Hair Fair Extension
Thanks to the good and generous people at Beta Technologies, some understanding Lindens, and the Hair Fair participants…Hair Fair is being extended until the 6th of July, that means that many that wouldnt have been in world until the weekend will still have a chance to visit before the end.
Due to all the sims going down at various stages the first two days, we have extended the fair until the 6th, Hair Stores participating will still be able to set up in their own stores on the 5th as usual, but we will be able to have all of that wonderful hair in the four sims for extra time. This is exciting news.
Do not forget to visit the Auction location at the Hair Fair, Brandy Rasmuson worked so hard on getting this area set up , the chance to big on exclusive hair from some of your favourite designers is awesome. If you bid and are outbid your money will be returned to you, please make sure that when you bid you know that the money will come from your account in the meantime.
Also don’t forget Bandana Day is the 3rd of July , the day when everyone replaces their hair with a bandana in support of those that have lost hair due to illness. All the bandana’s are located at the landing points for each sim, different ones at each location, all 50L and transferable. So make sure and buy a few and gift to those that can’t make it, always good to have some spare for the day.

Oh Hai
You know it’s not just men that laugh stupidly at so obviously naughty words.Ok maybe we don’t laugh the same as boys do, but we do notice when something is named something that is a bit tongue in cheek so to speak, or maybe it isn’t at all, and some just have dirtier minds than others – and by some I mean me.
So when Newdolly tpd me to the location of the first dress, yeah I wen’t “oh my” and then had a giggle, and it still makes me laugh just thinking about it.The dress is adorably cute, and the store was actually next door to where Newdoll was showing me in the first place.
Stardust Flapper was a perfect dress for the Pixie Hairstyle I’m wearing, tight and curled in just the right places, it has that look of the 20’s, with modern styling products.
We all know I have my purple condition, and I still stand by my round about notion that I don’t hate it exactly, it’s just one shade I cannot handle, and if there are other colours to be had , purple tones would rarely be a choice over others. But I have to say I am so for loving these Grape pants. They also have a long version, and they did have cuffs, but with the capri length , the way cool piping in white, it was too hard not to combine them with the latest Cross Laced Up Heels.
Showing three of the colours available in these shoes, they are with feet and toes, so yes you will have to match them to your skin, or do as i do , match your skin to your shoes. I love how these wrap around the leg, the wide straps of leather look soft and generous in length, the bow at the back is glorious..make sure you try on the demos to make sure they work with your shape, but they do definitely come with resizers inbuilt.
The tanks that have the slight lift to work over belted pants are a win, but even when not wearing prim attachments it just looks cute having that little bit of exposure. A little bit casual for the Sienna hair, with its slight waves and mid length it all works. Seriously the pants are YUM.
Ophelia is a gown to delight the romantic senses, not just in it’s full gown glory, but with the tea skirt that is belted at the midriff it’s just divine. The creamy fabric decorated with soft smatterings of leaves and flowers is just so delicately beautiful. This is the kind of gown that alludes to being truly a princess of nature, for me it is like coming alive from the forest itself.
As inspiring, the Alethia hair is beautiful also, and combined they make one hell of an impact. The hair is adorned with coins and chain, and would definitely make great hair for Kajira and anyone for that matter in silks, but with the Ophelia Gown it was just heavenly.
More newly released skins in the Elegance series, firstly I am wearing the May in tone 3 as well as the Elegance Emotion skin in Serene and Happy, all the skins in this range have great character, so it is just a case of finding the right one for you. YAY DEMOS.

