This month’s theme for Collabor88 is Safari and Baiastice’s offerings are stylishly on point – taking inspiration from African fabrics and textures and colors but making something new with it. Her skirts and tops are irresistible and should be kept as great mix and match pieces. The top in particular will be a great one for layering as it skims close to the body.
I have wandered all of Hair Fair and have been busily sorting my purchases and promotional copies by style. This is a slideshow of some of the short styles. I have more short cuts that I will be showing you soon, along with long styles, braids and ponie, updos and hair with hats or other embellishments. As always, Hair Fair is one of the Wonders of Second Life.

My long night running the gauntlet of Hair Fair, in and out of every shop, buying, making plans to buy later, demoing, trying to look pretty, all of these things created an intense desire to find a mellow spot to relax and take in my spoils.

While I am sorting the hair from Hair Fair by style so I can shoot the pictures for you, I took a few snaps of this great dress from Thalia Heckroth™. This is only her second release and already she’s working in prints and not doing strapless. That’s ambition. In the distance, you can see some of Half-Deer’s Thomson Gazelles that are available at Collabor88. Continue reading
This gorgeous belted dress from Emery can be found at Collabor88 in several earth tones.
Hair Fair opens tomorrow. While DJing the opening party, I hunted far and wide stalking the wild hair, the short hair, the curly hair, the long, straight, curly, fuzzy, naggy, shaggy, ratty, natty, oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka-dotted, twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, flowered, and confettied, bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!
Since joining Second Life®, I have never missed Hair Fair and have to say this is my favorite build. The build is just a whole lot of hair product and I cracked up when I sounded out the name of the product. The stores are inside the product boxes and the creativity of the designers in decorating the boxes is another part of the fun of Hair Fair. Continue reading
I love that picture from Anya Ohmai and am borrowing it to remind you that HAIR FAIR is coming sooner than you think. It opens July 12th, that’s less than 100 hours from now. The opening of Hair Fair can be a bit of a scrum – actually it is completely a scrum – but you can avoid being trampled underfoot as rabid fashionistas chase the latest and greatest hair by joining the Hair Fair Demo Group and can try out the new releases at your leisure in the comfort of your living room or even sitting in your bathtub. You could even host a Hair Fair Demo Party and play “I Like Your Hair” while all putting on the same demo at the count of one-two-three – hair!
You can get all the information about Hair Fair at the Hair Fair blog. To join the group, you can TP here or enter this in chat secondlife:///app/group/2e30d166-f3e5-e2de-ff72-b3da2d06ded2/about or just search Hair Fair Demo Group in Search. The group is free. Hair Fair will never charge a fee for the demo group.
Today is the last day of Hair Fair, so that means it is Bandana Day. Today we take off our hair and wear a bandana in solidarity with all those who have lost their hair in their struggles to live with illness whether from cancer or alopecia or whatever. Hair Fair exists to provide hair for young people who have lost theirs and the proceeds go to Wigs For Kids. Think about how stressful it is to go out on a bad hair day, now how many more times more difficult would it be with no hair? Supporting Wigs for Kids will help them put an end to bad/no hair days.
The floral bandana from Lelutka sent me on a mission to mix florals, but in such a way that they worked together. The dress from Decoy for Collabor88 has such a soft tone on tone pattern that is almost seems like a solid in contrast to the bold scarf.
So Love Donna Flora is now open. Frankly there is so many wonderful things I am overwhelmed trying do decide what to buy myself. This dress from Ghee for Love Donna Flora was an easy choice for me, though, being my favorite color. Also, Ghee is a new-to-me store and that is always fun. The dress is alive, can you see the sparkles?
I am showing you the back so you can see that it enhanced with a big bow that drapes down the skirt. And look at it sparkle!
TOMORROW is Bandana day and that’s the day we take off our many wigs and wear only bandanas, in support and solidarity to those who do not have any due to disease or treatment of disease.
Many of us made bandanas and donated them, and you still have time to run over and grab one or two or three and get creative.
I hope to see NO hair on Iheartsl tomorrow! So spread the word!
