Open Forum: Who Are Second Life's Hottest Male Avatars?

Last year, one of New World Notes' biggest posts was Iris Ophelia's "Top 10 Hottest Male SL Avatars for 2007", a compilation that was so popular, the men she selected were deluged by attention from SL's Gossip Girls.  It was also a fun way of contemplating the Uncanny Valley, and the point at which a virtually sexy man provoked a real response. Now Iris is updating her list for 2008, and she's looking for a few good new men to profile-- namely, ten more.

2007's ten were Liquid Zidane, Ben Vanguard, Catero Revolution, Stephen Bentham, Steve Hansen, Vasean Talamasca (pictured above, with Iris), DayDreamer Langway, Menno Ophelia, Sylar Boyd, and Takeshi Kiama.  Who would you suggest for this year?  Bonus points for diversity, which includes everything from avatar age, ethnicity, genre (steampunk, goth, etc.) even species (as long as it's roughly humanoid.)

i would like to nominate lucas gerard! not only is he gorgeous (and i'm not just saying that because he's my boyfriend) but he's an amazing thinker, witty, intelligent, and knows how to make a person smile. on top of that he is creative and amazes me daily with his ability to build and script exactly what he is seeing in his head.

[Noirran Marx]

Mopsa Soon, Camthan Hax, and Temple Oe. All dynamic, creative, and all around outgoing nice guys.

[Joonie]

My vote is for Khalen Beck! He is always dressed in awesome clothes, pays a lot of attention to detail, and loves live music! What more could a girl want?

[JJ Drinkwater]

My vote goes to Mr. Theo Lament of Winterfell. He gives "handsome" an entirely new definition... indeed, one might say, an *ostensive* one. His face, his figure, his manner, and his sense of style in all matters of dress and personal adornment mark him out as the most singularly toothsome of gentlemen.

[Aberystwyth Lane]

My vote goes to Mako Kungfu! He's adorable and such a nice guy, and so smart. He's kind of got a steampunk vibe and is often in a kilt -- I think he's Japanese and Scottish, if you're looking for an unusual mix.

[GoSpeed Racer]

I think Ravishal Bentham is kinda handsome, but that's just me

[Cristi Foxtrot]

I would nominate Christopher Sigal. I met him the other day and he is the most gorgeous av I have seen since I have been here!

[Bailey Longcloth]

I nominate Prad Prathivi. I've known him for 2 years now and he's not only sexy and handsome but he's one of the most talented folks I've met. He's also the sweetest guy in the world. :)

[Faerie]

The best dressed, most attractive and interesting man I have met would be Caliburn Susanto. He's also exceedingly helpful to other residents having been a SL Mentor for some time.

[Susanna D]

Prad Privithi, Copacetic Law, Ganymedes Costragravas, Lawless MacBride, Blackstar Maruti, Winter Jefferson, Jocgart Larsson, and Joel Eilde.

[Sarah M]

I have to agree with Prad Prathivi, and add Raul Crimson to the list. Both are fantastic dressers and look great. They are both amazingly talented builders and SL photographers and such lovely guys too! :))

[Pye]

Hamlet Au - for all the obvious reasons

[vint falken]

Nominating Winter Jefferson for his looks and sense of humour.

Prad Prathivi for design talent, looks & friendlyness.

I'd love to nominate this one too ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/vintfalken/2860577789/in/set-72157607312127694/ ) but still did not figure out his name. :(

[Ryker Beck]

I will nominate...

Prad Prathivi for outstanding creativity, amazing vision, and just the fact that he's a cocky Brit. I don't know WHERE people are gettin' this whole "he's so sweet" thing from... pshaw. :P

Menno Ophelia for his INCREDIBLE talent with the sculptie, unbelievable texture skills, and he's got the whole "boyish good looks" thing down to a science. And he's sweet as a cherry.

Baron Grayson... the man is a god. There is nothing he can't bring to life right before your eyes.

Azufr3 Catteneo, the latino jetsetter DJ with a sweet side that not many people are lucky enough to see, or experience. I figure he'll make it on this list eventually, I just wanted to lay claim as the first one to nominate him. \o/

And last but not least...

Stephen Venkman, for his creative talent, his gentle soul, his aim to please, and his ability to turn the darkest of nights into the brightest of days.

<3 all of you.

And grrrrr.. HAMLET! Your comments system hates meh. >.<

[Pappy Enoch]

Why it ain't no corn-test at all--me :)

[anonymous]

Raeyn Sirnah. Spend half an hour talking to him and if your heart rate hasn't gone up by then you should probably see a doctor.

[Ryker Beck]

One more...

Siryn Rosse. The man can create better animations than I've ever seen and his avatar is ... remarkably, stunningly, endlessly gorgeous. He'll make you drool just lookin' at him. ;)

[Hamlet Au]

Thanks for your diligence, Ryker, I know Typepad can get aggravating with comments...

Monta Horan. He's pretty hot.

Lawless McBride - (because he does half-arsed oh so well, and I'm certainly not biased)
Winter Jefferson - (he's a vampire, and a gentleman, hellooo)
Monta Horan - (he can pull off ANY style!)

[Dove Swanson]