Paradise
I came across an adorable store today, very Elf like in build, with a kind of space age mysticism added in. Instantly I thought of Beauvoir of Maitreya. If you have ever seen Beau you would know why. So this is what I would think he would wear if he was a girl lol – dodges the smack.
Ok he probably wouldn’t show his tummy as much as I am, but still it is such a beautiful store and he makes me smile everytime I see him. On a seperate note, I once did a pic pile up of him and Onyx so maybe it will give you insight into what I am rambling about, it is HERE .
The clothing is all from the same store, the range is magnificent, and the prices WOW you just really need to get over there and look.
Being able to move through a store like this, and just really love the textures alone is really lovely, even if the style isn’t yours, you really cannot fault the execution of each design. One thing I didn’t notice at the time, is that all the perms differ, some items are no copy, some are no transfer. I rarely ever pay attention to that as I keep everything , so unless I am on a mission of gifting it rarely matters, but it is nice to find a store that does actually have such lovely pieces that you can give, just make sure you check first.
When I put on the first set I knew that it needed more magic, and the jump to the Inspired Sparrow wings was simple, these wings are stunning and with the sculpties being perfectly shaped and xcite compatible, which is a giggle and a half sometimes. The wings beautifully compliment the Asian Flower necklace by the same creator but in a different store on the same sim. I love when creators branch out of their comfort zones, but keep to their own names so that fans of their work can really grow alongside them.
There is nothing better to me than open fronted or short fronted long skirts, I love them RL and SL, best way to show off boots there is. Yes with flexi skirts your boots are going to jut through regardless, but its so nice when it has a little more realism to it.
Angelina boots are slimline boots in a crushed leather look, so very detailed, with the laced up backs and full length inside leg zippers – the toes are pointed to Whimsy Winx standards of acceptability *snickers*. Another beautiful feature of the Angelina boots are the seam up the front, these things are as real as can be.
All of the clothing was available in at least 4 colours, and green fans unite, because this store loves us…and not just green but THAT green, the soft autumn like green that is just cherishable, yes I almost did do the post entirely in green lol. Many of the outfits also had other options, such as the black Insect Latex set on the second pic, that has the sheer open look top and bottom, as well as the closed, so even more bang for your buck.
As you can see also, you can wear the skirted outfits without as they do come with pants options, and some even came with a second pair for boots, those were made on another pants layer though, not underpants. There are mens items also at the store on the second level, so be sure to take your partner, and if you are into RP definitely give it a visit, because the prices are amazing, and the work is splendid.
I really love how they look with the Timeless IIÂ skins too, with new make ups and a lovely canvas to show off such lovely clothing, they also come in a freckled version. As usual I love the mouths on this skin, and the way the eyes are shaded gives them so much character. Make sure you give the Demos a spin, maybe even grab them on your way to the clothes.
I couldn’t resist wearing the Maitreya hair either in this post, as the white is always hair Beau wears, and the new styles look fantastic on Men, and now with the NEW Tones, Beau has actually changed to Silver and once you see the demos of the new colours you will see why, it is GORGEOUS.

Smile
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for youLight up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smileThat’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smileSometimes people create for all kinds of reasons. Many people are in Second Life because they cannot be in their first lives the way they wish. Don’t forget that the people on the other side of the monitor from yours are not always as perfect as they sometimes have to pretend to be. This is not roleplay, it is just another them, sometimes the real them, they can no longer be.
I often forget that myself, and for that I am truly sorry.

Hair Fair 2009 & Flickr
Hair Fair 2009 is in full swing, and wow it has been a bumpy ride so far. At any given time during the weekend one or two of the Hair Fair sims was offline. Thank you so much to the Lindens for doing as much as they could to make sure that we were back up as soon as possible, because it was a very stressful time for them with thousands of regions in the redzone.
Also a big shout out to those at Beta technologies that have provided all four sims for Hair Fair this year at a cost to them, not only of the land but also by being awesome, and actually changing two of the sims to include Hair Fair in the title.
Hair Fair 2009 is from now until 4th of July, and with that in mind it is really important that the word is spread. This event has always showcased NEW Items only from talented hair creators all over the grid, but has always been about the fundraising aspect of it.
This year all money donated will go to Locks of love, and that money will pay for wigs that are made for children with hair loss due to illness.On July 3rd this year, and every year whichever day it falls on, Bandana Day is coming. Bandana Day is the day when we all remove our beautiful hair, and wear the modifited Bandanas that are for sale ONLY at Hair Fair , this and every year.
Bandana’s are at the landing points of each sim at Hair Fair 2009 and are only 50L each and transferable. These bandana’s as always are creative and fun, and a good collectible, that will be deleted once Hair Fair 2009 is over , don’t miss out on getting something someone made that you adore.
We have also added some flickr groups to the Hair Fair 2009 groups this year, please add pics to those as this is the way all year people find out about this event, and it works as a time line for past and future exciting events.
Hair Fair 2009 “Show us Your Hair” Group – This group is for all of those that have been blogging, taking snapshots, art pictures and everything else, that showcases the NEW Releases at this years Hair Fair.
Hair Fair/Bandana Day – This group is for people to upload their ads for their bandana’s they made this year, or years past (please specify if not this year) as well as snapshots of people wearing Bandanas at this years fair, on Bandana Day 2009, and other years past.
I have been shown pictures over the past three years from excited people participating, so this year we want everyone to share with each other.
Hair Fair Booths – A Group where creators or fans can show the booths of this year and years past that they enjoyed or built for Hair Fair, often these just get deleted after, we would love to keep a memory of them here.
Hair Fair 2009 Official Vendors Group – This group is for all the participants of this years fair to show their vendor ads, this way people can see exactly what hair belongs to what store and so on, and also be tempted by them :). This group is only for pictures submitted by the creators of the hair.
Thank you all, and remember it is open until July 4th and is a celebration of Hair and a worthwhile cause. So if you have already been, and it was over the weekend with sims going down left and right, make sure you come back when the sims settle, you can always keep an eye on the map (type Hair Fair in search) and see how many people are in each sim.
Thank you again because this event always makes many so greatful for the community of Second Life.

