stop stalling, make a name for yourself

Sometimes, I take pictures because I can't believe how bad the avatar I'm seeing is. Sometimes, I take pictures because I've caught someone else shopping naked, and it's not just their mesh not rezzing in. And sometimes, I take pictures of pretty.

This is one of those.



I wish I knew who makes this avatar. I'm sure her base shape has much to do with it, but the shade, the shape, the glasses...she's adorable.



There's some angular action around the hips, which honestly may be less the mesh or underlying shape, and more my settings at the time--I tend to wander on shopping days with my graphics set very low.



But it's very well done. Kudos to this lady, whomever she may be. Great look.

I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden in the shade

Again, I don't remember what event I was on, though I'd be willing to bet it was something related to SLRFL, considering the vendor that can barely be made out in the lower right corner below:



That vendor, btw? In the uncropped version, it says "2012", so that also gives us a date.

I got a brand new chimney made on top, made out of a human skull

I'm just getting depressed doing this. I'll make this one march.



Oooh, no. This is BusenuR's "BK Rigged Mesh Head & Skin & Eyelashes Mesh". I'm just trying on the head. Moving on.



This is Akeruka's "Hanna" mesh head. Next.



GA.EG's "Adriana" mesh head. Next.



And this is "Barbara" from the same maker...



...and this is "Jennifer"...



...and this is "Kirsten". Cue aggrieved sigh. I don't think I can work with any of them.

I hope that I can find a place where it could be

So I had another head from SL CAT to try, but if the "Sweet" head couldn't be edited, I doubt the "Venus" head can be. So we skip.



Okay, I won't lie, this one will never be a daily look head. It's also designed to be a ToodleeDoo avatar head (though why toddler avatars want a cracked and broken doll's head, I have no idea. ToodleeDoo avatars are creepy enough on their own.)

But...it's cool. I may actually pick it up for a Hallows look.



This is an automatic no, though. This is Pure Hell's "Insane" demo. Of course it is.



This is Miss Canning's "Alexis" head, and honestly, they should just go ahead and rename her "Angelina". And no.

Much as I adore Miss Jolie, no.



This is the first Bento mesh head from Autumn Splendor, and it has the same problem I had with Utilizator's "Normie" head. Too square a jaw.



This is the "Bambi" head from Starlust. Hmm. She might have potential.



Never mind. Played about with the expressions hud a bit. Not for me.

I would have bled and cried for all the years

Here we go again...Had some time, was on a deleting spree, decided I'd go through some more mesh head demos.



Like this one, which out of the box, looks really irritated. This is the Melissa head from--I think--this store, but it's hard to tell, because the Melissa package doesn't have a landmark and there are three different maker names on the objects in the folder.



Unfortunately, this was the best I could get it to do with a bit of work, so...sorry, Melissa. You go bye-bye.



AAAAAAAAH! NEXT!

...I maan, so...this is Inaya's "Kaj" mesh head.

And no. Obviously.



This is the Mashenka mesh head from Kitties' Lair. And she's cute, I give her full points for not being a mutant on my shape out of the box. She's just nowhere like me. Which is fine, that's why I'm demoing all these heads to try to find something that is close to me.



This is the Havana head in, I think, Sunkissed? From LikeLi. Again, cute, but...no.



And this is SL CAT's "Sweet" mesh head. Hmm. Intriguing. Can I do anything with it...?

...and, that answer is no. It cannot be edited except to move the eyes by 0.00003%. Bother.

have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?

So, a bit from RL. No one panic; this won't happen that often.

The last Community Day for Pokemon Go happened on June 16th, but that was a very busy day, and the two following were no less busy, so I'm only getting to it now. I wanted to upload a few images, though.

When Pokemon Go launched, I had zero interest. I admit it. It didn't hook me. In fact, the iPod I had at the time couldn't even download the mobile program to run it, so why bother? I still don't know what changed, but about a month ago, the loves got me into it, and I fell hard.

The first Community Day I was part of was for Charizard, and I didn't understand all of the rules yet. I'm still surprised I managed to evolve two, one Shiny (which turned dark when fully evolved), and one normal. I did okay, basically, but I could have done better.

Two days ago, Niantic launched Larvitar for the Community Day festivities. This was the first one I caught:



I caught a few other things, and then my second roundboi, a Spheal:



and finally caught a wailmer:



We were sitting in a local park for this. (The iPod GPS is strange in that, generally, I can sit in one place while my Pokemon avatar runs around like a madwoman, so I get to hit all the PokeStops, and, occasionally, the gym. Others had to walk the park, back and forth, looking for the same things I got from sitting in one place. Yeah, it's kind of cheesy, but it's not a cheat--it's just the GPS interface for Apple products is fairly crap.)

This is the park:



And this is the tree we spent the three hours of the Community Day under:



It's a very pretty tree, and it only dropped one spider on me, and I can't really blame the tree for that. And the spider was pretty understanding about being relocated.

She was pretty. She was pale peach. Sadly, I have no picture of her.

Anyway, it was pretty fun. I ended up with (in addition to the other random Pokemon I caught) two pretty impressive Tyranitars, one fairly decent shiny Tyranitar, and one shiny Pupitar. Neat.

And...that's it, I just wanted a blog commemoration.

Oh, yeah, and this...



Yeah, okay. That's it.

she disguises herself in her New York fashion

This is literally the "Some" mesh head from *(OO)*YUKI. For me, it's just some kind of nope.



Sul? No.



"Sweet" is made entirely of forehead. No.



And "Tea" doesn't have enough forehead.



Hello, Tina? Goodbye, Tina.



And Viang's not bad, but I'm pretty sure I can't distort it into my face. so...nope it is.

So many heads, so many vetos...

I try to push the colours through a prism back to white

Is this my fault for pulling so many heads from *(OO)*YUKI to try? Maybe, but Muo looks strained and pinched. No.



Nina? Nooooo.



Reea is dying, or sedated. Dun' want that.



Ria's better, but still no.



Rika has freckles, beestung lips and insane makeup. Next.



Sasha's another no. Why are all these heads so tiny?

stolen kisses, pretty lies, rose garden filled with thorns

My first reaction is, "Oh, Honey, no", but...she is less of a mouthbreather than *(OO)*YUKI's April.



Kang's right out, too.



Nope. Am I being too harsh on Kit? I mean, it's really the mesh eyes I'm still wearing that give her the goggle-eyed appearance, but...still. I'm searching for something that will be my face, will be, in some sense, me. Kit is not me. I'm moving on.



Love's baby nope.



Nope for Luna, too.



And Mori is Luna, blushing.

Onward we go.

My life is like a wound, I scratch so I can bleed

Halp, no. Just no. I'm just Munch does nifty things, but their Lizzie head...I'm not even going to try.



I am now beheaded. But still, even though you look stunned by a mallet, April, I will keep you around to play with later. *(OO)*YUKI may be on to something.



But you're way off track with Boo.



And Dama looks way too nervous.



Oh, come on. Punched in the mouth and fourteen? Du is a harrrd no.



Hello, nightmare fuel. Okay, Ela's out. Why is finding a mesh head so difficult?
