One of the medical staff in my Launch Command scenario has this head with
brown shoulder-length hair. It gives her a 'professionally-styled' look, and
differentiates her from the legion of smileys.

I also have the Gail Storm astronaut; she's senior to all of the other
astronauts. *smirk*

About that Gail Storm face... (y'know, brown, curly hair, sweet expression)

I really like that face. I have a character that fits the face really well.
After thinking out a bit more of my story (for .castle, developing slowly) • I
realized that I'd want the same character wearing a different outfit and
different headwear. Well, I tried out different types but none of the brown
hairpieces fit the face at all! I tried a wolfpack cowl but it looks • extremely
silly.

I put a character together using that face with the Padme braids and witch's
torso - I think it looks OK. Have you tried one of those blue or black • bandana
head wraps? (like the forest wench)

No, I haven't tried neither. Wish I had them (head wraps OR Padme braids ;-)

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.

On the topic of modifying - I took a few witch faces a shaved off some of • her
eyebrows and made that toothless cackle into a pair of beautiful lips. It
looks
kinda like a black haired Storm. Talk about a makeover - it looks good as a
unique female head.

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

Sounds good... I'd try, but I have yet to find any marker paints so haven't
gotten to painting pieces -- yet...
(I can hear Jeff Johnston Mwuahaha-ing in the back of my head ;-)

Mwahahahahaaa... >8)
