Guess who’s back?!
That’s right! I have a new computer and I’m up and running. I’ve mostly been busy with RL and building, but I should be back to blogging atleast once or twice a week! Keep in mind this is my hobby, and I can’t make this into something that might seriously steal time away from my priorities.
So let’s get to it!
I missed my blogging anniversary, so I’ll just go on with it like normal :)

Today I’m wearing modern/casual type of outfit and to be honest, my av feels great in it!
I started the look off with FATEwears Andy Jacket and Shirt combo, perfect for spring. This jacket can be worn in multiple styles (also available with a HUD that offers extra textures not available separately) such as opened, half-opened and closed. For more information, please check this link out.
Out of the other clothing, some of the stuff I’ve already blogged about, so I’d love to get on to the things I didn’t.
Over the past 3 months, 2REAL has been releasing more and more mesh shoes and to be quite honest, they’ve all been top notch quality, they just can’t disappoint! Today I’m wearing Holbrookz shoes which come with a HUD that has 14 different colors and 7 unique designs. As usual, you can choose between two different lace styles.

I usually come up with these titles on a whim, I actually don’t have a title until I open my wordpress dashboard haha!
Anyhow, this is a quicky post, so I wont go in a lot of details. Just gonna say that I wanted to go with a completely different than my usual one. It worked quite well, if I may add.
These new mesh pants from Sey are just gorgeous. They come with the usual Sey HUD that includes a bunch of texturing options + studs, patterns and three different base pants colors (denim, leather and leather with white lines). That’s a lot of, if you ask me!
Next up are these combat boots from Monso, for December’s round of Colabor88. Very nicely made, they offer several color options for you to choose from and each pack includes male and female version.
To add, this leather jacket from Ronsem is simply a must have! I bought a few of them, I just haven’t had much time to blog about them.
Here it is:

Hey guys, I’m back again and this time with a few new releases, as well as some accessories from the Arcade!
Just have to say, as soon as I saw this blazer/turtleneck combo come out, I just had to have it, so I raced down to FATEisland and picked it up, as well as these new skinny jeans.
I just gotta say, the blazer has this irresistible retro feel to it, I’m never taking it off!
The jeans I’m wearing are also a new release from FATEwear and they come in two cuff options, one for normal wearing and the other for you to be able to tuck them in with your boots, or higher shoes.
I usually don’t wear SL skinny jeans, because most of the creators out there make them look like your butt is sagged, or worse, you had a little accident straight in there. Horrid!
These however are a perfect fit.
You can also find them in leather texture sets, but for more info about that, click here.

Another new release that I’m wearing today are these Precise Readers 2.0 from Adjunct, which come in two colors; Black and Tortoise. They are fully mod, so you can adjust them for your shape easily. Very nice and fine, small detail overall.
To match everything perfectly, I topped the look with Tee*fy’s rare Grandpa radio receiver from the Arcade (Azure has done a splendid job on her items this time around) and these Retro Headphones, also from the Arcade, by yours truly :)

And with it, the Arcade events!
I seriously can’t wait until it opens on December 1st.
So before I write this post, just gotta say that I’m sorry for not blogging for so long and the reason is following.

I’ve been learning how to create 3D models from two of my friends and have been extremely busy with it (learning curve was so damn high for me). I still got a lot to learn, but the basics are there.
I’d like to thank Anya and Sue for teaching me and to my wife for being understanding and patient as it took a large chunk of our RL. Thank you guys!

For this post, I’m bringing you a few previews of December’s round of the Arcade and a brand new low Cuttlerz shoes from 2Real Footwear.
As for the Arcade, I gotta tell you guys, you’ll be mind-blown by all of the new items that are about to hit December. To get a little insight of what I’m talking about, click here.
As for the shoes, 2Real really sets out a high standard on mesh sneakers. Seriously, from the model, to the texturing and the HUD (7 patterns, 14 colors and 2 laces style, all of them able to mix and match). Without saying much more, I’ll let you guys decide.

~ The Aviator ~

Sho — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:53:28 +0000

FATEwear came up with a new release of clothes, perfect for these autumn days!
Today I’m wearing denim jacket with fleece interior lining and their new line of scarves called Harry. 1 Harry scarf color pack includes 6 (!) versions of wearing options and comes in 10 (!) sizes, so you can easily adjust to any other clothes you desire to wear them with.
To complement my aviator look, I’ve put on Aviator glasses from Emery, low rise chinos from Armidi and these really cool boots from Miel (come in female sizes as well) that are highly customizable to fit (sculpted boots). They also include a recoloring system to change various textures (socks, boot, laces, leather, bottom).

