Modesty

1 Modesty sm

The day that every Second Life fashionista has been awaiting has arrived: Hair Fair 2016 is open!

I was privileged once again to have early access, and I took full advantage of it (as usual). I will be flooding my blog with posts that feature items from Hair Fair over the coming days…maybe even weeks! No matter what your preferred style, there is something there for you – I guarantee it! And since a part of every purchase goes to Wigs for Kids, you can leave your guilt at the sim edge when you arrive.

You can click on the Hair Fair link above to take you to the blog – there are photos there of all of the styles, plus a SLurl to the sim that hosts each designer. There is a central landing point on each sim, but if you use those SLurls, you should give you a beacon that leads you to the hair of your dreams.

For the best way to try before you buy, join the free-to-join Hair Fair Demo Group.

Today I am wearing Modesty from Atelier Pepe. It is the perfect hat hair! If you have every shied away from buying a hat in Second Life because it is so hard to find hair to wear with it, get this style! It just so happened I received a new hat to blog for JfL Real Hats today, so it was serendipity that I found this hair. Just one click of the resizer on the hat, a very slight positional change, et voila! A great style for using with your chapeau!

I will mention that I got this hair by accident. I intended to buy a different style (Natural) from this designer, but it was mis-packaged. I have sent the creator a notecard to let her know (and I’m sure I’m not the only one). She wasn’t online when I contacted her, but I am sure she will rectify this as soon as possible. As it turns out, it was a blessing in disguise.

As for getting there, I have listed a SLurl to each of the four sims below. Also check the Hair Fair blog – there are two additional cam shopping sims. You can find all of the information there.

There is a group on Flickr for your Hair Fair photos, but I forgot to grab the link before I logged off. I guess you’ll have to check back later when I post the link 😉
EDIT: Here is the link to the Hair Fair 2016 Flickr group.

Hair Fair 2016 Photo Contest & Bandana Day

1 Caught in a snow shower sm

There are only a few days left to enter the Hair Fair 2016 Photo Contest. Entries close on July 1st, so you really need to get snapping!

I have done two entries this year; I don’t think I’ll have time to do anymore, but the limit is five entries, so I have some wiggle room in case I get a bit of inspiration. The photos in this post are my two entries.

Even more important, kits are still available to create your own bandana for Bandana Day! Click the link for all of the instructions on receiving your kit, creating your bandana and what to do once you have it finished. The deadline is July 6th, so you have time to create something amazing! To make it even easier, all you need to create is a texture – the actual bandana is included in the kit! And there is a link to a tutorial on how to do it, so there really is no excuse not to!

For the second year, I will be contributing my own bandana to benefit Wigs for Kids. Nope, I’m not a designer, but if even a few of you take pity on me and make a purchase (still only 50L each – what a bargain!), it will help this marvelous cause that little bit more.

I am even giving you a sneak peek of my creation – look out for it at the Bandana Day booths that will be found on each sim!
