Hair Fair 2021 Coming Soon – Bandana Day Kit info
Bandana Day Kit 2021
All finished bandanas must be in by May 31st 2021 – Available on Marketplace
Hair Fair is a little over a month away, starting on June 18th 2021. Each year we ask the community of Second Life to help us further by creating Bandanas that we sell during the event and round out the event with the last day being the official Bandana Day.
Each year we receive bandanas either textured variants of the bandanas we provide in our kit or unique mesh created by those that want to help support this cause. We invite anyone interested to grab the kit available and help add to the money raised through this annual event, this is the 13th Year of Bandanas and we are so moved by everyone’s eagerness to help. You do not have to own a store or be a creator to help, look at the information to see how you can participate, thank you.
Examples of Bandanas created in past years…
If you need a kit, please contact Sasy Scarborough. Or you can purchase it for 0L on Marketplace Please only use this kit for what it is intended for.
Bandana Day in Second Life, started in 2007, It’s a day we encourage people from all over SL to remove their hair and wear bandanas decorated by Residents (not just hair creators!) grid wide.
The Bandana’s in this Kit have been created by Mel Vanbeeck , and are not to be used for anything other than Bandana Day Bandanas.
The idea is to decorate the bandanas provided with either a texture (textures must not have images or logos of RL products or copyright material) prims/sculpts/mesh, or both (NO HAIR) and return it full perms to CharitySasy String – Perms will be changed to No Copy and sold Mod/Transfer as we do every year, so people can buy for others.
We also encourage you to create a notecard that explains why you have decorated the bandana, as many people have their own stories as to why they support this cause. You do not have to do this, it is just something we will include in your bandanas box to share with the person that buys them.
All money from the sale of these bandanas will go to Wigs for Kids and will only be sold by the Hair Fair Committee at Hair Fair 2021. After the event, the bandanas will be unavailable, after you send your bandana to the committee please delete the kit and its contents.
You all have your own friends/fans/customers so putting your own logo/name/blog on the ad is recommended, that way customers will know at a glance whose bandanas they want to buy if they are limited to purchasing only a few.
you can add your logo to the bottom right-hand corner of the template we provided in the kit.Thank you, in advance, if you choose to participate.

Male presenting chest vs Male chest – Furry Fun
//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js
So when I was younger so much younger than today, I was a virtual Disney Princess. Well it seemed like it, and I have mentioned that in the past. You see my Bestest Male friend was a Furry, a Kirin one day, a Dragon baby the next, it just depended on his mood and his colour palette. It also depended on how much he had invested in the latest look. With him came along some other Furries and then the Furry babies followed – that is the Disney Princess part – nothing will make you feel more like one than having a trail of baby furries following you all over an island. Furries were not welcomed all over SL back then, no idea what that was ever about, and it is just downright ridiculous because if it had not been for the Furries and the Vamps, SL may not have gotten off the ground as it did, because they were definitely the majority when I joined in 06. So anyway, I stayed on my work island all the time back then, or did not tend to stray far from it, and because I was always there, and because my Bosses at the time were pretty awesome, the Fur babies and the Furry teens and a few Furry adults would hang out as long as I was around, because no one was going to mess with them on my watch, I had the banning of the meany powers. If we still had access to my original posts you would actually see some done with my furry friends joining me, but that stuff is long gone. I am rambling I know, but anyway, my point is this, back then and I am sure probably is still the case, to get truly little as a boy Furry you had to use a FEMALE shape, it was the only way to get really small, we did not have mesh, or even sculpted bodies, they just used the SL default and because of that often looked pigeon chested. So when I saw the Slink Physique Homme Augment, meaning you could female shape, female body but male chest yourself, they were one of the first things I thought of.
