My Spirit Calls Yours
Logo has released v3.0 of their Alex mesh head. If you haven’t received the update as of yet, you can head down to the Logo mainstore and hit the redelivery terminal.
There are quite a few updates to Alex this time around and you can see a full list of them in this Logo blog post. One of the most important updates is the inclusion of makeup and tattoo layers for the Omega version of this head. You can find the makeup/tattoo layer in the Omega folder and then apply any omega makeups you desire. You can even wear this with the non-omega version of this head in case you want to wear any omega makeups with the default skin to give it more of a unique look.
I’m also wondering if there is a possibility to make a copy of the omega layer and wear it twice and be able to apply makeups on two different layers? That would give you a lot more options I think. Not sure if it would work, I didn’t try it myself, but I thought it may be an interesting idea since people love to experiment with makeup layers.
I didn’t apply any makeup layers for this post since I like this Glam Affair Sia applier as is. However, if you are looking for Omega skins and makeups to experiment with on this head, you can find a list of them on the Omega blog:

> Omega Makeup List
Other important and fun updates to the head include chat emotes and now expression add-on packs can be added to the HUD. I really liked the fact that the different sets of expressions can now be sent to the main Logo HUD, this way I don’t have to wear a bunch of different HUDS to access all of my expressions. I made a video which I’m linking below where you can see all of my separate expression sets which I have loaded into the main HUD. You can also see me playing with the fun chat emotes in the video. To see a whole list of chat emotes, just type “listemotes” in the chat window when wearing the head and you’ll see all of the shortcuts for the emotes. Every time you type in those shortcuts, even in mid-conversation, it will trigger the related expression. It’s a very interesting way of making the avatar feel more alive. You can also add or replace any emotes on your own. Check out the Emote Instructions page for all the details.
Here is the video of me playing with the emotes: https://youtu.be/cvdSvITuzDw
The outfit I’m wearing is called Spirit and it’s currently available at Kustom9 from Bueno. One thing I did want to point out about this dress is that I am wearing the fitmesh version of this dress and it clipped at the shoulders slightly at different angles/poses while I wore it with the Maitreya body. There is no Maitreya version, but it is available in SLink and standard sizes. So if you do plan to wear it with your Maitreya body, make sure to try the DEMO first!

I did and use the makeup layer twice (to get the full hairbase of a creator AND some freckles) – so it works 🙂
That’s awesome Charlie, thank you for letting me know!
Great post! I can’t watch the video because my browser is being lame but I’ll watch it later, would like to see how the head looks on vid. And thank you so much for your shout-out, you’re literally the best! <3
You’re very welcome Daphne! <3
I was just at Glam Affair at length today looking for appliers for Catwa and/or Logo Mesh Heads. Right now I’d love to use my Logo head and am looking for Glam Affair Appliers for the Logo head. Where on earth are they? What part of the sim am I missing? I do know the Sia appliers were at Shiny Shabby but this last round I couldn’t get there! Are they in the mainstore now somewhere?
Any help is appreciated 🙂
Great Post as always Berry 🙂
Hi Blush, Aida has a new Logo applier at Shiny Shabby this time. I am not sure where Sia is, it should be in her store now but if you can’t find it there, probably means she hasn’t put it out yet. You can ask her but not sure when it’ll be there. Sorry about that.
The heads look beautiful but you can wear them only if you want to look like a girl in her early teens.
Beautiful styling as always, Strawberry.
I popped down to logo this morning. I looks to me like these are “full” avatars is that the case? Also have the other also been up dated?
I’m looking to get my 1st mesh head and can not settle on one I like any thoughts…
OH and one other thing a while back you did a School photo meme? and I recall you talking about the smiles being odd, how about an up date to that with the new mesh heads?
Hi Lobbie, they say full avatar, but it is just a mesh head. It does not come with a body. As far as I know, only Alex has been updated so far.
I haven’t had a chance to do any memes because of my work schedule, but hopefully in the new year I plan to bring them back and I can definitely do some of my old ones again. For now though, you can still continue to do the older memes and add to the flickr group if you like:

I loved watching the video on the chat expressions. This mesh head is amazing. Where can I get the Sia applier for the Logo Alex mesh head?
Oh nevermind the question about where the Sia applier can be found. I looked all over the shop and did not see it there. I saw that Blush asked. I will look in the store again. Thanks 😀
LOGO’s Chloe has also been Omega updated and the 4.0 update will be out soon.
ok so i got the lara mesh body, the Logo mesh head Alex and sia applier is that all?
Where in the world did you get the Sia applier??? Ugh, going nuts, I have been there everyday!! (Gonna log on and go have a look about again!!) – Ron if you get this comment, where “EXACTLY” did you find the Sia applier?? LoL
Hey Blush. I just found out that Aida puts all of her skin appliers in her satellite store so I went to check and the Sia logo applier is there. This is the SLurl to the Glam Affair satellite store:

Dear Strawberry, omg i feel like a mega noob ! But .. well after strugling with the applier on the head .. now the eyes… i know they are from IKON but .. if i’m right you need also a applier for it ? .. Or what do i need to do. The Alex is amazing .. but far from easy ! thanks
Barbarella, the eyes I am wearing are mesh from Ikon. I did not use any kind of applier.
