Femboi 2.0

Apparently I did not post this in my blog, but sometime last year Utilizator came out with an updated version of their anime Avatar 2.0 that included three experimental bust sizes -- large, barely there, and flat.

As I've noted previously, very few designers are interested in designing anything for a flat-chested female body (femboi, or young girl).  Bare Rose is just about the only one doing it.  I've played with the Utilizator Avatar 2.0 on my other characters, but when I saw that they had a  flat-chested version of the avatar, I was intrigued.  I bought one for my femboi Kelly Eden.

The downside to this development was that there were very, very few clothing items for sale for said avatar at the time.  Utilizator had a few things, and I found one other inventor called AiTech (Artificial Incarnation Technologies) who had something I liked -- a collection of flat-chested Avatar 2.0 shirts.  I only bought the "It's a Trap!" shirt, but it was worth the money.

Now, the market for Avatar 2.0 clothing is filled with people doing texture mods for the clothing that Utilizator designs, and/or doing some very simple designs of their own.  AiTech seemed no different -- just a few shirts, all the same item with different textures.  So I would never have guessed what was to come.

Fast forward nearly a year, and I decided to check out Utilizator again.  He has more stuff designed for the flat-chested Avatar 2.0 (for all four breast sizes actually).  He also has an updated avatar that makes it much easier to use the flat-chested version or to switch between versions.

(He also has a new avatar out -- the Kenmono avatar, which is an easily-moddable furry avatar which also works with his M3 anime head system.  The body is small-chested and wide-hipped, and a lot of the secondary market modders and developers have seized on this new avatar not only to create a lot of different furry looks, but also as an anime avatar.  You can get a lot of clothing and skin mods and the like for this.  I only mention it because it seems to draw some steam from the Avatar 2.0 project -- if you want an anime avatar, you have two different ways to go now and they're not really compatible with each other.)

Anyway, after extensive searching I found more stuff for the flat-chested Avatar 2.0.  Eidelweiss had a new design that was adapted for it, and some of their older stuff is adapted for the Avatar 2.0 but without the breast sizes.  But I found one designer in particular who has been focusing on making mesh clothes for the Avatar 2.0 -- AiTech.

At first I was a bit put off by the prices -- generally 500 Linden or more per outfit.  But each of these is a complete outfit designed for all four breast sizes (including flat) and with multiple color options -- and the design work is really very good!  After picking up one I wound up buying most of what he had.  He also answered a question I had about getting part of one outfit to work properly with the HUD, so points for customer service too!

First off, the shirred bust dress -- beautiful!  I wound up buying this last because all of the pictures showed a version with breasts, and nothing in the description specifically said it came with all four breast options -- but then I found that one of the reviews from the market place said so.  It's really a lovely dress, one of his best items for the Avatar 2.0.  It comes in several pastel colors and several darker colors, but I love the lavender the best!

Next up is the bunny suit.  This one comes with a "bulge" option, for those femboi's who don't bother to tuck themselves.  Again, this comes with all four breasts options and multiple color choices, and includes the full outfit -- shoes and all.

The schoolgirl dress is another beautiful outfit with multiple colors and all chest options.  I love the high-waist skirt on this -- so unlike what was even possible in SL before mesh.

There's a Next Gen dress for Star Trek fans.  Comes with all bust options and can swap between red, blue, and gold depending on where you work on the ship.  (You can promote yourself by adding to the command buttons on the collar as well).  There's only a dress -- no pants option -- but that's fair, because both boys and girls can wear it, so there's no discrimination!  (Imagine the show where everyone on the ship wears a dress!)

This last outfit is not an AiTech outfit; it's a Utilzator schoolgirl top (which also comes with multiple color options and sizes), paired with a schoolgirl skirt from Eidelweiss (there didn't seem to be a Utilizator skirt to go with the top).  The skirt works well with the Avatar 2.0 body, but you buy each color separately, so I chose black.  The hose and shoes are also Utilizator.

All told, I'm enjoying my flat-chested Avatar 2.0 much more than when it first came out and there were only a couple of options for clothing!

