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?

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*

It's the new Sims 2 Store: http://thesims2store.ea.com/index.html

You can purchase the items individually, and some fixed, SecuRom-free versions are being shared at MATY too. I'm not interested in getting SuckRom on my computer after my recent issues, so I really wish they wouldn't include that with it. I'm just paranoid about it now.

I bought the Ikea SP the other day, but I'm probably going to wait for a SimPE update. I'm not dying to have anything on it, like with Kitchen and Bath, but I do like the stuff. I can wait.

Yeah, they've had more than enough of my money already too. When you add it all up, this is a very expensive game, but not more expensive than those online games, where you pay for time spent online.

I'm not letting them force SuckROm on my computer again, though. I fell for it with the Spore Creature Creator trial, and once bitten, twice shy. They've turned me off from ever using this store, unless they change their approach.

I'll have to let you know how the Ikea Stuff goes... it's downloaded and installed and I just need to get in and play with it. :D

I'm being brave and doing the EA store thing. I don't like that it's putting on this thing called "Sims 2 Store" though. *worries* It's doing that right now. Taking a while too so it must be a pretty large file. I'm not sure what's up with that. I thought it would be just like regular d/l that you unzip and put in your folder.

They had some awesome looking longer female hair there though, which sucked me in. I'm such a sucker for longer female sim hair. Here's to hoping I don't regret it, lol!

Yeah, there's something about that whole Sims 2 Store application that creeps me out, but you seem to have no problem with SuckRom, so I hope your luck holds out for you.

I'd love to see some Ikea Stuff spam if you feel like indulging me.

It's funny you say that, since I said something above about how I always prefer short hair on my females and tend to avoid all that long, long cc hair. I like that the store has nice short hair. :P We seem to have very different tastes that way.

Well so far so good with EA Store Game and all of that. *whew* I had a scary moment at first, when I thought it wouldn't load, but then I realized I needed to click on the new Ikea icon. :P

Gotta cook dinner for my spawn, but tonight I'll be back in and do some EA Store/Ikea spam. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in there as well!