P.S. I really, really like my posts to be with a theme. That’s why it sometimes takes me a while to get the blog post done. When I do a plain post, believe me, I was in a rush, or I was rushed to post.
For the theme I usually choose, I have to find the appropriate location, props and finally a pose (that I custom create for the purpose of the post). Angle of the shot and the lighting contribute a great deal and are of the essence to capture a perfect moment and present the clothes I blog about. So please bare with me, because I believe that it’s quality posts and photos what my readers and featured designers deserve.

~ Varsity ~

Sho — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 21:57:12 +0000

Well, it seems I’m addicted to another kind of clothing. Varsity jackets!
I don’t know why, but I simply love the casual look behind them. This one comes from Love Re Me (hoodie included) and it’s going to be available @ The Mens Department on November 5th.
There’s several options to purchase and choose from, both plain and patterned. Other than that, Today, I’m bringing you a new mesh belt from :Sey that you can get for 30% off in the :Sey mainstore for group members (Valid through 4th November, 2012).
There’s 3 types of belts and each includes a plain version and a desired pattern you buy (HUD).
The belt itself is modifiable on every axis, so there shouldn’t be any problems with adjusting for your size.

What can I say, I’m a sucker for hoodies! :P
This is a limited edition Halloween hoodie, coming from FATEwear (more info here), that has a 50% discount price for this specially made Halloween pack. Available both inworld and online.
This is my first ever Halloween (where I come from, it’s not celebrated!), so I wanted to do more Halloween themed posts, seeing how it’s that time of the year :)
This cool scarf comes from :Sey and it’s completely free for group members! It has several wearing options and a complementary HUD with some amazing features such as different patterns, colors and tinting.
My mesh sneakers are the new amazing release from 2REAL Footwear.
I made a separate photo for you guys to see what comes in the pack. 3 sizes (all script resizable/deleteable), HUD with 7 premade patterns and 14 colors, 2 laces options, and virtually unlimited options for you to colorize and mix & match.
Enjoy and Happy Halloween!

Back again, and with a few new releases! Hope I’m not boring you with posting every day :P
This time I’m featuring new Sey’s Cutoff Unisex shirt and Mandala’s fabulous mesh stretched ears.

Both come with a HUD which are simply amazing.
Mandala’s features more than 370 (!) different textures for plugs, tunnels, piercings and the diamond, and Sey’s 5 shirt + 5 base textures, 12 undershirt and 12 belt textures, with the option of tilting every color.
Crazy finds this week and they’re all a steal, considering what they include!

~ Slender ~

Sho — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:22:34 +0000

Previous post inspired me to make more Halloween themed posts. This time I’m bringing you -etam-‘s brand new Slender Man mesh avatar. Being a HUGE Slender Man fan, I just had to review this excellent piece of mesh.

For those of you who do not know who Mr. Slender is, here’s some links.
Slender Man bio found here.
Ultimately creepy Youtube channel that closely follows a couple of young film students and their Slender Man encounters (had me screaming while watching haha), found here.
And the most popular one, The Slender game, found here.

Now a bit about -etam-‘s release. Following the successful track pants which included a ton of HUD options, this Slendy avatar has everything you need to spook your loved ones, or just random people. And here’s why.
The item comes in two options (with and without tentacles) with a HUD which changes skin color, 6 different tie textures, and wait for it…the option to become invisible and then back visible when you’re close to your victim. And let’s not forget 8 Slender notes for decoration or to play to find them, like in the game.

Avatar is extremely well made and there’s no doubt you’ll have massive amounts of fun with it, as I sure did :)

Wow. That’s all I have to say for this post.
First of all, I have to mention that I’m a HUGE fan of the Assassin’s Creed series and this new Desmond coat from FATEwear is simply brilliant. Inspired by the game and a real life cosplay clothing designer Enzo Volante of Volante Design, Damien translated this piece into SL brilliantly. The coat comes with the option with/without hoodie, and the hoodie comes in two options.
I’m telling you now, I’m forever wearing this!
But jokes to the side and the review to the front, this coat comes in 7 different colors and the fat pack comes with an exclusively textured messenger bag. Totally worth all your Lindens.
I tried arranging the coat with Damien’s previous pants release Roy, but the boots from lassitude & ennui (at CINEMA!) sadly didn’t let it happen. Instead I went with Entente’s system L’equipe pants. To complement the renaissance assassin’s look, FATEwear’s Dexter gloves in Tundra matched the look perfectly.
To the side note, I’m really proud of how this image turned out. Simple yet, eye-catching is what I’d describe it. Definitely my Halloween Costume.
Enjoy and remember; “Everything is permitted, nothing is true”.
