BOW/SASH: DRIFT L’Bow 2 Red

SHIRT: 22769 Homme Asymmetric Shirt white/black trim

PANTS: SHI Drape Bermudas

LEGGINGS: SHI Luca Meggings Black

COLLAR JEWELRY: SHi Lacet Motif Collar

BOOTS: Hoorenbeek Mullingar

I had these items in my inventory for a long time now and today I was inspired to do a modern day Samurai. A man who is very brave and honorable. A man who will stand up for what’s right and will fight for love.

I love unique items…they always catch my eye like these asymmetric shirt by 22769. It is simple but the way its created just pops. I combined it with another unique creation from SHI called Drape Bermudas. To add a bit of color and drama, the red sash/bow is from DRIFT. I love the whole new look. I hope it will inspire you to create your own hero/heroine.

GLORY OF LOVE by Peter Cetera

Tonight it’s very clear, as we’re both standing here,
There’s so many things I want to say.
I will always love you, I will never leave you alone.

Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret,
It breaks my heart to see you crying.
I don’t want to lose you, I could never make it alone.

I am a man who would fight for your honor,
I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of.
We’ll live forever, knowing together that we did it all for the glory of love.

You keep me standing tall, you help me through it all,
I’m always strong when you’re beside me.
I have always needed you, I could never make it alone.

I am a man who would fight for your honor,
I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of.
We’ll live forever,knowing together that we did it all for the glory of love.

Just like a knight in shining armor from a long time ago.
Just in time I will save the day,
take you to my castle far away.

I am a man who would fight for your honor,
I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of.
We’ll live forever,knowing together  that we did it all for the glory of love.
We’ll live forever, knowing together that we did it all for the glory of love.

WE DID IT ALL FOR LOVE.

HAIR by DURA: DURA – Boy #41

Love this new release hair by DURA called DURA boy # 41. It is clean and loosely piled back but with a couple strands coming down in the front.  It looks almost windswept and carefree. It comes in many colors and a resize script. DURA hair has been one of my favorites for a long time because it is very well made and detail oriented.

SUIT by VERO MODERO: Rico Suit

This is the newest suit by Vero Modero called The Rico Suit. Thank you to Bouquet Babii for the honor. I love it because the patterns on the jacket are just fantastic. The creme colored jacket combined with the maroon colored pants makes a very striking combination which is perfect for VALENTINE’s DAY and other special occasions. It is MESH and I think it can be worn by ladies as well. I saw several ladies looking sharp in it in their blogs. ❤

PS: There is also a new VERO MODERO suit named after Editorial Clarity and it is fabulous.

The Bayou

The sunset is dawning at the old bayou.
I’m here waiting for a love so true.
Beneath the branches of a willow tree,
I’m waiting for my true love to come to me.

The cicadas are chirping, loud and clear.
Singing clearly for everyone to hear.
The mangroves  sheltered our secret place,
Dragonflies buzzing in their lazy pace.

My lover came like a breath of fresh air.
My heart beating fast without care.
I ran into his warm sweet embrace
and he greets me with a million kisses on my face.

Later, we danced, under moonlight and gloss,
Our bodies ebullient, barefoot on moss.
And all through that summer, we met without fail,
Loving each other ‘neath the bayou’s sweet veil.

FASHION: Strip’d Fashion -Burkley Jacket-

The Burkley jacket is a brand new release for men from Strip’d Fashion. It is MESH and totally amazing because it comes with a HUD that lets you change the color of the jacket, shirt and tie into many different combinations to create the perfect look you want to achieve. It can be used for formal as well as casual, depending on the combination you want to create. Best of all, it is very affordable.

RUNNING INTO YOU: The world is full of millions of people from different countries with their own cultures and languages. It is just amazing to me how people meet especially in a Virtual World called Second Life. I met my partner in SL and RL here and he lives across the Atlantic Ocean from me. I probably would never have met him if it weren’t for Second Life. What is even more amazing is that we fell in love and will be living together this summer in real life.

