Second Life Hair Fair (for Ankaret)

Metro lawyer boi hair!It's not just [personal profile] ankaret who has a thing for hair: I found this intro and roundup of a recent Hair Fair in Second Life while mooching around looking for some SL gesture accessories.  There's got to be a "thumbs up" and "crikey" gesture out there somewhere.  Why?  So that I could shoot some scraps of SL footage to cut into the Google Earth tours, of course.  Sierra Alpha Delta, hein?  :)

So there you go, virtual hair.  Surprisingly detailed, fancy, subtle moving-and-shiny hair.  And yes, people obsessive enough to buy (for about $0.50 a pop) a tidy style and a bedhead style and swap 'em around as the day - or night - goes on.  It's entertaining to watch just how elaborate the dress-up doll can become if you've got a groaning shedload of tech to play with. 

Which reminds me, my avatar needs some better sunglasses...

Damn right.

Now, all I need is a Second Earth: Google Earth / Second Life mashup. And it's not just a rumour. And frankly with enough realtime layers, you've got your Singularity right there.
