The Strange Case of Helmet Hair

So this post has been slowly being plotted as Blue Falcon Industries and Kalithium Corperation released teasers for their Futurewave release that was delayed. Because Kaylith was doing the hair I got special sneak peeks because it is hard to hide stuff from each other when you live in the same SL house... But anyways THIS HELMET. Not only does the helmet have a butt-ton of options so does the hair. I being the far less military RPing, actual armor wearing, god forbid more girly...? of us told Kaylith I had dibs on the more toned down setup, where I would focus mainly on her hair and not the awesomeness that is the helmet itself. But I am so proud of this girl it being her first release of a mesh hair and building it to integrate so seamlessly with the helmet. Anyways I know I'm late to the Futurewave parade but so were they!

Fantasy? Magic? Mystery? Warriors? I've been listening to too much Dio and Ensiferum. Actually, nawh, I can never get enough! Excuse me while I turn it up. Heheh.
Anyways I'm totally on a purple kick right now if it totally isn't apparent. Keystone's Bryre Crown had me drooling since it came out. I've finally gotten my hands on it and I completely and utterly LOVE it. Not to mention their recent group gift, Varika'Vys collar, which is absolutely beautiful. Both of these are a high quality unrigged mesh. The Bryre crown comes with 9 gem colors, 10 string colors and 10 bone colors all in a convenient HUD and one script in the crown itself.
For a while I couldn't find a hair I liked to go with the crown, but my best friend and the genius behind this blog pointed me at the hair Wasabi Pills had out for the Fantasy Fair. Dragon, I gotta say, I don't know what I'd do without you! But from there, I found a pretty location in one of my favorite forests in a stream, put on a little warpaint, posed and snapped a photo! <3

Search and Destroy

Feeling on a brighter note, I had a strange attraction to white and greys with just a hint of my favorite color in the entire world-- Chartreuse. I didn't think this would lead me to styling in my regular genres, especially more cyber/scifi. As you can see though, that's exactly where it ended up!
This is very much a more simple styling, but I am hoping you are eyeballing the MechaBone Jaw piece by Unsung. It's a 100% unrigged mesh single object, with 8 customizable faces (for those unsure how to utilize faces for tinting and customization, there is a notecard included to help you out). For those who are using the newest material viewers like me, the mapping on this jaw is phenomenal! The detail the materials add is absolutely gorgeous as you can see in the picture above, but even if you aren't using the advanced lighting module, this jaw looks damn good. So why not grab one for yourself? It comes in Black, White (shown) and Grey.

The Pumpkin Eater

Horrorfest has just under a week left and collectivly they have raised just over half of their goal to send to The Epilepsy Therapy Project. This is a really great cause and to help try and raise them closer to their goal I shall assult your eyes with another awesome look I put together using many items I found at Horrorfest or on their sim wide hunt. You shoudl definaly check out the event if you havn't already and buy some stuff to help contribute to The Epilepsy Therapy Project in style!

I do so love this Jack-O-Lantern corset that Dilly Dolls put out for the event it brings me back to my Kawaii side but lets me add the darker side that has gripped me firmly for the past month or so (I think Kaylith might be rubbing off on me more than I realized). And because MIASNOW inspired me to go wild piecing together this Make-Up combo with all of the options that she put out for Horrorfest I have to zoom in some to show you just how awesome the pieces are!

I had to use quite a few layers to get the effect I was looking for, but they were easy to overlay and they all fit together so well that I couldn't help myself when I played with them. And yes, my close-up semi fails as a close-up, but I couldn't bear to crop off the corset or the fun nail polish I found to be that final finishing touch. Although, If you head over to my Flickr page you can click through to see the pictures original size and then you can see all the awesome details including the eyes, which have a name that got me thinking and thus inspired the name of my post. Anyways enough of my rambles!
