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!

I had a birthday the other day! I got a new computer for it! It's nice, I pushed my old one too hard really, but the shadows on this one are crisper anyway, so that's cool. Anyway when it was my birthday there was a nice little beach party for me and here's what I wore to it and subsequently the next 3 days because I've been busy/procrastinatingy. Also because it's rad to run around in a bikini when you look this good.

The bikini itself is soooo cute and by Bubble, released last year but still so cute for this summer, especially if you never got that Rare Zaara bikini from Arcade. I actually totally did, but I didn't want to be a cliche. I needed REALLY cute tattoos to go with it though, and after asking around, settled on these Sailor Moon themed ones from Antielle, which tick all kinds of boxes, being colourful and cute, available in various levels of fadedness, and still being kind of badass. Very happy with them indeed.

While I didn't wear the infamous Arcade bikini, my hair is from this round of Arcade, by Spellbound, and is lovely, the scarfy bit hangs down at the back nicely, and the other version of it in the machine has a lovely big bow at the front, and each pack comes with looooads of hair colours AND band patterns. Also from Arcade, the towel rack, by Snips & Snails, which after this picture is going next to my rooftop pool. The pool noodles right next to me are from a different gacha machine, at The Play Room, the McKids machine there has a big pop-up pool with great animations in it as the Rare, so I ended up with a whoooole lot of noodles.

My shoes are by Ducknipple and are admittedly a little precarious for the beach, but for tottering around SL in a bikini, perfect! As ever, they include a color-change hud with like, 12 options in it for good matching. My nails are by Alaska Metropolitan who continues to be some of the best value in SL with the whole pack being 25L for so many nice designs and colors for so many different nail appliers.
