Hair Fair 2009 Releases

I am so excited to get to participate in this year's Hair Fair! It's been a 2 year dream of mine, so the excitement level at SPIRIT is extremely high. So high that, once I got started making hairstyles for this event, I ended up going overboard and making WAAAY more than the maximum of 5 allowed. So look for additional styles to be released very, very soon.

In the meantime, the following are the five styles currently available at the SPIRIT booth at the Hair Fair (look in the NW sim of the fair for the red and yellow striped, double tiered cake). Also available at the SPIRIT booth are two dollarbies. These hairstyles will only be available at the Hair Fair until July 5th, when they will then become available at the SPIRIT store. The dollarbies will go on sale at regular prices after July 5th.

Birds of Paradise Collection: Feathered Ponytail (available in 4 colors):

Birds of Paradise Collection: Caged (features an animated sculpted bird - available in 16 shades sold in 4-packs):

Birds of Paradise Collection: Grass Nest Ponytail (nonflexi except for the flexi hair standing straight up behind the diamond encrusted, sculpted bird - available in 16 shades sold in 4-packs):

SPIRIT Dazzlers Team Auditions

Thank you for your interest in the SPIRIT Dazzlers Professional Cheer and Dance Team. The SPIRIT Dazzlers is a team of cheerleaders, dancers, and models who are paid to represent SPIRIT with class, grace, and style in fashion shows, promotional events, paid performances, magazine ads, videos, and commercials. Ladies and gentlemen who are chosen to represent SPIRIT on the SPIRIT Dazzlers team will be paid for their participation at these events and modeling jobs, will have exclusive opportunities to build their modeling portfolios as few others can, and will receive many custom and prereleased SPIRIT designs while an active member on the team.

We will have 3 sections to the audition process...application reviews, auditions by invitation only, and individual interviews.

1. Please create a folder named Dazzlers-(your name). In this folder please put the application and include 3 pics of yourself...1 headshot, 1 full bodyshot, and 1 pic that will show us your personality. Please do not include nude shots.

2. The second portion to the auditions will be an invitation-only tryout, which will consist of a review of your knowledge of terms and moves. You will be given animations and gestures and will be expected to successfully perform them on cue.

3. The third portion will be an invitation-only individual interview where you will get the opportunity to demonstrate your personality in a conversational setting.


If you are chosen to become a member of the SPIRIT Dazzlers team, please be sure that the shape you send photos of is modifiable and one you are willing to dedicate exclusively to SPIRIT approved usage only. Also, expect to follow the team rules and attend at least one meeting or rehearsal a week (or more during the week of an upcoming performance).

SPIRIT Skins 2.0 are HERE with Freebies!

Introducing the new, most photorealistic skin collection yet from SPIRIT...SPIRIT Skins 2.0! This first of two releases features Juliet and Giselle. While all SPIRIT Skins 2.0 share the same new body with photosourced skin base and details plus hand painted shading and highlights, each face has its own unique characteristics.

Juliet offers the more refined model look, with carefully shaped eyebrows, a streamlined nose profile, and glossy lips.

Giselle gives a more natural girl-next-door look with naturally shaped eyebrows, a slightly broader nose shape, and a hint of a smile at the corners of her lips.

Look for 2 additional faces, Torrance and Missy, to be added next month as well.

All SPIRIT Skins 2.0 are available in six skin tones (Lightest, Light, Light Medium, Medium Dark, Dark, and Darkest), come with an eyebrow shape and 5 color changeable pubic hair options on underwear layers, include freckled versions with every makeup, and are currently available in the following 18 fall makeups...
**Cat Shaped Eyeliner: Cranberry Nude, Plum Pink, Teal Rose, Twilight Crimson, Ivy Magenta, Autumn Wine

**Medium Eyeliner: Cranberry Nude, Plum Pink, Teal Rose, Twilight Crimson, Ivy Magenta, Autumn Wine

**Smoky Eyes: Smoky Nude, Smoky Pink, Smoky Rose, Smoky Crimson, Smoky Magenta, Smoky Wine

One free fall makeup is now available in every skin tone for both faces from the large posters in the SPIRIT Skins building (12 free skins total).

Join the SPIRIT group (kiosk at the SPIRIT store landing point, and it doesn't even use up one of your SL group slots or spam you with group chatter!), and you'll also receive the freckled versions of the Giselle freebie fall makeup! Be sure to try one of these free skins before purchasing a SPIRIT Skins 2.0 to make sure the face style works with your shape. All SPIRIT Skins 2.0 are no mod/copy/no transfer, so all purchases are non refundable and can't be exchanged. IM SavannahAnn McMillan before purchasing if you would like to send a SPIRIT Skin as a gift.

Huge New In the Zone Pro Cheer Uniform Collection Release!

The wait is over! After a year, SPIRIT's In the Zone Pro Cheer Mix n Match Uniform Collection still remains among our best sellers. So to celebrate this week's start of the NFL football season, we've decided to give you even more designs in the collection to choose from, this time with sculpted details and updated footwear! Also available are several items for $1 each. Below are the ads and details...


Scripted Flexi Skirts - Includes satin ruffles flexi skirt with unscripted and SmartSkirt scripted versions (so you can walk, run, stand, and sit pretty), plus the skirt base comes with built in underwear on the pants and underwear layers, or without underwear on the jacket layer.

Long Sleeved Crop Tops - Features rhinestones and hand painted details at the cleavage and on the figure flattering full satin sleeves.

Team Windsuits - Comes with pants and jacket with two collar options (up or flipped down), plus sculpted collar and pant cuffs.


3 Quarter Length Sleeve Tops - Comes on jacket, shirt and undershirt layers. Features handpainted details at the cleavage, rhinestone trim, and semi-transparent 3 quarter length sleeves.

Cropped Tied Jerseys - Comes on jacket, shirt, and undershirt layers, plus sculpted tie.

Striped V-Waist Shorts - Comes on pants and underwear layers.

Pro Spirit 3.0 Sculpted Boots - Knee high boots includes resizable scripted sculpted uppers in 3 sizes, plus sculpted foot parts for size 0 feet. Made of soft leather with a subtle sheen and long zippers on the insides of each calf, plus thick heels for maximum balance while dancing and cheering.

Also spread throughout the In the Zone collection are the following dollarbie items for just $1L each:

And finally, the SPIRIT store has been redesigned. Don't worry, the football stadium is still there containing all the cheer animations and poses, and so is the main part of the dance theater and stage. But the maze-like backstage dressing rooms have been removed, replaced with just one dressing room on the left side containing the ballet and dance animations and poses. All the other items are now arranged by category in small shops with signs over the awnings, with reduced-price skins and a brand new SPIRIT Living collection of sculpted cheer/dance themed furnishings in the center of the courtyard. Hopefully this will reduce lag and make everything much easier to find. :)
