The Change Up

So, I decided for my third post back to do a regular old fashion post. So no mocking (this is a lie), no offensive images be they intended or not (this one is maybe a lie). Just clothes, new hair, and a new skin.

I’ve posted before on another blog that I’ve lately become a fan of LAQ male skins. I find them to be well made and I can tell them apart (Unlike some other major male skin maker out there.)

The jeans were a bonus buy. To me a bonus buy is when you’re going somewhere for something and find something else you want. So you go “Bonus!”. My friend and I were going to make a game out of this but after a bottle of Patron the rules mostly consisted of slapping each other in the face and insulting each others heritage.  The glasses were the same thing actually. Well not really. Sometimes I like to wander through malls like Le Look and see what I can blow money on. Mostly because I like spending money and also because I have this irrational fear of being mugged by furries and goreans.

Exodi has new eyeballs. Yes, I call them eyeballs. They are cool and come in very realistic colors for the most part. I actually do not have a lot of eyeballs in my inventory. A) Having a lot of eyeballs in your inventory sounds a bit Ed Gein and B) I almost always wear sunglasses,  even at night. So I can so I can survive.

I have grown to accept that as a male in Second Life, a giant amount of my clothing will consist of A) t-shirts B) jeans C) calling cards from e-strippers and D) prim wangs. That being said, you’d be surprised how hard it is to find a good t-shirt some days. I like this one I got from Calypso Giano though. A t-shirt so bad ass that even it comes with an 8 pack. Yeah that’s it.

So the new hair thing I mentioned earlier. LAQ makes it. And it’s got a ponytail. I like ponytails sometimes. But in Second Life the good male pony tail is a rare find indeed. Usually when you see them in SL they consist of one of two looks 1: I care about your feelings and would like to hear more 2: Hey, at your earliest convenience please make me cry  by talking sternly to me.

So I have to tell you. There has been some negative opinions given to the LAQ male skins. I can kind of see it, and I can kind of not see it. The main complaint I have heard is that they are too shiny. I think it’s just a bit of photorealism mixed with some highlighting to simulate lighting or whatever. I don’t make skins (I mean fuck, I made a t-shirt once and the baby jesus wept). I also wish they had a body hair option. Not “Hey Bitches, Wookie is up in the house” type body hair but a “Hey, I’ve dinged and gained the puberty achievement” body hair.

So I have to tell you, in my posts you’re going to be seeing a lot of Garden of Ku tattoos. I am a complete fanboy over their ink and I am not ashamed to admit it. Also, it’s quality work without charging me an arm and a leg for it. There I said it. I feel better now. I kind of want to pull a Squidbillies and yell “CATHARSIS”  while slapping somebody.
