Hair Fair 2026 – Opale & Inkdependent
When I saw this Koi head piece by InkDependent, I had to stop myself from squeeling all over discord, because it was earlier than set up, and I did not want to scare the other participants in the event. They always do such beautiful work on their booth and their releases and as a Fishy water sign, this just made me so excited. It also gave me a chance to use a backdrop prop I purchased in 2018 and still had not unpacked – sometimes you just have to own things. Opale also has lovely items at their booth this Hair Fair and while this is not their exclusive it is a past release and was a new to me style. I do love hair that has a bit of motion for a good photo op and this one has that as one of the options in the style section of their hud, I love the tucked behind shoulders option, as well as the no tendrils tucked behind ears look, so versatile a style, making it not just a photo op style.Originally when I put on the Opale demo, I was loving the blonde, and I do still, Opale has those blondes that make you want to be blonde, but I went with the darker for the picture, because I was feeling all about me. I went rummaging in my inventory for some scales, and of course the beautiful Izzie Button came through, some mermaid scales, some sand, all beautifully applied to my Slink Hourglass body, with a cute tankini look by White River Co. which was an Elikatira and Friday collab. I just loved the idea that my mermaid self came out of the ocean, grew some legs, kept my scales and stole some clothing from a random beach clothes line, bringing along some of my friends who could of course miraculously stay alive out of water. I think I next leveled Disney a bit here. That is ok though, because I am the boss of me.
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 – Sigma & Merit
I mentioned that I was wearing Merit hair from Hair Fair in a previous post, the post HERE. Now you can see the ponytail hairbase style in more detail. Previously worn without the add on bangs, so that it fit perfectly under the hat, this time the bangs have been added. It is a lovely low pony, the tail so stunningly thick and heavy. This time being worn with the gorgeous Lydia hair accessory by Sigma also at Hair Fair, now this attachment is shown as being worn at the back of the head, so of course, I spun it around to wear it at the front, and also at the back, a two for one opportunity for gorgeousness. You could opt for only wearing at the back, or only at the front, or both as I have done, but either way it looks amazing and the front reminds me of one of my favourite shows growing up – which I have mentioned a few times over the years – The Secrets of Isis, where the main star wore a beautiful gem detailed circlet at the front, and she was like Egyptian Wonder Woman.
Easily turned around and sized into position, the texture hud comes in both blinn phong and pbr textures and just looks great. It made me feel very Fae so with this beautiful gown from Just Because I could see myself striding through the forest in this look very easily.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
