Hair Fair 2011 – Summer Time
I feel like I haven’t blogged for months, but it has only been a few weeks. Helping get Hair Fair 2011 underway is always a huge undertaking. This year due to the incredible committee we have it has been amazing so far, with so much more fun to be had I am sure.
The first hairstyles I am showing are from Discord Designs. I actually met the creator at Hair Fair 2008 while she was setting up, and Kallisti just floored me with her braided styles. To watch her be able to bring her visions even further with the advancements in SL since then – with sculpties and tattoo layers – has been amazing.
The majority of her hairstyles are unisexy, so make sure you try everything, as well as grabbing her goodie bag at the fair. Next up is LoQ, the styles this year are fabulous, and all named after alchohol lol. I have been watching LoQ and her advancements in hair making have been really impressive. She recently released new colours it appears, and they are vibrant and really nice to wear. These three styles are just fab for lazing by the pool or of course the beach.
The bikinis I have on are from DCNY, and if you have been to Hair Fair you will have seen their logo on the wonderful Low Lag outfit they generously donated to us for use this year, between them and Exile donation wonderful hairbase tattoo layers, you don’t need to find your own deprim outfit at all – and it is FREE. I especially like this bikini because of the prints, and fabric, but moreso because you can wear the top as a top with its full coverage style.
I am also wearing the new flip flops from Maitreya, these are perfectly timed for me and everyone walking around in them. Definitely divine feet and anklet options. I will be wearing these all summer, but I will call them THONGS.
Lastly for this post is the Pr!tty hair, this is their first Hair Fair, and their three styles are just adorable. They all have attachments of feathered headbands, and the blonde style has extra length attachments as shown so your hair doesn’t move all over the place.
I love the sporty look incorporating these styles with the DCNY Sporty Dress, these are so cute and sexy. The best thing about them too is that they are really well colour balanced, and again you could totally utilise the parts in other looks.
I am wearing a new skin by Curio called Summer. I haven’t worn Acorn tone for a while, so I thought it was time I did, what with spending all week by the seaside at the Hair Fair builds. The build is incredible this year, I just love what Mel and Whimsy did with it, and how well layed out the space is, as Washu and Damien worked out a land plan well in advance. So many people have taken incredible pics of the build and all things related to and added them HERE to the Flickr pool, so if you have any, please add.
These are perfect make ups for Summer too, so aptly named. Light and not overly done, they have more of a natural look, even when made up. The lipsticks are more matte in this release and the eyes are softer. So DEMO DEMO DEMO.
Looking for all the locations of Hair Fair this year, you will find them HERE , Newdoll spent hours gathering them all up for us, and you can also get them in world on a card from the greeters we have at every entrance. Also if you get greeted but don’t grab the card, or book, you can click the greeter prim in the centre of the circle and it should regreet you to get another.
Also please note that if you haven’t heard already, this year for the first time we changed the rules on donations. Instead of one wig donating 50%, all wigs donate 15% or more – depending on the choice of the designer, that is why you are probably noticing signs with different amounts all over the place – but no matter what, every single sale will donate a portion to Wigs for Kids.