Edi, running into you back in 2009 when we met for the very first time was a very special day I’ll never forget. I heard your voice on the stream and I messaged you (which I never do btw) and asked you..”Is that your voice on the stream? Sounds very sexy.” Ever since then, you were stalking me until I finally married you. ;p

The chance of meeting someone and falling in love is very rare, whether in SL or RL. It is really a miracle that LOVE HAPPENS even in a virtual game. When you find love, treasure it and fight for it cuz once you lose it, you might never get it back. Never let anyone devalue what you have. Love is never a game even in a Virtual World. We are human beings behind the avatars and we all have feelings. I wish you all love and happiness. May you find your special someone. ❤

Our son Sachy asked us to model this latest release “Burkley” for a Vendor Ad for Strip’d Fashions. The idea behind it is Edi and I are two store front MANnequins on display in a posh high end store. I think it turned out very well. Thanks Sachy.

RicoRacer Flux: Killing Me Softly…

Killing Me Softly…

MODEL & PHOTOGRAPHER: RicoRacer Flux

FASHION: 

I’ve been wanting to do a fashion blog on this song by Roberta Flack “Killing Me Softly”. It is one of my favorite songs because it is tender and relatable. Have you ever heard a song that just speaks to you? Some songs are like that just like fashion. I wanted to create a look that is casual but chic and stylish….something a modern musician would wear. This COCO black leather jacket with the gold trim collar is perfect. It is simple with its clean lines yet elegant. I really love the Gold trim on the collar; other colors are also available like black or silver. The super sexy Tableau Vivant see-through shirt is a nice contrast to the clean lines of the jacket. I really love mixing and matching contrasting textures..makes it interesting. The stylish SWAT pants is also from Tableau Vivant. Check out the realistic folds along the length of the pant legs. Necklace is from one of my favorite jewelry store in SL: Rozoregalia. I might not be able to kill you softly with a song, but I hope I killed it in style. 🙂

LYRICS:

Chorus:

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

[Chorus]

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

[Chorus]

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn’t there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song.

Baby you don’t know me, cause you’re dead wrong.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller!
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter.
Footsteps even lighter!
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger…

FASHION: Okay, I’m in an EMO mood and what better way to express it than to dress up in an ultra chic black outfit from one of my favorite stores: Tableu Vivant. They recently released a lot of cool new mesh items and I’m hooked. I love the simplistic style, yet it is unique and breathtaking the way they play with the shape and textures of their designs. For example: This Cossak trousers are just amazing the way it balloons at the top and tapers it down to the legs; the fabric just flows. Paired the look with a corset from Cheerno, gloves from Vero Modero and boots from Hoorenbeek. Make up by Nuuno adds a nice finishing touch to my EMO ensemble. Afterall If you are gonna be sad, LOOK FABULOUS!!!

“Everybody Hurts”

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you’re sure you’ve had enough
Of this life, well hang onDon’t let yourself go
‘Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimesSometimes everything is wrong
Now it’s time to sing along
When your day is night alone (Hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (Hold on)
If you think you’ve had too much
Of this life, well hang on

Everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don’t throw your hand, oh no

Don’t throw your hand
If you feel like you’re alone
No, no, no, you are not alone

If you’re on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you’ve had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes

So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts

Suit: (SARTORIA) Traveller’s MILLS black suit
HAT: Shai Bowler’s Hat
SHOES: Sartoria Elegance Shoes

A very nice suit by TRAVELLERS, formerly known as Sartoria, called MILLS Suit. I love the nice craftsmanship and simple elegance of the suit. The suit is very unique with the two tones that complements each other nicely. The white shirt with the skinny black tie adds a beautiful contrasts to the dark jacket. Shai’s bowler’s hat completes the look of an English Gentleman with a flair for the old days gone by. It is suitable in a business setting, a fancy restaurant dinner  or to a nice relaxing stroll in a park. My hubby took me on a fabulous date yesterday and this suit was just perfect.

“Chasing Cars”

We’ll do it all. Everything, On our own.
We don’t need…Anything Or anyone.If I lay here… If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?I don’t quite know How to say How I feel.
Those three words Are said too much. They’re not enough.If I lay here… If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told Before we get too old.
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life.

