I LOVE Dura hair. I want to own everything they make, but it looks like shit on me. No matter what skins, what shape, what outfit I put on, it looks stupid as hell on me.
In protest the other day, I went bald! Normally I freak out when I loose my hair in public. I start scrambling for the first hair I can find, at least until I find the hair I want. I was bitching to Mag about it. Well, I was bitching and she was pretending to listen. I snatched my hair off and threw it half way across the yard. She checked up and commented on how hot I looked.
Is the new Drew bald?!?!? I doubt it, but I am digging this outfit I threw together to go with my new do, or lack thereof.
I bet you $500L that the first thing the guys saw was the legs, and it took them a second to figure out that I'm even in this picture.
Lapointe & Bastchild have some amazing new leather pants at S'Wear. The sugar skull details on these are awesome. Run over and check out all the new stuff L&B are putting out now. Better bring your credit cards, you'll want everything they have.

My little blog to talk about whatever the hell I feel like. Somedays it's fashion, other days it's pictures, and sometimes it doesn't even have anything constructive to say.

Cruisin....
There's nothing like getting out on the open road, wind in your hair, bugs in your teeth. I'm a bike junkie. I love the craftsmanship of a motorcycle. The rumble of the throttle between your legs. I found a new bike builder that I absolutely adore. BUR Motorcycles are quality builds at reasonable prices. I picked up the Juggernaut bike for less than $500L. It has quickly became my favorite bike. Easy handling, great look, and a even the texture is included to change the license plate and tank.
To go along with this awesome ass bike, I found a kick ass biker outfit at ::Mortality::

Ye-Haw Y'all
I feel cheated! My weekend was snatched from my grasp. RL whisked me away to the hills of west Texas this weekend. Let me tell you, that's one hell of a drive. You people in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area seriously need to get your drivers licenses from the DMV, NOT a cracker jack box.
Other than that. It was pretty cool. I haven't been out there for a couple of years. Nothing has really changed except for the location of the road construction.
With my hair still de-frizzing from all the wind, I figured I'd pull together alittle outfit to my homage to my little mini vacation.

Lest We Forget
Damn! It has been one crazy ass week. I've been preparing to go out of town all week. Mind you, I'm only going to be gone for a couple of days, but it's been about 2 years since I've been away from home more than 24 hours. I'm going to be gone, not only for Veteran's Day, but also my anniversary. EEEEKKK!!! Great timing, right?!?!
I didn't want to get out of town without paying respect to our Heroes. I am thankful for every soldier that has ever laced up their boots to serve their country. An immense gratitude goes out to you for putting your lives on the line so we don't have too. You ARE loved and appreciated.
I'm anti-mesh. Well, I'm not anti-mesh. I'm anti-"the damn mesh viewers that lag me to hell". That being said, I've been itching to buy these awesome tucked fatigue pants and boots from Deco. They look fan-freaking-tastic in the ads. They look even better one I broke down and logged in to a mesh viewer and slipped them on. I LOVE these pants and boots. I just might come around to mesh after all.

Thank you to all our service men and women and especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Also, Thank you to my beautiful wife for being so good to me and being exactly what I needed even when I didn't know what I needed. I love you! Happy anniversary.
See Y'all in a couple of days.

Sometimes, when you least expect it...
I wanted to get out and have a few beers. Not worry about anything, not bouncing across the grid looking for my next outfit to blog. I just wanted to be alone with my thoughts. I wandered into an empty pub and ordered a stout of the best local beer they had. I shuffled over to a table and placed my beer in front of me. I was lost in the trance of the crackling fire that was smouldering the fireplace. I watched as the ember glowed through various shades of red and orange. The flames licked upwards, just kissing the top bricks.
I felt something shift in the ambiance. The air itself seem to dance around a little more excitedly. My eyes drifted towards the door just in time to see her walk in. There was something electrifying in her presence. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, no matter how hard I tried. Her hips sashayed passed me after ordering her fancy Italian wine.
It was just my luck that she sat behind me. I could still feel her every movement. Her shoes clicked on the old wood floors as she slide herself into the booth. I was alone with my thoughts. There was no denying that now. They raced through my mind like the wind rustling through an open wheat field.
"Who was she? Why did she have this effect on me? What was it about this woman that took my breath right through my lips?" I was compelled to approach her. It was all I could think about. How could I approach her when I couldn't even utter a word, much less form a coherent sentence?
I looked over my shoulder and her eyes met mine. I was stunned. Her eyes were warm and inviting. It was like she was putting my mind at ease. I planted my feet firmly under me, praying that my knees wouldn't buckle under my weight. I managed to make my way to the bar and told the tender that I needed a couple of shot of his finest whiskey.
I tried to act all smooth and suave as I traced my steps back to her table. I did my best to hide the sweat starting to penetrate the skin on my palms. There was no hiding it though, this woman made me nervous. I'm not sure if it was a good nervous or a bad nervous, but I wanted to find out more about this woman.
The corners of her lips started to turn upwards as she watched me make my way to her table. I introduced myself and invited her to join me on the couch. She boldly took the shot from my hand and downed it before I could bring mine to my lips. This woman was brazen indeed. Beautiful AND brazen. Just what I look for in a woman. I followed her as she walked over to the sofa and we begin chatting. It seemed like I had known her all my life. This woman was so much more than I could have ever imagined.
She made me laugh. I knew I was going to wake up with an aching stomach tomorrow morning. We laughed until we cried. I would catch myself getting lost in her eyes. They drew me in and held me there.
After a few (what seemed like minutes) hours of laughing and talking, I asked her to dance. I had to feel her in my embrace. I wanted to know what it was like to have her soft silken skin against mine.
It was more than I could have ever imaged. Our energies flowed freely between us. It felt as though I was floating across the floor. She made everything feel so effortlessly. It was though I was watching myself from above.
As the sun started to break the horizon, I knew I had to let her go. It took all my might to let her slip from my grasp. I knew I'd be seeing her again though. I could feel it with everything I had in me. This was going to be one woman I wouldn't soon forget out.