Latest Adventure -- Done Wiv A Twist

I've kind of ignored this blog for over a year, so I'm surprised to see that one recent day in the last week I had as much as 73 visits.  Not sure if that means anyone is reading it or just passing through, but anyway... I didn't actually even log in to SL between July of last year and the first three months of this year, but in the last two weeks I've been having fun with my femboi Kelly Eden again.  If nothing else, in the last half year or so Bare Rose has massively expanded their line of flat-chested outfits.

I have a kind of love-hate relationship with Bare Rose.  On the one hand, their stuff is fantastically imaginative and extremely well-priced.  If you're looking for anything fantasy-related, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.  It's hard to wander their store and not find something you want to buy, and most of their outfits come with multiple options.  On the other hand, their outfits are usually a one-size-fits-most and a one-concept-fits-most sort of thing.  The Goldline and Black Lady schoolgirl outfits, for example, come in one size that is kind of oversized in order to fit all comers (being a full-body mesh outfit except for the legs, this pretty much works).  The pieces fit together well but aren't designed for any mix and matching with other outfit pieces.  And that's kind of a rule when it comes to mesh anyway, but extremely true of Bare Rose outfits.

But virtually nobody else makes mesh for a flat chest, so I'm really happy with them right now!  And if it's all schoolgirls and magical girls and steampunk and gods and angels, it's still something nobody else has!  I even visited a couple of specialty stores that supposedly catered to fembois... and they also almost entirely adhered to the standard XL/L/M/S/XS sizing with breasts visible in all options.  WTH?  If you're going to specialize, then specialize.

Anyway!  I bought a lot of new outfits and animations over the last few weeks.  Today I visited a place called Done Wiv A Twist.  This is not exactly a secret place -- I'm too out of the loop to find hidden gems, I just go to the Second Life Destination Guide and pick places that look interesting to visit and take pictures.  But this place is especially cool, and apparently they change it seasonally.

So here's some new photos:

This is one of the aforementioned magical girl/schoolgirl Bare Rose outfits (called Flat Pastel Fuyufuku).  They've done a bunch of stuff that is pastel-colored like this, and I can't help but think that these outfits would appeal to any extra-girly femboi.

This is another, less specialized outfit from Bare Rose -- Flat Kanna.  This photo is actually from another location, a sort of post-apocalyptic site called Hazardous.

Mix and match hiking outfit -- the top is Addams Western Shirt for Women, which presents a reasonably flat appearance.  The shorts are from Tokyo Girl.  Socks ShuShu Trend Step Up Stockings, boots are Munique Ugg Boots Grey.

The piano at Done Wiv A Twist is pretty nifty.  ^_^

This is a Tokyo Girl skin and hair by the way -- Hestia skin (this is not a skin with a femboi option btw) and Panpan hair.

Definitely a very photogenic place!

Few More Items

Leri Miles Designs [LMD] Neil Mesh Shirt in Pink with the LMD Layered Skirt in Denim Pink.  This shirt works moderately well for a small breast/flat chest look.

Same top paired with  the LMD Carly Shorts in Pink.

This top is The Secret Store -- Lua's Cropped shirt.  It works for a small-breasted look, hard to imagine my Kelly boi has a flat chest with this on though, but I bought it anyway.

Now this top from LMD works really well for a flat chest / bare chest.  This is their Embroidered Denim Wildlife shirt in black with a dragon design on the back.

Another look at the Boom courderoy pants that I love.  I bought another color pack yesterday.

Some More Photos

New pieces here are cord pants from Boom which I love, they come in a huge range of colors and their mini-packs are five different colors for 500 Linden.  I bought one but I really want to buy a second.  Then there's the flower shorts from SLC and at the end the Mick Mouse sweatshirt from BarmaleY, along with pink socks from Boom.

Locations from the top:  Capella, I forget the name of the store there but I'd been there before and it's quite spooky; Crux Island, with a glow-in-the-dark fairy landscape, and last is Babbage Square.

Pretty In Pink -- Sheer Blouse

I liked the sheer chiffon floral blouse from GizzA so much that today my project was to track down a few more sheer blouses.  One of the benefits of me doing this is that most such blouses are going to be non-mesh -- doing a sheer blouse with mesh is a difficult trick to pull off, since the mesh item really doesn't rest against your avatar's body, but creates a body shape itself, which is why you usually need an alpha layer to hide the parts of your body  that stick through.  But an alpha layer means there's nothing to see underneath if you make it  transparent -- the only mesh outfits I've seen that attempt this are small items that mostly cover the chest, because they have to float above the skin everywhere.  (The shirts that Edelweiss sells for their schoolgirl line have a bra peeking through built into the shirt's texture, which is another way to create the illusion of a semi-transparent shirt.)  Anyway non-mesh means a flat chest for my boi so that works for me.

