Hair Fair 2024 – PADO Tardfish
A few styles have made me feel all mighty this year, and this PADO style with the addition of the adorable Birdy Tug Hair accessories by Tardfish is doing that again. I feel like I am a character in one of those ‘Kids of Superheroes/Mythology Gods Movies’ I of course am too old now to be the kid, but I am definitely one of the teachers or counselors that make appearances every 48 minutes. This hairstyle is lovely and sleek sided, but with the addition of these cute wing pins, I am Super Duper. The pins are separate and not rigged, so you can put them anywhere really, which is very cool.
The Tardfish accessories are very cute, the tendrils just fit against any hair you have, and the little birdies just flitter/animate about doing their thing. Because it can go with any style of hair, that is why you can feel Super Duper, or like a Disney Princess, your choice.
This look also gave me the chance to wear this outfit from Fashionably Dead, because it too made me feel Super :D.

Hair Fair 2024 – Augenweide The Little Bat
I am an 80s teen, I was in the perfect age when Rude Girls kind of did a second run through Australia, to really appreciate the beauty of the ‘look’, but it was definitely not something I would do to my own hair. I just had to admire it from afar, or close up, depending on the day. I knew one Rude Girl who had that perfect Elfish/Pixie look to her, other worldly kind of thing, that when she went Rude she did it like no other. I love hairbases, and I love add on styles, so when I put on this gorgeous hairbase from Augenweide – I can type that without looking, thank you Thorny for giving me new skills – I saw instantly what I wanted to turn it into. I grabbed the wisps from the Platinum hair add on style I showed the other day with the buns, and copy pasted them a few times to give a bit more, then added the adorable Kawaii clips from The Little Bat and made this Rude Girl look that I just love.
Again my inventory does not disappoint, because I knew I had the perfect dress from Pixicat to pull this all together. While I did not know it by name, a quick search of Pixicat + Dress + Reborn had me find it in moments. I love that we can still hybrid hairs in SL, that we are provided with the unrigged tools to pull that off, it really makes for some fun. That all the components are available at Hair Fair just makes it even better.

Hair Fair 2024 – Truth Sparkle Skye
I knew as soon as I saw this adorable fascinator hat by Sparkle Skye, what I was going to wear it with. Then the whole look came together, and when you have an inventory like mine, it is no wonder you have street lights just laying around for prop use – mind you they are also the same street lights I used at Hair Fair, so that tracks. I loved the idea of a dapper look, with the fascinator being so girly and feminine, I wanted to even out the scales there and add a bit of masculine to the look. Then it turned into a whole singing in the rain kind of vibe, and what better hair to pull that off with than the Breeze style by Truth.
What I like most about this hair, is that with the settings options for style, you can tame it down or really lean into the wind. Lucky my Kaori Mini Hat is well pinned on. Again I am playing around with the lovely colour options of this style, actually adding the streaks option for the soft greyish pink to the more grey overall colour, it really came out lovely just a subtle add to give more realism.
I have mentioned my underwear a few times this week, so wanted to point out that the bustier portion of the suit, is sheer, but can also be turned off…now we know I do not do sheer with nothing under, so I grabbed one of the newer underwear sets by Nuve the cherry set, and tinted the white lace away, and it was the perfect fit – I love me some mod! The hat is also mod, and I am going to be making it different sizes in future for different looks for sure. It also comes with net or silk fabric options, as well as feature options of colours depending on what packs you purchase.

Hair Fair 2024 – BlkBuni MyBags
I love the imagination of Second Life content creators, such as the case with this adorable netted hat by MYBags. It gives Steamboat Willy vibes – that is allowed now he is public domain…or kind of like a member of the extended family in mourning, either way I am here for it. What is even more funna, is that the style of hair from BlkBuni came with UNRIGGED – does a little dance – versions of the braids, so I was able to wiggle here and prod there and get them to sit well under the hat.
Again combinations of hats and add ons, just make for good clean fun. It is really fun to take the inspiration a creator had, and then just run all over with it, and make it your own. I am so glad we have such opportunities here, and it definitely gives me something to talk about. I added a nice red nod with the Legend earrings by Mandala, they are so fluffy and beautiful, with a lot of customising options, so the perfect accompaniment to the look.

