Super short one today because the whole vlog ordeal made me so anxious I'm kinda exhausted... plus Potato Man's internet seems to be stable atm so I'm literally making grabby hands at him!

Body, Hands & Feet : [SIGNATURE] Gianni - Mesh Body
When Bueno popped this building in Collabor88 I got a little excited. My Potato man is of Cuban descent, and we'd recently been talking about the streets of Cuba having tons of old vehicles parked against the sides of the roads. I can't remember the exact reason, because honestly, my brain kind of tunes out anything that has something to do with politics (and I think that's what happened here, something to do with not being able to trade or.. idk?) anyway, because of the weird politics I can't remember, the only vehicles Cuba has are those which are built entirely IN Cuba, or those that have been kept by Cuban people learning how to repair existing parts from cars that were imported back in the 50's and 60's.
I realize that my photography skills for this particular idea may be lacking, but I entirely encourage you to google the streets of Cuba, because without a doubt, the images are stunning.
Regardless, I hope you enjoy Man-Pickle Friday, it's a bit of a change for me, but entirely necessary - have you seen the awesome man-things he's wearing!?

One of the big reasons I decided to bring Man-Pickle out on a day that isn't Monday was thanks to this skin by Revoul named Ezekiel.
My head of choice for Man-Pickle for a long time has been Stanley, by Catwa, and that's due to my love of thicker lips and wider noses, plus the chiseling of the cheeks and the squarer jaw that is far easier to achieve on Stanley than Daniel. Luckily for me, the Ezekiel skin accentuates all of those features I love so hard, and above you can see all the tones available from RE05, to RE40.
Here are two of the body options available for the male body, shown in my tone preference of RE25.
On the left is a "Fit" version, and on the right i'm featuring the "Soft". I believe there might be a third option as "Chubby", but I've yet to get my hands on that one, and as soon as I do, I'll showcase it! I for one am super excited about seeing a chubby option for the guys, because who doesn't love a Dad Bod?!
I'm not sure how well this depicts Cuban music, as the Potato's internet went poof, but I absolutely love the shots of the streets and the view of the cars etc shown in the video, so, enjoy! ♥
I was lucky enough to stumble across this gorgeous sim by Eripom Moonwall thanks to my friend Jakeb. For flickr fans, you may already be aware of Eripom, and you can find their stream >Here< and Jakeb is completely responsible for my in-world profile picture and you can find his flickr stream >Here<
TMD opened for a new round yesterday (5th August), and as usual, the selection of male fashion is out of this world. I'm kinda loving how man-Pickle looks today. Being blonde in SL has always been a struggle for me, moreso as a guy because of the restrictions you get on hairbases etc. It's REALLY hard to tint hairbases to blonde, but thanks to the roots on the L'etre hair shown in todays picture, I had absolutely no problem making my base brown, and still rocked the blonde!
One thing I've noticed as a guy is finding shoes and pants that fit together is almost impossible. Today, instead of wearing the Gianni fit shoes I've decided to go with the unrigged version, and edited my height accordingly. Don't be afraid to experiment with sizes, even if it's not for your particular mesh body - because sometimes, creating an outfit that doesn't clip equals making adjustments to the way you would usually wear your outfit.
I feel like maybe Man-Pickle may have reverted to Boy-Pickle for this bloggy, but I'm kind of digging the entire look.
It's been a bit of a running joke that I could make the perfect fuckboy - and I think I might have proved that assertion correct, however, if I'm gonna be a fuckboy, I'm gonna be the best damn fuckboy SL has seen. With that said, here are a few rules if you would like to be the best fuckboy you can be. (This is satire, if you can't handle it - scroll on down for the regular details!)
1. Begin every IM with "Hey bbg." "Hey slut." or another derivative to prove your Internet Dominance.
2. After initial IM wait 10 minutes to respond to every message you receive.
3. Feign some sort of interest in the latest video game/anime.
4. Complain tirelessly about the girls who won't leave you alone because you're just so awesome.
5. Share your musical talent with everyone you talk to, asap.
6. Give out backhanded compliments. "You look like shit. That shirt is cute tho boo."
7. All your exes are batshit.
I'm tired. There's more, but tbh, if you wanna be a fuckboy - fuck off. :P
I'm having immense troubles using my brain today, so this will be quick!
Santi and I were exploring yesterday, after many, many days of me saying "TAKE ME SOMEWHERE NEW!" he stumbled across this sim. Let's be honest, SL has and is becoming a place where we tend to introvert more, standing alone or with friends on platforms has taken over and finding pretty places to hang out, even for photography is more and more difficult because the pretty places are generally kinda private, or involve a heavy fee to get into. This sim... THIS SIM... is someone's home. They have clearly lovingly created a place with exceptional taste, with nooks for cuddles for intimate moments, and areas where you can invite friends and sit and chat. I am beyond flawed by the quality of this sim, and this photograph of the delicious Man-Pickle does not do it any justice. I implore you to visit, the only thing the sim owners request is that you are nice, so don't be a dick, k?
Also worth mentioning, rezzing is open, with a timer... so you can throw a pose down but it WILL get returned to you promptly, unless you're sitting on it. ♥

I've often been tempted to start attending a roleplay area. Usually, I get all the shopping done, create a backstory for my character and then completely wimp out about actually interacting with anyone or creating story-lines. It's not because I'm uncertain about my roleplay abilities... in fact i'm probably disgustingly over-confident in that respect. Again, it comes down to being afraid to actually dip my toe in and get started.
I give full props to Santi for finding the location for this post today. There I was.. all Man-Pickled up and whining mercilessly to him; "I'm so stinkin' cute but I don't know where.." I knew I wanted a fraternity house but I'm so terrible with the search button and so easily distracted!
This sim is set up beautifully. If you're looking to roleplay in a university theme, I would recommend this on looks alone, who knows, maybe you'll even find a Man-Pickle wandering around :P

I had a bunch of fun with this post, which is TOTALLY based on the awesome lip-sync challenge below. Go on, Jenna & Channing, definite relationship goals!
