For Whom the Bell Sleeves Toll
“Everything old is new to someone’ has always been my creed, when it comes to buying power in Second Life. That and ‘Everyone deserves their sexy school girl/bling shoes moment’. It does not matter if you joined Second Life if 2006 or earlier, or you walked in yesterday, the things that excite you do not have a lot to do with a release date. We discuss making it clearer in Marketplace in the Web User group meeting all the time, the idea of putting the date on things – they have added a date system of sorts, but it is not functioning correctly, so currently it is a bit more ‘ignore that thing’ than actually helpful. There are so many sides to the need for this, and also a good case for it causing more harm than good.
You have people like me that strongly lean into what we like, not when it was made, but then you also have those that have no concept of history in Second Life creation and can unfortunately fall into the trap of purchasing items that have no use to them in todays mesh climate – bodies, sizing, uv layouts etc. I cannot tell you how many times I have personally had to explain to a newer Resident, that what they just purchased is actually no use to them at all, and they cannot wear it. Whether it be incorrect skin types, system layer skirts – which do not work with mesh bodies even with bom (fun fact, by making sure that was still the case with the system skirts I found a bug that made me crash 3 times, there are so many behind the scenes things that happen when blogging) and things like Sculpties that are of course not rigged and will move independently of the way our mesh bodies move with our skeleton now…all of these things are horrible for newer people to wrap their heads around, on top of all the other things, so its a tick for putting dates on things in those cases. Then on the other side you have people like me as mentioned, that love exploring older items, and do not want everyone to decide that newer is better, which would kill the income of some incredible creators, who have items that very much do work with the current bodies etc, but may have a 3 or 7 year creation date on them, so people think its ‘old’ and yes, you can see how this gets debated often.
We have had resident created mesh bodies for 11 years now, and resident created mesh for 15, which means we have had these incredible options for far longer than we didn’t, which is funny to think about, because the years before it dragged on forever…we only had sculpties for about 3 years, there was of course overlap, but stand alone closer to 2.5.
Add to that the debate on older items no longer actually supported by creators, people that have left Second Life, but left their products active, they may still collect their income, but do not log in and have an actual presence or any kind of customer support, so you buy it, it is broken, or you do not understand how to use it, and you are out of luck, no one is ever going to reply to your IM (instant message – another thing that you realise when dealing with newer Residents, is that people outside of Second Life do not call them Instant Messages, so IM’s is absolute gibberish to them). There are also creators not collecting the money, they just left Second Life and did not look in the rear view mirror at all, now unfortunately this can also be because they are no longer with us in Second Life or Real Life and that is a horrible thing, but those items are still there, and we are often wondering what happens to that money just piling up. This topic has caused a few meeting flare ups, because we are more aware over time, that we as a platform are being held back by older items and the want/desire for them long after their creators are gone – however that has happened. This brings me back full circle to the everything old is new to someone but also leans into the, sometimes the thing we love is wanted on all accounts and also wanted as an item to share with others, through gifting etc, so the idea that one day we may not be able to send a newer account the _________ is a terrifying thing. Back in the day every time Whimsy made a new account she ran off and bought a particular pair of shoes, did not matter how much time had passed, those shoes were her base love affair with footwear, so every account had to have them, those shoes no longer exist, it happens, we have all experienced stores actually closing down and their items not being available, but when it comes to marketplace we seem to be holding on for dear life, probably because it feels like we do have that control. Interesting ramble I went on there.
This actually came about because while I was having my blogging break – unplanned – a few items were released that I really liked, but at different times, and I was musing over the fact that if I had blogged them the instant that they had been released, then this look would not have happened so easily, it was lovely to be able to just love the look, see the hair, want the hair to be an idea, then see the top and realise what better top, and then to find the pants and be supremely pleased with the outcome, then on top of that, be able to find footwear that fit under the pants and had a colour in the same family – always a golden moment. So again, it does not matter when an item was made, it is about how much you enjoy the item, the other stuff for some of us is noise, but it does make me hmmm over the idea that there has to be a better way for people to understand without help that it is not the right purchase for their other needs, the look might be right, but it is a system layer not mesh, or it has sculpt parts or all of those other things that at the time of listing were not a need…that then brings about the review options, but that is a whole other blog post.
