[#700] Here And Now

The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky
But could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the
Here and now, here and now

Letters To Cleo, ♫Here And Now♫

One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about blogging is the challenges you can bring about to your creativity. Using both male and female items for my photos and virtual photography is something I enjoy because I can think outside of the box as some people say. Being a gamer who has had eons of experience with so when I saw the releases from Lush Poses at Pose Fair, I decided to see what I could pull together and do it with a twist. It would be so easy for me to do it with my normal every day look but to pull off a female look…now that is a challenge.

“Naughty Gamer Girl” is a pose set that comes with a controller prop and a bean bag prop filled with 8 different poses. I thought they were rather tasteful and they could also be used for seductive type photos if someone wanted to go that direction. There’s a lot of ways that it could be looked at but each pose is professionally made. Lush has been one of my favorites to utilize through Pose Fair over my years involved with the event and I definitely encourage anyone to give their sets at the event a look and then also go take a look around their store in-world.

With that said I believe I’ve inspired myself to go pick up my controller and do some gaming myself. Life imitates art in a sense!

[#644] Radio, Someone Still Loves You

We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Queen, ♫Radio Ga Ga♫

The time has come for me to say goodbye to Vintage Fair 2019 but there is still time for everyone reading to take a taxi to the event and shop til you drop. I had a lot of good times and fun with this event; it gave me opportunities to do different things that I might not have before. I was able to use a lot of different tools (male items, female items, decor and poses) to complete my journey.

For this last VF entry, I chose to do one more female post complete with an outfit, hair and poses and a new pair of kicks. I haven’t really written quite as much about the photos with all the work that’s gone into this event but once I start getting on a normal blogging routine it could. I picked the song “Radio Ga Ga” because the pose set has a boombox (which many people including me had growing up). While many people cling to their Spotify, I still tend to listen to the radio when out and about and often find new artists to look into later on when I’m behind the keyboard again. This song can clearly be considered vintage and even inspired the girl we’ve come to know as “Lady Gaga” from which her name is derived from.

“Boombox” is one of three exclusives from Lush Poses that instantly caught my attention. The only thing I needed to see was that it had a boombox radio in it and I was game. Many 80’s and 90’s films boasted them as props (does the movie “Say Anything” ring a bell?) Each pose has a designated prop which I mentioned that one of the previous pose sets I used for VF didn’t have that and wished it had.

I set the scene on top of an apartment building where I could see going to after a long day with maybe a cold drink and a boombox to just chill and listen to tunes. That is the kind of scenario I would be down for because I’m usually the most relaxed when I have some of my favorite songs within earshot.

My hairstyle is by KMH Hair and is designated as “F112” and can only be described by me as a shag type haircut like you might see in something like “Hairspray”. I definitely went in different direction with my look this time but I think overall it doesn’t look bad at all and I’m pleased with it.

For my outfit, I can only describe this as like an old school gym uniform as I remember some of them were styled like this when I was pretty young. They may not have had as much cleavage as this does but the shorts were styled very similar. Meowhi did an excellent job with the “Summer Daze Collection” which comes in not only the black version I’m wearing but also blue, green, pink, purple and red to allow shoppers a choice or two.

Uber is the place where you can get these snazzy kicks I’m wearing by Native Urban. The “Luke Sneakers” are what I call a casual running style somewhat akin to probably K-Swiss or maybe even Sketchers. With the help of the Fatpack I tried my best at making them more of a “Pride Month” themed style of sneaker but I think there are a few colors I’m missing but I gave it a try at least.

This is my way of at least spreading some love to all of my family and friends that also are celebrating. If everyone were to spread more love and compassion in the world than hate, anger and jealousy we’d be in a much better place. Positivity goes a lot farther than negativity ever will and I don’t think I need to say much other than that in those regards.

[#617] Cause It’s Taking My Life Away

They reach beside
A leech to find
I dreamed of this so long
This used to feel so strong

Default, ♫(Taking My) Life Away♫

For the last couple days I felt like I was in a very small creative block (or hole). I had an outfit (which I changed a little bit from the original plan) but no real idea what kind of scenery I wanted but I had a bit of a resurgence and took a few things I had not used yet and combined it with some new things and the results were actually as good as I hoped they’d be.

