Boys of Summer

I'm a child of the 80s and 90s - the time when Guns and Roses ruled the earth, Aerosmith showed us how to Walk this Way and giant hair, bare chests and tight pants were the measure of masculinity. I was glad to find these items at the Boys of Summer shopping event amongst all the bermuda shorts, tanktops and tattoos. Notable creators for men like Aitui, Razor, Legal Insanity, Damselfly and Eltham have a presence at the event. I discovered a few names, unfamiliar to myself like Bade - with more options for men's hair. I rediscovered Goth 1c0 - an old favourite, which I had forgotten about when mesh became the rage in SL and was glad to see the brand was now made with mesh.

And of course, for the gacha mad amongst you.... there is Gacha!

Shroomin Gacha

There was a time in SL that searching for anything bohemian was a drag. It just didn't exist, at least anything of real quality. Now between events like Uber and Shiny Shabby one can start to build the bohemian paradise they have always wanted to escape to. Until recently, there was something missing in the equation, something that any true hippie, who knows why all of those groovy patterns and colors are so appealing, might still be itching for...psychedelics and the pot to ease you in and out of your trip. 

Thanks to the new Zaara collection at the Arcade, your bohemian dream is complete. Settle down in your beach shack now and spark up. Second Life gacha has the Kind.
