It never rains at Hair Fair
What a day, so Whimsy and I went over to Paper Couture to see the newness again, ended up tping in a whole slew of people from Fashion Emergency which was fun. Then when we were done we went walkabout.
Sofia a while back told us that we just had to go to Ooh La La and I had not had the chance until today. I guess with missing Mel so much it was time to be all girly girl and prepare for his return. This lingerie by Nylon Pinkney is incredible, the textures used, the detailing, all of it is true to the exceptional quality she always produces. The awe factor doesn’t stop there though, the prices are incredible, this is lingerie you will dream about, at a price that will allow you to go and add all the other bits and pieces you may need. Champagne quality at beer prices.
I am again wearing some of the stunning Paper Couture shoes, and there is so much more to love since I worked out they are modify with help from a clued up friend lol. I am going to try my hand at moving the bows to the solids lol stay tuned – if you attempt this make copies first – All of the hair that I am wearing in the first pic is by the lovely Man Lady Bubbles Clawtooth, he was an absolute joy to spend small moments with during setting up at the fair, so fun and vivacous. Clawtooth by Clawtooth hair is every vintage loving girly girls dream store, so to team the three together for pics was a no brainer.
Next pic is me channeling Anya, lol. The hair she has created for OhMai Salon is just adorable and everything you would expect by such a talent. I am so glad that she wanted to be a part of this years fair, there were so many creators this year that came back to making hair, or launched their new lines, its always been a tradition at Hair Fair to do this, and we have always kept those people a secret unless otherwise prompted. We always take that part of being on the committee very seriously, if a designer wants to launch at the fair, we do all we can to make sure that they get to do that…funny how that works, but we are always so honored at the trust in us to do so.
Anyways, rambling, the hairstyles that Anya released are so unspoiled and carefree, the colour names are a classic, and I could not resist wearing fanta, mmmmmmmmfanta. If these styles are her first foray back into hair, then I for one am way too excited about what she will reveal once she reopens her store in a few months. The skins I am wearing in the second and third pic are Tess2 by LAQ and soooo cute. Fresh faced and innocent me lol. They come in all the usual beautiful tones, with gorgeous make ups, and you can of course now get the brow and hair base add ons seperately to enhance your experience. DEMO DEMO DEMO.

He made a Robot out of my boxes
Hair Fair 2010 is upon us, so many incredible content creators under many roofs. I am going to try and do as many posts as I can and hope that you enjoy not only mine, but the dozens or so I have seen so far.
The first store I am featuring is Frou Frou, brand new store, and the first styles I have seen are just divine. The first hair is Natasha Has Hot Rollers and as a woman who used to hot roller her hair and then shake it out, at least once a week this was a must. The hair is stylish and grand with a definite grace to it. This is the bigger of the two Natasha styles. This beautiful hair do gave me a chance to show off not only the latest release of stunning shoes from Maitreya Gold, but also my squee worthy love affair with the Yokes from Whippet & Buck.
The beaded Yoke is just beautiful and Whippet & Buck outdid themselves with not only providing it as a seperate layer to beautiful anything you want, but also on a combined sheer tank option, with all layers so you can be a little more descreet by stacking them, but in this case I am wearing it with a fabulous corset from Eclectic Apparel. I combined the look using the skirt from a really old Ghost release, so much fun mixing and matching Ghost. I am using a 2.1 viewer official actually, that allows so many more layers than ones in the past, and remembered that over at The Dressing Room Glam Affair had some face tattoo layers for sale, so grabbed those and stacked them, with also the lipstick I made for Mima by LAQ – still free at Flair in the blue box if anyone wants them.
The second style by Frou Frou is Mrs Andrews, I asked the creator while she was setting up what that was about, and it ended up being based on the character in the original Freaky Friday movie, not the JLC one. I love a concave cut bob, I once had Aleri make me one and it was a huge success, I invision this one being the same.
