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!

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.

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.

Waiting For Some Lover To Call

We’ve already established on the blog that I love gachas, but I also love wine both in my first and second lives, so when I saw this outdoor wine storage set from BackBone at Cosmopolitan last week, I knew that I had to have it and that I absolutely needed to photograph it. I’ve had the song “Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer stuck in my head all day today, so the photo morphed into something inspired by the song.

I’ve really been loving [Deadwool] lately, and their henley shirts at U L T R A are no exception. I think I’ll be getting a lot of wear out of these over the summer and into the fall. There are all kinds of other new items in this photo, with full credits just below.

May the Forth Be With You

I’ll admit it – I’m a geek. I’ve loved Star Wars since I was a kid, and have always gotten a giggle from May 4th being Star Wars Day because of the easy replacement of the date into the series’ phrase “May the Force be with you.” With today being that date, I wanted to do a little tribute photo to the series.

None of these items are particularly new, but I love both the atmosphere and the outfit that I was able to assemble. I hope you like it too!
