Photos of the short and choppy hair

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?

Ooh, that hair is beautiful and it fits Jaxy well! I really like it on her. Did you manage to avoid SecuROM?

I'm still a little iffy about the EAxis store, I like some of the hair choices, but EAxis has taken enough of my money! :P

The "reset" of memories usually happens to me when a sim moves out from anywhere and then move back in. Kind of like how townies could have "woohoo-ed" your sim a million times, but once they move in they get the "Very First WooHoo" memory.

That hair is very cute! I err... also got the files from MATY, so I can't wait to try them out :D. It really fits Jaxy's style too!

(Hmmm... is she back with Zoey? :S)

I have no idea about the memory thing. Perhaps your game was reset when you re-installed it?

Oh wow, that hair is great! Though I'll probably try to find it off of another site. I've been looking for something just like it for Olivia when she goes to college, actually.

Sims don't have tounges? How come that silly little detail never dawned on me?! I'm usually one to think of those things. :P

Oooh! I love that hair so much! :D

It's funny that you made Jaxy and Zoe lesbians. In my story, they are both married and have kids. You can check their family tree on http://aridia.tribalpages.com/ since I think it's funny to share how people use the same sims as you !

Gorgeous....sigh, i really want those dresses at the sim store. lol

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. ;)

I second pixel's thanks for the pics (especially from all the angles, I like to see if there are any gaps--I HATE hair gaps).

You found this on that MATY thread (in the peasantry)? Did you have to do anything "weird" to get it to work? (I saw there was some conversation about making a new file directory and blah blah, which discouraged me).

Seeing that his hair looks really nice, I'm becoming tempted to get it (as long as I don't have to work to hard to get it to show up).

Any horror stories?

That hair really suits hers. Very very nice!

That's an EA hair? From their stupid store? Hmm. And you got it from MATY? I need to look into this. (Like my downloads folder has tons of space :P)

And yeah, ditto on what dothesmustle said about Jaxy. I wouldn't worry about it. Your hood will not explode. :)

Huh! I haaaaated how that hair looked in Bodyshop, but your shots makes it look good! Very very nice. :D My own favorite hair is that piled on one that comes in plain and with a tiny tiara and fringe. The former is just perfect for ye generic 50s/60s housewife look, I think. The other one I like is the french twist, it's actually outright pretty! And both have a nice sheen, unusual for Maxis.

So where do you get this kind of stuff? The Maxis store? Huh. I've been on there and all I've ever seen for d/l are actual games, like full games that take HOURS to download on my laptop and DAYS to download on my (dial-up) PC! I've never seen just hair or clothes. Is it in the Exchange, like the run-with-scissors package?

I'm currently d/l the IKEA Stuff Pack that I found on there. I had a ZOMG moment when I saw Apartment Life on there, but then I realized it was pre-order. :P

I must give EAxis all of my money. Must. *writes blank check to EAxis*

I really like that hairstyle on Jaxy. I'm not a huge fan of the Princess Leia cinnamon buns. I think it really suits her.

Posting to say that I love Jaxy's new style (the clothes, hair and nose piercing), and also that I love MATY. Shh.

When I saw your link to that Sims 2 Store (I don't drop by the main site very much), I told my SO that 'I bet MATY has already uploaded these', and then I scrolled down your comment section, and yeah.

wow! That's a perfect style for Jaxy! <3
I do mean the whole deal, but the hair in particular is just awesome. :)

Eek! That hair is so fabulous! I LOVE IT. :D :D Suits Jaxy so well too. Feminine yet edgy. :D
