Photos of the short and choppy hair

I acquired that new short and choppy Maxis hair, and since [profile] 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?

They have such good chemistry, it's hard to resist pairing them off. They do it themselves if given half a chance. I don't remember if I had to have them flirt-check out each other first to activate it, since many of those uni characters and dormies seem to be bisexual, but they fell in love on their own. I think the matching hairstyles was another factor that made them seem like a couple to me. They make a great pair.

It is really interesting to see how different people do different things with the characters. Thanks for sharing.

I do, however, have to make a point of saying that there is nothing to prevent my Jaxy and Zoe from getting married and having children, either together (well, not biological kids, but there are at least three other options), or with another partner. I assume that you meant "married to a man", but I just had to mention it.

Well, you know what they say - everyone experiments in college. :P

Yes, and there is a lot of truth in that. I know that I did my share of it, and I was there to witness plenty of other such things. :P

It was very insightful of them to include that detail, really.
