This is that Vintage Fair look that I've been wanting to do forever but just felt so intimidated! I mean, look at these gowns! I couldn't think of a more fitting sim than Rustica for these pictures. 

I love this Cohimbra hair. It's really mohawk-ish, so it can be elegant - to go with an elegant get-up - or it can add elegance to a punk look. I'd love the contrast of that sort of outfit with this hair. And the accompanying hairbase is beautiful and IT MATCHES THE HAIR! 

I guess that's really it. As always, I'll add a picture to my Flickr page. But I really need 25 bucks so I can get the year subscription. I'm at 193 photos, methinks, which means I only have seven more until I can post pictures there anymore. :( Damnit. I need a job. It's pretty sad when you want for 25 bucks.

Aaaaaand that's it. :D

Oh man. Thank holy hell for Collabor88's birthday! There's a ton (more than usual) of items that you'll probably have to have. Once I could finally get into it, I bought nearly everything. Shame on me! Be sure to check the SeraphimSL gallery for pictures of items.

I saw this hair on my friend, Melusina Parkin (of Melu Deco) and had to know from whence it came. She revealed that it was created by the shop, Sadistic Hacker. It's an odd name, yet I found this hair there. So don't be too discouraged! :P There are three versions of Nagi available for purchase - one is with long bangs (which I'm wearing), one with short bangs and yet another with a portion of clipped back hair. I'd say that if you are into anime, then you'd probably appreciate this shop.

I don't think enough people know about Vaughan's House of Curiosities, a wonderful shop of random must-haves! There's hair, there are clothes, hats and even robots! There's a bit of everything at Vaughan's, AND the owner, Marleen Vaughan is a TOTAL sweetheart. THAT always makes a spendid shop even more so. So get on over dur! My favorite there has GOT to be the quirky, versatile hair.

I don't have a SLurl for :) BCC at the VF2012. However, I do plan to "notecard" vitamingirl to ask if she's got a direct SLurl to her booth at the Fair. Then, as always, I'll update.

Finally, you can find this furniture set - and so much more, at LEAST 40 things - from Melu Deco at the VF2012! It's so sleek and pretty and fitting for what I'm wearing. Well, actually, I wanted to blog this set, so the outfit came together just for the furniture. And I have to be the luckiest SL resident ever! Melusina Parkin, owner of Melu Deco, is another total sweetheart. She has been way nicer to me than I have deserved!

I say those things about designers not to brag but to tell you, once again, that, from my experience, designers in SL are friendly, receptive to suggestions and eager to help you. I have not run into a nasty designer yet, and I send a LOT of NCs and IMs. 

ANYWAY, you've got some shopping to do, yeah? :P

Yes! The VF2012 is now open! And I now show you two of my favorite glittery / sequined dresses!

A word about Indy: As you know, Indy is not exclusive to the Vintage Fair. It was released recently, so you can also find this skin at Inka's mainstore at the Red Wing sim. The dark tone is one that is not currently for sale. When I asked Inka if she would ever consider darker tones, she replied almost immediately with this dark tone. So she was already working on a dark tone and let me test this out. Her dark tone for Indy is a bit darker than my Indy in dark; it's called "Black." I love Dark, and I love Black, but Dark is my tone of choice for Indy!

I should mention that the CIA dress only came with an alpha for the lower body portion. Thus, when I posed, skin on Inferna's torso showed through! Thus, I used an alpha from another long dress - 22679's Anastasia dress - so that I could pose freely. I'm not sure if my object failed to copy fully to my inventory, or if the alpha just wasn't full enough for the dress. Just be sure to check that out before purchasing if you can't easily replace the alpha with a fuller one.

I think that's about it. You've got shopping to do! Each "VF2012" above takes you to the direct booth of that particular designer. But please use this page for a map and SLurls to all the VF stores! Well, all is there, from what I can tell, except GOTZSCHE; I asked for this SLurl from the designer because I didn't see it on the SLurl list. But you've got it up above!

I hope you'll enjoy the Fair!

A demain...

I'm SO excited about the Vintage Fair 2012 (VF2012) that runs from August 4th until August 29th! We're all in for a treat because the list of participating designers is pretty handsome and plenty hefty. There are over 250 of them! Use this page and this page to keep up with the VF2012! The latter page is the home page for the CHIC Management website; thus, you can use it to keep up with updates from CHIC in general.

VF2012 is sponsored by Aura, Belleza, Indyra Originals, oOo Studios, Cheeky Pea, ColdLogic, GizzA, Tromp Loeil, and PurpleMoon Creations, and, of course, those brands are also offering amazing products at the Fair. Over the next few days, I'll be showing you just what you can get at the Fair. I've already started; these eyes are so fabulous. I got the brown pack, but there are also other color packs, such as blue, green and fantasy colors. If the latter three are anything like my brown pack, you'll get 18 sets of eyes. That's three sizes (S/M/L) for each of six variations for the color you choose! 

A demain...
