Thanks, Stephanie. I'm glad I didn't buy one. I thought you could change more things - like skin tone and eye color - and I didn't like everything about any one skin.

Depends on the skin. I would not choose Redgrave if you want your face to look pretty much the same as it is now - Redgrave will make you look dramatically different. Always try a demo before purchasing to make sure the skin gives you the look you want.

That's good to know about Redgrave. I didn't like any of the Redgrave faces enough to want one without changing it. And I'll try on the demo first.

It really depends on the look you want to achieve. Some people like photorealistic skins, others prefer hand drawn style. I like Fleur skins for variety and value for money, they also don't seem to make your face look dramatically different. So many other good skin designers, check out the Fashion Feed perhaps? Fashion World of SL You'll see tons of different skins on there.

I will check out the link - thanks! The one person I talked to said that Redgrave if the only one I should consider. Now that I saw the store (which is very nice) I don't know why a person would think its selection would suit everyone. I don't know what style I want. I like my noob skin , but I don't know if it looks right with some revealing clothing. I'll look and see the variety available

Yes. Go into appearance mode, and at the bottom choose "Make Outfit". You can then choose to have everything you are wearing including your skin and shape saved in a subfolder in the Clothing folder in your inventory. Name the folder to something you'll remember. Watch out if anything you are wearing is no copy though, it will be moved to that new folder.

This is probably the same as doing Io's "worn" suggestion, right? This is all good to know - I need to organize my clothing inventory before it takes over the world. And thanks for the warning about "no copy" - I didn't think about that and know some things I have are "no copy".