This hair is by Truth Collective creator Litterbug Salon, as soon as I saw it I was really impressed with its 1960’s Mod vibe, I especially loved the cutouts with their metal rim, that is not an easy thing to do with mesh, it is tricky, I have tried. There are options to colour change the band, with the hud and there are many colours to choose from, as well as a tinting option – which I used – then you have the metals, and I went for the warmer gold look today. Then to Lamb, for this amazing tied crop top, with amazing sleeves that have options of closed, which I am wearing, or open which has them very flared and elongated, or the off, and the off is absolutely an interesting idea, as it cuts out the flared sleeve entirely, which gives you a less themed look, which is an awesome thing to do. Sometimes you want to be able to wear your clothing in various ways, and this top gives you those options. Also a quick tint to one of my Nuve bras – never leave home without it – and I was matchy matchy.
There were pants that went with the Groupie set from Lamb, but I love to spread the joy, as we know, and I do love a great Cynful moment and she delivered. These pants come in either solids or floral versions, with a sheer overlay, there are so many features seriously, it is a great pair of pants. I turned off the overlap, because while I was going for that Mod look, it was just a bit too clubby with the overlay vs me just being an out and about look that was highly curated for a moment, living my best 60’s life – cue a montage scene similar to Notting Hill but in a different decade. Simple accessories, stylish and elegant with the necklace from Sigma and my go to hoops by Dark Mouse, I am ready to strut through London.

Profesh
Today started early. I was up at 3:30 am and bouncing over to the Linden meeting for Trust and Safety. It was a great meeting, and you can see it HERE thanks to the awesome Pantera. Melody Linden did a fantastic job of running it, there were so many Lindens in attendance and a great group of residents present.
After that, we had a meeting for the Mentors – Super Secret Mentor Moments. It is so good that the supervision we get with Viola extends to Izzy Linden as well. That back and forth is crucial to making sure we are all on the same page when it comes to helping new residents find their way. I think some people believe that the Mentors just run wild with no training or support, but that is definitely not the case. At the second meeting, I got to play stenographer for those who did not have voice turned on. It was a big responsibility typing on behalf of Viola and Izzy for anyone who could not hear them. Even 20 years in, I still amaze myself at how fast I type now, especially compared to when I started out typing with two fingers and staring at the keyboard the whole time.
That helped with the theme of todays’ look, don’t I look all business like, in a punked out way. We have been having fun chats about Professional looking outfits lately in our after meeting meetings, seriously, we often end up talking for 3 – 5 hours after the Lindens go back to work, it is such a fun way to interact with other residents. It actually started out as a subject with this very top, and a whole whirlwind of topics transpired from that. Eris, who is also a Mentor and a meetings attender is so much fun, she spent the rest of the five hours trying on different looks and asking me if she was ‘Professional’ Looking…I was having a great time coming up with made up professions she could be in that warranted that wardrobe. Right now for instance, I look like I might do the books for some kind of Tattoo Parlour slash Cafe that roasts their own beans and for an additional 89.95 with tax will tattoo the look of your coffee creme on your body – stops to laugh at the thought of it. Eris actually has her own blog now, and she has a post HERE where you can see us as a meetings mob attending one of the exhibits that Erik did for SLB, it was a great road-trip together as a pack. We are certainly a photogenic group of awesome in my opinion.
The top I have on is from Orphic, it is part of a set, there are some shorts that go with it, but they are a bit shorter shorts, and was not the look I wanted, they are very playful sportier looking. I love what Orphic puts out, they have a really great aesthetic, it is like they looked at corporate fashion and how it has changed over the last decade, in a great way, and then said ‘ I can do better ‘ while not everything is businessy looking, or even has that visual element, it just lives there – this is all making sense in my head, so just believe me. Even when they are not going that route, even if a relaxed chill vibe is happening, it still feels tailored, planned to perfection with a strong story. I like the ‘today I am going to make a choo choo train’ vibe of it too, that creator that just says hey, I am going to create this thing that I am really feeling today, and it can be so different than anything they usually make, or so the opposite direction of the style path you thought they were on…GOTCHA! So even when it is not something that I would necessarily put on, I can appreciate the skill of it, or the intention of it and I really like stores like that. The top gives me that businessy look, that Profeshness that I want, but it has booty shorts with it, and that is just fun. The shirt stays the one colour but there are multiple knits for the sweater and it is a great set.
