hiccups
For a number of reasons, some personal (SL related but I'm not telling) and others private (RL related, and the same), I do not suspect that I'll be getting any hair out in the next few days; meaning Oscar and Angelus will probably be released early next week instead.

Discord Designs' 40th hairstyle...
OK folks... here we have it... news of another upcoming release.
Short... male... curly... Oscar!
Not sure whether this or Angelus will be the 40th, as I've been looing at the first Angelus tint run and noticed an alarming offset with teh back of teh head that I sure wasn't there when I made it... as a result I'll have to reposition the prototype and reclone the whole shebang... which is both tedious and disheartening.
That said Oscar's been tinted to a degree already so it may leap up to be release 39.
Here's the final ad-board!
Until next time,
Kalli
P.S. And just to add... I'm loving Windlight...

Trying something new... kinda
Thought it was about time I did something utterly different and leave my multiflexis on the shelf for a little while.
Basically they're fun to have and allow for some funky stylings in no time flat, but truth be told, they only work when long... which by default means they look good on the ladies only... So, from out of nowhere I started work on something untoward, and never tried by me before... OK, I tried something like it once, and called it Joss, but while I was happy with it at the time, I look at it now and think it's formless and rather naff...
What's more, after the purge yesterday I'm now lacking mens' hair... so... This is Oscar... a curly mens' style that's about half done right now...
Look out for Oscar come the end of the week, all going well...
Until next time,
Kalli

(Second) Life's little frustrations - #2073a...
"No matter how much you fight it... or how you try to avoid it, long men's hair always looks good on the ladies... often better."
Kicking myself as I am, I've decided that it's in my best interests to move and rebrand Aidan, and the new men's open do (Angelus, which I finished last night) as Unisex, and as such have redrawn the ad boards. When back inworld I'll upload the new images I'm going to share here...
*headdesk*
So... despite the fact that I've only ever set out to make one Unisex do (Jude) the shop now, or soon will, contain six - Aya, Axe, Jude, Siren, Aidan and soon Angelus when it's tinted and cloned - effectively enough for their own platform. What with the new extensions, this leaves the men's section looking a little sparce for now, but I'll just have to do something about that later.
On a totally unrelated noted, Alice has been working hard with her trolls creating prim bikinis of all things! This is no longer simply just for an advert... she's looking at offering a complete avatar with clothes (both wearables and prim) green skin and shapes... I'll organise some hair for them... looking at doing an urban tribal threepack that'd fit nicely... and of course the demon eyes are already instore.
What began as a rebranding exercise is taking on a whole momentum... I would say "We've created a monster"... but that was the idea, so it's all a little moot. Pics will follow when she's happy with everything!

Oh no she didn't...!
Oh yes she did... tinted and cloned Evie on Thursday, and the remaining three Friday... which nearly killed me.
As a result, Evangeline, Boo, Yumi and Sid now live and instore... which has been reshuffled to allow for a little more space... I added a fifth platform and, thanks to the miracle of trying desperately not to overcrowd, have already filled it! Stop by to see!
Wht's more, the long open mens is in development with animatic testing taking place right now. I suspect its set for a Tuesday release... details to follow...

Something Yumi this way comes...
Strictly speaking, there's a lot of creating underway at the moment, and no fewer than four outstanding adboards in-store now...
As of tinight, I swear I'll get off my butt and get my clone on, working with Evangeline to get it set for Saturday when doubtlessly it'll be needed at the club. Sid, and Boo will follow, and Boo has already been subject to some interest from the vendor instore... which is good to see.
Naturally today has not been entirely without forward motion - I've added another to the long line of pendings, in the form of a HUGE anime-driven pair of piggies that firmly place Chimera in the middle of the range. Boo is 25cm, Chimera is around 70cm but this one, titled Yumi is over a metre and a half. and the movement on it is awesome, and includes wind effects for the first time for a -dD- hair. Might look like a ripoff, but I assure you, there's new works all the time!
Here are the three finalised adboards...
Hope you like...
Until Next time, when with any luck there'll be words of a release...

In under the wire...
Unusual for me to add a double edit in one day... but...
The grid is down in 6 minutes for six hours, thus killing any activity on my part until tomorrow morning (out tonight!) but no matter... I've had a GOOD morning on the new system, which is infinitelyquicker to build on... and have dented the list once more with the creation of a new feminine pigtails do, tentatively called "Boo"...
Hope you like... a little retexturing called for on the crown, but it's practically there already... Just need to tint and clone it, Sid and Evie now... going to be a busy week!

