Hair Fair 2012 - Lamb, Fashionably Dead & LaViere

Hair Fair is heading into its last 24 hoursish so now seems like the perfect opportunity to remind of you of some of the amazing styles that have made this years Fair a roaring success.

Lamb - Wild at Heart, Falling, Blue Velvet & In Heaven

Lamb has 4 female styles and 1 male style up for grabs at Hair Fair this year.  If you read my blog regularly you will know I'm a huge fan of all things Lamb and this years offerings are no exception, however I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't warn you that there is a slight rigging problem with the Wild at Heart and Blue Velvet styles.  This doesn't impact the wearability of the stunning hair styles generally, but some poses will cause the hair to disappear into the side of your head.

Fashionably Dead - Beanie Baby, Saturday, Maire, Garden and Sunday

I'm always excited to see what Fashionably Dead offers up at Hair Fair time and this year Toast Bard has gone for some simply beautiful and feminine styles that are sure to please even the most discerning fashionista.

LaViere - Freya, Natasha & Valere

I think I must have been living under a bit of rock prior to Hair Fair as I had no idea that Azure Electricteeth made hair under her LaViere brand and smashing hair at that.  These 3 styles are quite possibly some of the my absolute favourite must have picks at this years fair!

Hair Fair closes on the 29th of July, so time is running out.. go go go!!

Lyrics from Nothing burns like a memory by Heidi Newfield

Dirty little freaks

So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways,

All my underdogs,

We will never be anything but loud and nitty gritty,

Dirty little freaks,

Won't you come on and raise your glass...

I've had a few people lately ask where my skin is from because I don't credit it in every post.  This isn't because I want to take anything away from the wonderful designer or because I don't want to share it.  I don't change my skin all that often and I will always credit it when I do like I did way back here.  So if I haven't credited it in a while, it's pretty safe to assume I'm still using the same one.  But for those that are wondering Atomic's Audri Abyss 2 in porcelain by the amazingly talented Miss Ivy Graves is currently rocking my skin world.

Lyrics from Raise Your Glass by P!nk

Everyone's got their chains to break

I've got another confession to make, I'm your fool,

Everyone's got their chains to break, holding you,

Were you born to resist, or be abused?

Is someone getting the best of you?

I love finding new stores I haven't yet raided and stumblebum this week pointed me in the direction of TokiD...I have two words to describe it, SUPER CUTE!

Lyrics from This Could Be Anywhere In The World by Alexisonfire

I guess that's just the cowboy in me

The urge to run, the restlessness,

The heart of stone I sometimes get,

The things I've done for foolish pride,

The me that's never satisfied,

The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see,

I guess that's just the cowboy in me....

I have a secret....I'm a closet country music fan and had the very fortunate experience of getting to see Mister Tim McGraw live this past friday.  So with that in mind, I felt like channeling my inner country girl and this is what came out the other end... it's sort of country-esq...maybe... well at the very least it's comfy and perfect for the coolish weather we have been having the last few days...

Fall Into Me

I had time to think it over,

And all I can say is come closer,

Take a deep breath and jump,

Then fall into me...

Deep and Meaningless

Yeah you,  I guess you had another direction,

And leaving me with nothing but a dead connection,

You still walked away leaving me in this mess,

My love for you is deep and meaningless...

Some newness out in the world today..yay!  First off there is the delightful Atomic VIP gift for September.  You do have to pay $250L to join this group, but it's totally worth it!  Then we have some more wonderful poses by !Dont Freak Out and Flowey, who have collaborated to bring us the Flutter <3 Willa series.  I love the How I Met Your Mother Reference in this pose pack but more importantly I adore the poses both of these ladies make, so I hope this won't be their first and last collaboration.  Last but definitely not least, Coco released these gorgeous boots this morning and I was all over them the minute I got the notecard.  So go...spend....enjoy...

To busy gazing at stars

Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon but,

I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and,

I'm not afraid to take a stand, everybody come take my hand,

We'll walk this road together, through the storm,

Whatever wheather, cold or warm,

Just let you know that, you're not alone,

Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

Lyrics from Not Afraid by Eminem

I Heart ATOMIC!

Atomic, hands down, would be in my top 3 favourite shops of all time in SL, now that is a big call when you think about it right?  It is one of those stores, that no matter how many times I visit, I always find something new to buy and it almost always becomes my instant favourite of the week. 

With that said, for some unknown reason, I've never paid a huge amount of attention to the skins created by Ivy Graves.  I honestly have no idea why, it's a little retarded when I think about, given that I own at least one of nearly every item in her store!  Anywho, after getting the stumblebum list this morning, I trotted off to Atomic to see the 3 skins that were up as part of this weeks offerings, seriously... how the hell have I not noticed these before?   I am officially in love! 

The texture of her skins is just divine and the make up is nice and subtle, but with enough flair to keep it interesting.  They probably aren't the type of skin you are going to find a glammapuss model wearing but they are just perfect for me.  From the second I tried the demo I knew I had found my new skin! 

So here is my ode to Atomic for the day, don't be surprised to see them pop up, a lot!

If you haven't checked out Atomic recently, get your butt over there.
