I rocked the default for a while and was happy enough to do so. But then Lo made me a skin and now I will never go back! :D <3333333

I used to look at skins for sale often enough, but it seems like every female skin has dark lipstick. >| I, personally, hate lipstick. And my av wouldn't look right with it anyway. I tried on a Munchflower skin once and it just looked WRONG. :\ Munchflower's skins are really nice, but they just don't work on me. I guess because they look mature and my av doesn't. XD

Also, those photorealistic skins freak me out too. I agree, it is sometimes like looking at a corpse. :( I'm not a big fan of photorealistic anything, though. SL, as wonderful as it is, is not very realistic. And so I tend to think the textures should match.

*nods*

But, anyway, yeah. I'm skinned 4 lyfe now. XD

I have ... something like 20 different ones.

I love them! But I have not able to play much now, I haven't logged on in forever. :(

I have quite a few of Munch's gorgeous skins, but to be honest I usually wear her plain, pale one. I goes well with my red hair, andI guess it is just 'me' now.

I do sometimes wear my darker tattooed one though, when I fancy a 'bad girl' day, lol.

Well love may be too strong a word but I do really really like my skin. I would love to be able to adjust the color just a bit though.

For me having a skin is about details. The shading that they add is very important to me. To get undressed and look like on big old lump is unappealing to me so my skin adds that extra shading that I need to see!!!

It's actually a matter of choice. My avie's face is damn gorgeous with or without a skin :))))

Oh and some of you skin makers, dont' sell those skins if they are not quite ready :)))

I have around 15 skins i love them all i never wear a basic second life skin, to me it looks to weird however photo skin's (taken from a nake person o.O) those creep me out but i like hand-drawn one's i am attempting to make a skin been working on it and so far seems ok, but the bad part about skins is that i always have to adjust my shape, All my skins make my avatar look way diffrent sometimes they look better and sometimes they look way worse but if they look way worse its fun for me i love changing my avatar all the time. The best thing i like about sl is making custom content for avatars its simply fun! :D
