Sail Away With Me

This post is a bittersweet one for me. Originally and at its core, this post is announcing that I will be out of town for the next couple of weeks, so I won’t be able to post anything during that time. It will be strange not being able to express myself through Second Life photography, but I think it’ll also be a good break.

I was also going to make this a post celebrating Pride Month, since I will be out of town until July. With the events in Orlando over the weekend, though, this post turned a bit more mournful. I hope that all of you will stay safe, and enjoy Pride Month peacefully.

Stud

This outfit features accessories from a couple of stores that I’m an official blogger for, and that I’m so happy to be able to show you today. First, THIRST is releasing a series of sexy snapback hats at Epicene Unisex Fashion Event (which opens on the 13th) that say a variety of things, like Stud, Woof, Papi, and more. Each hat includes a HUD that allows you to change the text color and the color of the bill, hat, and snaps.

I’m also wearing these new lock and key nipple rings from Ama. that are available at Bodyfy. They come in 5 different metals, so you can get exactly the effect you’re going for.

Framing the nipple rings perfectly is a new hoodie from BlankLine along with matching sweatpants, both available at The Men’s Department this month.

Menswear Fashion Week is open, and it is the beautiful Paris-themed backdrop for this photo. As usual, there are so many incredible stores there, and all of it is just for men. Credits for my outfit and a SLURL to the Menswear Fashion Week sim are below!

Captured By An Elf

A few weeks ago, a photographer whose work I really enjoyed approached me and asked if I’d be interested in collaborating on a photo shoot with him. Today, Static Frenzy (click his name for a link to his Flickr, NSFW) and I got together and did a series of fantasy-inspired photos with him as an elf that captured me, a satyr. In the photo here on my blog, he is standing guard outside the cell that he has thrown me into. We also did some more adult photos, some of which will be posted on our Flickr photostreams soon.

In this post, I’m wearing some great new faun legs from [Gauze&Trap] that are at their main store, as well as a great vine wreath on my head from Persefona that is available at Cosmopolitan. The incredible cage that I’m trapped in is new from Pucca Firecaster Creations at We ❤ Roleplay. We were lucky that it came out just in time for this photo, because it’s perfect. The quiver of arrows on the ground is a new gacha item from Spell that is available at The Chapter Four. Full credits for my avatar and for the scene are below! Keep an eye out for the other photos coming soon to Flickr.

Surf’s Up!

N4RS has been one of my favorite furniture brands for years because of their high-quality mesh and animations, and today they released a great new surf board at Collabor88. It’s available in three different versions – a PG version that has individual poses (like the one I used for this photo) and cuddles for couples, and two adult versions – one for male/female couples and one for male/male couples.

There haven’t been many swimsuits that have come out yet this year, but I’m wearing one from Faboo. that is in a gacha machine at The Jersey Shore right now. I’m also wearing new jewelry from BENJAMINZ, [The Plastik.], and [ kunst ] that is available at The Chapter Four and The Liaison Collaborative.

On The Boardwalk

It’s the beginning of another month, which means that incredible new rounds of a lot of shopping events are here! The Men’s Dept opened for its new round yesterday, and there is so much great stuff there. This new shirt from Cold Ash is easily my favorite thing that they’ve created to date. The TMP fitmesh of it is just perfect. I also really like these shorts from …Scars…. They’re just perfect for summer.

For this photo, I decided to visit the Royaume de Versailles sim. It’s a gorgeous sim with so many little romantic corners. Not only is it perfect for photos like the one I took, but it’s great for taking a special someone to for a beautiful evening.

Tropical Breezes

This round of The Arcade was deadly for my wallet. As evidenced by the previous posts on my blog, I love beachy things, and there is so much beachy goodness there that it’s insane. Today, I’m showing a lot of the gacha set from Ariskea, including this great hut (which, of course, was one of the rare items in the machine). The hair I’m wearing, created by Ink, is also from The Arcade.

Also arriving on the grid yesterday was an incredible furniture set from Pixel Mode at FaMESHed. You can see a bit of the chair and throw rug towards the left side of this photo. I hope to feature both items again in another photo soon, because they are exquisite.

Stockholm&Lima released this bed at U L T R A that I really love, but haven’t had a chance to feature yet on my blog. With its billowy white fabric fitting with that in the gacha set, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to blog it.
