Chanchal means lively and playful in sanskrit and that’s the perfect name for this new set of intimates coming to the grid from Zaara. Chanchal will be available this weekend in 9 different colors: including soft, spring colors.

So keep an eye on the Zaara blog or join the Zaara inworld update group.

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.

From March 5th to March 8th Linden Lab is holding a special spring fashion event on the SL™ Community Fashion Forum and blogs. For my contribution to this event, I focused on mesh. You can check out my blog post at this link: Spring Mesh.

I’ve asked a few questions in the Fashion Forum as well. Login to the forum using your SL username and password and participate if you can:

1. What are your favorite jewelry stores?
2. Location Scouting: How do you discover new places to explore inworld? What’s one of your favorite places that you have recently discovered?
3. Mesh Avatars: Would you feel comfortable wearing a mesh avatar?

I will probably add more discussions later today so keep checking out the fashion forum and participate in some of the other discussions that the other participants have started.

Please feel free to IM, email or leave a comment in my blog post or on the forums if you have any questions or topics that you would like me to discuss!

All of my style credits along with location slurls can be found in my post here: Spring Mesh.

Ever since I first put on my Fashism eyes a month ago, I haven’t taken them off. Fashism is currently rebranding and have put all of their eyes on sale. You can check them out on the marketplace here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/79409
The sale ends next week.

I found this beautiful sim, Antiquity Saint Petersburg, on Koinup Places yesterday. It’s the perfect place for all your winter pictures.

Recently a lot of you have switched over to using Exodus Viewer and have been contacting me about a few things that you guys are all having problems with. I figured I’d cover them all here cuz it seems everyone is having the same issues.

1. Lines and/or glitches on your pictures: I did get that as well in the latest releases so I have actually gone back to Beta 5 which is available at this link: 11.10.31.1 That’s the release that is working best for me right now without any glitches or other issues. I will keep updating with every new release though and see if it works better for me.
2. New snapshot window: The new snapshot feature is actually part of SL Viewer 3 that Exodus has adapted. You will find the snapshot feature like this not only in Exodus but also in the official SL 3 viewers and any other viewer that has adapted the v3 UI. It’s a bit tricky to get used to but here are some screenshots of the steps you take to take a pic now:
   a. Click Save to Computer
   b. Click Resolution
   c. Choose your desired resolution and hit save
3. My resolution and graphics card: I shoot all of my pictures at 5760×3084 resolution and I have a gtx 560ti graphics card. All of the images you see on my blog are photoshopped (unless otherwise stated).

The tattoo I’m wearing is from Huz Tats. Huz Tats temporarily does not have an inworld location at the moment so if you’ve been looking to pick up some of the brilliant tattoos from there, you can try looking on marketplace or contacting Hunain Bellic inworld and he’ll be able to help you out.
