Pimpin Style

I would have to say, not having a working PC at home has been an interesting experience, still in the end it finally arrived... and two weeks early so for that I'm grateful. Very interesting to see how far IT has infected all aspects of your life, especially when you don't have it!

I've actually had this outfit for a while, but courtesy of my old laptop I couldn't show it until now! It comes from the same team that created the Science Fiction Tuxedo I featured in my last post a few weeks back . It does includes a few extra options I've not shown including a ripped tee and a bunch of chains you can wear on your thighs, arms and torso... however as soon as I saw it knew it would right at home down at the crack den RP Sim...

Steam's Style:
Sunglasses - Kumaki Glasses Style: Virgo
Goatee -  sacred: Facial hair goatee v2
Outfit -  EGO&GB: Fashion Victim
Tattoo - Wicked tattoo: Devotion
Boots - Duh!: Engineer Boots
Pose - Embody

So until next time (which will be pretty soon)...

Tobacco

I think now it's safe to assume that I am transferring my RL desire for tobacco into SL. I am a reformed smoker, so does that make it [or me] worse? Anyway, in case you've not been down to PHILO lately, they've just released this great leather jacket and shirt which I've thrown on today to help keep those impending winter chills at bay! It's pretty cool (or hot... whichever is the right descriptor here) and nicely textured. I also threw on the Thanksgiving gift skin from Akeruka which I thought added more of an urban appeal.

It's still Movember remember!

Steam's Style:
Skin - AKERUKA: Manuel thankgivings gift
Eyes - Sterling Artistry: NovemberShadow
Eyeliner - A.S.S: Makeup
Stache - sacred: Goatee v1

Chin hair - Jaryth's Barber Shop: Chin Beard II
Necklace - Gabriel: Crest necklace black
Jacket - PHILO: Dean Jacket and shirt
Pose - Studio Sidhe: Unisex model pose 5

So until next time, here's to pixelated smoking!

Almost summer

RL work has been a killa this week and has pretty much kept me outa SL and it looks as though there'll be no reprieve this side of Christmas. That being said, it is warming up nicely down here and we've already had a few awesome beach days....

Roll on summer!!

Steam's style:
Sunglasses - Adjunct: Classic Aviator Sunglasses, gold
Beard - sacred: Beard V8
Tattoo - Wicked Tattoo: Dreamer, medium
Boardies - Sas-it-up: Punked board shorts
Prim thongs - Hoorenbeek: California flip flops, black

Yes that's right, down here we call em "thongs", what the hell are flip flops anyway?

So until next time...

She Ripped My Heart Out - Part VII: Humble Pie

I've never been very good at eating humble pie, it just always leaves a nasty after taste. In the end I knew I had to do something, so on the way home from work one day I spied a public phone, my cell had a flat battery so I parked up and dialed her and waited.... my heart was thumping, my mouth was dry, the expectation was killing me.... but what the hell was that noise behind me?

Steam's style;

Stubble - Sacred: facial hair V2 stubble

Cigarette - [AD]: Cigarette

Outfit - Gabriel: Black stripe suit with white shirt

Shoes - Hoorenbeek: Allen 2.0

To be continued...

Oil on Canvas

I found out yesterday that B[ELLE]isima is closing down inworld (cue sad face at hearing of yet another designer pulling up stumps) and other than Elle putting everything up on sale, I wanted to go down and grab another kilt. It's probably my Scottish heritage talking, but I really wanted one.

I also tried something new this time around and went for more of an oil painting look, you know, the kind you would see above a fireplace. I figured it fitted well with the outfit and the background I chose and this was the result:

Steam's Style:
Full outfit: B[ELLE]issima: Prince Charles Kilt, Mac Donald tartan
Stache: sacred: Beard v8
Pose: Poise

and don't forget... it's now officially Movember


So until next time...

It's Almost Moustache Season

It's almost Movember (the month formally known as November) and in my RL and by default my SL I am intending to participate (much to the disdain of my rl who says any attempt at growing facial hair is much too scratchy) in the annual men's stache growing charity event that aids research into prostate cancer and other men's health issues - you can find out more and how you can participate on the official website: http://www.movember.com/

Steam's style:

Off to The Keys For The Weekend

I did promise something a little different this time around and I have had this jacket in my inventory for a little while waiting for the right time to share it. I didn't quite get away from MHOH6 however and I've included one hunt gift as well.:

Why is it I'm always standing around waiting for her?

Today's post all started with the jacket which I found a Gizza, I just had to have it, I grabbed a pair of pants from there as well and went looking for a set of aviators. I found the Aviator II from Solar Eyeware and they just topped it off.

Just perfect for jumping in the Cessna on a Friday afternoon and heading off for the weekend.

Working Hard!

I was really wanting to style a look for this blog post that drew upon my own trade contractor roots and although I always knew what I wanted I ranged high and low through SL and took my time to put it together. The longer I blog the wider I roam as I find more and more fantastic designers and their wares; this post highlights a number of stores I've not previously been too and I am really pleased with the quality of their designs and textures.

Of particular note are:

HoD Lustful piercing - okay so it took me a little while to get the colour right but the end result is fantastic

Dragon Tattoo - I love it, great attention to detail and no evidence of stretching

Harvey biker boots - I really wanted a worn used work boot look and I really struggled.. that is until I found these
Justina unisex overall - this is the glue that held this look together, it took me a while to find these but I'm sure not disappointed with the end look.
