Show Me The Hair That Stole Your Heart

Once upon a time there was a girl who was a blogger who wasn’t very experienced. She wasn’t jaded, she didn’t eyeroll at things that had been done 100 times. She didn’t log in and log out after getting her photos, she spent time and enjoyed her SL.  Her SL wasn’t silent, her SL was full of friends, not just acquaintances she didn’t talk to much.

This is about that girl.

That girl fell in LOVE with a hair that Gogo blogged and she HAD to have it.  I would link to Gogo’s post but knowing that dork, she probably purges old pics because she thinks they look dated. Regardless, it was there once. What was the hair? It was this.

This was literally one of my Happiest Hair Fair Memories – seeing this hair, and having the Lindens to go buy it.

I would love to see in comments or on plurk  the hair that for you, has a happy HAIR FAIR memory. Hair Fair isn’t just an event – it’s a celebration.

 

Siren Song

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

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)

150710_004

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

Sasy_001

 

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 AStreaks BStreaks CFoils AFoils BFoils C

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