A few weeks ago I was talking with Aradia about her second life daughter, who I just think is too many shades of awesome. Chelsea I didn’t know also had a store inworld, one that catered to little angels like herself.
I was also told that a while ago Chelsea named a dress Sassy so off I went faster than a speeding bullet, and within moments I had a Sassy Dress. Now a very cool thing about the Second Life clothing templates, and the layers they are created in world on, is that they actually fit everyone.
So even though I am much bigger than Chelsea and her friends, and Meko who I couldn’t resist taking there to see, it was way too hard to not walk away with some goodies for myself.
The outfit on the left doesn’t come with that skirt but the combo is yum. As soon as I saw the brolly and wellies with matching hoodie I squeeled…and omg omg omg aside from the apples there is a pink poodle one too, but that would be far too much cute for the internet.
The dress is full and satin, with a big bow at the back , you also get those lovely shoes and ruffle socks, how perfect for when special occasion dress ups are the theme for the day.
Lastly just too cute to leave behind, and I am on the look out for a bucket and spade now, because a look like this means damp knees and sandcastles for sure.
The hair I am wearing is of course only available for now at Hair Fair, and I urge you to see them and really take a moment to look at the vendor ads for these styles, they are in my opinion art in themselves, and what inspired this post.
The creativity in world moves me everyday, but I have to admit that this actually caused me to tear up, the faces , the hair itself, and just the overall homeless orphans look about the whole thing, from an old movies kind of theme had me all choked up.
With that in mind, it was also not hard to go with the latest skins from our very talented blogger pal Ashia Tomsen…the one on the left is supposed to be a fight skin, and so looks that way when not dressed so adorably, but that hair is scrappy and fun, and all kids take a tumble now and then right.
I also love the scarred and scraped shin, mind you as a kid who had scrapes like that every other day – and I am such a girly girl too just accident prone – I don’t think I loved the idea back then lol…ouchies.
The other two are from her Doll collection, and even though porcelain dolls in RL freak me the hell out, I really like how cute the concept of this is, especially in world, and feeling broken these days its a win.

It seemed a shame not to go and follow up the stockings of yesterday, with the actual outfit they came from. Latex and lovely, this zippered combo is just hot. Having the perfect hair to wear with it was easy also, this was one of my first buys at Hair Fair this year and the name makes me think of that girl, which would make it a bit weird as I am the age to know more about her dad than her lol.
I am all for loving the final update to these skins too, I see the Forest for the tree’s or something like that. I think that if you have this much shiny on your body, you don’t need it on your make up, and the cats eye shadow and liner more than make up for it with their smoldering look.

Girls On Film
The other day I was chatting with Arabella Steadham of Arabella’s Amblings, and was unable to draw my attention from her feet.The boots that she was wearing were just divine, and even more so once I found out that they had texture change options up to 6 different ones. Not only are they change, but it does it in individual parts, so that you are able to take it even further than the six and mix it up a little.
She has been wearing them on and off all week, so finally today I declared she had to take Whimsy Winx of Virtually Dressed and I to get some, and my usual awful pushy nature forced Whimsy to go against her pointed toes only rule, and get some too.
So then with us all in need of getting some blog posting done, and the fact that we have a mutual love for many similar things, we decided to all jump up on our VR Professional Posestands and have a great old time.
Now as this is a combined post, you will need to visit both girls blogs to find out the details of their outfits and bodyparts, and it is well worth the jumping about. It has been a hectic couple of months and now with Hair Fair in full swing, I hopefully will have time to share my purchases and incredible items at this years Hair Fair…but even if I do not get them all done before the end, at least you can always get them at their mains.
A few weeks back also I was all up into belts, I found some wonderful ones in my travels and this is just one of them. I love the cyberpunky look of it, and was so ecited to find that on click I could change the colour of the glowing liquid in the sides and the swirling parts at the front, making it a colour co-ordinating marvel. It has many incredible details to it, and Mel is very cautious of the spike attached to the back.
The clothing I am wearing is a combination of new and older releases from Miel, I already have shown the shorts in other colours in the past, and added the newer undertanks, as the girls were rocking out the others…but I do plan on showing those too in the future as I have been wearing them all over the place lately.
How much love I have for the stockings I am wearing, it was part of an outfit that is way hot, and I will show that in the future also, but for now you just get to see the delish large netted stockings, I am all about net stockings, and these ones are superb. I would really love this creator to do more of this style and sell them seperately as the seams are wonderful.
All of the hair we are wearing is of course only available at the moment at Hair Fair 2009, so far already they have raised nearly a million lindens for Locks of Love that is an incredible achievement when the grid has been so crazy today.
Don’t forget to go to Arabella’s Amblings and Virtually Dressed to see the details of their items.

