When Anya Ohmai is a famous RL artist (if she’s not already), we can say that she was famous in SL first! These lil’ fairies are so delicate and artistic. I wish you guys could see how their wings flutter, when I have time I will do a quick video, maybe?
My fairy entourage only has one boy, cos he’s the luckiest boy in SL.

Original mesh is defined as any mesh that was originated SOLELY for one brand’s use and will never be used in another store, whether it was made by the store owner, or by someone else for the store owner.
Hello from Palia! I’ve been playing this game for 5 days now, and I’ve made a lot of progress. I’m not a gamer outside of Second Life, yet I found this MMO very easy to play. I’ve found that I really like to hunt and mine, so I’ve leveled up my tools and just run around doing those two tasks more than the other tasks. I’ve managed to build a decent home and amassed some gold as well.
With the gold you earn, you can go to the stores and buy furniture, recipes to build/make things, upgrade your house, etc.
It’s BoyCake, back with another review! Hello, lay-deez. ;D
Are you ready for the new male mesh body from SLink? Well, it’s here! As some of you may know, I’ve been searching high and low for a good mesh body for my boy av, and now it looks like I finally have it. Or have I?
Before I start off, I want to give a shoutout to both my close friends who tried this on with me, as well as the Convergence City roleplay group for discussing this with me in their out-of-character chat area. Their thoughts definitely influenced what I’m writing now! I always like to get other people’s opinions and have discussions about things before I give a final verdict.
What did I compare this to in considering the SLink Male Physique for purchase? Mainly, the TMP male body and the Aesthetic by Niramyth. For reference, I snagged the TMP body to try on after my awful experience with the Jomo male body, which turned out to be a suspected rip. I have two male friends who own the Aesthetic, one who came with me to SLink’s store to examine the demo.
Now, one to the review!
Essentials
The SLink Physique Male comes with a mesh body (no hands or feet) for 1250L. If you don’t have feet and hands already, take about 2400L to the store with you so you can pick up everything at once. The mesh body will include underwear, one pair of jeans, and one tank top. If you don’t like the basic skins you start off with for your mesh body, there are neck blenders provided to help with skin-matching.
Technical/Observations
The Physique Male includes a penis. Yes, really! There’s even a foreskin option and pubic hair. The penis doesn’t seem to be able to get erect; I believe it’s there for completion purposes, sort of like most vaginas on skins and mesh bodies are. At first I was weirded out by an SL peen that doesn’t do anything, but after a while, I got used to it.
Your body will seem a little lean when you try it on, but it can bulk up nicely if you edit your shape. Will it get as muscular as the Aesthetic? I’ll talk about that in a moment.
For script maniacs like me, you’ll be happy to know that with the male body, hands, my AO, and the alpha/clothing hud attached, I was only running 32 scripts. That’s awesome. Everyone in SL should always try to wear low-script items so they end up under a total count of 50 for their avatar. It not only improves your SL experience, but helps to decrease sim lag.
Room For Improvement?
This picture has been brightened because my windlight was super dark when I took the pic. I’m dumb. SRY
I, for one, am not crazy about the clothing/alpha HUD design. I know it’s a lot to include to the clothing hud, and Siddean must have realized this because she created two size versions of the HUD (small and large) for those who have trouble seeing everything. But it took me a moment of wtf’ing to understand just what button did what. Afterwards, I figured things out. I just wish the UI were a bit more friendly.
I don’t know about you, but I like my men with some thigh. When I increased BoyCake’s thighs, I noticed some poses caused the underwear to clip (see pic above). I tried to find the correct button to HIDE his thighs in that area, but that took another ten minutes and then I gave up. My point–if you create underwear or clothing for the mesh body, I would include an auto-hide script for it. Kemono has that and so does Maitreya.
Is This The One?
Is Physique Male for you? That’s what you want to know, right? It’s been a long search for that one mesh body you can finally wear, won’t clip your damn clothing, won’t do this or that or make you unhappy or sorry you ever bought it. When I asked my friends about the Physique versus the Aesthetic, we both admitted we liked Aesthetic’s muscly body more, but only on certain avatars. Not everyone looks good with that much bulk, and not everyone looks good with TMP’s skinnier mesh body either.
Physique Male is that sort of happy medium between TMP and Aesthetic. You don’t spend too much for what you get, and you end up getting a lot. For me, that means it’s a body I’m sticking with! For good, hopefully.
Notice: if you create products geared towards men and want me to review it, please send an NC/pack/etc to Aemeth Resident. I can’t make a promise that I’ll review everything, but I understand the struggle of finding men’s products out there so it’s worth helping out!
Happy Galentine’s Day! Juicy and I went to the Valentine’s Shop & Hop and got ourselves new outfits, courtesy of Addams! Addams is giving away a $500L gift credit, which is exactly enough for this outfit. Check out all of the rest of the merchants, I hear there are lots of gifts and store credits at this event.
SLDD was crazy this morning. I’ve only bought two SLDD items ever, one was a pose set from ages ago, and this new Chalice hair from Truth. If you were one of oh.. 500? or more? to snag this hair fatpack at $450, LUCKY YOU!! It was worth the lag.
The new Winter Collection from Belgravia, by Jin Elfan of Leverocci, is so luxurious and gorgeous! I’m so impressed by how this brand has progressed in just one year’s time. My first post about Leverocci was over a year ago, when it was still a small shop on a mainland parcel. Now the brand is on its own sim, and has a lil’ bit of everything.
My outfit today is inspired by Winter. I am wearing the Belgravia Suede VCoat in Snow, and pairing it with Foxglove Boots also in Snow. I wanted a bit of contrast to the outfit, so I layered some Gray clothing items underneath, and added a festive Bizarre flower headpiece from LaGyo to give it some color punch.
Wow, these little fairies are so beautifully made! You look lovely, loving the head piece.
