Avatars With Style: Hikaru Enimo

If you know anything about male fashion/blogging/fashion-photography, you must have heard the name, Hikaru Enimo.  If you have not, you have been missing out.  I started following Hika’s career a while ago, but only recently had a chance to meet him in person.  I met him at the great place he shares with the one [...]

Meet SL Photographer: Thati Boucher

The very first time I heard about Thati Boucher was some time ago, when I saw a photograph of the one and only Caoimhe Lionheart whom I recently interviewed as well.

Meet Stylish Avatars: Caoimhe Lionheart

I remember, a couple of years ago, late one night while I was flipping through Flickr, on Skip Staheli’s stream I noticed one of his great pieces and the sweet-face model in it. A few days after that, I noticed the same model someplace else – could have been a magazine’s ad, or a photographer’s [...]

Leda’s Locker: Pleasantly Unexpected

I love finding these unexpected spots, where you walk into a store and like the very first thing you see. Then you see the next thing you like, and the third one has you go back to the entrance, look at the sign again, and wonder “why have I not been here before??” Right at [...]

Leda’s Locker: Ahhh, Weekend!
