Hair Fair - Big Win At The Fair

Pick a fair, any fair Skin, Hair, Shoe, and there are a lot of winners there. Certainly, we shoppers are huge winners, we get heaps of new and must have goodies all in one place. The content creators are winners, they get to show off their creations alongside the best of the best, and even the little fish in the pool can get a lot of exposure.  But beyond that, there are the charities that are tied in to most of these big events, and they win in two big ways. First, they get a lot of exposure for their cause, as Wigs for Kids has at the current Hair Fair 2014. Secondly, they get many small donations from the sale of items at the event, and all those small donations add up to something wonderful when all is said and done. Every single purchase you make at Hair Fair gives Wigs for Kids a small percentage of the cost to helping children who have experienced hair loss as a result of medical treatment, a health condition, or trauma, such as a burn. It's a lovely commentary on the power of the many when they come together to support something bigger than themselves. A new to me vendor like !Saltgrass!, who have this lovely Raleigh style available Exclusively at Hair Fair 2014, is the perfect example of a wig that turns a purchase from you into so much more.

Rhapsody - Lust For Life

I have been under the weather and haven't been able to get much blogging done, but today I pushed myself hard to get some done because I was dying to show off more Rhapsody goodies. While the initial riot around the opening may have passed, don't let this event get by you unseen, it runs until the 12th of July, so there is lots of time to get your rock-on!

This look is put together in the mode of PUNK ROCK, whatever that means to you. To me it has always meant a lot of attitude, a lot of angst, and a whole lot of bad behavior. This MINA Hair wicked Mohawk look, called Sid, is the perfect Unisex style. Similarly, the tied shirt from +A&A+ is also a Unisex winner, it comes in a heap of awesome version to choose from. The Amerie jacket with tank or t-shirt combo from [R3VOLT] is another Punk perfect look. It had a heap of was to customize it and make it your own.  Some tats and piercings, why the heck not! I am so ready to rock. Get on down to and check out all the Punk goodness at Rhapsody today!

Moving Day

I am getting my move on in Second Life, moving from a lofty Sky Box to a sweet little place on the ground.  I picked up The Karin Cottage by Trompe Loeil at last months COLLABOR88 event, and decided it was time to have a real kitchen and a little garden out back. I will be furnishing and landscaping my new little slice of Real Estate in the coming weeks, and will be taking lots of pictures, so make sure you stop in to check on my progress.

Dear Antie Mae

[Scroll Through More Images from flickr Below]

Dear Antie Mae,

I know it's been a very long time, I have been away for almost four years.  You were my first major fashion love in Second Life, and I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Anessa, my sister, happened into your store almost 8 years ago now, and she sent me an excited message, "You have to see this place!"  I then took the teleport that changed my Second Life, and to a large part, my first life too. There, in your soda shop, we realized this was what our Second Life was supposed to be about. We both shared a love for Retro, Rock 'N Roll, and Vintage, and we wanted to open a classy little joint to celebrate all the really curvy girls and the fun of the past. We hatched our plan for a little club called PIN UPS that day, and you were our very first vendor. We were over the moon when you set up shop in our lobby, and we quickly bought everything you made. Well, that little club turned into a whole SIM, Retrology, and you were there with us too. We became friends, and we shared a love for so many things, but mostly, we respected your amazing talent and your kindness, your friendship and your sense of fun. I miss you Antie Mae, and SL would not be the same without you.

Hugs and Kisses,

 Kets
