Boom! Clap!
You make me feel good

It’s a new month and that means tons of new things appearing in new rounds of events and also the return of annual events. I think now that I’ve been blogging female centric items for a bit the feeling of awkwardness has completely burned away (it’s a completely different thing to have an alt or at least that’s how I feel). This post felt from top to bottom like I knew what I was doing and am pretty jazzed about the outcome (windlight, outfit, angle and lighting all falling right into place).
The most exciting part about this blog is that it kicks off my coverage of Vintage Fair and for those of you that might be stumbling onto this site for the first time or you are even new to the world of Second Life, let me explain a little bit about this event.
Vintage Fair is a collection of Clothing & Accessories, Furniture and also poses all theme for a certain past decade or time period (this year is dedicated to anything prior to the 1980’s which covers a lot of ground). The event is taking place from the 7th of June through the 16th and is being brought to us by Pale Girl Productions and Schutlz Bros. (who make very nice mesh buildings and furniture). Sponsors for the event include but is not limited to: The Annex, LAQ, Hair SL and Euphoric.
The first two items featured are both from Ohemo (bloggers are suppose to blog more than one item of different designers but I’d finished this before that information reached me so I apologize in advance and will make sure my other posts are right I promise!) The hat I have on is one of two that are going to be for sale at the event and between “LOVE” and “COOL” I chose the latter as I prefer when everything around me is cool. Also take note that I am featuring the fatpack version as at the actual event there may be singular versions as well.
This hat has a HUD with 4 different areas (top, middle, lower and “cool”) that can be colored and with 18 colors for each face to allow you a distinct and unique hat style that is true to your style and help you to look pretty sweet just roaming around events like Vintage Fair or just taking a day at the beach. This is just the thing I like when it comes to fatpacks…the more colors the better so I can dictate what I’m feeling at the moment I put it on.
Accessorizing with the hat, I’m also wearing the “Nancy Retro Shades” which are super stylish with a Ray-Ban vibe but with an added touch of the metal studs in the front of the frames. There are also four faces (Frame, Sides, Lenses and Screws) that can be color changed with the frames/sides each having 18 colors, the lenses having 5 and the screws with 2. To be honest if I don’t see people out on the grid wearing these or blogging them I’d be a little disappointed because of how well made they are; not to mention that it is near summer and sunglasses are pretty much mandatory!

To go along with my warm weather vibes I’ve got a new release from Lapointe & Bastchild that can be found at the latest round of Uber. They have a separate outfit release and I chose to feature the “April Crocheted Top” to go along with the rest of my upper body items and not end up cutting anything out of my main shot.
The HUD included with the FATPACK version has two pages of color styles and I played around with the different colors to fit the scene until I made my final decision but it has a lot of excellent choices to choose from and has the quality that you can expect from L&B. It definitely matches well with the “May Kayla Pants” which I am sure that I will be blogging in the time to come.

For those of who you are planning to visit Vintage Fair, I feel it would be helpful to show you the maps and landmarks for both North and South sims so that when the event does open you will have your game plan as to which sim you want to rush to first to pick up your fun new items. There are so many wonderful creators and their stores taking part in this event.
North Sim
South Sim
Also remember that with the first few days it will likely be very busy on both sims so do not get disenchanted with getting in, there will be plenty of time during the event for everyone to get the items they want.
Rejoice as summer should…chase away sorrows by living.
