Bandana Day, Baby

PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

Traditionally, the last Sunday of Hair Fair is designated “Bandana Day.” Second Life residents are encouraged to wear a bandana in support of the children who are undergoing treatments or have diseases that cause hair loss. Since the beneficiary of 100% of sales of bandanas sold at Hair Fair go to Wigs for Kids, you can feel good about supporting this cause with a lovely fashion statement.

Each of the four Hair Fair sims has a Bandana Booth, so no matter where you land you can pick out your favourites. I picked up several on my first visit and chose to wear the style from alaskametro<3. It has lovely texturing and a delightful shine. It works perfectly with the bikini from Blueberry at the July round of Collabor88, which in turn shows off this lovely tattoo from PurpleMoon Creations at The Liaison Collaborative. A wonderful triumvirate of fashion.

So, go indulge yourself at Hair Fair. It’s almost Bandana Day, Baby.

No Disguise For Tears

PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

I have been doing quite a few portraits lately, mainly to highlight styles from Hair Fair. I am not an expert at head shots, but this is another one I have done in the last couple of weeks. When an event that benefits a wonderful charity (Wigs for Kids) rolls around, I think it’s my responsibility to truly make that product the focus of my work.

The hair I am wearing is called TOZASHI from ayame ame, one of several new-to-me designers I love from Hair Fair 2017. The braid which covers one eye is optional via HUD. The sleek bob is a classic, and will work with any more conservative look while adding the braid gives you an edgier look. I adore styles that give you a choice with the simple click of a button.

I am once again featuring makeup from Zibska at the July round of The Liaison Collaborative. While I don’t normally wear bright-coloured makeup, these palettes just work for me. That makes me happy.

No disguise for tears. No substitute for happiness.
