The Secret Affair

I've never been to The Secret Affair event before and I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING! Clearly, I wasn't. There's so many creative and well-made items up for sale -  I just kept saying bye-bye to my Lindens and hello to pretties!

I was feeling so inspired I just had to take a quick shot of some of the goodies i got:

Skin by The Skinnery, Meysha November Moon in toffee
Headpiece by =Zenith=, Gypsy Devine Wreath

Explore The Secret Affair if you can, I highly recommend it (ladies & gents) ;)

HAIR FAIR *SNEAK PEEK*

This year marks the 9th year residents of Second Life have gone mad over virtual hair but with good reason! Hair Fair 2014 boasts exclusive styles in which part of the proceeds benefit children who participate in Wigs for Kids, a program that provides wigs for children who suffer hair loss due to medical reasons, including chemotherapy and severe burns.

"Over 2 million children are affected by hair loss," according to the program. This bridging of SL and RL is one way the virtual community is helping make a positive change in the real world. And it's the smallest smiles who benefit.

 

It all starts this Saturday, July 12 - Sunday, July 27, spanning over 4 sims! There's 'wigs' for men and women so expect some lag. To help with it, be sure to dress down to simple clothing layers and leave the scripts behind.

You can also join the official (AND FREE) Hair Fair Demo Group in-world:

If you're not shopping for hair but you'd still like to show some love, you can always participate in Bandana Day, held the last day of the fair. Just purchase a Hair Fair bandana and wear it around to show your
support :) Each bandana is custom-made and sold exclusively at this event.

With so many sims and so many hairstyles to choose from, I'll be bringing you a few of my top picks so be sure to check back soon for more!