I found the most peculiar sim the other week, by found I mean landed upon, seeing as I am sure it was not lost in the first place. Anyway Whimsy and I ended up spending a fortune there, in small spurts as there were so many gatcha and lower priced items that it was astounding how much we did spend. Anyway while I was there I got this fabulous belt, and it was under a 100L and had all these attachment options and is really great prim work. It looks so cool with the new Jodpurs on crack by Royal Blue, as Royal Blue has just released a slew of seperates in time to pad your winter wardrobe plans. Whether casual classy or highly elegant, the Frou Frou hairs work as well as the Maitreya Gold Hana Sandals of all win.
The poses I am using are from aDORKable, they are the official Posers of Hair Fair and if and when you have time, you really need to check out the group and prop poses they made for the fair, the hair pulling ones are AWESOME.
I just got told that Newdolls hubby told her that last year at Hair Fair he gathered up all my red boxes and made a robot, I wish that I had seen it, because it would have been a hoot. No red boxes at Hair Fair this year, but you will really enjoy all the fantastic styles there…all donations are going to Wigs for Kids, an increible cause. Ashia Tomsen has put together a list of the Slurls for Hair Fair 2010 to make it easier to see what is what and where is who, HERE

Enjoy the strut
Holy Toledo – wonders if Toledo is more Holy than the rest of the U.S? anywho, so new hair is coming, and I have been chomping at the bit about it for weeks now. I wonder if you can guess who’s hair it is just by looking? and OMG Shoe Fair is just around the corner and right now I should be over there drooling, but I spent so long taking all these pics today, I totally lost track of the time. So much so that I got the dates wrong in my head.
Some not all the shoes in todays post are new, newish and older. First two are newish with the Wonder Shoes by Kalnins, again with just the colours I needed for my post. These give the oppurtunity for all one colour straps or two tone, which works really well. Also included is black, which if memory serves me well I have never used on Kalnins in the past.
I would have to bet that many would agree,that Roslin teaching herself to make clothes in the past year was a much needed thing for our inventories. Especially as she has such a girly girl creative flow, it really does up the prettyness all over. The use of vintagey prints and soft fabrics, her dresses and swimsuits which I really really wish she would turn into a micro mini, are just beautiful, the swimsuit to me would also serve really well as a brushed velvet bodysuit, depending on what you did with it.
Are you in lust with the hair yet? the first three styles are Amanda 1, 2 and 3. If you haven’t guessed already, all of the hair today is LeLutka and about to be released shortly, hopefully tomorrow so you don’t kill me. Thora has been doing a reworking of how she does hair lately and the work has paid off, the styles are soft when needed and perfect for picture taking when the style is created for effect more than motion. That is what has always been so stand out about LeLutka hair, the tendency to lean both ways, working not only for the photographers hiding in us all, but also for those that just want wearable beautiful hair.
At last years Shoe Fair the very first store off the TP point for me was Ana Mations, and the items that jumped right out and grabbed me were the rollerskates. I remember a few familiar faces all piled into the store that night, and I spent the rest of my time rollerskating around.
Now even though Anamations is an animations store, the skates do have their own tricks etc, but I went with the poses from aDORKable, who also have some great poses available at the fair this year. The chance to have such fun again came about because of the recent release of the roller rompers by BOOM. How fantastically 70’s are they, with of course a more modern twist, that being less fabric across the bum lol. Also from BOOM are the very cool tube socks and the rasta coloured sweat bands, to make it even more realistic I should have worn the sweat from Luck Inc, but I am saving that for another time.
This project theomary about to take place is Beach Bash, and BOOM has released the pretty bikini set for the event, not only do you get the string versions but also the halter and fuller bottoms….but wait there is more, you also get all of them available on Tattoo layers. Talk about above and beyond layering wise, and with the new added layers options that is just tooo cool.