Default (the band) has always been high on my list of Canadian musicians that I’ve enjoyed listening to since as long as I can remember. One of the memories I have as a late teenager (yeah I hate putting a date on myself but can’t properly tell a story without it), going to see the band at a summer festival before they had truly made it big nationally. One of the things that I enjoy is being able to say that I’ve been a fan of a band before they hit big. It’s a small brag of course but it’s kinda cool to discover stuff before the majority (there are several bands I can say this about that are very popular currently).

The formation of the idea of this blog kinda has been circling in my brain long before this (I just didn’t know how I wanted to implement it). Tucking ideas away for a rainy day is something I do often and that way when a pose set or a backdrop comes out that fits the mold then I take advantage of what there is to work with. The Men Jail is set to open next week and Lush Poses is releasing two new pose sets and the one I am using for this scene is called “Shinedown” which is also the name of a band that I love so this just makes this that much better for me.

“Shinedown” is a set of 6 poses to which some of them have mirrors but the gist of these poses is that they are laying poses (most of which are from a face down position with one being a face up pose). I think that it played into the part of the song that speaks of dreaming as I found a really cool and colorful bed by Kei Spot from the Zodiac event to contrast the color of my clothing which I’ll get into here in a moment.

The last few months I’ve seen the poses that Lush Poses creates have impressed me and I’ve been able to hammer out some nice photos using them this one included. My advice would be to look them up on Flickr or visit The Men Jail when it opens on April 08th and find out yourself just what I’m talking about.

Lapointe & Bastchild (more specifically it’s SWEAR label) has a “henley” that many of you probably already have but if you don’t then I might have added something to your shopping list for this weekend. The attention that this store gives to its items as far as HUDs with many colors to choose from giving many options to pair with just about any color pants or denim jeans.

I know that I’ll be able to pair it with just about anything because it fits really great which is also another reason why L&B is one of my favorite stores. While now I am a blogger for them but going along with what I’ve said concerning Default, I’ve been a fan of there’s for a long time (years to be exact). The interactions I’ve had with both owners as well as their customer service over the time is everything a store should be, they treat their customers right.

For my outfit I paired the shirt with the latest pair of jeans from TORI TORRICELLI named the “Atlas Jeans”. While I am predominantly a blogger now that is on a budget, being in the group I was able to get a discount on the FATPACK before the April round of TMD even begins (which is where it will be at starting later today 04/05).

Going with a shade of blue for the shirt and the purple into an acid washed style of the jeans was just the right contrast to set the scene with the Kei Spot bed. Everything came together nicely and I’m really proud of the results of this scene/photo.

One last piece that I utilized that is not a new product but as a lock&tuft blogger I am going to give it some love because I myself love this hair. The “Ruined” hair has a bit of age on it but it still stands up to the test of time and there are not as many colors in the pack as their are in current hair products but there are still many staple colors that make it worthwhile.

This hair also comes with a blindfold which is not show here but it is meant for the kink crowd (as there are some rather naughty words printed on said blindfold). I like this hair because it’s a longer hair that’s just the right length and doesn’t cover my face for the type of shot I wanted to take here. I’m all for older releases of hairs and I’ve had this hair for a good while, obviously long before I began to blog for the store.

On that note I think I have covered all the things I wanted to cover and hope that a few people find this post useful and even potentially check out some of what I’ve blogged here. Blogging the items I enjoy is very much worthwhile and I believe in them or why would I blog them? So much great things out there right now events wise.

I’ll get to what I can so that you stay apprised of what’s out there in the virtual world. Until the next time I will catch you on the flipside!

[#589] The Nights

One day my father—he told me,
“Son, don’t let it slip away.”
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,

“When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days.
Think of me if ever you’re afraid.”

Aviccii, ♫The Nights♫

Now that my area is beginning to thaw out from the negative temperatures, I thought I’d throw in a post to try and warm everyone (including myself) up. Even though I have never been much of a beach going person in the real world I still hold an appreciation for it. In the virtual world I tend to go to them to admire the beauty they possess and to also send positive warmth as best I can.

This blog entry if anything is another test of sorts of getting back into the swing of things before my event duties begin. The pose that I’m using is from a set that I used from the January edition of Pose Fair (that ended about a week ago which is also when I came down with a bit of a cold). Lush Poses “12 Months of Hunkiness” is a versatile set to say the least because it gave me the ability to do the shower scene in a previous blog and now to standing on a beach giving off a confident masculine vibe.

