New Release

You don't realize exactly how long it's been since you last posted until you go to do a blog post and find out things have changed.  Lots of things have been going on for me lately and there doesn't seem to be any slow down in sight so in the meantime, I'll do what I can.

The one out in the store now is called Shirl which may have something to do with the fact that Garbage is coming to town around the end of September and I've got tickets. Yay!   Garbage. You know...the band?  Nevermind.

It's meant to be a short-ish messy style and because there's a lot of smaller prims on this one, the hairbase is included.

The Hair Fair Post Yay!

The creative process is never neat and rarely pretty.  My studio is an explosion of textures, prims, sculpties and pose stands.  My inventory isn't much better.  There were many late nights that carried over into the daylight hours which reached the height of delirium when I stared blankly at the strand of my hair floating in my coffee and wondered at what point I pulled that one out.  Suffice it to say that Maxwell House and I are on a chummy, first name basis.  I also can't help but wonder that if I'm feeling this worn out, I can't imagine how the Hair Fair committee members are feeling.  To their credit, they're always cheery and helpful.

There's five entries for this year's Hair Fair plus the gift.  Two styles are on the wacky side, two are modern and one is a retro.  The gift is something completely different.  Onto the styles....

Gracie is a simple retro style complete with curls galore and bows.  This style only comes in the solid colors - no tip colors.

The two modern styles: Heather has an off-center part and two messy ponies with a bit of added flex.

Clothes: Madison by Indi Designs

Last up...Alien.  I had images of Giger in my head when I did this one.  It was a little more intricate to build with twisting the hair strands over the bones.  I loved doing this one although it almost drove me bats aligning the bones and the hair with it.

Aaaaaand finally...the gifty.  I've called this one Ferocity and it comes in two colors: Natural Tiger and White Tiger.  The gift as well as all the other styles are Mod/Copy and are equipped with resizing script.

Now that it's all done, my poor hubby won't have to stop to peel his music-pumped, sugar-hyped,  caffeinated wife off the ceiling before getting in the shower.  If you'll all excuse me, I'm going to go to bed and set my alarm for August.

Quickie

I released a hair style and forgot to put it on the blog.  Doh!  I've been a little preoccupied with Hair Fair things, the RFL walk and creating gifties for other events.  (Why does everything seem to happen in July?)  Anyway, when the dust cleared I found I had built one too many hairstyles.  The one I put out in the store is called Lana.

Dress: Leanansidhe by Favole

Lipstick - Natural Lips (tinted) by Kosh

Screamin' Prims

I've got a new release out which resulted from playing around with prim torture and I had fun making those prims scream.  The result...a funky hairstyle that I also had a blast doing creative shots with.  I'll post those in the Hairoin Flickr group a little later.  I've got two done and I'm working on two others.  It's called Lucid and is twisted ribbons of hair with a ponytail in the back secured with chain.

Style Notes:
Skin - Lunatic by Coca & Wolf
Dress - Acure by Barerose
Earrings & Necklace - Soul by Mandala
Lip Piercing - Kali by LouLou & Co.
Playlist - "Rock With Me" by Gina Star and "Cybergirl" by Mordacious

Crazy Hair Hunt

I wanted to get this post up last night but ran out of time.  The Crazy Hair Hunt is now on for the next month and there's 67 (I think) stores involved in the hunt so if you find yourself looking for something to do you can join in and grab some wild and crazy hair.

    Below is Pheasant Phlower in the 3 colors that are out for the hunt.

If you want to join other hunters or need a hint you can join the Crazy Hair Hunt group.

And, incidentally, the hunt item was incorrectly set for sale at $1L. Fortunately it was caught early thanks to a couple of messages.  Everyone that paid $1L for the hair has been refunded and the item is now correctly set for sale at $0L.  (stumbles back to the kitchen to find the coffee pot....)

New Release

I'm finally back at it after being quiet for so long.  My RL has finally settled down, sorta, and so has my computer for the time being.  My computer decided it was time to ride the short bus like it was some kind of wild bronco and gave me 2 months worth of problems that would have tried the patience of Mother Theresa.  It got so that I started to cringe every time I got near my computer so rather than send it to decorate the bottom of the ocean in a fit of frustration, I decided the better course of action was to just walk away.  It's still giving me grief every once in awhile but I can live with this as it's better than the alternative which is to do a complete wipe and start over.
With that said, I've now got two new styles out, both are tall ones.
The first one is Philandra - a tower of locks, clocks. claws and curls.
