With Love For Lelutka

I am not a big group JOINER. This is probably because I don’t get out much plus I’m not a big shopper per se so, I tend to only be in groups I really love being a part of.  Lelutka is one of those groups.

Recently they sent out a group notice with a sweet summery gift that I’m fairly sure has been blogged ad infinitum. I could check the feeds but why bother? Other bloggers loving on it doesn’t make my loving any less. In fact, I guess it just reinforces WHY it’s freaking awesome group to belong to. Continue reading

Bragging Rights

jul27_024

The Leona dress from Zenith - Each color set comes in sold and print versions. The dress is by Miffyhoi Rosca - who is among the first dozen friends I made when I joined Second Life four years ago. PS. I hate the new iteration of the SL viewer. I have anti-aliasing on and all my settings are right I still get some raggedy edges.

The Vicious Family

When I first joined Second Life and was rescued by Gidge from the vicious stairs that had me trapped and began working with her (she was my supervisor) I was welcomed into this crazy “family” of folks at Vicious/Hypnoz, a club and shopping mall she managed. I started out cleaning prim trash and translating announcements into Spanish and graduated into helping plan and publicize events. It was a big family that included Miffyhoi Rosca. Miffy introduced me to pillow fighting and crazy gestures. I introduced her to horseback riding and surfing.

Miffy's first creation - a belt and armband

And then she decided she was going to make clothing and launched the Zenith brand. I can remember sitting with our mutual friend (and Gidge’s adopted daughter) Hatchy and one of Hatchy’s loves on a giant pig while watching Miffy spend hours and hours on her first creation – a candy belt and arm bands.  Well, that was 2007 and her style has changed over the years as she has grown from college student to adulthood but her meticulous attention to detail and her love of fashion remains the same. My appreciation of her fashion has grown over the years. Candy belts were never my thing, perhaps being diabetic played a role in that, but how can I resist a lovely flowing floral frock like this?

Sharif Don't Like It

jul23_008

I am wearing a choli, camisole and skirt from BoHo HoBo - an amazing new-to-me store.

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin’ to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin’ down the ville
The muezzin was a’ standing
On the radiator grille

The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

jul23_004

Inspired by Elle Couerblanc's pics at KoinUp, I took a trip to Tajuk Oasis for the pictures. You must wear a hug and a tag to travel there since it is a Gor sim. I happened by when it was pretty empty.

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the sharif
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

Bandana Day

bandana day_006

One of the great elements of Hair Fair is that it asks for more participation from us than just shopping, blogging or building. Each year, it asks all of us to take off our hair and don a bandana in solidarity with those who are going through cancer treatment and losing their hair. Hair is very precious to us. Most of us when asked to describe ourselves, start with our hair color Our hairstyles are our signs to the world, communicating our interests, tastes and values. When people lose their hair, that signifier that said they are chic, or sporty, or rebellious is lost and replaced with a new signifier – Cancer Patient.
Bandana Day 2011
That is why Wigs For Kids is such a critical support to children who are going through cancer treatment. Children are already struggling to establish their identity, to individuate – and when cancer treatment robs them of such a critical signifier as hair, it’s important to restore that as best we can.

ContactSheet

There’s a lot of wonderful styles of long hair at Hair Fair. Here’s a sampling of what you can find. You can see the full size pictures in a set on my Flickr.

After shooting all the long styles, I ran over to Silent Hill, a role-playing sim, and popped on an OOC/Visitor tag to snap some pictures. It’s a gorgeous, moody retro Americana sim that looks like the perfect setting for something scary.

Hair Fair Ponies and Braids

Ponies and Braids

Ponies, pigtails and braids, oh my! Hair Fair is rich in tails and braids and there are some really great choices. A few let you customize them with color-change huds or scripts to alter the color of the pony fastener or the streaks in your hair. There are full-size pictures in the Flickr slideshow here. I shot these styles in a gorgeous dress from Vanitas Vesture that has such a great skirt, I decided to make a little video to show you how it moves in the newly released Model XXX AO from Behavior Body.

Ribbons, Bows and Furbelows, Casual Hair at Hair Fair

ContactSheet

What are furbelows anyway? I googled and found out they are pleats or ruffles used to embellish your clothing – so good enough. This is collection of Hair Fair styles that are more casual and incorporate hats, headbands, ribbons, flowers or even butterflies. Any additional adornment or embellishment. There are 29 styles and you can see the full size pictures in this Flickr set.

Hair Fair 2011 Short Hair Styles

Hair Fair 2011 Short Hair

I am not sure if you’ve noticed or anything, but Hair Fair 2011 opened at a few minutes after midnight Saturday morning. A quiet, low-key event like Hair Fair might have escaped your attention so I thought I might show you what you might be missing since hardly anyone is talking about it. [Insert disbelieving guffaw here]

I shot pics of several of the short hair styles that you can find at Hair Fair. Unlike previous years, every hair at the fair is set to donate a portion to the charity Wigs For Kids so you don’t need to try to figure out which are the charity items this year. They all are. If you would like to see the larger individual pictures of these hair styles, you can see them in this Flickr set.

Lazuri at Accessory Fair

There’s something so summery and fun about a shift dress and the ones at Coco are amazing. This Red Art Print version is fun and vibrant. The picture print is so whimsical and then adding the big flowers, you end up with something that makes me smile.
