    Mesh Heads (yes I know!!!!_)

    Posted

    It seems to depend on the look you want to achieve. I was surprised that the Lelutkas I demo'd were all so different when trying to get my look.

    Of course its not over and never will be. If the L$ was lower I might have bought two.....9_9

    When the time is right I'll try some different heads as mentioned in the posts above and who knows what???? :)

    We blondes should stick together......9_9

    Rhonda!!!!!!! *wags finger*

    Of course I've considered skins...........

    I need to wait at least a few days though. Hehe.

    Thank you for the complements! You wouldn't believe the efforts involved. Or maybe you would.:D

    I've  sorted the mascara but still playing with lipstick and eye shadows.

    Skin may be the last big hurdle.......or maybe not.

    I'm absolutely delighted how Simone has captured some of my look and I'll drop in on the forum hangout when I get the chance in case anybody would like a closer look.  ?

    Without all your help and encouragement I wouldn't have this look after ten weeks in SL and I really do appreciate that. ???

    Right girls, I have something to show you! :x*excited laugh*...... Simone has come good. Here she is - no make up yet, I need a few more days to experiment and so on, but I'm as thrilled as I was with my Lara body............................

    More thrilled, as it seemed like an impossible mountain to climb. I've gone a skin shade lighter, and blue eyes for the moment. They just look better..................

    See what you think!

    Nice look Ceka.

    I've just given up on the Catwas. All three were similar, and nowhere near as good as Simone....................

    Breaking News........ I've purchased Simone.........now to start looking at skins and make up..............

    It never ends does it?

    hehe

    I'm moving a lot closer to Simone today, although May is a very close contender. I've done a complete rejig of both, this time starting with the default settings, and they both look better for that.

    I need to get the three Catwas tested, but already I'm becoming a Lelutka whore.............

    I can feel it in my bentos.... haha.:D

    I tried green eyes initially, more like my RL colour, but have grown attached to the big brown eyes of my system Avi......

    Here's Simone again..........

    My last post for today. Three Catwas to do as soon as possible. I tried one of the Mayreals but I've been spoiled by these Lelutkas............so didn't bother in the end.

    I have a rival for Simone, and it's May.............. They are so close, it will be difficult to chose.

    First another image of Simone, then two of May............. I wonder if the Catwas will be as good?

    Wow and more Wows!!!

    In the words of (maybe) Gene Roddenberry..........

    "We have found our Captain"............

    Crikey I've spent the last hour on the sliders with Simone............... last night I raided Lelutka and took three more demos. Simone didn't look that promising, but as some of you said, the head looks very different once you get sliding stuff about...............

    Anyway I'll carry on testing all the others, and post the images, because, you know, it might help those who are following my progress in this..........

    Here she is................................

    I'm so pleased with this one, you wouldn't believe how pleased I am.......... (gush gush)..........................:D

    Oh wow.....................

    The unknown unknown gets me every time......................haha:D

    But I'm ever so grateful for all this info. I've just grabbed half an hour and got three more Lelutka demos. I do like them........

    Does Glam affair have an in-world store???

    Time for bed and more dreaming about mesh heads..............

    Nighty night everyone. *kiss kiss*

    Hi Janet. Well, they say that practice makes perfect!!! haha!

    I love the matching skin tone with this head, and I'm almost convinced. The whole thing is lovely, the HUD is easy to navigate, and the look is almost right. It's just those hairy caterpillars on the brow. Maybe  I can buy something to cover them. It was mentioned earlier in this post by angeoco..... It's just another complication!!!

    Oh and I have another five head demo's to get through......................don't know how I'll get the time away from RL, but needs must...:D

    Another hour spent on Chloe and the results are good. Still not sure about those brows though. Can't get them any less obvious although at least they are blonde!

    See what you think - compare to image 3 in my last post........

    Here's an update............ I found an hour this morning and started out with the two Lelutka demos, Cate and Chloe. The HUD is amazing, and I quickly discovered that Chloe was closer to what I want than Cate, so I spent more time on Chloe. The skin match is excellent. It's worth mentioning that when you wear the new head, it adopts the slider values in place, so looks terrible first off........:x

    The images which follow are just for a guide. The first is my current look, and what I'm broadly aiming for.

    The second is Cate - not too much time spent on Cate and I didn't match the skin. Both Lelukas have heavy eyebrows, can these be edited? I couldn't see how................

    Cate does look a bit 'blokey' set up like this......not a great look. They both look similar in the images, but Chloe is softer and I know I can work on her.

    So quite a promising start, and I'm gaining confidence rapidly.

    Best advice so far? Write down all the slider numbers for your number 1 look, then you can easily restore. I can't remember who said this, but that is definitely a top tip.

    Tomorrow I can work a few more demos...........9_9

    I've had a really good day today in the malls......

    After trying out the hair demos, I ended up buying more than I planned.......*coughs*..........nine in total.:x9_9

    Is there a cure for this affliction?

    So I'm still waiting for a clear time slot to try my demo heads.......three Catwas, two Lelutkas, and two from Mayreal. Not a brand I've heard of, but close to the look I'm after.

    You know, after a couple of days in-world at the beginning I didn't know if it was for me..................................... Then I found the marketplace and it started to make sense. But I didn't really expect the SL experience to become so much fun. And so addictive...........

    I spend time in RL looking forward to returning, and planning my next big thing. It's really lovely!!!:D

    I hope it lasts!!

    This photo was taken in August of 2017. The dress is from 2015 -- so yes I cheated a bit but I am OLD :SwingingFriends:. 

    I have worn this dress a few times including a machinima filming. It is indeed my favorite Baiastice dress -- and I have a lot of Baiastice :D.  This is the Bia Dress and hopefully still available as it has GREAT staying power.  We went dancing at Franks a day or so later and there were many eyes focused on this dress LOL.

     

    FUN!

     

    PS. I didn't "buy" this. I don't buy clothes :D. So full disclosure. 

     

    Lovely outfit. What head is this please?
