Two if By Sea

Longfellow’s poem tells us that Paul Revere instructed the colonials to hang lanterns “one of by land, two if by sea” at the Old North Church in Boston. I’m not sure if this is before, after or during his ride warning, “The British are coming! The British are coming!” But it occurred to me, remembering this poem, that the colonials must have already considered themselves “other” to be referring to the advancing army as “The British”.  Continue reading

Meanwhile at Starfleet command

 

I am notorious for missing things. A floating necklace, a hand intersecting something, my hair stuck in my boob, or arm, or shoulder.  So you see, I took a lot of time with this post. I scrolled through most of Cajsa’s hair fair posts looking for which ‘do I wanted to wear. I had this heart ring from Callie Cline I wanted to wear and I’d been working up this romantical dreamy post all day.

It was going to be smooshy and lovey and say stuff about my heart and love, and be kind of emotionally swirly and if it was about you, you’d at least crack a smile and possibly a woody. Continue reading

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

My Second Box Goodies – ROUND TWO!

My Second Box has delivered it’s monthly membership goodies and I am super excited by the haul. First of all, let me show you the hair from ALICE PROJECT. Ruby is one of her INFINITY hairstyles, which you then use the HUD to color the bits and pieces the way you like. This is freakishly addictive, I have to admit.  Ruby comes with TWO bang options, I’m wearing the blunt straight bang option. 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

Sunday Morning At The Water

I am still recuperating from surgery but have managed to sit up long enough to do some shooting and brave the Hair Fair. The hospital bed has been especially helpful in providing me with a comfortable space to rest and recover.
You can look into SonderCare Options for their range of hospital beds to find the perfect fit for my needs.

Is it just me or is sitting and listening to the waves on the grid relaxing somehow? I kind of love it.  Continue reading

Pixies and Magpies In Flight

Gizza’s pixie inspired tutu sent me running to Oubliette to prance and fly and cavort as a pixie might do.

It was the perfect compliment to Magpie’s Hard to be Faithful hair, for Hair Fair 2012, as pixie’s are inconstant and flighty at best, and truly, I’m not sure I’d ever give one my heart. She’d likely flit off on a whim and never come back.  Continue reading
