    Hair Fair 2024 – Augenweide The Little Bat

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    Hair Fair 2024 – Lamb Nuve The Annex

    Hair Fair 2024 - Lamb Annex Nuve

    No catchy title this time, but I am having a moment of absolute beauty right now. The combination of items came together without any planning, and when that happens, as I always say, it is ‘Bloggers Fate’. The Daisy hair from Lamb was an adorable thing to watch come about as the Exclusive. Lamb set up her booth fairly early at Hair Fair, then kept coming back and tweaking, and adding, and moving, and adding, and it all turned into a lovely showcase of her New and previous work in a little vignette. The booths at Hair Fair this year have been just fantastic, and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I have been.

    This Daisy style has these beautiful monarch butterflies – I only know that because of the show Under the Dome – as separate attachments, in both animated and static options. You can add as many or as few as you like, and they really add to the look. But if butterflies are not your thing, you can wear the style without them, and there is a lot of style in this hair, the waves are so soft and luxurious. The Style HUD options are only available in particular packs, so make sure you read everything and try the demos first to be sure of your purchase, as you should do with all Second Life purchases…demo! demo! demo!

    Now my brows are another great get for Hair Fair this year, in the form of Nuve…my inventory is getting full of Nuve of late, because I am all about her BOM underwear layers, I wear bom underwear with everything, even if using an alpha layer, because they stay no matter what the rezzing is like. So my favorite wearables is many packs of Nuve undies. I have also been binging her skins and brows options…so to have some of the Newest release brows for Hair Fair had me very happy. Many Nuve brows are unisex, which means they are often a heavier brow depending on the style, and I love that, even wearing her Male specific brows for the past few weeks, much to Gogo’s horror, which just makes me like them even more.

    Atop of my luxurious locks is this incredible crown by The Annex. This is a previous release item at Hair Fair and it is so many things, all happening separately and at the same time together, that makes sense to me, if you do not understand me, send me a notecard and I will explain with even more words…as I do. No really do not do that, I just mean that you can look at this crown and think you have seen all it is in one look, but then discover something else, then another thing, for instance when I purchased it, I was so wrapped up in the crosses and flowers, that I completely missed the butterflies, that is what I meant by this look not being planned, because I did not realise even when adding it, that the crown had butterflies at all. Truly beautiful…and while I was feeling all soft and majestic at the same time, I added a lovely bodysuit from AlaskaMetro also bakes on mesh, to keep it all pretty.

    Hair Fair 2024 – Mirja Sigma AlaskaMetro James & Dew

    Hair Fair 2024 - Mirja Sigma AlaskaMetro James & Dew

    It sounds like a really high end law firm, or I am getting my Military Alphabet all messed up. Either way the talent involved is epic, such is the case of the whole assortment of creators that are part of this years Hair Fair 2024, which is now open. You can get more information on that HERE – only exclusives shown on the website, so much more to see at the event.. Hair Fair has now included previous releases as an option with the must have Exclusive item in the event. So this gives even more of a showcase of the talent of the creators participating, while you get to buy things you may not have seen in the past and also donate to Wigs for Kids as every purchase donates, previous and exclusive.

    I did that thing that I do, where I end up adding weird things to things, to make the idea that I have in my head, and because James & Dew made this incredible hair prop, styling system I had to go a bit further and add a lock of hair, so that it really looked like I was putting the final touches to this gorgeous style by Mirja. It has the perfect sleek and full look of a black and white movie star, and it is glorious.

    Now more often than not I have black hair, sometimes a splash of colour and occasionally I go blonde, but when I put on these fantastic laminate lashes by AlaskaMetro – we finally got her into Hair Fair “SLIFE GOALS FOR SASY” – the dark brown look was one I wanted to really work with. So today I am a brunette with highlights!

    Sigma also joining us for Hair Fair with one of their amazing hair accessories creations, this leaf clip is so beautiful and comes in an assortment of metal options, so you will be the belle of the ball with such an adornment.

    Back to the prop and decor of the James & Dew item, this handheld option has numerous attachment options that you can toggle between, as well as a vast array of colours to choose from. Then poses and animations built in to create your perfect capture. The whole collection has a beautiful leather carry case, that you can rez in your home and/or studio space, with a neatly packed or messy look. You are going to want to go to Hair Fair to see all the options, as well as everything so far shown.

    Skin Fair 2024 – Fallen GA\EG

    Mermaid Grief

    GA\EG have both a Male and Female head at Skin Fair 2024. I am showing Inaya that works with both SL UV and Evox so you are covered. This came in handy for me, as the Skin that I also featured did the same, giving me the ability to use some other makeup enhancements that I had from Izzie’s and AlaskMetro to round out the look. 
    Fallen Gods created this amazing skin called Opal, it comes in a full skin layer with the additional tattoo/Aux layers for alternative wear. It also comes with PG versions, which made me super pleased, because this very oceanic themed lingerie set was a little exposing, so that just felt great to be able to not be concerned especially as I went on location for the shoot, and found this stunning underwater world, with this display case coffin that was just so serene and made me have all the feelings. It was a really special place, so I hope you can go and have a look around, they even have Mermaid chat events on Saturdays in a pavilion underwater, which is just the coolest thing. Now being an Australian I am all about the Opals, but it is March and that also means fishy time, so I mixed land and sea for the post. I mean if someone handed you an Opal for the first time ever and told you it was some kind of ocean gemstone, you would definitely believe them, I know I would.

    The head, so much to say about the head. First of all the hud is robust, that is about the best word I can come up with for it, because this thing is doing all the heavy lifting. A full page of features for everything, but my favourite things are the broom icon so you can sweep your layers clear – made me laugh – you can also just toggle hide and show if you want to keep them for next time. The sliders for glow and opacity for most things, the presets were awesome too, but the ability to then tint etc, which I did with this look. One of my favourite things though was the 3D Lashes option, you get regular lashes in various styles/lengths, but then you also get mesh lashes, so that there is no issue with alpha clipping, and you can use both which I did, to just give a better look especially for photos. There is also an animation HUD that has options for upper and lower of the face, looped and static (how I kept my eyes closed) and more. The head comes with skins, lipsticks, tattoos, gestures, shapes, back up HUD and as mentioned it has different UV options. So many things to try so give it a twirl around Skin Fair and see how you like it.

    Gather & Nest – A New Blog Collaboration

    I was recently privileged to be asked to join Gather & Nest as a writer. I cannot lie, I begged to be included! Gather & Nest is the brainchild of Gorgeous Aurelia (of Juicybomb fame), with smatterings of ideas from her friends who share her interests. It will cover a range of topics related to Linden Homes, Linden Land, décor, and setting up a home for your Second Life. There will be interviews – of which I just posted one here recently. So I do hope that you will wander on over, add it to your bookmarks, and join us on this adventure.

    SL16B – Gifts – Linden Homes – Exhibits

    SL16B_Logo_Final

     

    If I timed this right this post should hit the stands just as Second Lifes Sweet 16th is open to the public. It opens at 10am SLT on the 20th of June 2019 and it is going to be an exciting event. The Hop & Shop as mentioned yesterday has gifts in every booth, and there are a hundred stores as part of this wonderful event. All booths also have discounted items, starting at 20% and going up as high as 75%.

    The clothing and accessories worn in today’s post are all GIFTS at the event. Even my Slink Hourglass Bundle is discounted during the festivities as are the Physique Original Body Bundle and the Physique Male Bundle, the shoes I have on are the Slink gift for women at the event.

    I have included pictures of all the booths, and you can see how amazing this event will be and how much time you will truly need to cover it all.

    Second Life 16th Birthday Hop & Shop Event.gif

    Also part of the SL16B celebrations is the reveal of the new Linden Homes theme. The theme is very different than the builds so far, and for those wanting to not just live somewhere but actually cohabitate these will be so much fun. I am already looking forward to immersing myself in these themes many opportunities for community development and role-playing scenarios. I can also see a full region of pink in the future because nothing will be more fun than getting all the neighbours on board with that idea.

