Ren’s Renderings - Part IV

 OOHMG HAIR!



Ava-Tare



Why do I say OMG? Because most people I’ve met go “nuts” over hair including me! It’s an expression of who we are like the rest of the choices we have that make up the complete Avatar. Hair doesn’t stop there though. It provides representation, can make you feel elegant, graceful or chic and it heightens fashion!

Amacci Trisha

The other reason for the “OMG” is that there are so many different styles of hair that can role play and decide one day to be a long haired beauty, the next a short haired vixen, the next cinderella with a simple knot and a grand tiara, the next wear gorgeous intricate braids or design with flowers and gems then the next, LOL, wear a futuristic grandious sculpture! And through all this we can be dark and mysterious with blacks, sunny and glorious with blondes, stylish and warm with browns or adventurous and fiery with reds!

There are so many different hair makers and ways to wear your hair in SL! Some of the looks I’ve chosen to show in this article are from Amacci, Emo-tions, Edelstore and Ava-Tare.

Amacci Sibylla

Amacci is one of the those few designers, Carina Larson, who has been in SL for over 4 years. She is still one of the Top designers of today. Amacci has expanded from hair to everything that completes an entire avatar including skins, shapes, eyes, poses, makeup and even jewelry! Showing are two of her new designs for this summer and presented at this year’s HairFair, Trisha & Sibylla.

EdelStore started in 2008 but Tanja74, the owner, has been crazy busy in creating hair of all kinds for every AV and has a Hair Mall with over 1,000 hairs to choose from. She also created the dress I’ve worn in the 4 pics demonstrating this wonderful scripted hair, Alisson, that ties in a knot on one side and hangs in kinky waves over the shoulder. Click it and the script has you untying the knot and the side parted hair falling down your back!

She’s the only one of two designers I’ve seen do this with hair and scripting.

EMO-tions has been in SL since 2007. Mirja started with sizzling hair designs and has done the sensationally romantic to the fantastic for roleplay. She does this for both men and women, many are unisex too. She does one to two new hair designs each week which you can see on her personal website and Moolto blogs.









Mirja has since expanded into amazing roleplay outfits that delight and inspire! The hair shown is Ariadne which can be worn as a messy sexy short style or add gorgeous long braids that hang down the front to the waist.

See you next time!

K-CODE Great new Designer with City-type Styling!!

Check out K-CODE, Kara Dresler is a great new designer. She's been in SL for a little over 1 year and she's wonderful with sculpty parts that really work your Viewer2 to the max!

K-CODE's Rock'n Style 4

This includes the oufits Ashley Jacket, Erika and Alice boots!

Just to let you know... you create a an outfit in Viewer2 then add the other parts to wear them all at the same time! Took me a little while to figure it out but is a great feature that works well when you need to wear multiple objects with the same outfit and in the same spot for attaching.

SABRINA

I love this bikini! Duo toned in lime/kelly green, blue/spring green, red violet/blue, light red/dark red, light blue/dark blue and purple/olive for you to choose the colors you feel good in!

Jewelry, made by Crystal Line, matches the square metal details at the halter neck with teardrop opening in front and a T strapped back and a metal square on each hip. The bag made by Zippers is perfect for a day at the beach. The hair is an Annette Funicello do in Bordeaux from Vanity Hair. The bows change to accent any color you choose. Flipflops are a the only way to walk on the beach and these have these terrific anklets in a wonderful neutral color with colorable nails. Belleza Melissa tanned skin provides the sunkissed glow showing how much you love the sun!

You can get just one or the whole fat pack of Sabrina by K-Code "In The Sun" line by Kara Dresler today!
