Neko style revamped
This is more styled neko image. In my searches over the grid I am finding out a permanent revamping of the old neko grunge looks. I said it before, I don’t understand why neko outfits look grungy, or too emo even, I don’t understand the desire to look dirty, or beaten or with scars all over body. I think the grungy neko look is a result of a bad understanding of what neko style really means. I know Thalia will hate me over cute and cuddly, but but for whoever owned or owns a kitty you will see in the 1st second the clean and very relexed overall lifestyle. But to get “mainstream neko” you take the neko clean style out of what a cute neko should look like, you toss it in couple of years of role playing add some emo elements and you are finding out that neko has gone long way from what maybe it was supposed to be.
And I am sure this is not the result of an overwhelming creativity inside the mind of neko outfits creators. I am sure that, like all other elements inside the meta verse we are living in they are people who tend to bring grungy, scary, dirty looks outside of their minds inside this SL meta verse. I found out over my SL experiences that you cannot stop the wearing. You cannot stop people minds from thinking that some SL elements should go up in age, should deteriorate, should rust and crumble. Is this from the urge to bring up to life a world described at best by Philip K. Dick an entire fake reality with constructions crumbling away.
Otherwise why should we be fans of a fashion style which hit 1st life mainstream fashion 16 years ago. 1992 was the all grunge year. Ok, we might say that the music influenced fashion over those times. But I am asking you: are we that old, are we that stuck in some teen feelings over bands like Nirvana and plaid, flannel shirts, stonewashed blue jeans, and dark colors?
Anyway, I might get some replies that grunge wasn’t about fashion at all, but more like a anti-fashion movement. But I am telling you, you are not right since Marc Jacobs created a grunge collection for Perry Ellis more than 10 years ago.
Without further deep thoughts I am giving you a styled, in my opinion, almost neko look. I have a special feeling for the ring I am wearing, made by a fellow blogger who turned out to be a good jewelry designer, Ryker Beck. Also I want your attention to the piercings I am wearing. The piercings are one of the best looking available, made by a talented and a very special over an year old friend or so Reann Frost and her Puncture store.

Iustinian… would you perhaps be willing to let me use one of your photos on my blog, for an upcoming “how to” story (with all appropriate photo credits of course)…? I am looking for a vertical-oriented photo of a guy’s Neko fashion outfit; I love that your interpretation of Neko is so much more well-dressed than most. Hope to hear back from you… thank you!! – Stacia Villota
