No Hair for the Hair Designer

HEY! It’s me, Helena. Helena Stringer. I’m relatively new here. This is my 6th post. I’m just going to talk a bit more about what I do here on Free*Style, and what I do in sl. You may not care, so those of you that don’t, just zippity on down to the bottom. For those of you who asked inworld, I’ll explain some things here.

Today I wear no hair in my post. This may shock some of you girls, but when you get back up off the floor I’ll let you know why.

I happen to design hair in sl. That’s what I do, among designing many other things. That’s not why I’m here on Free*Style, to pimp out my wears. I’m here cause I’ve been a fan for a long time, and someone took a chance on my abilities to make a post, make it fun and exciting. Also the fact I’m a cheap ass, and love my deals. Some things don’t change.

But just because I’m here, doesn’t mean I’m going to change my business ethics. I’ve been asked alot recently by Free*Style blog fans in sl(there is a comment box here you know!) why I don’t credit everything I wear. Well that’s because I wear my own items that I have made, along with all my finds. And for the fact that I’m first and foremost a Hair designer, I ALWAYS wear my own hair. I do this for business reason, not that I don’t enjoy other hair. I just find it really bad taste to wear my hair designer tag, and have someone want what I got on, and it not be mine. Plus I’m proud of my designs.

So when I don’t credit something, it’s simply because I made it. You guys are more then free to ask about any of that stuff in the Comments of the posts. I just don’t want you guys thinking I’m turning Free*Style into my own personal shopping channel to my store. This will be the last time I mention any of this. From now on my posts will link back to this one at the bottom, so any new person can find out the reasons why those items are not credited.

I really just don’t want to be bald all the time, you know?

*Spatulas people off the floor*

(Look at that primwork! Crazy!)

I’ve had Alpha and her many alt enjoy my works for so long, I had AlterEgoTrip give me the landmark to Alpha’s store, Alpha Tribe(fitting for all those alts!).

Now this girl, she is what NPIRL(not possible in real life) is all about. The imagination that goes into each piece is beyond a level most designers have achieved.

Each work is an art piece, walkable art.

I had to do a close up cause this just struck me. This was built for a custom instillation at the new sim Poetik. It’s nifty cause you can wear it an pose with all the manikins there.

Both of these have male versions as well, so guys, you can have some fun too!

She has some sets for sale, but the cool thing is for most of them you can just grab the skin for L$1.

They have a futuristic tribal quality, which I feel goes with the store name so well.

Each skin set has it’s own unique style.

There are even a few with Male version included.

So come visit Alpha Tribe to get these wonderful free and dollar items. To get the Avatar in the 3rd pic tp Here. It’s there with all the manikins.

Eyes-House of Ruin-not open right now(the Store)

H out

Ssshhh, spot the green!!

As I’ve mentioned before on the blog, if you’re a hard core RP type, finding “your look” can be terribly hard on a budget. Recently there have been some incredible packs floating round the grid, covering all sorts of looks/avatars. So today it’s the turn of the vampire. Fitting as one of the terribly good looking undead has joined our ranks 😛

Lunas Boutique is a store I’ve blogged a few times, discovered through Fashcon around the New year. Do a search for the LL group, there are some super cool gifts in the archives. Including a pose hud stuffed full of poses, total must have. But these outfits are what I’m stoked about, a gift from Candy Shop (in the Lunas Boutique group archives). They are complete vampire avs, including skins (not shown) shapes, teeth, emote hud and all the clothes shown. So many options and stunning pieces, to say I’m blown away is an understatement! Skins! The skins worn with the red outfit are from the Imagen hunt. You’re looking for 20 teeny shamrocks, and you’ll get 19 skins and some eyes. If anyone needs a hand, drop me a line inworld and I’ll be happy to help. None are hidden in walls or anything like that, lets just say that sometimes the most obvious hiding places are the hardest to find 😛 The skin worn with the black outfit is a gorgeous dollarbie from Domestic V. There’s a huge sale going on also, and loads of freebs on the ground floor (you’ll find the skin shown upstairs).