New Year's Resolution...
1680x1050
Well... new year.... new computer and bloody hell... what have I been missing? My 6.5 year old box has been retired as of now, I'm running the windlight firstlook client and getting 50fps on HELP ISLAND... so I'm astounded...
This also mens, for the first time, I can see how the hair really moves... and truth be told some of it isn't quite how I expected! Still... nil desperandum... will keep working and keep tweaking as I go...
Speaking of which, the decision that the long open men's would be next fell by the wayside... and as such, I've constructed something not even on the list... *ducks*
Yes... I know I said I wouldn't, but if you remember Kate from back in August..? Well the 20s club approached me again, and I was never happy with Kate, so I've reworked it and branded it Evangeline... listed as coming soon... and it will be; but I suspect it'll go online first in Sterling Grove, where the club is located. Either way, piccy!
Hair this time modelled by Wisper, who also works at said club...
On another note, I have stuck to the script somewhat and created one of the guys styles off the list... The short asymmetric one in fact... It's based on teh James base, but a lot more spikey and actually rather fun. Like some of teh other styles in shop, namely George, Dexter and the ponys, it comes up ratehr dark as there are no obvious highlights. Bringing you a proto shot here; much as I did for Tori and Spike, as I'm yet to get the graphics software on my new machine to do the job properly..
Somewhat different eh? Color pictured is Pepper, for reference. Told you it came out dark!
Still, until next time,

A subtle clarification, and news of further developments.
The last post is a little confusing I now see, reading back over it. It implies that both Aidan and Li are already out... well... Aidan is, (as of late last night) but Li is yet to go... I suspect, if I pull my finger out it could be launched today... but hey... we'll see!
Never mind!
Further news: a troll in a bikini has been spotted shamboling around Synchronicity Island. If you see him, do not approach as he could well be dangerous... or it could simply be Alice working on a couple of freaky avatar shapes to go with the Demon eyes, which are set for a relaunch shortly!
I've whipped up another 12 colors, stretching the line to 27 colors total. There should be a freaky color available for you, should you be so inclined! The Demon shapes will go on sale too, and come with a couple of optional prim horn combinations.
Hair-wise, once I get this little lot off my back (that's an expression, not a statement! Honestly!), it's on with the schedule... Next up I suspect will be the long open men's, as we have nothing like it at the moment in store... but I could be sidetracked once more...

These ones are superlucky!
OK... taken my time to update this, but I've been noticably busy in-store. We've had something of a shakeup and more "coming soon" vendors have been added. What's more, the eye hut has taken a hammering and both cat and anime eyes are now available.
Both retailing for 15L a colorway or 75L for a palette of 9... there are three cat and two anime palettes to choose from - so knock yourselves out!
Like the shapes in the Anime ad? Well... they were created by Alice Hoyer - the poor schlubb called in to model for me in the early days, who is now a resident in the shop, assisting with sales when and where she can. If you've ever seen Alice in person you'll know that she plays the sliders expertly; and rattled off these two shapes, named Ai and Yu (girl and boy) for me in no time flat. She's also agreed for them to go up for sale... so we now have shapes again! No skins though... just shapes...
The shapes are 75L each - and they're copy mod, as all self respecting shapes should be. I've seen people charge 800L for a mod shape, so once again, in true -dD- tradition, you're onto a bargain here. Just FYI, the skins pictured are, on Yu, Gabriel in Early Tan by Lost Thereian; and on Ai, AYSK NoSun (Light makeup) by Ayiki Takakura - which also happens to be the one I generally wear now!
Also in the offing are two new men's hairs... Aidan and Li. Aidan sticks rigidly to the plan - a long male ponytail as advertised before the new year; but Li happened by accident when someone walked into the shop and said he was after a chinese style pony, all set at the back of the head. I had Wisper stall him and ran across the island and whipped one up in what could have been no more than 15 minutes... either way, I was quick about it... Named after the first character named in Crouching Tiger - Li Mubai
Anywho... vendor shots for the pair of them...
More stuff to follow as more stuff is made!
Until Next time,
Kalli

The eyes have it again...
Well... back earlier than expected this year.. but no bad thing. I've had the opportunity to reassess the eyes - particularly the cat eyes that, while popular, have been lacking a few colors. Well now I've upped the ante, raising the bar from 15 to 27 colors; and they're nice ones too, unlike the first cat releases that were a little abrupt.
They're currently available in the crate only - 27 eyes for 199L... but I will be going live with the individual and fatpack purchases, much as I have with the human eyes, in the next day or so.
Furthermore, a set of 18 anime eyes will get their launch as soon as I can figure out a way of geting a reasonable looking Anime avatar to model them without shelling out 2500L at Boingo to do so... not that i'd complain... it's just at 15L a pop, that's close to 180 sales to break even... not including the upload costs.
Still... more news and pictures when they comes to anything.
Oh yes... before I forget... there is now a small display of 9 hairstyles in Sterling Grove, set in the barbershop over the Marzipan tearooms. Here's hoping it bucks the trend and actually generates me some coin! Have a looksee if you wish... the two owners are lovely!
Until next time,
