Phase 2 complete-Ultimate Hair Meltdown!

September Week 5-Phase 2 Complete . . .

That Demon from outerspace brings you humans and critters alike more hair, so much hair you are going to cry!

What is new to the 2009 Colour Launch?

Womens:

*NEW* Hoodoo


This hair was a request by Isabeau Reinard, to go with an Witch Doctors outfit, also being released today, by Reasonable Desires. It is not the outfit in my ad. Anyways she came to me wanting something sort of witch doctory, and I sort of got this New Orleans highclass lady in my head, who weaves "Majik' you could not believe. Bones are a special part of their process, and this dear Hoodoo lady chooses birds as her medium.

*NEW-ish* Sacrifice


This was part of a hair released for hairfair 2008. The original, Yearly Sacrifice, was a limited edition hair, with a whole sacrificial headpiece. I've gotten many requests for this hair, over the year, and when new texture wer starting to roll in for this september, I was getting a few people asking if they could grab this hair in them. So I poled *most* of the buyers of the original, and they were not only willing, but wanting it in new colours aswell. To keep the other original, I did some fixes, changed how the texture sat on the hair(the old version had a more tribal feel) and knocked off the headpiece. I also gave it the shorter name.

Unisex:

*NEW* Sprout


Finally released after a teaser at Hairfair 2009 for Charity(there was a mini pack for L$1 and all proceeds went to charity), and a ffew requests, this hair is finally out. It's one I made just for me for the hey of it. It is odd for sure, I went to a party dressed up as alfalfa in it(giggle). Fully Sculpted, this will get you a few looks for sure. As a sort off incentive to be odd, I set the "Stringer" pack to L$1, and invite you all to take some picks, trow them up on my flickr group, and have a chance to win a Hair Voucher(basically you get to pick any one colour pack of any hair you want). Here is the Flickr link: http://www.flickr.com/groups/stringerfollower/

*NEW* Ruina V2


You can never have enough of Ruina, weither it be her eyes, her horns or hair inspired by her vision. When we hashed out the original idea for her hair, she drew me a picture, and I went with it, well Ruina #2 was sort of my take on it, and I figured leather is always a good thing, so these ties are all nicely worn in. As we really haven't taken the hair off till we loaded it in that vendor for you.

And yes guys, it is unisex, don't let the name throw you off.

*NEW* Tonic


This hair was a beta for Allegory actually. I felt that hair needed more "POW" and so I changed it up. I've had Tonic in my inventory, randomly giving out onesies every once in a while. As I was sorting hair, I looked at it, adn tweeked it, and said hey, no reason why this can't go out. It's the more mild, realistic version of Allegory. Shorter and more "Rounded".

*NEW-ish* Insanity


This hair wasn't out for very long the first time around. I released it, then moved to the sim, and found out I wasn't happy with the texture stretching. So I took it off the wall. It was up for redo, but I just never got to it. So when it came time for new textures, I could not resist.

Mens:

So 14 hairs, for you to browse thru. As always, 3 colour packs of the new release hairs are set to 75% off. In the celebration of my new colours, all hairs above have this deal! I also did one other crazy thing! You want to just see what some of my new textures are like, but already have the Wearable texture testers?, Well I set all the "Stringer" Packs to L$25! They are each unique, as each is made up of 8 of my fav textures for that specific hair. So try something out! These deals will only last for the next 3 days.

I also finally got some of my new eyes out! No pics for you, but you can walk on down to the 2nd floor and check them out. I have once of each set to 1/2 off. Some as low as L$5.

"Futuristic Series" Digital Era Eyes-6
"Futuristic Series" Plasmatic Eyes-12
"Futuristic Series" Gazer Eyes-16
"Painted Series" Within Eyes-6
"Painted Series" Nymph Eyes-10
"Creature Series" Digi Eyes-12

The Pumpkin Prints hunt Starts tomorrow. I made a horn set, which is called "Don't Peck on me!" Horns. You'l see why when you wear them! hehe. Also a special eye in the same little pumpkin. Want some info? o to my hunt wall, and click on the poster.

Okay it is time for me to get back up to my space ship filled with Ozimal Bunnies. They are needy little bunnahs. Phase 3 of new hair textures should be coming shortly, tho I think next week will be for all you critters, new demon sets, horns, Bunnah parts, maybe some other random things.

Enjoy!

Something Smells Fishy at The

Hey there!

