Hair Fair 2012: Short Hair

Leave a reply

I definitely recommend you click the slideshow and view it full-size on Flickr. I really wanted you to see all sides of the short cuts, especially the ones from MADesigns with the intricate fade cuts on the tattoo layer. MADesigns tattoo layers are modifiable. You receive a single one that you color to match your hair. All of these cuts are at Hair Fair and a portion of every hair sold goes to Wigs for Kids. I have included several men’s styles that seem to work well for women as well.

The Truth about Vonda

1 Reply

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 →

The Sweet Spot

NYU for RFL

High fashion, elegance and sex appeal are not mutually exclusive. I doubt, though, that they have ever come together with such masterful balance as in this gown from NYU for Relay For Life that hits the sweet spot of avant sexy elegance. To make it even sweeter, it’s packaged with three options. You can wear it with the floral skirt and white top, a floral top and white skirt, or with a white top and skirt. And then to make it even sweeter yet, your purchase supports Relay for Life.

After a lot of wandering, lots of unpacking, even more sorting, tremendous generosity from creators and far too much spending, I have shot a large sampling of the updos available at Hair Fair. If you want to check specific photos, you can click through to the Flickr set.

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 →

These are a few of my favorite things

First I just wanted to say to Ryker Beck, how dare you stop making skins, I mean seriously lady! What were you thinking?!

Now that I have that off my chest let’s continue. I stayed up until 4am shopping at the hair fair last night. It was amazeballs, the lag wasn’t horrible and I made it to every store. I bought about 8 or 9 different hairs and I wanted to show some of my favs!

Pixies and Magpies In Flight

Leave a reply

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 →

Gizza’s Sunburst Tutu

If you look real high
You just might find
Sitting in the stars
Glistening, glistening
Waiting for the band to come
Just waiting for that man to come
Oh, I wonder…

Gizza has made two sets of four tutus and it would take Solomon to choose the best of them. I wore this delightful Sunburst Tutu because I love its whimsy and the delicate, watercolor colors in the skirt.

Slip on down from that sun
To climb down to earth
And down to things like time
Because we are all, we are all just lovers
Born of earth and light like all these others

Candy Girl, you are my world!

I feel so totally cheery and energetic in this outfit. When I put it together I immediately felt like I needed to have a car with the top down, a pink poodle and 4 assistants to help me go shopping. Get outta my dreams, get into mah car BEEP BEEP YAH! Oh, remember the blonde chick with the big boobs that the stuck up housewives hated in the movie The Help? Yea, I feel like her. She was hot.

Hey there, I like your hair!

HF2012-Destination

Hair Fair 2012 opens at midnight and I am starting to sort hair for my blog posts featuring the different styles of hair you can find there. This event is to raise funds for Wigs for Kids.  Meanwhile, I thought I would share the map with you and some useful info on making your experience better.

  1. Join the Hair Fair Demo Group. You can copy and paste this into your chat window to join as well. You can set it so it doesn’t deliver and only save the demos you want if you’re afraid of being overwhelmed. Test the demos at home.
  2. Don’t worry too much about your aim when you’re walking around, most of the build is phantom so you can walk through walls.
  3. Take advantage of the pose balls to jump ahead.
  4. De-prim.
  5. Don’t render the other avatars by reducing the number who render in debug settings.  The default is 35, you don’t need to see 35 people, you want to see hair. Go to Advanced Menu (CTL-alt-D) and type in RenderAvatarMaxVisible. Lower it to something reasonable like 5. Don’t make it 0 because if you’re not rendered you can’t move. Now, if you can’t see them, you don’t need to care how much they’re wearing.
  6. Lower your graphic settings. Turn off atmospheric shaders, turn off the water reflections. Turn of particles and lower draw distance. Keep the mesh details high so you can see the hair, though.
  7. Turn on avatar imposters so even the folks who load are not fully loaded.
  8. Meanwhile, Darkley Aeon has kindly posted all the slurls to help guide your way.
  9. And then there is redelivery. I don’t know who is responsible for this innovation this year, but we all owe that person a big hug.

Don’t you love how every year they find another way to make it better?
