Inside The Rabbit Hole

PeepSideshow Darkward8 Comments

It’s all Home & Garden today; loads of pretty stuff from The Liaison Collaborative, plus a starring role by the lovely lamps from [ keke ] I showed the other day. While I love H&G, I do struggle with getting the right amount of clutter balanced with realism (or at least my version of realism). I tend to place things around the edges, leaving the centre bare. Which leads to me adding more things and moving stuff around until I barely recognise what I started out with. I do admire the work of dedicated H&G photographers; the credits alone make them worth their weight in gold!

This was supposed to be a completely different photo; I had to totally rework the credits after I finished processing and cropping. But sometimes the best intentions just go down the rabbit hole.

More dark fantasies from The Liaison Collaborative, ranging from spooky to sexy. These tentacles from [NC] – Noble Creations are both, while the hair from .:EMO-tions:. is naughty and nice. My eyes and makeup are different versions of the styles I wore in my post from a couple of days ago; I loved them so much I decided to give them a second showing.

In fact, I’ll give you a closer look:

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.
