Hottest male avies hair and skins?

I don't have a whole bunch of clothes or hair, but I try to keep aware of what's available by visiting second-man.com and slmen.com and following the slurls when I like what I see, which isn't necessarily every time. There really is a wide variety of styles, depending on your intentions and means.

Personally I think Influence/Naughty does exceptional hair--somehow it's better proportioned than most others, but it is a somewhat self-conscious look. Mystikal has a pretty wide range including more subtle styles. Hairspray Island is a good place to browse a lot of designers at once.

IMHO Shai Delacroix (Casa Del Shai) does the male clothing to beat, but I'd reckon that Blaze Columbia is the best bet for a mainstream look. And there's always Little Rebel.

Skins are a major purchase in my book, and you can avoid looking like every apeman blingtard in SL by avoiding Naughty's Dante and Cake's Antonio, well done as they are. I liked the demos I tried on at Random and The Good Life, but it takes some effort to seek out the particular ones with less eyeliner rather than more.

And of course there are a lot more content creators that are just as accomplished as the ones I mentioned. It is important, though, to look past the makeup or lack thereof on the models--and it can be pretty distracting. And, you can tone down a texture by mixing in some gray or brown if it's editable. That works wonders for hair.

Girly-boy, gay...what's with the homophobe attitude? Do you think every man who uses make up is gay? Or that every gay man uses make up? Sheesh.

One can purchase a nice kilt at Musashi-do. I'm just sayin'.

Hmmm - interesting. Kilts aren't usually my style either, but I'll give it a look.

Oh, I expected just this sort of attitude to emerge much sooner.

You go your way, I go mine.

I will defend your right to wear make-up, sir (madam, or some of both). Please defend mine to find it disgusting on avatars wearing male parts and we'll all get along just fine.

I'm a girl, in SL as well as in RL. You might dislike someone wearing make-up, I don't like people with deadly tans, but you don't have to slag off something as "gay" just because you don't like it.

I've bought skins from Aitui and Nomine and love their range of male skins, for hair I love the flexi mohican range at FNKY and the range of colours is cool.

For male clothing there are a number of stores that I love to shop at that have great ranges of jeans/t-shirts etc that include Form, Sinistyle, Civvies, Desert Moon, Kyoot Army (has a really cool vodoo teddy bear belt that I wear pratically all the time), Manhunt Mall has a large selection of male clothing stores.

Sorry honey, but men with parts wearing a full boat of eye and face make-up is just plain frickin' gay in most all appearance books except yours. And yes, I am fully aware women like gay men and jump to their defense at the drop of a hat just like you seem to be doing.

I ain't slagin' at all. Let's leave it there, okay?

No. Just no.

It's nice to see all the people trying to be helpful.

I can't wait to log in and take him shopping... lol

I understand the frustration but lets face it, when a guy goes out to work he wears...pants. When he goes to a formal event he wears...nice pants. When he goes to a sporting event...well, you get the idea. A woman's wardrobe is much more varied in rl and in SL. There are outfits for dressing up, dressing down, clubbing, etc etc etc. This said, I guess the variety in shirts and such is somewhat abysmal.

@ Ajnos Debevec: I am in-world now. IM, send me a TP and take me shopping if you think you know places for men's clothes I have not visited in my 9+ months of searching and shopping and being on-line roughly 12-hrs each and every day in SL.

Let's do it!!

@ hope Antonelli: I respectfully submit the males desire the same dress-up. dress-down, clubbing, etc. etc., etc., the girls do---but in SL, those options simply don't exist. If they do, I've yet to find them.

Thank you!


And Amras, its not because "girls like gay men". It's because I'm a queer girl* and don't really like "gay" being used as some kind of catch-all term for things you don't like.



*as in "bi", not as in "weird"

I have great respect for your crusade to separate the word "gay" from sexual orientation for the same sex preferring other terms for bi-sexual or lesbian.

I respect your choice but isn't it odd? At one point, had I used the word "queer" in your context I would have been chastised to the maximum publicly here.

You know that to be true, don't you?

So you say "queer" and it's fine because you are one. I say "gay," and I am a bad, bad guy without tolerance for my fellows because I aren't one.

The truth is I have much more tolerance than most for gays, bi's and lesbians; that I object to men in make-up is my right and I ask you to respect that too.

Crusade as you must but your battle against use of the term "gay" will be many, many years in the winning---if at all.

Actually, it's because you're using the word 'gay' as if it meant something bad, or negative.

I have reviewed each and every one of my posts in this thread.

Kindly, Ann Launay, show me the negative statement I made regarding use of my term "Gay" other than to attribute the male wearing of make-up to those who are most often homosexual males.

And you have no idea you are talking to one who has supported gay rights at every turn without being gay myself, do you?

So let's drop this unfortunate off-topic thread turn with my public request to a moderator herewith that this entire thread be either locked or deleted.

I understand that you want the same variety, I think my point was mainly that all male (unless you are into kilts) outfits include pants.

For suits and dress shirts, check Blaze.

My Male Alt has a skin by Dante (called Gabriel). It might be the one mentioned in an earlier post as 'Naughty'. Not sure about that.

Naughty has two mens skins, and they are pretty much the gold standard. Dante, and Gabriel. However, they just opened up a new body shop for men called Dante.

FWIW, Amras wears a "Dante - Beach Tan" having retired a ::MAX::

Perhaps, but I think they're overrated.

But isn't that a strong negative use of it? If it's not, then what's the relevance of it?

You're stereotyping (inaccurately), but you're also putting down the idea of men wearing makeup by labelling it gay. If you don't like it, fine, but either just say that you don't like it and leave it at that, or else explain what you don't like about it without resorting to stereotypes.

As for the accuracy, I've seen more guys in makeup in the goth contingent at a single science fiction convention (or similar) than in a quarter century of being out in the gay community.

Male make-up and the way they wear it and female make-up and the way we wear it is totally different so I don't see the relevance. That's like saying clowns, mimes and actors are gay because they wear make-up.

You've said, basically, "I don't like it, it's gay," which implies that there's something wrong with that which is 'gay.' You could have said something more along the lines of, "It's a bit effeminate for my taste," which is what I assume you actually meant, and it would have been less...controversial.
