Hair Fair 2026 – High 5 Loveholic and Monso
Watching the process of Autumn of High 5 set up her booth each year is a treat, she just keeps going, and going, and going, and it is like watching a story come to life… and this time at the end of all her hard work she even spent time cleaning up. Before I saw her pull out the mop, I had mentioned that her booth reminded me of a 1950’s home expo you see in movies. While there was only me in these pics, I really hope I captured enough of the vibe of this amazing piece at Hair Fair.
The Vintage Salon Dryer set is just amazing, the whole set is animated for solo use or a group of gossiping girls or boys getting their hair done. The textures are amazing, the seating looks like a quick spray and wipe and NEXT! it is so realistic looking, I admire it every time I walk, run, fly past. The animations are so fun, there are gossip animations, that actually have you elbowing the person in the dryer next to you to engage with them…that was my favourite, but because I was solo I did the only thing I could think of and added a cellphone so that it looked like I was gossiping to someone somewhere else. There are so many options, even a consultant standing in front of you running through your options if you like, and as mentioned at the end someone comes by with a mop and clean up in aisle five, High 5 that is.
We are only a week in and I have had a lot of use out of the Linda hair by Loveholic at Hair Fair, I ended up using it for a video for Flair, and I just love the work that went into this in rollers style, and it works perfectly with the props of the Vintage Salon, especially seeing as the dryers stay up or down, so you can be encased in your Linda look. Not only does the hair have the hair and rollers, but also tendrils of loose curls that just add that realism, but another absolute win is that the hair base is the most beautiful finger curls base, that you could and should wear on its own. I loved it so much I included a pic.
My outfit was based on the idea that girls that salon, are going to do so not only looking fabulous but feeling comfortable, and what better way to show that than in leopard print sweats.
Then after those curls are let out and the hair is a whole gorgeous look, such as this Shy style by Monso for their Hair Fair exclusive, this style is so beautiful. I was chatting to a girl at the booth who is not usually a shorter hair wearer, and she just loved it. I feel the combination of Linda to Shy works so well, that I used that in my Flair video too. But Shy by name not by nature is the outcome, because getting my twirly dress groove on and out on the town I go.
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 – Analog Dog – I AM TOPANGA
I put this hair on at Hair Fair 2026 and started bouncing in my seat…I AM TOPANGA! and honestly I want to, and don’t want to tell you what that means. If you know you know, and if you do not know, you really should, and no one wants me to start lecturing you on your T.V watching habits, because someone may start lecturing me on mine. Let me just say that as soon as I found it was something I could see all seasons of on a streaming service, I clicked SUBSCRIBE so fast, then binged the whole thing in as long as it takes to only do that.
It makes sense to me that Analog Dog would create Topanga hair, it is just so perfect, the thick heaviness of the hair that cannot be tamed, and if you try you wish you hadn’t, because it is just gorgeous and heavy and beautiful. Last year Analog Dog hair was life changing too, the advertised colour was a mix with purple, and that does not go down with me usually, but I was in awe of how gorgeous the demo looked in that colour, that I bought it and wore the purple pink mix for a week. This year again I went with the mix pack, because the fade looks are just divine, and you also get some great solids in there. This comes in the left and right and both sides option with the hud, so I showed both the one siders.
I knew I had to lean in with the look, and this bandana top is a favourite of mine, in the prints and the solids, it is actually a gift in the Fashionably Dead Mainstore, and it is stunning, with these newer shorts, that have options to change the cords, the frills and the denim etc, so much versatility it all came together as a look perfectly.
Then you add in these bow sneakers by Breathe, that allow for a lot of customisation as well, and you have such a great combination of colours. I could wear this look for weeks and be blissed out every time I log in.
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 – About Love & Pr!tty – Love for Six Kennedy
Ok so in the last few years, whenever I see really big stomper shoes I always point out to Lexi Morgan/Cortes that these remind me of her…but it is a duo memory to be honest, and something that needs mentioning now especially. The first of the ‘Little Adorable Blondes’ – that is what those two were and one still is ♥ – that I met wearing such footwear was actually Six Kennedy, and Six Kennedy is one of the first Founders of Hair Fair, and I have a lot to be grateful to her for. I met her by shopping in her store Gurl 6 the Pinkest Place on Earth. I had IMd her to ask her about a top she was wearing in a picture of her hair, and she not only provided me with the information, she actually sent me the top. I was newish at the time, and this level of kindness was amazing. A few months later, I discovered the blog “Appearance Mode’ and realised that Six Kennedy was part of that project, so contacted her, and before I had even finished typing my many many words – I am sure – she had already contacted the blog partner and I was added as a Blogger – Team blogs were very much the normal back in 2006. Then early the next year after blogging like a person possessed multiple times a day – much like today – I had heard of her involvement in Hair Fair and had the idea for Bandana Day…and again before my IM had a chance to cool, she had me in a voice call with all the people involved and I was now part of the team, because if I wanted it to happen, I had to do it. So when I saw these shoes by Breathe, I knew that not only did I get to do my normal nod to Lexi, I got to have a heartfelt memory share of Six Kennedy who did so much for Second Life in her time here, that still carries on today…she even founded Fashion Emergency. I am so grateful to her, because she pretty much pulled me into the fold of multiple projects that I got to grow from. I really think that if Six was still in Second Life, she would be so proud of everyone that participates, that visits Hair Fair and just the whole Hair and Hair related community, she was a champion.
She would have loved About Love, their booth at Hair Fair is so cute, it reminds me of Barbie Perfume Maker, which I had as a kid, and as soon as I saw their booth, I wanted to play with it. I got all their hair, this is Romance the exclusive, and I knew instantly what I was going to wear with it, which also has the name Romance in it, which I did not realise until I put it on – there is that much missed Bloggers fate again. The hair is a beautiful waves style that has a slight side parting with options of behind shoulders as shown in the full length, left and right and in front of the shoulders. I do love the behind as we know, but I will keep saying – as we also know. Their styles are very film noir 1920s vibe, which I love, it was the inspiration as a time period for the Hair Fair build this year.
There is a matching skirt to this beautiful corset top by Fashionably Dead, but I wanted something more playful and when I realised that these thermal shorts fit under the hanging straps perfectly I got highly amused by it all. The concept was that upper me, was all romance and beauty and lower me was comfort, kind of the idea of being a gamer girl or webcam girl that is all seductive to the camera but as comfy as needed below the desk which amused me.
Then wanting to keep on that sort of gamer girl track, the fuzzy bear headband by Pr!tty was just perfect to finish off that look. So while the hair is very stylish and elegant, it can be playful which is so versatile. Then finishing off the look with the shoes that made me all teary and happy at the same time remembering Six, they are by Breathe and there is a lace covered option as well. I wanted to keep up with my comfy mode though.
Hair Fair is open until June 14th and ALL purchases made at the event donate to Wigs for Kids, Exclusives and previous releases.

