A fair toned skin for a woman of color. Most skins have three picks, with cute names for the in between ones. White, Black and "Tan". Why is it that every skin over the very fair complexions have to be considered 'tanned' or 'tan' in nature. I am a really light skin black woman, in SL the first assumptions once realized I am african american are "why do you wear a white skin?" Does my skin have to be the color of midnight to be considered black? I didn't come to rant just to put a call to designers that every nice golden tone out there aint "tanned" some of us actually have this color naturally. I would love to see someone express that in a skin line. Right now I wear the Zoe Collection from Naughty and by far I think its come the closest.

Scrumptious Skin s - fair to dark are named for their delicious qualities. (I wear Ginger Snap).
