Hair Fair 2011 – Hair Fair Photo Contest II !

Whose Hair Will you Wear

It is time for our Second Hair Fair 2011 Photo Contest. When this years build was created, it was always the intention of the committee to make it as photogenic as possible. We invited aDORKable Poses to join us once again in this endeavour. This year they have exceeded our expectations, and the sims are really fun to be at.

Many have already taken such incredible pictures of the builds, we want to step that up into a mix of Hair Fairs latest releases, you and the pose oppurtunities available. This contest starts NOW and will end on the day after Hair Fair officially closes – which is the 16th of July at midnight.

The photo you enter must have you – or someone granting you permission to take their pic – in the photo with NEW Hair Fair 2011 hair on. Posed on one of the aDORKable poseballs set up at the fair, with the prop and/or fairground in the background. The hair must be recognisable as Hair Fair 2011 hair, and the pose must also be recognisable as one at the event. So be careful when cropping your pictures.

You will find all the rules on the flickr group page, but please please make sure you tag the photos and put the description in as asked. Failure to do so will void your entry, and that makes us cry.

Prizes have been donated by What’s New SL, aDORKable Poses  and VR Studio.

Hair Fair 2011 – Shagtastic

4th of July Bombshell I put this outfit together a while ago, but recently updated it with Sway’s beach bag.  I’m wearing skin and eye gifts available from Ploom and Digital Eyes at Hair Fair.  Shag has released two women’s styles at Hair Fair 2011, this one is Bombshell, which I love! It’s a great layered angled bob. Super tousled, good structure.  I’m also wearing a release from the beginning of summer from DeLa, a cute open cardigan, with color change buttons, over a great one piece dress from E! in navy.  These shoes from Slink are a dream to tint, and fun to wear.  While at the fair I noticed this jewelry set in an ad for hair at SugarsmacK, and rushed right over to get it at Indy&Co.   It’s available in a variety of colors, and features the necklace and earrings to match.

4 of July Bombshell:
Hair: Shag – Bombshell – Autumn  [Available at Hair Fair]
Skin: Ploom – Maia – Toffee – BR – Eyeliner 2  [Available at Hair Fair-Booth Gift]
Eyes: Digital Eyes – Classic Eyes! – Grey Smaller  [Available at Hair Fair-Booth Gift]
Lashes: Chaisuki – Lashes 09
Jewelry: Indy&Co – Suha Stones – Russet
Sweater: DeLa – Open Cardi  Lynn – White  (red button color change)
Dress: e! – Annie – Navy
Manicure: Mandala – Takara Nail – Red
Bag: Sway’s – Beachbag – USA
Shoes: Slink – Ariadne II – White
Poses: oOo Studio
Posestand/Studio: VR Studio by VR Foundry

Shag Ingenue
This dress was a surprise to find at Nylon Outfitters, I totally didn’t expect to find it, as I usually associate them with more casual wear.  It’s cute, and totally ready for a party, which I thought was perfect with Shag’s other women’s hair from Hair Fair. I feel somewhere in between Holly Golightly and Romy and Michel.  I love the height of it, and that it stills is long.

Party Ingenue:
Hair: Shag- Ingenue – Autumn  [Available at Hair Fair]
Skin: Tuli – Zoe – Sunkissed – lips Kiss
Eyes: Amacci – Real Eyes – Winter
Lashes: Chaisuki – Lashes 09

Around The Metaverse

A Revolt in EVE Online, Linden Lab take note

As mentioned in a previous post CCP launched the latest expansion for EVE Online, Incarna. Derided by some of the hardcore pod pilots and praised as an evolution by others Incarna rolled out on 21 June. Aside from the compatibility issues the new expansion presented to players with older computers, there were several issues and a pair of leaked staff emails set New Eden afire with anger, resentment and a profound sense of betrayal.

One of the main issues dealt with the price of vanity items in the new marketplace for avatar customization. The avatars for EVE are actually quite well done and textured. They are in my opinion some of the best in the MMORPG realm.
GoSpeed Racer in EVE OnlineOh reallyRavishal

A nice avatar needs nice clothes and accessories too! Here in lies a big problem. In the marketplace the choices are rather limited and very expensive. Typical outfit costs $17.50 USD. Yes, you read right. A monthly subscription to EVE costs $14.95 a month. That of course is outrageous! In SL I’d typically buy outfits for $300-$900L which is less than $4 USD. Probably the worst example is the infamous monocle:

Would you believe it sells for $70 USD? No way Jose! This of course didn’t fly with the users. Getting people used to avatars  was going to be a tough sell in the first place. For the amount of money they wanted to charge it makes more sense to collect Barbie dolls as they retain their value and over time gain value as collectors items.
