SL Fashion Friday: Modern Male Avatar Looks from Jako Rizzo

The World That I Would is Jako Rizzo’s gorgeous blog.

Post No. 3549, with this featured pic, made me laugh in part because his avatar so perfectly embodies the “Damn, I just missed my train” look. Those dropped shoulders and the stoic long-distance stare say it all.

I also love how, despite his tuxedo jacket, this guy looks like he’s dressed for adventure. This character does not live a quiet life. 

Here's what he's wearing:

"Natural Glow" Denis (EvoX)@Man Cave ends March 11th

Second Life Fashion Friday: Fantasy & Post-Apocalypse Style Ideas

Elocuencia blog is called Self Control. I loved the pic for her blog post "Last Day". I love the pants that Sang is wearing. I also love their cool, relaxed vibe. Her hair is cool, too. The top was at Equal 10, but that event closed on the 5th. I love how she matches her clothes to her setting or her setting to her clothes.

Second Life Fashion Friday Finds from Flickr Blogger Kitty Revolver!

Kitty Revolver has recommended a few people for me to feature and they’re great and I am likely to feature them soon, but I wonder why Kitty has never asked “How about me?” I mean, look at this most recent pic, “Commute.” Who hasn’t tilted their head in puzzlement at a transit station? It’s such a universal experience, a quality that Kitty excels in capturing.

And speaking of universal, look at that SL version of the Stanley cup! In real life, I want that bag.

Tumbler: Peony Tumblr - Fatpack - Sparkle Skye - Kawaii Project ends Feb 12

Bag: Lulu Bag - spectacledchic

Skirt: gear skirt - neutrals - neve

Shoes: Superstar Sneakers - Black - Fashionably Dead

I am excited to welcome back Ch’Know Style by Alicia Chenaux to the Second Life blogosphere. Alicia is a friend and she’s been on a blogging hiatus for a few years, but it looks like she’s got her mojo back. 

Today’s All We Got, So We Cannot Stop (above) is her third post since returning and look, she has the coveted Stanley cup. Of course, it’s not called a Stanley cup -- this is SL, after all, and her version is the Peony Tumbler: 

• Face Layers by Izzie’s:
• Lipstick: Alicia by Delicatta
• Hair: Focus by Foxy
• Top: Star Shirt by Ilaya [N21]
• Pants: Ada Corduroy Skinny Pants by Thalia Heckroth
• Necklace: Felisa by AvaWay [Cosmopolitan]
• Earrings: Pearls of Wisdom by Goldleaf
• Peony Tumbler by Sparkle Skye [The Kawaii Project]

Be sure to click through to her blog for the complete credits. And yes, she really is wearing eleven face layers from Izzie’s and lipstick from Delicatta on top of that.

Stylish Fashion for Male Second Life Avatars With Circus Animals. Yes.

Ren Matsura - れんまつら never disappoints and I have featured the LETCIRREN blog before back in 2020. But Don’t Go Yet is too magical to not stop and share. I love this on so many levels. The utter shock of seeing an elephant on an old chaise lounge is the first delight, but then there is the perfection of the man posed so delicately at the far end, holding a tea cup with pinky extended, legs crossed. A perfect dandy! And then, suddenly, his feet aren’t touching the floor. The elephant has lifted him off the ground and he hasn’t lost a whit of his poise. His suit is immaculate and his shoes shine so perfectly.

SL Style Friday: Fun, Story-Rich Fashion Photos for Male Avatars by Mr. Wolf

MR WOLF has a Flickr microblog. I was intrigued by his picture/post title, “I’m tired of using technology🐺🎧.” I feel that way sometimes. But then I think of all the friendships I have that would not exist without Second Life and SL and technology are inseparable. And of course, Plurk is a deep and solid friendship circle all tethered to technology. If only I could type telepathically. I kind of envy Mr. Wolf’s set up, what with multiple monitors so he can keep track of several things at once. But does he have room for a cat? Can a Wolf have a cat?

Second Life Friday Fashion from Juls Nebula: Eye-Catching Styles With Complementary Backgrounds to Match

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Juls Nebula is a Flickr microblogger and yes, this is a shot of lingerie, but it’s lingerie that covers the nether regions. She’s wearing a lovely corset bra and tap pants. What catches my eye though is her fabulous color coordination with the room. Her outfit matches the pillow and complements the dark blue room. It’s a lovely picture. 

• NANIKA: Alisha Top and Shorts (Was at Dec Anthem, look at store)
• MINIMAL: Boho Glam Decor Set @ Collabor88 ends January 6th

SL Fashion Friday Blog: Cozy Winter Style & Decor from Marta Spada

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Marta Spada’s blog I Got It makes me happy. Her post Feels Intentional some of my favorite things in Second Life — clothes. Seriously bloggers! Unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s winter. Put some clothes on. I love her outfit, though there is something illogical about a  long-sleeved, mock-turtle-neck sweater that’s cropped so your tummy gets to freeze. I also love that she pairs her fashion pic with some decor. Now that is right for the season.

Dalia’s “Mirror” is a collaborative homage to the acclaimed French art/fashion photographer Guy Bourdin, who had an obsession with mirrors.She worked with Peuxswau, who also created an homage to Bourdin. It is always fun to see how different people shoot the same scene, especially when they have an inspiration as iconic as Bourdin.

SL Fashion Friday: Beautifully Tasteful Styles from ByteDreams

#058 of 2023 is just a single example of the gorgeous style brought to us by ByteDreams Slade, who excels at showing us classic, tasteful fashion. She’s one of the fashion bloggers who realize clothing is far more interesting when people wear it, as opposed to bearing as much digital skin as possible. But there is nothing prudish about Byte Dreams, but she does wear a lot more clothes than the average blogger and I love her for that.

The color on this dress is gorgeous, one of those colors that look good on everyone, but set off by her dark skin, the dress looks like a jewel. Here’s what she’s wearing:

• QUEENZ "Fae" dress @ The Grand Event (main store)
• Marmaladny Girls (#MG) "Gentle Dawn" earrings and "3D Hearts" BOM Tattoo (main store)
• KUNGLERS "Leigh" rings (texture hud incl'd) (marketplace) (main store)
