This is the one song everyone
would like to learn: the song
that is irresistible:
the song that forces men
to leap overboard in squadrons
even though they see the beached skulls
Siren Song

The String Mausoleum Has Your Hair Fair OUT THERE
Helena Stringer doesn’t like normal. In fact, I’d say she’s one of those people who believe normal isn’t healthy which I heartily agree with. I like it different, despite the fact that I normally rock a blonde haired blue eyed blogger girl, that’s a lazy comfort zone for me.
Hair Fair is where I often find myself taking a step outside of that comfort zone , and The String Mausoleum is very often where I find that reality come to life.
I’m not bringing you the gauntlet of the Hair Fair AWESOME from Helena but my three faves because I like things in threes. Continue reading
Hair Fair Profiles: Oblivion by Albakruna
This is the first in a series of profiles of some of the designers at Hair Fair 2015. Albakruna designs fantasy and role play hair, with a strong emphasis on historically accurate hair designs. Her store is named Oblivion.

It’s Only Fashion: What’s the craziest thing you ever did in Second Life? Most exciting? Silliest? Is there a story you can share that captures your Second Life experience?
Albakruna: Actually I consider every day of my days in Second Life the craziest, silliest, funniest ever because let’s face it, even just hovering over a cloud in the sky while building is not that usual. What chained me to this world and still keep me thrilled about is the fact you virtually can do whatever as the imagination is the only limit and, we know, imagination has no limits 🙂

Event Madness (In the Best Possible Way)
Even though there were few people awake when i visited the Hair Fair sims during the blogger preview, I dressed for a crowd. I wore just a hairbase, my default avatar, no shoes and this lovely little romper from Tee*fy. Of course, once I went back home, I jumped back into my mesh body and added some shoes, hair and accessories, because, well, I felt naked without my mesh body. What struck me as incredibly funny, though, is that I ran into four other bloggers who were wearing this romper, obviously having the same idea as me. The nice thing was that everyone was wearing a different print, thanks to the amazing quantity of prints and colors that Azure Electricteeth produced for Collabor88 this month.
I wondered what possible new thing Sasy, Mel and Whimsy could come up with for this year’s Hair Fair. What could top those boxes of hair dye from last year? Well, this time the stores are giant shopping bags. There are also a few spills of shopping bags scattered around, you can even walk inside them. There are huge lipstick displays, too. Of course, I had to check out the ones on the Redhead sim. Continue reading
Hair Fair Opens the Floodgates – Store SLURLS
For some reason, Sasy Scarborough who has survived on 11 hours of sleep over the past three days while making sure that Hair Fair is as perfect as it can be, does not show the ill effects of lack of sleep. I have to confess that once again, Hair Fair is designed to make this massive event as enjoyable as possible.
The shopping path is flawless. Just keep the stores to your left and follow the path and you will not miss a single store. If you would rather shop from home, join the demo group and try your hair on at home or invite friends over for a demo party. Past this demo group link into local chat and click on it to join the group: secondlife:///app/group/2e30d166-f3e5-e2de-ff72-b3da2d06ded2/about
Here’s the map. There are also 2 additional sims for the first couple of days because the most frustrating thing about Hair Fair is its own success and the difficulty of getting in. People can TP to them and use them as a way to get into the adjoining sims, or camera shop from them. Here are TP links to those bordering gateways: Streaks A, Streaks B, Streaks C, Foils A, Foils B, Foils C

How To Get Rid of the Obnoxious Rude Flickr Crap
See this photo and how it is cluttered with all sorts of obnoxious, intrusive spam from Flickr? It’s a picture from my cooking blog since I thought I would kill two birds and tell you about my cooking blog and about how to get rid of all that crap. Just delete everything in red from the code.
<a data-flickr-embed=”true” data-header=”true” data-footer=”true” href=”https://www.flickr.com/photos/cajsa_lilliehook/19372258729/in/dateposted-public/” title=”Salad with Earl Grey Pork, Pears, Cherries, Celery and Cabbage”><img src=”https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3691/19372258729_fd219b5f12_z.jpg” width=”640″ height=”480″ alt=”Salad with Earl Grey Pork, Pears, Cherries, Celery and Cabbage”></a><script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>
The header and footers are what place the profile picture and the picture name and description in your blog. The script is what makes the overlay ruin your picture with spam.
Omni-Blogging: MSO, Hair Fair, Collabor88 & a Tinting Tutorial
Baiastice released a gorgeous dress for this underwater-themed Collabor88. I will confess I was nervous about this month’s theme, but as usual, the collaborators of Collabor88 were not too literal and came through with flying colors – mostly blues. Continue reading
Let’s Get It Started In HAIR…(See what I Did There?)
So HAIR FAIR 2015 is going to be kicking off in TWO DAYS! That’s RIGHT TWO DAYS OMG ARE YOU READY?!! This is the big one, the one annual event that curls my toes and melts my butter. This is the one. Ok wait, Shoe Fair does too. Ok THIS IS ONE OF TWO….ok wait…
Nevermind. You get the point. One of the great things I personally love in SL is the easy with which we can style our hair, in various styles of the same shade or simply be ALL OVER THE PLACE – whatever suits our fancy. Hair Fair is a cornucopia of opportunity to be creative with our look and a portion of EVERY purchase this year goes to WIGS for KIDS which is a great organization.
So what’s the BEST way to get ready? 1. Join the Demo group. Events can be a nightmare to shop when they’re jammed and being part of the demo group lets you try on EVERYTHING before you go, so you can make your shopping list after having properly tried everything on. Demos will start flowing into this group TOMORROW! Get in! Continue reading
AZUL has a great free gift for SOU Anniversary
I like this casual summer dress from AZUL as a gift for the Sou by Creation.jp Anniversary. It’s loose and casual and just right for this hot summer heat wave that is sucking the energy out of me.
I made a trip to LEA6 (Humanoid) to look around and found all sorts of fun to get up to.
Go And See My Love
So there is this movie I LOVE that you haven’t seen. I saw it in Kansas City, at a random mall theater when I was 20. You see, I had traveled there to attend the Drum Corps International world championship, with a group of friends – most of whom were 21. What this meant was that when night fell after the event, part of us went to the bars, and part of us wondered wtf we were supposed to DO for the rest of the evening.
We wandered into a local mall and walked int the first movie that was playing. It was called THE BIG BLUE. It’s a story about a man who is more than a man, or perhaps less. It’s about friendship, and love, and jealousy, and the complexity of being part of the world where sometimes things don’t make sense. It makes me cry, and it’s beautiful. Continue reading
