P-Rod III Extended Commercial

Damn, I thought the 60 sec TV commercial was clean, this version is dope. Check it out below. Check out Paul Rodriguez in the X-Games 15, which started today. All the X-Games have never failed to amaze me.

Hmm... Michael Jackson Much?

Yo. I know I am late, and some are very very very sick about hearing about Michael Jackson and his death, his issues, conspiracy theories, and the 24/7 "breaking news" on silly possible facts like if MJ was buried where, his doctor, etc.

I just had to say my thought on that, because obviously... It spread to IMVU:

I respect MJ in the sense of what he did for music. He broke down a ton of barriers for a lot of artists to this day; whether "Black or White" (ha). Same for dancing. I might not be a dancer, but I can appreciate that. Just look at how many people mimic MJ's style of dancing, that speaks for itself. But, for me, that is where the respect is dropped.

I am far from a celebrity, and I understand a celebrity of his magnitude was bound to have bad press regardless. To me, the bad press he received on a certain subject... happened too often. I do not think that many people were out to get him, including his own friends and staff, but that's just my thought. I would not call him this or that, but com'on now.

Similar to 9/11 (I know, I am not comparing MJ dying to 9/11...), after it is all said and done, many people become really supportive. I think a better example is Pimp C of UGK. Many people did not even know of Pimp C until Bun B got mainstream and hit the mixtape circuit hard talking about "Free Pimp C!". Hell, a lot of people had no clue what UGK stood for or who it was composed of. But, once Pimp C died, you see a lot of little shXts talking 'bout RIP Pimp C when they knew nothing of Pimp C, or UGK for that matter. Now, it would be stupid to say people did not know of Michael Jackson... but, all these supporters were not this forward about being fans till he died. I compared it to the 9/11 thing in the sense that after 9/11 occurred, that's when everyone had a damn American flag. Nothing wrong with that, but why does it take hundreds of deaths for you to be patriotic? Why does it take MJ dying for you to rep him so hard? I guess the saying is true: "You are not truly somebody, until you are some body."

PS: I don't rock repeatedly accused possibly child molesters on my chest, do you?

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Yet another July Update

Yo. The summer semester is over!!! Well... except for my gym class, but that is a "go when you want" deal, so the semester is over! That means possibly: More blogs, More IMVU products, and Quicker responses to messages.

I am quickly sloping this together before I head out for awhile.

1. New Products for both Male & Female Avatars

Yes, I know I said no more female products in the last post, but I couldn't help myself. When chicks do tell me about my products, many wish I made matching products so that couples could easily match up clothing-wise. I did just that. I originally was planning on making that DJ Clark Kent x Nike "112 Pack" for Male avatars and only making it available in a 5,000cr bundle, but then I wanted to make a hat and tee to match. I ended up making a Nike style "SEIS ONE KNOWS" tee, which I expect to have little to no sales on because I doubt dudes want my avatar name on them, especially that big. Then I followed that with a TRUE SF New Era Hat to match. When I was done, I dumped the Nike Air Trainer 1 because I thought it looked weak as hell. I later had wanted to do something using the DesireSucker Nike AF1 High mesh, and decided to make the Air Force 1/Jordan 5 Fusions in 3M. I then, for whatever reason, decided to go ahead and make the shoes for females. The shoes are basically the same color as everything in the 112 Pack, except they do not feature the cement look. Then, I decided to go ahead and make an EZ Scoop Tee with the same "SEIS ONE KNOWS" thing I did for males on a baggy tee. Just like the male version, I have low hopes of it selling well due to the fact it has my name literally on it, but I do not care because the male version looks dope on me. It is the first time I made a product that specialized to one person, me. The hat is exactly the same as the TRUE one I made for males. I think the female icons came out the best, but the whole project came out tight. Very few people have made AF1's-- off of either the High or Low mesh-- that do not look like the developer just colored in DesireSucker's original map, which spells weak sauce to me. Anyways, after the jump I am hoping to post the icons, then eventually the product pictures if/when I am able to do this.

2. IMVUPay Fraud: 1 Year Anniversary

It has been nearly 1 full year since IMVUPay never paid me the money I was owed (over $200) after I gave them my credits. No real progress has been made; just a lot of shitty excuses and finger pointing by the owner (thought he claims to be the "ex-owner" now). I am fully pissed and I am not going out like a punk. I am putting up a fight even if I am destined to loose this $200 to these assholes. I will update my blog on that subject often.

Copy & Paste vs. Scratch.

Yo. Something must be in the water...

More and more I am going through groups and dudes are bragging about "Not copy and pasted", "Made from scratch", etc. etc. I really have a deep appreciation for people who spend the time and effort and create things from scratch using photo editing programs and using tablets to draw custom designs. Though the "urban" products are usually far from original (making clothing free-handed), it still is something to be appreciated at minimum for the time and effort put into it. I always have liked products that were copy and pasted simply because I have never seen anyone start from scratch and make it look realistic enough for me by including shadows, inconsistent textures, and different lighting accents... That is rare to non-existent in the current IMVU Catalog (at least in the "Urban" end of it). I would not rock paper mache looking clothing in real life, why would I do that online? To each their own, that is just my opinion.

