Unorthodox – Matthias Zander

I Can See Clearly Now

With today being the first day of a new month, there are all kinds of amazing new things that have been released today! In fact, most of what I’m wearing came from events that opened today. This t-shirt, shorts, and belt are from Deadwool at the Monsieur Chic event. Monsieur Chic features a great mix of new releases and limited-edition items. This shirt is a new standard release, but this belt and these shorts are part of the limited-edition set (which also includes a different shirt). Only 100 of these are available, so if you want them for yourself, you have to head to the event soon!

This hair is brand new from Modulus for Swag Bag. For a long time now, ladies have had the opportunity to buy monthly subscription boxes that include items from a variety of different creators. Swag Bag is the first (as far as I know) for men! For those of us who subscribed last month, 14 of the 15 items were delivered today (the 15th has some technical issues with the distribution system). If you didn’t buy it in advance, it’s available tomorrow at their store.

These shoes are brand new from [Gos], and feature appliers from a few different items from their machine at The Gacha Garden. I love that you can mix and match the appliers for the tops of the shoes, shoe tongue, sole, and laces (along with a couple of options for the eyelets and the front part of the shoe), rather than just changing the whole shoe at once.

Full credits for everything I’m wearing are below. Enjoy all of the shopping that the new month has brought!

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!

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!

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.

Lakeside Reflections

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.

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.

At The Pub

From the first moment I saw this English pub gacha set by MadPea at 6 Republic, I knew I had to collect the whole thing. I love things like this where you can collect a matching building and interior from a machine, and it all looks put-together and cohesive in the end. The little details in the set are really great, as well. In my mind, it’s easy to imagine the noise of the patrons as the chat with each other and drink their drinks and feel the energy of a busy pub.

I’d also like to highlight the untied bowtie that I’m wearing. I recently became an official blogger for Ama. and though this is an older item of theirs that is in their main store, it’s the first thing from them that I am blogging since that happened. I’m so happy, proud, and appreciative to be on their blogging team.

Protect This Hill

As you can probably tell, gachas are a big weakness of mine. I’ve been trying to do better lately, but when I saw this incredible set from Gabriel at The Fantasy Gacha, I knew that I had to have all of it, but especially the black set (which, of course, includes the two rares). The rare Ares tattoo from Ghost’Ink at the same event compliments it perfectly, I think.

Fresh Pizza

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.

Starry Night, City Lights

The Event 6 Republic just opened yesterday, and has all kinds of great stuff from many creators, themed around two of the world’s most iconic cities – London and New York. I spent way too much there, so there will be a few posts drawing heavily from the event. This photo started out as a much bigger set that I was putting together, but then I realized that I had a much better photo staring me right in the face, and ended up with this. I used to live in New York City, and can remember many nights when I sat in the living room of my apartment with the moonlight streaming in, trying to figure out what I needed to do. This photo captures some of that feeling that I had back then.
