« Second Life Mesh on the Main Grid by May or June? | Main | $35K Contest for Virtual Art on Human Nature »
Galliano Boucher runs a very beautifully illustrated fashion blog highlighting styles for the hip and fashionable male avatar, a rare thing to find in the huge, female avatar-dominated SL blogosphere. Hat tip: Vaki Zenovka.

The males don't get much attention, in my opinion, for a few reasons.
One is that the feminine form is just more awesome.
But more subtle is the fact that the male mesh is honestly, trash. I expect males to get more attention once mesh is out...

Woo hoo, thanks, Hamlet! (Except...did you mean to link my name to Galliano's blog as well? I'm not affiliated with Galliano, I just think he needs more attention.)
Adeon: you're so right. It'll get better, I'm sure, though...and there are people out there who are making it look as good as possible.
