It might be a running joke now that I begin my blogs with an apology… so here we go again; sorry it’s later than I planned, life decided to get in the way. I won’t get into it here though you’ve all heard me moaning about it enough. Anyhow before I get carried away with myself I best not assume you know what FSG and everything is so if this is all new to you please check out my previous blog entries about Femboy Style Guide, our Fashion Show, and our friend’s (The Blacklist Crew) awesome community family sim at the Blacklist Bunker:

So Femboy Style Guide news!! We have our own Discord server now so if you haven’t joined it already here’s the link:
https://discord.gg/gGCkkU6Ccc
Over the last few weeks we’ve built up a really friendly community there plus we have a Second Life Shopping Index (ever growing) for all your fashion needs. You’ll find members sharing all sorts of info too from in world fairs, marketplace sales, memes, music, and some naughty pics.
FSG is also having in world meet ups (2 so far). We’ve been rotating venues with the first one taking place at Mady’s Playground:
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Burning%20Desire%20Island/31/196/2753
And the second at our FSG Beach location:
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Burning%20Desire%20Island/28/145/28
Both were super fun events and the turn out really blew us away so we’re hoping to keep it as a monthly tradition with a new location planned for next time (more about that later). Here’s some pics from the very first one though taken by Daxia 🙂 :
OK Blog topic time!! Second Life femboy clothing (I’m going to define that as flat chest and bulge clothing options today) is a tricky thing for many of us. Depending which body/chest combo we choose there are always a limited number of options depending on creator’s time restrictions and how many different bodies they can rig for so I thought it would be nice to highlight a few different stores, what they make for femboys, and what they could possibly do in the future. I don’t want it to be all my own words though so FSG community members have volunteered their time to take some awesome pictures, list the outfits they put together, and add their comments. We’re focusing on some of the most well known stores (and maybe a couple less well known) so if you like the topic of this blog let me know please and we’ll cover more stores in the future.
Anyhow shall we see what our volunteers came up with…
First up is zєℓєηý whose chosen store(s) was V-tech/Valentine which many consider the OG mesh flatchest option.
Tattoo: Sanity from KAOS Tattoo
Hair: Hydie from Doe
Body Stars 2.0 by !13ACT
Knee Pads by DIZZY
Hazel Socks by Pink Cream Pie
Elbow Pads by L’Emporio & PL
Glitter Roller Skates by Spoiled
Aerial Shorts by V-tech
Dalian Top & Jacket by Valentine (top hidden in hud)
Comments by zєℓєηý:
“An outfit inspired by my youth when I would go roller blading; an appreciation for the style and enjoyment with some pride flare mixed in I guess. It’s safe to say I’m Rolling around at the speed of sound; got places to go and gotta follow my rainbow.”
“I really love the styles and options they have for clothes and lingerie. If I am to be honest I wish V-Tech had more clothing items available in the theme of punky or alt fashion of Valentine. I am just happy to see everything they do is all is such high quality plus just great to look at and wear. I usually never know what I’m looking for whenever I go to Valentine but I always find something I like.”

Next up is Diavkha with Pixicat going full team goth!
Hair: Lamb – Pop
Dress: Pixicat – Ines
Stockings: Reign – Spooky Stockings
Hat: MW Boa – Women’s Floppy Summer Hat
Cat: Fawny – Coven Cat (Rare Gacha)
Gloves: Happy Undead – Mavis Dress
Rings: Yummy – True Rebel
Nails: Suicide Unborn – Minerva Nails
Comments by Diavkha:
“What I like about Pixicat is their consistency in terms of item quality and texture choices which allows for the mix and match options of their clothes to create different outfits. I’m especially happy with their Maitreya Flat releases as it increases the clothing options for femboys plus their options allow for a variety of styles to be created.
My hope is that they continue to release for Maitreya Flat not just in dresses and tops but also other outfits as well.”