Let’s waste time..
Chasing cars Around our heads.
I need your grace To remind me
To find my own.

If I lay here… If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told Before we get too old.
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life.

All that I am. All that I ever was…
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see.
I don’t know where. Confused about how as well..
Just know that these things will never change for us at all.

If I lay here… If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Boquet Babii, lovely and extraordinary designer of the popular brand Vero Modero, made this carefree yet stylish casual wear that shows off the fantastic contour of the body. The shirts are luxurious in texture and rich in color yet still comfortably casual. It fits on any occasion, whether hanging out with friends or dancing the night away at a popular hot spot. The shirts come in different colors and you can take a pick of whether long sleeved or short sleeved. The jeans are very form fitting whether you choose normal or boot cut. I just love the realistic textures which looks like my favorite worn jeans that I love to wear over and over again.

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don’t know if I’m being foolish

And it’s there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air

Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don’t know if I’m just dreaming
Don’t know if I feel sane
But it’s something that I must believe in
And it’s there when you call out my name

Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don’t know if you’re an illusion
Don’t know if I see it true
But you’re something that I must believe in
And you’re there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don’t know if I’m being foolish
Don’t know if I’m being wise

But it’s something that I must believe in
And it’s there when I look in your eyes.

I’m a graduate and professional model from excellent fashion academies and i’ve been modeling since May of 2010. I’m an exclusive model for elite designers, i have good live modeling experience in stores, good runway experience, various print jobs and i’m a cover model for magazines. I strive to excell at being an excellent model, to learn something new every day and to help others in the same way. I’m always friendly, happy, and always trying to do all my best.

MVW contest: Almost one year ago i was into a male fashion store and i was just starting out as an trainee model when i learned about MrVW contest from a friend. I was impressed from that moment of great opportunity. It become really my first goal from that day and i always proclaimed this at my closer friends. So, i started to work hard every day, building a private runway too behind my house (LOL), training me in walks and poses and sharing experiences and emotions with people who have always believed in my ability to model. I’m glad cause i did everything with professionalism without forgetting the fun. I suppose all this helped me to achieve the title of finalist of this exciting contest. Whatever will be the result, i’m sure this contest is going to be my best ever cause i have various friends here and i met someone new too. It’s a great experience that let improve myself so i’m putting 100% of myself for the final event, always being professional and filling what i do with my personality and my sense of style. My primary purpose is to show myself not only like a excellent model.. but here i am, so.. why don’t try to win? 😉

MR. Japan 2011: Zachary Zufreur

It was by chance I entered Mr VW. At that time, I was photographing my client, BOSL Top Male Model RicoRacer Flux, when he mentioned that the Mr. VW contest is on and egged me to submit an entry. After much persuasion, I decided to take the plunge into the unknown. Being shortlisted for the audition was when things started to feel ‘real’. I did a crash course on runway / poses / prims and styling from my friends who are models. My first public runway walk was during the auditions and it was nerve wrecking knowing that so many people, including the judges were watching me. But soon as i was on the runway, I felt the adrenaline rush and I knew that I fell in love with modeling. 

Winning the title of Mr. Virtual World would mean that many doors of opportunities would be opened not just for me, but also for many aspiring designers and photographers. I’ve always believed that SL is a bridge to the real world. That photoshop skills could be picked up, improved and polished and that skill could be applied to the real world. I also believe in discovering and endorsing talented new designers who deserve a chance to shine.

I had the pleasure of modeling this outfit for PASSION Agency and I can’t stop wearing it. lol. I’m a big fan of Honey Bender’s designs for Faster Pussycat. I love how she infused the street punk glam and outrageous edginess into her designs like this outfit for example. The combination of a well made edgy kilt paired with long pants is inventive and unique. I love the texture and the well made prims. The camouflage top adds an unexpected yet beautiful contrast to the bold red/black colors of the pants/kilt. The makeup is from Garded Secret called Evil Eyes.

Recently been in a fashion show by BeStyle DIstrict Agency and it was such fun to style and wear the latest Agys Secret Street Wear. I love designs that are edgy yet casual enough to wear anywhere, whether shopping, relaxing at home or hanging out with friends. I love this old worn blue jeans from Agys Secret. The ripped faded worn-out texture gives a perfect appearance of an old treasured jeans that you just love so much that you wore it to death. The tough black leather jacket, also by Agys Secret, is very masculine and sexy. It will show your well defined chest and abs to perfection. =) This tattoo from White~Widow goes perfectly with the tough look. What’a a tough guy look without my favorite gloves from Cheerno: Poker Gloves? Since I am a make-up/Face tattoo layer freak, I had to have this stylish asian inspired makeup by Garded Secret to stand out. Speaking of being unique, TSM hairstyles give you that funky edge.

Made a wrong turn, once or twice.
Dug my way out, blood and fire.
Bad decisions, that’s alright.
Welcome to my silly life!

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood…
Miss knowing it’s all good, It didn’t slow me down!
Mistaken, Always second guessing, underestimated…
Look, I’m still around!

Pretty pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than f*ckin’ perfect.
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you’re nothing…
You are perfect to me!

You’re so mean when you talk about yourself, you were wrong.
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead!
So complicated, look how big you’ll make it!
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game.
It’s enough! I’ve done all I can think of.
Chased down all my demons, I’ve seen you do the same.

Oh, pretty pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than f*ckin’ perfect.
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you’re nothing.
You are perfect to me.

The whole world’s scared so I swallow the fear.
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer.
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it’s a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they’re everywhere.
They dont like my jeans, they don’t get my hair.
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time.
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?

Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty please!
Pretty pretty please, don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than f*ckin’ perfect.
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel
Like you’re nothing, you’re perfect to me
You’re perfect, you’re perfect!
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you’re nothing
You’re perfect to me.

FASHION: Champagne! Sparkling Fashion IMPERIAL

One of my favorite designer in Second Life has done it again. Enzo Champagne has created an eye catching masterpiece that just demands attention. The outfit fits the grand name: IMPERIAL.  This blue and silver shimmering stunner is finely detailed with exotic feathers, gems and silks. The magnificent headdress is adorned with diamonds and sapphires that is fit for a King. The grand voluminous feathers on the back is very exotic and rich with the striking combination of Blue, Silver and Black colors. The outfit also comes with a sash, briefs and wrist bands adorned with glittering diamonds and gems. Somehow when I wear this outfit, It makes me feel like a Grand Exotic Bird that Can’t Be Tamed. Enzo Champagne have that magical effect with his awesome designs. I always wait in excitement and anticipation with what he will come up next.

The makeup/tattoo layer is from Talyia Tarber’s Garded Secret called Male Black Swan. We also used this make-up on Fashion Teller’s “The Nutcracker” during The Serenade of the Swans Scene.

LYRICS:

For those who don’t know me, I can get a bit crazy.
Have to get my way 24 hours a day,
‘Cause I’m hot like that.
Everyone everywhere just gives me mad attention
Like I’m under inspection, I always get the 10s…
‘Cause I’m built like that.

I go through love like money flyin’ out their hands.
They try to change me but they realize they can’t.
And every tomorrow is a day I never planned.
If you’re gonna be the one, understand:

I can’t be tamed, I can’t be saved.
I can’t be blamed, I can’t, can’t…
I can’t be tamed, I can’t be changed.
I can’t be saved, I can’t be (can’t be)
I can’t be tamed!

If I see my reflection about my intentions…
I’ll tell ya, I’m not here to sell ya.
Or tell ya to get to hell!
I’m like a puzzle but all of my pieces are jagged.
If you can understand this, we can make some magic
I’m on like that!

I wanna fly, I wanna drive, I wanna go.

I wanna be a part of something I don’t know.
And if you try to hold me back I might explode.
Baby by now you should know:

I can’t be tamed, I can’t be saved.
I can’t be blamed, I can’t, can’t…
I can’t be tamed, I can’t be changed.
I can’t be saved, I can’t be (can’t be)
I can’t be tamed!

