Sharif Don't Like It

jul23_008

I am wearing a choli, camisole and skirt from BoHo HoBo - an amazing new-to-me store.

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin’ to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin’ down the ville
The muezzin was a’ standing
On the radiator grille

The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

Inspired by Elle Couerblanc's pics at KoinUp, I took a trip to Tajuk Oasis for the pictures. You must wear a hug and a tag to travel there since it is a Gor sim. I happened by when it was pretty empty.

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the sharif
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

Bandana Day

bandana day_006

One of the great elements of Hair Fair is that it asks for more participation from us than just shopping, blogging or building. Each year, it asks all of us to take off our hair and don a bandana in solidarity with those who are going through cancer treatment and losing their hair. Hair is very precious to us. Most of us when asked to describe ourselves, start with our hair color Our hairstyles are our signs to the world, communicating our interests, tastes and values. When people lose their hair, that signifier that said they are chic, or sporty, or rebellious is lost and replaced with a new signifier – Cancer Patient.
Bandana Day 2011
That is why Wigs For Kids is such a critical support to children who are going through cancer treatment. Children are already struggling to establish their identity, to individuate – and when cancer treatment robs them of such a critical signifier as hair, it’s important to restore that as best we can.

Medium Length Hair – Hair Fair 2011

Leave a reply

ContactSheet

I like medium length hair styles that give you the softness and free-flowing hair of the long styles without any of the intersections and pose difficulties of long hair. Sadly, it is one of the least common hair lengths produced in Second Life. That is odd, because medium length hair is pretty common in real life. As with the other composites of hair styles from the Hair Fair, you can see the larger pictures in a set on my Flickr.

There’s a lot of wonderful styles of long hair at Hair Fair. Here’s a sampling of what you can find. You can see the full size pictures in a set on my Flickr.

After shooting all the long styles, I ran over to Silent Hill, a role-playing sim, and popped on an OOC/Visitor tag to snap some pictures. It’s a gorgeous, moody retro Americana sim that looks like the perfect setting for something scary.

Ponies and Braids

Ponies, pigtails and braids, oh my! Hair Fair is rich in tails and braids and there are some really great choices. A few let you customize them with color-change huds or scripts to alter the color of the pony fastener or the streaks in your hair. There are full-size pictures in the Flickr slideshow here. I shot these styles in a gorgeous dress from Vanitas Vesture that has such a great skirt, I decided to make a little video to show you how it moves in the newly released Model XXX AO from Behavior Body.

What are furbelows anyway? I googled and found out they are pleats or ruffles used to embellish your clothing – so good enough. This is collection of Hair Fair styles that are more casual and incorporate hats, headbands, ribbons, flowers or even butterflies. Any additional adornment or embellishment. There are 29 styles and you can see the full size pictures in this Flickr set.

Looking for a more casual outfit to show off these hairstyles, I pulled out these WoE Gauge 2 Jeans with the strawberry patch. The top is a shortie from Moonshine and the belt is from Coco.

Fancy-Ass Hair

Formal Hat & Embellished Hair

Gidge dared me to call it that. Frankly, my folder for this hair is named Formal Hair: Embellished or Hats. But Fancy-Ass hair is more descriptive and that’s what it is. This is Wow! hair. There’s full size shots of each of these in the Set on my Flickr.

Hair Fair 2011 Short Hair Styles

Hair Fair 2011 Short Hair

I am not sure if you’ve noticed or anything, but Hair Fair 2011 opened at a few minutes after midnight Saturday morning. A quiet, low-key event like Hair Fair might have escaped your attention so I thought I might show you what you might be missing since hardly anyone is talking about it. [Insert disbelieving guffaw here]

I shot pics of several of the short hair styles that you can find at Hair Fair. Unlike previous years, every hair at the fair is set to donate a portion to the charity Wigs For Kids so you don’t need to try to figure out which are the charity items this year. They all are. If you would like to see the larger individual pictures of these hair styles, you can see them in this Flickr set.

Retro Pop

Building by Iota Ultsch

Hair Fair has opened with around 100 different hair designers selling oodles of hair to raise money for Wigs for Kids. Every single hair style sold at Hair Fair sends a portion of the proceeds to the charity. So why am I posing with 2007 hair? Well, I am busy sorting the hair fair styles into long, medium, short and other types of styles for some upcoming mega-posts. I also want to remind everyone that just because something is old, doesn’t mean it isn’t great Certainly this dress from Lost Dreams called Retro Red may be retro, but it’s hot and stylish.
