Braving the Abyss

My inventory is out of control. I own more stuff than I could ever wear and I continue to add to the abyss daily because of my shopping habit. Come to think of it, that's not much different than my RL wardrobe situation (lol). Unfortunately, I can't seem to help myself. Admittedly, I love to shop and I love to share many of the fabulous goodies I find in SL with you via this blog. So, here's a look at some of my favorite new inventory items, I hope you enjoy them.






First up, is a stunning cocktail dress called Natalia from Pulchritude, which means beautiful and aptly describes this dress. Some of you may know that Juliette Pashinin, Pulchritude owner and designer, makes some of some of the sexiest body paints in SL (includng a cute new Halloween design). However, it is my opinion she makes some of the cutest dresses and lingerie too!

It was my love for feathers that first drew me to Juliette's design style. Now, I own just about everything she's made. I find her style to be simplistic, yet daring, chic, and sexy. I also love the fact that her clothing is well made, and affordably priced.

The look above is rounded out with more favorites which include a pair of cool pearl and chain bracelets by Dadina Dosei of DD Style (from the Gothic Rock fullpack) and the lovely new Neyya pumps in black suede from Maitreya.






Next, is an adorable little hat called Hallow's Eve that I got from Atomic Bambi. I love it! In fact, it's the closest thing to a Halloween costume that I've worn in years. Additionally, I'm really feeling the shallow water eyes from Poetic Colors, Innocent lashes (gentle) from Glow, and Tanya hair (espresso) from Truth.


More of my current favorites include Evie Hair from Truth (I could wear it every day if I did not have a thousand other styles that needed attention). Last, but certainly not least, I am absolutely crazy about the Fiona Skin from Free Speerit (pictured above in the Night makeup option)! It's an awesome Ebony skin and I wear it often because it's so versatile and photgraphs well.

Hawt Hair vol. 2 - Hair Fair 2009

OMG! It's my favorite time of year in SL because the Hair Fair has started. I absolutely hate trying to get into the fair because it seems impossible but once I get inside I feel like I'm in hair heaven. It took me about 6 hours over the course of 3 days to visit all the stores. I won't even begin to speculate about how much I spent, but I bought a lot of hair.... smh.

In case you are not familiar with the Hair Fair or are tempted not to participate, here's a little information that will hopefully change your mind. The Hair Fair is a 2-week event that congregates all things related to Hair in Second Life. The Fair spreads over an area of more than 2 million square feet, has a Candy Land theme, and its goal is to raise money for Locks of Love .

Locks of Love is an awesome charity because it helps millions of kids who are deprived of one of the marks of normality – having hair. Specifically, Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

This year's goal is to raise $12,000 for the charity. If you love hair in SL, you can't miss this event.

My previous blog entry features a few of my favorites from the fair and here are a few more (in no particular order).


Moon from Maitreya:





Madamoiselle from Vanity Hair:





Dog Roses from lamb:



Cake from Magika:









There are hundreds of beautiful styles to choose from but I was most impressed by the offerings from Maitreya, Magika, Lamb, and Booperfunk (I love those fros). So go out and support Locks of Love and get yourself some fabulous hair. The fair ends on July 4. As you prepare to visit, consider wearing as few prims as possible... that means going bald, removing attachments, and taking your shoes off. Lag is a beast... please do your part to tame it!!!