If I was playing Family Feud and the question was ‘things you do in a sexy bikini’ I am so sure Hula Hooping would come up. So on that note the recent Hula Hooping Poses by !Bang worked out just right. For this set you get the pose and the prop – hoop – that has a texture change script built in, so that was handy to match up to my kini. Also matchy matchy due to the fabulous minds and scripterroos of SL, the latest Espadrilles by GOS are awesome. I really am happy that not only can you change the colours of the shoes with the menus once you add the new texture pack thing, but you can also change in parts, so rather than go all teal or all sand, I was able to mix and match. Of course espadrilles are a must have for summer, and these ones are fab.
Lastly a little bit mixy matchy with the Luck Inc and BOOM. The bags are great, fantastic texture options, with scripts to change the handles and my favourite part is scripted to change size, now I prefer mod, but if no mod then this is wonderful for bags, because sometimes you want a huge oversized, and other times maybe just a carryon. The hair in this pic is Lake, gorgeous do, and so incredibly spot on if you know the inspriation. A lot of the new LeLutka hairstyles have been inspired by amazing women of the silver screen. Veronica Lake is of course the inspiration for this one, and I think personally Thora nailed it.
The Enya boots by Kookie are the latest release at Shoe Fair, and they are wicked clompy. I almost went stormtrooper with them. But decided to keep going where I was headed as they worked that way too. Next time I will have to kick some bum with them on.
The skin I am wearing is from Sn@tch and for the next few days they are having a huge sale, which includes the gorgeous skins. I had to get the pack of these, and the make ups are just stunning. As you will notice on the right I am a different tone, that is due to Luck Inc’s skin burner. I thought I had seen it all when it came to enhancements but this one takes the cake. Only 1L in the Main store, this is a tattoo layer only and you wear it over your skin and voila new tone. For those that love a darker tone, this is a major bonus, and will probably save people a fortune.
Have a great weekend everyone, and do not forget Shoe Fair starts tomorrow.

It isn’t beans on toast but equally yummy
I saw the release notice and squeeled, then later that night when I was able to off I went dragging Newdoll along with me.While we were there trying on demos, we were nattering away about different things, Hair Fair and upcoming events, such as Shoe Fair. It is an incredible amount of charity work that is done by Second Life residents each year, truly amazing, and yet we never seem to get the press for it ? why is that I wonder? not sensational enough maybe?
Then we tpd back to The Deck, and I gave Newdolly a crash course in Kirstens Viewer, it is a bit less daunting than the regular 2.1 in so much as you are able to get rid of that sidebar if you wish, or only open your inventory as usual. I prefer it because it gives shadows of perfection, due to Kirsten taking the time to develop for ATI cards. The most recent upgrade has also included the amazing new layer options. Which I was meant to go into the other night, and truly forgot to explain that was what I was using to allow me to have two tattoo’s on at the same time, which until 2.1 regular and Kirstens you could not do.
But it doesn’t stop with tattoo’s, you are able to now add up to 5 different options on the same layer. Now it is getting tricky, and you have to unlearn everything you have trained in wearing clothes up until now lol. With the new system it is a return to dressing as we do in RL not SL. Think in terms of layering RL, you cannot put on layers that go under, after the fact. Also there are two dressing options, wear or add. Wear is as usual the one that just replaces what you already have on, with new.
So lets work on an example. You have a shirt you like to wear untucked, that is made on either the jacket layer, or extended using the pants layer. You would love to wear it with your favourite pants but they only come on the pants layer, and you really want to wear a jacket as well. So the way the older viewers work you couldn’t. Now though, you would wear the favourite pants first, then ADD the pants layer extender of the shirt, then the top of the shirt on the shirt layer, and lastly put on a jacket.
I hope that makes sense. Anyway just remember if you want to wear another item of the same layer type use the add option not wear, and do them in the order from inside out.
