Posted on July 17, 2014 by Guinevere Kirshner

Here comes Hair Fair post number two! I’m going to squeeze in as much as I can in this post, so bear with me. This has been one busy month for designers and bloggers. There are a ton of great events going on. Here’s some more of my hair fair favorites!

AMACCI

First up we have the adorable pigtails & buns from Amacci.. these are just my style. The hairs come with a color change hud which, includes several hair colors along with some ombre/fades, and you can also change the colors of the bows.

LM to Amacci @ hair fair

Amaicci also has a bangin’ freebie that comes in a ton of colors, shown below!

LITTLE BONES

Here are my favorites from Little Bones this year at the event. I love this brown to pastel pink fade color because it reminds me of my RL hair (talk about high maintenance!).

Little Bones @ hair fair

SUGARSMACK

I discovered Sugarsmack last year at hair fair and the Brynn hair is one of my favorites this year. Braids<3!!

GEEK

Next we have Geek. These hairs come with a color change hud as well, and you can also change the color of the streaks in the hair for a more customizable look!

This is just one of many Hair Fair posts to come. I’ll be showcasing !Ohmai in this post as well as a bright and summery yellow outfit. All of the hairs from !Ohmai come in a tweeter and non-tweeter version. I’m only showing the birdy versions because I love them. All colors shown below come from the candy pack, because I also <3 it! The pack has pastel and bright colors with streaks and all color packs come with a hud where you can change the color of each bird as well as any other accessory. Such a cutecutecute idea! It seems like just yesterday I was doing last years Hair Fair post! I can't believe I have been blogging for a year straight with no hiatus.

Ice Cream Friday & My Blogging Journey Meme

Posted on June 6, 2014 by Guinevere Kirshner

I thought I was going to do a super quick blog post, but turns out I am really bad about checking to make sure attachments aren’t going into my face/body. Whoops. Soo.. An hour later.. I finally have some bloggable photos. Photos were taken on the always adorable itutu sim. I also wanted to do the My Blogging Journey meme from Strawberry Singh.

Which electronic devices do you use to blog with?
I use my desktop computer only for this blog. I sometimes use my phone to update RL blogs with something quick like a photo post.

Do you have a mission statement for your blog, if so, what is it?
HUMP ERRYBODY! JK. Um. I just want to showcase my style, find new and gorgeous places in world, and wanted a new hobby, really.

How do you feel about blogs that use their platforms to spread negativity?
Those kinds of posts should be saved for personal blogs, not blogs where you are showcasing the work of others or where your personal life is not the focus of the blog. Even better– if you want to rant maybe keep a personal journal so you can expel that negativity and be done with it without causing a whole dramatic ordeal. Unless that is what you are going for. *shrugs*

Are you a grammar junkie? Do you thoroughly check your blog for errors before posting and/or do you judge other people’s posts if they contain errors?
I’m a horrible speller, so I do use spell check. I don’t use perfect grammar and I sometimes type things out as I would speak the words. I also don’t judge others on how they choose to blog. If the grammar and spelling on someones blog are so bad it hurts my lil head to read… I will probably not visit that blog again.

If you could switch blogs with another blogger who would it be?
Can I choose Jenna Marbles? Fuck yeah, I can. And I do.

Has your blog/blogging style evolved over the year(s)? How?
My photos are getting better sort of… (finally, geeeze).

What is the most extraordinary thing that has happened to you because of blogging?
Uhh… compliments, I suppose. I’m not a super popular blogger! Also I’ve had RL blogs featured in popular news papers and magazines.

When it comes to Second Life blogs, there are different styles: Fashion bloggers, Lifestyle & Travel bloggers, Informative bloggers, and more. Which style do you prefer and where do you feel your blog fits in?
Fashion for the most part. Eventually I would like to incorporate some playlists in the music section of this website (not the annoying auto play kind, lol) because music is a huge part of my SL. I have been doing more exploring to find interesting places for photos so I wouldn’t mind taking my blog in the fashion/travel direction.

What has blogging taught you?
That it is really freakin’ hard to drive traffic to an SL blog.

Share your top 3 tips for new bloggers.
Don’t be a dick, be yourself, and challenge yourself to be a better blogger/photographer/stylist/photoshopper.
