I’ve never been very good at getting things ‘off my chest’. I’ve often kept thoughts and feelings bottled up inside me because I didn’t want to encumber anyone else with my negativity or because I’ve been worried about the reaction. I’m very capable of letting my mind think of the very worst case scenario and when I do actually, finally, get to the point where I talk about things I’m so very often pleasantly surprised and relieved by the response from others.  I had that situation more than once yesterday and, although deep down I already knew that this would happen, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders.  You can tell a lot about a person and your relationship with them by the way they react when you have those difficult conversations.

On Saturday this week the Hair Fair 2016 opens it’s many doors.  Set across 4 sims you will be totally spoilt for choice from the designers producing new hair specifically for the event. The absolute best way to prepare your first expedition to the Hair Fair is to join the demo group. Designers will start sending the demos on Friday 15th July which gives you the opportunity to try them at home, decide what you want and then when the Hair Fair opens you can hone in those stores you want to buy from with ease.  This year there are also, not one, but 2 cam shopping sims to help you get the hair you want, when you want.

To join the demo group copy and paste this into local chat in world and then click the link to open the group info. The group is free to join.  secondlife:///app/group/2e30d166-f3e5-e2de-ff72-b3da2d06ded2/about

About the Stuff:

So on to items in my featured pics today.  The Liaison Collaborative is open again and this month the theme is Dreamweaver.  I love the colours and tones of this lean-to outdoor space from unKindness called Our Little Oasis and hardly surprising that the Industry 7 Wall Feathers worked so well with the pack too as the people behind unKindness and Industry 7 are real life couple Jamie and Poe Cross.

You’d have thought my dress came from the same event? nuh-uh! It seems it’s a popular theme in SL at the moment (which is great from the point of view of us photographers and bloggers – lots of items that work together!) as the dress is from The Annex at The Secret Affair which opens on Friday 15th July.  Uma comes in 4 colours in a neutral colour palette and in fitmesh, Maitreya and both Slink sizes.
