Hi there! I knowww, it’s been long since I last posted, I missed you as much as you missed me! But you know, I have been kinda busy, with studies, the whole re-branding process, starting the GLOOM! Fashion District and a couple more of projects that I have been working on! But here I am, giving my two cents on fashion male blogging, and first of all, giving a warm welcome to the new male bloggers that appeared during my break, good job you guys!
It’s fall again! how did that happen? Back to school for some of us, so it’s time to get your backpack ready, fix your lunch box and head to class!
So for this look I picked a couple of funny accessories I have been recollecting here and there, like that chocolate mouth attachment from KUE! I found thanks to modd, that cute SPICA’s eye-patch I found in a asian mall ages ago with my friend Stokki, the awesome color-changing backpack from ARAI (comes in two sizes!) or that cute blue band aid that Jago Constantine sells through XStreetSL. I am wearing a classic Gritty Kitty hair, Wheat: I like to dive in my collection of old hair styles from time to time, Gritty Kitty was brilliant since the very beginning.
When I first visited BALACLAVA, I fell in love with the collection of short pants, and these red ones really caught my eyes. As you know by know, I love to match colors in my outfits, so I remembered I had this cute polo from Adam n Eve, with a perfectly built prim collar; and those matching HANAUTA squares socks (gotta love everything asian!) that looked amazing along with the must-have Fishy Strawberry’s Waist Jacket that Luxe showed me once. Not only the quality of the prim is incredible, but it also is scripted with lots of textures, so you will find the perfect one to wear on each occasion.
We all know there is a huge collection of sneakers in SL, they all have their pros and cons, and I found these Kalnins Sneakers perfect for the look, they come with many coloring options, and some presets so you don’t have to lose it trying the zillion variations possible
Glad to be back! See ya inworld

Happy Summer my friends!
This is my proposal for today! In this look I am showing my favorite pieces of the recently released LeLutka summer collection! I tried to combine colors with the Hat, Tee, Jacket and Pants… the Hat is nicely done and the pants are one of my top 5 shorts of all times. The textures on the collar of the jacket are A+.
Along with the Venus.Summer skin and the new a.C Studio Eyes, I am wearing the first ever male eyelashes! they are so easy to adjust that it’s ridiculous! and extraordinary! The hair is a.C’s too, Jajay, from the last hair collection.
On my knee I am wearing the cute Reek bandaid… it looks that it’s bruised and all! and the realistic socks from :sey… there are a lot of colors to choose from. The wristband is Emery’s.
To finish the look, pay attention to the last UBU creation: the Pornstars Lo-Tops: yeah you might think they are just another sneakers, but they are not: multiple lace options, presets, the customize HUD they first released with the Drunks… these shoes are a must-have.
And don’t forget Modd.G! She made these kawaii USBs as mouth attachments *dies of cuteness* and she released male clothes too, that i will review quite soon! <3
Oh! And all poses are Pretzel*Poses!
Aris loves you all!

Hello everyone! Hair Fair 09 is here… lots of lag and lots of fun too… so funny to watch how people struggle with lag there, how people panic when the sims are down… The organization is doing their best to provide a low lag HF09 to everyone: advices, red boxes… you can try anything you want, but all the lag of the grid is at those 4 sims now!
So after three visits (4 hours each one, I must say), I finally came up with my selection of the best Male Hair (imho) this year. I have to confess I have been disappointed by some brands, but pleasantly surprised by another: one of the good things about this kind of events is that you find new brands to follow, and even to fall in love with; and I think I have found a few!
So, in addition to the hair I featured on my previous post, these are Aris’ HF09 picks! I hope you like them too!
<3, Aris.