I went on an exploration of my inventory but came up surprisingly empty handed, so I went to Marketplace, and I had all but given up hope when I came across the Happy Paw store, now I was lucky enough to find the items amongst a search and did not actually peruse the rest of the stores goods, but you really should because they have some of the coolest looking parts ever, not only do they come with exceptional options but to my utter delight in the items that I got the body skin options came in system layers so I was bakes on mesh capable for my Redux items by Slink. This was perfect, and originally I had just planned on showing the body and the chest augment but then got super excited about the Doggo head and well you see the result. Liked it all so much alted up for the comparison and then sent a set to a friend. Now what you are seeing here is in the black version you have the Slink Physique Male body, and a Male shape with the settings as small as I could make it without looking weird. Then on the right you have the Slink Physique Original Female body, Female shape and the Homme chest Augment. Sideline the skins come in PG and Mature versions and the PG means no nipples, so that made me personally feel a bit more comfortable as I am essentially naked right now, and that is so not my normal, but I guess I have fur on. So with the female body on and the use of the smooth panties toggle, I look as pg as can be. and as small again without going unrealistic as possible. The sliders are identical in all the body, torso and legs tabs, there is no breasts option for men only pecs, but they are the same as the breast size on the right. The Male version ends up at 4.83ft tall per the SL appearance info, and the female with male presenting augment comes in at 4.55ft with a smoother look overall.
It was fun setting up this comparison and the items from Happy Paw are truly amazing, so have a look if you are or have ever wanted to try your Furry look. I am not sure why there are no demos, but the heads – sold separately – have so many options, opening and closing of eyes, mouth movement when typing or talking, partially open mouths expressions and so on, it is really a work of art, and there are ears with the body that differ than the ones with the head, the ears I have on came with the body, as did the tail which comes in bento or animesh, so many things, and the prices are incredibly low, you also get items to create your own additional mods. I hope you like the information and let your friends know the augment is available at the Skin Fair 2020 that is just about to open its doors to the public.

Male presenting chest you say!
In Second Life there are a lot of things that people do, there are parts of Second Life that I have never seen, and often wish that I had more hours in the day. I do not actually mean locations, even though there are so many of them I wish to frequent, but more to do with the communities that have evolved over the years into some of the biggest opportunities for growth than most of us know. One such community is the dancing community, there are so many groups of people that put on live performances in Second Life, that there is even a full blown Calendar of events that I saw once thanks to Crap Mariner and it blew my mind. How is this something going on potentially right now, that I was not aware of before. I mean I knew that people made poses, and I know there are outfits, and clubs exist for dancing, but I am talking about groups of people rehearsing and spending potentially months preparing for a show that will then have a run until the next show is started on. It is really amazing.
I will go more into things like that another time, but when I saw the NEW Slink Physique Homme Chest Augment that is releasing at Skin Fair 2020 that was ONE of the first things that came to mind, the idea that with the addition of this Augment to the FEMALE bodies, you could essentially turn your female person into a male person, without the extra package. There are so many ideas that I myself have come up with for this add on that I can only imagine how many more there are, and how far people will be able to take it. The great thing is that there are also two variations included, one is Male skin such as worn in my picture, and the other is Female with a very dehanced skin that is – I played around with things that I had and they need to be skins that have no shading underneath the bust. While some will wonder what this really does that makes such a big difference, well for starters SHOES! This now means that men can get in on the footwear that is often only available to women, and not only that but get onto the idea of feet having more than one position. In my pictures I am using the Slink Physique Original Bundle body, which comes with the deluxe feet, which means I can use the Pointe feet, and then added the Margot slippers that work on all the feet heights, so in the second picture one foot that extends is in pointe and the one under supporting is in kitten, just that left and right and ability to do something to make the male form look more realistic is wonderful. I had so much fun gearing up the male look that I then went with the female option.
Dancers are often very small breasted, and the Petites Augment that has been around for about 2 years now by Slink looks fantastic not just in everyday wear, but is so well suited for this dancer vibe, or just if you like a smaller chest, again you just wear it with your Original or Hourglass bodies by Slink. The sliders of your shape work on the augment, and I have it pretty high up, so you will be able to go very small if that is your preference. I am looking forward to sharing some other looks with these Augments in future, and the head I am showing partially is also at Skin Fair in the Slink booth as it is the New head Miranda, all Redux (bakes on mesh) and she has adorable dimples and a very strong nose that I really like. Speaking of heads, just a little trick for those that are now aware, and really just to show how incredibly talented Second Life Skin creators are, the MALE uv and the FEMALE uv of the SL heads are the same…I know right, so that means that you can use a male skin on a female head and vice versa. I am wearing one of the other female heads that are by Slink and it came out great with the help of an older Redgrave skin I was hiding in my inventory.