My issue is with these "urban" developers that were on a lot of people's "pole" for the longest and then do something of their own and believe they are the absolute sh*t. A lot of the "urban" developers do things like change their names and hide their old products because they know they created lame sh*t in comparison to their skills now (that they brag entirely too much about). I have been developing for almost 3 years. I have never felt the need to hide my old work, to this day I believe I made dope products with the provided meshes of the time. I also don't do these calculated speeches in groups about how "hip" I am or how great my products are/were. Now, you got either these dudes that have been here for years making homo looking wack looking, kindergarten quality poor quality, lame sh*t (to be very honest) changing their names and then making what is now hip. Before, they was lost in space when it came to fashion (even online fashion), but now all of the sudden they are hipsters and have so much "swag". I think we got enough hipsters breathing air here on earth.

Another category are developers who made the majority of their products using the "copy & paste" method and one day they make something from scratch and they begin to bag on the copy & paste method publicly, which actually comes off as a shot to the same people that were behind their products before. Dudes on here are hella condescending. Acknowledge your roots. Why are you hiding what you made in the past? Then, some go changing their avatar names and making multiple accounts because they know their name is associated with weak sh*t in comparison to what they are doing now. It will always be what it is though.

I have no problem if you learn something new, more power to you. I am referring to people that are not new to IMVU or developing. To those people: Don't loose your f*cking head in the process you simple minded kid. Just as well as I can remember people making lame sh*t, I can remember people riding other dudes d*cks for the longest and constantly either getting others to make their products entirely or have them hold the hand through the whole process. Hell, I have records of dudes riding sack, but now act as if they have been the shit since the beginning of time and no one remotely helped them or supported them. I am referring to a nice sized group of developers.

If I do not know you, odds are I am not referring to you in any way. If you felt something build up inside you, it just might be referring to you, huh? Don't like what I have to say? Go kick a door. No hating here. I just see these same people spawning replicas of them, that kills me.

Remember: You do not need to kiss up to anyone to do well here. If anything, I personally guarantee you that you will feel better at the end of the day knowing that all/any of your progress is due to YOU and only YOU.

Nah dead ass. I don't put up with that bullsh*t. Keep it moving.

First Post of July (Happy 4th of July Weekend)

Yo. First off, I hope everyone had a great (and safe) 4th of July and had a memorable good one.

I actually have a couple of new products I have made since my last update, which was not all too long ago. I guess it is a little out of the average since I seem to be pretty dormant here. I had created a whole Hellz Bellz outfit for females + the newer "Wet Floor" Nike Dunk SB's. I almost always start with the shoes when I start developing. I actually was expecting to make a matching tee & fitted hat for male avatars when I began making the kicks, but I had remembered I wanted to make this line of Hellz Bellz sh*t that could work nicely with the Dunks. I used PoppyHome's newer meshes: one is a jacket-like top that is open and comes with a bikini top/bra and the other are jeans that are open in the front, revealing a bikini bottom. It did not come out as nice as I expected, but I was pleased with the results overall, so I put them out. THIS WILL BE MY LAST FEMALE OUTFIT I MAKE UNTIL I SEE MORE SUPPORT FOR MY FEMALE PRODUCTS (i.e. Product Reviews & Higher Sales) After the jump, check the full fit + icons below.


The outfit I made before the female one was a real banger (in my opinion). Black/White/Grey colorways; simple. Features a Chicago Blackhawks fitted hat, a Two In The Shirt (aka TITS) "Self Destroyers" Tee KISS Style, and these dope ass Nike Air Hoop Structures; which is a hybrid shoe that really has not got much attention/hype (thank God...). I know the actual Hoop Structures do not have straps like that, but I wanted to test out the new AF1 High (or Mid) mesh, also by DesireSucker. I'm glad I did. To this day, it is one of the very few derived from her mesh that is NOT a damn AF1, you can check it out for yourself here. 9 times out of 10, the dudes is not even creative enough to fathom making different than a AF1 on a AF1 mesh. A lot of robots in that arena; I am not one of them. The full outfit is actually featured on the M3tro0x homepage. Check that graphic out below (I hope I don't have to remind people what my avatar looks like, but I am the one on the ground). The picture is actually animated, but you will have to check it out on the M3tr0ox page to see that version.

The outfit that came after the one above was a true summer outfit: summer colors as well as summer gear. It features a blue and white Freshjive tank top and a AF1 Low x Air Huarache in Blue/Lime/White. Again, I used the DesireSucker mesh to get familiar. I actually waas the first (and I checked) to derive from that mesh; at least from the male avatar version. I am not a AF1 Low person, but expect a few colorways I personally like. I actually planned to make a matching retro Atlanta Hawks fitted hat that had the similar colors to the Griffey's (which is basically the same colorway as the AF1 x Air Hurache), but for whatever reason, I did not submit it. It matches perfectly... but I really really really hate having my catalog look scattered. I might just make it for myself, or I might just never submit it. My bad on that. After the jump, check out the icons for the fit.


Last but most recent, I made this dope colorway series of products. It features a Philadelphia Flyers fitted hat in Cactus/Purple/Black, Robot Is The Future x Transformers "Devastator" Tee, and naturally, the Air Jordan Spiz'ike "Citron". Robot Is The Future has not been featured at all on IMVU because so many dudes are on that Kid Robot sh*t, so I thought I would kick it off. The Spiz'ikes are derived from the AF1 High even thought they do not have straps in reality (yes, I do know that). I just like the mesh, so I thought I would give it another go. And, again, dudes is so caught up in AF1s that they make nothing else... that is not me. My first attempt at Spiz'ikes. If I make the ones set to come out this year, expect better quality. After the jump, check out the icons for the fit.