The other store that leans into that same feeling as Orphic is Technofolk. Often having me nodding and feeling on board, and loving the masculinity of the aesthetic, but still feeling really girly wearing it all. These punked out long shorts or short longs if you will are so great, they say cargo shorts can be cool…seeeeeeeeeee. This ensemble also had me able to use one of those purchases you make when you know you don’t need it, but you also know that at some point in your Second Life you are going to wish you had it, and so that brings out the cute laptop that opens and closes as you type when talking in local, it is very cool and the close up pic shows the animation that plays to close it, and it is really mild and natural, I really liked that. You can also customise it with the HUD that comes with, but it is also MOD and so I just threw an old snapshot of PS open on my computer, so it looks like I am working on my pics while in world, FUN!
Like I said, Profesh and Girly…the bows took over today, and while I am not normally a bows person by choice, this was a choice when I saw the hair from Navy & Copper after seeing the shoes from Breathe. What a pairing they are, the bows go down the back of the ponytail and they are hide show, so if you are not in the bow mood you can just turn them off via the styling HUD. You also have the ability to change their colour and tint them if you need more of a matchy match situation. I love a nice high ponytail, it is that ‘I mean business’ kind of style that is sometimes just how you want to start out your day. Then we have these fun espadrille style chunky sole shoes by Breathe. All the parts are controlled via the HUD and I liked that the bows/ribbon laces were able to contrast with the main shoe so that I could finish out my black and white theme. They also look so bouncy to walk around with, and you know these tattoo/cafes and their run all over the place business needs, you want to make sure your footwear can sustain it, but you can rest assured I am safety first, and I am not going behind the counter where hot beverages could spill on my bare toes, also ewww at bare toes being in a food prepping area at all. I am the office staff only. Had enough of my imaginary new career? good, scroll to the credits…

How we fit!
I took a long break from blogging in the last 12 months, I probably mentioned that during Hair Fair posts. It was not by choice – I did not decide one day I was not going to blog, I just didn’t blog. Then during Hair Fair, I did twenty posts in one week. Not exactly making up for posts not done in the past, but it definitely made it more present.
I have lists of blog posts, things that I wanted to discuss, rant about, suggest, and give insight into… posts that I want to do that involve me doing more than I had been. And then there is that niggly feeling that stops me going forward with them. There are so many ideas that I want to tackle, and so many going forth and taking on a whole new way of blogging, that has me hitting the brakes each time. It is pretty much what caused the huge gap, the first of its kind for me.
There are funny outcomes to projects in Second Life, much like real life I am sure. But it is that concern we have that if we start, what if something happens and I cannot keep going? What if as soon as I do that first post of 50 that I plan, something means time flies past and I did not complete it? Wouldn’t that be letting people down? (Do not ask me who these imaginary people are; I did not say that these were always rational thoughts.)
Then there are the other sides – the “oh, let me just step in here for a moment,” and then before you know it 10+ years have passed and you are still committed to that thing, and you did not see that coming. Pretty much like how I did not expect to still be here 20 years on, or still blogging 20 years on. Am I still a 20-year blogger, though, if I stopped for almost a year? I mean, it is not like I shut up and didn’t put fingers to keys in other places – that was my attempt at changing pen to paper.
Truth be told, I am actually not sure in this current format what I contribute to blogging anymore, when I do. I do not believe people go rushing out to buy what I am showing, like used to be the case… and I am not making that up, that is documented somewhere by someone/s. I am also not the only blogger that can honestly say, without any hesitation, that that is true of the past. We know as older bloggers we did contribute to the spending power in Second Life; it was undeniable.
