i went to the shoe fair and all i got was one stinkin' pair of shoes.

talk about disappointing - at least for men. very few shoes to see and the ones that were there (other than hoorenbeck) were outrageously expensive. sorry, but L$1200 for a pair of shoes? there are too many other great designers out there that do not charge the same price as a skin for a pair of shoes to choose from.

but the ones i did get i do really like and am really impressed with the design and quality.

sorry for not posting yesterday. i was having a really difficult time creating an outfit for the post. i kept trying to make it too complicated so today i went for simplicity and quality. you can beat the jeans as a staple of your inventory. but for me the best are the shoes. throw in a bit of unexpected fun with the pattern. not to mention a great argyle vest worn without a shirt for some sex appeal. :)

good morning. i usually don't go ahead and wear one full outfit. i normally like to combine a bunch of pieces from other outfits but i came across this store thanks to another men's blog and i was very impressed by the pieces. it is probably one of the best gothic stores i have ever seen in sl. so for today i present AVid.

whoo hoo. the a/c repairman is coming today.

i always hope they will be cute but then they turn out to be old rolley polley men with hideous plumber butt.they bend over and there it is. you can't stop looking though. it is like a train wreck. it has hypnotizing powers our parents never told us about.

maybe i should call my therapist now and warn them i'll be needing some intense therapy after the repairman leaves.

of course it is monday and as monday's go it has turned out to be not the best in the world. i woke up to the a/c being broken. of course this happens during the hotest month of the year. so like my outfit here, minus the shoes, i am sitting around rl with very little on and trying to stay cool. maybe i'll just head to the pool for the rest of the day and ignore the situation and hope it goes away! ;)

really not sure where i was going with this outfit. started out with the jeans. i've really gotten into the low-rise jeans and pants. just showing off that little bit of butt crack can really be sexy (not if you are showing off plumber butt though).

the one place i have found that has some great low-rise jeans, and there are a few, is aitui. they have many great things but the jeans fit great and the leg attachments aren't a pain in the butt (no pun intended).

happy friday!

i took today's inspiration from what is going on out there in rl. many people are doubling up their denim, like david beckham. and lets not even talk about his wife, you know, that ex spice thingy.

this makes for a nice casual look but also a little bit more forward thinking than most. and today's outfit doesn't have any little tweaks to it.

remember, friday is tomorrow! :)

another hard day to pick an outfit. this time i went to a great rl fashion website the sartorialist. always great shots of what people are wearing around the globe.

the hardest thing to find for this outfit was a staw porkpie hat. imagine that. so, i just made myself one. not the best in the world but if you want a copy let me know and i'll give you one.

today was a tough day putting together an outfit. so i ran to google and typed in one of my favorite designers, dsquared. i know this look is a bit old for them but i have always loved it. the combination of dress up and dress down fits me pretty well.

i did have to find a four-in-hand western tie and then had to tweak it with a collar from another outfit - wasn't too hard. i always like to buy things that you can modify to make them fit your personality a bit more and not look like everyone else.

have you ever played a game with people's profiles when you are bored? read one and check out their groups and then tp to one place that looks good and then read the owners profile and do the same and just follow it all around. it's fun and you can find some interesting things.

i happened upon this one store by doing this. it's called scars. really well made things and inexpensive - well, compared to most. check it out.

as everyone probably already knows, armidi is having a huge ass sale. huge. to get to it just join the group theWarehouse and then tp here. almost everything i'm wearing today is from armidi. remember, i said almost everything. lol

i was searching on xstreet and came across this great vest. then checked out the other items the designer has - some very cool stuff. unfortunately does not have a store inworld though. but i gave you the link to the xstreet page.

red has guts .... deep, strong, dramatic. a geranium red. a goya red ... to be used like gold for furnishing a house ... for clothes, it is strong, like black or white.

- valentino

if you want to create some feelings of excitement and intensity within your sl life ... red is the way to go.

use with caution.

brown seems to be the one staple in my sl and rl wardrobe. it makes me feel centered and grounded, calm and content.

plus lets face it, it goes with anything and everything.

but ... the one thing in today's psycho of color that is really floating my boat is the hat and hair combination from meriken co. i have absolutely fallen in love with it.

oh ... btw ... happy friday!

blue is one of the most popular colors, but it is one of the least appetizing. Some weight loss plans even recommend eating your food off of a blue plate. blue rarely occurs naturally in food aside from blueberries and some plums. also, humans are geared to avoid foods that are poisonous and blue coloring in food is often a sign of spoilage or poison.

poison or not - i still like blue.

my favorite color - green. might be because my eyes are actually bright green in rl or it could be because green is ... a color that symbolizes nature and the natural world ... green also represents tranquility, good luck, health and jealousy.

continuing the psycho of color i chose black for today. personally, one of my favorites.

black is the color of authority and power, stability and strength. it is also the color associated with intelligence. guess they haven't met me for that last one yet [lmao].

black is a serious color that evokes strong emotions - use at your own risk!

the positive of pink

being a tint of red, pink also affects us physically, but it soothes, rather than stimulates. pink is a powerful color, psychologically. it represents survival of the species.

but too much pink can be physically draining and somewhat emasculating.

but I have never been to one to worry. ;)
