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

secondlife:///app/group/2e30d166-f3e5-e2de-ff72-b3da2d06ded2/about

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.

New Beginnings, Happy Endings

I honestly can’t believe that 2017 is half over! We passed the winter solstice here in Australia about a week ago and are heading toward spring. July will soon be upon us.

The end of June is a new beginning for the mega-event, Uber. It has been open for just a few days with a Camping theme and *Just BECAUSE* has this great tank top that is designed to fit perfectly with a pair of shorts. Another late-in-the-month event is the subscription box, BishBox, which releases at noon on the 20th of each month. Those shorts I mentioned are from the June round and come in three delicious leather textures. It’s not too late to head to the BishBox Headquarters and grab your box (3000L post-release vs. 1500L pre-release).

The happy ending I mentioned is The Arcade, where you can pick up these adorable sandals from fri.day. What is happy about this? Well, for the next few days (until June 30th) you can easily get into the event to try your luck at the most popular gacha event on the grid. No desperate multiple TP attempts, no waiting ages for things to rez and all of the glorious gacha goodies for the taking! Well, for the buying. But let’s not quibble over semantics…

It’s all about the happy endings.
