Taken in the Apple Fall Country Hall @ my homestead.

Ok so my brain has well and truly been up my backside today, and I've neglected to think of a subject to write about, also, tomorrow I will be going out with family for my first 'public' meal since I've been feeling better... so that's possibly weighing on my mind a little. I mean, who wants to sit a freakin' restaurant with a bunch of people they don't know, feeling super self conscious while celebrating a 40th Wedding Anniversary?

I actually asked my Dad how he felt about being married to my mum for that long, and I was hoping/expecting for some beautiful sentiment or maybe at a push, something flattering about his children (eg, me.) but no. The response I got was "To be honest, I'm kinda numb to it now."

Now I'm remembering and giggling to myself like a plonker!

In other news, TMD is open, Lads! Go grab your new things!

Hi!

Happy Man-Pickle Monday!

I'm not gonna write a bunch of nonsense today, because honestly, my brain is up my backside, and much as it can be amusing to witness my attempts to pull my own head out of my ass, I'd like to be able to do it privately.. maybe with the help of a couple of reliable friends :P

Have a wonderful day, and make sure you check out the awesome items on offer at this month's TMD!

Chasing the dream.

Pose : FOXCITY. Mens - Night Owl-2

Props : ..::THOR::.. PizzaLounge Set @ TMD

I feel like I may have mentioned this before, but I'm going there again, just in case some of you are new or may have forgotten, but I love, love LOVE Pizza. 

I'm also one of those people who thinks that you can put anything on a pizza, and yes, that includes pineapple.

I also LOVE TMD. So often I hear "But there's nothing out there for men and girls get all the good stuff" and then I pop over to The Mens Dept and I can literally pick up items from there alone that can be used in multiple outfits, everything your man-body might need, shoes, clothes, skins, tattoo's, hairs, hairbases... and a lot of the creators are sweet enough to offer alternative fashion for female avatars too. Although you probably won't find much in the way of female Belleza/Hourglass clothing, many of the shoe designers do offer both male and female options, and what people often forget is that by allowing Maitreya into the equation, they're also creating for the femboys that use the v-tech chest add on, too.

Anywho... here's a fun thing about the Sneakers I'm wearing : they have SOCK INSERTS.

I'm making some serious heart hands over these (sorry that's not a manly expression, I absolutely suck at being a dude), because SO many times you put on a pair of sneakers as a man-avatar and they leave a huge gaping gap between the ankle and the shoe itself, and these socks are perfect! The shoes are pretty neat too! 

Enjoy your weekly edition of Man-Pickle!

Santi's Pose (Left): Go&See * Gallant * 1

Man-Pickle's Pose (Right):  Go&See * Gallant * 5

More info on the video below!

The poses I've used today are from  Go&See, and well, they're not ACTUALLY poses. They're very slightly animated with bento, which is amazing, because how many of you guy-things are hungry for more AO stands that don't parade you around like a hungry Lion? Yes. Exactly.

I think many guys struggle to find new, quality things to wear in SL. I'm not sure it's because there's a lack of designers, because TMD  alone showcases some amazing talent, but when you are willing to actually spend time on your appearance, it's really kind of easy to find different looks. The problem I have encountered with the guys I have helped make-over, is that there is often an aura of "I can't wear that, I'll look ridiculous" when actually, with the right pairing of accessories, I don't think ANYTHING looks ridiculous in SL. It's about expression!

It's always baffled me that so many people are willing to portray themselves as something different attitude-wise, but ask them to wear something different to what they would in RL and all hell breaks loose.

On that note, InstaDoms, please stick to your shiny belt buckles, long flexi hair and master tags. If you're easy to spot, you're also easy to avoid. ♥
