The Future of Skins

**** UPDATE ****

Looks like it will be fixed!

Here too...

Thanks for voting everyone!

Attention all skin customers/creators. If you are not aware, please read and vote for this jira:

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-12962

In the 1.23 viewer, LL has changed the order of alpha layers on the avatar. This means that the slider eyebrows and makeup will now draw ON TOP OF your skin instead of underneath it.  Why is this a problem?  If your skin is permissioned "no modify" as many, many skins are and the creator did not set all makeup sliders to zero before applying their custom head texture, your skin will now look like the guy in the above photo and you will not be able to fix it. All of your no mod skins will be broken and it will be upon the creator to repair/replace every skin they've ever sold.

If your skin *is* modifiable, it is likely created that way specifically in order to utilize the underlying layers to allow for tintable lips and eyebrows (as all CS skins are), these types of skins will all be broken and likely irreparable with the slider brows and makeup appearing on top of your custom brow/lip finish.

Once again, please vote on this issue. http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-12962

Tell your friends, write a blog, anything you can think of to get the idea into LL's head that arbitrarily breaking our content is not acceptable!

New Shoes!

New flats out today. 24 colors available. Singles are L$100. Save 25-50% on packs. Navy shown above, all colors shown below.

I have several new releases in the works that should be out soon. 

I have (obviously) not been taking care of my blog. I'm considering switching to a photo only format or hiring a writer to try and keep up with it better. If I go with the latter option I'll post a call for resumes here.
