Vision In White

I recently discovered just how much fun it can be to decorate (mostly) monochromatic rooms with little pops of color here and there. For this photo, I decided to take it a step further and do my outfit in the same color palette as the decor. I’ve always loved decorating with plants, so I thought that some green pops, in this case both from the plants and from the absinthe fountain, would be perfect.

The true centerpiece of this photo, though, is the awesome bench that N4RS released at U L T R A. I recently became an official blogger for N4RS, who has long been one of my favorite furniture stores in Second Life. In the last couple of years, their mesh work has become so sophisticated to go along with their excellent animations.

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.

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.

Dark and Stormy Night

I got some pretty awful news tonight in my Real Life, so I decided to express myself through this photo. It’s a lot darker than I normally photograph, but it really fit my mood tonight. I took this on one of my favorite sims, Hades. It’s a gay cruising sim, but really has a gorgeous design that Pixel Sideways, the owner, has spent a lot of time perfecting. If you’re a male avatar, go check it out!
