Hey, Hey, It's Nearly Bandana Day!

I knew it!  I knew it!  The creators and designers who contributed to Bandana Day in aid of Wigs For Kids have outdone themselves this year.  For those who don't know, it's Bandana Day tomorrow (Sunday 29th July) and that means take off your fabulous hair and whip on a fabulous bandana purchased exclusively from Hair Fair 2013.  At only $50L a bandana, I'm sure you can stretch the budget to purchase a few knowing that every cent will contribute to providing wigs for kids in need.

Here are a few of my favorites created by the talented people behind SL Fashion Passion blog, Zaara, Virtually Dressed blog, LeLutka, OhMai and Mel Vanbeeck.

I wanted to mention my jumper, shirt and leggings that I recently purchased from a store I hadn't heard of before called JP:dsg,  The designer, Jasper Potez has some amazing items and these pieces are no exception.  The jumper is simply unreal.  You know when you purchase something and you aren't sure how it'll look and then when you pop it on you just love it?  This was one of those times.

Anyway sweeties...PLEASE go get some bandana's and show the world how beautiful you are without your hair.

Yay For Bandana Day On 28th July - Hair Fair 2013

Sing it from the rooftops darlings.  Bandana Day is on the 28th of July as part of the upcoming Hair Fair 2013 event.  On this special day, everyone in SL is encouraged to take off their hair and don a bandana decorated by various designers and creators from all over the grid.  These bandana's will be for sale only by the Hair Fair 2013 committee and all proceeds will go to the wonderful charity Wigs For Kids. 

As I've said a million times before, I have no creative talent but wanted to have a go at texturing one with my blog name affixed so came up with this (rather pitiful) attempt.  I put my face(s) on the bandana without hair as a representation that one's own face carries its own beauty and story and that we should not be defined by our hair.

Please, please get behind this important day and purchase one, or as many as you can afford, knowing that you will be contributing to such a special cause.  I know most of the bandana's will be stunning works of art knowing the talented people that will be decorating them.  Just imagine a child who has lost their hair receiving a wig that will bring back some normalcy and a new found confidence into their childhood that you helped provide.  That has to make you feel good?

   

Official Hair Fair 2013 Photo Contest - Be In It To Win It.

Well it's coming up to that wonderful time of year when Hair Fair gets underway.  It will run from the 14th to the 29th of July and who can resist purchasing hair knowing 15% of all hair packs sold will be donated to the amazing cause, 'Wigs For Kids'.

To get into the swing of it, the Hair Fair organizers are running a photo contest from the 7th to the 28th of June.  The theme is 'Movies Inspire Me' and you are encouraged to be as creative as your juices allow.  Now to show off your amazing talents, simply join the 'Official Hair Fair 2013 Photo Contest' Flickr group, read the rules carefully and get snapping.

Winners will be announced just prior to the start of Hair Fair with all winners receiving a special VIP invitation to Hair Fair before it opens its doors to the public.  WOW...how great would that be? In addition, winning photos will also be featured at the Hair Fair.  First, Second and Third Prize winners will receive prizes from all stores listed.  Can you imagine all that hair???  You'll be literally rolling in it.  Seven runners up will also be given early access to Hair Fair 2013, as well as having their photos on display at the event. While this is all wonderful, lets not lose sight of what really underpins this amazing event....donations for 'Wigs For Kids' which allows children the opportunity to feel better about themselves and less alienated from their peers due to various medical issues that see them lose their hair.

I just wanted to style a bright, uplifting outfit with little hair, similar to what you might see from say, a cancer patient who's hair is slowly growing back to show that you don't have to have flowing tresses to look beautiful.

I watched my late mother lose her hair during chemotherapy for ovarian cancer and due to the simple fact that she fought it all the way, I never saw her look more beautiful than during that time she had little or no hair.
