Bone Mosten - Sexiest Male Avatar 2008
Hip, hip, hooray! Bone Mosten overwhelmingly won the Sexiest Male SL Avatar of 2008 as voted by the community on the New World Notes Blog and organized by Iris Ophelia.
I'm very pleased for two reasons - the first and least because Boner is a friend of mine, the second and most important is because Bone is one of the funniest and nicest and most talented folks you'll ever meet in SL. The fact that he came into SL and created a non-stereotypical avatar, and infused much of his own taste and personality into creating his persona, and has the sense of humor and intact ego that he can play games with his appearance and not feel threatened in the least by it, is much of what makes him, in my mind anyway, an awesome addition to the world.
WTG Bone!
The Lush ballgown is eyecatching with its combination of purple and crimson (450L$). The Cardinal (600L$) is covered all over in a feathery texture - the deep reds are eye-popping.
The famous Alt sisters - I mean Lu sisters - tend to design toward the elegant, and these ball gowns are just over the top. The Gilded Peach (350L$) is a classic with sequins and a side skirt. The Magpie (600L$) is a beautifully understated draped black and white gown with multiple flexi skirts and a long train. The waist is banded with sculpted draped fabric and the bodice is intertwined black and white textured fabric. Luscious! The texture on the Sequin Finch gown (300L$) is so deep and rich as to be mesmerizing. Lovely blues and golds adorn the high waisted skirt, and poofy sleeves and a sparkly brooch keep it in place.
For all the work that goes into the Paper Couture collections, their prices are very reasonable, expecially compared with some of the lesser quality stuff that's out there. I make it a point to visit regularly, and I usually get several items. They've branched off into purses and jewelry and shoes and eyeglasses as well, so you can accessorize your outfits as needed. This visit, they got me for three outfits. They remove all their old items with each new collection, so get them while you can. Some of my most highly complimented outfits come from Paper Couture - even the ones that are rapidly approaching "vintage" status.
