There is something about Anya Ohmai: she is magical. Her sister, Suetabulous, has the same trait and there is something about both of them that can touch the sweet spot in my often bitter SL heart. I don't mean the term in the occult sense but this way:
mag·i·cal (majikÉ™l) - beautiful or delightful in such a way as to seem removed from everyday life. Synonyms: extraordinary, remarkable, exceptional, outstanding, incredible, phenomenal, unbelievable, amazing, astonishing, astounding, stunning, staggering, marvelous, magnificent, wonderful, sensational, breathtaking, miraculous.
That Anya has remarkable talent is obvious. But she has something beyond that. She creates objects that are innocent, sweet, funny and cute in a way that never panders. Her 5 new hairstyles she has introduced at Hair Fair 2014 has taken her work to a whole new level. She has gone a bit cuckoo :)
Birds are a predominant theme for all of !Ohmai's new releases. Each one includes 2 versions: normal (but still freaking adorable) and another with at least one "tweeter companion" and is available in 6 color HUDs. The HUD also allows you to interchange between 14 colors for your "pet". If the hair has a hat or band you can also change the colors of those with the HUD
I don't know what I was thinking sticking myself directly in front of Cory Edo's precious Rivershire Waterwheel cottage (probably how little sleep I've been getting), but I hope you will forgive my momentary lapse of perspective. I've paired the hair with equally precious newer releases from around the grid. If all this sweetness had calories I would break my office chair.
In order to help you in being fully prepared to immerse yourself in hair, the official Hair Fair 2014 blog has an updated post on how to easily navigate the event. Previous posts on the blog include a list of stores by sim, a link to the inworld demo group and information about their charity partner, Wigs for Kids.
Thank you again, Anya, for making such lovely things! They even make me smile :)
