It’s been a while since I’ve done a male fashion post on my blog so I thought I should bring it back with a bang by introducing you to one of the sexiest men in my friend list. I’ve known Mr. Claudius Fouroux for a few years now and I cannot say that I have ever seen him look anything but completely drool worthy. He may look like a gorean master to you in this post, however, he’s one of the most brilliant male stylists I’ve seen on the grid. Every time I have seen him he always has a completely new look that he’s been playing around with. My favorite was when he had his dreadlocks, I was just swooning! I wish I had taken a pic back then.

Rumor has it that Mr. Fouroux is quite the ladies man, although I haven’t really seen anything to back that up, but I thought I should mention it in any case to make this post more scandalous. Sorry Claud, but you knew I was gonna throw you under the bus when you signed up for this! <3

When Mr. Fouroux is not busy being his incredibly handsome self in SL, I really have no idea what else he does or what his likes and dislikes are. He’s actually kind of a mystery. I know he used to be a fashion blogger back in the day, but I really haven’t seen him doing much lately. Perhaps we should all do some investigating. :P

A big thank you to Mr. Claudius Fouroux for taking the time out of his busy shagging schedule and posing for me. Also a big thank you to Miss Zaara Kohime for joining us in this photoshoot to be one of his harem girls.

For today’s male fashion post I got to interview the stylish couple, Gabe Bookmite and Garrett Ceriano. I met and got to know Gabe and Garrett on plurk. Gabe has an innocence about him that is not only lovable but hilarious at the same time. His plurks and responses always leave me giggling to myself. Garrett on the other hand, well I’ll be honest here, he kinda intimidated me at first. LOL But after a while I realized he’s quite a nice guy and not so intimidating. :P

Now they have come together and started their own fashion blog. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out: The Cerianos | Love and Fashion

So while I was taking their pictures, I of course had to do my usual poking, prodding and asking completely innocent questions. I love their responses because they really made their personalities shine. Here’s a glimpse of the Cerianos. <3

Berry: How long have you guys known each other in sl?
Garrett Ceriano: 5 minutes
Berry: lol
Gabe Ceriano: two years
Gabe Ceriano: well one
Gabe Ceriano: almost two

Berry: and what made you guys decide to start a blog together?
Gabe Ceriano: Um, Garrett has a nice style and I was getting bored of just me
Garrett Ceriano: I chose to blog with him because it’s what’s good for me.
Berry: were you threatened and blackmailed to do it?
Gabe Ceriano: Yes I did.
Garrett Ceriano: Well, my life is in danger
Berry: hahahahahaha
Gabe Ceriano: I told him he has to blog with me
Garrett Ceriano: We had intended on blogging together but I had never gotten around to doing that with him because I resisted and also had something “better” to do
Berry: hahahahhahaha I love your bluntness.
Garrett Ceriano: So we just decided since we get dressed up and such to go to functions together we could do the same for a blog
Garrett Ceriano: And i’ll give him credit for our new blog totally being his idea and it gives me something to use my creativity on, I’m more productive under pressure lol
Berry: awwww, you guys make a good team.

Berry: ok Garrett, tell me what you like most about Gabe. :P
Garrett Ceriano: afk
Berry: hahahahahaha
Berry: I think he’s running away from the question
Gabe Ceriano: he is. He dislikes me T-T
Gabe Ceriano: So Garrett what do you like about me? lol
Garrett Ceriano: We just met like 5 minutes ago
Garrett Ceriano: The things I like most about him are…
Garrett Ceriano: He can stick to scheduling better than I can
Garrett Ceriano: He can wear anything and pull it off, I can’t…
Berry: I would have to agree with that (him being able to pull off anything)
Garrett Ceriano: He puts up with my temper
Berry: you have a pretty bad temper huh?
Garrett Ceriano: NO COMMENT
Berry: hahahha

Berry: ok Gabe you tell me now, what do you like most about Garrett
Gabe Ceriano: I typed this when garrett was talking so
Garrett Ceriano: He likes that I cut him off when I’m still talking
Gabe Ceriano: Garrett is very passionate with everything he does. He has his view points as is very unwilling to change his view points. Sometimes he lets me be the boss. Sometimes. He’s sweet and kind and childish and he fixes my typos. He always makes me laugh…like now <-<
Berry: awwwwwwww you guys are totally adorable.
Garrett Ceriano: I think we keep each other grounded

I really had such a fun time chatting with both of them. They are both very down to earth and friendly, not to mention incredibly stylish. So do check out their blog when you get the chance.

Thank you Gabe and Garrett for posing for me. <3

I am happy and delighted to start up my male fashion posts again and boy do I have a bunch of fantastic men lined up to shoot. Today I got to drool over Mr. Bronson Twine.

