The Catwa Freya mesh head

Hi Natty!  What's happening?  Is it exciting for you over there?  I sure hope you are feeling well, and having a great time.  It's a nice, cool day over here.  It didn't start off that way, but it's sure comfortable now.  I spent the evening picking mangoes from the big tree in my front yard.  The Prophet (peace be on him) recommended that we break fast with dates but I don't like dates, so I break my fast with a glass of red sugar water and ripe mangoes.  This year, Ramadan is right smack in the middle of mango season!



I've been spending many hours working on the Catwa Freya mesh head, and I think I finally got it to look acceptable.  A mesh head is better in quality and more in features than the system head we get for free when we sign up with Second Life.  My mistake was using Mary's avatar as a model instead of Mary herself.  Here is the system head that Mary Unknown7 has been using for her avatar:
And here is my latest update to the Catwa Freya mesh head which was a giveaway, and almost everyone got for free:
I presented it to Mary, and she said it looks much better than the last time.  Thus she has consented to our using the Freya mesh head from now on.  The Catwa Kimberly mesh head is a more accurate representation of Mary's appearance, but I can't afford that right now.  The Freya mesh head isn't bad though.  The only people who bitch about the free gift are the ones who don't know how to shape and style it.  Mesh heads have to be used with the shape that comes with it, and that default shape makes the avatar look like a midget woman with a super big butt, so I can understand the people's dismay when they try it on for the first time.

So these will probably be the last snapshots I take of Mary's avatar with the old system head:


 Mary kind of looks like Daisy Ridley in this one!