Hair Fair 2024 – ADE Mewsery
As mentioned earlier in the week, usually my go to for hair is black, but the ADE Fatpack HUD had me doubting all my choices, not in a bad way, in a I need more heads way. I wanted to wear them all, so many incredible blends and colours to choose from. I really loved this brown grow out look, so I kept coming back to that and finally shot my picture. I was totally caught off guard by this hair, because the ad bore a striking resemblance to Sabrina Carpenter, and I was just about to say that to Adedarma while he was setting up his Hair Fair booth, when I realised that the name of the hair ‘Nonsense’ was one of her songs, that I had only just heard in the hour before that. I got hooked on Sabrina from her stint in ‘Girl meets World’ I thought she was amazing in that role, and while she is a great entertainer music wise, I still hope she does a whole lot more acting in future, I did also like “Work it” because I am a sucker for a dance movie.
I felt that I needed to change out the look a little though, so adding one of the Exclusive items by Mewsery this amazing headband, really gave it some fun and flavour. I am kind of giving off a dance video look – in my head this is a thing, so lets just let me live out my fantasy shall we. The headband is so cute, and has a lot of options with the HUD for customising it to your taste. I love the items Mewsery bought to her first Hair Fair, I am going to keep her forever now.

Shine a light on me
Wearing Sunday hair on a Sunday for me, means that you get to shop today and wear tomorrow and still be on theme. Of course why would you want to limit yourself this hair is wonderful. Not only is the style great, but the scarf option and its texture change colours and prints just makes it so many options of wear. There is also an unrigged without scarf option, so just from the start it is two styles in one.
It is the last 10+ hours of My Attic for this round, and I will be sorry to see it end…I have met some lovely people at the event, as well as had some comical occurances. I of course have my own Flair items up, some being the Flair nails, and others being the combined efforts of W.Winx and Flair. We did a fun pose prop set, three of them actually with playing cards and pin up style poses, you can see ours, as well as everything HERE.
Collabor88 is also in it’s last week, with the items being shown today being just perfect for the theme. The Betty swing dress is from The Secret Store, and it is a great swishy dress, for swishing and swaying all over the place. There are other colours and prints, but this black was amazing, it is not easy to get black to look perfectly black and still have some shine to it, but this dress has that in spades. It also has a texture change belt option, so I added some contrast with the red, seeing as red, white and black look so striking together.
It also gave me the chance to take my new pet poodle by MishMish for a stroll around my studio. Not only is it so sweet looking, but if you click on it, you get really nice messages of love and fun, then also when you walk it walks and when you sit it sits.
If its only 10+ hours left of My Attic, then that means it is only 10+ hours left until the opening of The Arcade. Two of the items in this post are must haves from the event. The first is the light I am leaning against. It is by 8f8 and not only is it perfectly pretty and I really wish it was possible to get copy versions of them for decorating a sim…but it also has a resize script in it, which worked out great, otherwise it would not have been visible in my picture. It is actually part of an incredible Ice Dreams set you can see more of on the shopping guide linked below.
The other items are these Jolie shoes by Ingenue, they are made for the Slink High feet, and are a lovely extremely high vintage style shoe. Honestly with that high a heel it is no wonder I need to lean against a light and rest my gams. I don’t usually wear stockings, but as soon as I put this look together I knew it needed them…off I went down to Lacuna Inc and there were the Semi Opaque hipster tights. They come in packs of four colours and work with appliers for Slink feet as well.

Soft Serve
I often wonder what would happen if I just did a credits only blog post. We joke all the time about it, how people would assume that there was more being said by me not talking, than if I was to talk, because I generally talk so much. I wonder about that, if people that do read my blog would be surprised if I just suddenly had no words, would you ?
I was hopping around today and came across this store on marketplace, Amiable. I really wanted to see if they had more than their MP listings though, because you can never really tell if someone keeps their marketplace up to date or not, without visiting in world on occasion, or being up to date with their released through subscribo’s or group notices. I also wanted to see if this divine dress had any more options, as I was sold on the white, but I was still trying to choose between it and some of the florals.
The white won me over though, as there is a need for this style of dress in all white, that every girly girl needs in her life. There is alpha loading in the dress, and even though my hair is long and rigged at the front, be aware that the alpha in the hair will mess with the alpha in the sleeves – I photoshopped mine – but you can just wear different hair, because the dress is just that beautiful, but pay attention when demoing.
The style, the a line style and just how adorable it is, makes it all win. I knew that I wanted to have equally awesome hair for it, and when I saw the NEW RedMint style had this amazing cap in white, with a trim that I could match to the brown trim of the dress collar it was a perfect match. The hair actually has two tone options, but I just wanted that brilliant black to really contrast against the innocence of the white and brown. The hat has a hud option for hat and band, so you can play around with that, and the black hat with white band looks awesome.
The look is finished off with the strappy Seattle shoes from Essenz, which I have been wearing off and on all week, because even though white shoes are not usually my go to, this style just had to be in white for me, and the combination of this look is fantastic.
What better way to look all white and frothy, than in front of a Milkshake Vending Machine, the Collabor88 item by Flowey for this round. How cool is this thing, I did have to make it bigger though. It seemed too small to me for a vending machine, and yay mod. There are other colours and no milkshake in the opening option, as well as being able to get a milkshake to hold from it. Must have items if you just want to add some fun to your sim or your home, I think it suits our studio perfectly.

