   It's not my fault you got a shroom-head!

I know. Anything not white was pretty horrid. And depending on how far back you go, even white skins were orange and I'm not talking Ruth, but more 2009 ish.

I was briefly involved with a Chinese American male and the choices for them are now really nice! And I've done a stint as a black avatar, in fact, it turns out some people in the forum thought I was black (and gosh in real PC manner treated me better until they found out I wasn't! reverse something or other eh?)

I used lelutka for my black woman, who I love the look of, but it turns out she is too... competent! for me to feel comfortable in. Back in 2011? I did another black avatar, an alt, and the skins and heads are much better now. This was me 2019. And looking at the photo now, nope, still not that confident.   sigh. Yup I'm very much the pasty, insecure, bad self-esteem white chick in both worlds.

For what it's worth, I think  she's beautiful.

I think so too! She was based on a RL model, a very striking woman. I just can't carry her off!

I can't sleep. So I went back inworld, and back on topic.

Resetting the skeleton, didn't work.

I did a shape revision to set the ear settings to zero. Nope. Didn't work.

I tried using the large sized ears. Nope. Didn't work.

So far what is working is wearing the divot covering old old hair (which I still love. I wish the designer was still around , who was Zero Style).

Sigh. This is dumb.

I still can't save a photo to disk, so again, a snipping tool shot. The human sized scratching post cracks me up but I love it.

I get HOLES in the side of the head. I don't know if these screenshots really show it. But they are great big dents, that the skin pattern follows. It is like the head is made of clay and someone just pushed a big old spoon in my head.

For the holes in your head you have to wait till genus fixes that.

They said that they will fix it with one of their next updates soon. But i dont know when soon will be. I am waiting for over an year now that they will fix it.

When I first came to SL, it was all white girl skins dyed brown so making lips look anything close to RL was nearly impossible.  I think the only black skins I could find all looked ashy.  I will say that the mesh head generation of skins is 100% better.

I hated that back then.. CS had some and were about the only ones I could find besides a couple more places that I can't remember the names of.. I ended up wearing the same skins for a long time  because there just wasn't anything else to choose from.... It seemed like everyone else was blond and dipped in baby powder.. hehehe

This was what the CS skins looked like on me. Don't mind the hair, it was a phase..hehehe

Thank you for that news. I knew updates were in the works but with everything else Genus has been involved in over the past year, I know all of that got tabled.  I figured someone else on the Forum had a Genus head and ears and might know something. ♥

Genus has had a hard year, but can they really not fix things like this and update the heads? Or include a head with no ears and no holes in the head folder.
