Androgynous Fun -- Featuring Tresor and Dot-Be Fashion

I used to style some of the men's clothing included in sample packs or hunt packs and things like this. Over time and because of time constraints, I got away from doing so. Last year, the 2012/2013 season, androgyny was part of the fashion movement.

But like most things in fashion, it comes and goes as the 'it' look. As with most fashion, a few people hold on to each detail that comes along and nothing ever goes completely out of style as a result. I like it when I see women in something traditionally designed for men...

I like seeing the reverse as well. I imagine all types of men have used women's attire at some time or another for all sorts of reasons, whether it was a practical joke, a fetish, or simply part of their personality. For me, someone who wears garments that are traditionally female...

Can look super hawt when they pair the feminine look with their own masculinity. An example might be the way Mel Gibson looked in the movie Braveheart some many years ago. (If you're too young to know this movie, go and rent it. It's THAT good, and timeless.)

Others may really appreciate a dandy way of dressing for men. The song Yankee Doodle Dandy actually pays homage to this style of dress, because at the time, it was not uncommon at all for men to have as much invested in their attire as the women, and very popular they were too.

I think it's wonderful that Second Life gives all of us the freedom to explore many facets of ourselves, our interests, our personal sense of style, but more so, our personal sense of who we are and in a place that likely pressures less than the world off line would press if making the same choices there.

I'm thankful for the brilliant options, the freedom of expression, the many ways sexuality can be shared, expressed and enjoyed via Second Life. I'm glad there are designers from all over the world sharing their curiosities, skills, diversity and open minded ways.

Whether I'm in a tuxedo by Tresor, which I found in a gift box at the Charleston Ball Room, or wearing the brilliant sleeveless sweater dress Linde from Dot-Be Fashion, I find my niche easily in this Second Life. I can mix and match lifestyle choices as easily as I can mix and match clothing. That's priceless.
