Bandana Day 2012 – from Gidge

As Cajsa so eloquently put it, Hair Fair culminates today  in us taking off our hair to celebrate the beauty inside of us all.  Our hair is a mane that speaks to the world before we open our mouths, but how much more important is our character and person than that? A thousandfold.

It’s why I am ecstatic every year when Hair Fair occurs. Not because we love hair (we do). But because it’s about something bigger and more important than our hair do’s and blogger selves.

I want to thank Sasy Scarborough and her amazing team for once again putting on an event to be proud of, an event that speaks to us all and shows us that real beauty is more than the sum of our parts.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

Two Little Girls In Braids 2.0

There are two ladies that write for this blog who spent their childhoods with their long hair braided and wrapped around their heads. Their mothers would wrap their hair so tightly, that it would stay in place days if it needed to. I was one of those girls. I will give you a hint, the other one is a red head. Continue reading

Yukata Have Friends

Cajsa IMd me and said she knew I was going to love the hair at Hair Fair from Curious Kitties especially with all the crazy options on the HUD. She was right, I was in a dither playing but decided to show you this traditional up do with a modern flair right out of the box, because it’s my favorite color of green. Continue reading

The Truth about Vonda

One of my goals every year at Hair Fair is to find a new to me creator, and fall in love. This has happened every year without fail, and this year I found that it was GOTZSCHE that is in the running as one of my new loves, even though I’ve only complete two sims so far.

In a little modest booth with 3-4 styles, this little shop might be easy to pass by but I recommend you don’t.  I have a very strict routine at Hair Fair, I go into EVERY SINGLE BOOTH. Unless the sky parts and I scream KILL IT WITH FIRE I tend to demo something from every place. Normally I do this on blogger day, but I was having surgery that day this year, so it’s taking me a wee bit longer to get through.

Their style that grabbed at me at GOTZSCHE though – was named after one of the looming ghosts from my childhood – VONDA. Continue reading

SOOOOOON……HAIR FAIR 2012

Hair Fair 2012 is rolling up on us all and fashionistas across the grid have begun their annual flail of joy.

Hair Fair will run July 14th thru July 29th and is a benefit for Wigs for Kids.

I am rolling out my Hair Fair love this year with the new release from MINA which is going to be a favorite with bloggers everywhere because it’s perfect for showing off your earrings. It’s also got a HUD for coloring and highlights which makes me smile in a sort of a mad scientist way.

You can join the Hair Fair Demo’s group so that you can try everything on BEFORE you get to the event, which reduces all the lag and stuff for everyone!  Click HERE to join.