    Second Life 16th Birthday - Linden Homes Theme Reveal.gif

    I ran into Patch Linden while he was going over the showcase area, and he was very pleased with the plans for these and other homes in the future. He also has a Meet & Greet planned for this coming Monday – Calendar of Events – so that he can answer questions about all things Linden Homes related. As this is just a rough layout keep in mind that the Moles are hard at work creating the final layouts of these new areas, and I cannot wait to see them finished. I actually saw the new Taylor Swift video a few hours after running into Patch and laughed hysterically at how just on point the Lindens are.
    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkk9gvTmCXY&w=560&h=315]

     

    The Sweet 16 inspired theme of the overall event is throughout the many regions dedicated to it, and if you explore the exhibits done by many Second Life Residents it is fun to see their own take on this Retro vibe. Old Movie Theatres, Beach Party scenes and some very big statues, with bubbles and puppies and even a huge hydrant and cuffs dedicated to first responders. Take the time to visit all aspects of this great time of the year.

    Second Life 16th Birthday Welcome area & Exhibits.gif

    One of my favourite sections was the time capsule like build, with all the years’ history of Second Life gathered together. I won’t say I was not disappointed to not see ‘and along came Sasy Scarborough’ in the 2006 section but I did squeal with delight at Hair Fair being mentioned as that was also its very first year.

    Another exciting thing that Patch told me was that the four new avatar looks at the Welcome area on the Pizazz region are for limited SL16B time only, so make sure you grab them as a memento of the visit.

    Then when you zoom over to the Hop & Shop you can start collecting all the gifts and shop like a crazy person like I did, and look as fabulous as I feel right now.

    Second Life – Sweet Sixteen – Shopping Event and More

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jcm98g0iIc&w=560&h=315]

    Video provided by the organisers of this great event.SL16B_Logo_Final.png

    Sixteen years and counting. With still so many familiar faces sharing the experience, Second Life is an incredible creation. While it has its ups and downs nothing will ever replace the absolute joy this virtual world has given to millions over the years.

    On any given day you will find people sharing this grid with friends and family, meeting new people and discovering new things. I have never experienced anything as complex and as equally charming as Second Life and its people.

    I myself, and hundreds of people I know and have known throughout the years often came into Second Life as just something to do, and they stayed acquiring knowledge and skills they could never have imagined. While just the shopping and existing curve are quite steep in SL, it is the creative side of things that just unlocks the doors into so many opportunities to advance. I for one – as novice as I am on most fronts – am just so very grateful to this platform for giving to me and to others such a valuable gift.

    The Birthday Celebrations start on the 20th of June at 10am, and you will not want to miss out. Not only are there displays and experiences throughout the regions, but there is also a sneak peek of the newer Linden Homes soon to be launched. A great sounding Music Faire and some chances to meet some Lindens with some Town Hall meetings scheduled.

    One of the large events is the Hop & Shop event that comprises of 100 stores with amazing discounts on all items included in their booth, and the booths are huge. The discounts start at 20% and I even saw a 75% sign. On top of the discounts, every store also has a gift item/s out for the taking and the few that showed the gifts, let me just say you will be needing to ice your mouse clicking finger after repetitive let me into the regions clicking. Do not despair though, they have made sure that there are plenty of regions allocated to the event, as well as camming regions on the ends. It is very well spaced out and easy to navigate, however, pack yourself a lunch and some snacks, and keep hydrated, you will be in for the long haul.

    There are many familiar stores, and some even new to me, which is unusual, so I am very excited overall for this event, the layout is like a super mall, and it really did make me miss malls of the past, going to one region and having multiple stores to explore, even if then teleporting to their main.

    I suggest derending all the people or setting to friends only which you can do in your menus. Turn down your draw distance as low as needed, but maybe at least 72 as 34 may be a bit short for such a big event.  I do my usual thing and keep the stores to my left side and just keep going, that way you are sure to hit all of them. Whimsy is more of a zig-zag lady.

    You have until the 8th of July but do not forget to visit or at least space it out if you do not do everything at once, and trust me the discounts are epic.

    I will be adding pictures once the event is live, as well as some images of new Linden Homes and some of the wonderful displays done by Residents at the celebrations, you will need to open up your next few weeks to get it all in, but so worth it.
