The Arcade comes and we all go crazy collecting new toys and fun things that we simply cannot live without... But what about the stuff that we end up forgetting, the stuff that gets buried in our hoards that never sees the light of day anymore...
I got a little creative, OK so it's a brand new release and one of the rares to boot, so it is hardly likely to end up in my forgotten box for a while, but I couldn't help myself hehe...
This little Galatea Doll was forgotten when the child got some new toys, she had the car and bear for company but nothing could stop the spiders moving in!
The Galatea Doll parts are gacha releases from Tentacio for this month's Arcade, and they come in various different components... The head - without hair which was a past freebie from MaiOwn! at the last Hair Fair by the way - has a selection of different eye colours and is one of a selection that you can win... The underwear is also one of three different colours - this being gold, but black and silver are also available... The bodies however, are the bits that I am most in love with! This is the Carrusel body and I hate to admit that it is one of the rare bodies - I was lucky enough to be gifted not just this one but the skeleton one from a friend, and no doubt that will come out soon - but all of the bodies are awesome... Some have tattoos, some a basic and there are even some with little nods towards the mermaid cult that has gripped SL for a while now... So no matter which body you win, they are all gorgeous! I accessorised the dolly with a wig and a necklace from Half-Deer but that was it... Nothing else was necessary!
The other toys that were left with her just made the shot perfect though, especially when I draped them in cobwebs from Schadenfreude that I had picked up at the recent Festival of Sin! The Teddy Scare was one of my all time favourite toys for a long time, you can hide in him and jump out to scare people that sit with you hehe... He's still available from Curio Obscura, I believe, but don't quote me on that! Lastly though the toy car, or should that be "toy" car as it's not really a toy! It's a full sized, drivable car from Consignment at the Arcade but this rare rusted Wax On/Wax Off Rat Rod made the perfect toy to be left with the doll...
Feel so sad seeing things like this, perhaps today is an inventory sorting day!?!

The Hair Fair starts tomorrow and my goodness there are so many pretty styles waiting there for you. I went and bought 7, although after I've finished this post that total number may be more like 8, but I will no doubt show you those later...
For now though I've been through all the freebie hairs that I have been able to find on each of the sims... There are four sims in total, named for hair colours...
Red Head First... As we all know, I am a redhead not just in SL but in RL too, and I personally believe that Red Heads have more fun LOL... I know that there will be so many people who disagree but it's my blog and I wanna start with them...
I picked my four favourite FREEBIE styles from the Red Head Sim... First is from [DUE] - a short wavy style perfect for the beach, second is a floppy slightly Emo style from [INK], the next is a little girlie pair of braids from MaiOwn! and lastly a formal and fancy updo from Elikatira...
Noirette next, and here I found five freebies that I had to share with you... Some of these come with huds for multiple different colourings, but as I am a redhead then I chose the read colours - you won't always need to wear them in these colours!
My favourite freebies from this sim included a short bob from Tameless, a somewhat steam-punkish half up-do from Olive, a very low and loose one sided ponytail from Mithral, a long braid complete with hat from EMO-tions and a pretty Exile long and loose style...
Then comes the Brunette Sim. Here I had some freebies that I loved from some big names... Wasabi Pills has always been somewhere I know I can go to for the cute colourful styles, I also loved the two choppy short bobs from Calico and Lamb, but it was here I found a new store that specialises in fantasy hair called Oblivion... That will definitely be one worth checking out in the future!!! Some of the royal styles they had looked brilliant!
Lastly the freebies on the Blonde Sim...I found a few more stores here that I'd never heard of too... This event has definitely opened my eyes for the new hair stores in SL... I'd been stuck with the same few that I'd always gone too... WELL not anymore!! On the Blonde Sim I picked up freebies from Sage - a cool dread locked up-do - a short and colourful retro style from Yuko and something a little "Jackie O" from Murray... I even found some awesome two toned styles from Analog Dog and Little Bones!!!
That's a lot of hair right there and THAT is just the freebies, there are so many more things I have to show you over the next few days but good luck getting into Hair Fair starting from tomorrow... It´s gonna be busy but I promise you it´s worth it!!!
