Hair Fair 2008 - holy crap, stuff for guys!

I think it took me four days to get through Hair Fair this year, a combination of spare (okay, I’ll qualify that to “more or less available”) time in my evenings during the week and weekend afternoons. Hey, there was a lot to see–87 hair designers spread across four sims.  That’s a workout even if you’re in good shape.  Somehow it just felt BIGGER this year, although I know the event took up four sims last year too.  [My memory misinformed me--Hair Fair 2007 occupied two sims, not four.  See the Comments for the authoritative scoop.]  The layout this year was a big change from last year’s more mall-like plan.  The build architecture by Rezzable (by Washu Zebrastripe, Damien Fate and Selena Gateaux, hosted in sims provided by Rezzable) reflected Mayan influences, as you can see in the large structure shown here, a kind of “temple” pyramid which served as an arrival/welcome area.  There was a comfortably appointed rest area as well as displays featuring custom styles for auction to benefit Locks of Love and winners of a Flickr photo contest.  Designer booths were arranged in ranks around the central temple in long rows set at angles to one another.  If it sounds confusing–it certainly could be, if for instance I had (hypothetically, of course) crashed or relogged a few times and lost track of where I had already been.  If it sounds exhausting to you–I suppose it might be, especially if you tried to do the whole thing in one sitting.  If it sounds like fun–well, I had a good time shopping (hair whore that I am) and chatted with some nice people along the way.

Think about it this way: I go to Hair Fair so you don’t have to.  (more…)

Freebies from Calico and Skin Fair

Calico Creations celebrated its new store this past weekend with a party and group freebie offerings. Here’s the hair style, called Kevin. Its a bit long in front for my tastes, but its a clean style and easy to fit. Its offered as a fatpack with plenty of different colors. I’m wearing Raven for the close up on the side, so you can actually see the prim work and details. I’m wearing Midnight and Dark Brown in the skin pics after the cut. To get it, join the Calico creations group and click on the sign at the store. (more…)