Hair Fair 2026 – Wasabi
It is often that I find myself wearing Wasabi in blues…I am not sure why, but she just makes hair that looks fabulous in dye pack colours. I was very into the scarf hair look in the 90’s I wore my hair like that often, so this style just makes me blissfully happy. The only opinion I have on this is that I want more options of textures for the scarf and I want a whole range of solid colours, but the prints are so on point, it was the scarf that created the whole look. The style has the option of with or without scarf which is very generous of Wasabi to do, as that is a whole other hairstyle you get included. Then you have the falling front on one side option or the face showing option, I liked both so I used both in my picture, as that is just how that would work if I was standing around outside posing for pics.
This dress by Fashionably dead comes in a long variation also, but the short was just perfect for this day strolling look I was going for, however I cannot lie, the fact that the bottom is lace and comes with mesh underwear is a tad out of my normal comfort zone, I was struggling to remove my BOM underwear…at this point it was pretty much fused with my body. But the outfit is so adorable, I just know though that leggings in BOM layers is how I would more likely wear it out, but with the blue hair I was feeling adventurous – GO ME!
The dress and scarf hair had such a country girl in the city feeling for me, so the heels that think they are cowboy boots that think they are stilettos were just a no brainer. How cute are they, it is funny, because when you see hybrid footwear like this in RL magazines or pinterest etc, you may tend to scrunch up your face and think those people are nuts, but put them in Second Life and we are all in, and rightly so.

