http://www.second-man.com Clothing, skins, and style for the men of Second Life Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:12:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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 ... http://www.second-man.com/freckle-faced-boy-skins-imagen.html 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 ... http://www.second-man.com/guest-style-consultant-renji-land.html This post is Part II of my coverage of Menlosophy, designs by Amanda Bolero and ziamela Loon.  You can read Part I here. One of the more traditional Menlosophy designs is undoubtedly the Chess shirt.  When I say "traditional," I don't mean it as a slam--it's not code for "conventional" or ... http://www.second-man.com/further-outside-the-box-menlosophy-ii.html You've heard it.  So have I.  People complain not just about the relative dearth of menswear designs in SL (in comparison to the vast selection available for women, and although I suffer no shortage of fine items to feature here I think this is still generally true), but about the ... http://www.second-man.com/outside-the-box-menlosophy-i.html It's official--swaffette has gone a little bit mad. In the best way possible, I mean.  Her new Performance Suit, released earlier this month, may just be the most impressively flexible suit I've ever worn.  Dozens of pieces provide for what seems like tons of mix-and-match wear options.  I tried to count up the ... http://www.second-man.com/a-return-to-classicism.html Its back. Yup, for our 20th Blogger Style Throwdown I'm up against Ranger Theas, a friend of my partner Luna Jubilee. Ranger used to blog on her site for a while, but decided to take a break from SL. He recently told us that he'd decided to come back to ... http://www.second-man.com/blogger-style-throwdown-look-of-the-day-under-2500l-vs-ranger-theas.html My apologies if you've tried to leave a comment recently and found you couldn't.  Somehow a WordPress setting got changed to require login to leave a comment, which didn't help much as we haven't enabled self-registration.  That should be fixed now, so comment away.  In fact, somebody leave one just ... http://www.second-man.com/comments-anyone-bueller.html So, I was out on an insane shopping spree with Kith on Monday.  I won't bore you with details of the whole crazy excursion, but I will say that we had a lot of fun, and that my L$ balance is still reeling in shock.  Ouch!  But it hurts so good. Although ... http://www.second-man.com/be-all-that-you-can-be.html 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 ... http://www.second-man.com/guest-style-consultant-roland-zepp.html I like a good pun as much as the next guy.  So it was, unsurprisingly, with a fair bit of amusement that I first visited the shop of Photos Nikolaidis, the puntastically named A:S:S.  I seem to recall reading (in a notecard or somewhere?) that the name at least loosely ... http://www.second-man.com/i-just-like-saying-ass.html
