And the little cute one on the stand is a Fakkare from Target

When they don't show the quantity on the site it means they are out of stock.

Nope, not true

I wanted the black satin retro and golden pearl maximas and found the same thing, and guess what? I called in and they WERE in stock. So do not take the site for granted so easily!

They are all so beautiful!

I didn't realise how lovely the black ones look, too.

Okay, okay.... here you go:

Without flash:

With flash:

From left to right:
Small Maximas Primavera Black w/ Gold
Large Maximas Golden Jade
Large Maximas Black Satin w/ Silver
Large Maximas Golden Pearl w/ Silver

The photos are not exactly good, but I promise to make better ones as soon as the clips are really mine.

The Black Satin is very soft-looking, on the photo it looks mainly boring. But I love it in RL. My bf doesn't like it, he says it looks "pseudo-modern". Ah okay...
He also doesn't like the Golden Pearl. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed, too... on the photos it looks very radiant and, well, golden... in RL it seems a bit dull. But maybe it's the light, and I have to go look again.

I also have some doubts about the Golden Jade. I was so looking forward to this clip, and it's really beautiful... but it looks like the upper clear varnish has weird streaks, maybe you can see them in the photos... They cover the whole clip, so I don't think they are flaws, but it makes me a bit sad, as in the wrong light it looks as if the varnish is scratched, and it spoils the beautiful green-and-gold streakiness beneath.

Can anybody who owns a Golden Jade tell me if that's normal?

The small Primavera is a Christmas gift for my bf's mother. Unpacking it, I was outright shocked at how small it is - it's miniscule! ^^ But I looked at pictures and I think it will be right for her hair... I just hope she will be able to see the thing when she opens the box...

YAY! I was really happy to get my new black and white leopard max today....thanks Tabitha!

I was worried that we wouldn't get them when I read the post about the batch that we had been waiting for the back orders from was rejected and the design discontinued, but I guess we were lucky and there were at least two in the batch that were ok. I was starting to think I would never be able to get one of these. Tabs must have worked some magic!!

My hair is around 20 inches long, it's 2aMiii. My ponytail circumference is 3,9 inch.
I'd like to buy a Ficcarissimo and I'd like to wear it similiar to this:

Do you think a medium Ficcarissimo would be okay?
When I wear my hair like maibaum I can fit it in a medium flexi 8 but it's really tight and the large fits a bit better.