I had to sneak a wee bit of green in here!! This beauty is a group gift from Fairytails. You’ll need your group tag activated, then snag this for an L. The skin I’m wearing here, and for the rest of the post are part of the Rockberry gift for the most random hunt ever. I love love love them!

I saw a small post about this store on the Freebie Telegraph, and had to go have a nose for myself. Nah! is a new to me store, and all these outfits are free from there, unbelievable! The brown dress also comes with super cute cowboy boots, not sure if you can see them too well. I can’t wait till the store is fully stocked so I can go spend, as at the moment, everything is free. Now I’m off to try and give mini Ash a bath, hard at the best of times, but the little princess is sick, so I anticipate much sadness! Ash Out.

GREEN!

It’s like my favvy sl colour. I really don’t get to wear it in rl, never find the right shade. Plus in here I get to be green. Literally! So Fricka was in the shop buying up a wack of hair, and I was all like oh ya, I hadn’t been to her shop in a bit. So I dragged one of my store models, Ruina Kessel(Also owner of House of Ruin) over to {Frick}. There we found some new goodies. This Green goddess of a skin was down stairs, as well as the lucky chair! And low and behold my letter came up! I’m always super excited when that happens, cause honestly we designers like never get out. We are hermits. We need showers most days, at least 2 dunkings.

Nyla Cheeky of House of Nyla gave me an outfit the other day. It so went with the {Frick} skin, I just had to show you.

This made me go to the store, see if she had any goodies. There is one, for both men and women. I remembered I mentioned Ducks in my first post, so I laughed when I found these duck feet looking for a slurl.

Here are the Lucky Chair Beauties. I only realised at the last pic that I had lost my lashes due to the hat. Oops.
Now I really didn’t want to go too holiday crazy, but this giftpack warranted Free*Style bloggage.
All this is in it, and it’s free! Can’t beat that! Well you can but it could get messy.

I saw these eyes in the Free*Style Flickr group and was like OOOOOOO. MINE! The only thing that sucks is if your hunting on your own. That’s cause it’s not a regular hunt. It’s a lucky letter hunt, so bring peeps to get the items rolling.

Lastly for the love of all things Duh! That’s the store name I swear! Renee is awesome. We have seen shoe kits go out there, and people do nothing with them. They just make them up and slap them out. Well Renee, she actually adds things, and like makes different colours, ooo and here is a new concept, she like places different types of textures on them. OMG! Like I can feel the air going to my head. So ya head on over to Duh! you’ll find something, and spend next to nothing, she gives awesome gifts, has a lucky chair, does hunts. Shoe lovers dream designer. So off with you now, hump her leg a bit!

F*Me Pumps

First up Vinly Cafe has set a new freebie – Gucci Style Leather Boots two pairs in Blueberry & Emerald these shinny textured boots make you feel on top, fierce & ready to stick someone in the eye with your stiletto heel to who ever is trying to take the last pair of skinny jeans on the rack towards the back of the store when you clearly saw it 1st! lol sorry random moment xD any who, these are available for a limited time only so get them while you can.

Second runner up, The Dominion Fashion District always has something for you to snatch up (are Vinyl & Dominion related? lol) they put out these adorable, sexy Manolo Blahnik inspired in two tone pink – slingback heels with a sculpted orchid to give it that soft touch. Great for Spring / Easter or even yet for the beginning of Summer (ugh I cant wait!)


They also released booties – ankle high, black suede and patent leather ankle boots. I think they’ll look good in skinny jeans if you ask me (since i don’t think they look so good on me with a dress, but i tried.) You can get these exact same pair of shoes in RED at the Vinyl Cafe.

These purple boots can ALSO be found at Vinyl on a stand. think they are so cute – aside the fact i love purple, i like the way the shoe tip is kind of round kind of like a rain boot :]
