Bringing you THE BEST OF SECOND LIFE

Hey guys, another post here, and I will change the style of things a bit. I hope you all enjoy it.

I was looking around Second Life and saw that there are many female things that men can also wear. Maybe this can be bad for those who are so super MACHO and don’t like to admit to using female items in any situation, but they might change their minds when they see the pictures I’ll post here today. I searched all the objects in female stores. Of course, not everything a man can wear – women’s shoes for example – but hair and some other items are definitely usable.

In this first picture I am wearing a scarf from Ce Cubic Effect in Black Purple color. The price is affordable. It did not have any scripts, and it is modify, so it can be edited to fit the body as needed. The second women’s item that I’m using in this photo is the hair. Maitreya’s store only sells hair for women, but, as you can see, this style, called Reign, is also great for men.

_Skin – -DC- Cole: Cream – 5 ‘o Clock Shadow
_Hair – Maitreya Reign – Blacks Pack
_Eyes – EDDESIGN body shop – Super Natural ord blue eyes – comes 6 types
_Accessories – !_Ce Cubic effect stole(Black_Purple)

In this second picture I’m also wearing some female items. The Maitreya style here, called Moon, is beautiful hair and is a great choice for men who like to wear long hair sometimes. I am also wearing a scarf from Sweetest Good-Bye, called Candy. It comes in 2 types, Normal and Mixed, but it also has a script to change textures. I’m wearing the Gritty Kitty unisex glasses. As you can see, it is a nice look for males.

_Skin – -DC- Cole: Cream – 5 ‘o Clock Shadow
_Hair – Maitreya Moon – Blacks Pack
_Shirt – [W&B] Mark Long Sleeve Henley CHERRY BLOSSOM
_Accessories – _[SG*] Candy – Brown
_Gritty Kitty: Pa-Zazz! Glasses

I hope everyone enjoyed the post about women’s things for male avatars. =D

Vitamen Hax has hit the mark again by releasing the new Vinyl Boy Series of underwear and tanks. It has only been out for awhile and is becoming increasingly popular.

The Vinyl Boy series comes in three types of underwear: boxer, brief, and thong.  Whichever you get is a matter of personal choice, however, each type comes with a matching tank. The vinyl texture on this underwear collection is exceptionally well done, creating a very sexy and sleek look. There are four options in the folder for the underwear and tank set: regular, frosted cup, thicken, and thicken frosted cup. The difference between looks depends on how revealing you want it to be and how dense the material shows. You can buy each oufit individually or buy the pack where you get all three underwear types and the tank all in one, for the affordable price of 370L. It is a unique outfit that I promise you will enjoy.

Vinyl Boy Boxers and Tank

Vitamen also released a set of vinyl boxers with four fantastic themes: Rings, Maps, Rocket, and Robot. These four boxers give the vinyl series an exciting and creative twist. With this set, however, Vitamen collaborated with Tsuchino Co., who designed a fantastic pool bag that matches the pair you buy.

Rings, Maps, Rockets, and Robots

The Vinyl Boy Series is a must have!

Most women wouldn’t be caught dead in real life without an attractive and functional purse. All too often in Second Life, we forget that all-important accessory. The truth is, if you really want a totally polished look, you must pay attention to your accessories - the right nail polish, jewelry, eyelashes, tattoo, hat, belt – and the right handbag can take your outfit from nice to fabulous.

Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo is widely known for her creative and beautiful jewelry designs. But she’s also an accomplished accessory designer, as anyone can tell you who’s browsed her shop and seen her hats, scarves, headbands, and purses.

This week LaGyo launched 3 new collections of handbags, and they’re excellent as well as reasonably priced. These new bags will slide smoothly into fall and winter, too!

LaGyo “Overall” comes in azure, black, fuscia, grey, lime, ocra, pink, sienna, and turquoise.

–posted from the DynaFleur Redux Press Release

     After an absence of nearly 8 months, the popular and beloved DynaFleur immersive art installation has returned to Second Life. Spanning an entire sim high above the Victorian-themed Caledon Kintyre, DynaFleur is the kind of experience that truly is possible only in Second Life.

     It has been augmented in this incarnation with new graphic and design elements, including a landscape composed of 25 interlocking sculpted megaprims…

Sculpty Landscape with Leaf Texture

….over which video rolls on a sim-wide scale.