SEKA’s “WAIFU” Choker

MAZE.mods – Soft Thighs (both) (eBody Reborn)
Daxia’s thoughts about Seka:
“Seka is a great store if you are going for the punkish and cyber type of outfits. When I make such an outfit it’s my go-to. I really love how Seka create their items; how they look and feel. Seka clothing has such a neat edge to it; really unique. The textures are different and because of that it is a bit harder to combine items from other stores to an outfit but that not issue for me. It’s because of that different colour palette you become a bit more unique! I really hope Seka will add at least one bulge kind of item to the store; just undies would be great and that would tie everything completely together for me. For some items Seka supports Maitreya Flatchest which is great and they’ve recently added Reborn so that’s another tick off my wishlist.”

Dal’s thoughts about Mug clothing:
“Femboy doesn’t have a single meaning. Think of them like a rainbow. Just like the colours which make up rainbow there are various different types of femboys and in order to accommodate such a diverse cast you need a clothing line that’s just as diverse and I believe Mug fills that niche. Mug provides an excellent baseline in which to build an outfit around; you can easily mix and match various outfits to create a look which suits you. Another plus is Mug makes more neutral clothing, meaning it’s not too feminine or masculine. I find myself using the Avery jeans or Dani shorts in plenty of outfits which lean either way.
Mug also allows you to use their clothing on different bodies using their included HUD for some of the most popular bodies on the market. So you aren’t just confined to V-tech. I’d like to see more colours (especially yellow) and perhaps more options when it comes to shorts. A good pair of shorts with a bulge option is hard to fine and I think Mug gets the bulge shape just right.”

“For “It’s Not A Moon” this is where “Sweet Tart” came in and there’s really many ways to go about tackling some of the cute items they have. When I wondered how to approach things the answer was ultimately yes to combining, mixing, and matching. This photo features shorts from their “Keira” set, bra and belt from their “Ari” set plus their “AK Hip Flask”, “Tart Phone Armband”, and “Gena Garter Bag”. Until I found myself at the base camp with a rifle in hand, ready to squash misconceptions and break the bones of those small minds who can’t see how being a femboi is really the way forward.”
Steph’s thoughts about Sweet Tart and In Your Face:
“I think there is a dire need to at least test out the viability of supporting other flat chest mods such as Maitreya flat even it means sacrificing supporting a body or two that may no longer be as popular as it once used to be. With luck this will further the aspect of inclusivity even more.
Future product line-ups maybe including more things like corsets or more simple items such as pants and knee-length skirts which include a bulge; Sweet Tart does have at least one offering of a corset and some pants that offer them which I have covered on my personal flickr.”

“This shoot is rather “Fascinating” and the first piece to show off is the sexy “Raven Dress” with the spider-webs over the pecks. Although available in a bit of cloth one has to admire the sexiness of latex in the light of the night as well as candles.”
Here’s the outfit info for Steph’s second Big Beautiful Doll Inspired Ensemble:
Body: Maitreya Lara 5.2 (with Flat Chest addon)
Head: Ora 3.1 | Lelutka
Head Skin: Jeanne (Peach) | The Skinnery
Eyes: Influencer | Avi-glam
Eyelashes: Numb Eyelashes | +Aran+
Septum Piercing: Septum 01 RARE | Kunst
Lip Piercing: Lip Piercing Set 01 | Conviction
Face Imperfections: Blemishes | Izzie’s
Body skin: Peach w/ Maitreya Flat M Addon | The Skinnery
Imperfections: Body Veins and Cellulite | Izzie’s
Eyebrows: Aneira | Suicidal Unborn
Hair: Charm | Foxy
Eyeliner: Numb Eyeliner | +Aran+
Upper Body Tattoo: Hamsa TaTToo | Carol G
Lingerie: RILEY Lingerie | Big Beautiful Doll
Nails: Bahari Nails | RAWR!
Leg Tattoo: Brisa Leg TaTToo | Carol G
Stockings: Tease Stockings | MUSE
“For that special occasion when romance and seduction fill the air you always have options of lingerie and as with their corsets as well as dresses you get older releases in V-Tech as well as releases such as this for Maitreya Flat Chest. For this “Bed Time” shoot we’re showcasing the “Riley Lingerie” and it’s just one of many items in lace you can find for the Maitreya Flat Chest add-on.”
Steph’s thoughts regarding BBD:
“I don’t think there’s too much that can be said. They’ve been around supporting the femboy community for some time now. If I had more time, or could find the time, I’d try to reach out and try to get an interview of sorts to ask questions, get answers. Maybe that’s something else, for another time.
In their current or future line-ups along with the flat chest options, it’s clearly feasible for there to be some room for corset markets to add more bulge options. A few may allow you to fit in bulge panties from other designers but it’s often hit or miss due to different sizes on offer.”

