I've actually got a character that uses that head as well - no pictures,
yet, because I need to do some building first. I think the one I have
might have a slight printing offset or something because she definitely
looks less 'sweet' than the other Gails. Or maybe that happens as a
result of the entire 'fig, I'm not sure.
(Printing 'defects' can sometimes do this...I got a head in trade the
other day - it was the grey-bearded pirate - and all of the grey printing
was shifted down a fraction of a millimeter. It's barely noticable unless
you're comparing two side-by-side, but it *really* makes the minifig seem
a lot more menacing.)
Anyway, I put on the brown ponytail hair and it seemed to work pretty
well - much better than the other hairpieces.

Hmm, gotta try that if I can...dunno about my ability to make a decent
pair of lips, though.
