There’s been a hair sale happening at ETD’s main store, and I had a chance to get in and fill many of my hair needs for some time (at least for normal hair [grin]). Elika Tiramisu does a fantastic job with prim hair, and it’s easy to see why she’s so popular.
Oh, you want proof? Well, when I materialized at Elika’s landing site, the sim’s server was screaming for mercy. The only thing extra I wore that would add to lag was a walk AO, and I was still moving like I was immersed in hot, sludgy taffy. You couldn’t really tell it, due to the amounts of open space in the store; but that hair department was (virtually) packed.
I am, fortunately, used to “wading” through these situations now…. With patience and a bit of flying (and judicious use of a machete) to take in the large tri-tiered displays, I picked my way through and snapped up some real bargains on fatpacks. I ran into friends from Frank’s Place as well. (Indeed, it was Nanceee Sinatra who twigged me to the sale, while I was having my morning coffee at The Blarney Stone in Dublin.) I bumped into Laceminx Lane and her friend Jasper; and Jaidyn Hartsdale was beneath me on the ground one time. I want to say Mistress Howlett was there as well, but I can’t remember now. Of course, emerging from sales like that with your life is an accomplishment, so I’m not complaining about memory lapses.
I managed to snap some images during the visit, but it wasn’t easy since the lag was so beyond compare, and the resulting photos are small. However, for a brief taste of the manner of folk on hand this day:
Tuyuko Kamachi, after some translator work, very kindly consented to having her photo taken. I like the combination of purple miniskirt and the tall boots!
Rumour Mills demonstrates that love of beautiful hair crosses species boundaries (grin). Those wings are very nice; if I get an avatar for one of the fantasy sims sometime, I might send her a note as to where they come from.
And Aun Darkstone shows that it crosses reality boundaries as well! (That’s me to the left, but that’s not any of Elika’s hair; it comes from Sinsation in Hairspray.)
Semi Gray wears the nicest of futuristic “classic” lines, so to speak.
Ohoho, so that’s why I couldn’t TP to the shop yesterday. Hopefully the sale is still going on - it’s about time to get some yummy new hair!
I’m not sure if it’s still going on, but it may be worth a check — if you can get onto the island. ETD Isle is part of the Quad, I think, which means that it’s right next door to Dazzle. Ginny’s Last Call is having a sale (possibly the last sale, if I’ve heard aright), and it’s been a feeding frenzy there for at least two days, with people haunting the nearby regions to get in. And, of course, Residents are haunting the borderlands between regions, trying to squeeze in to a full sim, so ETD has been drowned as well.
I was tag-surfing blogs after I posted the above, and I discovered Mira’s piece on the Dazzle situation. Take a look.
