Memories Of Days Gone By

Bento has brought a lot of new innovation to the grid. In addition to changeable mesh heads and hand gestures, the addition of new bones to the head has allowed movement of mesh hair. There are several designers who have Bento hair available at Hair Fair 2017, my favourite of which is the No.50’17 ( A N I M A T E D ) from redMint. This is a fabulous style with gentle movement; a far cry from the fast-flowing locks of flexi days. Paired with the asymmetrical cut and we have a winner.

I have linked to the Hair Fair location of the designers I am featuring in the credits, or you can refer to this post for the full list. Find your favourite Bento animated hair and strut proudly, thinking of your own memories of days gone by…hair swaying, not flapping.

On The Threshold

We are finally on the threshold of Hair Fair 2017. It starts in just a few hours (midnight, if I’m not mistaken). In the meantime, I have a couple of things you can do to keep you occupied.

First, visit Japonica. This is a themed event that celebrates the Japanese culture. The Niche dress from Salt & Pepper is a beautiful example. The flowers across the bodice preserve your modesty, despite the sheer top. The dress can be purchased in either single colours and of course, the amazing fatpack. The flowers are colour-change via HUD and with the fatpack you can mix and match the tones of the bodice, waist and skirt for your favourite combination.

After you have completed your shopping excursion, you need to join the free Hair Fair demo group, to get you ready for your shopping spree. To join, copy and paste the following into local chat in Second Life and join the Hair Fair DEMO Group

The designers are loading this group so you can choose your favourites before heading out to shop. With four full sims, that’s a lot of designers and a lot of demos! Best of all, a portion of all proceeds go to Wigs for Kids, a fabulous charity that donates wigs to children with illnesses or treatments that cause hair loss. Hair Fair is a wonderful way to feel good about spending your money, knowing that you will be helping to make a difference in a child’s life.

Step over the threshold; you have things to do.

Exit This Way

The June edition of BishBox is out with a theme of “Rock Rebel”. This round is as edgy as always, with a great selection for the fashion-forward female of Second Life.

Better associated with jewelry, MINIMAL offers a great tank top, well-rigged for the Maitreya Lara body. (Yummy) gives you a tough-chick choker and DAPPA fits the theme with the Misfit Tattoo. The ponytail from [NANI] gives you an “I don’t give a damn”, no-nonsense look that works perfectly with the Rebel set with poses from Come Soon Poses.

Head for the exit. It’s time to start rocking.