Now back to the squeeling, the hairbase tattoos and hairknot buns I have on are all from Amacci and my goodness they are fabulous. These do not include the brows, but with over 40 colours to choose from, or like me grab the whole pack – the price is awesome – you will be set for hairbases for life. The buns are elegeant and full, and the hair line is just gorgeous and will go with so many other stores hair textures too
As soon as I put on the white one, I knew what skin I wanted to feature with it, the perfect ivory tone and lighter than light brows in the Hope skin by Tuli. The blue make up too was just perfect to show the first of the lovely Joelle dresses, I knew what kind of style I wanted to wear for the look, and knew just were to go to get it. SySy Designs has such a lovely collection of dresses from casual/dressy daywear like this one, to high voltage evening wear. I think though that for a while at least, the Joelle will be one of my favourite SySy designs.
I continued with other skins by Tuli, just for the range in tones and looks, all complimenting the gorgeous hairbases. I would love if Carina would do a fantasy coloured pack in the bases too, because I really really wanted to see them in other colours lol.
Have an awesome day/night…

O to the B to the Noxious
Ever since I saw a sneak peak at this skin in an ad for another item, I was smitten. I have been waiting impatiently, and finally today it was released.
This is Bianca, the latest release from Adam n Eve, a pouty and sexy skin, with 12 make ups and four beautiful tones. There are two skins in the pack, one with and one without cleavage enhancement, as well as a whole lot of hair base and down there options on tattoo layers. The manicure and pedicure sets also come with as usual, so you get lots and lots of bang for your buck.
The make ups are fabulous, and Sachi said that in the future she plans on doing more make ups as separate layers, so yay for that to look forward to. I noticed a subtle difference in the tummy area, so make sure you DEMO DEMO DEMO these skins because they are lush.
The Edge dress is also by Adam n Eve and its a great Micro mini, but also has a flexi fuller mini skirt option, if the micro isn’t how you roll.
New skin deserves delish new hair, and the three newest styles from Magika are todays treat. The one on the right is such pirate hair, I can just see guys that RP giving that one a run. Texture change bands too, so lots of fun to mix with your wardrobe, and I couldn’t resist wearing the booty bay boots with it .lol.
I got new nails this week, aren’t they Speshul. As obnoxious as all get out, that is why I loves them. Blinged up and fabulously long…I got them in hot pink as well :P, you know you want some too lol.

Urban Tan
Summer lovin Urban style, with new hair and new and improved jewelry I am stylin all the way to the surf.
I am so excited that Essentia has recently updated one of my fav sets, Jaydie was created as originally a tigers eye set for Jaydie a long time friend of ours, who one day pined over the lack at the time of tigers eye jewelry. So Fia made this set for her and it was a hit, recently he has updated it so that now it not only comes in all his hand made gemstones textures but also silver or gold options at a click menu. So while wearing all these beautiful summer colours I was able to change my jewelry to match, WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
The bikinis and cute little sporty skirts are new releases by Urbanity, such fun for either strolling down to the beach, or playing your favourite summertime sport. Which can be either volleyball or watching the gender of your choice get their own sun and fun lol. The ruffles are so cute on these skirts and without the prim attachment, you can actually wear them as sporty little shorties too.
LeLutka is warming up for Hair Fair, with the release of 4 new stunner styles. Five were actually released but the hat hair is more of a unisexy suity style than swimsuity style. Feeling all tropicana, I went with the Tuli The Deck Exclusive skin, she created it to only be sold at her The Deck store – yay us – and with the beachy like theme of the sim, she wanted to have something that worked with that. I think it rocks, but not just for summery colours, but also as a definite out there make up.
All the poses I am using are from Glitterati and don’t forget they are still having their SALE until the 21st , bargains to be found.

Yabba Dabba Yum Yum
Yonks ago I did a post about Pebbles of the Now, fashion wise what I think she would wear. Todays dress and look is totally going that route again. I have always been a Flintstones fan, and wanted to be Pebbles when I was little. I should have done this post with all red hair, but who knows, maybe she dyed it when she got older lol.
The Posh dress is a release by DCNY, the dress comes with the stunning lace under or over shirt, with many clothing layers to style how you want to. The tigerstripes on a pastel background are yum, and the lace top is going to be an absolute staple for so many looks. I even threw on a belt to make the dress bottom look like a skirt, just to have even more versatility.
I am of course wearing the bra top by Maitreya underneath, but you can opt for no bra or different styled one. The possibilities are endless.
The shoes I am wearing are the latest from Kalnins, they are the Yolande and every time I blog Kalnins for some reason even though the colour options vary so much from style to style, they always work with what I plan to blog, bloggers fate for sure. The style are great for dressy or casual, and the zip front make them realistic to slip into. You as usual also get different options for colouring due to the individual areas all having their own options.
The poses I am using are all Glitterati, they extended their poses SALE, and until the 21st most of the store has been reduced to 100L a set, so make sure not to miss out on that…also if you have any store cards, use them now as they wont be accepted after that.

Candy Candy Candy I can’t let you go
I remember when I was a teen flapping at an all floral outfit my mum was about to wear out. Mind you when I was that age I only ever wore black. But the flapping was more to do with the fact that the outfit was neck to wrist, and then to ankle floral. It was so bad, there were all sorts of whiney noises made about it, so she did end up changing. It wasn’t the print that was the problem, it was HOW MUCH print. It was also a full skirt, so yeah way too much. I convinced her to do a full skirt in solid and then the top, or vice versa, but not both together, and that is how she ended up working that outfit from then on.
The funniest part of that memory is that my fashion sense comes from her, but that day I think she lost her marbles…that and the fact that it was the 80’s and fashion for the 40 somethings then, was a little hit and miss. This floral print if that large and long would need to be broken up as well, but as it is a mini, the bright colours and fun style, make it perfect for summer lunches and fun days in the sun.
I got to have fun with this floral mini by DeLa because it is mod, and had enough attachments to make it really workable with other things. The top pic, plus the sleeves of the second pic are the total outfit. But shown three different ways in the pics, and the last I took an undershirt layer and shortened the top enough to make a bustier type top with just one of the attachments. As the top comes on all layers, and is copy, this was a breeze and doesn’t effect the overall outfit at all. It is great to get so many options out of one outfit, and as the colours available are so flexible, you are not starved for choice.
Also new by DeLa is the beautiful folded leather DuDu clutch. This clutch is totally the type of purse/wallet that I would use all year round, the multiple zips on the outside just make it so realistic looking, and the purse comes with attachments for either hand. I did move that to forearm so that I could still wear my nails by Page 3. Addictia to my delight released more of the Tropica Flip Flops (THONGS) in neutral colours that make them easier to mix and match with other clothing. The HUD is so easy to use, and colour matching to skin is a breeze. I love how you can also wear them only as feet with or without the anklets, all in one is a definite win with these.
The hair I am featuring in all the pics today is from Exile, recently I was lucky to spend some one on one time with Kavar interviewing him for TOO Sexy magazine. The styles he has been producing lately are just getting harder and harder to take off, the three today are just gorgeous and April the last one is still on my head because it is HOT HOT HOT.
PXL just released the latest skin Candy, it comes in 5 different tones, only one shown here today – more to come – there are 3 brow options and a great range of lips and eye shadows, all with freckles and cleavage on clothing or tattoo layers. I am so glad also that PXL eventually went shaved, as that skirt in the 3rd pic is so low at the front it would be a huge Fashion Don’t otherwise lol. DEMO DEMO DEMO Candy, she is a lovely skin.

Red Sole
I totally cheated today, you may wonder how and with whom? but it was all innocent and Mel knows all about it.
Fact is that recently Baiastice released some menswear, and while this is not all of it, it is a great taste for both sexes. The male in the pics is actually just me in Mel’s shape wearing the Daniel skin from LAQ. The hair the male me is wearing is also part of the Daniel skin pack, as well as a huge amount of facial hair options. Very rugged and chiseled features on the face, he is a looker for sure. Baiastice always provides beautiful textures and lovely quality whether mens or womens wear. It also always has that Euro influence that is probably more visible in the mens. The first look can be regarded as an afternoon early evening, maybe into the night look.
