Second Life fashion blogs are copious…

Some are a whole lot better than others, and while I can appreciate the value of a good one (many of them really do include amazing photography as well), there’s nothing quite as dull as a bad fashion blog. The syndicator over at planet.worldofsl.com is really so full of fashion posts that I have stopped using that as a resource to catch up on the Second Life blogosphere as a whole.

Having a blog about Second Life, I find I tend to receive items from male fashion designers fairly frequently with a request that I review them. I always politely IM back and point out that I am not a fashion blogger. On a number of occasions, I have been asked further as to why I won’t do fashion posts. So let me explain why…

1. I spend a fortune on pixel clothes for my pixel poser of an avatar and yet end up wearing no more than about 4 different items. Ever.

2. Wtf do I know about fashion? I know pants go on your legs, shoes go on your feet and shirts cover your torso. My knowledge starts and ends right there.

3. I don’t give a crap what people wear. Really. As soon as virtual vests and pixel pants can improve someone’s intelligence or personality, give me a shout. Until then, not for me thanks.

Don’t get me wrong…. I can appreciate how long designers spend on their designs and the best clothing in world is absolutely amazing. I have neither the time, patience nor talent to even consider designing clothing myself and so kudos to those who do. And as for the bloggers who blog on fashion in Second Life (the ones that do it well, at least) I think they provide a valuable service to designers.

But seriously… contrary to how it may look, not all bloggers want to blog on fashion.

Still want me to try?? Really…. alright, alright. I will have a go. Since you asked so nicely.

Look of the Day

So, today I’ve gone for the lazy, lounging around look. It’s cute. Like, totally cute. Like, zomg cute.

I call this 'Beach Babe'.

See, in coupling the oh so manly Superman Bikini with like trainers and socks, I have created something of a contrast. Am I beach babe or am I an old man with lacking fashion sense? The beauty of this design is in the fact that you can never really be quite sure. See… I am great fashionista cos I’ve totally got the poses.

You KNOW you want this look....

The trainers came from House of Curios and I can’t remember how much they cost. See. I am an informative fashion blogger. They were not expensive. Like… umm… 40L or so? And the socks were a very complex creation by me. Damn I’m hot.

Flat chested is the new boob job.

The bikini was made by me. Cos see, by having a Superman logo on there, I have made an otherwise feminine bikini like totally masculine and manly and ROAR. Zomg I’m cute. Like totally cute.

BEHAVE!

No outfit is complete without a coin purse……

NOTE:- THIS IS WHY I DO NOT FASHION BLOG!
