Losing My Religion

Losing My Religion

THIRST, the store formerly known as [AP.PAREL], has long been a favorite of mine.  Their clothes fit so well, and always look great.  Last week, they released this new set of underwear with the shorts that fit around them at their main store in Boystown.  For this photo, I decided to go to their store go get a city feel.  Boystown is a community made up of 11 sims focused on the LGBT community in Second Life.  There are a lot of great stores, a few clubs and party areas, rental homes and parcels, and even a bathhouse for gay men.

Along with the underwear and shorts, I’m wearing a new tank top from VALE KOER at The Men’s Dept, which I love so much that I had to buy the fatpack.  The fatpack allows you to mix and match the color like I’ve done, so that you can add a trim and accent color.  I’m also wearing a necklace from [ kunst ] that just came out at The Men’s Dept and a bracelet from Bad Unicorn that just came out today at Kustom9!  Full credits and a link to Boystown are below!

Cuff Me

Cuff Me

Fuzzy handcuffs have to be one of my favorite bedroom accessories – there’s just something about them that is so incredibly sexy and sensual.  Lucky for me, Ama. and Nais have released some fuzzy handcuffs and poses at ROMP this month.  There are two sets – one with standing poses, and one with sitting/laying poses.  The handcuffs have a few different metals to choose from, as well as a few colors of fluff.  For this photo, I’m also wearing a brand new hair from Exile that is available at Hair Fair.  Their blonde textures are some of my favorite in Second Life, and I really like this style.  It seems like a great beachy style for summer.  I’m also wearing a new necklace from RealEvil Industries that is at Men Only Monthly.  It comes in four different variations, and as always with their products, there’s a HUD with a few options for the metal textures.  The awesome skybox that I’m in is from S A Y O, and it one of the rares in their Ocean Oasis gacha at The Epiphany.  The bed is also from the same set.  Full credits are below!

On The Fairway

On The Fairway

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this hair and hat from Argrace at Hair Fair was that it would be perfect to wear for a round of golf.  I love the way it looks, and even better, 100% of the sale price goes to the charity Wigs for Kids!  This shirt is also brand new, from White City at Boys of Summer.  I hadn’t heard of White City before, but I really love this shirt and can’t wait to see the rest of the store.  The choker and left bracelet that I’m wearing are also at Boys of Summer, from Just Another Shop.

I had never really thought about there being scripted golfing and golf courses in Second Life until I saw Strawberry Singh‘s post on her blog today about a resort she recently visited in-world that has one.  I looked around, and found the gorgeous AERO Golf Club, which is where I took this photo.  It’s a full 18 hole golf course, and as far as I can tell, it’s free to play!  I’ll definitely have to save this outfit and go back to play a round or two of golf soon.  Full credits are below!

There has been so much amazing stuff coming out lately, but one of my favorite events of the year opens up tomorrow, and I’m so excited to be an official blogger for it this year – yay Hair Fair!  This new hair that I’m wearing and loving is from Speakeasy.  It goes so well with my favorite blonde hairbase, and I think it’s a really great style for this summer.  There aren’t too many male hairs at Hair Fair this year, but the ones that are there are awesome.  I’ll be wearing a few more of them in my next few posts.  I’ve also been loving these new jeans from not so bad that are available at The Men’s Dept this month.  Accessory-wise, I really love this new anklet from Ama. that is coming out for Oneword on the 17th.  Full credits are below.

Summer At The Beach

Summer At The Beach

Hey everyone!  I got back from my vacation a couple of days ago, and have been furiously trying to catch up on everything that I missed over the last few weeks.  Summer is in full swing, and this outfit is made up of new pieces that I just love.  This wet top from Gabriel at Kustom 9 fits the TMP body so perfectly, and the texture work on it is exquisite.  It goes well with these new shorts from Blank Line and shoes from Akeruka at The Men’s Department and accessories from JIAN and [ kunst ] from Summerfest, Uber, and The Men’s Department.

Speaking of Summerfest, it opened while I was gone, and I’m so sad to have missed most of it.  It’s one of my favorite events every year, not just because of the awesome beachy shopping, but also because of the incredible build that is created to house the event.  I stopped by there to take this photo in a little corner of it.

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

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!

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.

Summer Starts Now

Summer Starts Now

The official start to summer in the northern hemisphere isn’t for another month, but the round of Whimsical that opened today will make you feel like it’s already here!  This great set from SAYO is at the event in a gacha machine, and looks like a perfect summertime reatreat.  As you can see, I’ve also gone blonde for the first time in a long time!  I used to be blonde, but switched to dark hair a few years ago.  It’s been my goal the past couple of days to get a good blonde look put together, and this is the result.

The hair that I’m wearing is from *drot*, who I am now an official blogger for!  It came out today at Whimsical, and I was able to tint it to match my hairbase really well.  It also comes with a hair base, though, which is great if you don’t have one that will work with it.

Perfectly Relaxing

Perfectly Relaxing

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for summer to get here.  Thankfully, Trompe Loeil is helping is get ready early with this amazing new set that they released at FaMESHed, which opened yesterday.  The set consists of two different types of chairs (one with a towel on it, one without) in both white and black wood, a beach towel, this pool area, and a free umbrella as a gift to celebrate FaMESHed’s fourth anniversary.  All of the fabrics have a ton of different texture choices, which just adds to the awesomeness of the set.

There are also a couple of great accent pieces here from a new gacha set by ChiMia from a machine at this month’s Gacha Garden.  The lemonade can bucket and beach bag really add a lot to the scene, I think.

In addition, one of my favorite stores, [ kunst ], has released this great new leather cuff for the event MIX.  It’s so incredibly customizable, so it’s sure to fit whatever outfit you put it with.  Enjoy this early taste of summer!  I know that I will.
