So, this will be a little different. I thought it might be both fun and challenging to feature some skins that might not be designs I would choose for myself, at least for everday wear, yet are still interesting and well made. This is more of a feature (or collection of features) than a formal review, so I won’t be going into quite as much detail as I usually try to do when I actually review a skin. But I will tell you what I think and hopefully show you enough in pictures that you can decide if you want to drop by any shops to try on some demos. Which of course you should alway do before buying a skin, no matter how great you may think it looks in the ads or on anyone else, including me. But I hardly need mention that for your benefit, experienced and discerning shopper that you are.

…and yet they all belong.
Sometimes a guy just wants a new shirt or two. It’s not that there’s nothing else to wear, or that the old ones suck now. It’s just that there’s nothing else quite like a cool new shirt. Tell me I’m wrong. For today’s SL style outing, I’ve pulled together a double handful of new and newish shirts that might just do it for you, along with some great new hairstyles by Aemilia Case.
For starters, check out these thermal shirts by Zabitan Assia. These have been out at FORM (and have been sitting in my inventory) for a little while now, but as usual I can’t get over the quality of the texture work and the subtlety of the imagery. The design at left is called “Divinity,” and it prominently features an elaborate cross done in dusty, muted colors. (more…)
