Hair Fair 2013 Brickness sim

The last Hair Fair sim I went to, I saw all these hair from Miamai and I went wow.... I've never bought any hair from this store before because they were all too fancy for me and I know Moon won't have any opportunity to wear them but these hair pieces were too pretty to pass, I had to collect them... at least for future photographs. And there is the good cause. So I quickly set my spending guilt aside.

Miamai Degarda... reminds me of the olden days when women wear hats with big flowers.

Miamai Latin Lover Gaucho Hat..... says it all.

Miamai Loroi... Island lady.

Miamai Sakura..... Oriental lady.

All the jewelries are from Donna Flora. Gown is from Paris Metro. Shirt is from TuttiFrutti.

sweet polka dots

Polkadots are irresistable. Somehow, when it was time to choose from so many other floral textures, I ended up with this polka dot dress from -tb-

Hair Fair 2013 Port Sim

I;m not sure if I already have a similar short hair style as this hair from Chichikie called Pepper. But even if I do, I probably have it in blonde. It's only now that I'm starting to collect dark coloured hair.
The sundress is from Finesmith and cost 89L for group members.

My modern house is almost finished except for the roof. So while I procrastinate on completing the roof, I decorated the poolside and  brought out Carter and pretend they're having barbeque.

Hair Fair 2013 Cloud Sim

I finally got into Hair Fair. I have to say, when the legos were small, they didn't look so imposing and glaringly bright. But it was an event to help children, so I guess legos make sense.

I thought I would do 1 sim at a time. There was a lot of great looking hair on the Cloud sim and if I had not made all sorts of excuses(like this hair looks similar to the one I have or this hair is too stiff even if it's pretty and this hair looks good only for photography blah blah blah), I would have spend more. I am trying very hard not to be spendthrift because I had already spend a lot on furnitures and then there were textures I had to get for the new house I am building.

Moon is wearing Lelutka Lorella. It comes with a wreath but I am using the Alice bow instead.

This hair looks so cute and fun, I had to have it. It's from a store I have never heard of before Xplosion Jules.

Right now I'm working on a modern contemporary house with swimming pool and even a garage! I know, pretty ambitious but I had to see if I could do it. That's the pool in both pictures. I haven't aligned the textures yet. Aligning textures are so tedious.

Is it time to grow up yet?

Today is my birthday.
First thing I notice is, nothing has changed much over the year. I still try to please people, adapt myself to whatever that pleases them and then feel miserable for doing so. In my real life, I have minimized doing this so why am I bringing my bad habit into SL? It's important for people who are special to me to like me, but should they also not like me for whatever I am and how I project my avatar? It's alright to compromise a little, but to do it till I loose all zest for slife, is it worth it? Do I have to be boringly normal in SL too? Like right now I just want to dress my avatar like an elven with pale skin and otherworldly look. In rl I can't project my artsy self but in SL, anything goes and when I think about it, being an elf is not so way out there. It's just the pointy ears.
If I can love them for what they are, warts and all, why can they not do that for me?

Today I want to be a mer-elf. Is there such a thing? It's SL and I can have my avatar looking anyway I want to. It is my fantasy.
