Hair Fair 2022

blue Events, LotD

Hair Fair is open today!  It runs until the 10th of July, so there is tons of time to visit.

There is a small number of FREE gifts available, and for me the standout was this updo bun.  It’s only in browns, but it does have a tint HUD, which allowed me to get a dark red.

The hairdo comes in four different styles and includes a variety of differently styled bangs as well.  It’s unrigged and therefore resizable and you can reposition it.  The HUD includes a selection of mostly dark browns, and with the mesh detailing and the ability to turn materials on provided by the HUD, produces a nice realistic look!

As I mentioned, there is a tint HUD included, but the base colors are dark browns, which mostly resist tinting, so if you’re exclusively a blonde, this one’s not for you 🙂

Oh, and Hair Fair supports Wigs For Kids, a worthy charity.  Don’t forget to buy your bandana while you’re at the event!

This is the standout dress from SLB19 today (actually, I shopped yesterday)!  I’ve now done thirteen of the twenty sims that make up the shopping event.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned yet that the theme for the celebration is “steampunk”.  This genre holds no massive appeal for me (although I appreciate some of the decorations that people dream up for it, for example the steampunk sim at the Sci Fi Con recently).  This might be the reason that I’m not noticing so many clothes as gifts… there are not a lot of people creating clothes for steampunk?

This wonderful lacy dress is available to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Reborn.  It comes with a multi color HUD to allowing you to choose the color for the main dress and the accents and belt separately.

Here’s a list of direct teleports for all creators at SLB19 Shop & Hop, where this gift can be found.

Hello sweets!  I’ve unfortunately been caught up in RL over the last couple of days and have missed posting something from SLB19.  But here we go!  I’ve now looked at nine sims, only eleven to go!

This gift dress from Alter was the standout for me today.  It’s pretty boho styling is available to fit Lara, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Kupra Bimbo.

The outstanding gift from my shopping escapade at SLB19 today is this corset top and skirt from Blackstone, a new store to me.

The top and skirt are separates, and both fit Lara, Legacy, and Kupra.  A HUD with fifteen color choices for the fabric and four color choices for the metal is included too.  The texture details are very nice!

SLB19 Shop & Hop

The Shop and Hop event for SL’s 19th Birthday celebrations is open today!  There are twenty sims and a lot of creators present!  I’ve read that there are about 400 creators attending the event, and most of them are stocking at least one FREE gift for everyone!

I suspect my best plan will be to do some of the sims each day, so I looked at three today, and these two bikinis from different designers where the standout gifts.

The top, bottoms, and sarong of this bikini are separates.  All three pieces are sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Kupra, Kupra Kups, Hourglass, Isis, and Freya.  The detailing and fit is excellent as you’d expect from a huge creator like Lepointe and Bastchild.

A nice feature of the delivery HUD is just unpack the outfits for the bodies you want, instead of unpacking it all and then deleting what you don’t need.

And I found this surprisingly similar bikini from Tori’s Stylez, a far smaller operation that L&B, but the attention to detail is just as good!

For this one, the top and bottoms are one piece and the sarong is separate.  There are sizes to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Kupra, and Freya.   It comes with a HUD with three color choices for the bikini and wrap.

This is a past group gift by WellMade.  Their group is FREE to join.

This hoodie bodysuit is sized to fit Lara, Legacy, Freya, Venus, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique.  It comes with a HUD containing fourteen camouflage patterns!  It requires a bit of alpha, and unfortunately is not quite tight enough to wear with my favorite pair of jeans.  But I do love the camo!

Minis are in

blue LotD

Miniskirts are in this year, but I don’t know I’d wear one this short in RL lol

This is a past group gift from Scandalize.  Their group is L$20 to join, which is an absolute bargain!

This ruffled top and ultra mini skirt are separates and both are sized to fit Lara, Legacy, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass.  As with most Scandalize gifts, this is a fatpack with multiple color and texture options for the ruffles, skirt, and top.

Summer Festival Vibes

blue Events, LotD

Alaska Metro and The Free Dove have teamed up for this month’s in-store hunt!  There are ten items to find, five at The Free Dove, and five at Alaska Metro’s store.  You’ll need to join the FREE group at The Free Dove to get the hunt items.

Here’s the poster…

The Annika lingerie is on system layers (separate top and bottom, and combined on tattoo layers) which looks great on BoM enabled bodies like Lara.  For convenience, it also comes with an Omega applier.  It comes in brown as well as this white.  And the Misty coverup fits Lara, Legacy, and a standard medium, and as well as the while I’m showing you, also comes in a dark brown and pink floral pattern.

There are eight other items I’m not showing you, so you should rush off to the stores and find the items for yourselves!