I remember the first time I interacted with Mr. Twine, he was plurking the words to “The Loco-Motion” and of course I couldn’t stop myself and joined in. But the lyrics to awesome girly pop songs is not the only thing Mr. Twine knows well, he also knows how to create one of the most stylish avatars on the grid. If you’ve never had the pleasure of reading his blog, don’t wait another second and check out (ir)regular guy.

While I was snapping his pictures, I of course could not resist asking him a bunch of questions and admittedly flirting a little. :P

Strawberry Singh: ok so first question is…where have you been all my life? joking (not really)
Bronson Twine: hahaha.

Strawberry Singh: What else do you do in sl? Other than blogging and looking handsome.
Bronson Twine: Very little, really. For quite a while SL has been about blogging and photography for me.

Strawberry Singh: Are you as stylish in your RL as you are in SL?
Bronson Twine: Probably not. I get to wear stuff in SL that I would in RL if I had the money and confidence. In RL I’m pretty much a t-shirt and jeans kinda guy. And I usually am here too.

Strawberry Singh: Is there anything that inspires you to create your looks? Or does it just come to you?
Bronson Twine: Inspiration can come from all sorts of places. Often I can pick op a piece and build an outfit around that. But music is also a major inspiration and I’ll sometimes build a look based on a particular musical style or genre. But mainly it’s whatever pops into my head when I start pulling a look together. Which is always a good thing….

Strawberry Singh: What do you love about SL the most?
Bronson Twine: The people. The creativity. The freedom to look and be whatever you want to on that particular day.

Strawberry Singh: So the next question is for all the girls…are you single? :P
Bronson Twine: Yes. Yes, I am. By choice, though.

Strawberry Singh: Is locomotion your most favorite song ever?
Bronson Twine: It comes pretty close. More songs should have dances that go with them. Closer by Nine Inch Nails is also a favourite. It’s a tender love song.
Strawberry Singh: you know I am gonna write that in the post that you said locomotion is pretty close to your fav song ever
Bronson Twine: I guessed you might. But everybodies doing a brand new dance now….

Strawberry Singh: LOL, so what’s your biggest pet peeve in SL?
Bronson Twine: People who stand at landing points and then yell at you when you land on them is a peeve. Then theres always the eternal issue of bling…

Strawberry Singh: I knew I shouldda busted out my bling shoes today
Bronson Twine: I’m sure you look wonderful in them.
Strawberry Singh: You are quite the charmer.
Bronson Twine: Full of shit, some people might say. But I try to be the nicest person I can be.
Strawberry Singh: Well I think you are very nice.
Bronson Twine: thank you. I think the same about you.
Strawberry Singh: oh so then you will partner me?
Bronson Twine: Possibly….
Strawberry Singh: lol, could be fun
Bronson Twine plays hard to get.
Strawberry Singh: hahahaha, you know if you reject me I have skittles as a back up
Bronson Twine: We all have Skittles as a back up.
Strawberry Singh: LOL that is SO going in the post
Bronson Twine: Shes going to kill me…bless her pink, fluffy cotton socks.

and this is where I’m gonna end my post so I can watch the lovely Magenta DeVinna (AKA Skittles) kill him. :) My work here is done!

Thank you Bronson for taking the time to pose for me. Your work is inspiring, it was a pleasure meeting and talking to you. <3

So I tricked another innocent guy to pose for my male fashion posts. :D

Ok fine! I admit that Lulu has been asking me to take his picture for about 6 months now but I was too scared to because HELLO! He is THE LULU JAMESON! I was totally too intimated but then I thought of this evil plan to ask him to be on my blog so I can make fun of him. But I was nice and told him ahead of time about my plan and then he threatened me. YES PEOPLE!! LULU JAMESON THREATENED ME! He is doing a picture of me in return and said he would wait to process it and if I said anything mean he would draw mustaches on me. :(

So you know what that means right? Yup, I’m gonna go ALL OUT! Let’s start with how I actually met Lulu. OH YES! When the talented Miss Gabrielle Sinatra took my picture back in 2008 Lulu was ALL OVER IT flirting with me. But I promised that I wouldn’t link to that picture and embarrass him further. However, I didn’t promise that I wouldn’t link to this picture on my stream. muahaha :D That’s the first picture Mr. Lulu Jameson ever did of me. He was so sweet and shy when I met him that day, it was totally adorable! LOL Then of course, a few months later I ran into him at LE.LOOK! when he was all neko’d out. Look, I have the pic to prove it! :D

So now that I have blogged all of this, I am sure you will be seeing a picture of me soon covered in mustaches, but that’s ok because it was totally worth it! :P

Honestly though, Lulu’s work is incredibly inspiring and he is one of the most sweetest, humble, caring and talented people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is one of the photographers I look up to and strive to be like.

