#63 VD 2013

And yes, whilst venereal disease is a distinct possibility today, let's focus on the positives shall we? So it's that time of year again - not everyone's cup of tea. In world it's another opportunity for newness in varying shades of pink, red and jewels! (YAY)

Personally this year has been the best valentine's day I've ever experienced and whilst it's not a romantic relationship that was celebrated, there certainly wasn't any love lost. Octagons, one of my best friends in world and out went above and beyond to make my day (nay entire week), the highlight being a video tumblr devoted to how much of a trollop I am (I guess).

You can check out the rest of them here if you'd like a laugh.

Hope you enjoyed sharing the love and laughter with your own loved ones today!

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 ;-)
