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…)

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…)

As I mentioned in my last post, I was wearing a new skin by Namida Akami. Typically, if I plan to give a new skin a formal review, I try to do so before wearing it in a post primarily featuring clothing or other designs. This time out, I broke with tradition—I thought that Namida’s skin had just the right tone and facial features for my summer elf. I had already put the outfits together, but I made an atypical last-minute change and swapped out the skin. That’s taking a certain risk, and I wouldn’t normally do it, but in the end I think it worked out very well.
Namida’s new skin is called “Edwen”. Although I don’t know if this was Namida’s intention, the name immediately struck me as a blend of Arwen and Edward. Half-elven Arwen Undómiel, of course, was the daughter of Elrond and Celebrían, granddaughter of Galadriel, and ultimately wife of Aragorn in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. The most popular Edward in fiction these days is probably Edward Cullen, Stephenie Meyer’s ethereally beautiful boy vampire, who sparkles rather than burns to ash in sunlight. (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…)

I don’t have freckles in real life. I was a redheaded kid–there’s some Irish in me–but that kind of faded toward brown as I got older. If I get a lot of sun, my hair lightens toward blond rather than red. I guess the Irish wasn’t dominant enough. My complexion, though, was and still is very fair, but without freckles. I guess it isn’t as bad as Woody Allen (“I don’t burn, I stroke”), but I’m told my pediatrician warned my mom against letting me get too much sun (“Don’t you dare bring that kid in here with a bad sunburn!”). And this was back when it was still “suntan lotion,” not “sunscreen,” so that kind of says something. I always wished my red hair had “stuck,” and for whatever reason I kinda wished I had freckles to go along with it, too. Although it hasn’t been a consuming passion, I’m always on the lookout for a good skin with good freckles. You may recall that I really liked sachi’s recent “Justin”–my only personal reservation was that the musculature was a little too ripped to suit my own tastes. I so like the facial features and coloring that I wear it a lot anyway. Rack Brautigan’s new male skins at Imagen include “Gael,” a freckled skin with toned but not ripped musculature. Although there’s likely no such thing as “the perfect skin” for anyone, and my own preferences may not match yours or those of anyone else, for me ”Gael” does take that one step closer toward fitting my own personal ideal.

Being classy on Second Life in a predominantly hip-hop environment is not easy. I’ve been on the game for well over one year and from the first day to the day I wrote this I can honestly say certain scenes on SL have and will never change. Every group, every clique, every organization has a particular style they represent. In the hip-hop community it’s usually as follows:
1 pair of Nike Uptown styled sneakers (tennis shoes for those of you in the south)
1 pair of baggy jeans
1 sports jersey
1 excessively over-primmed platinum chain and matching earrings
And last but not least, 1 oversized baseball cap representing the local team (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.

Before we get started, I’d just like to mention out that I was working (albeit vaguely) toward a goth-themed post of some kind even before a recent discussion in comments touching on the relative merits of themed or “genre” style, such as goth, emo, neko and grunge. To me it seemed that the upshot of our dialogue was that themed styles like these are great, but it’s good not to fall into the rut of any one style and never do anything else. Fair enough! I’d buy that for a dollar.
So, as I say, I was already working on something, and by this I mean that I was accumulating some things (too many things, in turns out) that I thought would work and letting the ensemble percolate in my mind, waiting for it to be birthed fully formed, like Venus. Lest you get the wrong impression, I hasten to add that it is only sometimes that serendipitous. Most often, I find that I have to sweat a little bit to make the magic happen. (more…)

It will come as no surprise to you when I observe the truism that Spring and Summer are, sartorially speaking, quite different from Fall and Winter. Fabrics are lighter in weight, brighter in color, bolder in pattern, and layering for hot and cold weather are entirely different things. Even though the climate where I live is overall pretty mild, my RL wardrobe for warm weather is very different than for the cooler seasons. Temperatures and precipitation aside, Spring and Summer just feel more casual to me–I wear a lot of shorts, linen trousers and casual shirts, and apparently I’ll wear sandals with anything. But what to do when the sun is blazing down, but the occasion is formal, and a linen suit simply won’t do? (more…)

This is Part Two of yesterday’s feature, which I split in two because it was long and complex and overly ambitious, I was tired of working on it, you were tired of waiting for it, and figured I might as well milk it for as much as I can get out of it. Nah, just kidding on the “milk it” thing. But it really did make much more sense as two separate posts. So there (or rather here) you have it.
Geekboy though you may be, nobody will ever mistake you for a 98-lb. weakling in any of sachi Vixen’s new skins–at least, not once you take your shirt off. Here I’m wearing “Justin,” just one of nine new skins in the “Skin Evolution” line. The first thing you’ll notice is that this skin is more muscular than the skins I usually prefer and wear–in fact, it’s positively ripped. This makes for something of a dichotomy on my slimmer shape. I tried a few other shapes from my inventory as well, and the look is indeed more balanced on a more muscular avatar. But there’s no way around the fact that Justin’s is the prettiest face of the nine skins in sachi’s new range. That’s part of why I like Justin so much, but then there’s also the fact that Justin is designed for redheads–so we can be real real redheads, if you know what I mean. Yes, that’s naturally red pubic hair! Eyebrows and head hair match, so nobody will ask what shade you buy. (more…)

I recently received an intriguing note from edo Tone, designer of fantastic formalwear. In the note (and I’m paraphrasing here), edo acknowledged the problematic nature of white clothing in SL and nonetheless stated his firm belief that men still want white suits and tuxedos. With this in mind, he had recently completed a white tuxedo of which he was very proud, and it was his humble hope that others would admire it too. He included a couple of snapshots for my reference.
I was intrigued. I decided to take a closer look. After all, short of nuking the site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure. edo’s White Tuxedo for 2009 is a beautiful piece of work. I think it compares most favorably with Shai’s Classic Tux in white, which has been my go-to white tux for the last several months. It’s good to have options. (more…)

