I actually made this hair (per elka's request) about a week and a half ago, but it got pushed back while Celestial City was being rebuilt. In fact, I filed it away and forgot about it. Stumbled across it on accident today! Oops!
It's very similar to the Lulu Tails+Hat I released last time, only it's hatless for those of you who don't like hats. I went with the straight blunt-cut bangs, again on elka's request. In fact, elka made so many requests, I had to name the hair after her. :)
On a related note: in my ongoing efforts to increase performance in the sim, I've changed the manner in which I display my hair. Until now, I took a snapshot of every style in every color and made an ad for each one. Not only was this a huge chore, it was a LOT of images. I've replaced all the old hair ads with new ones that just show a texture sample. Rather than use a miniature version of the textures, I applied them to some hair shaped prims and photographed that. I think it gives a better idea of how the texture will look on a wig. So hopefully people won't be confused and think the prim shapes are the actual style they're buying. I'm trying to work up demos for all older hairstyles (the newer ones already have them) to try and decrease confusion as well.
The good news is that I've taken 348 textures and turned them into 29! I swear I can feel an improvement, but meh... might just be my imagination. Either way, I think it's a step in the right direction. I am continuing to look for ways to increase performance, without giving up aesthetics.
From now on, the hair ads will look like this:
