Doing the Hair Fair!

So you know I'm all about the freebies and cheapies, but one of the things I will spend my lindens on is hair. And one of the best place to get hair each year is at the Hair Fair because a percentage of all sales goes to Wigs for Kids. Not to mention, Hair Fair has a great selection of limited edition hair styles from tons of designers. And don't worry all you freebie-lovers, there is a 10th anniversary gift at almost every stop!

But today I wanted to share with you the purchases I made, and how I navigated my way through the fair. I managed to limit myself to just four purchases, but it was so hard! And it's all about long red hair for me! Here are my winners!...

 (top left) .::Exile::. Siren's Call (Reds//20 shades) (250L at Hair Fair - Noirette sim)

(top right) *~*Damselfly*~* Juniper (Dark Reds+Faded//20 shades) (250L at Hair Fair - Blonde sim)

(bottom left) ICONIC STELLA (Vamps//6 shades) (300L at Hair Fair - Redhead sim)

(bottom right) no.match_ NO_DRAMA (Reds//9 shades) (200L at Hair Fair - Redhead sim)

Now, given the huge popularity of this event, it is hard to get in to. You are going to deal with lag, that's no question, but getting in is the harder part! I was able to get through all the sims on opening day yesterday, so I have some tips on how to do the Hair Fair, or at least, how I did the Hair Fair!

1) Throw on something with the least amount of scripts. Some people even float around in just a full body alpha and a hairbase. I guess I was a little too vain for that. LOL But I do suggest it.

2) There are several extra landing points for the Hair Fair. I chose the one with the least amount of traffic, which at the time was Streaks (a), but all the additional ones are listed on the website here. This one leads to the Readhead sim. (BTW, each sim is named for a hair color, but it has nothing to do with the color of hair available in each sim!) Here you will see everyone lined up at the entrance, most in a puff of unrezzed smoke! As soon as you hit the new sim, it will bounce you back and send you a message that says, 'You can't enter region "Rhodium". It may be full or restarting soon.' You just need to hold down that up arrow on the keyboard, keep getting bounced back and getting that message over and over again until you get through. This may take a few minutes, and you may look like an idiot, but it works, so just have some patience. Don't let go of that button until you are far into the sim! 

3) Make sure you get the Hair Fair notecard or you can refer to the website for the map. I visited each booth in the Redhead sim, picking up the demos I wanted to try along the way. Then I headed to one of the runways, where there are built-in poses, to try them all on away from the other Avis and all the action. I took snapshots saved to my computer to compare them side by side. Then I referred back to the map and flew out and got the ones I wanted before moving on to the next sim. Why? Because you are going to have to follow the same method in step 2 above of holding down the up arrow key to make it into the other sims! Remember you've got three more sims to visit!

Now get out there and shop till you drop! The event ends on July 26th.

Hunt Finds: Best of The Dirty Diva Hunt

It's time! My first hunt post! So let me start out by saying, I had lofty intentions with what I was going to do with hunt reviews. I literally tried to to take pictures, and well, not very pretty ones, of me in everything I found on this hunt. With over 50 items, it became a bit too labor intensive. So, I'm changing up my game plan.

In my hunt reviews, I'll, of course, give you a few details about the hunt, but I will feature a favorite item and/or try to put together a look from several different items from the same hunt spread out over a couple of posts! I will try to list the other items that appear in my pics too, in case you like them! And since I am learning photography and think I would find it helpful, I will share with you the location and windlight setting I used. So let get on with it, shall we?!?

So since I mulled over how to go about doing this post for so long, Sweet Thang's The Dirty Diva Hunt is more than half over! But you still have over a week left to find some goods, as it runs through September 9th. And I hope to post a few highlights over the next couple of days.

You'll be looking for a little mascara tube. At a few stops, I just couldn't find it, but I still came away with a slew of items! And luckily, the Sweet Thang website gives you hints for most stops. The best part is that all the items are absolutely free!

So here I am at the first stop, Divalicious Designs, in front of the info sign and in the ensemble you will find at this location. Yes, even the hair, sunglasses, and jewelry are included!

So here's my first favorite find from stop #20, Bump & Co. A cute little red and black flower lace number. Check out that very sexy plunge neckline on this little dress too!

Eyes: Eyes 03 by Solace (no idea where I got this, but probably a freebie or dollarbie)

Hair: V-day Aphrodite Special Edition Valentine's Colors @ Alice Project (L$50)

Makeup: 

Vermelho intenso @ GloSSy (can't find GloSSy anymore! :( )

So Cute Eyeliner (red) @ [ M O N S ]  (I think it was a freebie or dollarbie gift)

Tattoo lashes gift @ { T O X I C } (LM no longer works)

Shape: Summer [ HUSH ] (past free group gift)

Skin: Summer - SeaBlue - Cream @ [ HUSH ] (past free group gift)

Feet: Women's Feet High @ SLink (L$675)

Hands: Women's Hands Elegant1 @ SLink (L$450)

Jewelry: Monica Sport Sexy Clothes Red Bracelets @ Jstyle (past free group gift)

Shoes: Dakota SLink Shoes @ Live Glam K Collection (L$99 at a sale event)

Dress: Cowl Neck Dress - Red Lace @ Bump & Co (free in The Dirty Diva Hunt!)

Location: The Looking Glass (where I rezzed the Enchanted Ballroom)

Windlight: Nacon's Sweet Dawn

Wanting to experiment with the photography, I took another pic of this look, so check it out on my Flickr account! This was also taken at The Looking Glass, but I will be honest, I have no idea what was rezzed there at the time, as I thought it was permanent! But I do know, the Windlight was: AnaLutetia - AvatarOpt2 whiter.

Can't wait to show you more!

love love,
Skyler
