VERSION : The Titeless Wonder
DURATION : 06.19.99 - 10.10.99
EXPANSION : The original, mostly-text verson of skin me... was never capped, and the HTML files are long gone. Let us all take a moment to contemplate how lucky we are for that.

VERSION : Jeri Skin Ryan
DURATION : 10.11.99 - 06.20.00
EXPANSION : A gift from Mel. This isn't quite how it actually looked, as I've since lost both caps and a couple of the necessary files, but you get the idea. It was the first actual theme skin me... had, and I kept it up forever.

VERSION : SkinMe L. Jackson
DURATION : 06.21.00 - 12.17.00
EXPANSION : I was going thru this "Sam Jackson is god" kick right about the time Shaft came out. So of course I ended up at the official site, ripping thru the wallpapers looking for graphics material....

VERSION : Kozue's Mysterious Charm
DURATION : 12.18.00 - 03.20.01
EXPANSION : Part of a wave of Kaoru-decorated blueness that was taking over my sites at the time. I'm still not sure why Kozue claimed this layout, since its her twin brother Miki who's my favorite Revolutionary Girl Utena character. And yet, it was always the splash page (the only place Miki actually appeared) that I really despised.

VERSION : Platinum Baby
DURATION : 03.21.01 - May '01
EXPANSION : When I saw these images at spikespotting, I pretty much knew they were destined for graphics. I remain deeply unimpressed by the main table, but the splash page is one of my all-time favorites.

VERSION : Mile End
DURATION : 10.27.01 - 12.21.01
EXPANSION : Our reopening also meant our first frames layout. I hated it. Passionately. Which is strange, as it featured one of my favorite actors, and took its color scheme from a New Order song that I've always loved. The splash page was really the only worthwhile part, and that practically made itself.

VERSION : Bass-line
DURATION : 12.21.01 - 03.25.02
EXPANSION : Ah, the horror. The lame. The sheer plastic joy that is Lance Bass. Gotta love it. XD Combining frames and image maps with an unexpected obsession, this was easily one of my favorite layouts. The dual meaning on the title probably had something to do with that, as well. ^^;

VERSION : Local God
DURATION : 03.26.02 - 08.08.02
EXPANSION : There's a series of photos that feature the members of Nsync lounging, one at a time, in the same leather chair, half of them in leather themselves, and giving the camera "you can't afford me" looks. The main exception being one of JC where you can almost hear him saying, "And what will you give me if I let you suck my cock?" I tend to refer to these photos as The Leather Prostitute Shoot, and this, as The Leather Prostitue Layout. And yes, I am a pervert, you should try it, its very warm and happy here.

VERSION : Last Embrace
DURATION : 08.09.02 - 09.18.02
EXPANSION : I wanted a new layout to celebrate the new (temporary) URL, and just to get Lance out of the house for a while, but the one I'd been playing with was giving me severe issues. So Des swooped in, and delivered some Touga, with a little Shakira kick. Its a really cool layout, and anything featuring the sex god of Ohtori gets my vote, but even after I darkened it, the reds were just too bright.

VERSION : Ten for Everything
DURATION : 09.19.02 - 10.23.02
EXPANSION : Eliza Dushku. The Violent Femmes. Isn't that really just all you need?

VERSION : Local God (Part Two) Goddess
DURATION : 10.24.02- 01.07.03
EXPANSION : Des sent me a few images that she thought needed to be used for something and the note that this one reminded her of my Leather Prostitute Layout. Consider this the sequel.

VERSION : But How She Amazed Me
DURATION : 01.08.03 - 03.31.06
EXPANSION : I was trolling eBay and came across a slanty, distant scan of a poster, which, of course, just had to speak to me. Softly. Insistently. There may have been purring involved. I spent the next several days at World of Britney hunting the actual image down, and the first person who tells me they don't like the layout is getting their genitals served to them on a platter of baby skulls.

VERSION : (and i'm throwin' elbows)
DURATION : 04.01.03 - 05.29.03
EXPANSION : *blinks repeatedly* Well. That was unexpected.

VERSION : The Girl from Ipanema
DURATION : 05.30.03 - 04.05.07
EXPANSION : This might be the best layout I've ever done for skin me.... ....not that that's really saying much.

VERSION : Get Your Attention
DURATION : Current
EXPANSION : Went a little retro on this one: removed all image maps. It was actually really nice not having to code the damn things. And I really like how Hilary's looking at the main window. Mostly, though, after four years...I'm just glad to have something else up.
