Hairon Blog

Here's a tip...if you feel the ladder wiggle, don't think about it - just grab onto something solid and then carefully GET OFF IT! Thankfully I was sitting on the top step rather than standing on it when one of the side braces decided to buckle otherwise it would have been a lot worse. I estimate it will take my left leg a month or more to heal since it seems to be all internal damage rather than external. The funny thing is...my right knee looks like crap with the large blue, purple, red, green and yellow bruise on it but other than looking bad, it works just fine. The left leg looks fine but doesn't work all that well. It makes you realize all those simple things in life you take forgranted like the ability to go up and downstairs freely, climb into bed or just put on your socks.

Anyway, I'm multitasking again. While I'm in game creating a Halloween freebie I'm also in the process of setting up the Hairoin Blog so this will be the last posting on the Kiss blog. All future postings will be done at

http://hairoinhair.blogspot.com

(The link is also on the left at the top of the page.) I'll get the Subcribe-O-Matic converted over to Hairoin as well.

I'm also in the process of creating a couple of machinima - one I've been dying to make since the idea popped into my head and so far the other one is a half baked idea. We'll let the second one bake awhile longer to see if it actually comes out fully cooked or not.

And on a side note...a thanks to Teagan Blackthorne of Savoir Hair. I try to have a look once a week on the blog to see what's going on. Much to my surprise, Teagan had posted a review of the Sam style with a note that Kiss is in the process of converting to Hairoin. I promise I'll get you some updated info, Teagan. :)

Glamour Expo

Glamour Expo is on right now until October 18th at Vanity Universe. I just had to sift through there...twice...which was really hard on the linden balance. But if I hadn't gone I wouldn't have found some great new designers to visit. Some of my favorites were there like Sn@tch and Earth & Sky but I did find a new one which is LeeZu. Her designs are fantastic. Get a load of this coat!
I'm simply in love with it. She's done a beautiful job with not only the textures but the prim work as well. Of course I just had to visit her store and found a load of other things to spend my lindens on. Her designs are creative, beautiful and well done. (Incidentally, the pants are also by LeeZu but I'm just wearing the base pants - not all the goodies/sculpties that come with it.)


(squeals) I love these shoes!! They're Merle boots by ALB. These were just soooo unique I had to have them as they appeal to my sense of whimsy. These were offered in 4 different colors at expo. I haven't visited the shop yet to see what other goodies are there but it's definitely something I'm going to have to check out.

So there you go. Those are my top two finds at Glamour Expo so if you're bored do a search for either Glamour Expo or Vanity Universe in game and you'll find it. Go have a poke around and I'm sure you'll find something that'll make you squeal. ;)

Hairoin is Finally Here!

I'm blaming this on listening to too much Velvet Acid Christ and reading a plethora of Laurell K. Hamilton. I wanted to get this store done and out a lot sooner but, as always when I'm intent on getting something done, the universe seems to do everything in it's power to hinder me. There was a span of three weeks where my internet provider decided to take my DSL connection and bust it down to the speed of dial up and when a call was put in to report the problem they insisted nothing was wrong. That was the proverbial straw so the hubby switched providers but it took time for the new one to get hooked up.

Okay...now that my whining is out of the way...there's some points I want to go over.
1) There's starting to be too many stores with "Kiss" popping up which creates confusion thus the rebrand
2) There's more natural packs - 2 browns, 2 reds, 2 blondes and a black n white. The other packs are more on the unnatural side but still a little more tame
3) All the hair is copy, mod, no transfer AND contains resizer scripts. I did this because A) I realize some of my customers have building skills and like to tweak while others are construction challenged :) and B) there's S.F.A. I can do about preventing talentless bottom feeders from copying which is what all honest content creators face. I would just hope someone tells me about it if they see it.
4) Hairoin is what I'm more comfortable doing. I really don't play well in the mainstream - I prefer tributaries :P
5) The existing Kiss styles will eventually reside in their own spot within Hairoin but won't be updated to the new textures. I may have moments of insanity (as my hubby likes to point out) but I'm not too keen on what would be the equivalent of driving over myself repeatedly with a tank.
On to the releases...

The style name of this one is Morgana and is the first in the Vampire clan series which is the Gangrel female. The color shown is Legion found in the Demon Pack.


This one is Sin which is shown in Witchwood found in the Wiccan Pack. The inspiration comes from the well known "Wrath" picture which I just love and couldn't resist the urge to create it.

This final one is called Tokyo Doll and was the reason I went to resizer scripts in the first place. After I got done with this one I thought, "If my customers have to try to adjust this one they're going to come looking for me with pitchforks and torches." This was definitely a challenge to get the pieces warped and twisted into the directions I wanted them to go so any of you brave souls that want to tweak this one by hand...take a copy first. The picture on the left is in the color Abyss found in the Dead Pack and the one on the right is Nebula which is found in the Astronomy Pack.

One last thing...if anyone can recommend a good Goth/alternative internet radio station that won't get me kicked off my PG region and land me in Zindra please let me know.
