Three New Styles and New Textures

I've been working on new textures the last few weeks, and here are some of the results! Click on the pictures for a full sized view.

Rosebay is sculpted, and with new textured whispy flexi for beautifully realistic movement. I'm really thrilled with how this turned out!



Sainfoin is also mostly sculpted, and a very unique look. The French braid is somewhat on an angle, giving a beautiful pull to the rest of the hair. The braid comes down and twists into a gorgeous knot that is pinned up with a color change sculpted hair clip.



And finally, more new textures! This time in the Sultry Collection. The picture does no justice to the two new textures in this style, so be sure to pick up a free demo to see them for yourself. It moves so pretty!



Come on over to Calla for these beautiful new styles!

Boy Hair? Are You SERIOUS?!

Yes, boy hair! Two of them! Don't worry ladies, I didn't leave you out. New hair and new lashes for you. But first, for the guys!





Seph has been three and 1/2 years in the making. Yeah, really. I can't tell you how many versions of this hair I've made. One of the first ever requests I received for hair was for Sephiroth of Final Fantasy fame. My husband is a Final Fantasy fan, and we actually own the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie. He's made me watch it just to look at the hair. Yes, Cloud is coming soon. Anyway, I finally am pleased with this one, and here it is!

Now, for the ladies!





The little gems on the lashes are color change! You can color them by script, or by hand to mix things up and use multiple colors. They look very dramatic close up, but from a normal distance, there's just a touch of color that highlights and really makes your eyes look amazing!

Demos are free as always! Come and get 'em! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Calla/145/150/21.

Seven New Hairstyles & 50L$ Deal of the Day!

It's been a rocky week what with having to rollback the sim three times, and I'm finally able to get these blogged! Seven styles are in the New Release section of the NEW Calla build! When you land in the lobby, you should be able to see them with no problem now. (Yes, Sasy, I do listen!)

I've also been invited to participate in the Silver Star Special 50L$ Deal of the Day group! ****SILVER STAR SPECIAL!*** is the name of the group, and you can join by clicking the SEARCH button and then clicking the GROUPS tab and typing in 'silver star'. Then press the big JOIN button and you're in! There is a different 50L$ Deal every day, from some fabulous designers. Be sure to join the group to get the updated list every day!

My first 50L$ deal is one of the new skins, regularly 1000L$:



The deal will change tomorrow, so be sure to grab it today!

Now, on to the new hair.



A beautifully simple, sculpted bun with a braid wrapped around to give it a bit more texture and uniqueness than the traditional bun. This just screams for pretty hair sticks or a dainty flower tucked into the top!



Citron is sexy, long, and flexi. It's actually waist-length and moves beautifully, with whispy bangs that really set off the oh-so-hotness.



Daffodil is one of my faves this round. It's really playful and fun. It makes me want to don something summery and go wander the islands somewhere. It also means "rebirth, new beginnings" which is exactly what this new build has been for me and for Calla, a beautiful rebirth.



Yes, Everlasting is really Princess Leia buns. I couldn't help it. I've had requests for it, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and I just had to finally give in. The Everlasting flower means "Perpetual Remembrance" and what more fitting tribute to one of entertainment's greatest icons and one of the most uniquely unforgettable hairstyles of all time?



Sweet Sultan is also a sculpted, flexi ponytail. It's pulled up and then pinned to the back of the head with two little sculpted bobby pins. It's super casual and elegant at the same time.



Trillium is a mid-length style, and I haven't done any mid's with the big full curls like this, so I thought I'd do one just for fun. I love how it turned out!



Last but not least, White Lupine is also at the top of my list. It has an almost Geisha feel to it, I think. It's very precisely placed, with soft tendrils falling from the nape of the neck. There's just a sensuality about this one that I really love.

You can pick them all up at Calla! Demos are free, of course, and there's lots more coming soon!

Four Beautiful New Styles

The following styles are all new at Calla! Click on the pictures for the full-sized view.


Lady's Slipper - This is by far one of my favorite ever styles. I used quite a bit more sculpted prims than I usually do (I really do hate the bobble-head look) but people have been asking for more of it and I took the plunge. I'm glad I did!



Gooseberry II - Since Gooseberry was retired a few months ago, people have come out of the woodwork asking for it. I finally promised a version two, and here it is! The shape stayed close to the original, there's some differences in the back though, the bangs got a make-over and the original barrette was swapped out for simple little bobby pins.



Queen Anne's Lace - This one is a hairstyle inspired by Final Fantasy XI, and was by special request. It also has sculpted bangs and the ponytail is long and flexi.



Purple Tulip - This is one of the Sultry Collection. I have to give huge thanks to Madison Winthorpe for her help with this. She suggested the pearls on the French Roll, and it turned out gorgeous! I'm so pleased with the look, and it wouldn't have been without her suggestion.

I hope you enjoy these, they're by far some of my favorites I've ever made. You can pick them up at Calla!

Also, the Picks Rewards for this month are ready, so swing on by and touch the kiosk by the front door to claim your reward.

Four New Styles and Calla's Picks Rewards Program

I'm so pleased with these releases! All but one of them are requests by customers and/or my staff.

Baby's Breath was a request from my customer service rep, Always Loveless. She wanted some "country braids," and here they are! They look amazing with a cowboy hat!



Grape-vine is my favorite of these four. It's that wonderfully sexy, steamy, mussed-up-cause-you-just-got-some look. It's also flexi!



Gloxinia II was a request as well, this time from Katoria Stevenson, my store manager and right arm. If you have Gloxinia, you'll know this look. It's what it looks like before it all rezzes completely. I've always thought it would make a cute short style, and by demand, here it is! It's also flexi, just as the original.



This one is also a derivation of Gloxinia. This time, it went long and got a bit different bangs. I've had a surprisingly large number of customers ask for Gloxinia, but longer. Finally, I broke down and did it. It turned out so cute, and has a bit of a rocker feel to it. It has great flexi as well and moves nicely.



As always, you can pick them up at Calla!

Also new to Calla is the Picks Rewards Program! This is a picks rewards unlike any other.



The longer you have Calla listed in your picks, the better the rewards will be! Each month you're enrolled, the rewards get better and better. So for example: Month one, you get a style in one color. Month six, maybe you'd get a full pack. Month 12, a gift certificate so you could pick any pack/style you want. Month 24, maybe a free custom style! Who knows? The sky's the limit and I promise you the rewards will get significantly better over time. You MUST stay enrolled, or you'll have to start over at month 1.

There are details in the store, and the kiosk to sign up is also in the store by the XStreetSL kiosk, right by the front door. The first reward goes out April 1st. (No, really, it's not an April Fool's joke!)