The second look is all evening, and scrumptious. I really love the snugglyness of the sweater, and that dress, Sissy really knows how to leather up a lady. The Kristel dress comes in many colours, but this deep red is just gorgeous, and went so well with the Mercy shoes by Orange Creations. These shoes have not only fabulous colours and straps, but the soles can be either red, black or tan which is sometimes so sexy or can really enhance a look. Easy to use HUD for skin tone matching and nails. I love a red sole and was actually reading an article about Loubouton only yesterday, one of the things that I found amazing in that article was the fact that his biggest customer with over 6000 pairs of his shoes is Danielle Steele. Imagine what she could do for the SL shoe economy if she became a resident.
I am liking my little door for the time being, so I think that will be used a tad more, who knows though, I tend to change mid post as you have seen lol. The poses I am using today are from aDORKable who are about to celebrate ONE YEAR… I am so excited for them, as they are an amazing team, and have such passion for what they do. So Happy Happy One Year Dorks <3
I really enjoyed doing a post with both skins from the same place, the idea of a couple having the same skin creator is kind of nifty. Daniel is definitely a looker too, he reminds me of Smith from Sex and the City. The Aline skin is so much fuller in the lips and that really works for me, it is nice to have that change without touching my shape. I also love the eyebrow gems as they fit the arch of the brow of this skin like a dream, again no changes made, I just double click wore.

Sing it Whimsy
I was chatting with Whimsy about Aussie v’s US teen shows last night. Growing up watching as much American TV as I could, with all of the fabulous UK shows mixed in, it is so obvious that there is some kind of gloss that deservedly belongs to US TV. I was comparing teen sex for instance, in Australian shows, it is rare for a couple of teens to just have at it, usually the build up can take months of debate and drama filled angst, that parents have enough time to make sure their kids never see the result, if in fact it does even happen, and you would probably never see anything more than them fumbling around. In US Shows that are geared towards teens – and no this isn’t a bash or me saying they are all like that – there is more of a lets do it, and there they go lol.
I remembered one such Aussie movie though that went all out, and that was the infamous Puberty Blues, so I went to Youtube in hopes of a snippet and somehow managed to watch the whole thing with Whimsy lol. Oh My Goodness what a crazy movie. Aussie’s everywhere probably just groaned remembering some of the worst scenes. Anyway, as nuts as the movie is, Whimsy was really surprised at how busy our beaches were, and what better way to celebrate that fact than to do a post on beachwear today.
Especially with the timing of the latest releases from Sand Shack Surf. The cafe shorts with their slit and rounded sides are pure 70’s – 80’s flashback shorts, and the colour range in those is brill, I especially love the faded navy, as only lots of sun can do, that and keeping them on the clothesline longer than they should be…I ruined so much black that way as a teen lol. Feeling all girly girl, the New skirts are divine, highwaisted and so pretty, they also come in oodles of gorgeous colours, and i love how well they work with the new tanks.
I not only love the skirts but also the highwaisted underpanty shorty thingamajiggers underneath. It looks so cool how it is finished off, and the type of fabric used, that I would totally wear them on their own with a cute belt and top as shown. So that is way more bang for your buck when buying the skirts. Another great bargain are the shoelace sandals, these come with not only sole options, but laces too with so many colours to choose, so mixing and matching with your outfits is never an issue.
I am wearing the latest hair from Fri.day which is actually on sale until the 12th, it is so nice when people release during a big sale, so that those that already have everything still benefit from the savings. This hair is just YUM, and even though there are two, I just had to save the second for another post and get as much wear out of this one as I could.
Mmmmmm Hairy Shoulder Pets and Pink Flamingo Balloon Sticks, bliss to be had.
