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!

Can Anyone Spare A Dime?

1 Can anyone spare a dime sm

A quarter? Fifty cents? A phone card? I have no idea how much a call from a payphone costs anymore or if phone cards still exist!

Who really cares; you have more important things to do, like heading to Summerfest ’16 to pick up this flirty dress from Apple May Designs. Yes, it’s a dress (with matching panties, thank goodness!) but it could double as a swimsuit just as easily. Just don’t send me the dry cleaning bill!

As promised, this is a peek at another of the rooms at Furillen. They’re all quirky and fun. Schedule a visit today; you don’t have to call ahead for reservations.

Coming Up For Air

1 Coming up for air sm

I love this picture.

I was playing around on the edge of my land and hit the slope into the water. As I stood there, trying to find some props for a completely different shot, my avatar began slipping downward into the depths of the Linden Sea. With my head stuffed in my inventory, I wasn’t quite sure where I had gone! I cammed around to find myself and stumbled upon this awesome angle through the water. I quickly saved my camera view and tried out various poses until I found the one I needed. Then the fun began: Windlight settings! The cloud coverage became my ripples, the stars became the basis of the bubbles, and the lighting became the deep blue-green of the ocean.

I ended up merging two shots to create this one, but other than a few extra bubbles, this is what I was seeing through my camera lens.

All of this was to highlight the amazing ruffled bikini by Valentina E. for Summerfest ’16. Go forth and shop. But don’t forget to come up for air.