Hey everyone! Here I am again to share my look for the day, and since geek is the new hot, and having Comicon in San Francisco next month, I decided to go Geeky for today’s post.
What every geek must have is geek glasses, with some tape, of course! I found this amazing glasses at Undo’s store, SHADE THRONE… lots of glasses and accessories there!
I am wearing what will be one of the best-seller hairs in the Hair Fair 09 (starting tomorrow!): a.C STD Jajay Hair! As you can see, the color tip is scripted and the design is fabulous, this hair is already getting a lot of buzz in flickr and the feeds. Oh! And pay attention to the ‘CheerNo’ one once you visit a.C Store stand. It’s even better! By the way, the skin I am wearing is a.C STD Venus Summer, available soon!
The Lookr jacket is one of their last male releases: the design is really different from what we are used to see in male jackets, and the sculpted collar fits perfectly the layer. A really sexy relelase, also available in Black, Blue, Brown, Dark Blue and White, but I decided to go Red, to fullfil the Spidey spirit I wanted to give to this look, thanks to the awesome Spiderman Ice Cream from Reek and the cool Spiderman Tattoo I found at Lucky Inc. with the lovely Tomoyo.
To finish the look, I am wearing these pants I bought at anuenue, which I trully believe are for women – thanks for letting me inspect your prims, Madi xD – and the Tartan Boots I got at M’zs, thanks to moddish, who is always exploring the craziest sims and stalking the weirdest lucky chairs!
Thanks to Tomoyo and Anya Ohmai for allowing me to use their HUGE pose collection!
xoxo,
Aris.

Probably one of the best things about SL is the fact that stores don’t close on Sunday, so while everyone was sleeping (hey there timezones ;D), I took a walk around one of the next best shopping areas inworld, GLOOM! and looking cute as I was, I observed the avenues and places for the stores to come.
I am wearing one of last Gritty kitty hairs, Lenin, with headbands and also Gritty Kitty’s sunglasses, both color scripted so you can find tour perfect color match. My eyes are from bodyline, designed by the talented Nedeko Kohime, they are beautiful and very realistic, check them out at her store. I am also wearing shopping bags from a.C store; there are versions with or without forced poses, so you can choose whether to grab the bag gracefully as I do or not. Real men wear shopping bags FYI.
I can’t resist myself to the cuteness of [Pink Fuel] so I was nomming this donut all day long. I am wearing an Aoharu shirt, with their magnificent sculpt collars, and the nicely patterned cardigan from Aitui. I saw these awesome Painter Pants while i was shopping at *Algernon* with my friends Stokely and Tyler that I had to buy them! aren’t they rad? I am even wearing a hammer! The versatile BLITZED belt, the coolest sneakers ever from UBU and ARAI’s daily socks complete the look for the day.
See you inworld! <3

Hi there! Lots of new releases for this ‘Look of the day’, I am so excited what’s new and what’s about to come in the next days, 2 days to MHO Hunt woohoo!
Mr. Malte Antfarm, well known designer and owner of [insert cool name] is back from his SL hiatus and became part of a collaboration project named *Curiosity*, and among all those preppy clothing, we can find these beautiful argyle cardigans: I am wearing black and green this time, but you can find them in other colors (blue, purple and red). the textures are highly realistic, with all those wrinkles, and it comes with prim sleeves, adding up a lil more of realism to it. He also released those Suit Pants, running away from jeans textures, you can wear this nicely detailed pair of pants, with the obligatory prim cuffs… not the regular prim cuffs, Malte developed a technique so they seem seamless: well done Mr. Ant!
The hair I am wearing is all a.C Store fresh collection, released less than 24h ago. Summer78 and MelrO became classics already. Summer78 is a really fabulous hair with a nice scripted cap peak, you can change the color so you match your outfit. Also scripted is the awesomely cute (kawaii!) cap, part of MelrO hair; this hair is perfect for those anime lovers, Akira Toriyama fans: they will remember the cute winged cap Arale used to wear, well, here it is, just another excuse to look handsome!
I am also wearing one of the last cargo pants released at Zanzo: the cuffs and pockets are perfectly done and re-size scripted, so you won’t have any problem matching them to your shape. They are also available in several colors, and you can always get a fatpack. The sneakers I am wearing are from Kalnins: they released recently his own version of sneakers, of course, they have a built-in scripted menu and lots of presets in case you don’t want to use time customizing them but you want them to look different every time. The textures and the design are awesome, like everything Kalnins releases.
The belt I am wearing is from one of the last additions to the male fashion industry: Reek. They have awesome stuff, but what I like the most, is the extensive collection of belts they have. Well, actually they have three released but you feel like you have 300 (or maybe more!) The belt, apart from being perfectly designed in every detail, is texture scripted, so you will find and endless number of combinations to match your style for the day. I chose this cool ‘Star Wars’ texture.
To finish the look, I am wearing the Kari suspenders, an AOHARU shirt and my friend the Plush Robit from japancakes store.
See ya inworld!

