Hair Fair, New Stuff, Deals and Freebies, Viewer Talks and Random Nonsenses

My experiments and I are back! I gathered so much stuff in the past days that I will never be able to blog everything...events, new releases, special deals, gifts, things on Second Life run too fast! It took me a week to put together all this, so *Imperio* read! 

New releases a cute ensemble from The Sea Hole and exclusive releases at Hair Fair 2011 from AOHARU and Wasabi Pills (remember that when you buy something at Hair Fair, part of the proceeds goes to the charity organization Wigs For Kids) Also, an amazing retro pair of shoes from Donna Flora, that is not new but I totally love it, and a free outfit from The Sea Hole. 

Top & Skirt: The Sea Hole - Annis Top, (barley Sheer) mauve & Smocked Skirt - Coral - they are sold separatedly, they're available as an ensemble in the same color or you can mix and match among the offered colors as I did. The top comes in 2 versions, barely transparent and very transparent, and the skirt comes upper lace and lower lace versions. 103L + 117L.

Hair: AOHARU @ Hair Fair - Megan (espresso) - 220L (50% donation) 

Shoes: Donna Flora - Ilde Shoes (rose) - 350L

Since I logged in on Firestorm to try the new copy-to-clipboard-worn-stuff feature, at this point I decided to try shadows again. They are still unsupported, as the viewer itself warns us when enabling them, but I'm stubborn...and I managed to take this close up to show you better the lovely hairstyle...

...but then I dared too much...I knew it was better not to move my camera with shadows enabled, but I did it anyway. I took the pic, hit on save...and crashed! I was lucky enough to get this closeup on the shoes. The windlight setting I had on for the headshot messes up a bit the skin matching but I swear it was very good!! I worked a lot on that and I was very pround, but I didn't feel brave enough to try again... So I disabled shadows and relogged to take the rest of the pics!

Outfit: The Sea Hole - WeedTastic Freebie Outfit - free on the marketplace, belt and bag included. 

Hair: Wasabi Pills @ Hair Fair - Mochi Hair - Chocolate - 250L (not specified amount % donation)

Sandals: KIWI - Zimra Flat Sandal Black - 60L. This sculpt has been around for a while and since I'm a fan of the flat sandals, a bit neglected in favor of heels, I tried some of them even though I'm not crazy for the sculpt itself. This is the best achievement I have seen so far, it comes with a hud for skin, nails and toe ring (quite easy to use) and it's part of the Sixty Lindens Weekend. 

Exclusive release from EMO-tions at Hair Fair, new releases from je suis... and VERO MODERO, special deal from Dark Mouse. Let's have a look!

Dress: VERO MODERO - Dolce Maroon - 300L 

Hair: EMO-tions @ Hair Fair - Alice (dark brown) - isn't that cute? It comes also with flowers! 245L (50% donation) 

Bangles: je suis... - je suis... grande reds - 149L (all color pack 599L)

Jewelry Set: Dark Mouse @ Disco Deals - I like skittles too - necklace, earrings and bangles, 99L each. 

I think I talked even too much for today! Hugs to you all!

Summer Sun Something's Begun

Days are getting super hot here, my avi and I are very grumpy about that (as well as our pc! We're begging for mercy!). 

I am officially trying Firestorm viewer, after fighting with Phoenix for months, and let's see what happens. 

My first pics on the new viewer are featuring some beautiful designs I needed to catch up with (and I'm not done yet, no no no...). Let's have a look! I haven't dared to try shadows and other stuff yet. 

Outfit: VERO MODERO - Blossom Set Leaf - it's super cute, isn't it? I'm in love with this shade of pink. 

Shirt: VERO MODERO - Hawaii Shirt Hibiscus  

Jeans: District - Denzel Jeans/Dark Wash Ripped
