Hair Fair - Epoque & Wasabi Pills

Hello my sweets, firstly I must apologise for the lack of posting and particularly for the delay of posting for Hair Fair.  Shortly after my last post, I pinched a nerve in my back and shoulder which rendered me pretty much useless.  Fortunately I'm on the mend now and have lots and lots and lots of hair to inundate you with... aren't you lucky?

First up we have the amazing Epoque

With 4 amazing styles (3 female, 1 male) on offer this year, I really couldn't go past epoque meshy goodness, you really shouldn't either!

Next up is the always amazing Wasabi Pills.

  I have to be honest, I didn't really know a lot about Wasabi Pills until mesh launched, but MissAllSunday Lemon has smashed mesh hair out of the ball park and I just adore her for it.  She also has 4 amazing styles up for grabs at Hair Fair and I love each and every single one of them!

Hair Fair is open now and runs through until the 29th of July.  With a portion of proceeds benefiting Wigs for Kids, I really can not promote this event enough.  If you live under a rock and haven't been to Hair Fair for 2012 yet... get your butts there.... NOW!

Your taxi to Hair Fair awaits.

Pictures of You

It's amazing what you find when you clean up your inventory.  I don't think anything is super new, more just rediscovered but I felt like going on safari and... goodness knows my inventory is a jungle.

And so they laugh at the sad sad clown

There is a new event taking place right now called Epoch Legend and if you haven't visited yet, then quite seriously, stop whatever you are doing and goooo, it is fabulous!  The event is divided into three sections (landmarks to all sections are available from the Creators Cafe) and Maylee Oh of The Secret Store has released this stunning Circus outfit for the event.  So often in Second Life I find myself wearing many many items that I wear or would wear in my day to day life, so I had a lot of fun branching out into something new.   The outfit is mesh and includes the hat, the outfit itself and the stockings, and is available in the 5 standard sizes... really go visit, take lots of $$$, you won't regret it.

Just one word caution regarding the Epoch Legend event, many of the builds are mesh and you will need a mesh enabled viewer to attend the event.

The amazing background set that I am using in this picture is a release from Tableau Vivant and you can get one of your very own by visiting Festival of Sin.

Back in Black

I've never liked being boxed much and anyone who knows me, knows my style jumps all over the place with my mood.  After wandering the grid for a few days as a prima ballerina (see last post) and taking another trip the Festival of Sin, I felt the need to go for something a little more edgy. 

My visit to Festival of Sin proved more than fruitful, I absolutely adore these tights from AddiCt and the body suit from Kyoot is just perfect and both of these delicious items are available from the festival.

Also, my random happy for the day is definitely new LeLutka Mesh Hair and a big YAY for the $1L demos finally being scrapped!

Like a crow chasing a butterfly

When I start to but an outfit together for a blog post, I've usually been inspired by something, a picture, a tv show, a random idea or in this case one particular product.  I was at LoQ a few days again and Gia had released this fabulous hair as a new group gift, it was drool at first sight... and the rest pretty much fell into place.

With some much newness getting around and fabulous stores opening you may have missed the sad news that we are about to lose another store from this wacky world of ours.  Di's Opera will be closing it's doors later this week, so you do have one last chance to get there and snag, what is in my opinion, some of the best poses available.

Learning to walk again

Hello again my lovelies, today I'm showing off a little more from the Four Corners Event (running Dec 17th - 31st), spiced up with a dash of the offerings from the With Love...Again Hunt, as well as some Fashionably Dead and Maitreya newness just for good measure.  With so much going on in world, how is a simple girl to keep up?

I am completely infatuated with this Jacket from Beetlebones, it's one of the many treasures waiting for you at 4 Corners and it is just to die for!  It is Mesh, so you will need a mesh enabled viewer to see it, but c'mon if this jacket doesn't entice you to embrace mesh, than I don't know what will!!

