Pour Homme #1: It's Business Time

First off, let me just say that I had a lot of help from Vitt and, without her keen eye at picking out certain matches of clothing the way that fashionable women do, I would be left with only her amazing photography and patience to work with. Many thanks.

Now get back in the kitchen and make me that fucking sandwich.

Alright, down to business (which also happens to be the theme of my very first post). Bear with me; I'm male and by definition I will wear things because "I think it's awesome" not because I think it's fashionable. I spend a lot of time wearing suits in my day job outside of Second Life, so I figured I'd take a closer look at what's available inworld. I'm not just talking the standard "business suit" package you find on the Marketplace, but more a mix'n'match of items that come together into something that a guy would wear on the job in real life. With a bit of digging, I found a few key items that I think the average dude on the grid could totally buy off the Marketplace for a (relatively) decent price, look halfway decent for his more sensible half and be done with it all.

If spending thousands of Linden dollars a week qualifies a girl as the "more sensible half".

That's all from me, folks! I spent the entire time writing up this blog post complaining bitterly to Vitt about how long it takes to find and list out everything I wore for each shot.

Hey, I figure...if I'm going to dress like a douchebag, I might as well blog like one too ;-)

Your blog cocktail in Cynical DotCom flavour

There's a funny thing about technology. It makes the inter-connection of different people and different ideas all across the world a modern day given. The world wide web and it's wealth of gadgets and gizmos fuel an insatiable drive toward consuming increasing amounts of information, ideas and Cheeto's.

It is also a bitch when things go wrong.

For the more perceptive of you, two things will have blipped your radar by now. Firstly, the person authoring this passive-aggressive blurb is probably not, in fact, your esteemed regular blogger, but someone I think is decidedly far better looking.

Fuck, she IS hotter.

I guess after a little while, Vittoria decided that, among all the monkeys in her technical department that takes care of her little corner of the web, I was perhaps the most outspoken ("Vitt, you're doing it wrong...oh my god, what did you just do to the site?!"). Oh, and the least shittily-dressed. Evidently, that's a 'thing' now. Vitt doesn't let unfortunately-robed people write on her blog; she's very clothest. "Hey, you should take a chance to write something" she suggested, placing her faith unwittingly in the hands of a monster. "It'll give you something to do."

Penis.

...muahaha...!

Secondly, you may notice that SLidioglossia.blogspot.com is now SLidioglossia.com. You don't need to update your bookmarks, because the transition will (hopefully) be seamless. For you anyway. For me, it took a solid four hours today to map all the changes and hosting to the new location. Fortunately, I'm a very well-balanced individual with numerous ways to alleviate my frustrations in soothing and therapeutic expressions.

No SLidioglossia webservers were hurt in the making of...okay, no. Yeah, I had to replace them a few times.

We hope you enjoy SLidioglossia.com; it was totally not a marketing ploy to increase our credibility and not at all related to making the goddamn web address shorter.

So, until the next time I take up Vitt's offer (challenge) of smearing my terrible terrible cynicism across the face of her brainchild, have a great rest of your week. I've told Vitt that she will have to post more articles now that she's joined the league of "dot coms", so with any luck and no small volume of Captain Morgan, you'll begin to see a bit more fashion and a tad more style lacing your weekly blog cocktails.

What's that, Vitt? Huh? Blog? What do you mean? About mens' clothes? But I don't know anything about....No, Vitt, not happening. Or else WHAT?!

Funny thing about technology.

Different ideas sometimes ain't all it's cracked up to be...