I was really looking for a good office blouse/shirt like the ones that Edelweiss sells, and I found several nice sheer shirts and chiffon blouses, some of which qualify as office blouses I guess, and a couple of flowery flounce skirts as well. I also tracked down a few more stocking options from freebies on the market.

I decided to label this my pretty in pink line because all of these outfits use either the pink skirt above from SLC or a black version with pink flowers of the same design.  Above we have the slightly-sheer Intrigue Blouse in pink from Sassy!

Here is the SLC Chiffon Blouse in lilac, which bears an incanny resemblance to the GizzA floral blouse (probably for a good reason?)  Several of these blouses came with a bra clothing layer to use beneath the sheer outfit -- a lot of them, like this one, were quite sheer.  I liked the bra from the DEW outfit best, that's what I'm using in all of the photos.

Night'n'Day Shee Sheer in gray, with the black flower skirt and some gray freebie stockings.  (Or maybe they were from the 45L pack.)

Isis Shirt from Zara.

Poppy Sheer Chiffon Blouse in black from Pink.

This is the Sissy White Shirt from DEW that the bra I used came with.  Strangely enough it almost works better with some of the other tops than the one it was designed for.

The sheer chiffon floral blouse from GizzA.  Note the resemblance to the SLC Chiffon Blouse.

I also picked up this top in blue from SLC.  But I was frustrated that both this and the blouse above it weren't in their in-game store anywhere, I had to order both off the marketplace.  Which is not so bad for the sheer blouse, but the spaghetti strap chiffon blouse here in blue is a mesh item, and the market warned me to try the demo first, but they don't sell the demo on the market and you apparently can't get it in-game either.  But this top closely resembles the Colly tops that I love from Danielle, which I would guess is also not really a mistake.  But I had an idea it would work because the Danielle ones did, and I was pretty much right.  Paired here with a panel skirt in white from Color Me H.O.F. and freebie lace stockings from PB Plausible Body (market).

More Femboi Outfits... Yay

So as usual I get obsessed about things, and this last week it's been my new femboi alt in Second Life.  I've spent money, I've tried to find clothing and assemble outfits that present a flat-chested girly look, and if nothing else I've entertained myself.  Here's the rest of what I've managed on my spending and outfit-assembling spree:

The last of my pictures in Neva.  I may have posted this outfit alread, a Colly top from Danielle with the sexy silk pants I got from 2Chez in MIA Island.

The rest of these pictures were taken in Da Vinci Gardens, Kalepa, which is a very old sim in Second Life but still one of my favorite places to explore.  I only got propositioned once during this photo shoot too:

Random Guy:  hi
Me:  hello
Random Guy:  that's a nice outfit
Me:  thanks
Random Guy:  want to have some fun?

I'm leaving out the random misspellings of course.  I didn't reply to him after that, and as it happened I crashed out anyway.  Second Life was having inventory issues all day, they were "doing maintinance" but it made it very hard to assemble my outfits and do the photos.

I bought several "system" or non-mesh tops late Saturday or early Sunday, all of which work perfectly for a flat-chested look since they have no boob shading and are just a painted layer against your body, rather than mesh which can stick out.  This cami tank top is a Lollia Tank Top from {mon tissu}, and is proof that people still do really nicely designed non-mesh clothing, I just have to know where to look for it.  I paired it with a bunch of outfits as you can see.  The top outfit includes a pink "Meshy Mini Skirt" from AIK (Am I Kawaii?), with white pantyhose from SHOP Toshy and Sneja boots from Mutresse, which are color-changing boots that I love that I already have on Mint.  The mesh pink cotton pants in the middle picture come from {mon tissu} as well, they make very nice stuff and I like these girly pants a lot.  I have the same white pantyhose and black Mary Jane flats that I picked up on the market from Duh! (they sell for 35 Linden each or a box set of five colors for something like 125 Linden, I got the set and it was a very good deal -- I also bought a pair of Mary Janes from Robin Sojurner's Kick The Can, because I've always remembered that she does very good work and very nice kid's Mary Janes -- but they're a good deal more expensive.)

