Photos of the short and choppy hair

[strangetomato]

I acquired that new short and choppy Maxis hair, and since pixel_and_bean  requested that I share some better photos of the style, I did a little photoshoot with Jaxy.

(I'd like to suggest DYtD as the background music here. Check them out - they're a great band, and I use them as one of my sources of inspiration for Jaxy and Llama Dance Party.)

Who better to model this style than Jaxy Rai, who I would consider the poster girl for such a style. Not to say that a straight girl wouldn't wear her hair like this, but it seems more typical of a lesbian or maybe a hairstylist. Or perhaps a girl who has a hairstylist for a girlfriend. It's also a very suitable style for a rocker like Jax, don't you think?

Now, for some more descriptive shots...










(Oops! You can see my workspace back there. That's like letting the boom mic fall into the shot during a film shoot. :P)








Yeah, I like it. I like it a lot.

I gave her a nose piercing, and it seems to suit her. I'd imagine she might have a tongue stud too, if only sims had tongues. *snicker* But they don't.






Oh, and the shirt is a tank by fanseelamb and the pants are by migamoo.


Now, as a bonus question...




Jaxy and Zoe were getting a little cozy, as they often do (triple bolters, don't you know), and this happened:




That's a memory for "kissed Jasmine for the first time", which left me a little confused. That was not the first time they kissed. Not by a long shot.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? What could be causing it, I wonder?

That hair is so very cool. Wow. So much nicer that Maxis' previous attempts at spiky, tousled hair. I would even pay a dollar for it. But fortunately, I won't have to. >:)

It looks especially great on Jaxy, there. Somehow the combination of the hair and the severe makeup makes her look really tough, and yet vulnerable at the same time.

The first picture of her with Zoe makes me snerk. What're you doing with your hand, Jaxy? Zoe's hand on top of it seems like token resistance, but her face says yes, yes, yes. ;)

P.S. Thanks so much for the pix!

I meant to say so below... you're very welcome.

I know. It's worth a dollar, no problem, and I'd definitely give it to them if they took away the threat of SuckRom. Funny thing, that. It's not serving the purpose they intended it to, is it?

I like this much better than their other attempts, like that choppy cropped uni mesh, or the one with the gelled spikes. Those never really did it for me. I've used them, but not that much.

Tough yet vulnerable is exactly what I was going for. ^_^ I think it's a good look for her, and I'm going to use it for her in her adult life.

I noticed that too. :D It really looks like she's slipping her hand under her skirt there, doesn't it? Well, what does Zoe expect with such a short dress on? Jaxy can't resist.

I suspect that's one reason why Zoe wears her skirts short. ;)

That choppy uni mesh is horrid. Though I've used it on occasion, it gives me fits when I do. And the gelled spikes are only good for humor value. :p

I might be paranoid, but I have a feeling that the real purpose of Securom is not to prevent piracy, but something more insidious and sneaky. I'm just not sure what story, if any, to believe.

Yeah, Zoe and Jaxy like the easy access, and why not? ;)

I think I used that choppy one only once, on Brandi Broke, but then switch to HP's Kara hair (the one that I now use on Jayne Doe). I really do tend to favour short hairstyles on my female sims, so I'm always looking for nice cc styles to use. I like some longer stuff here and there, for certain characters, but those ultra long and girly hairs usually don't appeal to me, especially if they happen to come with bows and things. *shudders*

Yeah, I feel really paranoid, but there might be something to that. I read somewhere that a newer version includes something that only allows you to install your game three times and then you have to buy a new copy. I really hope that not true.