I've enjoyed fishing for a long time now, my sister bought me a rod, in 2008 as a gift for surviving my first hairfair. We would go out and get silly fish and have them all over on ourself, it was great fun!

I was asked to make some fish for the Magic of Oz sim, and man did I have fun. Well a little while later I had lost to the sl gods all my fish, all my own customs I made, unreleased stuff I had for the sim opening, the whole bit. I was a bit discouraged. And stepped back from fishing.

Well I really really wanted fishing n the im.

Here are the plans, there will be 3 spots:

The Docks-Near Sim Landing Point

This will be where all custom fish will be caught. You'll find Fish made by Cherelle Capra and Helena Stringer here, as well as any other vendors that wish to create fishies for the sim. We have not to this date made any fishies for here, but are working on it.

The Pond-Up on the Mountain

This will be a spot mostly for The Stringer Mausoleum Products, as well as any other crazies that choose to set some customs out here. No custom Fish, but rotating actual product. There will be hair made specifically for this area, there will also be offered for a limited time, evey hair released, in a special "Seas" colour pack. After they are out of the server, they will be gone! so the only way to get the seas colours is to fish them out! I have Unisex, Mens and Womens hair allin there currently. I have eyes, wearables, female skins, and other random things in the works. These items are not tradable, as the hairs are no trans, and well most of my products are. There will be blueprinted items in the future, which I will make tradable(the parts and blueprint, not the end item). These store products are not going to e as easy to catch as the regular fish, there is this "Chance" thingy they have the servers set at. me and a friend did manage to get a few hairs within the test time, so it's not impossible. I do have some of the hairs set to comon, so even players fishing without bait can get some.

Now do you want to see the colours you can fish up? there are wearable testers near the pond, by the servers.

The Secluded Inlet-Behind C&D Designs, sort of

This spot does have special plans, we just don't know them all yet! So stay tuned!

So there we have it, I'm looking out for you! Now my last little bit of . . . whatever, do you guys want fishing checklists for the different spots?

I'll be finding seating as soon as possible, just got to do something that will go with my cemetery. For now you bitches have to stand! hahahahahah

Hope to see you there!

New 2009 Hair Texture Launch!

Thats right, they are here!

I got 10 style ready for you. New ad style too!

2 are new, Ruina V1 which is a Unisex Style, even tho it's got a chic name, and Pincushion, a womens style, which you all have been bugging me about since HairFair. Both have 3 packs priced 75% off, as I always do for new Releases, this weekend only. The mini hunt wont be happening this time around, too many other hunts, too much lag on my sim. What I will do is put some limited edition packs up on XStreet in the next few days. These will be limited in quantity, as always.

You want to see all the new packs?

There they all are, so far, hehe.

Here are the hairs, in their new lovely ad styles.

New Unisex Style


Made from a Sketch done by my Friend Ruina. She wanted hair that was a mohawk, but without all the glue and pulled back with whispy bangs. I think it can go well with warrior dudes too.

New Womens Style


This one I did a bit ago, and people have been wanting it like mad. It's my first of a series. This series will be hairs inspired by everyday object in my house. This one being my pincusion by my sewing machine.

Newish Womens Style


This hair was a limited release, made to go with Blue Blood's Bandit outfits. I have now brought it out, and it's in all normal colours.

Newish Unisex Style


My Swangsong hair is finally home. You might have missed the special colours, and the special attachments, but you got these lovely new colours to play with.

Older hairs redone in the new textures:













I have 3 packs of each of these on for 75% off too, to celebrate the new colours. Alse, from now on, all MEGApacks come with a Gift Voucher, which will get you any ONE colour pack in any ONE stlye of your choice. It's sort of like my gift to you for getting a MEGApack. Customer Appreciation is where it is at!

Do you want to test out some of the new colours? do you want to see them on a totally wearable hair? Well grab a tester pack. It's sort of like a tester and cheapie combined.





All the new colours are on the bottom floor of the store. Tp'ers are down, I got to rescript them, so just come on down the stairs. I'll be having more of the older hairs pop out now till the end of the month, and will let you guys know when more are out. Once I get enough out to fill the first floor, I'll switch the old ones out. Till then you still can get them at reduced prices. Only the bottom floor is not on sale.

Onyx Sciavo

Contact me with your choice.

This weeks Hippogroup members to win any one colour pack of one of the new Releases are:
