More Sig in FreeLife Magazine


It's the birthday edition of FreeLife magazine; the 25th issue is now out and has an article on Wavie Haller's Valiant clothing store. It's in PDF format so you can download and print it for easy reading, or simply read it onscreen if that works for you.

Next issue should include a much-anticipated interview with Ben Vanguard of SLmen fame. This will probably be in two-three weeks so keep an eye open - I'll flag it in this blog.

More Siggy in the Metaverse Tribune

There's a review of Ben Vanguard's Slmen blog site, a location I highly recommend to anyone interested in men's style and fashion, in the Metaverse Tribune. It's a great place to get ideas of what to buy and where to find it. You may not always agree with the assessments of the clothing there but you're damn sure to find a store that caters for your needs and preferences.

Sale @ Simone!

On Saturday, Simone Stern offered all her clothing for no more than L$200. With such bargain prices, it was too tempting an offer to turn down, so late in the evening, I headed for the Simone! store to see what I could find.

First up was a dark blue deep-plunge open-fronted shirt called the "Don Juan." Mony spotted it and said "buy that," so I did. Here you see it with my Muism pants and gift from Ben Vanguard - the dog tags.



My SL sister, Merry Felwitch, arrived with a giant pumpkin on her head, which was all the excuse Mony needed to don her cardboard box head. Fortunately, they left me in the men's section to go check out women's stuff. I believe Merry spent L$2000 - like Mony, she also seems to believe that God sends people to hell who have small inventories.

I found a summer suit designed by my friend Lissa Maertens. It's a pale-blue pinstripe that includes a shirt, ties, and even prim ties that flap around when you walk. It's the closest I have found to a seersucker suit and for L$200 I couldn't resist.



The suit also looks OK with a less formal open-necked shirt or T-shirt. I'm wearing it with my Redgrave black shoes but a pair of white shoes might work. Guess I have to go shopping. Again.
