Tale of Tails

It's been a bit of a week for me, and being under the weather does not agree with me so very much. It certainly gets in the way of my ability to blog, which is a shame because there is so much worth blogging on the grid lately. When I finally made my way to The KUSTOM 9 over a week ago, I managed to snag up so much greatness that this post is full of it, in a good way that is. Finds included this adorable AMITOMO Black Cat Clutch, which makes for an awesome Gacha prize, you have to love the glowing eyes.  I also got a chance to wear this great new TRUTH HAIR in-store release called Nissa with a fabulous fishtail braid over one shoulder. I do love the reds when I wear TRUTH HAIR, they are just so foxy, which makes this adorable *katat0nik* Fox Ice Cream Bar the perfect treat for an evening on the pier. Lots of animal tails in this blogging tale, and lets hope that my health is on the upswing.

Hair Fair - Daisies and Diamonds

One of my favorite things about Hair Fair, is the discovery of really lovey wigs, and lovely hair bases to go with them. Because they can be worn separately, you can really customize your looks by wearing a hair base from one creator and a wig from another. It allows for endless personalization, which, lets face it, is hard to accomplish in Second Life when so many avatars wear very popular skins and mesh heads. This lovely weighted curl Diamond style from ISON is new and available Exclusively right now at Hair Fair 2014. The delicate baby haired hair base is from ICONIC, and just worked so well with this style, I opted to keep it on. It is also available at the Hair Fair 2014, with a style called The Icon, blogged HERE. I was feeling very girly, so pulled together a great look to wear with my new Floral Skirt 2 by [MotiAme], available at the new round of The KUSTOM 9. So from Diamonds to Daisies, my personal style will always come out on top!

Hair Fair - Limited Edition Me!

More great hair that you are going to want to add to your bulging inventory, this time from ~Tableau Vivant~ at Hair Fair 2014. This sleek straight Francis style still had a sweetly bumped up crown, and exposed ears, something my Elf friends will appreciate for showing off their lovely pointed ears. It is a great look for anyone, and I always adore the selection of Reds in the Fall pack that has ~Tableau Vivant~. I stopped in at the new round of The KUSTOM 9 and snagged up some great new poses from *PosESioN*, this fabulous Flamingo Ccropped top by -FAUN-, and these great luminous eyes from [Buzz]. Don't forget to hurry and get to Project Limited to get some great Limited Edition items, like these initial necklaces from [whatever], I got one in Gold and one in Silver for my two initials J and K, and I love to wear them together. Not much is finite in Second Life, that's what makes a limited edition item of just 200 ever to be sold so precious.

Hair Fair - In Other Worlds

Hair Fair is officially open for the public, and that means a lot of wigging out, and a lot of money being raised for the official charity of the event, Wigs For Kids.  The Mission Statement of the Charity says it all, Helping Children Look Themselves, and Live Their Lives. How inspiring is that? So remember when you shop, you are helping children who have lost their hair either as a result of medical treatment, trauma such as a burn, or from a pre-existing condition, such as Alopecia. With such a heart warming cause behind the event, you can't help but feel good about every single purchase. This Analog Dog wig, called simple Other, is so much more than just another braid, it is fabulously sexy but can be just as cute, depending on your color selection. I loved the Splash hues, and had to get my hands on all that candy looking goodness. I love the ability to change my hair color with my mood, something that happens in my "Other" world with dizzying speeds.

Friday Night City

It's Friday, and that means a whole gaggle of new Fifty Linden Friday deals on offer for just $50L. This week sees a new release from [Girl Thursday] that has two color options available on sale until midnight tonight only. This adorable sueded halter top matches a previously released buckle skirt, but is great all on it's own too. Each color actually comes in two variations, so that means two new tops for one great price. Not only that, but the boobie girls are going to love that [Girl Thursday] offers mesh breast appliers with this release. You can nab yourself the Black/Black and Pearl version, or a Hot Pink/Hot Pink and Black version for the $50L sale price. After midnight tonight, the price goes back to it's regular deal, but all 8 color version packs are must haves for a hot summer look. Don't you just love a good deal from [Girl Thursday] on a Friday?
