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.

Living Doll

I always love playing around with the look of my avatar in Second Life so in a sense, my avatar is like my doll. I like the idea of sometimes making my avatar a doll but I found that some of the options available limited my clothing options since they were mesh doll bodies like the one I posted about here . So I decided to create my own ball-jointed doll body applier to go onto the tattoo layer of my Maitreya body, this way I get to be a doll without changing my shape or skin! I can dress my doll in anything I like from my inventory! I had fun making it and had fun dressing my doll to create my latest photo!

Ice Cream is Always a Good Idea!

One thing I love about Second Life is that it's open for complete creativity. You can be, do or have whatever you like and people's imaginations come alive! The same goes in your first life too, believe in yourself and allow your dreams to come true! Please click image to view larger There's so much fun to be had creating your desires and exploring other people's creations in Second Life. Recently in my exploration I found a fun kawaii type store with sales on! It's called *Epic* and I got these cute skates which include a skating animation as well as heart trail particles. I also got these ice cream wings which can be worn with or without falling heart particles and come with a re-size script. Please note: I stumbled across *Epic*'s sale in world and I don't know when it's ending, I also found that things were on sale in world but on the marketplace were their normal price. I also came across a cute store on the Marketplace called Ninet