I do think, though, that sometimes I may inspire some shopping, or at the very least some kind of revisit or a second look at something, if that makes sense – I always try to make sense. I like to put together looks or chatter on about things that make people remember they also own something similar, and “oh, they have that skirt and now they can see another option in what they could wear with it…” or the infamous “I did not know it did that” – this one makes me chuckle and sob at the same time.
I have always tried to blog that way, as the more informative blogger… I am not the “takes stunning pictures” person. I am more of the girl that looks good in catalogues with the information present, not the type where you are standing there, mouth agape, looking at the billboard-like quality of a post. I think there is definitely a great need for both, but the “me” side of that wants the other side of that to still provide all the information. Not wordy-wordsness, but at least credits on all items, because the shopper part of me is not going to go to your post to see where you got those pants if the last time I went to see who you got your pants from, you didn’t tell me.
I guess that is the reality of it all for me now, not knowing where bloggers like me fit anymore… I used to really believe in what we did. I am speaking for the missing girls on my platform, not the bloggers still blogging – I get to speak for them because they are not here, so they cannot turn my region purple or set it on fire any more. We spent hours of every day, kazillions of Lindens (yes, we purchased way more than given), and we believed in discovering stores and pushing them up and into people’s eyelines. We ran around Second Life like people possessed, trying to find that “not been exposed to the masses” item, so that we could then see everyone wearing it for the next few weeks and know we helped with that.
We got to speak to store owners; they would reach out to us and ask if we would consider blogging them. It was all very flattering – there were no cattle calls back then. Getting to know them was awesome, and long-lasting friendships were formed. We also used to reach out and let stores know we featured them in our posts, and they may never have heard of us or even been aware blogging happened, and they would be so excited. Those that did know of the Second Life blogging culture were often as invested in following along with it as the rest of us… takes a moment to just say in a soft whisper, “The Planet,” and sighs.
Anyway, I am rambling. Maybe this is why other bloggers have faded off over the years – they just didn’t know where they fit anymore. Something to think about.
The remind them of how something works part of this post is this amazing hair by Lamb. The cut is perfect, the short layered look that with some product and an idea can turn into this clapping by clicking your fingers, smoke filled jazz club vibe. I love that, I love when hair is telling you a story. I look this way in the day, but a few accessories, some dark shades and some sticky stuff that comes from a tube, and I am a whole other mood. I also really enjoy these jeans, and the colour palette, the thing I have about not liking purple does not include most purples and especially not plum. I love plum colours when done well and Lamb does them well, have you ever noticed that her colours always look that right side of vintage, I have, and I adore it.
I do not know if I was feeling nostalgic because of the top and wrote the post, or if I was already feeling that way and the top just perfected the look. I found it such an amusing thing to have on a shirt, and if you have been in Second Life long enough you have been around the loop of the ‘they copied me’ stuff, not stores, I mean people on the street, getting all bent out of shape about someone having on the same items, never thinking about the fact that they were also just released and everyone went running as a large wave of shoppers. The tank and the very cool armwarmers are from For You, and I got the chance to talk to their creator today, just a side IM as I tend to do randomly to people, about things I am thunking. If you have never had an IM from me about something random, have you ever even logged in to Second Life – I am going to laugh for days about saying that.

They are residents from all over, and it is important to them to do this for the kids and we love that, it is why it started. Thank you to everyone, and you can still grab yours at Hair Fair until Midnight tonight 14th June 2026 TELEPORT

Hair Fair 2026 – 24 Hours to go
Hair Fair closes on the 14th of June at Midnight (so all of Sunday is open), so just as we go into Monday the gates close for the year. I hope you have had a chance to visit, and buy up some of the goodies available, Also the last chance to get your hands on the Exclusive last names – Salon – Style and Strand that will donate 100% of the standard name change purchase price to Wigs for Kids. I have changed two accounts, so now I have Flair Style and Sasy Strand (alt). If there is nothing you want to buy consider just throwing some lindens in the Donation kiosks you will find at the event, or you can even donate directly to Wigs for Kids https://give-usa.keela.co/second-life-hair-fair-2026-financial-donation < they made us our own special link, so that any donations made that way will count as a Second Life donation..which is great.
