| I was able to use her with my Maitreya Lara mesh body with *NO* skin appliers and in my opinion the overall skin tone match is better than with an applier. I tried the head and body with a skin applier and the neck blend was not to my satisfaction. |

| It's a no-brainer to say that Jessica is a gorgeous beautiful head, but she is also very versatile and her look can be modified and tweaked so she looks a bit different each time as you will see in the pictures that follow. |
Here, I styled Jessica a bit different each time with different makeup and hair color, there is so much you can do with her. These photos (all of them) are unretouched, only cropped for sizing. The eyelash choices are spectacular with Jessica, and I chose a thick full lash as is my preference for that bright-eyed look I am so fond of with my default avi's face.
Jessica's interface HUD is pretty intuitive, if not downright simple. I was used to the LOGO interface HUD and going over to the Catwa one took a bit of getting used to. I won't show the screenshots of it here, so many other great bloggers have already done that, I wanted to concentrate on the many looks of Jessica.
But wait! There's more! She has facial expressions also and she can move her mouth to what you type in local chat! The latter feature I probably won't use on a regular basis but the facial expressions ohhh yeah! Check out her various facial expressions below.
At first, I was a bit put off by her price tag 3599L, and I did take a week or two to think over a purchase such as this to be sure it was worth it to me. I tried the demo, I liked it but.... what really sold me on her was seeing others blog about her and showing their photos of how versatile her look can be. Once I began working with her for this photo shoot, it was a slam dunk "she's worth every penny" type of thing.
The other thing I love about Jessica is that her eyes do not come with the head, you need to use mesh only eyes with her *BUT* this allows you to use exactly the style and brand of eyes you want. They can be a bit tricky to position but once you have that figured out, the end result is the most realistic looking mesh head I've ever seen or owned yet. Great job Catwa! I've worn her hair for years now and this head is every bit as good as her hair has always been.
Styling notes:
Maitreya Lara mesh body v3.4
Blueberry Beaded Dress for Maitreya (fat pack all colors)
N-Core "Enchained" fat pack heels (worn without optional chain accents)
Boho Bangles bracelets by Maxi Gossamer (pink & silver)
IKON Triumph Eyes (denim)
Exile "Under the Sun" hair in the last two sets of collages.
To summarize, if you are looking for a versatile and realistic looking mesh head, Catwa's Jessica is the one. She's easy to use and looks the most natural of all the mesh heads I currently own. I also notice with this head, she looks really good under MOST lighting situations... a few of my others *REQUIRE* studio lighting and lots of it in order to look their best. Jessica takes to light and shadow equally so she's very easy to photograph. I give her a five star rating!
