Hair Fair – Part 1

Gabby Panacek — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 03:05:07 +0000

I adore Hair Fair. It is quite possibly the SL Event I most look forward to. This year, I had the privilege of working with the Hair Fair 2011 committee. What a fantastic group of residents! The hours they put in to make this event one of the most talked about, anticipated and blogged in SL is extraordinary. If you see a committee member wandering around the sims, please let them know how much you enjoy it! Now…On with the hair!

I have so many more styles to blog, but I’m still unboxing demos! I decided to start with some brands that are a mix of old and new-to-me, but who have created some really versatile styles for this year’s event. From left to right: LoQ‘s Liqueur in Chocolate Copper, Raspberry Aristocrat‘s Khloe in Brown Cocoa, Fashionably Dead‘s Lemonade in Brunette 2, TenFifteen‘s Nikki in Dusk 2, and Wasabi Pills‘s Trish in Night Shadow.

Want to know where your favorite stores are located at Hair Fair 2011? Visit the official Hair Fair Blog for the complete listing. Now, if you’ll excuse me…I’ve got to pilfer around for more $Ls and get back to shopping!

A Hairy Situation

Gabby Panacek — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 02:42:34 +0000

Hair Fair is almost here! Are you ready? I’m not! I have a little inventory clean up to get through first. (Check out these tutorials from Anya Ohmai if you need some inventory organization pointers).

Some of you may be skin collectors. Or maybe your virtual closet is overflowing with shoes. Me? I’m a hair hoarder. Blonde, brunette, ginger. Updos, pigtails, long hair, short hair…it doesn’t matter. I love it all. With Hair Fair 2011 just around the corner, I’m spending my in-world time sorting, editing and packing away some older styles to make room for all of the fantastic new coifs created by the uber-talented designers participating in this two-week event benefiting Wigs for Kids. So, for the next few evenings, my Second Life looks something like this:

I did make sure to join the demo group, though. Hair Fair designers will start sending out demo wigs on July 1, so you can try them on and pick out your favorites in the comfort of your own home. Or get together with some of your friends and have a demo party! You can join the Hair Fair DEMO Group by looking in Search Groups, or copy paste this link – secondlife:///app/group/2e30d166-f3e5-e2de-ff72-b3da2d06ded2/about – into chat in world. The entire Hair Fair committee has worked really hard to make this an extraordinary event, and I know you won’t be disappointed. We are so excited about the start of Hair Fair, we can’t wait to see you there!

Hair Fair 2010: Clawtooth by Clawtooth

Gabby Panacek — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 17:49:43 +0000

I love the sweet, almost gamine look of the My Shilova hair from Clawtooth, available at Hair Fair.

I’ve chosen to pair it was some items from two of the other events going on right now. I found Whippet & Buck’s Chapman Shift Dress at the Project Donate sim. Proceeds from this event benefit Unicef’s relief efforts in the wake of the flooding in Pakistan. Tres Blah’s Narcissus skin and the headpiece from LaGyo are available at Designer’s United 4.

Hair Fair 2010: Big Hair

Gabby Panacek — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:57:18 +0000

I do love me some big hair…and here are three big styles available at Hair Fair!

Sharon by Amacci, Breath Me by Shag and Bardot by Gurlywood.

Sharon is a fluffy half-wrapped top pony with lots of volume. Bardot is a high, side-sweeping partial updo from Sixx Kennedy, I think she’s updated her textures and this one really works. But, my favorite of the three is Breathe Me. It is loaded with volume and lots of wave.

The tank is an upcoming release from :. WoE .: and I’m in love with it! I’ll be sure to let you know when it is released. And, the skin is the latest group gift from :: Exodi :: If you are not in the group, you should be! Ryker’s got some new makeups coming out very soon!

Hair Fair 2010: booN

Gabby Panacek — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:45:18 +0000

It wasn’t even a month ago when I asked my Plurk pals where I might find some Lady Godiva-like hair. There were several good suggestions, but none were exactly what I wanted. I had resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to extensively modify something to create the effect I was looking for.

…And then I saw booN’s release for Hair Fair 2010. VNS660 might as well have been taken directly from my imagination as it is exactly what I had in mind. Long, full locks flowing from head to toe, covering all the right bits and leaving just enough to the imagination.

The skin I’m wearing is PXL’s latest, Dafne in Natural, Deep Makeup. I love the smokey eye and almost nude lips. This skin practically begged for red hair, so I opted for ginger locks instead of my usual blonde.

I have more Hair Fair goodies to show you, but be sure to visit for yourself! All proceeds from Hair Fair benefit Wigs for Kids.

Style Notes:
Hair: booN VNS660 in Red [At Hair Fair] [Mainstore]
Feet: SLink Jolie Pied Mid Barefeet
Manicure: Exodi Nails v2 in Jet Black
Skin: PXL Dafne NAT Deep Makeup MEB
Eyes: Exodi Vetro Eyes in Blue
Pose: !Bang