To begin with, in second life, I’m a DJ and manager at The Wharf. I host events for other Djs, as well. If you’ve never been to the Wharf, you are missing out on a fantastic place. Chester Howley and Finnegan Chesnokov are the dynamic duo that own the place, and have made it into the awesome place it is today. I love to talk to and meet people. And I love to share my music – hence the DJ thing.
You could say that I spend a great deal of time in and around music on SL. I enjoy exploring various places, whether its a music club, seeing interesting builds, or going shopping and doing things with my friends. I have met some fantastic people, and have grown very close to a few. (more…)

The Belleza group costs 250L to join now, but the archives currently have not one but two male skins. Miguel will be removed in four days, but Mathieu will be around for at least another week. More skins will be released in the next few weeks, so stick around for even more skins.

After two years in Second Life (SL) I am only now realizing how much SL mimics Real Life (RL) — be it personalities, behaviours, creations, fashions and more (1). I dare say, without trying, my RL self has bled almost fully into my SL self. When I first entered SL I knew I wished to explore the Victorian gentleman aspect of myself. Being a clothes whore in RL, it was natural for me to insist on finding just the perfect outfits that I had envisioned towards my creation. Two years ago, the selection of Victorian clothing available was miniscule and in many cases, not exactly what I was looking for. I suffered my fashion crisis in silence, but remained vigilant in keeping a spectacled eye towards growing and new designers. (more…)

Ryan: The first thing I noticed about Dimitri is that all of his prim accessories–clothing components, hair, jewelry, glasses–were perfectly fitted. It’s not that I’m constantly going around and checking out how guys have fitted their prims…well, actually I guess I do in fact do that. Hey, it’s part of the job! But almost any guy will let one thing or another slide just a bit, or decide not to lose any sleep over that one last strand of hair. Not Dimitri. I’m pretty uptight about fitting hair myself, so I feel his angst.
Dimitri: Well, I must admit, I was a little nervous when I sent in the application for the guest style consultant. I have been interested in doing something like this for quite some time and when I saw [Ryan's] post on the web site, I jumped at the opportunity. I have been in SL about five months now, but ever since the first month I have really been into men’s fashion. I create my outfits with the intention of being noticed and standing out in a crowd. I am more of a casual guy when it comes to clothes, but I don’t limit myself to that type of style. I also love to dabble in other types. (more…)

So, I went away for a while. When I left, Mr. Oh had just started his reviews, and Catero had gone on hiatus. Now that I’m back, I see all these new guys. And they all look mighty familiar.
I became skinny goth emo boi because it seemed like every other guy in SL was big buff tan guy. But now that all I see on the blog are skinny dark-haired guys, I can’t keep it up. I gotta stand out! And if that means going for the big B, so be it. (more…)

I first found Theodore and Drusus DuCasse’s Zanzo a while back quite by accident–or maybe it was serendipity intervening, which is always fun. I noticed one of the small satellite shops (I think it was the one at The Wharf), did a little browsing, and took a few things home. Ultimately I ended up at the seriously extensive main store, which is laid out like small, themed specialty shops along a central main “street.” This layout seemed both smart and convenient, as it makes it easy to browse and shop for items in a particular style or genre, if you have something specific in mind.
King’s Road is Zanzo’s new line of menswear, inspired by different cultures across the world. It was launched recently with an introductory selection of nine different clothing designs, most enhanced with sculpted attachments. Here I’m presenting a cross section of these new designs, including some of my own favorites. (more…)

It isn’t every day, week or even month that I dedicate a review to a new skin. Of course we’ve featured a variety of different skins here, in the Style Throwdown series as well as other posts, with some particularly fun stuff over Halloween, if I do say so myself. I can speak only for myself here, but for me putting together a sufficiently fair, thorough and interesting review of a skin is very time-intensive and, quite frankly, a lot of work, so it’s not something I do very often. I like to live in the skin for at least a few days before even starting to put the review together, so I not only get a feel for being in the skin myself but also (hopefully) get some feedback from others as well. Hopefully that doesn’t sound too crazy-philosophical; it’s just the way I like to work. Anyone else’s mileage may well vary, and significantly at that. (more…)

Before I talk about Jazz, y’all might be wondering what a busker is. Buskers are street performers.
Now, about Jazz. There’s no easy way to define what Jazz is but that’s what makes this a fun theme for the throwdown. From swing to bebop to jazz fusion *shudders*, there’s no easy way to define jazz. And there definitely is no easy way to peg someone as a jazz peformer. That’s why Ryan Darragh, our resident editor in chief, and I decided to each put down 3500L to start our own jazz ensemble.

That’s right, the throwdown is back! As I told you last week, we’ve got twice as many people this time around for a tag team throwdown. I’m up against Nicolas Sinatra and Dahlia Eilde of the couples fashion blog, Bonnie & Clyde. Both are experienced models, currently employed by Nex-Core Model Management. On top of that, Bonnie & Clyde is one of the first couples fashion blogs for Second Life, so they have plenty of experience working together. I’ll be teaming up with my lovely wifey, TheDiva Rockin, Chief of the SL Fashion Police, and hoping we can keep pace with em.
Our theme is “Snow day.” Why’s that? Because a good portion of the Northern Hemisphere has experienced snow in the past few weeks. Basically, its too cold for me go outside. Luckily, SL lets us play in the snow without the cold, the wet, the mushy, and the soggy.
It’s a win-win for everyone.

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?
