Two-Sided (25TH PLACE)

Two-Sided (25TH PLACE) skin description

EDIT: 25th, look at that gorgeous round number! Not quite enough to beat my personal record of 19th place, but eh. I admit, this skin is not the most beautiful I've ever made. And anyway, I've never seen a teen skin feature higher than 20th. My entry for the Online Personas contest. How does this skin relate to the theme, you ask? This is a conglomeration of the two "mes" - the fabulous PMC me, and the real-life me. On one side, you have the inordinate amount of hair (I have thick bangs, a bun, and yet it still comes down to my waist in the front AND the back????), the decorative pastel shirt, fishnet leggings, and stockings with garter straps. Cute, I guess. On the other side, you have the more realistic person - duller eyes, more casual clothing, simple and comfortable shoes, and a far more realistic amount of hair. Yet the two sides are still clearly the same person. (Disclaimer: This isn't a let's-all-feel-bad-for-uncool-Myra party. This is an occasion for laughing at what a dweeb I am IRL.) I guess, on PMC, I'm pretty cool. Ha-ha, you may say. Yeah, okay, well, I don't have a cult following like some people, but I have friends. I have people who comment regularly (you're awesome, by the way). I got more than four thousand views on a skin one time, it was fun. But honestly, all of those should be huge red flags as to what I'm like in real life. Anyone who invests that much time in getting cool on a video game fansite is probably a massive nerd offline. If you think that about me, you're absolutely right! I'm homeschooled and I have one really good non-relative friend that I can name currently (but I won't, because she likes her online anonymity). I have glasses AND braces, usually at the same time (sometimes I opt for contact lenses instead). I wear stupid graphic T-shirts to pretty much everything: church, parties, you name it. About 50% of the shoes I own are Converse, and I very rarely wear two of the same color at once. At least I have my rockin' good looks on my side. No amount of geekiness can ever dull those. Please don't comment anything "constructive" (telling me that I'm cool and you don't care what I'm like in real life because I'm a kind person, etc). I'm not saying that I appear better online than I really am. I'm saying that I'm just different. I post skins a lot based on what I'M into and not based on whatever happens to be the fad; I produce a lot of skins wearing things like I would wear in real life, and somehow none of them get very popular, because I guess everyone wants to appear really cool and preppy, and they like skins that are "original" and "kawaii" as opposed to realistic. I'm cool with that; I'm just explaining my reasoning. Feedback is appreciated. Myra out.