I’m not a trick you play, I ride a different way.
I’m not a mistake, I’m not a fake, It’s set in my DNA!
Don’t change me (x4).
(I can’t be tamed)

I wanna fly I wanna drive I wanna go
I wanna be a part of something I don’t know
And if you try to hold me back I might explode
Baby by now you should know

I can’t be tamed, I can’t be saved
I can’t be blamed, I can’t, can’t
I can’t be tamed, I can’t be changed
I can’t be saved, I can’t be (can’t be)
I can’t be tamed

FASHION & POETRY: I Know WHy A Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou Starring RicoRacer Flux

PHOTOGRAPHER: Sophy Violet.

She is an amazing photographer as well as a designer. Watch Out cuz she is going to be HUGE. Check Out her FLICKR: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sophy_violet/

FASHION: I recently modeled this outfit for PASSION Agency’s Cabaret Colore Show and I just couldn’t wait to blog it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this outfit as well as the designer…Honey Bender. She is lovely and so friendly, not to mention super talented.The outfit is called FASTER PUSSYCAT Velvet Elvis. This tangerine colored jacket is finely detailed with zippers and pockets. The form and  style adds a very masculine touch in contrast to the flower petals that just flows nicely at both shoulders. This fantastic touch adds such a couture elegance that is so unique and beautiful yet still masculine. I love how it shows the chest. =) The necklace is also part of the outfit from Faster Pussycat called Velvet Elvis Dagger Necklace. Doesn’t the Faster Pussycat  Velvet Elvis Pants in yellow combined with the Badass Belt shows a bit of a rebel side? I love the texture…kinda like Punk Glam. =)

My awesome friend Talyia Tarber had given me this makeup/tattoo layer called Garded Secret Peacock feather makeup with Gold Lipstick. I knew I had to use it with this outfit. It is a perfect combination. I love the color combination of gold and green tones which really sets off the face and outfit. The hair is a combination of Uncle Web and TSM. I love combining hairstyles. lol.

Caged Bird

By Maya Angelou

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind

and floats downstream till the current ends

and dips his wing in the orange sun rays

and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage

can seldom see through his bars of rage

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill

of things unknown but longed for still

and his tune is heard on the distant hill

for the caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze

and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees

and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn

and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill

of things unknown but longed for still.

and his tune is heard on the distant hill

for the caged bird sings of freedom.

New Male Suit at R:A:D:

There is a BRAND NEW Designer in Second Life that you must check out because of his very edgy and totally unique designs.

Redclaw Inshan, a fantastic  new designer of R:A:D: Red Alert Designs is debuting his totally awesome designs with this FIERCE new suit for men. The “Dragon” suits come in three bold colors: Red, Purple and Silver. It is totally unique and can be worn in any event that you want to be noticed. This complete outfit comes with a shirt, jacket, belt, vest and shoes. It is a daring suit that combines high fashion and adventure.

I am modeling the complete Silver Dragon Suit above. As you can see, the fit is exemplary and displays the contours of the body very well. It is a handsome suit that you can wear almost anywhere, whether a formal event or an adventurous outing. I love the flexibility of this suit. No matter where you are and for what event, you will surely turn heads.

The Red Dragon Suit I am modeling above is just fantastic. I took off the jacket so you can see the amazing vest inside. Note the sharp contrast of the colors and how it shows the body well. This is not your boring basic black suit. The textures and folds make this suit look so realistic that you can almost feel it with your hands. Check out the little details such as the intricate Asian Patterns on the Jacket, Vest and Pants. The dragon prints add a touch of adventure and mystery which makes this outfit so unique.

.

Take a closer look at the shirt and observe the great detail that is put into the texture, folds and patterns. I love the pinstripe design of the shirt with the cool buttons. I really love that dragon design as well because it adds character to the suit. It has a very masculine appeal that surely the ladies will love and make some men envious. If you want to put some edge and fierceness in your formal wear, then look no further.  Be BOLD and DARING!
