Kik Hair Fair One

  At first I wasn't in love with this hair because the textures seem really weird and blurry but the longer I tried on the demo the more I decided I needed it.  The thing I love most about it is the little star accessories sprinkled throughout it.  Who doesn't want to feel like a celestial being of some sort?

Eyes: Real Eyes, only 5L

  Have a great day and find all the info. you need on Bandanna Day and Hair Fair HERE.

Surprise! Guess What? I Exist!

  No, for real, I do.  I feel the need to point that out because there are some people in the world who would claim that people like me are fake.
  You see, I am bisexual.  I am 31 years old.  This is not a phase.  I have known this almost my entire life.  I've dated men and women.  I am currently married to a man because he's the one who chased me down and held me long enough for me to give in and just agree to love him, haha.
  There are people in the world who have made up there mind that bisexual people pretty much don't exist. They say we are straight but experimenting. Gay but experimenting.  Horny sex addicts.  Seeking attention.  Greedy.  They have lots of excuses made up in their heads to explain away people like me.  This is not just straight people.  Even gay folks like to say this.  Obviously not everyone feels this way but some do.  It sucks.
  Coming out is rough as it is.  You worry what people will do because sometimes the reactions are very harsh.  People have been beaten, abused, tortured, arrested, and even killed for their sexual preference.  Sometimes you decide to come out to someone you feel you can trust first, a very accepting straight friend, or a gay friend.  When you come out and people you think will accept you laugh at you and dismiss you as a phase or whatever it's hard.  It makes it even harder to want to come out to the rest of the public.

  There is an event in SL right now run by SLGBT that is raising money for PFLAG, an organization that seeks to educate the public about LGBT folks and their families, advocate for them, and provide services to promote the health and well being of those who might not be in the best situation.  It's important to not the "B" in LGBT.  They accept bisexuals.  They recognize our existence.  They recognize that it is a genuine sexual preference and not a phase.  I can support this 100%.
  I like this shirt from Pale Empress's gacha because it goes even further than LGBT and includes Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, and asexual.  This is important since many groups don't regularly feel included.  Asexuality is one that I know many feel is almost never included or recognized by groups so seeing it on this shirt makes me very happy.
  Anyway I have written way too much so I will end quickly, haha.  You can find the SLGBT website HERE and the Seraphim article showing all the gacha items available HERE.  50% of all gacha proceeds will be donated to PFLAG.  Check it out!
WORN:
Shirt: Pale Empress, gacha item at SLGBT Spread the Love gacha event
Hat: Capacious, gacha item at SLGBT Spread the Love gacha event

  Please note a few things here.  First, I might be getting a few things wrong.  I am feeling...weird at the moment and my mind is sort of messy.  I will fix any mistakes if I find them.  Second, if any of the language or terms I have used offend you let me know!  What might not be offensive to me and people I know may very well be offensive to someone else.  If that's the case I apologize.  Third, my experience as a bisexual woman does not reflect that of everyone in my situation.  We all have different lives and I don't claim to speak for everyone.  Finally, my experience is not meant to diminish in any way the experiences of anyone else of an sexual preference.  This is just my feelings about things that go in the world in regards to prejudice against bisexuals.
  With that, I am done babbling.  Have a great day!

A U-Neek Creature For Charity

The U-Neek has placed an amazing charity avatar out for the Alternative Fair (several, actually!) and the event is almost over! Go now! Like...NOW!The package includes skin, eyes, and hornswagle hair. Hornswaggle = possibly best word ever.
Worn:
Everything on me is from the U-Neek @ Alt Fair. FYI- the package is only 200L (!!!) and 50% of the price goes to the amazing charity Nothing But Nets.

Show Me the Free and Cheap?

The lovely items from Show Me On the Doll for the alternative fair make me absolutely swoon. The total look makes me wonder what kind of girl is wearing this...Is she a slightly insane, tough, stubborn and futuristic princess of destruction, bent on getting her way no matter what?Or is she more of the artistic wallflower, patiently waiting for the party to end, tears running slowly down her cheeks. Knowing she will never be part of the norm makes her sad but she secretly relishes the thought and thrives on the living controversy that she is.Or maybe it's all of the above and more? All I know for certain is the creator, Putrid Gloom, is an amazingly generous woman, giving the entire outfit for free with nothing but a simple request for a donation in any amount. Even the stunning skin is only 100L with 100% of the proceeds going to Nothing But Nets. Yes, she may be dark and gloomy, but the heart inside burns brightly with the fire of generosity and passion.

Enter SandGirl : Alt Fair Preview!

Locked in a box, she waited.One of my favorite stories of all time is the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. When I saw the helmet from NebuchadNezzar at the Alternative Fair it instantly brought to mind the helm worn by the main character in the graphic novels. The helmet has a very eerie sort of glow that makes it difficult to distinguish the finer details of one's face and lends a mysterious air to the whole look. If you want to be even more mysterious there is an option to tint the glass portion of the mask to a higher level of opacity, even to complete black. The helmet also includes shoulder armor which I am not wearing in order to show off the awesome DV8 dress.This outfit from DV8 actually comes in several parts for mixing and matching. I chose the sort of sweet latex ballerina girl combination as an homage to the almost carnival or circus feel to many portions of the Sandman series. The ensemble comes complete with shoes, socks, and several options for tops. It's sweet without being overly saccharin and tough without feeling bulky or grungy. A perfect look for the woman who can make your dreams come true...The items from this post are available at the Alternative Fair from April 22nd-May 2nd. Each vendor will have *at least* one item out with 50%-100% of the proceeds going to the charity Nothing But Nets. The charity is amazing and you can find out more information on it HERE. There are also numerous donation kiosks out for you to contribute any amount. The fair is NOT open until 12PM SLT on April 22nd but I hope this post will get you excited about the event!