Lulu and his beautiful partner Fauve Beaumont are a force to be reckoned with. Not only are they amazing fashion bloggers and photographers but they are both talented content creators. Check out all their links below!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of having a very interesting conversation with a Linden! I have to admit, Zed Linden is probably one of the most stylish Lindens I’ve seen on the grid. I couldn’t help but to try to persuade him to pose for me for one of my male fashion posts. Lucky for me, I didn’t have to try too hard. He’s very friendly and as you can see from his answers to the questions I threw at him below, he’s also very enthusiastic. :D

So here is my attempt at being a goofy interviewer:

Strawberry: Hi Zed! How long have you been working for Linden Lab and what has your main focus or project been while you’ve been here?
Zed: Hello!  I’ve been a Linden for about two and a half years.  I’m a software engineer, and I mainly work on our websites and web services. Since I started at the Lab, my main focus has been on registration. The latest-greatest version of registration was recently released (Rodvik Linden blogged about it here), and it’s something that everyone involved is really proud of. Go check it out — invite your friends!

I recently switched groups and now I work in our Internal Tools team. This group is responsible for creating the software that our support team uses, so our goal is to help make our customer service representatives more efficient and make people’s lives easier. In the long run, these things benefit every user. My new group is also responsible for JIRA and handful of very interesting applications used within Linden Lab.

Strawberry: You’ve been a Linden for quite some time, but it seems like you’ve just recently and suddenly appeared in world.  Where did you come from?!?
Zed: A few months ago, I realized that for a long time, I had only been logging into Second Life to attend Linden Lab meetings. So, I decided to start logging in and exploring more often.  The first thing I noticed were these amazing men’s fashion blogs like In Cold Blood, Carthalis, (ir)regular guy, SixX, and the F*cking Slipsters.  I was impressed that their styles were all so creative and unique, and their photography made their avatars look larger than life!  These guys gave me something to latch onto and a real motivation to keep logging in.  After a couple weeks of following the blogs and meeting people I was hooked: I fell in love with Second Life and my job all over again.  True story :)

Strawberry: There’s no doubt about it, you are one of the sexiest Lindens inworld. Who or where do you go to for sl fashion advice? Or does it just come to you naturally?
Zed: Ha!  Well thank you very much for the kind words.  I really have no sense of fashion, and in RL I’m a complete mess.  I am somewhat new to the SL world of men’s fashion: I’m still getting my feet wet and I’m figuring out what my style is.  I recently asked a friendly and brilliant blogger for style advice, and his response was “Well, what do you want your style to say?”  This kind of blew my mind, both because I had no idea how to answer, and also because no one had ever asked me this before (including myself!).

Blogs are currently my #1 source of ideas and tips.  When I see an item blogged from a shop I’ve never heard of, I go check out the shop to see what it has to offer.  I also really enjoy hunts, especially the MENstuff Hunt!  And I’m pleasantly amazed at the recent explosion of fashionable charity events, such as Fashion for Life, the Fantasy Faire, and all the fundraisers for Japan — you’re doing a very noble thing: please keep up the great work!   I love exploring and finding new places, and I love chatting up designers.  I’m really impressed with the variety and creativity that I find when I’m out and about.

Strawberry: What are some of the new and upcoming things (viewer updates, events, etc…) that the Lab has planned that you are pretty excited about?
Zed: There’s a lot of great stuff coming up for everyone in Second Life! There are new features and Viewers – the Environmental Settings Project Viewer is out now, we’ve just launched the new official SL Viewer with better search and real-time shadows, we’re continuing to make enhancements to SL Viewer Basic Mode, and mesh import is coming this summer – to name just a few things. And there are some great events coming inworld (SL8B kicks off June 20) and in real life (SLCC is August 12-12). As always, the best place to find out about all the exciting things as (and before) they happen is the official Second Life blog.

Strawberry: When do YOU think the rapture will really happen?
Zed: As soon as my RLGF reads this blog post!

Strawberry: Pepsi or Coke?
Zed: I’m more of an energy drink person.  Vast amounts of secondlife.com code were fueled by late nights, Red Bull, and heavy metal!

Strawberry: Be honest with us, have you ever got on a poseball and slexed? If so, with whom? :D
Zed: NO.

Well after THAT answer I thought I should just shutup. LOL! A big thank you to Zed for giving me the honor of not only taking his picture but for also gracing my blog. Thank you very much Mr. Linden! <3