Hair Fair tips and tricks
Hi all,
It is Hair Fair time of the year, and it has been a wonderful few months of preparing this event for a a great cause. Hair Fair has always been a fantastic way to showcase the talent of hair creators from all over Second Life, this year there are well over a hundred stores set up and almost ready to show you their marvelous NEW styles for this year.
Yes Hair Fair is always about the NEW NEW NEW. A minimum of three styles, maximum of five, with onestyle donating a minimum of 50% to Locks of Love, the Charity of Choice for this years Hair Fair.
Some tips and tricks to help you with Hair Fair 2009.
The most exciting tip I have for you this year is one I use myself often when attending events such as this.
Get rid of the people
( you are there to shop, no one cares what you look like, and you definitely don’t care what they look like, so get rid of them, they truly will not care.)
Firstly lets prepare by pressing Ctrl + Alt + D all together and making sure that we have the advanced menu at the top of our screen. If you already have it, then lets move on.
Click on advanced, then click your mouse on Debug Settings. A small grey box will appear, once you have that open in the white section highlight this next part in red and copy it by pressing Ctrl CÂ RenderAvatarMaxVisible and then Ctrl V into that box in world.
Once that is either pasted in , or you can of course type it, it will say Maximum number of avatars visible…..yes this is the promised land.
Default is set to 35 , do you care about that many people shopping when there is hair to be had? I do not think so….take that bad boy down to 5 unless of course you are shopping with a group of more than 5 , but again your friends really don’t care when they have hair to buy too.
Be sure to remember you have done this when you leave, because you will need to put it back a bit higher lol. What it will do is select randomly avatars around you to show, those that are near you will fade in and out, it can be very tricky when you start hearing voices you dont see.
Un- Render those tree’s & other non hair related items.
Do you really even like Second Life tree’s ? if your hair is more important some things have to go. Back to advanced menu again. Once in advanced, click on Rendering and then click on Types. You will have to repeat this over and over until you are satisfied.
Tree’s don’t need them, Clouds don’t need them, water ? unless you are washing said hair? don’t need them. Cloudes and particles ? definitely do not need them.
Make sure you dont go crazy in that section, there are things you will need to keep on, such as alpha – or you will mess up your hair – and simple which can mess up everything.
Graphics : who needs pretty skies when you have pretty hair ?
Ctrl P will open up your preferences in an instant. Put your Quality and Performance slider to low, this will not help a lot but it will help if you are generally at high, mine is always set to mid, but it can’t hurt.
Click on custom box on the right hand side of the slider, this will open the graphics settings further.
Atmospheric Shaders and Water reflections HALLLLLOOOO HAIR, uncheck those.
Make sure your draw distance slider is on 64 thats as far left as it can go – do be aware that the Hair Fair is four sims joined that start at one and if you follow the chocolate road you will end up back where you started, so you do not need to see that far ahead.
Max Particle count , left as far as it will go, turn those off, you do not need bling at Hair Fair.
Mesh Detail, your objects slider needs to be high, so that you see your hair demos as well as you need to, but everything else can go down down down.
Make sure that Avatar Imposters is turned on with the check box, this means that any people around you you will not load at full capacity, again YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEE OTHERS.
Now about ARC , do not yell about peoples arc at Hair Fair or any other event, it is rude and bullying, not everyone reads blogs, not everyone reads english. Give people the benefit of just being at a charity event and care about yourself.
The other thing is that proven or not, running that application to see who’s arc is what is probably putting a strain on your own experience, so turn that crap off. The only thing you need to do is look at it before you go to the fair to be happy with your own count, if it means that much to you.
But here is a tip, NO PRIMs.
Find in your inventory clothing that is texture only,such as pants without prims and tops without prims. You do not need shoes, again no one cares about you, and seriously are you able to get a close and good look of your hair while staring at your shoes ? coz thats some skill right there that is.
Also really why are you bothering to even wear hair ? I often shop at hair stores bald, it’s a pain in the bum trying to find the hair I had on to put it back on to then replace it with yet another demo.
Do you really think that anyone cares if you are bald? other than to think you pretty much rock for making it easier on everyone.
Hair Fair is NOT like any other fair, and the lag is full on to say the least, but that is because unlike any other fair or event in second life, hundreds of people are attaching possibly scripted demos, with high alpha and flexi all at once, can you imagine what that is doing to the asset servers and the sim servers as well.
Other fairs do not have the same things going on with them as Hair Fair does, and you have to take that into consideration, all the booths have only the charity scripts and subscribos in their booths. They are using as many of the same exact sculpties as possible, as well as repeating the same textures over and over again.
The event lasts two weeks, it will end on the 4th of July, so please consider doing it in stages, maybe do a sim every day or even pick up demos from all the stores you can , and then return to just purchase later on.
Please note well that YES the hair will eventually be in the stores selling them, but during this event one wig from each designer is donating money to locks of love, that is incredibly generous of them, so if your own funds are limited, try buying those styles first, as it really is going to an excellent cause, nothing is worth more than helping a child.
Do not forget that Bandana Day is on the 3rd of July , were you can replace your hair to show you care. Bandanas are for sale ONLY at hair fair, and are 50L each and transferable. So buy lots and give them to friends, they are set up at the landing points for each sim, so that is a good way to deprim as well.
This is a list of the slurls to all the stores at Hair Fair, I could have put them in alphabetical order, but they are not placed that way, so you would be trying to tp back and forth between four sims, this way it is following the flow of the sim.

