A Quick Tip For Choosing a Head In Second Life

I finally got a Catwa head and I love it!

Here's my tip to choose a head! 

I have been wanting a Catwa head on and off for months but didn't buy one because I already had a head. In my shopping adventures I'd noticed that many head appliers are made for Catwa, especially gacha's which I love buying because I can pick up some really nice stuff for super cheap.

So I made the decision to buy a Catwa head but that was only the beginning because then I had to choose one, there are 20! I spent days demoing different Catwa heads, some I didn't like personally but a few I did and I didn't know how to figure out which one I liked best because by the time I'd tried on a few I couldn't remember the first! *Giggles* So I tried taking screenshots then comparing but that didn't really help as a screen shot just isn't the same as in world.

I shared my frustration with my partner, he was amused... but then he helped me out. He said, you need to try one on then a second and ask yourself which you like best, choose your best then compare that one with the next one and keep choosing. I realised I couldn't take them off then put one on and choose that way because I don't have a photographic memory so I brought in the help of my split personality... erm.. alt character.

I stood my alt next to my avi and I tried on two different heads, side by side I could choose which one I liked best, then I would keep that one on and try the next one on and again side by side decide which one was best. This advice was priceless! I chose a head in under an hour, it was so easy!

If you're in the market for a mesh head and not just Catwa then you'll have even more to choose from so I hope this little tip helps! Also if you're someone who wants to switch to mesh but you feel like your system head is just so you and you want to keep your look, you could log in an alt and stand them next to your main avi to find the mesh head that is closest to your look.

For me it was just a matter of finding the head that I loved and made my heart sing and that was Koura. I love it so much I haven't even changed the shape yet!

Good luck and I hope you have fun finding your head instead of banging your head against the wall trying to choose between countless ones.

My New Flame Outfit

Back before mesh avatars, I created an outfit, I scrapped it however thinking no one wanted texture applier clothing anymore.. I realised recently that there is a place for texture appliers since sometimes when piecing together an outfit you have clothes glitching through other clothes! So I've brought back my flame outfit, I edited it to improve the texture and created it in multiple colours. The inspiration to pull it out from the back of my hard drive also came from my purchases from Sole, they had a sale so I splurged to get their SciFi items; arm tech, greaves, wrap belt, backpack, mask and sword. As I was readying my outfit to piece with it, Azoury also had their Robotic head on sale at an event which was awesome timing for me.  You can grab my flame outfit from my store, Rariti on the marketplace. This is one of the bonus colours available for the Fatpack . Wearing in Top SciFi Pic   Head : ┍  Azoury  ┙ Nicodeme Robotic Head Body: ...
