Busy busy busy busy! 

You know, Hair Fair starts on the 11th? I won't be making my customary post(s) about it until the week after next though, because I'm going to Camp Hardknock in SL, on my adorable kid avatar. I had hoped to ease into this change with some posts of her, but instead, flailing and panic occurs because there are not enough hours in the day! 

Also coming so soon because it's an exciting week, Wizarding Faire! Opening July 12th. I am a massive Harry Potter fan, longtime readers (who am I kidding?) of my blog might remember my posts on the Wizarding Fair a couple of years ago, I am a Hufflepuff and I ain't even sorry. I love to decorate my house in SL with little hints about my being magical, a cauldron of potion on my stove, a stack of spellbooks as a monitor stand, and so on, so these things here from various creators at the event will my heart with ALL the joy because none of them are like "I am a thing from Harry Potter" and are more like "I am a thing magical people have" and I dig that. The plants, by the way, are amazingly animated, they are so much fun and have earned a permanent place in my home <3

This wand isn't really mine though. Mine is larch wood with a phoenix feather core.

The awesome-creepy Furby tattoo on my thigh is from the Body Art Hunt and is by Operate Bodyshop, and so it deserves a lack of pants, as suggested by my shirt by Oaken at IDK this month which you JUST have time to shop if you hurry!

Goodness I've had a busy time. I'm still away from home but I've been all at freezing cold places adn super hot places and far too much airports (thanks, Delta) and hanging out with hyasynth from silent sparrow and Persephone Paine from Dressing in Pixels (separately) and gosh. I don't even know what's going on in Second Life right now! 

Well. That's not quite accurate. Even I know the March round of The Arcade has just started!

My hair in this post is from Olive's machine at this round, called the Daisy, which is gorgeous, it's sort of like Elsa hair but not. At my feet is the newest friend from silent sparrow at the Arcade. hya has been teasing me for months with previews of these weenie dogs, which are just unbearably cute. Their little waddling walking animation. omg. Too cute. So I wish you the best of luck getting either of these and anything else you're hoping for from Arcade.

The other thing that I've been aware of this month is the big update to all the Slink body parts. First of all, the Physique mesh body has had a big overhaul, with the amount of alpha cuts being doubled to 88, making it a lot more flexible in what it's possible to wear with it. The HUD with it has been improved and streamlined too, incorporating the built-in skins and some settings which allow specific combinations of alphas to be saved for easy access. Also, the shape itself has been refined a little, adding just a bit more of the sexy curve offered by the newer bodies. I like it a whole lot, and since I have proper appliers for it and no weird neck join, I am switching back to it full time! At least until something else distracts me.

The other innovation I'm very excited about in this big update is the improvements to the hands and feet. Various utilitarian enhancements include the fact that the wrist or ankle sizes are changeable via hud now, thus saving precious inventory space, different feet can be worn individually rather than in pairs, and that the Utilities hud has been combined for the hands and feet and can be minimized, making it extremely convenient for everyday use. This hud also now offers separate glove and tattoo layers for the hands, and the thing I'm most excited about, the thing I took of my awesome Fashionably Dead oversized coat to show you? (other than my cute Noodles initial bracelet from Collabor88)

YOU CAN SET THE NAIL ART INDIVIDUALLY!!!!!!!

I am so ridiculously overjoyed about this. Each nail, hands or feet, can be a different design. This changes the world. I love it. omg. ded.