Garden Tea Party
Quickies I never succeed at doing, but I have to try.
Tea Lane recently became such due to the rebranding of Teagan and Laynie’s stores and yes it took me until now to get the name thing.
They have worked hard, and in doing so they even made a New Residents dollarbie store in the process with older items of theirs, so keep your look out for that too.
The items shown today are a mix of Tea Lane and Tuli, with others thrown in for prettyness. I have always been a citrus fan, lemons, limes and oranges make me happy. While putting together this outfit though, the old blah blah of ‘blue and green should never be seen, without a colour in between’ came to haunt me, and seriously I don’t usually care, but in this case it ended up a great way to add more citrus.
The Elsa sweater in jade is from Tea Lane and is a snuggly knit with a lovely large turtle neck collar. Going with the Dark Denim Sumi Jeans from Tuli with the adorable little strawberry patch at the back, the shading on these is excellent and I love the whole vintage feel of the Sumi range, for me it’s reliving being little and trailing after my very fashionable mummy – she is a shorty though, so even if she had kept her stuff id have capris not jeans lol.
The in between ended up being one of the Cameo Gem belts in Lemon from Digit Darkes, handy how that happened so easily :P, I’m pretty sure I chose the colours for that one, so that worked out in my favour. Getting a chance to revisit the Frenzy heels from Maitreya in the beautiful rich green, I love these shoes and right now there are retro inspired ones in the main store also.
Big smooches to TRUTH for making the new Babyhoney style hair that has an adorable beanie/bandana look, but not only because the style is gorgeous but because the texture change selection was spot on perfect in the green, so much so I wear it twice today.
With this look I am wearing one of the Tea Lane mod skins in Maple tone called Mabel, a lovely burnt orange make up and a beautiful tone, they have so many skins at Tea Lane, you really need to DEMO DEMO DEMO them all.
Going a little paler in tone with the Sugar Skin – Payton(freckle) from Tea Lane, such a cute look with the smattering of freckles across the nose. You do also have the option without freckles so check them out.
The beautiful dress with jacket is again from Tuli, and is the Leila Garden Set . I was totally drawn to this ensemble, not only because of the beautiful style of dress but of course the combination of colours, and print. This is the outfit that I remember many times when I was in my mid 20’s wishing I had at crunch time, you know those sundays you have to attend some day time christening or whatever day time functiony thing, and you realise that everything you own is either work clothes or going out stuff, and its been a long time since you even thought of dressy day wear.
Well looks like this one are perfect for such things, and I know I am not the only one, so don’t get caught out, go explore that look, because even here we have daytime functions.
The crop jacket comes with and is great for mixing and matching with other items, I was so excited to see also that the Sassy Wedges by Maitreya had collaborated with Tuli to bring us colours that compliment this line, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee more shoes. So there below the dresses are the colours that match, so if you are a fan of the Sassy wedges and you don’t know if you have these colours, for that reason alone you need to visit Tuli’s. The tortoiseshell bangle from the set at Essentia was also a great addition in the lovely soft pink, bringing it all together with my green and pink bonanze.
See still can’t do a quickie, I totally talk too much lol.