The bottom outfit is a black flower skirt from SUGAR, which has a separate belt that I used with the pink pants in the previous picture as well.  I like SUGAR's stuff quite a bit too -- that reminds me, there's an outfit with leopard pants from SUGAR that I haven't taken a picture of yet, maybe I can  sneak it in at the end of this post.

The other time I got propositioned this week was a little stranger.  I was wandering through the freebie stores at Yasum's Gift Town, and one of them had a guy and a girl making out.  I walked in and looked at what was there anyway because I wanted to check out everything.  The guy sent me a tell saying hi, and I said hello back.  Later after I returned home, he sent me another tell asking me if I wanted him to show me his island sometime.  I would guess that's a good pickup line for Second Life, "Let me show you around my island!"  But basically he's in the middle of banging one girl, and he's checking out any other girl he sees while he's doing it....

I half think I should just take these guys up on things and see if they'll bang a girly boy like the one I'm playing.  It could be fun, but I guess to do it right I'd need to find a nice mesh shlong attachment first.  But eh, these kind of SL guys will probably bang anything that looks female.

That aside, here's an Ombre Frock Dress that I found at {mon tissu} as well (I did say they had good stuff, and amazingly I didn't even pick up the blouse that I went there for, something Mint has already which also is non-mesh and would work for some of my looks.  I may go back to get it later.)

This is mesh but because of how it hangs it's not too obviously that it's not built for someone with no breasts.  As you can see I also wore the tank cami from the same store beneath it, I think that helps disguise the fact that there's a small gap between my chest and the front of the dress a little better, and it doesn't look bad at all.

I found this great mesh sweater at GizzA, "Let Loose Sweater" in black.  This is another of those "small breast" outfits that work just well enough that I'm happy with it for my doesn't-really-have-breasts toy boi.  It looks great, you can see I paired it with several outfits.  From top to bottom:  pink skirt from AIK again (with stretch leather boots in black from COCO), a pink flower skirt from SUGAR that I love (same skirt type as the black flower design one pictured earlier); a pink punk plaid skirt from Mesh Heads, paired with a punky boots from Yasum's freebies and freebie socks from Mother Goose; and the bottom picture includes a nice blue tartan skirt from Edelweiss's schoolgirl outfit line.

This is the top that led me to GizzA in the first place, a really nice non-mesh top, Chiffon Shirt in Floral Pink (the puff sleeves and ruffles are sculpts with resize scripts).  This is a partially transparent outfit, which wasn't completely obvious since there's so little to see on my flat male chest, but then I remembered that one of the outfits I bought at 2Chez included a basic white bra top designed to be seen through another see-through top.  It fits this outfit perfectly!

Here are two outfits using a flower cami top from a set I bought at the Alanis store on MIA Island.  These are non-mesh too.  The top is paired with non-mesh jeans I got on the market for free or $1 I forget, and my fur-lined vest from dollie.  The bottom includes the red version of the sexy silk pants from the 2Chez store.  I don't really like that outfit combo, but I was trying to throw together an outfit to show off the red pants.  I need to work on a better outfit I think.  But the jeans one above it, that works really well.

I tried really hard to find some outfits that used the Alanis Corrina non-mesh flower camisole tank tops.  I liked them quite a bit, but had a hard time finding things to pair them with.  This outfit pairs the yellow top with my yellow skirt from K-Code and the dollie white fur-lined vest, but I don't know that I like it that much.

When I went to Mutresse to get the color-changing boots I wound up buying this pants and coat combo, Simona jacket and trousers in red.  It's mesh, and works perfectly with a flat chest look.  The first picture includes the {mon tissu} cami tank top, and the bottom includes one of the non-mesh shirts that I got for free at COCO.  Looks pretty good!

Finally as promised here's the leopard-print (Snow Leopard) belted skinny pants from SUGAR that I like quite a lot, although I don't really like this outfit.  The top portion is an old non-mesh top from Pixeldolls in purple, with my purple fur-lined vest from dollie -- those two things go well together and need to be in an outfit, maybe paired with basic jeans, while the leopard pants need to be in a separate outfit of some kind.