Newb-tastic
If you follow any of the men's fashion blogs, I'm sure you've seen the Newbie Style Challenge II running full force. Two of my favorite bloggers Bouncer Criss and Steam Engineer (my man crushes), blogged their styles. I figured, I'd attempt to do the same. This should be a piece of cake for the girls, but for the guys its a giant pain in the ass. Unless, of course, you like horrid looking clothes and next to no detailed skins. I'm allergic to bad skins. I want to burn everyone I come across.
If you haven't heard about this, it's really quite simple. You have a maxium of $550L (the smallest amount of lindens you can purchase through the $L in world) to put together a good looking avi. You have to use freebies, Lucky Chairs, Hunts, or MM boards. ALL have to be current though. You're not allowed to use shit you picked up from the first MHOH.
I swear, I changed shapes/skins/clothes more than the Lindens should allow. I think I almost crashed one of the asset servers entirely on my own. I did manage to over heat my laptop, and went to take a nap before I threw it at the nearest wall.
Skin: Liam Chin Beard Tan ~ Akeruka Group Gift ($150L to join the group)
Shape: Maxium Shape ~ AM Shapes located in the MENStuff Lounge (Freebie)
Hair: Roy Black ~ Uncleweb Studios (Freebie)
Eyes: Eye Contact \green ~ ::VyC:: Located in the MENStuff Lounge (Freebie)
Shirt: Blind (Teal) ~ Phoenix Rising ($25L) *The store says they're closing, but they've been closing for well over a year now*
Pants: Risk Dress Pants (Slate) ~ Phoenix Rising ($25L)
Boots: Leather Booties Black ~ ::Gabriel:: (Freebie - Group Gift)
Necklace: Black Bead Necklace MENS ~ ::Gabriel:: (Freebie- Group Gift) *No charge to join the group*
That's right! I put it all together with $200L. GO ME!
This actually was alot of fun. I was surprised at what I was able to pull together with alittle work. I LOVE spending money and I LOVE shopping, so I hardly ever freebie shop. I'll just run out and buy it and never think twice about it. I perfer to think of it as "stimulating the SL economy and supporting our wonderful content creators".
Thank you so much GOGO for having this challenge!
Next time you run into a bad looking newbie, please take him and talk with them. They don't know where to get all these items, and never have any money. Remember what it's like to be a newbie and not know anything about SL. Think about all the people that helped you along the way, and pay that forward.
Here's to you Newbies!

Taking time...
Now that Halloween is over, its a mad dash to the end of the year. I swear, it was just like 100 degrees outside, and now it's down in the 30's at night. Guess who has two thumbs and hasn't even started thinking about Christmas......*points to self*...THIS BOI!!!!
Remember when you were a kid and the days just crawled by? Back when you counted down to every vacation, and the weekends just never seemed to get here. I don't know where that time went, but I want it back, or atleast the ability to slow down time when I choose. Now I blink and the next Holiday is upon us. It seems like I just dont have time time to get out and just explore anymore. I take that back, it's not that I dont have time, I just don't make the time. There's always something just alittle more pressing than bouncing from location to location without any major agenda in mind.
Late last night, I made the time. I didn't get to take long, but it seemes like it was enough. It reminded me of the reasons I started blogging. The love of taking pictures. I found this awesome little spot to show off an outfit I picked up from GizzA, and these amazing boots from Lapointe & Bastchild.
I rarely wear high-top boots. Most of the time I can never get them fitted correctly and I can see down the boot leg. HATE THAT!!! or I never have an outfit that matches with them. I picked up the boots from L&B a while back, but have never wore them for that simple fact. Last night I did, and they made me drool all over my keyboard.
Not my usual style, I know, but I'm totally digging it. Sometimes everything comes together just how it's suppose to and completely blows your expectations out of the water.
