Cookies and substantially less clothing than the average Sith! I 've been playing SWTOR (Star Wars the Old Republic) lately and I thought it would be fun to try to recreate the look of those cool bad guys from the game in SL. I recruited that hot piece of alien bottoms, Miss Eve Leroux to the cause and started hunting for stuff. Ended up going for a look more like the Sith dude from the prequel movies but still satisfied with it, credits to follow.

I don't know about you but , being both a nerd and born in the mid 80's, I always feel nostalgic when I stumble upon old gaming consoles I used to have as a child, game boys, cartridges etc. This was the reason I totally "nerded" all over the place when I saw Cheeky Pea's item for this month's round of Mens Dept! As you can see this vintage gaming console looks awesome and it became a perfect addition for my living room. The other item I wanted to show you (and it kinda fits the nerdy look perfectly) is this neat looking hoodie which is Tableau Vivant's exclusive item for "The Boutique" event. Credits and SLurls to follow.

I admit that I'm really bad at following all these memes and challenges going on in SL blogs. Yesterday though I stumbled upon this meme post on Strawberry Singh's blog and it seemed like a really fun idea. So here are my seven SL facts you probably don't really want to know but I will put them before the credits so you will have to see them anyway (evil laugh).

My 7 SL facts :


Fact #1 : I'm a hermit in SL. You have probably heard other SLers saying that too but it's true, I rarely leave my sky platform unless I go shopping, take a pic or fall from it (I fall a lot).

Fact #2 : "Sleepy" typo frenzy. The few people I actually DO hang out with in SL are in completely different timezones so in order to see them I stay awake way more than I should. This results in a massive amount of "sleepy" typos if I'm in chat during that time and an insane amount of coffee consumption next morning.

Fact #3 : Younger than I look. I'm in SL since the summer of '09 but in truth I'm way younger than that. I have taken really long breaks (no logging in at all) so my true SL age is 2 years old which is a good excuse for my occasional noobness.

Fact #4 : I hate my full SL name. When I made the account I didn't plan on staying long (made it because of an article I was writing about SL at the time) but seriously who puts freakin dates in their names (me apparently). On the bright side I get a good laugh at quite a few SLers with poor observation skills over the years who have asked me my age.

Fact #5 : Skins and eyes loyalist. While I do change my outfit in SL almost daily, I very rarely change my skin and eyes. I will try different ones for specific looks and pics but I always have my "regular" skin and eyes that I change 1-2 times a year at most.

Fact #6: I love SL photography. It's the first thing I miss everytime I take a long break and my flickr account (well, the old one before it got deleted for no freakin reason) was the same age as my avatar. Over the last year I have even started trying my hand at making poses for CnS e-motion (shameless self promo).

Fact #7 : I've had pixel sex once. With system layer socks on. White system layer socks. It was good.

For some time now I wanted to do a different pic/style than usual and being the fantasy geek I am, I started making this outfit. Finding fantasy stuff and especially weapons and armor sets in marketplace turned out to be harder than I thought. Quite a few mesh items that caught my eye were suspiciously familiar and I even recognized 1-2 as mesh rips from other relevant video games. After a long search I managed to put together an outfit that could work in the rough lands of Gor and along with miss Leroux there (she wanted to show off that hot new set from Plastik), we started looking for a place to shoot. We ended up in a place called "Island of Lost Dreams" (thanks to Ziki's blog) and as you can see it made for a perfect setting. The sim (adult) is "Gorean RP/slave capture" themed and the community there was friendly and helpful so if you are looking for an excuse to use those old hides or silks of yours, go check it out!

Ok, I know you are probably thinking "did he just post a picture of himself standing on a trunk?". Thing is that this trunk is made of awesomeness and I just had to sneak it in the pic somehow! Both the trunk and the poster are parts of  Trompe Loeil's set for February's faMESHed. The whole set looks awesome so make sure to check it out! Another cool new release I got recently is this new jacket from Chronokit. I'm wearing the gray one but there is a bunch of color options and they all look really good.

I know I blogged the new suit from FATEwear a few days ago but it has so many different options that I couldn't resist doing a second. In addition I got this pretty neat looking chair from HANDverk's Men's Dept kiosk and you know guys in suits and chairs is always a good combo for a pic (or so I hear). Credits and linkage to follow.

I'm a sucker for well made mesh blazers/suits and the new release from FATEwear is definitely one of them. This suit comes with so many different options that it makes it hard to choose (see all versions here) but I picked the "over the shoulder" one for the pic since it instantly caught my eye. The suit has two animations included even ( hold blazer on shoulder and hands in pocket) but sadly I couldn't show them in the pic cause I suck at taking pics of an avatar in motion. Parts are detachable so you choose the style of your suit, grab the taxi below to check it out!
