RL has thrown a variety of things in my path which have been keeping me away from SL and this blog, but I did find time to get Sam I Am a new hat. ($100L at the KittyCats mainstore.)

Exiled BreadHeads

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you've probably noticed that I've only been wearing Exile hair since my return to SL. That's because I think their hair is, hands down, the best on the grid.

The mesh hairstyles are colored and streaked through the use of a HUD - allowing for more customization than ever before. These styles are marked “MESH+HUD” on the vendor, with new black bottles. (Every time I get one of these, I spend way too much time playing with all of the color options.) The sculpted styles (like Nina, the one I'm wearing here) don't have streaks and each color is a separate item instead of a HUD, but they're still gorgeous and fun to play with.

Prices are as follows:

MESH HAIR:
"All or Nothing" Fatpack - $1250L
5pk of colors - $250
8pk of Fusion colors - $280L

SCULPTED HAIR:
"All or Nothing" Fatpack - $1000L
5pk of colors - $250

As I mentioned in my previous post, Exile currently has a mesh hairstyle in this month's Collabor88, where individual color packs are $88L and the fatpack is $888L. Please note that, while the sculpted hair can be edited, the mesh hair can't, so I recommend trying on the demos before making any purchases. (The mesh demos come with HUD demos for colors. Color demos for the sculpted hair are in the SE corner of the store. Your mini-map can help you locate them.)

I hope to do a post showcasing a few different Exile hairstyles at some point in the future, but that will have to wait until I get through my backlog of posts about all of the Lapointe & Bastchild gifts from my friend Orlando. Maybe I can even talk one of my friends into modeling some of their men's styles for my camera.



Speaking of a different kind of hair (the type that likes to cling to your clothing), this KittyCats display for their BreadHead "hats" for their cats is quite possibly the best retail display I've ever seen in an SL store. It's definitely the most amusing. Each slice of bread is $80L and comes in 4 different types (each sold separately).

BreadHead

Because sometimes you just have to put bread on your cat.



Not only does Sam make me laugh by allowing me to do things my RL cats would flay me alive for, but she says random things like...

Sam I Am looks up at you wondering if you notice how cute she is.

Sam I Am: Hey, wanna take me out shopping?

Sam I Am: Where you been? I missed you!!

Sam I Am wonders if you realize how much she loves you!

Sam I Am: Hellooo, I am down here!

Sam I Am: Ezerbet, you make me happier than catnip!

Sam I Am: Hey Ezerbet, you look great from down here!

That last one was said after I'd put bread on her face. I should probably feel bad, but I don't regret it one bit.

I Am Sam I Am

And so it begins - the posts about all of the nifty Lapointe & Bastchild clothing Orlando recently gifted me with. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't a single item I tried on that I didn't like. I've put the photos together in triptychs and polyptychs, roughly grouped by style, but I might spotlight a few particular outfits here and there in the future. These photos were actually taken at the end of the night, after I'd tried on all of my gifts and picked up the September group gift that was still out in front of L&B's store as of today. (There's a t-shirt version for the men.)

I also got Sam I Am the cat from Orlando. She's adorable, with a lot of interactive options and random behaviors, including one which tells you that you can't play with her because she's napping - which is what happened when I tried to cuddle her for the photos above. (So, basically, just like almost any RL cat.)