My focus for this blog though is the outfit I am wearing. I was recently contacted by Luis Crowne, owner of MAZA asking if I’d be interested in blogging an item from his store. This is a thing that is partially new to me as I’ve always applied to be on blogger teams save for certain situations where store owners know that they are able to count on me if they send me an item, knowing that I’ll feature it. Review copies are an option that I will continue to entertain as long as the fit is right.

The “Summer Jumpsuit” was inclination enough for me to borrow a beach build that my brother, Lucky, had created to take a few pics himself; I wanted to make sure that I got it in before he decided to pick it up.

Getting back to the jumpsuit, I really liked the design in the “Grayish Black” version even though there were several other choices in the collection I really liked. The texturing is rather nice as well as the way that it works with lighting along with the combined windlights and lighting culminated into a beautiful scene that at its core was peaceful.

I’d like to thank Louis for thinking my work is worthy enough for him to approach me to showcase his work; I hope that we can also work together again in the future!

Doing shorter blogs like this makes it easier on me as far as it isn’t as time consuming as when I do one that is loaded with items because as anyone that visits this site on a constant or semi-constant basis knows that I tend to wordy. I also tend to lead myself into run-on sentences which probably make it unbearable (I do read back things sometimes a day or so later and wonder what I was thinking).

On that note I believe it is time to get to the credits which there are not as many of as I just mentioned but you’ll know the items and where to get them and that is the most important thing to me. I started blogging because I once contacted a blogger about an item and they were reluctant at best to tell me where the item came from. As it turns out it was something that was no longer available (which I’ve also made it a point to tell people in my blogs).

I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm, safe and living their best life. See all of you again very soon!

Best regards,

Brennan

[#580] Blood In The Water

We’ll never get free
Lamb to the slaughter
What you gon’ do
When there’s blood in the water

grandson, ♫Blood // Water♫

At first I had not planned on doing a blog post today but I felt a little bit inspired by a few things which meant a super quick post for everyone to look at. Once again I’m stepping out of my normal boundaries as I’ve always kind of wanted to shoot a photo like this but never had the courage to do so. It just took a tattoo, pose set and a shower build for me to complete it and maybe it’s about time?

One thing that I know for sure is never show it all just give a little bit and leave the rest to the imagination. I feel like my secondary shot also perhaps may have gone outside of my comfort level but if I am ever going to get over the fear of always playing it safe then I have to take risks (albeit tasteful ones). As I said a few key items helped me move towards the darkside a little closer, one of them being the “Dragon Lord Tattoo” by MooLoo Body Art.

I also thought I was finished with covering items from The Men Jail but I remembered this tattoo is a part of the January round so with about a week left of the event it was the right time to show it off. I like the incorporation of the flames mixed in with the skulls and what I would liken to Japanese masks which leads me to believe that it is an Asian inspired design. I’m not the creator of the item but that is what I would care to guess if I were asked about it more in depth.

Given the choice between the fresh and faded applier types, I chose to go with faded as it gives it a more worn look and I’ve also spoke about my feelings for fresh tattoos on the grid. This definitely looks awesome from front and back which I made sure to give equal showing of and hope that it is a good enough reason to take another trip to TMJ this month.

Recently within the last few blog posts I used a pose set from Lush Poses for The Men Jail and I’m once again using this stores pose set that is currently a part of the Pose Fair for January. Everyone knows of the old calendar’s with females in them (they still have them today so to speak) but this pose set is based off of what an all male calendar would be like and is appropriately named “12 Months Of Hunkiness”.

The prospects were good with finding the right pose (well poses since I used two for this shoot) and angles that ensure that I wouldn’t be showing anything extremely naughty because it would make me have to label it a certain way when I post to Flickr and that’s just not something I enjoy doing so it’s safe enough and that’s good enough for me.

As the name also implies there are 12 different poses (with mirrors for 24 total) that vary from laying, sitting and also standing which gives it not only a variety but also value as well. I like the concept of the pose set so I’m giving props to Lush for making another solid set of poses for men to use and for others to enjoy after the photos have been taken.

N21 starts it’s January/February round today and Modulus is releasing a new medium length hanging style, the “Adrian Hair”. When it comes to hair there really isn’t much out there that has a wet look and I figured that with this hair hanging down in the front that it gave the best appearance of the water from the shower hitting it just right so that I could wash it.