Also a little note about the sweater I am wearing.  I adore Gawk, all of their items are so well made, and for a mere $10L it can be yours.  It is the prize on offer for taking part in the With Love...Again hunt that is currently running.  There are so awesome pieces on offer for you with this hunt and I would really recommend getting into the spirit and going and finding the little red gift boxes!

Black Friday

You may have heard of this little Black Friday Sale going on over at The Warehouse.  Armidi have pulled out a lot of their old treasures and gotten together with several other stores including The Body Shop, Abyss and The Botique and put together this rather delightful $100L sale for today only!  (I'm running a little late posting about it because my computer has a sick sense of humour).

Despite the fact that Armidi hasn't really released anything new in a long long time, many of their garments still hold up against current Second Life designs.  There certainly are some bargins to be had, so make sure you join The Warehouse group and head on over before midnight.

Fastest girl in town

Hi folks, one day i swear i will get back into the swing of posting more often than once every other week, i feel like a bit of a duck out of way lately but anywho...  I've wanted to do an all white outfit for a long time now i've just never been able to find the right pieces to pull it all together..until i found this jacket!  Isn't it to die for?  It's the newest release from Leezu and I just had to have it. The detail on this is just amazing, honestly you have to see it for yourself!   Now the sign does say sculpted system mesh??  I have no idea what that means and I can't find any actual mesh per say, but thought I should mention just in case. 

We also, finally, have the full release of the new Illusory skin called Paige.  I looooove her!  The fatpack is a little on the pricey side, but if you love Ivy's skins as much as I do then it is a definite must have.

Croire have released a super cute set of tattoo nail polishes annnd they are FREE... I am a big BIG fan of tattoo nail polish mainly because it is so convenient and I am a little retarded when it comes to trying to fit prim nails, so these were right up my ally.  If you are prim nail challenged too check them out! The nail colours are split into three packs and are or will be available from separate locations - The Earth pack will be available for free from the Seraphim HQ soon. The Delicates will be a free gift at Vintage Fair, opening November 11 and the Brights pack are already available at the main store depraved hunt gift.

Last but not least these gorgeous shoes from Pixel Mode were new out this week as well, I adore the wood detail on them.  The wood is changeable through a hud so you have a degree of customization available and if that isn't enough to entice you there is a special little jewellery pack thrown in with the shoe box as well.

Extend A Helping Hand - The Queensland Flood Appeal

I am a Queenslander, this is a statement I have often made with pride, today it is with desperation, despite the fact that  I am one of the lucky ones.  I have seen some flooding in my suburb but for the most part my home is safe with only a few minor puddles in the backyard.  I have both my parents and my grandparents currently residing with me as they have had to evacuate their homes.  I have friends and family all over the state that are stranded and have lost everything.  I know people on my plurk that have loved ones that are unaccounted for and I am aware of many other Australian Second Life residents that are bracing themselves as the waters continue to rise.   My heart, along with millions of others, is breaking as our state drowns. 

As i am writing this, Queensland has now been declared a Disaster area.  Some three-quarters of the state is currently being effected in some way by rising water.  More than 100,000 homes are without power, 12 people have been confirmed dead with another 50+ missing.  More than 20,000 properties in Brisbane alone are expected to suffer major flooding by 4am tomorrow morning as the Brisbane river continues to overflow, engulfing all in it's path and that is only one of a handful of scenarios being seen around this state.  More concerning is that most of these people are not covered for flooding by insurance as insurance companies, since 1974, have not offered it as an option.

We are desperate and we need your help.  Sanura Sakai, along with dozens of very generous vendors, has put together the Extend A Helping Hand Market to raise money for the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal, all funds donated to this appeal will be going to help the victims of the Queensland Flood Disaster.   There are some truly wonderful items available, many of them exclusive to the event, such as the gorgeous dress I am wearing in the above picture.   So please, dig deep if you can and if you can't, please keep us in your thoughts as we prepare for the worst.