Just another fine day in Second Life. I was looking for something cute and comfy, with a little touch of ‘aris’ on it, so I had a look at my huge collection of sunglasses, Decollage has grown in me lately… and I took the dust off my nice old elven ears, bought at The Plastik.
The new items I am wearing for this post are the gorgeous new TRUTH hair (Zach, worth every L$) and the highly detailed scripted scarf I found in this little beautiful store, MIEL… I met the owner there and they are working on new male stuff, so be prepared
The suspenders are old friend of mine, you know Kari hasn’t released new stuff in a while but i keep praying for a mega-release (Mennooooo!). The boots are Redgrave’s, went camo this time; the Tee is from Emery, old collection but still rad, and so is the wristband, a must-have accessory for a guy inworld.
The jeans are new for me, but they have been released for a while, at Lookr… lots of colors and styles available!
I am very excited about the MHO hunt (Make Him Over) so I will *hopefully* do a wide coverage… can’t wait!
Keep it sexy, darlings! mwah! <3

Since I first watched Veronica Mars I have been wanting to be a kick ass PI, just as she is, and look cute as a button 
So I put this outfit together, wearing this extremely cute coat from S&Q, and the cute stripped pants I found at this cute new store named NINIKO ( I craved stripped pants since I saw Adam Lambert wearing ones at Idol’s Rock night LOL). And i decided to wear this cool blonde hair from Tonic (really nice styles there) and, why not, sunglasses from Decollage… gotta <3 their fatpacks!
To finish the look of the day, I am wearing the mighty UBU Drunks sneakers, and the nice argyle socks from ARAI (it’s a fullpack), and my all-time favorite suspenders from Kari.
And… what else does a Private Detective needs… OH! For sure! A cool magnifying glass and a cool smoke pipe like this one that i found at Scribble, it makes nice bubbles 
See you inworld!

Something I like about the grid hunts, it’s the possibility of knowing new stores and designers… just when you think you know every place, you are lucky and you discover gems like LCKY. You sure remember the Dirty Bunny hoodie I found while doing the Bunny Hop hunt, well, the big news it’s she released a new collection of lovely bunny hoodies for sale. Apart from the Dirt Bunny one, you can find another 3 models, Banana Yellow and Bubblegum Pink are definitely my favorites… because yes! Real men wear Pink! So be sure you visit the store and get them, and some other cute items you will sure love too!
The talented Takuma released the new Addict Calf Pants… nice colors and patterns! they give me the summer-ish look I was looking for, and they prim cuffs are perfectly well done (hi5 Kumie!)
I got myself a whole bunch of Decollage Shades… you can find the fatpacks at the store… and they are unisex (or am I wearing women glasses? who cares!) along with some other cool stuff there, and i am wearing the Soreal shoes for this post, i love this sneakers/loafers so much! The hair is from new a.C Store collection of low prim hair, designed with cool modern waves that you have never seen before! try them out!
Bunnies are so cute, even there’s people that think they are evil, right BTVS freaks? *winks*
smooches y’all!

Shinichi, one of the top asian designers, just released the late spring/Summer collection, with fresh colors and clean lines, some pieces of clothing that will become soon main part of your closet (aka inventory). SHIKI surprises us with a nice proposal of shirts and suits.
The Gingham Check suits come with several options, so you can decide whether to wear open jacket, closed jacket, with or without vest, giving you the chance of having 4 different looks within the same outfit. They all come in jacket layers, and you might think that’s an inconvenience, but makes it easier when it comes to combine them with the cute Cotton Shirts.
The shirts, in the other hand, come in 4 different layers with well done collar and rolled cuffs, so you can use them as a single shirt, or mix them with another clothing so you can put nice look together. As you can see, I wear the shirt with the jacket+vest and the vest only option. These shirts are every bit as good as the you-know-which classic shirts we all can see (and wear) inworld.
So it might seem just a shirt and a suit, but the combinations and looks you can get out of them, are only limited by your imagination!
See you inworld!
mwah!
Aris.