As a fan of the store and their releases, this is really high at the top of my current favorites list next to “Leo” which I have enjoyed that style as well. I also realize that Modulus has a style for just about every scene I come up with an idea for so that tells me that our partnership was meant to be and I hope that whenever I do blog the products that it shows in what I say and also how the photos present themselves too.

100% “nex-gen” alpha hair
5 color HUDs + integrated color picker (sold individually)

To aid me in completing this scene I used the “Wet Body & Face” by Izzie’s to give my skin more of a wet and glistening look but most importantly the background in the scene is the new “Minimalistic Walk In Shower” by Fourth Wall that is a part of the freshly opened round of FaMESHedX. For those who are not initiated it is like the original FaMESHed event but with a more adult selection of clothing and furniture.

I would have used the animations in the shower itself but it would have prohibited me from using the pose set; usually I don’t use builds or furniture with animations unless I use the included ones but I had to make a sacrifice to get the shot I wanted. Also I didn’t think it would be that great of an idea to do a video showing some of what it did as it would likely not be kept on YouTube very long.

On that note I think this is all the mileage I am going to get with this particular entry but I will be back with some more Pose Fair goodness before the time runs out on that. I appreciate everyone who has left comments here or on social media as of late because it’s been a great motivating factor for me which helps me keep working at kicking down the doors to new opportunities.

For all of the people that have had cold weather events recently stay warm, dry, and safe and know that I’m in the same boat as you. Keep the conversations going until we all converge on this page again!

Warmest regards,

– B

[#577] I’m A Slave 4 U

What’s practical is logical. What the hell, who cares?
All I know is I’m so happy when you’re dancing there.

Britney Spears, ♫I’m A Slave 4 U♫

After seeing the first image it will tell you that I definitely have not done a lot of photos in this manner before (or ever) but I thought since I did once use a Miley Cyrus song for a blog post that I’d dig deep and throw one out by Britney. She used to go to college for a short time in my area before she truly hit it big (and before this song came out I’m almost certain). So I grabbed some of the most appropriate items from The Men Jail and got cracking.

Generally I don’t seem wear accessories like necklaces or bracelets much less collars (as I’m vaguely familiar to what it is they are all about) but I certainly got a crash course with the HK Design’s “Neon Collar”. The collar comes in a scripted and unscripted version but for those who you who are knowledgeable with the RLV system (which if I’m certain is a Firestorm Viewer feature) it will allow you to give someone you trust the ability to do all sorts of different things and from what I saw includes sitting you on furniture or to pose in predetermined poses. For those of you who are a bit skeptical of the RLV thing there is the regular version that is just an accessory piece.

Being that this is one of the few times (I may have worn similar items before but I don’t remember 100%) I think that stepping out of my zone for a photo session like this is definitely a lot different then my usual process. Perhaps I will venture into deeper waters but I’m taking small steps at a time because I think if I dive off the building too quickly it is going to backfire and I will not want to do things of this type again but only time will tell!

The last few rounds of TMJ have featured a backdrop Gacha by The Bearded Guy; last month I blogged one from their “Our Heroes” set that I really enjoyed so I made it a plan to do so again with one from the “Different Feelings” set, which I am using the RARE “Hope” backdrop. The neon rainbow triangle is really awesome under certain lighting so I’d definitely recommend playing this machine or for those who are ambitious enough can buy the entire set outright and save the frustration of trying to win the ones you want (as I’ve been in that position many times).

The thought I had going into this photo is that yes, I am a straight male, but with that in mind I am comfortable with being able to feature items that might be marketed towards the LGBTQIA+ community. I firmly stand by the LGBTQIA+ community and show my support when I can via blogs, as well as encouraging friends who sometimes deal with situations in their lives that negatively impact them. Just to be clear, I’m not making any kind of crazy statement, I’m just showing some love and blogging some fun items.

Concluding the items from The Men Jail for this post is the pose pack that I am using from LUSH Poses. “Gone” is a pose set that features a mix of standing, leaning and sitting poses which is just right for those who may have some indecisive tendencies (such as myself). I determined that the best course of action to take with my photo is to lean slightly against the wall and let the glow of the neon bathe me for a cool effect.

This pose set has 7 different poses to choose from with an option of static poses (to be used in a personal pose stand), posesballs, and a pose stand that allows for its user to cycle through each pose. Mirror versions of all 7 poses are included as well so that a photo can be taken from the subjects best side. I haven’t had much interaction with Lush poses but I being a fan of poses (it is pretty obvious by now) that I will keep an eye on this store as well for the future.

