoor activities and generally casual vibe. I hope you’ll like at least some of these styles as much as I do. First, though, some brief editorializing, as I can’t seem to help myself. Feel free to read through or skip on down to the pretty pictures.
Nothing consumes me like editing hair. (I know, I ranted before on the topic of scripted vs. moddable hair. But this is different, so please indulge me. I’ll keep it short, I promise!) When a hairstyle calls for significant custom tweaking to fit my avie, it’s a serious undertaking. The result can be me falling into a Zen-like state, zoning out and not really being aware of things around me. Things like music playing, the phone ringing, and announcements that it’s time for dinner. You know…stuff like that. (more…)

Welcome to the second installment of my Hair Fair 2009 coverage! Here you’ll find another handful of solid new styles for men by creative designers. Trying on such a torrent of styles in a relatively short timeframe has also left me just a little bit ranty, and I feel the need to get it out of my system, so bear with me. A lot of hairstyles these days (including many I’ve featured on this blog, and some included here) include resizer scripts for simple, automatic resizing. As you may already know, I am kind of torn on this practice . (Admit it—you knew I’d have to rant about something.) On the one hand, resizer scripts are easy for new residents to use and make for fairly straightforward fitting. On the other hand, they typically don’t allow for the kind of custom tweaking of individual hair strands (prims) that I often want or need to do for the hair to fit my avie perfectly, or as perfectly as I can make it.

Let me just say it right out: Hair Fair 2009 kicked my ass. I didn’t manage to get there for an early “preview,” when I suppose there might have been fewer shoppers and perhaps less lag. I ended up making my way through the substantial array of shops along with, as near as I could tell, absolutely everyone else in SL. This had both its good and bad points, as I’m sure you can imagine. In the end, I finally made the full circuit in seven or eight sessions over three or four days. This might be a personal best (or worst?) for me. I know for a fact that I’ve finished Relay For Life tracks in less time. (more…)

It’s been a little while since we’ve had a Guest Style Consultant feature, so I’d say it’s about time. Roland Zepp shares his personal style, advice and suggestions in his own blog, Roland Zepp’s Fashion Sense. He was kind enough to agree to appear here, and it was a great opportunity for us to meet “in person” at last! — Ryan
I’ve gone through a lot of looks in my time here. Starting with the newbie/freebie and working up to writing about fashion and participating in the fashion world as a model and photographer, I’ve discovered a lot of styles, designs, and designers.
It’s hard to nail down exactly what my look is. At heart, I’m a minimalist kinda guy. Less is more in my book. It may not seem like it when you see all my various contests and looks and all, but when I’m just hanging out on the grid, I like to keep it pretty basic. I don’t wear a lot of extra crap in RL and I don’t see any reason to do it here.

We still have a few weeks left of Spring, but Summer’s coming on fast. I can feel it sometimes in the air, and already we’ve had to run the a/c for a day or two here and there. I’ve pulled out my shorts for the season in RL, and it seems appropriate to do the same in SL.
And there’s a bonus–in SL (although not in RL, at least not yet), I have some favorite new cargo shorts. And cargo pants. All in one. I’m talking about Masaru Raymaker’s new 4-Way Cargo Pants. What exactly are 4-Way Pants? you may well be wondering. Never fear! I shall tell you.
It’s fairly straightforward, actually. The name pretty much tells the whole story. By mixing and matching from an impressive selection of clothing-layer pieces and sculpted pockets and cuffs, Masaru’s 4-Way Cargos can be worn in four different ways, for four different looks: as shorts; cropped, or rolled to just below the knee; with the standard “system” pants cuffs we all know and love/hate; and with flared, slouchie cuffs. Not only are these impressively flexible, like all of Masaru’s designs they’re amazingly good-looking. (more…)
