destination unknown when you don't know

People, this one is interesting. But it's not just a giveaway, it's a mystery. Like, to start with, I can't tweet my tracking link for the contest. Why? Because Astrology's Twitter account has been banned. Why? No clue. Not entirely sure what they could have done that was so bad, because Astrology is just the hair brand that followed Alice Project. I really don't know.

So what is it? Well, here's how the entry starts:
Invite your friends, win 5 fat packs... OR THE ENTIRE STORE
December 15, 2018 by Alice
Am I crazy? Yes! Am I crazy for doing this? Probably!

But it’s done. I’ve set it up. I’m typing it. It’s happening.

Astrology is having a...

Referral contest giveaway! For the entire store!!!

You could win up to 21 currently available fat packs + 3 new fat packs of your choice. I’ll probably have a couple new releases between now and January 15th, so you’ll get those too.
So...that's the offer. I don't know if she wants people to join the group--I think right now it's still free join--but:
How it works

You sign up for the contest right here and share the link provided to you. From December 15th to January 15th you can campaign to refer people to the contest. Every time someone signs up through your link, you get a point.

The 3 people who refer the MOST people to the contest are guaranteed a prize and a chance at winning THE ENTIRE STORE. Everyone else has a chance to be one of 5 people who will each win 1 fat pack.
There will be 8 total winners once the whole thing is finished.
So, do I expect to win this thing, with no access to their Twitter account now, and no Facebook to link to? No, not really. Do I like the brand enough to give them an entire blog post? Oh, yes, yes I do. Before I found Truth I lived almost exclusively in Alice Project hair, and I am slowly building up a treasure trove of the new stuff.



This is London, the small version. Usually L sizes are default for the busty, but in this case, L just gave me Tammy Wynette hair.

I love how this is a style I can wear casually, or at work--it's appropriate for both adventuring around the grid and dancing in fancy frocks.



This is Sabiana, a style that doesn't have large/small variants, but doesn't seem to need them. It's a bit more windswept, but still flexible for a bunch of settings.



And this is Horror, so named because it originally came out during October in a bloody version, I believe. I'm going to have to pull this one into edit and see if I can fix the alpha blending, and it does clip a bit into the chest, I'll have to see if that's just this pose, or if it's persistent. But for long, loose, breezy hairstyles, I love it.

I'd show off more, but seriously, that's all I have so far--all my other (many!) styles from the creator are from her former hair store, Alice Project. Many of which are still wearable today, which is neat. (Though to be fair, nearly all of them were acquired for Hallows (blood-spattered) or holiday (with candy-cane stripes, red/green stripes, or blue/ice stripes) use.

But yes--contest or no contest, I like Astrology. If she ever makes a ponytail style that has a styling hud that can change to long hair, I am hers for life. (Right now I have a ponytail from Truth that's the daily-wear option, and several loose-hair styles to switch to if needed from many makers.) Go, peruse what she has up now, know she's slowly converting the Alice Project styles to new mesh Astrology styles, and keep in mind she's a part of at least two sales events, Fifty Linden Fridays and SL Syndicate Sundays, so there are even changes to get specialty colors of her hair on discount!
