So you know that bit when you buy a new male corset and it has gold and black studs, and you think “Hmm… I wonder what else I’ve bought recently that can go with this?

TWO MONTHS. This is just the last two months worth of gold studded leather.

Yeah; sure I’m a vampire and the whole “wardrobe stolen from Joan Jett” look is de rigeur, but I’m wondering at which point this becomes a sickness.

Actually – you know what?

SHUT UP YOU DON’T KNOW ME YOU DON’T KNOW MY LIFE.

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

Axel

Two new male skins from DNA Cloning Facilities, Axel and Damien. Damien is the more tall, dark and handsome type whereas Axel is cute, boyish, bratty and blond. I’m kinda really diggin Axel on man-berry. I think if I saw that walk past me down the road I would be like “helloooo.” Yeah so guys, definitely check out the new skins, they are delicious. Also take a look at my favorite male blogger’s Axel and Damien posts for more details on the skins.

Damien

When I got the skins and tried them on, I knew I just wanted to make them look a little badass and what makes you more badass than some awesome tattoos? I usually only wear tattoos from one place now, Huz Tats. That is my go to place for tattoos because he has a little bit of everything I would ever want. He’s got the best henna & kanji tattoos, funky colorful tattoos, horoscope tattoos and now he is even getting into face tats that are completely hand-drawn.

So after you get your new skins from DNA, make sure to stop by Huz to rock it out!

Status is the first male skin from Exile and he will be released on Friday. He comes in 5 skin tones, (pale, light, tan, bronze and dark). I am wearing the tan tone. There are 9 facial hair options, hairbase option and two brow shapes. Four tattoo layers are also available for teeth, kohl eyeliner, body hair and time lines (age lines).

The skin will cost L$1500 for each skin (which includes two brows, hairbase option & all tattoos) and L$3500 for fatpack in a single tone.

I think Status is absolutely delicious, I especially like him shirtless with just his boxers on, but I had new male clothes that I was just dying to wear! I love it when a designer makes awesomely stylish clothing so I don’t have to put too much thought into dressing my male self. If you haven’t been to FIR & MNA yet, you totally should. They have very well done clothing, not just for the boys…but ladies as well.

I just wanted to quickly talk about something. Now that December has started and the holidays are upon us, I will be going on vacation for a few days then I will have family coming by so it will be quite a busy month for me. Therefore I am postponing all my regular blog posts such as Love Thursdays, Blogger challenges, Favorite things, etc… and will just be doing quick posts to catch up on some blogging and photography work I have been lagging behind in. I will start all my regular blog posts up again in January after the new year, but I’ll still be here blogging whenever I can. Hopefully Catero or Sean will pick up some of the slack and blog more often as well. I think y’all should yell at them to do so! :P