Skin Fair opens on the 13th of March and is a two region event, where you can find mesh body parts, skins, shapes, makeup options and more, so mark your calendar.

Pisces Princess
So anyone that has ever paid much attention to my blog knows that I tend to Mod things. If a runner for a hallway is mod it might become a runner on a dining table, or if a pot plant for a desk is mod, it may end up being an over-sized planter. I can’t help it, if I can I will edit it. I also do things to accessories if I can, and so yesterday I mentioned the Zodiac set by Yummy at Uber, and I mentioned the word and symbol separate rings that everyone had to have, so I was standing around and I was thinking and then I was rezzing and then I was stretching and then I was attaching to my nose and the next thing I knew I had a TIARA/HairClip with Pisces that not only ROCKS MY WORLD but fit the hairstyle I was next in line to put on from my Exxess shopping spree the other day. Now originally the band of the ring was still visible and it did look awesome with this hair, and didn’t poke out in places, but even more exciting and huge kudos to Polyester for making separate faces for the rings, I was able to make the ring band transparent, so this is going to fit most hair I have.
I am so excited by this, because honestly every so often I go on this ‘I need a Tiara, I am a Princess” rampage – do Princesses rampage? should they rampage? – anyway over the years it has been a thing, and some very disappointing outcomes. But this, while it is not meant to be this big, and not meant to be perched on my head is making me super duper happy, and that is what matters right. So whether you are an awesome Pisces Princess or an Aries Amazon, or a Legendary Leo, you should get your mod on and rock your sign, and if you are a little more subtle than I am, well you still have the option to just wear it on your finger as intended.
Still enjoying my run with the Slink Physique Original and what better place for a Pisces Princess to spend the day than the beach and this ensemble works for that so well, these are older pieces by Tee*fy the shorts are just adorable and the tank is perfect. I then grabbed my Slink Thongs, not flip flops, THONGS that go on your feet, and I am ready for whatever the ocean brings. I did add some more of the gorgeous Ice set makeup from AlaskaMetro and removed all the additional mermaid stuff that I was going to pile on but decided to be more natural and less fork to the hair.
I may have just declared an Embargo on my friend Kavar while writing this post, this Tiara has Super Powers or Bossy Powers, one or the BOTH! I love being a Pisces Princess >)))*>

Promising Garden
One of the things I am enjoying about wearing the Slink Physique Original body of late, is that it re-opens the Standard Sizing clothing that I already own, which is the case with this cropped mohair sweater by League. If you had a standard sizing shape, you got to wear Standard Sizing and with bakes on mesh now you get to use the same alphas that are included with standard sizing mesh, so it is a win win. I love this sweater and while it was not the sweater that started the look, it rounded it out perfectly.
What did start the look was these shorts by Vinyl. Not only is the shape of them just perfect, but the colour option that is ‘cream’ on the HUD is this kind of soft antique rose looking colour (you also get striped versions and the option to texture the trim with the fatpack hud options) and then that just lead me down the garden path to a recent purchase of some floral boots by Coco. With the socks included and these amazing highwaisted fishnet tights by Miwas I am living my best shorty life.
The necklace I picked up recently at Kunglers had all the corresponding colours needed and then on top of that I grabbed some make up options in bom layers from Just Magnetized (at Hentai Fair which has a very adult theme so be aware) Layering those with the ice pack (giggles at ice pack) make up I picked up yesterday at Uber I was loving the combination.
I also grabbed the ring set by Yummy that is at Uber and it not only has all the fingers on and off options (celestial themes are not usually my cup of cocoa) but it also includes a word and symbol ring for star sign, so even if you do not want the rings on all fingers, you really need the individual ones, because they are just awesome. Some editing to put them in place (not rigged/bento as they do not need to be) is needed but it was easy to do.
