Hair Fair Kiks Off!

1 KIK_Banksia

Hair Fair 2015 is officially open!

I was fortunate enough once again this year to be selected for early access. I have to say, the sims look magnificent, and they are easy to navigate. I have no doubt that they will be much laggier than I experienced since I know they will be packed, but persevere! It is well worth the patience required. While you wait to get in, you can join the Hair Fair Demo Group, and this year, there are two additional adjacent sims you can cam shop from. For the details, read on. Full instructions for joining the group and slurls to all of the sims can be found later in this post, or by checking the Hair Fair website.

This year, as I have in the last two years, I found a “new to me” hair designer that I just love! [kik]hair is my find this time around and I am sporting it in my lead photo. And if you venture beyond the cut, you can see more – plus all of the Hair Fair info I promised and a surprise!

Walking Away

1 Sunset Rapture

If I had hair like this, I swear I would walk backwards all the time. While I don’t wear a lot of Truth hair, it’s not because the man lacks talent. This style, with the gorgeous French braid, the little flyaways around the face and neck gives it such a touch of realism I feel compelled to tuck them behind my ear. Flowers? Butterflies? That just hits my girly squeeee point right off the charts.

Teamed with an adorable romper and boots that look as good from behind as from the front, I’ll happily watch the world while the world watches me walk away.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

Romper: Tee*fy Lana V-Neck Romper – S – Sundancer by Azure Electricteeth (available at Uber Feb. 25 – Mar. 23 2015)
Boots: Maitreya Radical Boots Russet by Onyx LeShelle

In Dreams

1 In Dreams

My internet connection lately has been more of a nightmare than a dream. I spent several hours on Sunday trying to replace my modem (which I had replaced just a few months ago), only to discover that it is faulty. So I suffered through drops and a slow connection to take this photograph. For the first time in ages, I didn’t shoot on Ultra-high graphics. And I was not happy about it.

Tonight after being booted from Second Life after never fully rezzing and having my browser take minutes instead of seconds to refresh, I called my ISP. After several tests, we determined that I had a bad filter on my line. Instantly I went from a sickening 347 kbps to 7314 kbps with a new filter, I did a little happy dance. Even before I started having these major speed issues, I was only getting around 4350 kbps.

OK, so maybe that’s a bit nerdy; I don’t really care. To me, my internet speed is now the stuff that dreams are made of.