The Epiphany is once again open for it’s first round of the year and the hair I am wearing is from Tableau Vivant as part of the “Bad Girls + Boys” set. I like the fact that they did something for both the men and women in this set (though to be fair the hair that I have on is unisex and the other hairstyles are for the ladies). At first I was unclear of which was which but I figured things out pretty quickly and also noticed that there are three different hairbase versions you can play for as well.

I kept to my usual hairbase as my photo wasn’t really focusing on the hair as it is an added bonus to the items I’m blogging from TMJ. Those who are fans of Tableau Vivant they should give this set a try and they may get lucky as one of the RARE packs came to me pretty quickly and I gladly passed it on to Brenna to wear as it wouldn’t do me any real good (and would look better on her).

There were a few other fun machines I played at the event like the CUREMORE “AsylumVillains” set (yes it is for women but I have a wife who will wear something if I asked or also the female version of me which I shall now refer by going forward as Lilith. I also have some fun items from the new Gabriel set (which is always a must for me as I’ve been a big fan of theirs over the years).

On that note it is time for me to get this here entry published and then start work on writing the next blog which I have already taken the photos for but have yet to see if they need any minor touches; I can say this: it’s something that I’ve never tried before and will certainly be different to the eyes of those who have visited this site often over time.

For all those out there I wish nothing but positive energy and thoughts as well as to keep the conversations going in the best way possible.

Until then be well with warm regards,

– B

And she never cared much anyway
Life’s so strange

Blink-182, ♫Last Train Home♫

With The Men Jail event about to close the doors for the current June round, I thought I would sneak one more little post in because I really liked the pose set from Lush Poses. Personally I’m not a cigar person or even smoke in real life but I’ve always thought it was interesting and there’s no harm in it when it’s just your pixels. I thought to myself why not go for it and use this set while the idea was floating around in my head.

LUSH Poses – Cigar Collection

Mesh Cigar Included
6 different poses (Cigars dedicated for each pose)
Pose Stand included

The Men Jail event is open until the 28th of June so time is running out to visit and find some quality products.

Currently the World Cup is going on and for all the Futbol nuts out there a trip to the Ultra event might be a necessity. ExalteD has released a jersey with so many options it just blows my mind and I definitely think that anyone that enjoys sports gear in-world will want this. I love wearing jerseys for just about any sport there is that I can get my hands on regardless of how much of a fan I am because if it looks cool to me then I’m wearing it. Here’s a bit of a breakdown for the item.

ExalteD – Soccer Tshirt

Fatpack with two separate HUDs (One for colors, one for details)

There’s two weeks left to visit the Ultra event which gives you until the 10th of July to take a trip there and discover what’s new with the June/July round.

A short while ago I featured a Modulus hair that included a backwards snapback hat and not long after that release, Modulus also came out with a front facing version with big of shag peaking out from under the brim. I really wanted to find a cool way to incorporate it and once I came across the Soccer shirt from ExalteD it became clear that it would definitely work in an outfit. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be a soccer hooligan with the cigar (but since I’m smoking on a train which is a no-no in the real world I guess I’m showing my rebellious side). To my knowledge this the last release that only had 25 colors total as now currently most if not all contain 40.

Modulus – Calvin Snapback

25 colors (5 different hair packs)
Blonds, Browns, Monochromes, Reds & Variants
Fatpack option available
Integrated tinting with each HUD for event more customization
6 different designs for snapback (changeable through hair HUD)

As I close out this blog entry I also want to give an honorable mention to a few other items that were a part of my look. The eyebrows that you see are the “Manly Eyebrows” from Patane which I picked up at the latest round of Hipster Men’s Event and also the “Blake” shorts in Dark Blue from Legal Insanity which are available at their mainstore.

The vision I had for this post was considerably different but due to the fact that I could not find a location that fit I was able to come up with an acceptable compromise. The Ashbury Cove sim has a really cool train depot right at the landing spot and I knew that I could make it work and I intend to go back to spend more time exploring there when I get an extra moment between commitments. The train car itself is really super detailed and blew me away and well worth checking out.

The next time there’s an entry it will be a milestone, the 500th blog entry and for me I knew that eventually it would come but it seems like time has just flew by over the past 4 years and I still love doing this as a creative outlet, hobby, and cheap therapy session. The ride is certainly far from over and until our paths cross again,

onto the next conversation…
