New Header for Summer 2016

Bock in SecondLife's art-director, Tomais Ashdene, has created a new awesome header for the summer season of 2016.

Tomais also suggested I change the background, which I was rather hesitant to do at first because it always screws up something else. When we had tried out a few - that buggered up the blog - we finally found this transparent background with a sort of paisley pattern. I like it alot.

The Flat Bock 2016 is Here!

The new and improved "Flat Bock 2016" was released yesterday at Gay Archipelagos Summerfest. This years edition of the "Flat Bock" comes with both a front and a back! It is also slightly larger than SL Bock because, as the production manager and designer Tomais Ashdene said lovingly and with a tad of sarcasm, "Face it Bock, you are larger than life!"

LGBT Superheroes

(via J.M.G.)

Clip description
Iceman, Mystique, Catwoman & many others are LGBT in the comic books but appear as straight on screen.

It's time all superheroes were accurately portrayed. 

➵ Share the trailer: http://bit.ly/sharesuperheroes ➵ Tweet the trailer: http://bit.ly/tweetsuperheroes

So we imagined a story where LGBT characters could be accurately portrayed.

Tell the studios to stick to the script.

Secret message to Tomais, should we perhaps drop our search for the perfect male mesh head temporarily to set up the Bock in SecondLife thing-a-magee...?
