Second Life is clearly all about the skins
When I think of skin shopping in Second Life, I get giddy. It used to be that I only had a couple of favorite designers, but while I'm a serious Tête à Pied fan, skinners are really talented these days. A boatload of new skins have just been released: Tête à Pied: Men's skins! It's been a few months since Tete released their Vivant skins for women, but now they've finally unveiled their men's line to the public. They come in six skintones and three styles, Clean Cut, Beat, and Mature. SL Men has a great review of them. Tête à Pied: The November limited edition skin, Novembre, is out. You know the drill. The skin is only available until November 30th, at which point it will be retired. PixelSpa: These are the latest skins from Nephilaine Protagonist. They come in four skin tones, ten makeups, a cateye or standard liner with each, and include an AO and a lighting rig. Each skin is 750L, but you receive 50% off if you buy all ten makeups at once. Dutch Touch: These skins come in three different tones, with five sets of three makeups per set. Pricing is 1350L for a basic skin, or 2700 for a three pack. Tuli: Tuli's skins just get more gorgeous with each edition. I remember when she was a wee newblet peddling her wares in a tiny corner. She's come far! Series 3 has four skin tones with 12 makeups each.
