Platinum now stocks it's own Men's Skins!

They are here. A little bit later than advertised (*doofus smiles sheepishly*) but hopefully well worth the wait.
The first of the male skins are now available at Platinum Men.

This release contains 4 skin tones each with 6 facial hair styles all available with or without hair on the scalp. There are a lot more skin tones to come, consistent with the large range we have available for women which comprises 18 different tones.

These skins have been made with the same care and attention to detail that was lavished on the female range, again 100% hand painted and made to the same philosophy to make them as versatile as possible. I hope to add some more facial hair styles to the range in the future, but next on my priority list is continuing this range into the full set of skin tones.

Here are a few shots of some of the details on these new skins.
I am sure you will like them, and apologies for the delay. :)

New Shapes by Platinum!

Launched today is the new Platinum Shape Range! I am very excited as these shapes are the best that Platinum has ever sold, I have spent a lot of time refining the old editions as well as creating new ones. The shapes are both sexy and classy and they have been tried with lots of skin variations so they work with lots of skin designers!

But best of all....... They are all completely modifiable! I still don't understand why some shape designers don't offer their shapes as modifiable. An example of this is Tracey Sassoon at Alady, she mentions she doesn't sell modifiable shapes as its because people copy shapes..... But how annoying is it when you cannot tweak your shape or adjust it to fit hair or clothes. When you buy a shape its a starting point to mould to how you want it! In my view, buying shapes that are not modifiable is a complete waste of time and money. My partner Kira Paderborn at Platinum believes the same thing and all her shapes are modifiable too!

So here are a few samples of the new shapes and enjoy!




Kelly is the perfect shape for a supermodel or escort! Beautifully crafted and one of the sexiest shapes in Second Life!




Abi is an old classic at Platinum - we have given Abi a make-over and she is even more high class than before, just look at those face lines and the definition of the shape!




Cara is the girl next door - beautiful but an understated sexiness that Guy's will go wild for!
