Kenya Dreaming.

When I was wandering around Aliza Karu's shop, AngelsDemons Creations, I found a wardrobe containing Kenyan inspired items and I had to have me some of it. I purchased the Project for Kenya skirt made by WAP Designs and matching Marie Candy Pumps called Africa made by Les Petites Details or LpD as they are commonly known.

The collection of Kenyan inspired clothing has been a collaboration by the Italian Taste group who are a group of Italian dealers specialized in different business fields as clothing, furniture, poses and animations. The Italian Taste designers support the Harambee Gwassi Kenya project with a complete outfit sold to raise money for the "Harambee Schools" in Kenya, a project followed by Loredana Loring and Lotrec Oh in second life.



The entire outfit is made up of:

- accessories from Solidea folies, a mask, two rings, bracelets and a giraffe with poses

- stool and microfone from Italica Interior Design

- jacket and waistcoat from AD Creations

- skirt with pants from Wap design

- shoes from Les Petits Details

SL really has some wonderful, altruistic people in its population and supporting such a worthy cause is even more reason to purchase some of the fabulous Kenyan inspired pieces for sale. Here is your TP to Aliza Karu's shop to look at what is available in the wardrobe.

Get Ready For Hair Fair 2010 and Bandana Day In September

There's one day in September you'll want to remember - that's Bandana Day on the 19th which occurs during the 16 day Hair Fair kicking off on the 4th. This is the 5th Annual Hair Fair and has been a knockout success in the past. Bandana Day is a special event in the calendar where people are encouraged to whip off their hair and purchase bandana's specifically decorated by all manner of designers. The proceeds benefit Wigs For Kids and will ONLY be sold by the Hair Fair Committee (HFC) so do ensure you only buy your bandana from official HFC vendors.

Ms Sasy Scarborough heads up the committee and certainly needs no introduction from me as you would all be aware of her wonderful blog, Sasy Pants. The official Hair Fair 2010 blog offers a wealth of information for all of us to not only find out what's happening with the fair but why this cause is so important and special.

I along with many other bloggers will be periodically covering the Hair Fair and I guess I would just like to remind everyone that while we are all entitled to have our say, do remember what is at the core of this event and appreciate that a lot of effort from some very kind people has gone into the organization.  Yes it's about getting new, fun hair but it also has a deeper purpose. 

I re-textured the official bandana provided for this day and created by Damien Fate with my own message. As I type, many clever, artistic souls in SL are probably hard at work designing some kind of wonderful for you all to buy. I not being one of those people merely put together this design which is meant to be an eye with a message in the pupil.   In an artsy, fartsy sort of way I'm saying 'never take your eye off other people'.  There's always someone who needs you.
