Hair Fair 2026 – MyBags & Merit
I love hats in Second Life, and when they are made so well and we now have so many options for what we can wear with them, it just magnifies the joy. MyBags makes stunning hats and accessories and their Lakshmibai was a must have. The pearl detailing has texture change options and it just looks so pretty. It is a great military structured style that I just love in the pill box look for hats of this kind, and it worked perfectly with the ponytail and hairbase from Merit that you will see better in the next post on it, I get to wear it twice.
Putting together a whole ladies that lunch kind of look with some Rowne and some Coco, and it could be off to the races.

Hair Fair 2026 – Ade, AlaskaMetro and Ni-Ju
This years Hair Fair has had me changing my black hair look, more so than usual, or it feels that way after not blogging in a year. I also realised today that because of that I rarely look at my face. In Second Life I could be walking around without a face entirely. This hair by ADE has me wanting to look at myself all day long, the style is so beautiful and feminine and I just love that chatanooga choo choo of it all. I feel like I could walk into a Private Eyes office and convince him I am the innocent party, while it was me all along dun dun dunnnnn. I could have Gene Kelly sing a song about me that turns into a whole musical on rollerskates – if you know you know.
I knew that the Lucia hair was going to also be the perfect stage of the wonder that is the Kanzashi hair accessory by Ni-Ju. I saw it, and knew I just had to have it. What I didn’t know, because I bought it so fast I didn’t even bother to look if there was information I should be paying attention to, but it was a pleasant surprise to find out that there are left and right versions in three different looks, and I have two of the looks on in this ensemble, which is just awesome and makes me so happy.
Also making me happy, and a lovely balance with the hair colour change is the AlaskaMetro brows that are her exclusive for Hair Fair. They are going to definitely go into my rotation, as it is usually only AlaskaMetro that I change brows for from Nuve, so between the two of them I am covered and beautifully so. I also like how Alaska includes a lower option of brow, because while we do have brow shapes that change the height, arch and so on of our brows, having the brows themselves sit differently on the UV can make a world of difference to a look, so well done Alaska…always innovating.
Other things that make me happy, is going back to Hourglass by Slink because I realised that I was limiting myself so much with wearing Reborn and I had my ideal inventory already. That is not to say that I will not go back and forth, and I am lucky to be able to do so, but most of the posts have been Hourglass, and I am loving diving back into my items, because the way Second Life works and the fact that most items I have catered to multiple bodies, they are all still relevant, and as I have always said, everything old is new to someone, and I do love my older COCO ♥

Hair Fair 2026 – Sparkle Skye Creative & Opulein
Hair Fair and hair accessories always give me such a thrill, reason 5469874 why Mod perms are the best thing ever, as well as the fact that I honestly think that without Mod perms, many creators we have had over the years, would never have become creators. It is being able to move things about, tweak things and create something that maybe the creator didn’t intend that is so thrilling, as well as enough of a high to move some people into that creative momentum that leads them to creating items themselves from scratch and we just keep on benefitting from those moments.
Opulein created this unique take on a hairbase add on style hair, taking the ponytail into the base and wrapping it around the head, so that you have a bit more body to the style. The wrap over look at the tied off tail inspired me to grab the Cora pieces by Sparkle Skye Creative that is also at Hair Fair. There are two parts of this collection, the Cora combs and the Cora Hairsticks. I used both, because they both had something to offer this look. To make life easier on myself, and again BECAUSE THEY ARE MOD! – I hope you all heard me in the back – I rezzed a comb on the ground, shift dragged multiple copies of it into a line, and then linked them. Then attached them, and because they were a linkset of four, I was then able to move them into place. The even better part of the combs other than their beauty and lets just bask in that for a moment……………………………………………………………………………………is that they are separate comb to heart and gems etc, so that means that when rotating if you want to make sure the comb portion is more inside the hair, you can control that section separately, it was a dream to play with. then once in position I added the sticks which differ slightly as they have the roses at the base of the heart, and the sticks come in sizes, so that you can get the best look for the style, sometimes you need larger, sometimes more delicate, but remember they are MOD so you can do what you like size wise. I loved this experiment, because it looks so pretty, and it is all about the back more than the front, which is what most of us spend time looking at each day, and I felt this would make such a stunning wedding look.
So thank you to Opulein and Sparkle Skye Creative for inspiring me to have some fun with the combination. I hope that you can be inspired also.
Because of the wedding vibe of it all, I went with this stunning gown by Just Because, and it really added that extra elegance I wanted to show you.
