SKIN TWO CD-ROM Volume 1 [CD-ROM]

SKIN TWO (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1998

Skin Two's first CD-ROM is out at last - and it blows the competition right out of the water! Finally, here's a fetish CD-ROM that offers the kind of interactive pervy experience this technology has always promised.

The Skin Two CD-ROM is the latest incarnation of the stylish, good-humoured pervery of the world's top fetish organisation, making full use of the potential of interactive multimedia to bring you the ultimate on-screen experience. Flicking through a magazine was never this much fun! In the tradition of our legendary magazine and website, top UK multimedia designers have created a quality product which combines a cutting-edge interface with the eroticism and glamour of the fetish scene.

The Skin Two CD-ROM includes seven sections on related areas of fetish interest: clubbing, photography, illustration, online, talent, fiction, opinion.

Here's a taste of just some of these:

Photography Go behind the scenes with the UK's best fetish photographer Trevor Watson. Watch Trevor at work both in the studio and around the London streets by night and get a flavour of the superb collaboration between him and his fetish supermodel girlfriend Debbie Griffin. Includes a collection of classic Watson images.

Clubbing Ever wondered what a kinky club is really like? Ever wanted to go but lacked the nerve? With the Skin Two CD-ROM you can enjoy the delights of a top fetish club in London in amazing 3D without a bouncer in sight! Incredible photographic virtual reality techniques allow you to look around as if you were really there. Explore the darkest corners of the club or take a spin with some very special guests... Meet other guests in the VIP lounge - performers, models, designers and clubbers just like you - and listen to them share their fantasies and experiences.

Illustration Dare to enter the cruel and erotic world of Californian artist Michael Manning, where beautiful androgynous beings stalk each other through a stark monochrome garden of unearthly delights. Hear the artist talk about his Japanese inspiration, and watch his sweeping pen strokes create exotic creatures engaged in bizarre sexual play.

And even more online...

And that's not all...interviews, contributions by rising stars of the new media, games, free membership of the Skin Two Online website and much more...

1.0 out of 5 stars An out-dated waste, November 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: SKIN TWO CD-ROM Volume 1 (CD-ROM)

Despite the fact that there (supposedly) isn't much quality fetish multimedia out there, this CD is a waste of time. The movies are "behind-the-scenes" substitutes for REAL content and the interactivity is clumbsy and contrived.

I don't know when this CD was produced but it suffers from the same problem as most early multimedia: far too much form over content. Face it people, the reason why we buy such a CD is not for the flashy (and they aren't even that) interfaces. It's for pictures/sounds/movies and as many as you can cram on a CD without sacrificing overall quality.

To top it off, the presentation is occasionally incompatible with Windows 2000. You spend a good deal of your time manually navigating the content via Windows Explorer if you want to find anything.

In sum, lame and contrived. Save your money - I wish I had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! Possibly the best fetish CD ever., March 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: SKIN TWO CD-ROM Volume 1 (CD-ROM)

The Skin Two CD is beautifully designed and full of wonderful quirky detail. Appealing to a spirit of adventure both in form and content, it gives a snapshot view of a London underworld which many people dream about but few experience.

Trevor Watson's images are totally brilliant and the video of him at work with girlfriend and muse Debbie throws a new light on his work by bringing out his toungue-in-cheek sense of fun. In fact the whole graphic design of the interface itself is a finely-judged tease.

The clubbing section is particularly satisfying allowing the voyeur to roam around a fetish club and linger on its inhabitants in photographic detail. The interviews section here is one of the best touches. It lets you listen to a choice of interesting characters answering initmate questions about their lifestyle and sexuality, something you probably wouldn't get the chance to do on a real-life visit.

In fact the CD mixes fantasy with documentary in a totally unique way and manages to both titilate and inform without any pontification. The folks who put this together were smart enough to manage this tricky balance and did so with a wonderful sense of taste and judgement, and also a good deal of loving care it would seem.

Those looking for pornography as such will be disappointed however. The eroticism here is incredibly horny precisely because you are required to take your mind and imagination along with you. This sets it apart from anything comparable I have seen and gives it a unique edge.

The content is both fun and challenging at the same time. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is fascinated by the aesthetics of role-play and sex.