Going to pull the post from Hair Fair blog to here, because I wrote it, and I took the pics, so it is only fair 😛
As we move into the last days of Hair Fair 2026 and the 20th Anniversary, we wanted to remind all that you still have some days to help us help Wigs for Kids. If you have not been yet, there are so many items at the event that are not only exclusives, so they may be items you have missed at store releases or past events the store has participated in. Purchasing at Hair Fair means that purchase will donate a percentage to Wigs for kids.
The booth builds included windows and the participants were given the option to decorate them, however they wanted, with the suggestion by me, that some history may be fun…or just decor that best represents your brand. Not everyone was able to do so, but I really enjoyed the things people came up with, and I love strolling along and enjoying the whole build inside and out because of it. Big cheer for PBR and glass.
It also gave us a chance to go through our inventories and find some past Hair Fair build pieces and you will also see those around and about the event. Some will have been at those Hair Fairs and some will see the builds and think …wait, is that a sink, what do you mean the booths were hair dye boxes, or based on the idea of a movie set for Edward Scissorhands. These things all happened, one of the best was the Lego style bricks that not only were the booths made of, but people got to essentially build their own booth using the bricks, and some wild and crazy things happened.
There are Hair Fair Hares from the past, getting a chance to hang out with each other, that for me personally is like the history of my meshing, and apparently I tend to create them when I am hungry, or watching some kind of themey tv show…this years Biker Hare was because of a lot of Sons of Anarchy.
I took some pics of the booths, I hope you get a chance to visit the event again, bring friends, log in alts, make new friends, and help us help Wigs for Kids.
Also remember there are Hair Fair Exclusive last names as shown on all the Second Life socials and destination guide. You can only purchase them at Hair Fair which ends up a 100% donation to Wigs for Kids. More information on that HERE and the information on the chance to bid on Lifetime Premium and Lifetime Premium Plus accounts HERE.

Hair Fair 2026 – Apika & Loveholic
I was waiting to show off this cap by Apika at Hair Fair 2026. As soon as I put it on I had this whole sense of celebrity spotted by the paparazzi. You know the tabloid pics you see of someone walking down a street or leaving a cafe or on their way to pilates, and they are wearing a baseball cap, because you are not meant to know they are celebrities, but everything they are wearing and how they carry themselves says LOOK AT ME! This hat is definitely that, and so cute, with texture change options for all the parts.
I had mentioned the other day that the hairbase from the Linda rollers hair by Loveholic at Hair Fair was fantastic, and knew that it would be the perfect base for under this hat. The finger curls, and the length of it, just works perfectly as under hat hair. The whole outfit went from there, with these bow jeans that I love because you can hide and show the bows, in the past I have shown them as only at the top, and this time only at the bottom. Matching influences of gold throughout and the tshirt of course had to have something on it, because again, they want to be anonymous but wear something that says something enough for you to take notice, but Kindness was a lovely thing to put out there.
Hair Fair is open until June 14th and ALL purchases made at the event donate to Wigs for Kids, Exclusives and previous releases. Not all stores have previous releases out, but so many do, so it gives you a real taste of what the stores have created over time, and some things you may have missed that donate with each purchase, a great way to get it all in at once.

Hair Fair 2026 – Kuni & Flair
It has been an exciting few days, I ended up buying the last name Style at Hair Fair (exclusive last name information 100% donated to Wigs for Kids) for one of the Flair store accounts…so now FlairManagement Resident – that was so much typing, is Flair Style. Then I woke up this morning and bought Strand for Sasy Resident who was just not living her alliterative life well enough for me, so she will be Sasy Strand. Which I like a lot, also because it tickles me that she is a Strand of Sasy Scarborough.
Speaking of strands, I am so loving this Kuni style at Hair Fair called Manu. It has lots of options and the Bangs are also controlled by the HUD, which is awesome. You can wear them without intention of having them visible, and hit that hud and appear they do, or don’t it is up to you, just makes for more on the go kind of styling which is great. There is also a much fuller bangs look, but I wanted to transition from the front of face to the behind ears look, because it was an option if you get the styling hud that is sold separately.
