I don’t know about you, but I’m finding it harder and harder to spend any real time in SL doing the things I love due to grid performance. It’s incredibly frustrating to have to log-in on off hours (like 3:00 a.m.?) just to be able to attach my hair, TP, have a store rez fully and receive purchases >.< Until now it’s never been a huge deal to me - but lately, it just makes me cranky.

I suspect I’ll still be wearing this first one for a few days given that it’s what I logged out wearing…and who knows when SL will let me change it. Not that it matters since I’m fond of it.

Yep, Gillian in blonde hair. I used to wear blonde in SL all the time but since I have very dark hair in RL, I eventually switched to dark here too. However, I wanted to try the new MMS hair textures and blonde just looked better with this hair I thought.