Hair Fair 2026 – No.Match Zibska & Nuve
The Zibska booth at Hair Fair 2026 is filled to the brim with stunning accessories. They all contain full texture HUDs and the ability in many cases to wear left or right, or full versions of the item. This Chinatsu set comes in left and right stick and then left and right falling petals, so there are so many combinations of wear.
I knew instantly that it was the perfect accessory for the No.Proof Hair by No.Match also at Hair Fair 2026, they compliment each other so well. The hair has forward of the shoulders or behind the back options on the styles panel of the HUD for the hair – options are fabulous.
From Fashionably Dead this Midnight top and skirt are so beautiful and the fabric choice is spot on. I loved being able to combine the colours of the accessories with the plentiful options of the clothing and that top is a dream to wear, it would look amazing also with pants.
In this case though I really wanted to show off the detailing of these gorgeous heels by Breathe. The Shibari like strapwork at the full lifted platforms of the soles just made them must haves to wear with this look, everything feel all bound and fabulous.
You can see my brows better in this style, these are one of the exclusives at Hair Fair from Nuve, who is my often go to brows dealer. I love their thickness but very curated look. Nuve definitely gives great brow.
Hair Fair is open until June 14th and ALL purchases made at the event donate to Wigs for Kids, Exclusives and previous releases.

Hair Fair 2026 – Navy & Copper
So this is my first blog post with pictures and writing in a year…I thought I was going to forget how to do it, but apparently not. I came prepared though, made sure that I took as many pics as possible with items from this years Hair Fair before a post, but then decided to do a singular pic per post, so that I can space it out a little bit. It is nice to be back blogging though.
This first Hair Fair featured item is Dream by Navy & Copper. I love the rocker chick vibe this hair gives, and it is their exclusive for the event. With different bangs and an asymmetrical choice on the style hud, this gives you enough options to create that look you are going for. I created a look that is a bit of a girly girl mix with the help of some Fashionably Dead and some Breathe, both will feature in most of the posts that I set up today and rightly so, I have some catching up to do.
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.

Happy in Second Life – Firestorm Beta viewer – PINNED GROUPS
Firestorm Beta Viewer has just added “PINNED GROUPS” options to their viewer, this is such exciting news as it can be so frustrating trying to find the right land group, or store group in the moment. While I understand that we can in fact just type in the name of the group, sometimes groups we use frequently do not have names that instantly come to mind, this will help keep things organised and probably shave off a few hours a year that we can spend shopping instead.
You can find the download information HERE on the Firestorm Website. Big thanks to their whole team as we come to the end of the year, for making our SLives fun and exciting with brilliant new features.

Second Life – Avatar Welcome Pack – Tutorial
It has been a very long time since I last did a post. I was taking a break that escalated into a much lengthier downtime than intended. I wanted to do a tutorial on the Avatar Welcome Pack, because even though it isn’t new to Second Life, it is now actively visible as a quick click-and-go option in the Second Life Viewer, the Firestorm Viewer, and other third-party viewers, and it will soon be added to the Mobile App experience as well.
I also felt it might remind people of its existence, especially those who may not have paid much attention when it went live in April this year. Having access to high-quality mesh bodies and heads without the usual costs is a huge benefit for everyone, both new and established residents. It also gives content creators a clear message: if every new resident is now instantly using a Legacy body, what more motivation do you need to include it in the bodies you create for?
Speaking of which, the Legacy brand has just updated their Discord option to a whole new studio-style setup. If you were in the older one, log in and follow the instructions to move over to the new experience.
I am very out of practice with filming, editing, and juggling all the creation balls without hitting myself in the face, so I apologise for any clunkiness along the way.