Itsy Bitsy Spider
I love that most of the items at My Attic this round looked like they were all one set, but actually broke into wearable pieces in their own right. One such item is the gorgeous Maxi Dress 2 piece sets from Girl Thursday. You can actually see Whimsy with the top of the dress in the same colour HERE. The belt on the skirt and the way it sits, is just perfect for this sensational top from Tulip. Honestly that store kits you out from head to toe, when there a month or so ago, I was lucky to get out without picking up the whole store. The front of the top is just beautiful, but the back is WOWZA!
I also love that the colour matches perfectly with the Toronto heels from Essenz, another of the stunning sets of Slink Add-ons that they have created, and this brown is just lovely. They come in 6 colours the shoes, and if it is your style of shoe, then check out the fatpack pricing.
The Arcade is starting on Sunday, and all of SL is a Twitter, and a Plurk and a Facebook with chatter about it. The hair I am wearing today is the LA version of London to LA by Exile, and both styles are just too perfect as updo’s that can be both casual or glamorous. If you have not seen the shopping list for The Arcade this round you are going to need to start selling things and maybe even cash in a 401K or two ( I don’t really know what a 401K is, but they say it a lot on TV ) The collections are superb, and this time around I am going to be hitting machines harder than I have ever done in the past, because there is just so much want and need and needing to want and wanting to need.
I am super excited about the Nylon Oufitters collection, because I have recently purchased three items from her RL selection on Society6 and they are coming soon to my RL and I cannot wait. One of the items is actually in world with The Arcade items, it is the most awesome artwork, and I am so excited that I will be able to have it in both worlds. If you have not shopped her Society6 store for yourself, then do so for others, because I cannot imagine anyone anywhere not wanting something from this selection as a gift, I chose totebags as my purchases, but there are cushions, art prints, phonecases and so many more options, I think I am going to have to get a clock as well.
Nylon Pinkney on Society6
The skin and Visage appliers for the Slink Visage head I am wearing, are again by YS & YS. This is India, and she is so pretty, I was having a hard time choosing between the selection of new faces for the Visage appliers there, but this tone was perfect for my look, and there are tones from light to dark all the way through. I do wish that YS & YS would do tones of the one face though, because you can get attached to a face and just want to go lighter or darker on seasons.

It was an incredible day running all over the grid today. The highlight was getting to talk to Essenz Shoe creator Senzati0n Domenitzo. Her store is full of incredible footwear, not only her own foot in feet shoes, but also recenly she has added Slink Compatibility and the styles are flawlessly beautiful. A fun and easy way to keep track of the names of the styles, is that they are all named after cities from all over the world. Today I am wearing Cancun, a stunning ankle boot open toed look with a multitude of thin straps from toes to ankle. The textures on these and all the footwear I managed to walk out with, are just superb…you will be seeing a lot of Essenz in the future from not only me, but anyone with a love of truly stunning footwear.
I am not sure how my style went from what I had on at the start, to how I ended up at the finish, but on our travels we visited not only SHE & HIM but also the Dark Style Fair, both of which are Flair for Events events…not to be confused of course with Flair the store I own :P. We had a great time, and the Cancun shoes are actually part of the She & Him event.
From top to toes I added along the way to my look. The top being this adorable batwing headband, not sure really if adorable works with this idea, but I think it is just too cute. It fits beautifully in the upcoming divine updo style London, created by Exile for The Arcade. The Arcade June edition will start June first and you will need this hair in your life. There are two styles actually, one is London one is L.A and they both have glasses you can wear with them. I will save those for later. But the softness and just so pretty whispy parts falling loose from this style make it a go to look.
Then I came across this amazing neck corset/facemask by Lou Lou and Co. beautifully lacey and a perfect fit over my Slink Visage mesh head. I am wearing the small. It did come with many sizes, and very impressive it also had a demo. There is a white version you can get also, but it was the black I was smitten with.
This reminded me that in our past travels we had visited Tentacio and picked up this corset, with a really cool cage tutu look. The corset comes with a hud so that you can change the colour of the cage part, but I went with the black. Fitting perfectly underneath it, and in the right look for it, the bodysuit from Maitreya comes through again.
The beautiful skin I am wearing is by YS&YS it is the Greta skin, that not only is available as a skin on the default avatar, but now you can also purchase appliers for your Slink Visage head. There are hair bases, eye shadows and lipstick options in matte and glossy, with a great price. The hand and feet appliers you purchase in the area of the main skin, so that you get the correct skin tone. I really love how the skins look with the Slink head, and am looking forward to blogging in the other skins available.
Make sure you all visit all three events, at least you have two great ones to keep you going until The Arcade starts.