I also wanted to get a chance to wear our Flair release at Hair Fair, one of two, the Tamarama Trio Headband, because I love it, and we made it, and you can texture change all three parts, as well as it being mod.
Hair Fair is open until June 14th and ALL purchases made at the event donate to Wigs for Kids, Exclusives and previous releases. Not all stores have previous releases out, but so many do, so it gives you a real taste of what the stores have created over time, and some things you may have missed that donate with each purchase, a great way to get it all in at once.

Hair Fair 2026 – Jewik, Dark Mouse & Martyr
One of my favourite things to do is hybrid things, mix things up so that you get a bit of a unique take on something. So when I saw this hair by Jewik at Hair Fair 2026 that was already a mix of base and regular hair with headband I was smitten. I was hoping it would have the ability to wear the headband that comes with it separately, but even better, while the headband is included as a wear alone item, the hair with headband has the ability to turn it off, meaning this is the hair for wearing with every single headband you own for an instant fit. Now in the first picture I went with the way it comes, hairbase included, hair and headband. The headband also has texture change options, and it was a perfect matchy match to my very citrus like outfit. Perfect for me and with the hairbase included, you will probably find other styles to use it with.
Then I dove a bit deeper and pulled out a hair base that I feel in love with on sight in the Martyr booth at Hair Fair and that it was called Mel was just added love. A perfectly centred part, and just a really great base, I have been wearing it on and off all week, and it has different colours that also tint like a dream, as mentioned in the litterbug post. Then I reached for the Dark Mouse release at Hair Fair, this wooden headband that has stunning metal and pearl accents, and while it comes with different wood colours and metals and pearl colours, it also tints like a dream, with it being modify I was able to get a nice rose pink to match my outfit (sounds a chorus of Angel trumpets – that is a thing right?). So wearing the hair component of the Jewik hairstyle, with the headband that comes with turned off, I added the headband by Dark Mouse and the hair base change, and I have a whole new look that I love. I have mentioned in the past that I wear Dark Mouse earrings (in my ears in the pic) like all the time, so getting my bling on with hair accessories by Mouse is a groovy thing for sure.
This hair is already in my favourites tab, with the Mel Hairbase, because with my own Flair headbands and the many I have purchased over the years, this is a go to often style, and something you should definitely grab.
Hair Fair is open until June 14th and ALL purchases made at the event donate to Wigs for Kids, Exclusives and previous releases. Not all stores have previous releases out, but so many do, so it gives you a real taste of what the stores have created over time, and some things you may have missed that donate with each purchase, a great way to get it all in at once.

Hair Fair 2026 – Aeone
Aeone’s booth at Hair Fair is full of goodies, I was finding it very hard to decide what I was going to grab, I am still wanting the NY Suit of Armor helmet, just because it exists. This hat was giving me Juggernaut that needed some love feelings, and I love that. Kind of a don’t mess with me, but if you do mess with me, be kind. I hope everyone is ♥. I am definitely feeling it from the messages about the event, and people I have met there. This hat has a hud that provides so many colours and even some polka dot prints, it is the summer of polka dots apparently. As it is unisex you can have a lot of fun with these caps, and the whole focus your attention here aspect of it is lovely….I do really need to take another look at that helmet.

Hair Fair 2026 – Mina Hair & The Little Bat
I am enjoying myself dressing based on my hair choices this past week. Hair Fair makes that possible, and all the efforts by everyone to help Wigs for Kids just makes it more pleasurable to be part of. This style by Mina Hair had me feeling very Bratz Doll, with a hint of Monster High.
The Joan hair is a half up pigtails style, and the bangs are optional. I really like the bangs a lot, and can see myself using them with other hair in future. The Little Bat had these Horn Clips in their booth that while not made for the hair, were not moved at all when wearing them, they are a perfect match for each other.
The whole look gave me more reasons to go with another set of super high platform shoes by Breathe and the skirt and top by Cynful, the skirt has matching panties, and was a close enough look to being bloomery, which always makes me happy. The decal options are awesome and with PBR it looks amazing.