DynaFleur with Video Landscape

     Officially opened to the public on August 8th, 2009, DynaFleur presents the almost abstract, close-up, floral photography of Douglas Story in a very unusual way. The monumental and colorful installation is cradled by the sculpted landscape mentioned above. As you walk (and fall) through it, you are immersed in the densely layered sound design of Dizzy Banjo which is tailored to accompany the movements of the elements of the piece that surround you, all of them moving and changing in response to your presence. This magic is powered by complex scripts written by the talented and energetic Desdemona Enfield, which in turn were based on the open-source Reflexive Architecture scripts made available by Keystone Bouchard and his group.

     One early visitor said in response to one of the three main sections of the sprawling piece, “I don’t know whether I’m in awe or creeped out.” The makers of DynaFleur were oddly pleased by this statement.

     The landscape was made by Desdemona using mathematical data which was generated from a model that Douglas made from a grid of prims…

…from this, Desdemona interpolated, massaged, and otherwise crunched the numbers to create sculpty maps, which she applied to a 5×5 grid of 50 meter megaprim spheres. Here’s a picture of a small-scale test:

Douglas, Desdemona, and our generous hostess here at Caledon Kintyre, Autopilotpatty Poppy, are all available for interviews, tours, and chit-chat.  More information may be had at our web site:

Ok guys, I promised. Now I’m going to let you into a secret (don’t tell the girls … okay?)

If you want great clothes you’ve got to do 2 things…

Go looking in out of the way places (tell her you’re *coughs* exploring for new sims)

Learn to ‘mix and match’. (We do it all the time. That’s how you develop your own personal style.)

Now I said I’d show you some of the great Steampunk styles for men out there, but as I was visiting some of those fantastic sims, I found men’s clothes that were not only Steampunk, but some very nice surprises. Style, both casual and smexy, and I’m not done yet. Sooooo  keep watching.

Here goes Oh wait…um… another secret… (lots of the ladies like the ‘bad boy’ look. You might wanna remember that *giggles*)

First up from :SK Designs – it’s the ‘rough diamond’ look and very smexy. Definitely the kind of fashion you can play around with…mixing and matching within Sergio’s [Krasopani] designs and with others.

(fans herself) Ooooooooweeeeeeeee. Now check out these for mix/match possibilites, and not just with Sergio’s clever designs either.

Yowwwwwwww. Now that’s hawt. Low slung hipsters, so tight they look painted on, mmmmmmmhmmm, and an open shirt, OMG, in BLACK. *faints*

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Basilisk/223/108/82 is where you’ll find Sergio’s designs.

And now for something completely different. Onix Anthony is one of those people you meet and you’re glad you did. One of his designs is up for sale with ALL proceeds to help in cancer research.

Not bad huh? Look cool and help cancer research at the same time. Thanks Onix, what a great idea.

You’ll find Onix’s shop here also

There you go guys, don’t say I never did nuffin for ya ))

More coming your way soon, including Steampunk fashions for the guys.

Hello everybody,  for the delay between the posts, but I have had some serious problems in my personal life, I hope you understand, but things are moving in a good way now. hehe. Thanks for your patience.

So continuing to post, I’ll show you  clothes from a great store called Primitive Design, all created by the talented Geyer Schnyder.

In this first picture I am wearing a leather jacket in burgundy, very well drawn, over a t-shirt  with an incredible pattern. The jacket contains a prim collar, and another prim at the waist. The jeans, also designed by Geyer, contain prim cuffs and are amazingly  well done.

This shirt also includes each piece as seperate layers and an additional option with prim collar and tie, as well as an option with textured collar and tie. The pants are the same as the first picture.

A few months ago I reviewed some fantasy and role play skins by Redstar Creations. The Redstar skins were inexpensive and nice.

Yesterday the owner of Redstar IMed me to show me their latest work, and I was floored by how far Redstar has evolved in the past few months – the newest Redstar skins (includes a Vampire skin line) are much more realistic and their armor and weapons are detailed and nicely textured.

Bastian Redstar told me, “The store is up and running now, and please note, we are in the process of creating more items. However, there are already some great items in the new store. Here are some pics of a few items we have created recently, and we’ll continue to create more and more for everyone – from roleplay themed to everyday items! Weapons are DCS2 and CCS compatible, amongst other meters, and our skins are highly detailed and inexpensive! Also, we give out freebies at the front of the store, and we send freebies to everyone in the group when new skins and other items are released! ENJOY!”
