 Greetings,                                              24 DEC 01

 This skin set "Sea of Tranquility" is a brand new skin set. This set
only took me a few days to complete due to the fact that it's the 
Holiday Season and I have a few days off.

 The photo reference used for this skin set comes from a 1960's styled
dress. There is some differences between the skins and the dress in
the images but nothing too drastic. I made some major changes to the
design covering the dress. I only added lighter colors to the areas
that were darker so that the dress fabric looks even and at the same
exact depth. The skin set uses the "B008FAFit" styled mesh. I added
in Jerome's high heel version for looks (I favor the high heeled look
even though using them "doubles" your skins in each style). As a added
bonus I also copied and renamed the skins so that the added "skinny"
skin set of the dress is included. It's up to you if you also want to
ad those to the game. Or you might just want to keep the "skinny"
version and can the high heeled version. Keep in mind that the "B008FASkn"
version is exactly the same as the others only for the difference in
the file name.

 As for the name?? The Sea of Tranquility is known for being the landing
site of Apollo 11. It was this location that the infamous "small step for 
man" took place in the southwestern part of the Sea of Tranquility on 
July 20, 1969. Upon landing, astronaut Buzz Aldrin surveyed the terrain 
and called it "magnificent desolation.". "Mare Tranquillitatis", the Latin
name for this dark spot visible in the northern hemisphere of the moon.
The reason I named this skin set such, was that I felt that when you look
into the designs in the fabric you can actually see images. Sort of what
you can do is you look at the moon through a telescope. And yes, you
can actually see a image in the design. You can see a yelling or singing
face. Where?? Look at the blouse, look right between the front and the
back of the blouse. Right in the middle there appears to be a face that
is pointed towards the left (your left). The nose and open mouth are pointed 
to your left. The "chin" is actually on the lower edge of where the blouse
meets the skirt.

 I did not intend to make a face in the blouse, it just happened.

 I strive to make skins that speak for themselves. I make it a point to
spend more time with the skins so that they show attention to detail. So
much detail that most will see that difference. Granted, most of the details
(like uneven yet realistic hemlines) don't appear in the game itself due
to the angles. But the user can take heart that it's there.

 Semper Fidelis,

 Enjoy,
