Land of Dreams and Ruins

Land of Dreams and Ruins

The minute I saw this new hair from Unorthodox at Hair Fair, I started working out this picture in my mind.  It just wouldn’t come together, though, until I was doing some photos for a couple of friends of mine earlier this week and made this Windlight preset.  Suddenly, the hair clicked in my head and this whole outfit came together.  This necklace and bracelet from [ kunst ] at Uber also fit it perfectly, so I’m glad I ended up waiting for the photo until they were out.

This photo was taken on the Hades sim, where I have taken a couple of photos in the past.  The owner, Pixel Sideways, keeps tweaking small things on the sim to keep it fresh.  It’s such a great sim for photography in addition to its normal purpose of being a meeting spot for gay men.  Full credits for this photo 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.

There’s so much great new stuff coming out lately for guys that I’ve been absolutely astounded.  This look is pretty different for me, but I really like it.  For me, what really brings the outfit together is this brand new hair from Drot, available at Men’s Only Monthly.  This is the first time that Drot has released dreads, but I think they came out really well.  My tank top is also from Men’s Only Monthly, and was created by N-Uno.  I’m also wearing new items from .: RealEvil Industries :., not so bad, E-Clipse Design, [Bad Unicorn], and RK Poses from a few different events.

I took today’s photo on the Hades sim.  I’ve taken one other photograph there before, but it’s been a while.  Hades is a beautifully-designed sim created by Pixel Sideways that is a great spot for gay men to meet other gay men.  There are so many great spots on the sim to take photographs, so I’m sure I’ll do more there soon.

There were so many great things released at 6 Republic, with many of them being gacha sets.  This pizzeria by unKindness is one of them.  Unfortunately, the creators didn’t have a building in the set for all of the pieces to go into, but I think it fits this new skybox from BALACLAVA!! really well.  For decor, I used pieces from a lot of other stores at 6 Republic, because so much of it fits together really well.

I’m currently a tropical paradise in Real Life, but when I saw this new shirt at The Men’s Department from Fabulous and Trendy, I knew I had to photograph it in a tropical locale in-world immediately.  Unfortunately, that means the photo quality is a bit lower than usual, since I’m on my laptop.  I also love these jeans, which are at the same event.
