Last weekend for the Hair Fair.

I finally got to the hair fair.  And there are lots of bargains to be had.  About half the stalls have either a freebie or dollarbie.  Many have marked down items.  And everyone posts how much of your purchase goes to the charity.  My only complaints are, some vendors freebie/dollarbie offerings are basically useless and insulting pieces of crap.  For example, this ridiculous thing from Enigma.

Yes, those are swim fins stuck on my head.  And frankly the hair doesn't even look that good.  I find paying even one linden for this insulting and I wont be buying anything from this vendor again.  As usual the gifts from a few vendors are odd colors or rather unusual hair dos you probably wont wear often.  My only other complaint?  Well, they based the whole fair build on Legos.  It was a clever idea.  But the execution made for rather ugly overall build.  Hence, the lack of snapshots of the fair itself.  The swim fins are awful enough.

On the other hand, some vendors were giving away really nice items.  For example these two hair dos.  The fro is from EMO-Tion and the Pony Tail is from Miamai.  The retro cat suit is an old fav from SF Design.  The green shoes and everything I'm wearing in the pony tail shot are from Grumble.  The top and skirt are on special this weekend for 10L.

The afro is a lovely bouncy thing full of flexies, and sits on top of a well done hair base tattoo layer.  The pony tail is mesh, so it doesn't ever inter-penetrate your avatar, but it also tends to defy gravity if you end up in an odd position.  The rest of it is also a very nicely textured hair base.  As you might guess, this year, mesh and tattoo layer hair seem to be big.

Another surprise this year, some of the gifts are clothing items.  I don't remember ever getting any clothing at previous hair fairs.  Not that I'm complaining, they were mostly mesh and rather well done.

Hope you make it to the fair if you already haven't.
