Another Second Life fashion blog? Why, Honey? Why???
Yes, I know. Every Jack and Jill in Second Life seem to have a fashion blog. Some are being more professional than others. Some are pretty boring, just showing a picture of a model (usually the blogger's avatar in Second Life), and a listing of worn items. A few are pretty decent, giving accurate descriptions and using quite good models. But these are far and few between. What they all (all I have visited to date, anyway) have in common is seriousness. I'm serious! None of them seems to take fashion lighthearted. As it should be taken.
One other thing they have in common is they almost never address femboy or girlie boy fashion.
Femboys have it hard in Second Life, you wouldn't believe it!
Normal male's clothing often has ginormous pectorals in shadows added to t-shirts. On the other hand there is female clothing which always seems to have boob shadows.
Butch guys and the galls should have few problems with these issues, generally speaking.
A few people I have met (well, quite a lot of them actually) do complain about it: they want their avatar to resemble their own body closer, or look like a more natural, Real Life based person. Not everybody likes to be a human version of a Na'vi. In a similar way not everybody likes to look like 1970's Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Italy's former porn queen and politician, Ilona Staller AKA "La Cicciolina" or Dolly Parton.
That's where this blog comes in: fashion for those that do not comply to what seems to be Second Life standards for some: Tall and butch (to the extreme) for males. "Mellon butted" and "big-boobed" (to the extreme) for females.
Of course, this being a non-conformist blog, we will have a look at those mentioned above. And we will giggle. We can learn from them. Really, we can! We can learn how not to do certain things.
I'm not going to shy away from "normal" fashion but the emphasis will be on fashion, wearable by femboys.
Other topics may and will include:
- Furry fashion
- Naughty fashion (non-PG)
- Gay fashion
- ...
I will be doing articles on clothing and/or items I purchased, obtained in a hunt, got as a prize or gift and things I've see others wear or found on other (fashion) blogs.
Anyway, I have ranted enough. Let's get serious!
P.S.: Designers? Could you leave out those "boob shadows" in a separate femboy line? And maybe make clothes which don't look silly on the flat-chested among us? Both girls and (fem)boys? Thank youuuuu!