Esmiel (our semi-resident FSG DJ) is up next with outfits from two stores; the first of which is from what I’m pretty sure if his personal fav Asteroid Box…
Hair – Chill by DOUX
Shades – Josiah by EQUAL
Nosechain – Vermin by CerberusXing
Tattoo – Drake by CORAZON
Bodysuit – Isla by Asteroidbox
Collar & Necklace – Emery Jewelry by Asteroidbox
Bracer – Indigo Bracer by Asteroidbox
“Asteroidbox is a fantastic store specialising in darker almost gothic styles. While they don’t always cater to Flat chests they have plenty of items which do.
The rigging, texture work, and styling is always top-notch – amongst some of the best in Second Life – and I’ve never been disappointed in one of their items.
Asteroidbox regularly have items on sale at events like Kustom9, Equal10, and Anthem; they also participate in Fifty Linden Fridays so always check that out!”
Here’s their shopping links:
https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/AsteroidBox/110/129/22
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/177085
Now a lesser known store but one which has been making a lot of new products lately: Appetite.
Hair – Chill by DOUX
Shades – Josiah by EQUAL
Nosechain – Vermin by CerberusXing
Tattoo – Drake by CORAZON
Top – Heni Top by APPETITE (Hentai version)
“Appetite are a really interesting brand, making some very cool and unique items – my favourite being the pictured top: Heni.
They tend to focus on crop tops, hoodies, and dresses – nearly (but not quite everything) is fitted for Maitreya Lara Flat, so make sure you double check!
You can often find these guys at events like Hentai Fair; their releases get better and better all the time – they sometimes even have strippable/interactive features.
Their stuff is not too commonly seen around so definitely check them out if you want an interesting unique item or two!”
Here’s the shopping links for Appetite:

OK nearly there 😛 two of my fav stores left the first of which is Two Sided:
Two Sided July Patterns Top
Insanya – Bia Skirt
Rage – Smol Bulge Thong
Reign – Shimmer and Burn heels
Spoiled – Gamer Girl Glasses
Spoiled – Bitch Don’t Steal my Switch
Vibing – Leila Rings
e.marie- Kara Watch
e.marie – Anna Earrings
e.marie – La La Land Coffin Nails.
Two Sided is a long established and very prolific femboy fashion supporting store; if you’re a member of the V-tech group you’ll see them posting often about new items they’ve added to their line. They really do cater to our community rigging wise too; just peek their items on Marketplace and you’ll see that there are options for both Lara and Belleza V-tech, Maitreya Lara Flatchest, and Kups Flat. I bought the top in the picture at a fair over a year ago and it’s one of the most worn items in my Second Life wardrobe. That said I don’t own a lot more of their stuff – not because it isn’t good – but mainly because I’m a picky boi colour palette wise and they just don’t hit the tones I enjoy very often; so more of that please.
Here’s there shopping links:
https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Pure%20Love/138/203/23
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/174439
Last but not least here’s some love for Muse by Moon Elixir!
Moon Elixir X MUSE – Bulge G-string
Moon Elixir X MUSE – Morning Glory Corset
Moon Elixir X MUSE – Morning Glory Shoes
Moon Elixir X MUSE – Morning Glory Stockings
Moon Elixir X MUSE – Morning Glory Bra (V-tech)
Moon Elixir X MUSE – Snow Angel Fur Coat
Truth Destiny Hair
Magika – Prue Headband
e.marie – Kara Watch
e.marie – Trina Earrings
Rawr! – Jenny Rings
Rawr! – Vanity Nails
This is a favourite store of mine; because who doesn’t love hot lingerie?! Seriously though as most folks know pink and white is a favoured colour palette of mine so they always have me covered. The store has updated their line recently to add to their options though (pink and white wasn’t all there was before of course) and you’ll see their products pop up on a regular basis at various Second Life Fashion Fairs. Their older items often support the V-tech chest mod (but not all) whilst over the last year or so they have sadly dropped V-tech support and now rig for Maitreya flat (would have been great to see both). They also have a small range of bulge thongs and bottoms but these are limited and don’t work with all their lingerie designs so if there is anything I’d love to see Muse add to their collection it would be more of that.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who took their time to take amazing pictures and give me so oodles of outfit and store info. I hope everyone finds this interesting and perhaps we can cover more stores in the future. I’d like to end the blog with some FSG News and some words from Lupe (from the Blacklist Crew) regarding something important. So here we go…
Our next meet up will be in just over 2 weeks!! Also London who was our amazing launch party DJ is guesting to supply epic beats 🙂
We have other FSG Projects coming up soon too as next month I’ll be contacting models about their availability for the next FSG Fashion show (later this year) plus keep an eye on your group notices and Discord as on Sunday 26th June I’ll be announcing our Summer Contest!!
Pride month is going to go out with bang!! The Blacklist Bunker crew have built a stunning Pride sim and have an epic line up of 7 parties in a row to celebrate. I’m going to try and go to all of them if I possibly can and would love to see you all there 🙂 Want to check out the Pride build? Well you’re in luck because here’s the location link…
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Trouble/116/96/2825
It’s not all about partying though as there are much more important things than that; so I’d like to end with words from Lupe so they can tell you all about this year’s chosen charity. Take care everyone. See you all soon 🙂
“Our donation goal for Blacklist Pride 2022!
Like every year we have picked a goal for all donations during Pride Week which starts this coming Sunday, the 26th of June. We have a whole week of parties and DJ’s planned at the specially built Blacklist Pride Park, and it promises to be EPIC!
Our Goal!
COC Netherlands is doing a donation drive for LGBTI+ people in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has created very specific problems for LGBTI+ people over there. Shelter is a huge problem as our LGBTI+ friends there often cannot count on shelter and support from their families. LGBTI+ people in Ukraine are very vulnerable. People struggle to find safe accommodation as they often get rejected.
The LGBTI+ community there is in need of our help. COC Netherlands is there on the front-line. Money is needed to provide shelter and to help them flee to such shelters from the war zones. In the shelters there is a need for food, medication, blankets, mattresses, hygiene articles; delivering food in hard-to-reach areas; medicine; emergency evacuation assistance (gasoline, housing, transport); HIV medication, and psychological aid.
Next to this money is required to help those of the LGBTI+ community who are under direct threat; to help them relocate to LGBTI+ friendly countries.
We think this is a very worthy cause for Blacklist to get behind!
About COC – https://www.coc.nl/engels
COC Netherlands has been advocating the rights of lesbian women, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people (LGBTI+’s) from 1946 on. COC strives for the decriminalization of sexual orientation and gender identity and for equal rights, emancipation and social acceptance of LGBTI+’s in the Netherlands and all over the world. COC is one of the few LGBTI+ organizations that has a special consultative status with the United Nations.
If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact me, Lupe!”
